RE:BORN Zombie

Chapter 143 A New Era I

[From here on, everything will be in a form of summary]

“So I ended up dying either way..” Victor said, as he woke up in a completely different place from where he was moments ago from his perspective.

It was no big deal as he hadn’t lost any of his strength, which was one good trait this title granted. Normally there was a price for this kind of nature defying skill, but in his case he could bypass it. Victor actually had his own theory for this, as it would make sense if what was exchanged was his life force or something similar, but seeing as he didn’t have any actual ‘life force’…

With his skills back and everything back to normal for the most part, Victor opened his system panel to look at his stats, but then he was hit with an error.

‘Did that fucker not die?’ He thought to himself, but this time around it was different.

The system went silent in the middle of giving Victor a message, and that was it.

Suddenly, as if following a queue, a strange energe energy hit Victor as the wave of said energy swept by. It was exactly the way the gate that led to the vampire world hit, and this gave Victor a thought.

Currently, the vampire gate was still open, and to his knowledge the human side were yet to breach it, but then another titan of a gate had appeared. He didn’t need to see it to know it’s size, as the wave of energy was even stronger than the time the vampires’ appeared.

He quickly teleported towards one of his marks that was close to the Under Current as for some reason he couldn’t feel the ones within the massive building. On getting there, to his amusement, the entire mountain the secret base was in had vanished without trace, and there was grass growing on the land like the base was never there. Victor thought they had upped their security parameters, so he walked towards the grass, but it really was actual grass, and there was no restriction. With his system not responding, he couldn’t use the map function, so he had to go off his instincts and self observation.

He went home, and there he found that it was still there, his house, and Werzelya was still around after he went looking for her, but something was strange with both his and Werzelya’s house, everybody was asleep, and nothing he did could wake them up, not even burning their flesh woke them up, but the vampires still healed like normal.

From there, Victor went to the city, City G, to see the situation over there. Crow and his people took a big hit, so they were out of commission for a while. City G however was also asleep.

From then onward, unexplainable things started happening that Victor just couldn’t understand, like large sections of the city disappearing before his eyes and being replaced by a river that didn’t flow out after hitting the end even though the was no route for it to continue flowing, but it continued, even though that was impossible.

After a while, what seemed to be a tremor hit the earth that he stood on, and the area of effect was also large as far as the eyes could see. The force of this threw Victor into the air, but then he didn’t return back to the earth and his body remained suspended in air after he must have travelled a distance upwards. It felt like his brain had been ringed, and his self stretched out of his body.

From there on, it felt to Victor like he was in a trance state and couldn’t quite understand what was happening around him.

It must have felt like an eternity, but at the same time a few moments to Victor as he just existed within the world that seemed to be undergoing something completely unexplainable.

When he came to, he found himself lying down on a grass field that spread several miles apart, so much so that he couldn’t make out where the end was. He also had no ability to fly, so there was that, he would have to make it out of there by foot or luckily, through teleportation.

At first, Victor couldn’t quite remember something, but some moments later the memories of all that happened flowed into him, and suddenly he was on guard, for no reason really.

Firstly, he checked his system to see if it was working as normal, or it was still jammed. Surprisingly, what greeted him was a system panel he had never seen before, and to say the least, it was weird and unexpected. Also, something else apart from the way it looked had caught his attention.

Seeing the massive change in his system and realizing that he does not understand most of what is happening, Victor could help but voice out his thoughts, “What’s all this?” As he looked at the system.

Out of nowhere, he received a reply from the system that had chosen to remain quite throughout.

According to the system, he was affected by the Universal Evolution that happened, and so was the functionality of the system and many other things.

“What do you mean by evolution of the universe?” Victor asked, as his mind wondered back to the events he experienced just before he lost himself.

The system didn’t seem to be able to explain the happenings either, but it had a name for it. Alas, Victor’s system wasn’t sentient; neither did the system have the answer to everything. He forgot the last part for a while.

Back to his system, Victor asked why his stats now read letters instead of numbers, and the explanation was simple. After the so called Universal Evolution, Victor was no longer ahead of the curve like he once was, which meant that him having 11 points in strength would be the same to others having 11 points in strength. The only thing he had that was still advantageous was his ability to evolve and incorporate different species into himself.

This is how the stats worked;

5 – 9 (F rank)

10 – 19 (E rank)

20 – 34 (D rank)

35 – 64 (C rank)

65 – 99 (B rank)

100 – 149 ( A rank)

150 – 199 (S rank)

xxx – xxx (x rank)

..

There were other changes, but Victor was also most interested in the new title he received, but when he opened it to see what it was about, there was nothing.

The system also had nothing to say about this new title, so Victor decided it was best to just leave it for the time being, as maybe it will reveal itself as time goes by.

For the skills, most of his skills have been grouped and absorbed into the other, so it now looks something like this.

Death Ark (S) [Legion of the Dead lvl-MAX, Domain of the Dead lvl-MAX, Touch of Death lvl-MAX, Negative Burst lvl-MAX, Death Curse lvl-MAX, Demon Shadow lvl-MAX, Death Gaze lvl-Max]

Geon Ark (S) [Teleport lvl-MAX, Remote Explosion lvl-MAX, Earth Stump lvl-MAX, Excavate lvl-MAX,]

And so on…
