Chapter- 1: Hope & Uneasiness

Alone, weak, destroyed, and corrupted.

I can feel it, do you too?

Wake up, Ash! Wake up…

You hear a voice, but was it you?

If not, then who was it?

You get up from the ground with a pain in your head, like something was stabbed in your head.

You look around you, hoping to find a clue of what happened to you.

What you saw was worse than you could imagine.

Blood everywhere, body parts that have been bitten, slashed with horrifying cuts on them lying on the ground.

You try to take your sight away from the grossly bitten parts on the ground, but it’s a futile attempt, you can never forget it.

You try to remember,

where am I?

Why am I here?

Who did that?

Why is there blood everywhere?

But your mind fails you, you have no answer to it.

The only thing you remember is your name, Ash.

With only one path in front of you, you start walking, the street is full of blood.

With every step you see, you hear, you try to remember, why you are here. Are you here because of your sins?

You walk the bloody path with the look of hopelessness.

You are afraid, you couldn’t help it, you fell on the ground, saying, “is it a hallucination or my mind playing games with me”

You stay on the ground for a while, asking yourself the same questions…

Some time has passed…

You stand back up and continue to walk that path…

You reach the center of the city, where there are huge buildings around you, most are destroyed…

It feels like you are all alone,

No being in existence…

Then, you felt like there is something strange,

You felt as if suddenly something popped up behind you out of nowhere…

You slowly turn around; you see a hand on your shoulder…

You freak out and jump to the side.

You see a body standing in front of you,

A zombie?!

An undead?!

You don’t know, all you can tell by seeing it is...

This creature is not alive, it doesn’t have a soul, it’s like a puppet...

You are more terrified, why aren’t there any humans?

Why is there a creature like this here?

Am I in hell?

Or did the Apocalypse fall upon us?

The creature suddenly attacked you,

And without even thinking, you punched it with all your strength.

The creature was blown away,

Its head got smashed from the sheer force of your punch.

You are confused,

Was I always this strong?

what am I?

Why do I have so much strength?

Suddenly, you felt a sharp pain in your head,

You heard a voice,

Ash!

Sto... Now!

Don’t wast... time on weight lifting!

At least, spen... With your family!

You couldn’t hear the whole thing perfectly,

But you got some of your answers, with the addition of some new questions...

You ask yourself,

So, I used to do weight lifting, is my strength the result of that?

But even that isn’t enough to make me this strong, so who am I?

I had a family?

Then what happened to them?

Where are they?

Why am I all alone?

Was I abandoned?

Or

did they die?

These thoughts continued to haunt you the entire day,

The night started, you took shelter in an abandoned building, you still didn’t feel any hunger, this wasn’t normal,

You are more scared now,

Why am I not hungry?

Am I even human?

Or

is it that I have a high amount of stamina?

But, after getting back just a bit of your memory, you felt an urge,

An urge to keep living,

An urge to find the family,

An urge to know who you are.

With these newfound urges and desire,

your strength increased,

you are ready to face the dangers lurking outside.

The Dawn has finally arrived, sunlight piercing through every hole in the building,

Your fear hasn’t disappeared completely,

You stealthily went near the broken window, you checked the situation outside,

There wasn’t any being out there, neither dead nor alive.

You calmed down and started reviewing your strength just in case,

You punched the thick wall in front of you with all your might,

And guess what, your hand pierced through the wall, like a pen piercing through a paper.

All you could think of is...

It's not just your strength, even the speed of your punch, the sharpness created with your jab, everything related to you is too mysterious,

How can one be this powerful?

even a drill can’t force its way through the wall with this speed.

You are amazed by your newfound power,

and suddenly you hear a loud noise outside, it was a sound you remember,

A sound you grew up hearing to,

You went out to check what it is,

As this could be helpful for you, this might be a clue to find your family...

You saw a human standing outside, he had an object in his hand, it was neither a sharp object that could pierce through once skin nor a blunt object that could be used to smash something,

This object felt familiar, you tried to stealthily go near that man and see that object up-close,

It's hard to describe it, it has a small tunnel in front of it, from which something comes out,

You stood there for a while, and decided to steal it, and see what it is for yourself,

But you didn’t want to kill this man, as he was the first living breathing being you saw, since waking up in this unknown land,

You jumped at him from behind, making him fall to the ground, you grabbed the object in his hand, and tried running away...

That person shouted at you,

Mother F**ker give back my gun!

Don't you dare run away, I, Joseph, will find you one day, and when I do, you are gonna F**king regret it!

You heard those words loud and clear,

From those words, what you found out was, this small object is called a gun, and that person you attacked just now is called Joseph.

You asked yourself,

Should I run away or should I go back and ask for forgiveness?

Will he forgive me or not?

You decided to go back and confront him,

He was confused and asked you,

Why are you back?

You asked him for forgiveness and returned that thing called a gun to him...

He understood that you meant no harm, and you both started talking to each other,

This is how the conversation started,

Ash- I'm truly sorry, I didn’t mean any harm, it just felt like, I had some connection with this object you call a gun...

Joseph- what do you mean by an object, do you not know what a gun is? Hey bro, which world were you living in? It's 2050 now, the first gun ever recorded was in 1364, and by 2020 the guns became so normal that even a small kid could say what it is, and you are telling me that you don’t know what a gun is?

Ash- calm down, it’s not my fault that I don’t know about this stuff alright, you can’t just start giving me a lecture on this object... I mean gun.  the thing is, I lost all my memories, I woke up in this unknown land yesterday, and all I knew was my name. Though sometimes bits of my memory come back, but all I know till now is, I once had a family and my name is Ash.

Joseph- oh, hello Ash, nice way of introducing yourself...

Ash- don't you dare get on my nerves; I hate it...

Joseph- I... was just joking, nothing serious...

Ash- it is serious for me, now, tell me, do you know why there aren’t any humans here, and why those strange creatures are roaming around...?

Joseph- those creatures are the humans you were searching for, though in a different form, hehe...

Ash- are you f**king kidding me?

Joseph- not really, most humans died and turned into undead, we call them zombies, this all started a year ago,

It was 13th of June, 2049... on that fateful day, the skies turned black, a hole appeared above us, with a warning from a god,

You, puny humans, you dared to destroy the nature I created, brought species which I loved to extinction, you have hatred for all kinds including your own, you don’t have faith in your own blood, you act tough in front of weak, and become a coward in front of strong, you kill the weak and worship the strong, you forget about me in your good times, during your success, but, you blame me for your failures, you are a being which is better dead than alive!

Then, many such holes appeared all around the world, a crimson rain started pouring down the holes, those who got soaked in it started to change, they were the first, the pure undead (the 1st Gen).

And they have a unique power, those who get bitten by them will turn into undead, but the purity decreases depending on which generation it is...

If a 1st Gen bites a human, then the human turns into the 2nd Gen, and those bitten by the 2nd Gen turns into 3rd Gen, and the list goes on...

But these creatures were made different than humans, they will never harm their kind, they forever follow the command given to them by the demon, they are the perfect creation,

Seeing that, the human scientists couldn’t hold themselves back and started experimenting on some of these creatures, and like always, though they found a lot about these creatures, they made a big mistake, they used a human’s brain to create undead and ended up creating something, which, shouldn’t exist. These beings were neither created by Gods nor by Demons, these beings were created by the scum, known as Humans...

They had a common goal to that of an Undead and had a brain of a human, this intelligent being was the first of its kind, which soon created many of their kind and started calling themselves as Sub-Demons, as they were born from the power of the demons, and got the brain of a human.

Ash- Alright, I get it, now stop blabbering...

Joseph- what did you understand?

Ash- that, this is Apocalypse.., and this could be the end of humanity.

Joseph- no, you fool, this is the beginning of a New Era, and we humans, using these sub-demons, will evolve, we will reach godhood, we will become the greatest race...

Ash- and how will you achieve that, do you have a plan?

Joseph- yes, I do, I just need to kill and consume the flesh of a living human, the sub-demons said, if a person, consumes the flesh of 5 living breathing humans, then, he’ll evolve into a sub- demon, and I've already killed 4 humans, including my mother, father, wife, and cute little daughter.., hehehe...

Ash- what do you mean? How could you do that? Are you insane?

Joseph- you wanted to meet your family, right? You were searching for them and yourself, were you not?

Ash- yes, I was, why do you ask?

Joseph- I can help you find them, what do you say?

Ash- really?! I'll be grateful to you for my entire life, I'm willing to do anything you ask of me, even if it costs me my life.

Joseph- I'm sure they’re dead, and even if they’re not, they’ll still die very soon, so why don’t you go meet them in the afterlife?

Ash- I don’t like your jokes, so stop with those, or I might end your life, here and now.

Joseph- I've been urging to feast upon that delicious flesh of humans for a while now, but I couldn’t do that in the survivor's camp, or they would have killed me, and finally, I found you, my final sacrifice...

Ash- stop with your jokes, and tell me about the survival camp...

Joseph- I am not joking, and I don’t want to waste my time telling you all this, at the end of the day, you are fated to be my final meal before my evolution.

{Joseph points the gun against you, with a scary smile}

Ash- thanks for the info, my friend, I'll be sure to never forget you.

BOOM!

Ash smashed his face on the wall of the building’s wall, blood spilled everywhere, but he doesn’t regret it, as he had made up his mind to find his family, he didn’t accept it when Joseph told him that his family might already be dead.

Ash searched through Joseph’s clothes; he didn’t find any information related to the survivor’s camp...

He couldn’t help it, he didn’t know how to read or write, this entire thing was confusing for him. he decided, not to wait and to start the search for the survivors, as that was the only clue for him to find his family now...

--------------------------------------------------

Common Questions...,

Who was Ash?

Why was Ash here?

Why did Joseph not kill Ash beforehand?

How did Ash turn from someone with a good heart to someone cold-hearted?

Who was it at the beginning of the chapter? Was it his family member, was it he himself, or was it Yami?

Characters Revealed till now...

Yami – One of the Gods of this world, The God of Darkness and Despair.

Ash – All we know about him is that he has lost all his memories, he thinks that he is a human, but his strength says otherwise, he doesn’t know anything about the modern weapon and all, he has some basic knowledge on the function of human bodies and has some basic info on those large structures call buildings, he doesn’t know why that is, he has only one goal for now, and that is to find his family, as he wants to search for his true self, he wants to discover who he is...

Joseph – He is the first human Ash has seen since entering this unknown land, and to be clear, Joseph was actually a human, cause, unlike humans, most other species would never dare to hurt their own kind, at least their own blood, but this cannibal ate his daughter, wife, and parents...

Race Undiscovered till now...

Humans – the scum of the society, the most innocent and cruel creatures in existence. The god of Sub-Demons, The Creator of Sub-Demons.

Gods – The creator of all creatures, except for the undead and Sub-Demons, it created and abandoned many creatures to see their evolution, and when the creatures started to become disbelievers, he got angry and allowed the demons to interfere with the world of Humans.

Demons – the beings of chaos, the creators of Undead, unlike humans who cause chaos everywhere including in their own race, the demons are different, they follow the rules perfectly, and enjoy the despair and anxiety and many of these feelings of other races, they are a uniform race which protects their own kin, and kill all the other races. Unlike humans who have advanced in science, the Demons have advanced in the usage of Magic and curse.

Undead – These are the Creations of Demons, though they don’t have intelligence, they are the perfect beings ever created till that point in time, as... soon, the ultimate creature, the perfect being, the absolute race the Sub-Demons came into existence.

Sub-Demons – What else to say about these beings, they’re just perfect, unlike their creators, they are the polar opposite of humans.

Summary of the Previous chapter:

Ash, woke up in an unknown land, lost, lonely, hopeless, desperate. He doesn’t have any memories, the only thing he remembers is, his name is Ash, but later on when he fought a creature, which is known as Undead, he realized he was too strong compared to normal humans, he couldn’t understand why he had such strength, and suddenly some particles of his memory came back, and he found something extremely important, and that is, he had a family, now his goal is to find the family who wasn’t with him, he wants to confront them why they left him, and who was he, what truly is he, and many questions of the sort.

--------------------------------------------

Chapter- 2: Who is O’Neill?

Ash continued the search for Survivors Camp, and after not finding any human in the city, he saw a route leading to a hill behind the city, he started walking on that path and heard a sound, similar to that of the weapon called a gun.

He felt like he finally found the location of the survivors' camp. He followed the sound and saw 2 humans and 3 undead similar to the one he had smashed, one of the two humans had a gun in hand, and the other was seriously injured.

Ash thought to himself,

will these humans be the same as Joseph?

will he sacrifice the other guy for his own safety?

Are all the humans, scum now?

He, felt like he should first observe and see how it goes,

He saw that the guy with the gun, didn’t leave the injured man, but instead, fought the undead, and tried to distract them and make a safe path for the injured man to escape, and the injured man didn’t run, he tried to distract the one’s behind the guy with the gun. They talked to each other while they fought for their lives...

Injured person – Arsh, run! Don't wait for a dead weight like me, I am just a good for nothing... brother, please don’t waste your time, I don’t want to see my big brother dying because of me...

Arsh – Just shut up! How dare you teach right and wrong to your elder brother, you are just a kid, you don’t know what it takes to leave alone, you don’t know how cruel this world is to strangers, I'd rather die protecting you, than, to run away and live my life alone...

Injured person – why! Why are you trying to be so caring now, you were never there when I needed you back in the days, I always hated you, and I know better than you what it means to be alone, just leave me!

Arsh – I promised mother to never let anything happen to you, as long as I live! And I hate breaking a promise that I made to here.

Injured person – huh! And here I thought I was the only idiot in our family, I promise you if we survive this battle, then, I’ll be sure to take my revenge!

Arsh – nice one mike, you can still joke when you already know we’re gonna die today...

{Both Laughs loudly while facing the life-threatening battle}

Once again, you felt a sharp pain in your head, and this time it was more severe,

You heard some voice,

Sibling – Brother, please help me, those boys in my class bullied me again...

Mother – you idiot, what kind of brother are you, can’t even protect your little sister.

Sister – hehe, it was fun, I got back at you, if you don’t keep your promise the next time, I'll be sure to ask pops to punish you...

Father – hmm, so you’ll make me punish my son, just because he didn’t keep his promise?

Ash – dad, let it go, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have made a promise like that...

Mom – Ash, promise me, no matter what, you’ll always protect your sister, even when you come face to face with death...

Ash – sure mom, this little thing belongs to me, I won’t let anyone hurt her, only I am allowed to tease her...

{the voice stops coming}

You realized that you had a happy family. so surely, they wouldn’t abandon you no matter what,

Then, why is it, that you were alone?

You decided that it’s not the right time to think for the reason, I don’t know where my family is, but what I know is, I can help another big brother to save his younger sibling...

You joined the fight, and it was over in no time, you single-handedly smashed 2 1st Gen Undeads, and Arsh cleaned up the last one, thanks to your help.

Arsh came to you to thank you,

Arsh – thanks a lot bro, I can’t express how blessed I feel to live another day with my brother, I... I thought... we were gonna die...

Ash – don't cry, I don’t like it, you were so tough just a moment ago, why are you acting like a weak little girl...

Arsh – sorry, I got emotional again, that was the first time I ever fought something, like... I am a scaredy-cat.

Ash – Alright, leave the stories for later, now, tell me, do you know where the survivor’s camp is?

Arsh – I do, let me lead the way, but first, can you stay here with my brother, I'll bring a wheelchair to carry him, I am not strong enough to carry him on my back...

Ash – just be straight, I know you want me to carry him, that’s why you are describing it with so much detail...

Arsh – hehe, sorry...

Mike – hey, there’s an injured person here, stop talking and help me get up!

Ash – you! Alright, then don’t mind me!

{ash grabbed his legs and arms, and lift him, and placed him on his shoulders like a rice bag}

Mike – Hey! Hey! Put me down! I’m scared! Don't you know how to treat an injured person?!

Ash – no, I don’t, I lost all my memories, so I don’t know what you mean, and because you're not so heavy, I feel more comfortable to carry you like this...

Mike – like hell I care about your memories, put me down or else...

{Ash got irritated and stared at him, mike felt chills going down his spine, from fear}

Ash – or else, what or else? What will you do?

Mike – I... I'll cry!!

{Arsh couldn’t take it any longer, and started laughing loudly}

Arsh – alright, jokes aside, you can think of him as just useless luggage, and carry him however you want.

Mike – thing?! What about that promise you were talking about? Was it all fake?

Arsh – I made a promise to protect you from danger, I never promised that I won’t let you feel pain ever... did I?

Mike – how could you? I thought you finally turned into a good big brother...

{They both laughed, but ash couldn’t take it}

Ash – Don't irritate me! Take me to the camp, or you die, I am not in the mood to joke, you get it?

Arsh – alright, follow me.

{Arsh started walking down the path on the other side of the hill}

Ash – how many survivors are there excluding us?

Arsh – there are 12, and only 8 of which, are capable of fighting because my brother is injured now...

Mike – thanks to me, the best fighter among all 13 of us, we were able to find an abandoned building, which is hidden deep in the forest, there is barely one or two 3rd Gen undead are present in there and we have enough food to last us a year in the building.

Ash – food?

Mike – so, even Mr. Hulk can’t escape the temptation of food, hmm...

Ash – Hulk? What does it mean? Well, it doesn’t matter..., from what you told me, it’s supposed to be 14 survivors, not 13, were you telling lies?

Arsh – Actually, we were only 13 in the beginning, but there was another guy, who found that place before we did, so we accepted, and joined his team. And now we’re 14 people, he’s an extremely good sniper.

Ash – What's a sniper?

Arsh – it's useless for you to know, there’s no need for you to think about it, I guess, you can even fight, face to face with those sub-demons if you are barehanded.

Ash – Alright, take me there...

Arsh – sure, we’ll be there soon, do you have any more questions?

Ash – I do. I heard from someone that, the human scientists researched the undead, and found some useful info on them..., what did they find? And is there any scientist alive?

Arsh – all the scientists are dead, and the information they found was, these undead are not the same as humans, even though they were Humans at first. Yes, they do have some similar weak points, like their joints, but unlike humans who’ll be unable to fight if something like that happens to them, these creatures are different, they don’t feel pain, even if you cut their body parts, they can still fight, and because of the sub-demons, the undead can work in proper unity even without having a brain. But the best discovery is, both the Undead and the sub-demon have a common weak point, and, it’s their head, if you smash its head open, or slash their neck and behead them, then they die, the same as humans...

Ash – I didn’t get the whole thing, but, if I'm not wrong, I just have to blast their heads with my strength, right?

Arsh – Perfect!! {Feels Awkward}.

{soon, a large building cam insight, it was deep in the forest, but we could see a path going to the city from there, but it seems it’s dangerous because there are too many Undead there...}

Arsh – we have reached the base, we have some blunt and sharp weapons stored in there, so, after you are done eating, come and check them out.

Ash – sure, let’s see if you have anything stronger than my fist.

Arsh – sure, let’s see, we have a baby, that’s super heavy, nobody can even lift it... if you can, then, it’s yours...

Ash – this gets me exciting, though, what kind of weapon is it, is it something like that gun or what?

Arsh – it's a super heavy sledgehammer.

Ash – Sledgehammer? What's that? What's a hammer?

Arsh – Just wait and see...

Ash – alright.

Arsh went inside and told the other survivors about Ash and his strength, and about him losing all his memories, like, almost everything.

Later that day, he went to see the sledgehammer with Arsh, according to Arsh, after the appearance of the undead, many minerals, resources, and metals started appearing on the surface, even the rarest like Francium, Tanzanite, and Astatine became common. Even Titanium and Tungsten became a cheap product, that could be found almost anywhere. In just 2 years, the world developed at a drastic pace.

This Sledge Hammer was made with Tungsten, its weight was almost 60KG, that’s 132.3 pounds(lbs.). Though it was made for Humanity’s soon to be slaves, the new species, Sub-Demon, But... Neither Humans nor Sub-Demons could lift it, and it was deemed useless.

Ash – Arsh... I don’t even remember the names of my family members, I barely found out about that thing called Gun, and now, you started lecturing me on some shit called metal and all, I don’t understand any of that stuff, everything is new to me...

Arsh – sorry, I forgot that you are similar to those undead in a way, neither you nor them, knows much about this world...

Ash – the next time you give a speech like this, I'll be sure to smash that head of yours with that same hammer you were blabbering about. I don’t care about the info...

Arsh – hey! Why are you being rude to me, I never wanted to give a speech, if I so wanted, then I could have stood up for presidency, you think I'm an idiot? Even if you do, please don’t say yes.

Ash – well, that’s true. And... you really are an idiot.

{Arsh Chuckles and continues..}

Arsh – Jokes aside, let me show you the Hammer.

{They enter the room where weapons were stored}

Ash – Woah! What's that?

Arsh – though the hammer was made for the Sub-Demons, it was inspired by the Mjölnir, thanks to the useless craze of those cosplayers...

Ash – I don’t know what that is, but it sure looks great.

Arsh – you were acting tough just now, why not try to lift it?

Ash – sure.

Ash tried to lift it, but it was too difficult to stand stably on the ground. It took him over an hour just to get his body stable, but, after that, it was as if the hammer was part of his body.

 The night came, it was full of darkness, it felt Ominous, felt like something bad was gonna happen...

Arsh couldn't fall asleep and go to Ash's room...

Arsh – Hey, Ash... are you still awake?

Ash – Yes... Do you need anything?

Arsh – Well, I was a little afraid, and wanted to talk to someone... my brother and the rest of them are all already asleep, so I was just checking, if you are awake or not...

Ash – Sure, we can talk... either way I wanted to ask you more about this world, like those weapons and these creatures, I want to know it all...

Arsh – welp, that's easy for me... but, don't you dare start getting angry at me like you did when I was telling you about the metals, hammer, and all that stuff...

Ash – Argh! Alright, but keep it simple, I can't understand all that stuff, it's too confusing...

Arsh – why are you so eager to find out? you can get all this with time... why do you want me to explain everything to you so fast...?

Ash – Because... I thought, if I find out more about this world, my memories might trigger, and I might find a clue about my parents, my family... I wanna know, who I am... what I am... So please, please... make it simple and help me out with this...

{Ash and Arsh talked all night, and Ash understood most of it, like vehicles, rich and poor, the strength of Undeads based on their Generation, and couldn't understand stuff related to science and machinery, things like metals and all}

The next day, there was a loud noise coming from outside, all the survivors were scared and confused.

Ash asked them what it was and why they were so scared. They told him that it was a truck, a vehicle, which was used for carrying heavy materials from one place to another, it was used by the poorest people, it is an object used for traveling and transportation.

Ash – Why is everyone so scared instead of being happy?

Mike – that’s because, trucks have become more or less useless in this day and age, there is no fuel, so it's impossible to refill and use it. The Sub-Demons have occupied almost the entire planet, and all the fuel, oil resources are under them.

Ash – then, do you think those are Sub-Demons?

Arsh – actually, no. Because the Sub-Demons are more intelligent than most Humans and don't need to be scared of anything, they like to watch from the sidelines as one human kills another, they are similar to Demons, who enjoy seeing other Races in Despair, these Sub-Demons worship the God, Yami.

Ash – then, what’s the problem?

Mike – thought they might not be Sub-Demons, they could still be super rich humans, those rich bastards have enough weapons to stand against the Sub-Demons, but that won’t be the case for long, and even they know, that the end of Humanity is near, so... they stopped wasting their time thinking ways to defeat or escape from Sub-Demons and started enjoying their lavish lives, by enslaving the commoners, enjoying themselves as much as possible.

Arsh – it's not Sub-Demons that are dangerous, it’s actually Humans. They are selfish scum by nature, but some of them get a good upbringing, making them the other way around. Humans, if I say, are the most innocent and chaotic beings in existence.

Ash – though I didn’t understand the whole thing, I still liked those words...

Mike – that's true, brother could become a famous leader if he was born a Sub-Demon, he understands the mentality and the way of life of every creature, his mind is sharp, but because of his timid personality, he’s just useless.

Ash – so, what should I do with this human scum?

Mike – I don’t know, we can’t fight them, it’s better to surrender...

Ash – no, there’s a better plan, I'll beat him up, and go meet his leader, and if possible, I'll free all those humans he captured.

Arsh – no, I can’t let you, that’s dangerous.

Mike – brother, let him go, he is powerful enough to fight one-on-one with a Sub-Demon, and with the addition of that hammer, he’s invincible.

Ash – that's right, I can easily win, and if not, I can still escape.

Arsh – please be safe, your life is more important than our safety because you are the only human capable of standing against the Sub-Demons.

Ash – sure.

Ash went outside, when that guy saw ash with the hammer, he tried to escape. But Ash was fast enough to capture him. Ash grabbed his neck, making it hard for him to breathe...

Ash – hey, who the hell are you? Why are you at my base?

Slave – I.. I.. a.. am, unable to...

{Ash released his grip and tied him with a rope he got from Arsh}

Ash – So, why are you here? What do you want?

Slave – I came here on the order of my boss, O’Neill. He told me that you would arrive here by yesterday or today, and I had to pick you up from here and take you to the Stadium, where his base is located.

Ash – Did he tell you my name?

Slave – Yes, he said, 'a man named Ash, will arrive at the survivor camp in a day or two, you have to go there and bring him here to me'.

Ash – how? How did he know my name? Who is he?

Slave – I don’t know, all I know is, I am supposed to take you there, you can tell your survivor friends before leaving...

Ash – You!

Ash grabbed his neck, lift him in the air, and threw him inside the building. Ash explained the situation to everyone. No one knew who O’Neill is.

Slave – the hell is wrong with you rich people?! First, you make me run errands, then start beating me up as if I'm not a human, I'm not your plaything, I wouldn’t have talked to you politely if not for that bastard capturing all the poor people and using them as slaves, you and that rich friend of yours are the same, if I disobey, they’ll be punished, it’s always like this, we suffer because of rich, humans sure are scum by nature, the god should have destroyed us all that day.

{Ash realized that he was no different from Joseph, as time passed by, he started enjoying power, to the point he didn’t differentiate a human and an undead}.

Ash – I'm sorry, so please take me to your boss...

Slave – heh, don’t act. I know you are no different, you have your own selfish desires...

Ash – Just take me to your boss! Don’t make me repeat myself!!

Slave – sure.

He just found out that he had a little sister, a father, and a mother, as part of the family, it was a happy family of 4.

Joseph – He is the first human Ash has seen since entering this unknown land, and to be clear, Joseph was actually a human, cause, unlike humans, most other species would never dare to hurt their own kind, at least their own blood, but this cannibal ate his daughter, wife, and parents...

Arsh – He is the elder brother of Mike, he is a nerd, without any fighting experience, he’s good with words, and has too much knowledge which is dangerous for a meathead like Ash.
