I awakened to be a menace at the start of the game, and my parents sent me to the cherry blossom vie

The wind at night in Busan

It had the salty taste of seawater and a foul stench like fried herring cans.

Lin Fan walked barefoot on the street littered with shards of glass and bullet casings.

Even though the soles of his feet were protected by a layer of calluses and he couldn't feel the pain, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Damn, this is unbelievable!"

As Lin Fan walked, he couldn't help but complain about the surrounding shops.

"This huge shopping street doesn't even have a single decent piece of clothing? It's all women's wear? Is this... deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"

He just strolled around a clothing store on the roadside and found that it was full of crop tops and miniskirts.

If he wore this, the image would be too beautiful; he was afraid he would have nightmares just looking at it.

There was no other way but to maintain the form of this black scale battle suit.

Fortunately, the black keratin layer covers the entire body, making it look like a tight-fitting tokusatsu suit, so it's not too indecent.

After passing through several deserted streets, the view suddenly opened up ahead.

It was a huge crossroads square.

However, the square was now packed with people.

No, to be precise, it was filled with mutated infected individuals.

These infected individuals were very orderly; they did not scream or cause chaos.

They stood in a neat row, like gangsters, just waiting for the order to "kill the guy in the black leather jacket in front."

At the very front of this group of infected people stood a gray-white figure.

Lin Fan stopped and tilted his head to look at the other person.

As he was observing, the gray-white figure opposite him was also staring intently at him.

The air seemed to freeze at that moment.

Their eyes met in mid-air, sparks flying.

At this moment, if a Western cowboy background music were added, it would be even more perfect!

only……

When Lin Fan's gaze fell on the other person's smooth thighs, and the part that was fluttering in the wind...

Look down at yourself again.

Although covered by scales, its general outline is still clearly visible.

Well, the tense atmosphere was immediately diluted by a sense of absurdity.

"that……"

After a long silence, Lin Fan finally broke the awkward atmosphere.

"Dude, you just came from the bathhouse too? Missed the back scrub?"

Jack, who was opposite him, was clearly taken aback when he heard this, obviously not understanding the greeting with its strong Northeastern flavor.

Although he didn't understand Lin Fan's words, he could sense a hint of mockery and disdain in them.

"roar--!!!"

Jack let out a low growl.

His muscles bulged, and his veins writhed beneath his skin like black venomous snakes.

Greed was undisguised within the anger.

In its view, Lin Fan was not only a human being, but also a tonic.

Moreover, it's the kind of nourishing soup that's considered a "perfect tonic."

Its inner voice kept telling it that as long as it ate this human, it could evolve into a higher species.

However, the aura emanating from Lin Fan also made him feel fear and even tremble.

Even because of Lin Fan's appearance, many of its memories from its previous life resurfaced in its mind.

Cherry blossoms, Tokyo.

Countless terrifying zombies and mutated monsters ravaged the land.

It tripped and fell on its way to the port and was accidentally bitten by a mutated rat.

At the time, I didn't think much of it and just assumed it was a normal wound.

It wasn't until it boarded the evacuation ship that its body began to heat up and its consciousness began to blur.

Driven by a strong will to survive, she managed to stay here until the very end, and then...

"Eat...eat you..."

Jack's still-developing vocal cords struggled to squeeze out a few indistinct syllables.

Although his speech was unclear, even a fool could see the desire in him to devour Lin Fan alive.

"Um?"

Lin Fan raised an eyebrow.

He heard it clearly.

This thing can actually talk?

only……

"Want to eat me?"

Lin Fan looked at Jack, who seemed to be mentally challenged, and chuckled.

"Many people want to eat me, who do you think you are?"

"and……"

He looked Jack up and down, his face full of disgust:

"You're so unkempt, you don't even wear clothes when you're out here."

Although I'm not wearing it, this is a skin I got from an open box, so it has stat boosts.

What is that? Pure harassment.

Jack couldn't understand what he was babbling about, but it could sense the condescending, superior feeling he was giving.

As the king of Busan, this attitude made him extremely unhappy.

"roar!!!"

Jack suddenly waved his hand.

His movements exuded domineering power, as if an ancient general were giving the order to charge.

The thousands of mutated infected creatures around them, who had been unable to restrain themselves, rioted instantly upon receiving the king's command.

Rumbling--

The footsteps were like thunder.

The black horde of corpses surged towards Lin Fan, who was at the center, from all directions like a tsunami.

Those gaping, blood-red mouths and those scarlet eyes were enough to terrify any normal person to the point of losing control of their bladder on the spot.

however.

He showed no panic whatsoever in the face of these reckless creatures.

There wasn't even a dodge attempt.

He simply stood there quietly, watching those infected who could barely be considered his disciples and grand-disciples.

Yes.

disciples and followers.

Just moments before Jack felt greedy towards him, the strange feeling in Lin Fan's mind became clear.

He sensed a familiar feeling in Jack.

That's his own flavor.

To be precise, it is the viral aura derived from the [Calamity Body].

Although he didn't know how the other person had traveled across the ocean to get here, he could feel that their "roots" were with him.

Suddenly, he remembered that feeling he had when he was sleeping in Tokyo...

It became clear instantly!

"I see."

Lin Fan looked at the other person with a mocking expression.

Since you grew up drinking my bathwater, we should really discuss our generational relationship.

Just as the first infected person's claws were about to grab his face.

The sharp fingernail was less than three centimeters from the eyeball.

You could even smell the rotten flesh under the fingernails.

Lin Fan, without hesitation, raised his hand and delivered a basic attack, turning the image into a mosaic.

Then he narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Jack in the distance with a ferocious expression.

With a single thought, he summoned the source of calamity within his body.

There weren't any earth-shattering special effects.

There was nothing dazzlingly golden about it.

It was just a simple idea.

An order from a superior to a subordinate...

"Kneel down."

Two very concise and simple words.

It was gently spat out from Lin Fan's mouth.

The sound was not loud, and even seemed insignificant amidst the cacophony of the zombie horde's roars.

But next second.

thump!

The infected who hadn't yet reached him suddenly buckled at the knees and knelt heavily on the ground.

Followed by.

The huge intersection looked like a domino effect.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Starting with Lin Fan, one infected person after another knelt down and began to tremble.

Those mutated infected, who were originally incredibly ferocious and capable of tearing apart tanks with their bare hands, now acted like elementary school students who had seen their headmaster, rushing to kneel down one after another.

Some of them even slid and knelt down in front of Lin Fan because they were rushing too fast and couldn't stop.

Two dark red skid marks were left on the ground by his knees.

In just three seconds.

The once bustling square was now deathly silent.

Countless infected people prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling with fear.

Not one dared to raise its head.

At this moment.

In the center of the square, only two "people" remained standing.

One was Lin Fan, who had a nonchalant expression.

The other was Jack, who was shocked and struggled to stay upright, refusing to kneel down.

At this moment, the expression on its grayish-white face was incredibly fascinating.

Confusion, shock, bewilderment, and doubt about life.

His brain crashed.

This isn't right!

These infected people are clearly its underlings, so why are they all kneeling before the other side?

I am the king!

I am the king of Busan!

"roar……?"

Struggling desperately against his instinctive fear, Jack roared again, clinging to a sliver of hope.

however.

The infected on the ground lowered their heads even further, as if even glancing at the black-scaled man would be a desecration.

Not a single infected person responded to its roar.

Lin Fan smiled lightly, slowly raised his foot, walked around the infected person kneeling in front of him, and walked step by step towards Jack.

Da, da, da.

The footsteps were very light, but to Jack they sounded like a death knell.

And as the other party approached, it felt every cell in its body screaming, begging it to submit, to kneel down.

That feeling was as if it came from the very source of one's bloodline.

"No... I am... God..."

Jack gritted his teeth, his muscles tense, trying to fight this instinct.

He's an evolved form!

He is a new kind of human being with intelligence!

How could I possibly kneel before some random guy!

Lin Fan walked up to Jack.

The two were less than half a meter apart.

Lin Fan was slightly shorter than Jack, but his aura at that moment was as tall as 2.8 meters.

He looked up at Jack, who was still struggling to stay afloat and was covered in cold sweat.

His lips curled up slightly, revealing a set of pearly white teeth.

That smile, in Jack's eyes, was nothing short of a devil's smile.

Lin Fan reached out and gently patted Jack's taut chest muscles.

This action was extremely insulting.

"You're in great shape."

Lin Fan made a compliment, then his tone changed abruptly, and his eyes instantly turned cold.

At this moment, a faint golden vertical glint flashed in those originally jet-black eyes.

A terrifying pressure, like Mount Tai crashing down, descended with a deafening roar.

This is more than just momentum.

It is a kind of dimensional reduction attack that originates from bloodline.

"Since these kids all know the rules."

Lin Fan withdrew his hand, his voice calm yet undeniable:

"As the supervisor, shouldn't you at least know how to be polite?"

Jack's once golden pupils instantly became unfocused.

That trace of pride as a "king" becomes utterly laughable in the face of absolute bloodline.

That fear, originating from the depths of his soul, completely shattered his psychological defenses.

Click!

Ultimately, its kneecap still hit the ground.

Not only that, even its head was deeply touching the ground.

He bowed deeply to Lin Fan!

Lin Fan looked at Jack, who was kneeling at his feet trembling, and felt extremely satisfied, but at the same time, he also felt extremely contemptuous.

"cut."

"I thought you were a king, but it turns out you're just a bronze."

"Hey, Naked Man."

He kicked Jack, who was kneeling on the ground, without any politeness.

"king."

Jack gave a humble response.

"Have your men... no, have your corpses find me some clothes."

Faced with the infected person before him, Lin Fan naturally didn't need to be polite.

"Also, find me all the meat that's edible around here."

"Forget it, I'll just eat myself. I'm afraid you might poison me!"

With that, he swaggered past Jack and headed toward a decent-looking shopping mall not far away.

……

at the same time.

Across the ocean.

The top U.S. officials, who had been closely monitoring the situation in Busan, all experienced a collective system crash as they watched the live footage transmitted back by satellite.

Especially the image of the infected, who were like a surging tide, kneeling neatly on the ground.

They could hardly believe their eyes!

How is that possible?

Is that person wearing black scales human? Or something else entirely?

"Shit, can anyone tell me what that black thing is?"

"Could this be a newly evolved species?"
