Chapter 1:Beginning and Preparation for the End
You know… I kinda regret drinking that bottle after a strange man gave it to me as thanks.
The man was having trouble with his car, it was a 1980 Mustang with blue paint job. It was a simple fix really, a new spark plug here, and a new tire there.
The man has rewarded me with an unopened bottle that looks like wine. So after my work as a delivery driver, which in turn, my job landed me in Atlanta Georgia. While listening to the radio station I heard about a virus going around and the doctors and scientists are working around the clock.
Parking my truck at a rest stop, booking a hotel for the night, and taking a swig of the bottle and boom, I got knocked out real fast.
An endless void surrounds me, just floating in the abyss. I counted about a minute till something appeared in front of me.
[Hello Jacob, you have been chosen for the ability of the Gamer System.]
What the hell… am I hallucinating? It's gotta be the wine I drink.
[No you are not and yes it is the wine.]
I raised my eyebrows at that. Huh, didn't know you can be sarcastic.
[I'm not sarcastic, just telling you the answer. Best to press start.]
[Press Start]
The text appears in front of me, guess this is happening then. So I pressed it.
[Quest begins:Tutorial]
[Please enter your name]
Jacob (Nickname:Helios) Quinata
[So you want Helios as a nickname right?]
Why not? I always like the name Helios as my last name.
[Alright then. Do you want to have the memory of your previous life?]
Wait back up. I was reincarnated before?
[Correct, your last life though, you lived past your late 30s]
Well then, guess you can do that.
[Transferring memories now.]
…
…
…
Ohh shit, I'm in the Walking Dead.
Guess that explains why I'm in Atlanta, the news about the virus, and why it's 2010.
[That is right, I'm surprised you noticed.]
Well I've been getting some dejavu recently.
[All right then, here are your stats.]
[Jacob "Helios" Quinata]
[Species:Human]
[Age:18]
[Level:5]
[Exp:0/600]
[HP:435]
[HPR:3/Min]
[MP:260]
[MPR:3/Min]
[Str:42]
[Vit:37]
[Dex:32]
[Int:38]
[Wis:29]
[Luck:40]
[SPA:0]
[Currency:500 US Dollars (Pre-Apocalypse)]
So I can still use cash before the apocalypse begins. That's good to know.
[Alright it's time for a tutorial. Since you already know what you are about to face. So which weapon you want to choose.]
Can I choose a gun?
[That was quick. Sure, here you go.]
[Item Received:Glock 17]
[Also you have infinite ammo for your guns, but not infinite clips, but only in dungeons and when out of the field you have to search and craft your own ammunition. Infinite ammo will be unlocked at level 50.]
Alright then let's do it.
[Here we go.]
With that a few walkers appeared in front and saw its level.
[Walker/Undead:Lv 1-5]
[BGM: Walker Attack The Walking Dead: Road to Survival Plays]
Setting the safety off, pulling the slide to chamber 9mm bullets, it's time to fire.
Aiming down the sight and pulling the trigger, the gun fired off and the bullet hit in the head of level 3 walker and went down instantly.
[Headshots will take down walkers easily, same for melee weapons as well. But you will be encountering different variations of them during your journey.]
So in this universe, the undead have variants like in State of Decay?
Then shooting two more walkers dead.
[Yep.]
[Almost forgot, you are immune from the virus, so whenever a walker manages to bite you, you take damage. You can make temporary vaccines for other survivors.]
Oh that's good to hear, it'll end too early for me.
Only two more remaining, popping the last two.
That's easy, but there's going to be more when it happens.
[Quest Complete:Tutorial]
[Level Up]
[Congrats on beating your first quest. You still have time to prepare. And I filled some contacts in your phone to find others to help you prepare for the end.]
[Quest Begins:The Road to Survival]
[Time to the end:3 Months, 28 Days, 4 Hours Remaining.]
[Good Luck.]
I woke up in a coughing fit. Probably from the wine.
And here comes the hangover.
It's about 5am as I look at the clock in my hotel.
"Well then I guess a trip to a gun store will be my first step." I said as I brought my phone up to see the contacts and…
"Wait… I have Tallahassee from Zombieland in my contacts?!"
