...Y/N

The system will automatically rearrange itself]

Allen once again checks.

'So... I just don't get involved.'

Allen remains calm.

Humph!

This was like telling him to stay away and let tragedy happen. While he remains back and watches the scene uphold.

His finger was on the button, which still remains.

"Fuck it!" Without hesitation he pressed.

Ding!

[Contract accepted]

The room starts to rumble!

The system processes the agreement, sealing the contract with glowing runes.

[System: contract accepted. Opening the dimensions gateway now. Prepare for invasion in 3... 2... 1...]

***

In America city.

A giant gate emerges.

The city streets erupt into chaos as portals opens, releasing dark toxic tendrils that began spreading rapidly.

Zombies roar!

The entire undead pour out from the portal, their grotesque form attacking civilians while spreading infection.

Rrrrghrrr!

Zombies rush towards anyone who moves.

[System: The undead army has begun its assault. The city is under attack by [Plague] first wave. Calculated tragedy and death.]

The system is recording everything.

American hunters just arrived at the scene.

The hunters, equipped with specialized weapons and gears, arrive at the chaotic scene.

"How come no one got alert?"

"Shit! This ain't normal. This type of monster is basically zombie type. Don't let them get near you. Make sure you don't let them bite you either." This was now a serious matter.

One hundred remains calm at the scene.

These particular hunters were aware of the zombies. "Clear the way! Stop anyone who has been bitten and check anyone who's been effective as well." He warns his teammates.

He gave them a solid order.

"I repeat! Check everyone even who tries to rush towards you, " his voice filled with concern and seriousness.

Roar!

The hunters heard the loud voice.

"Holy!"

"Formation!"

The hunters form a defensive perimeter, their faces showing signs of panic as they witness the overwhelming numbers of zombies. The group was showing fear.

The other hunters are trying to remain calm, but sheer numbers of undead are testing their resolve.

The gruesome scene is unforgettable as the zombies tear through civilians without mercy. Children scream mix with roaring flames and the hunters cries.

Battle erupted.

Ting!

The sound of metal clashing against rotting flesh echoes through the burning city, mix sounds filled the air, the hunters shouts, and the zombies gluttural growls.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The battlefield is filled with sounds of war. Explosions rock nearby buildings as some hunters us Explosive weapons.

'Ahhhh!...' The hunters engage in fierce combat against the zombies, but the sheer numbers are overwhelming them.

The American hunters are fighting valiantly, but they're being pushed back.

"Damn it!" A random person shout.

Their endless undead were now rising.

Several have already fallen to the undead relentless assault.

As the zombies continued their rampage, some of the fallen civilians began to stir unnaturally, their bodies twitching and snapping as they reanimate.

"Rrrrrghr," they slowly rise.

The transformation is happening faster than expected. The newly turned zombies join their brethren in attacking the hunters.

On tv news show a frightened and casualties live broadcast.

News anchor: "We are receiving reports of unprecedented destruction in multiple cities across the country. Thousand have died, and the death toll still rising. Officials advised everyone to stay indoors and avoid contact with infected individuals."

***

Back at allen room.

The tv continues to broadcast the chaos while allen sits calmly on his couch. The system update from the invasion.

Ding!

The familiar sound of the system notification rings out, drawing your attention to the glowing screen.

[System shows:] Infection rate: 78%. Hunter casualties: 65%. Zombies population growth: still processing and exponentially increasing. Few cities have now been infected.

"Mmm... not bad," allen remains indifferent to the suffering of others, his cold demeanor unchanged despite the devastation happening across America.

Ding!

[System: Would you like to open your status?]

"Yes."

The system shows.

[Status]

Level: 0

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Name: Allen

System: Contract

Skill: [gateway skill], [Summon skill], [Life switch skill], [Synced skill], [Foreigner language skill]

Summon: [100/100]

Storage: [empty]

Allen said, "Now what?" He wasn't sure.

The system is calculated and recorded.

Ding!

[System: You're now leveling up.]

Growth rate: starting up.

Bzzz(static)

Power started to surge within allen body.

Allen feels an intense surge of power all sudden coursing through his body, a direct result of the successful invasion and his contract with 'pladgue.'

Level: 0... 5... 10... 45... 50

The system automatically scans: your current level is now 50. Your percentage increase from this event. The contract is working as promised.

"I reached level 50," his surprise expression. He remembered back then, it takes him at least 2 months to reach level 40.

Now. He just sat and watched the scene unfold and immediately got level up. This was easier than back then.

Ehehehe!... a dark smile spread across his face as he reveled in the sensation of growth strength.

"This is something else... hehe... this was way better than my last system."

Now he's processing the idea to use this system to cause more tragedy events, but he's needs to prepare in case something happens. He doesn't want his loved one to get caught in the crossfire.

Humph, he thought hard for a moment.

Level 50 was basically on the same level as an A-rank hunter. If he goes beyond that level, he will finally reach S-rank.

Wait!

"System!" I shouted.

Ding...

[System: yes?]

Allen said, "Show me all user..."

Ding

The system connected who is available.

[System online: Pladge active, King of swarm active, black dragon active.]

[3/10] is available at this time.

Allen said, "Only 3, ugh..."

He plans to invite more but not yet.

Allen just waited until pladgue finished his end of the bargain. With his undead spreading, it won't be long for him to reach S level rank.

With his growth rate.

He's a being that can grow over time.

Ding!

[System: The main character has finally reached level 5]

Allen notification popped up.

Ding

[System: Main character slain the undead.]

[Plague undead: 20,000/20,200 decreasing]

[Second wave: 5h:45m:30s. Will soon open]

Allen sits calmly and says, "Zues... you are still acting as a hero, as I predicted.

System: Your growth rate remains. While pladuge rate remains despite losing a few undead.

Ding!

[System: Plague is furious! And wants to negotiate once again.]

Allen was curious as to why would pladgue want to negotiate.

"Could it be," he was about to say something.

However, a sudden news on tv caught him off.

"We just in! A hero name zues has shown up." A random person on tv.

***

Zues with grin, "Hahah..." He attacked the zombies on sight.

Slice!

Woosh..

He rushes in front line stopping the undead from spreading.

"System!" Zues shouted.

Ding!

[System:] it's scanning the whole area in one go.

Bing!

[Undead: 20,000/ 20,200]

Zues with battle hunger immediately active his skill that he just got recently.

[Sprint: activate]

His mana radiates mist.

Boom!

His magic mana burst and immediately speed through the zombies horde and clash through cutting the undead left to right.

Other American hunters slowly saw hope.

"A hero emerges in crisis! Let's join!" A random soldier shouted.

More hunters were now showing up in the scene, stopping the undead.

***

Back at allen place.

The system automatically scans: Undead ratings: before 75% and now is 40%. The ratings were slowly dropping.

Ding!

[System: Plague responds with furious anger towards the situation. He is now losing his army of undead and wants to negotiate once again.]

Ding

[Plague: wants to send more armies of undead]

Ding!

Send you a deal.

Allen pressed the system and saw what pladgue send him.

[Pladgue: gives you the right to command of the Plague soldiers and fully control]

System benefits active.

'Synced skill' has now been added towards Pladgue soldiers.

[Would you accept?]

[Y/N]

Allen was more intrigued to test out the skill.

Yes.

Ding!

***

Back at the city.

Chaos still remain.

Burning and collapsed building crumbles.

American hunters clear of what's left.

"I think we are done," he said with unsure.

Hunters scattered for survivors.

Zues still rushing towards other street slashing through zombies.

Level up! Level up!

His system popped up.

He now reaches level 12 despite being E-rank. He already thought about grinding through town, cutting down zombies as an experienced point.

While he was distracted.

Humph!

A shadow emerged above him. Zues slowly tilts his head upward to see the sky slowly revealing a giant portal.

The hunters around the area notice the gate above their heads.

"You got to be shitty me! We just wiped out the zombies!" A random American didn't expect another gate to appear before them.

It felt like it was a coincidence.

Zues remains calm and shows a smirk, "Finally!" His face filled with excitement, "System!" He calls out his system.

Ding!

[System: A new portal has been appears. A new task now bee added]

Task: Clear the gate.

Reward: D rank blade, E rank shoes, F rank helmet.

Zues immediately puts on his mana towards his leg and strengthens his stands.

His blood vains show pumping his blood vessels.

The ground where he stands crack!

Boom!

He jumped in mid-air towards a building and instantly kept going upwards.

Tsss!

Mirrors shattered.

Zues kept going upward through the building walls, and once he got on top of the roof. He launched himself towards the air.

Everyone below the surface saw the scene.

"Did he just jump up and use the building walls to run up."

Zues flew towards inside the gate, leaving no time to wait.

***

Back at the tower.

Guild tower: Chameleon

Inside the tower: The room filled with luxurious.

A woman in her 40s with her thick white skin and curly grey hair with skin smooth. Her eyes were bluish, showing a unique glow.

She was wearing tight dresses, revealing her figures and curves. Her dresses show less covered up but more skin showing, like how her enormous bust was noticeable.

She was also a hunter.

Her name was Elizabeth, and she is also zues sister.

[Status:]

Race: human

Rank: A

Gender: Female

Name: Elizabeth

Position: Guild leader

She remained calm and seated.

Her assistant asked, "Your brother went inside the gate without backup. Should we inform the hunter associate?" Her voice filled with concern.

Tsk.

"No... let my idiot brother do what he wants. Besides, he already contacted me saying he doesn't need assistance," her voice filled with venomous.

It seems like she attended for his brother death.

"Prepare a funeral advance."

Her assistant nodded and said, "And if he survives?"

Elizabeth stared back at her with coldness in her expression, "If... he does. Then I will personally welcome him in, and if he fails. I'll just act and feel sorrow on his grave while I swoop the benefits of what's left on his death bed."

The assistant felt shivers through her word and immediately nodded and didn't want to know anything anymore, or she might end up disappearing without notice.

***

Night time.

Clouds form showing a drastic storm whirling in.

Thunder!

Rain slowly pouring.

Pitter-patter!

The sound of rain hitting the surface.

In the dark alleyway, a shadow figure reveals itself.

Allen scanned around and noticed a lot of crowded civilians, but the main objective was in front of him.

"Chameleon..." peering his eyes at Chameleon guild building.

"Tsk... I hope you're still there," his voice filled with sinister, and his expression shows wide grin.

His main target was Elizabeth, the guild leader.

Allen remembers she was also involved back when the world government made him the villain. The one that revealed his location was Elizabeth herself. He trusted her back then, and now he's here for revenge.
