<survival>"alright."</survival>

<survival>I stood up, and moved forward with the flail in hand. From there on, I followed the path on the ground past the zombie corpses laying in defeat.</survival>

<survival>It really was a survival combat.</survival>

<survival>Just how many am I supposed to take care of… Regardless, I couldn't stand still in that very place. I was told I'd be given 1 point for each kill. That means, I have to kill as many as possible in order to gain points to purchase good weaponry, armory, and possibly, learn new skills.</survival>

<survival>I must fight. I must only keep moving forward.</survival>

<survival>When I start falling behind… I'll end up just like them.</survival>

<survival>"eugh… life sure has a funny way of going about things."</survival>

<survival>That reminds me, I should be worried on how I'm going to support my life. Can I make some money with the points I earn? What can I do when I can't take any of this money to the real world.</survival>

<survival>let's search something. At this rate, I shouldn't have any problems clearing the upcoming battles as well.</survival>

<survival>With the light shining from the helmet through applying Divine Power to it, I kept on moving forward before I began hearing "kuahh" in the dark.</survival>

<survival>I've already gotten used to fighting them so hearing them didn't bother me anymore. It was a good decision to learn Lyfedearc's Mastery.</survival>

<survival>Feeling proud, I kept walking. The trees around me grew in a direction that didn't sprout upwards, but in a shape that got in my way.</survival>

<survival>Shhhrak!</survival>

<survival>I smashed their heads in when they got close enough. This time the zombies were still twitching. Maybe it's because I didn't use Divine Power on the flail.</survival>

<survival>Paaht.</survival>

<survival>The light in my helmet dimmed, as my flail began to shine. When I struck down on their head, a spark catches in the crack and takes them down.</survival>

<survival>A blue spark ignited before going out completely. Considering how this blue flame doesn't light the gra.s.s on fire, this thing isn't like anything else.</survival>

<survival>So, all I have to do is take them down like this? I walked as much as I could before I stopped in my tracks. A survival combat… I wonder if I'm supposed to take care of all the zombies in this forest? Or, Am I supposed to stay alive? Could there be a more… effective way to kill them?</survival>

<survival>I thought to myself for a brief moment. A more effect way to kill off the zombies…</survival>

<survival>It was when I was thinking to myself when I heard something.</survival>

<survival>"kyahhk!"</survival>

<survival>is a "girl's scream?"</survival>

<survival>I turned my head towards the direction where the scream came from, and began moving with the flail in my hand.</survival>

<survival>Is there someone else who was dragged to this place?</survival>

<survival>"Yeah, if it's only a zombie…"</survival>

<survival>I began running towards the scream.</survival>

<survival>My body was heavy with all the hockey gear, but it felt good. As I ran towards where the scream came from, I noticed a light shining.</survival>

<survival>An orange-red fire was burning through a tree in the dark.</survival>

<survival>This could only mean that there was a monster who could use fires, or it was lit by someone who screamed earlier…</survival>

<survival>As I was thinking to check it out…"kuahhh."</survival>

<survival>Five corpses appeared from the shadows, making their ways towards me.</survival>

<survival>"Zombies…"</survival>

<survival>Do they plan on keep coming at me until I'm dead? Their clothes looked raggedy. Not of something modern, and looked really cheap.</survival>

<survival>There was a zombie that was wearing an armor made of worn, broken-down leather, and a zombie wearing an iron helm.</survival>

<survival>Some zombies had knives or axes on their harness, but it looked like they weren't interested in using them. They only kept coming with their arms out to me.</survival>

<survival>Just where are these zombies coming from?</survival>

<survival>shhhhhhhhh.</survival>

<survival>Pahhht.</survival>

<survival>I applied the Divine Power into the flail. I felt something flowing out of my body, but I kept walking forward so I could struck their heads as hard I could.</survival>

<survival>Swhhek!</survival>

<survival>Puhhk!</survival>

<survival>One zombie's head cracked open in an instant. That wasn't all. A blue spark was ignited in the cracked part of the head with a black smoke coming from it.</survival>

<survival>The smoke smelled of rotten flesh burning. It was a smoke that gave me a bad feeling.</survival>

<survival>I like the fact that their weakness is their head. They're slow and not-so strong. I even like the fact that they're weak against the Divine Power.</survival>

<survival>I stood back as I struck down on their head with my flail. Before I knew it, five corpses laid at my feet.</survival>

<survival>They won't move again.</survival>

<survival>I moved my focus from the corpses, and began to move forward again. The light was coming in closer. About 6 trees were lit on fire. There was a strong heat coming from it.</survival>

<survival>On the round, near the fire, I spotted a tired, pale woman with her palms out. She was wearing a school uniform.</survival>

<survival>I approached the fire trying to get closer to the girl who was rather too pale, shocked, and surrounded by fire. Not too far off, I saw a zombie walking towards her.</survival>

<survival>"D, don't come any closer. pant. pant."</survival>

<survival>Is… that a student?</survival>

<survival>A cute-looking girl with a short haircut and sharp-looking eyes was standing there. She was cute enough to be taken as a celebrity with her looks and appearance. She stood still with her palms exposed.</survival>

<survival>Hwahhhk! It was as if a flame thrower was right in front of me.</survival>

<survival>Tchhh.</survival>

<survival>The flames got on the zombies. I saw them shake to the fire, then falling on the ground.</survival>

<survival>That's amazing. What is that?</survival>

<survival>But I could see the weakness in the attack. Is it a skill that's used by consumes stamina?</survival>

<survival>I could see the student sitting on the ground, breathing rather hard. It really must be…draining for her to use that attack.</survival>

<survival>Must be different from mine.</survival>
