Regrets became evident on Shu’s face after he had killed his enemy, Gen Yamashita, a young scientist who created the zombie virus that spread across Japan. He knows that he is the one who causes the death of his parents, but he soon realizes that vengeance is not the way to go. Instead, he became a monster like Gen, and he was devastated by it.
  Now, he decided to save Gen from his death, and after that, he became depressed and blamed himself for making the virus outbreak worse. It seems that he would be a broken person full of regrets.
  But, he will not last long in his painful depression. Gen came and reconciled with him, renewing their wills to live life again. Now they are racing against the clock to reverse Gen’s mistakes that wreak havoc across Japan. They will not do that huge and seemingly impossible mission themselves. Two of Gen’s subordinates, Arashi Hoshikawa and Nato Hokawa, and a pair of twin young women, Mara and Martha Buenavista, will accompany them in their mission, alongside Gen’s organization. Will this be a golden ticket for both Gen and Shu to a better life and future?

 Before bedtime at 9:20 p.m., after reading my scavenged Japanese Bible in the Protestant canon, I reached for my smartphone, a 2o23 model from Samsung and hopped into Discord. I was a member of a Discord server named Mundane Lives, a server for those who lived mundane lives. But my guilt of murdering Gen weeks ago paralyzed me from typing a single letter in English, the common language of the server. I felt something within me: I wasn't worthy of talking to my online friends unless my hands are now clean from murder.


 Because of that, I exited the app, left it untouched, and hopped into YouTube, where I watched a few videos on Christian theology, especially on Protestant theology so I could choose what Protestant church I should join after doing the sinner's prayer. The evening was quiet, but I detached myself from the online worlds I used to be immersed in before Gen unleashed the zombie virus across Japan, becoming an outcast that relied on YouTube for entertainment.
