Chapter 1: The Apocalypse(1)
"Akito… nothing personal." Arthur said before pulling out the sword from my chest. I can feel my lungs fill up wil blood since I was pierced in my left lung from behind. Falling to my knees I look up to Arthur. Through the struggling breathing I managed to choke out
"…Why arthur…* Tears welled up in my eyes as I see Arthur go to Camellia who is standing there watching me bleed.
"..no Arthur, Camellia didn't do anything wrong…STO-" I pauser as Arthur grabbed Camellia by her waist and pulled her into a kiss… Strangely I can see Camellia kissing Arthur back.
Suddenly, everything in my body went numb.
Not even the stab wound Arthur gave me is painful. The most painful scene is watching my love Carmellia kiss my best friend Arthurr while i bled there.
Carmellia my lover, perhaps the last face I will ever see.
They finaly broke the kiss and I see Carmellia walking towards me with Arthur's blade in her hand.
"Sorry Akito, nothing personal. You're simply too much of a trouble if we keep you alive."
She said while walking towards me with the bloody blade clutched in her hand.
I managed to choke out. "I get it Carmellia. Im a F grade fighter. I have been dragging the party behind for a long time…" before the sword can slash my neck off my life flashes before my eyes.
I recalled the memories before the days of Apocalypse.
I was a lawyer for a private company. Carmellia, I had been dating her for a year before the Apocalypse happened. She used to be a lawyer as well, oh how skilled she was.
One day while I was in a bus to my work, i got a notification on my phone that said.
[Main scenario:0 The "Will of the weak" will start in a minute.]
Strangely enough, everyone in the bus got that notification at the same time.
"Huh? A game promotion? Thats a strange way to prmote a game…."
I thought to myself.
Oh how wrong I was, just after that. The entire reality was warped. Strange blue window appeared infront of me.
Just then I felt a sharp pain in my neck.
The blade finally snapped me back to realit. Before even feeling any pain with a single swift swing, my head was rolling on the ground.
***
A vibration in my pocket awoke me. My face was filled with cold sweat, I took hurried breaths one after another as I looked at my surroundings.
" A bus?…" I muttered under my breath. Suddenly a cold realization hit me.
"No way…" I though to my self pulling the phone out of my pocket to see the familiar notification.
[Main scenario:0 The "Start of the Eternal symphony" will start in a minute.]
The screen displayed.
"Wai- no way…." I looked at the window to see the familiar city, in the reflection of window I can see my paled face along with the blakc and white suit I usually wore to work.
"I…I was reborn?… no more like i was regressed…"
Ever since the apocalypse started I was useless in my previous life, with an F grade skill assigned to me which I couldn't even resd the name of as it was hidden with '???' In my personal window.
In fact, because I was so usless I died. I was average with a sword. Not outstanding, I wasn't good with magic either. My mana reserve wasn't suitable for me to be a mage.
I couldn't even become a support, i lacked the skills to be one.
A sudden hit of the Brakes woke me up to reality.
I knew what was going to happen. The blue window in front of me displayed the familiar message i saw in my last life
[Main scenario:0 The "Will of the weak" had started.
Clear condition: Kill one person.
Time limit: 30minute.
Failure: Death.]
…In my previous life I took up a glass shard and slit the throat of an elderly man sitting behind me.
But in this life things will be different. With a determined choice, I kicked the glass window of the bus breaking it. When everyone heard the noise and looked at me I picked up a glass shard from the broken window and charged at the man sitting on the back of the bus.
Andrew, one of the future 5 kings, he caused me quite the trouble in my last life It's best that I kill him right here.
Stepping in with my left footbin the front I stab the mans neck, or so I tried. Andrew stepped to the right barely avoiding the glads shard and threw a right counter at my jaw.
I knew he would throw that. Leaning back i allow the wild right to go past me simultaneously stepping to the left with my feet i plunged the glass shard into his neck. The blood painted the back of the bus red.
[You have have passed the main scenario.
Reward: 200 coins]
Looking at the window infornt of me I went to my profile and invested 200 coins into speed.
[Your agility has been increased slightly.]
[your stamina has been increased slightly.]
Everyone looked at the bloody scene with fear but then…
They knew they had to kill to survive and what better way to survive than kill a murder two of the guys standing at the front of the bus charge at me glass shard in hand.
I didn't see them in the last life because…
Suddenly the busses enterance explode and and monsters rushed in. Grade 5 Curropt beasts tear at the flesh of the people in the bus.
Cries of the people eruped throughout the bus as they were torn by the beasts
"AGHAHHH"
"HELP ME PLEASE HELP ME"
none of these guys would've made it far in the future scenarios anyways.
I also knew this would happen. Quickly kicking the bus window open I jumped through the open window and ran towards the train station kilometer away. I know Arthur is there. And i plan on killing him in this life.
