Chapter 90: Vison, Dream or Reality

Ever since Zain turned into a zombie, he came to know quite a number of facts about zombies, and one such interesting discovery was that the zombies didn't need sleep. However, they could somewhat make their mind go into a daze instead of switching off as if one was daydreaming. By doing this, the energy consumption compared to being awake would decrease quite a lot and they would be able to conserve it.

However, although zombies didn't sleep, once in a while, Zain would feel a familiar sensation he had felt a few times as if he was suddenly being possessed by something and would then begin to fall asleep. The last time this had happened he was surrounded by the reborn group.

This time it was happening at night and he was alone. Just before he had completely gone into the daze, through the system he had given the order to Cobra and Skittle to protect, hoping it would be enough for anyone that came their way.

‘It's happening again, am I going to that place… I have to prepare myself for what could come, and I might meet the faceless man again.' Zain collected his thoughts.

It was a guess, but after a few moments in darkness, Zain found himself awake once again. Looking around, it was hard to tell where he was because it was dark, but he could move around.

When moving though, he realized his body didn't move as it usually would have, and putting his palm against his chest he sensed a heartbeat.

‘I'm in my childhood body again,' Zain thought. ‘I wonder what age I am? Maybe about 11 or something? And how come whenever I come to this place, I'm younger than I am? I guess, in this daydream or vision, I'm human as well since I can feel my heartbeat.'

Eventually, Zain's eyes started to adjust to the darkness and he could see slightly in front of him, but it was still incredibly difficult to see a far distance ahead. Everything looked fuzzy, and even his own hands looked more like just an outline.

When moving to the side, Zain eventually felt the surface of the wall, it was hard and slightly wet.

‘Is this…a cave?' Zain thought.

Looking for a while, there was only one way to go, and he began to move towards it with caution. The faceless man would most likely appear around the corner.

‘This whole situation is weird. Are these memories? The ones that I have locked away… I mean, I can somewhat remember my childhood, but I don't remember any of this. This has to be more of a dream.' Zain thought.

Eventually, the cave started to open up and there seemed to be more light in the cave. There were small glowing blue rocks spread out around the place lighting it up. It really did look quite beautiful, but Zain wasn't in the mood to appreciate the scenery.

The open area was relatively large, around the size of a football field. At the same time, there looked to be countless numbers of tunnels to choose from in terms of exiting, and it was impossible to tell which one would allow Zain to exit out of this place.

However, with a closer look, Zain had eventually spotted a large table. Walking over to it, he thought there might be a note or something informing him why he was here.

‘Why would there even be a table in a cave in the first place?' Zain thought.

When reaching the table, Zain was surprised by what he saw, because laid out on it were a bunch of different weapons. It looked similar to what Kun had set up back at the club. There were axes, swords, spears, and even a crossbow had been placed in here.

On top of that, there were a number of weapons that he had never seen before. Unfortunately, there was no note explaining what was going on, or what he needed to do.

‘If my instincts are right, as soon as I go through one of those tunnels, there is going to be something I face, and the weapons here are for me to use to defeat whatever it is I'm going to fight against… but I'm in my childhood body.' Zain thought.

Now Zain somewhat wished for the faceless man, as the fear of the unknown was settling in, but remembering that horrifying no face, he shook it off and realized maybe he was in a better situation as he shook his head, and decided to go ahead for the short sword.

It was the same weapon that he had taken from Kun, although this one was smaller to suit his size. It was a bit heavy, but Zain thought that was most likely due to his Zombie strength helping him in the real world rather than in this world.

After picking up the sword, Zain was ready to go through one of the many tunnels, but that was when he started to hear a slight low-level growling noise.

Immediately, Zain got a little away from the table to give him more room to manoeuvre. Hearing the sound, he was wondering where the noise was coming from, but that's when he realized it wasn't just coming from one of the rooms, it was coming from several of them.

A few seconds later, and a number of zombies could be seen running out of the tunnels heading straight toward Zain. They had nothing in their hands and weren't super fast as such, but they were running just like a mutated one would on the outside.

Before the zombies reached Zain though, a ding was heard in his head, and a notification screen had appeared.

‘What, that's the system noise, this is the system… it still works here, what is it doing?'

[Quest: Defeat the Zombie horde using the weapon of your choice.]

[Reward: Sword Mastery Level 1]

[Failure: A penalty will be applied.]

‘What kind of dream is this? Is this real?'
