Chapter 1 - CHAPTER 1: AN APOCALYPSE!?

"Hey darling, what are you staring at?" Shizue asked Alex, who seemed to have his mind elsewhere.

"Hm? Nothing. I just feel like something is going to happen today," Alex replied as he lay on top of the table—sighing lazily.

This action earned a chuckle from Shizue. "Today is our anniversary," she replied with a smile on her pretty face.

"Oh... yeah, I definitely remember that," Alex said as he closed his eyes and pretended to fall asleep. Shizue poked his cheek with a loving smile.

"Don't feel down on this special day," Shizue said. Alex smiled slightly. He continued to lie there and let his cute girlfriend poke his cheek—until:

"Alex, stop sleeping in class. Like seriously, why would Shizu love someone like you?" The tall and handsome basketball player—Jade Smith—said with a hint of annoyance.

"Jade! Don't call me by that nickname. Only Lexy is allowed," Shizue said coldly. Alex also wore a cold expression, but he didn't bother saying anything.

To him, doing such a thing was beneath him, and he was too lazy to argue with jealous bastards—especially those who had a crush on his girlfriend.

His girlfriend was beautiful, graceful, and most of all, kind to everyone. The entire university viewed her as the university's goddess.

Sadly, such a goddess was taken by a guy with average looks!

"Hmph," Jade snorted and took his seat. Just like everyone else, he also had a crush on the cute goddess.

A month ago, Alex had arrived as a transfer student and immediately seduced the school beauty.

Every male student was shocked and angered. They later learned that Alex and Shizue were childhood sweethearts. He had transferred to this university—something that shouldn't even have been possible.

"Ignore him. He's not worth the trouble," Alex said when he noticed Shizue almost standing up.

"B-but—"

"No buts. I don't really care what anyone else says," Alex sighed.

"Fine. I won't make things complicated," Shizue said, a complicated expression on her face.

Alex grabbed her hand with a smile. "Don't worry. I'll protect you."

"What are you talking abou—"

Before Shizue could finish her sentence, the entire class was enveloped by a red light and vanished.

...

"What's happening!?"

"W-where are we!?"

"Where's the class!?"

The entire class was shocked by the sudden transportation. What in the world was happening in this goddamn world?

"Hey A-Alex, are you okay?" Shizue noticed Alex staring blankly at the sky. With a nod, Alex calmed his girlfriend's heart and looked around.

"Where are we?" he muttered.

Even he was stunned by the sight. Countless people were running around, screaming. Zombies tore through their flesh with ruthless hunger as they hunted down humans.

This scene frightened most of the students. Luckily, they were protected by some kind of barrier.

"What the fuck is going on!? Are those zombies? Fuck!" Jade felt like the end of the world had come.

[WELCOME TO THE APOCALYPSE, HEROES OF EARTH. I'VE SUMMONED YOU HERE TO SAVE THIS CITY FROM RUIN.]

An electronic voice rang inside their heads as a system panel materialized in front of them. Everyone was stunned—except for one person.

"Yes, yes!!! Finally, I've gotten into an isekai!! I'll be the protagonist of this world!! Where's the final boss?!" a boy in a nerdy outfit exclaimed. It was obvious he was an otaku—his name was Peter.

Everyone looked at him oddly. Wasn't he being too cringe right now?

They turned their attention back to the panel in front of them.

Each of them had their own panel. Shizue poked Alex on the shoulder. "Look! It's just like in the games. And my status is Hero," she said with a pleased smile.

"O-oh, I see. Good. I'm glad to hear that." Alex stared at her panel, eyes narrowing.

NAME: SHIZUE

AGE: 20

GENDER: FEMALE

TITLE: HERO

RACE: HUMAN

LEVEL: 1

ABILITIES: NONE

He then stared at his own panel in a daze.

NAME: ALEX

AGE: 19

GENDER: MALE

TITLE: ZOMBIE MONARCH

RACE: HUMAN (Time remaining as human: 12 hours)

LEVEL: 1 (50—LOCKED)

ABILITIES: ALL LOCKED

"Umm, dear, what is your class?" Before Alex could react, his girlfriend scooched closer to him and stared at his system panel.

"..."

"..."

Alex wanted to say something, but no words came out.

Shizue stared at it for a few more seconds before chuckling. "Pfft! Did you seriously get the villain role? That's crazy."

"Um... yeah," Alex nodded. Even he felt like this was absolute nonsense.

"Don't show your panel to anyone else, understand? Even if you become a zombie, I'll just tie you up and continue loving you."

"Thanks." Alex smiled. He was definitely lucky to have such a loyal girlfriend.

The other students showed each other their classes as they flexed.

All of them—except Alex—were Heroes.

"Okay everyone, let's gather what we've collected and assess the situation in this world. First of all, Peter, mind saying a few words?"

"Guys, don't worry! I've played this game before! We've been transported to this world for what purpose? To be Heroes and defeat the Demon King! I mean, the Zombie King! First, we need to level up by killing those zombies," Peter explained everything like he'd been waiting for this chance his whole life.

Everyone looked at him oddly as he started talking about anime. He even mentioned Attack on Titan and how maybe the main character would be a zombie in this apocalypse.

"..... Ahem! Peter, we get it!" Luna sighed as she stood in front of everyone. She was the class rep—even in this apocalypse, she still maintained a calm and rational expression.

"Like Peter said, the first thing we should do is level up. The problem is, most of us don't know how to fight. And if we get bitten, just like in the movies, then I'm afraid we'll all turn into zombies," Luna said, trying to calm everyone down.

Some of the girls were frightened by the gory scene outside. This was definitely hell on earth.

"Then what should we do?" Jade asked impatiently.

Luna stared at him for a second and opened her mouth. "First, we should get out of this barrier and run toward whatever direction is safe. It's better than staying here until we die of hunger."
