The First Dragon God

Ves didn't know for how long everything lasted but when she woke up, she saw herself lying on a bed.

She looked around the room, looking for Leo but couldn't find him. She pushed herself out of the bed and walked towards the door, and tried to open it but she saw that it was locked.

"Sigh... Did Leo lock me inside?" She smiled before walking back to the bed.

She slumped back onto the bed and started staring at the ceiling, deep in thought. She remembered everything that happened, how she lost herself and was trying to attack Leo.

She knew that if they were close to each and not separated by the walls of the building, she would had gotten to him and attacked him.

She was very happy that she didn't allow Leo to come with her then. She didn't know what she would had done if that had happened and she had attacked him. How would she be able to live with herself if she eventually regains control of her body?

Thinking of everything that has happened in the past two days, Ves felt extremely tired. She just wanted to sleep and wake up to the old world. Even though it was filled with the evil of men, it was better than what's going on now.

"Besides, it's not like the apocalypse wiped out everyone in the world, leaving only the two of us," she muttered to herself, as she stood up from the bed and went to the window.

"I wonder where Leo is?" She asked herself, looking out the window and watching the zombie horde outside.

...

Meanwhile, down the access hallway of the ninth floor , Leo was fighting a zombie. This zombie wasn't as weak and as low leveled as the other zombies he has fought.

Roar!

The zombie roared in rage and intimidation, with its malicious hunger filling the air, and creating a suffocating feeling.

Leo gripped the hilt of Nightshade tightly as he assessed the zombie in front of him. He has already has a few exchange with it and he knew that it was strong.

Not only that, the zombie is incredibly fast, too fast for Leo to follow with his eyes. He tried to follow its movement before he can always make it out, the zombie would had already appeared in front of him.

Leo didn't know what level the zombie is but he felt that it won't be beyond level 5. He felt that if it was anything beyond that, he would had already died with the first exchange he had with the zombie.

Actually, he knew that the only reason he's still alive right now is because the zombie isn't intelligent. If it was this strong and was like Ms Ves, there's no way he would still be around.

Roar!

The zombie's roar vibrated through the hallway, a guttural growl that almost sent chills down Leo's spine. Its claw tore through the air, a blur of death aimed at his face. Leo ducked, feeling the rush of displaced air graze his skin.

He took a couple of steps forward, equally closing the gaps between him and the zombie.

The moment he was close enough to the zombie, he gathered up every ounce of strength he could gather and slashed at its armpit.

The zombie didn't know what was happening as it saw one of its hand falling to the ground.

As a level 2 zombie, even though it's not intelligent, it knew just how strong it is and this was the reason why it was angry that the food in front it was resisting so strongly. And now, that same food has cut off one of its hand.

It roared in anger and was about to charge at Leo but the next it knew was its head spinning in the air and the constant voice in its head.

Leo saw the decapitated zombie fall to the ground with a loud thud and smiled.

[You have acquired Level 2 Normal Zombie Life Force.]

[You have reached Level 3. You have received three stat points.]

"Nice. It was worth it," Leo said, as he immediately distributed the free stat points he got.

There was no need for him to keep them. His main objective and the reason why he's hunting the zombies on the floor is because he wants to get stronger. If he should keep the free stat points, how is that helping his objective?

Leo added two stat points to his Strength and one to his Stamina. His logic was simple. Since his Agility is already at a total of 31 points, thanks to Nightshade, then he should quickly raised the two other physical stat to the same level.

After he was done distributing the stats, Leo felt his strength increase. His body felt lighter than before and his grip on Nightshade was firmer. The accumulated exhaustion he felt from hunting the zombies has also eased slightly.

Leo wanted to continue his zombie hunting but he was feeling very mentally exhausted at the moment. He had spent the past couple of hours hunting the zombies on the ninth floor and he has killed more zombies than he can count.

He looked around and saw the floor of the access hallway filled with the corpses of zombies he killed.

This was also the same for the apartments on the floor. Leo has hunted every single zombies on the floor and it was safe to say that the ninth floor was safe from zombies.

Leo smiled when he thought of this. He knew that major reason why he was able to kill all of them was because they were all level 1, with the last one being an exception.

"Time to get back to Ms Ves. I wonder if she's already awake and back to normal?" Leo asked himself as he started walking to the apartment where he left Ms Ves.

He opened the door of the apartment and walked in, and made his way to the room where Ms Ves was.

When he got to the door, he waited for moment, listening for the familiar sound of zombie growling or snarling, but after a few moments, he heard nothing.

Leo took a deep breath as he neared the door, every step cautious. He pushed it open slowly, expecting the worst—only to freeze in place, his brain short-circuiting at the sight before him.

Opening the door, he saw Ms Ves who looks like she just came out of the bathroom, from her wet hair, standing in middle of the room, almost naked with nothing but her panties.

"Ahhh!"

"Ahhh!"
