A man in a silent dark narrow alleyway with an very bad stench, the man was trembling in fear and at the same time he had an big smile of joy and excitement on his face but he was still not able to collect his thoughts after what the man had seen, his initial thought was that it was again a dream, he first looked at his hands to check weather it had 5 fingers or not, there was all five fingers, then the man pinched his hand to see if he was still able to feel pain, then the man took out his blade to check if he was still be able to bleed and that was when the man realised that this is not a dream that what he had hoped for since his childhood had became reality but suddenly a thought came to his mind, that made him realise what a grave mistake he had done.

He suddenly heard a voice from his back, he started moving his knife in an very unique style which the man was very confident about as so that he first attacked the zombie, he hit him in the neck as it would be the easiest for him he destroyed the zombie's spinal cord from the neck to destroy the connection between his brain and the body then he would easily be able to destroy his head by smashing it with his foot, he then split open the guts of the zombie and there was an very bad stench coming from it, he then covered his body with the zombie's blood and wrapped the intestine around his arms and neck with this he was confident that he would be preety much invisible to the zombie's, the man had been very fond of zombies since his childhood, he had very much wished to live in such world, and so for that the man had trained his body and mind he had learned Martial Arts, Sword Techniques, Wildlife Survival and since he had served in military he was very good in using guns after his military discharge he went to live in an small town with low population so if there was ever an apocalypse the man would be able to survive the initial impact of the apocalypse.

The man then went on his way to home, as so he can get all the survival equipment he would need, guns, flint, canned food, swords, dagggers.

On his way he encountered more zombies than humans, he tried to save as many as he could but there were not many who could be saved, he then noticed something, he saw someone getting attacked by the zombies but he was too tired to help someone, then he heard their loud & painful scream he noticed that it was familiar he then realised that it his friend after realising this he shouted his name 'Yatsuroki' his Friend shivering in fear and trembling in pain was getting eaten alive by the zombies, he seeing his friend in this state ran towards him killing every zombie in the way, he was getting overwhelmed by the amount of zombies, but he was still trying to make his way through to his friend who had always helped him even when others kept distance from him said he was weird, he was even bullied because of him, but still he never left his side, he listened to his shitty stories, stood beside him when people bullied him, laughed, cried, beated people, got beaten, but he never left his side, after slaying all the zombies he went to his friends side, crying while holding him in his arms, his friend with trembling voice whispered "Ken, it was not your fault, don't feel guilty you did everything you could, now I beg of you kill me before I turn into a zombie, please..." He while crying said it is his fault, if he had not ignored your cry you might have been able to live, his friend said " don't be like that would you really send me off while crying.. " he then with a small laugh while still crying said, "no I would like to send you off with a smile", he then put him down and approached his gun, while his hands shaking he took the aim, his friend said " Thanks, I had a great time together" with that he replied " me too" the with a smile on both their faces he shot him in the head, he killed him before he could turn into a monster, he then got himself together and went towards his house, he in the end reached his home he was 26 y/old he lived alone, no family, no friend anymore, no girlfriend, he had no one left for him, but he had conviction he now understood how childish his dream was, after losing his only friend/family he now hated his previous self for hoping for this kind of thing, he now wanted to find a heaven in this new born hell, he took all his weapons, swords, guns, dagger, food supply and put it in his car, he was going towards his private bunker which he had been putting most of monthly salary towards which had more weapons food, water and medical supplies, he wanted to take other people of the town with him, but he just couldn't find the courage to do so, by taking someone from this town with him he would remember his friend every_day with the sun shining he went out to start a new journey, to find people to not just survive but live in this newly born hell.
