+500 horror points!

Ehh?

Leo stared strangely at the frightened pale face of the man on the floor, confused about how they easily frightened...

"Are you okay?" Breaking the silence between them as he scratched the back of his head, Leo asked worriedly, thinking if this man's head suffered from falling yesterday.

"Huff~ Yes, and... you are?"

The man upon seeing that it was a human being, immediately heaved a sigh of relief...

Before his face turned slightly red after a while, feeling embarrassed due to his action earlier.

"Leo, the current owner of this place... and you are?"

"Jerome and the one on the bed is Carlos." The man said as he smiled weakly.

...

Soon, probably due to the earlier outburst of the man, the other unconscious man also woke up, holding his head in slight pain as the event yesterday kept replaying inside his mind...

Causing him to shiver weakly from fright as he immediately scanned the environment suspiciously, only for him to heave a sigh of relief upon seeing his friend fine without a hint of wounds over his body as he was talking to a stranger.

Wait, this...

As he was about to retract his gaze, the man's eyes instantly revealed a deep sense of fear as he saw the stranger's gray bland eyes, remembering the figure yesterday... Covered in thick fog within the darkness as it stared at them emotionless.

"You two should be hungry, It's perfect since I'm currently roasting meat," Leo said before excusing himself upon seeing the afraid expression of the man in the bed, not wanting to further disturb the two. Your next chapter is on m v|l--NovelBin.net

"Your wound still not completely healed?"

Seeing that the expression of Carlos seems off. Jerome couldn't help but ask worriedly, remembering that Carlos seemed to suffer more injuries yesterday compared to him.

"Who is that?" The man didn't reply, instead, he asked him about the stranger earlier.

"This... he said he was Leo, the current owner of this place," Jerome repeated what Leo said earlier, also quite confused and suspicious... However, he didn't think too much about it since his stomach just issued a hungry growl.

Growl...

"Let's go, I remembered that we still hadn't eaten since yesterday."

Stepping outside the room, feeling quite annoyed due to the creaking sound of the wooden floor, Jerome silently scanned the interior of the house as he descended the stairs... Quite surprised upon noticing that this place appeared extremely old.

With the abilities of humans after the apocalypse, it was an easy feat to create a stone house by inviting an "Earth Master" or humans with "Carpenter" as their class job...

However, why would the owner not renovate this house?

"Sigh, I suddenly felt that I suddenly went back to the time when the apocalypse had yet to descend."

Jerome weakly smiled upon remembering those old and peaceful days when his only worry was to earn money...

Shaking his head Jerome unhurriedly stepped outside the wooden house, quite curious about where they were.

This...

In an instant, a chilling breeze swept and enveloped his body as he stared at the countless niches encircling the lonely house...

Epitaph from an unknown age greeted his eyes, as the gray stone (tomb) formed a strange sight... Below, he could see vibrant green yet lifeless grass enveloping the ground followed by an unknown maroon flower that swayed lively above those graves...

"Don't tell me, it's not a dream!?"

Jerome suddenly felt like he was about to puke upon remembering the disgusting sight yesterday... he felt that something was wriggling inside his stomach as the scene yesterday replayed inside his mind.

"Carlos, the thing yesterday... Is it not a dream?"

Jerome asks with a trembling voice as he forces himself not to puke. Closing his eyes as he deeply breathes the morning air to forcefully calm his shaking stomach.

"Yes."

Carlos replied in one word before moving toward the distance, where thick smoke could be seen moving above the horizon.

Although he felt wary toward Leo and also quite sure that the silhouette he saw yesterday was him... His reasoning told him that Leo didn't mean harm and it was just his wild imagination from yesterday night that scarred him unconsciously.

"Maybe it's due to the exhaustion and tension from escaping the beasts, causing me to hallucinate yesterday... How could there be a ghost?'

Although a lot of things change after the apocalypse, he still hasn't met a single ghost after countless months, making him assume that ghosts don't exist in this current time.

Moreover, even if there were ghosts in this world, with the appearance of inhuman abilities, powers, and skills who would still feel and be afraid of them?

Shaking his head with a wry smile, burying these unnecessary thoughts in the back of his head. Carlos advances within the cemetery as he soon arrives at the location where Leo can be seen roasting meats.

This...

His heart suddenly skipped a beat as he saw that beyond Leo... He could see two holes with considerable depths enough for coffins (for an adult) to fit beneath/below perfectly.

"These two pit?" Carlos asks with a nervous smile, still feeling an instinctive fear within him.

"Yes, I just dug those two pits yesterday..."

Leo replied unconsciously, not thinking/pondering too much about the question as he was too focused on cooking.

...

Yesterday, we also arrived yesterday... What a coincidence...

The corner of his lips twitched violently as he slightly moved away from Leo, not knowing whether Leo was teasing him or not.

"Done! Sorry for the wait!" Leo smiled brightly before passing the roasted meat to Carlos and Jerome.

***

Soon, in an instant, after eating, the two men immediately bid farewell to Leo upon asking for the direction of the town.

It's unknown to him why, but Leo could feel that they were inexplicable avoiding him.

Waving his hand as he stared at the retreating silhouettes in the distance.

Leo shook his head with a smile, not a bit curious or angry as he moved toward the distance where he left the two silver skeletons.
