Into the Zombie World

A surprised yell reached Nile\'s ears as the woman from before spoke his name. 

Nile tilted his head in confusion and stared at the woman who has her hoodie hat lowered by now. 

Even the dirt present on her face and her messy hair could still not hide her beautiful appearance.

She was not an extreme beauty but in Nile\'s eyes, she is. In Nile\'s term, she\'s an \'Ordinarily Beautiful\' woman. 

She stared at Nile straight in the eyes and the shock and bewilderment could not be hidden from it. 

Her eyes were shining as if a child seeing a lollipop reward after finishing their assignments in time. 

"Nile?" She asked again. 

At the same time, Nile\'s eyes went hazy as a surge of memories surfaced inside his brain. 

The next second, his eyes returned to normal as the information about the woman in front of him was already absorbed completely. 

It was a memory that the previous Nile wanted to forget no matter what. 

"You got the wrong person!" Nile said after a moment of contemplation. He wanted to distance himself first and sort the chaotic emotions he was suddenly feeling.

It seems that the Instant Adapter Talent was not of help to him this time.

She was an acquaintance of the previous Nile five years ago. And his memory about her was both happy and sad at the same time. 

\'Lucky bastard! And a piece of coward shit!\' Nile cursed the previous owner of the body he was using after he inherited this piece of forgotten memory. 

She could be considered as his half-lover. During high school, it was apparent that the two loved each other and they showed it without hindrance. 

However, they really never confirmed their relationship and they always stayed at the border of being friends and lovers. 

The two were already satisfied with their act. And neither of them wanted to stop it. 

However, it all changed when her father interfered with their \'relationship\'. 

Her father, who was already the Mayor of the town of Daan at that time, doesn\'t want his daughter to be in a half-assed relationship and he wanted Nile to take responsibility and become a couple already. 

Her father, the Mayor, loved his daughter so much and he didn\'t want to interfere with her life as much as possible. However, when he heard the half-assed relationship they were in, the Mayor took pity on her daughter and decided to threaten Nile. 

"Affirm your relationship with my daughter or else leave my town!"

The \'coward\' Nile was afraid to take responsibility, and due to the threats he received from the Mayor, he immediately chose to distance himself from them and went towards the City to continue his education. 

After that, Nile no longer heard of them and five years had already passed ever since then.

"Nile, it\'s really you!" The woman, Jellan said with a shaky voice. She confirmed it after hearing his voice. The feelings that she had suppressed for five years erupted as tears started to flow down her cheeks. 

Tsk! 

Nile bit his tongue forcefully, he doesn\'t know what to do in this situation. He wanted to deny it, and not deny it at the same time.

In his previous life, he was not able to experience this kind of feeling. 

His heart was beating like crazy. It was pleasing and painful at the same time. 

One side of him was happy after recalling her, while the other one was sad seeing her state. 

\'This bastard, even though he\'s already dead, his feelings still remained. I was lucky I did not inherit his cowardice.\' Nile laughs at his own situation. 

"Where have you been all this time?" Jellan wiped the tears on the corner of her eyes as she smiled and asked Nile a question that bothered her for years. 

Roar!

However, before Nile could answer, the zombie had already beaten him to it with a roar! 

Nile glanced at the level three zombie that became berserk all of a sudden. 

\'Come to think of it, this zombie also seems to be familiar…. Huh? Isn\'t this the mayor?\' Nile gasp in shock after the realization. 

He looked at Jellan and then the Mayor Zombie, and then Jellan again.

"Yeah... that\'s my father!" Jellan lowered her head before nodding in confirmation. However, her voice was no longer that sad, it seems that she has already started to accept the truth. 

It has been months already after all, and the only thing that keeps her hoping that her father might come back was due to the behavior it showed during the town hall siege.

However, seeing his current situation, Jellan came to a realization that it was already too late. 

"I\'m sorry!" Nile uttered without thinking it. The words just escaped his mouth all of a sudden. 

"It\'s alright. I am already starting to move on!" She replied with a broken smile. 

However, the words struck Nile and it pained his heart. The words, \'starting to move on\' lingered on his mind and he suddenly looked blank. 

However, the Mayor Zombie wouldn\'t let him continue with it as it dashed with extreme speed towards them. 

"Nile, I\'ve seen that you also have become stronger. Please grant this selfish request of mine." 

"Please help me kill my father!" She stated with a firm voice. 

Nile was taken aback and if they were not in the apocalypse and she said those same words again, it would really cause people to misunderstand. 

It was already his plan to kill the zombie from the start, no matter even if he identified it as the previous Nile\'s acquaintance or not. An extra hand might even help him to save some apocalypse points. 

"Alright!" Nile replied as he flicked the spear on his hands. 

Jellan also did the same with a sword tied on her waist. She already discarded everything while escaping earlier apart from the sword tied on her waist. 

She flicked the sword resolutely and gazed at her incoming zombie father. 

However, the zombie ignored her and went towards Nile with a fisst ready to be released on his face.
