Rachel POV
Okay so I woke up to groaning and grunts at my door. Did I say I didn’t start school until the next day. I just got my schedule the day before. By the way my neighbor is Rei but so not the point of things. Plot twist to the game now I’m living in as a reality. There’s a fucking zombie in front of me as I opened the door. Actually zombies, who the heck let loose a zombie apocalypse into a otome game. Don’t tell me it was some insane guy. How do I know it’s a zombie apocalypse instead of the normal ones in this fantasy filled world my nameless neighbor on 2 door down just got bitten and turned. Right in front of my eyes, what freaked me out more magic is of no use on them.
How do I know um (add awkward pause here) looking at the panicking students casting spells having zero affect on them.
If Luna heard her thoughts she’d say it’s the only choice you even have against the jerk trying to kill you.
I so want to curse at the idiot who didn’t think things through. What kinda crazed person makes these things so overpowering for us inhabitants of this planet. We’re just normal citizens. Well if you exclude the fact I’m a half goddess and half dragon. Well I kicked the zombies at my door away as I ran into Rei’s room. You wonder how I unlocked a locked door easy live with a immortal spellcastor, very easy to pick up spells. Only difference I don’t have freaking infinite mana. Oh and once inside I saw Rei still sleeping as if nothing else mattered. Where the heck is your instincts honed from being locked up with wild beasts and having to fight them daily.

Rin POV
I went straight to the cause following a spell for the zombie disaster what I didn’t expect was to see two beautiful lady arguing in such a off like showdown. A black wavy hair lady with a death scythe on her back, I think she’s a chuni you know 8th grader syndrome wanting to be death. The other person had blue green hair and silver like eyes. Yet the two stood out from the masses like a unicorn in middle of a field of goblins. (If you can’t guess whom these two are it’s obvious by the hair color.)
“You...you...you dare to unleash a hoard of zombies from a intergalactic space advanced civilization into a fantasy like world.” (Kana)
“I mean it’s just getting rid of some trash, making humans show their most inner emotions and yep alternating this timeline isn’t so bad. Well not compared to the previous world of this one.” (Luna)
“You’ve gone senile Luna.” (Kana)
“Oh have I now. Yet you exist as one person throughout all timelines and have a blank space of where that fool changed the original timelines. Say is this ingenious or is this stupidity radiating from my best friend I’m seeing.” (Luna)
“I’m the goddess of death even if your lie was true I’d at least remember that.” (Kana)
“A fantasy world where nothing is going as it’s intended so even if I let loose some zombies it’s no problem.” (Luna)
No, there’s a hole in your brain that’s what. Didn’t she say the problem was we can’t kill these things with magic. Then there’s the fact that crazy Seven wants to send me and Rachel into the past. Ack the lady actually cast a barrier on them. The only I got from the system by touching the barrier is it was made by the moon goddess Luna. Thanks for the obvious I wasn’t even thinking it was possible. But if Rachel were here her reaction would be: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Way you ask we’re at the school garden with a table and stone bench next to it. Kinda ruining the cool ethereal feel as if the fairies would pop up. But the table and benches look so out of place in here. Note to self the two goddesses are ignoring the zombies around them. Everyone probably wants to know what I’ve been up to during the 8 years of Rachel training. Looking for a way back in time, why you ask I’m being threatened by a insane goddess of prophecy. You’ve guessed it, it’s freaking Seven. Her threat is if I don’t find the way back soon she’s gonna throw me to the void very soon. Short version of the place where scattered souls go. Also no chance of reincarnation there also might be some dead old gods in there.
Rachel POV
Curse you Rin your supposed to be guarding me not leaving me to a crowd of zombies. Then again no freaking spells works on these shit. Oh by the way Rei woke up as soon as I came in. She’s freaking snuggling my head with her chin above me. Did I tell you how much I hate being a child again. This is the reason why, people keep hugging me and snuggling me to death. Makes me wonder if this world is full of lolicons. (Rachel had no clue if her mother was there she’d say it’s cause cuteness is justice.)
Wait on that thought it’s a freaking disparity due to one fact I’m a assassin. Acting is never my forte but those Valkyrie sisters actually taught me it to calm myself down. I mean do you ever like see a FBI back on Earth panicking when their doing missions or when the military goes to covert operation missions. Like no so I’m thankful for the lessons. Scratch that I’m thankful the sisters taught me those lessons on history, races, languages, survival, weaponry, blacksmithing, enchanting, alchemy, and herbology. Which brings me here to right now. I’m wondering what makes these things regenerate so goddamn fast. Why do you ask I tried light magic and laser the converted light beam at it.
Let’s just say it’s half of a face has now officially regenerated. I mean isn’t this freaking scary as hell. Actually I don’t even want to fucking know how the hell these zombies were made. The idiotic guy who make them reminds me of a certain immortal spellcastor I know. Wait how the heck did it go from otome to horror genre. This is not what I signed up for you lazy God.
Elsewhere...
Ayame stared at the thing before her, as the zombie growled at her. Her eyes narrowed at her dead brother next to the library table. Even if she was blind periodically during a certain time of the month she had established a unique sight along with hearing. She’d see souls of the living like glowing orbs that was beating like a heart from the said person. Making her differentiate them from each other from their color of the soul. Her hearing was also more honed than the average humans. So she stared at the thing growling at her in low grunts.
Rather she didn’t lie she went blind for months during odd period of time. It scared her to no end that she might one day lose her sight completely. But she completely stopped when she sensed something off in the space next to her.
“Tada, the amazing Luna has appeared.” (Luna)
“No it’s the annoying goddess who’s more eccentric than freaking Zeus who got impeached by Athena and Hera for trying to help a corrupt goddess. Whom of which bewitched most male gods.” (Ayame)
Luna flinched at her sarcasm as she felt like Ayame just slapped her with her old friends’ deaths. These gods and goddesses have long died and she as well as Kana were the ones still alive. Why did the only person who knew her so well have to rub salt into her wound.
“Ayame. No, actually former demon lord of the devil race, please don’t add more to my wound.” (Luna)
“Says the one that makes a dramatic entrance causing the things called zombies to explode from too much divine pressure same thing with humans. Wait what do you mean former demon lord.” (Ayame)
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
“Ack, I slipped my tongue.” (Luna)
Ayame wanted to say no you didn’t since there was practically sarcasm on that last sentence. Actually I don’t even want to know since I don’t remember anything from my past. Her eyes narrowed at Luna as if to say why the hell do you want me now.
“Woah hold up I didn’t come here for that.”
“So using divine aura to kill zombies and a corpse that’s about to turn counts as a greeting.” (Ayame)
Luna wanted to cry, why is the 2nd female lead of this game so freaking hard. She even has the heroine’s halo instead of the airhead, ditzy heroine. Meaning Ayame had more chances to stay alive than the heroine. It made Luna want to say more but seeing as Ayame couldn’t remember anything she couldn’t help but sigh.
“You know the devil race looks like dragon in their demihuman form just without the horns and has a third eye in middle of the forehead. Let’s see if I remember correctly their diet was blood or eating souls. I’m pretty certain yours was the latter. Which meant no bloody massacre in cities.” (Luna)
Ayame winced but she understood what Luna was trying to get at. Saying how much she has changed due to being reborn as a human. But she had no memories of her past like everyone else. Only a sense of nostalgia of a familiar scent, a better sense of smell than the average person, and a feeling of not being at home.
“So here’s my questions for you. What’s your definition of evil? How does your actions affect your karma? Does it influence where you go in your next life? Or does the door up only to those that did wrong most of time? Whom is the one to decide this? Is it souls, a higher being, or a person who is causing this. Actually whom among the humans decided right from wrong? What’s a sin and what isn’t a sin but by who’s standards? My answer is my life is my own, my choices happen to happen because certain events led to it. What I want is obvious, but your sense of self isn’t here. Meaning these questions might help you more than me.” (Luna)
Her eyebrows twitched as Luna disappeared as quick as she came. But her questions bothered Ayame just as much. Because this was from the eccentric goddess of the moon Luna, whom loved information than anyone else.
“Why does it sound like she’s trying to atone in her answer though. What is it that she regrets.” (Ayame)
It made Ayame who put up a barrier in the library tilted her head. Though it was because no one knew about Luna’s sister. This was also because the humans who wanted to use her had also died ages ago. But rather it was also due to Luna’s sister that most of the timelines wasn’t affected by the so called personification of time who was trying to prevent as much of the original timelines from occurring to prevent his death. Luna had found this out the hard way and also found out that Rachel was one of the catalyst her sister hid by reincarnating her.
Luna’s regret was simple it involved her sister sacrificing herself for their home in the realms. Rather she had found so many small clues in their world history pointing to this. One of those clue pointed to Rachel’s (Mc) exact location.
Standing by the doorway of the library she listened to the mad prince talking about researching the zombies. Wanting to know how a infant inside a pregnant lady would be effected. Hearing this made her frown, this prince is insane about researching it’s best I stay way from him.
Timothy shook with joy as he watched others get bitten by a zombie. His butler Loren fight off the incoming zombies with a irritated look. The girls if they saw him now they’d squeal due to this tsundere being weird. Loren was a tsundere that always denies his feelings. His made Jena was smiling as she was decapitating a zombie’s head.
When Kana saw the zombie regenerating she felt a strong sense of horror. Yes she was trapped by Luna earlier after she made the barrier. But now she felt the horror all over again.
“She couldn’t have brought the zombies from the realm here did she. Then again it’s Luna she’s more eccentric than most gods.” (Kana)
The zombies she mentioned earlier was those from the realms known for their acidic blood, acid breath, high instant regeneration, and incredible hearing. It was a mix of a bat’s hearing and a dragon’s super hearing, which meant they could pick up a heartbeat or breath easily. These said zombies was also highly adaptable and the only way to kill it was to turn it into a puddle of blood. Crushing it’s head or cutting it off was not possible. Even destroying the heart still allowed it to heal. Yes this was the annoying zombies that some fool thought it’d be interesting to make them adaptable. Kana herself was frighten when she was nearly exhausted to death by these hoards of zombies from the realms. (Mentally exhaustion due to seeing them actually lead a pack towards her after she killed one or two zombies)
“Good thing these thing can die by head shot with advanced technology but..... the horror it reminds me of. Then again the good news is these things don’t melt through your skin like those acidic zombies. Once again that is horrifying to a beauty who loves her looks.” (Kana) (she’s just rambling about how scary the said zombies back in her home worlds in the realm is.)
Tina who’s room was just across from Rachel opened her door to yell shut up. But she completely stopped when she saw the zombies outside. Her quick reaction was tripping the zombie coming at her through the door. After all she was the dragon queen reincarnated if she can’t fight these weaklings wouldn’t her title of the strongest being alive be a joke. (The Creator doesn’t mention who her dragon was just that she was a dragon reincarnated) Rather she pushed her cabinet and locked the zombie in place as she stared at her open door. She then jumped into the hallway while backflipping in the air as she used her body to her advantage. Tina harden her skin to her dragon scales and let out a dragon’s roar.
The remaining girls who heard this inside the campus felt a shiver run down their spin. This was a disaster to them, zombies everywhere and magic didn’t work. Yet they heard a roar what kinda monster is gonna show up now. Jude’s eyes twitched as he stared back at his sister Levi who struggled in her ropes. Yes most don’t know this but this was a Yandere siscon in his max level. His twin sister didn’t feel fear of the zombies or the roar. But fear from being with her brother. Actually she was best friends with Tina but when she’s around her brother she felt her chastity in danger. Back as a 6 year old child she kept telling herself that this was all in her head. But now that she’s 16 years old she’s sure he loves her like a man would.
Levi struggled with the clothe stuffed in her mouth while grunting. Jude was a fake playboy but in his route and background it mentions how obsessed he was with his sister. He wouldn’t let her leave his sight, go anywhere without escort or allow her near any women either. It was to the point where even when he married the heroine he’d lock up his own sister for his own crazy love for her. Jude smiled at her as he tied another zombie up next to her in the classroom they were in.
“Oh how I love your shivering figure. It’s excitement of being with me isn’t it Levi.” (Jude) (not even his friend knows he’s this insane)
Her eyes widen as she saw the dulled eyes of his as if something broke. This horror made her realize the zombies were the catalyst and she was now his prey. Making her pray for dear life that someone save her from this insanity. (Her brother)
George was holding his cup of tea while smiling at the students in the student council being bitten by zombies. As to why they were avoiding him was the fact that he pushed Glen into the zombies while laughing insanely. These zombies were mindless but they still had some instincts left in them. This sadist in front of them should’ve been their meal yet he was laughing so crazily at them. Making the zombies and students still alive in the corner cringe. Where the hell was the perfect Prince Charming the 2 girls in the corner of the room. He was letting off a dark vibe. It wasn’t because he wasn’t going insane, it was in fact the opposite he loved death and undead. Though he hid this fact away from his family. (Do note his route the heroine always ends up dead even if she marries him or befriends him.)
Rio was terrified as he was at the arena with his friends when the zombie outbreak took place. The instructor was the first to be bitten causing everyone else to panic. Rei who was with Rachel glared at the window as she saw a crowd of zombies chasing after some students. (She doesn’t count herself as a student due to how her family treated her.) Instead she gave a evil smirk as she watched outside in fascination.
Sylvia stood there at the throne room in utter chaos with her emotions as she stared at her husband’s corpse. Inside his chest was a sword impaled in by the king. Making her eerily cold as she stood there stiffly looking at the king with murderous eyes. She had forgotten to hide her appearance causing herself a mess. The king had tried to kill her since he can’t have her (cause she’s a beauty) but her husband who was following her quietly had run into the path of the sword. (Luna watching this showed a indifferent look as she’s just watching from a far.)
“So this is the repayment men made for me. Me, whom helped create their damned race.” (Sylvia)
Instantly they felt a chill fell into the whole room, as if they had broken a unspoken rule of hers. Rachel’s mother Sylvia casted a cold light off of her as she stared blankly at the king. Her husband and her daughter were her reverse scale. Meaning they shouldn’t be touched or else chaos would be insured on the world.
“Since men are this foolish, harshship should be insured right. Oh since you fools want my so called sister’s rule so much let’s see how much you guys care about the havoc of these zombies and she herself brings for you. I care not anymore for you lowly creatures.” (Sylvia)
