《Apocalyptic World, Cheat》Chapter 4: Contract with a Demon
Advertisement
The night went eventful as nothing big happened except one or two zombies wandering around the areas that are easily killed.
“Wake up! I can see the sun finally rising!” I whisper and nudge the 3 sleeping bearded man. They then let out a grunt and finally one of the open their eyes. “Ok, finally you are up. Please wake your friends while I clean up the camp.” I said as I walk toward the campfire that already out of the fire and took the utensil and bowl that are laying around.
After a while, I finished clean up the area and the trio already has woken up and brought their camp and mine to their car.
“Jason, Aiden get ready! We’re going to adventure once more~” I said as I hum and sit into the chair and ready to drive. Then Jason and Aiden waked up so fast that they accidentally hit their head together, Causing myself to chuckle.
“Don’t laugh! And it’s not an adventure.. It’s hell mom..” Jason said as he pouts. Aiden beside him just cuddle to the teddy bear and his blanket and nodding at Jason as he agrees with what his brother was saying.
I then shrug,
*Bzzttt
*Bzzttt
*Bzzttt
*Bzzttt
*Bzzttt
“Alright, ready? Nope? It’s ok.. We still going to drive anyway!” I said as I look at the map.
[ Map Navigation skill created ]
[ Map Navigation Lv.1 ]
“Finally..” I mumble as I sip into my double shot vanilla frappe canned drink that I secretly pulled up through my inventory. Grateful for the skill that I learn, I then hit the gas slowly and drive to the main road trying to follow the map beside me.
Biting my lower lips in frustration, I then let out a groan. Why? I'm still thinking on what is a good possibility on the camp is not located to the place that we are going to go. And if that is happening, that's mean we will have another 'road trips' and I am not liking it one bit!
As it could be located in other state, and that will be taking me about 2 to 4 days! And that is a non-stop drive. Which I don't think I could do that, as I notice that Jason start to get motion sickness and having us to stop multiple times on the road.
Oh, what if it's on the foreign country as well?
As I know that the sea will have more stronger monster. Call it a gut feeling, as it's never wrong. And I don't ever want that to happened.
At all.
Looking at the still worked traffic light who is currently on yellow, I ignore and still drive as usual. Then a flash can be seen from the back, where the trio car was.
*Bzzttt
I then shrug, because it's already happening to me multiple times. And not only that, isn't that a mechine that working with it?
*Bzzttt
*Bzzttt
*Bzzttt
*Bzzttt
*Bzzttt
*Bzzttt
*Bzzttt
*Bzzttt
Grumbling in annoyance then I finally glad that the surround us is trees as I can hide the cars.
. . .
“I hope this shit worked,” I mumble as I sit into the gravel of the road. Looking at the shop for any skill that can do a huge amount of damage in the area then I smugly look as I watch the skill name.
[ Demon Bifrons Contract ] -10,000 C
[ A demon that appears as a man, And will obey all of your wishes as you feed them with the soul of the enemies. Can only summon for once per day. A mark will be shown the proof as a summoner once bought. ]

I then buy the skill. Deep red glowing lines then carved into my right hand then blood was shown but then healed. “Well, I am guessing that shit is expensive and this is just a prove that I just sign a contract with a demon? I have sinned..” I whisper and once again chuckle.
Looking at the three triangles with some demonic alphabet mark on my wrist I sigh in defeat. But then I let out a forceful smile as I keep telling myself that this is the price of to get stronger.
Then suddenly a police car then drive my way from far away. I then grip my shotguns ready myself to protect myself. As the car went closer, I can see human faces from the glass window.
“HEY!! Finally! A survivor!” One of the police screams in happiness, Yet I still hold the shotguns aiming to their heads.
. . .
“Ah, So there are another survivor too?! Yes! And what do you mean it’s not the capital where the base is placed?” Keith says as he frustratedly holding his head.
“Hey! Don't be blaiming us. we are also confused, but the higher up order us to make sure collect the civilian survivor first and make sure the area is good so we can moved from Longmont to Denver.” The police say, If I had not looked at his descriptions I am sure as hell I ain't believing him.
“You sure the authorities is not another monster dressing up as one?” I asked as I place Aiden in a comfortable place so he can nap and then let Jason get closer to me the snuggle me.
“Yes, we are sure. And I have heard about that monster shown up with intelligence and not some brainless zombies that we have been meeting.” The second police said, Then we all nod as we never expect this to have happened. "But I assure you guys, We are a real police officer."
“Oh, and we have some Heroes too! Heroes is a term we use for those human with super strength or some kind of other power that you can all think of. We have 3 on the current base and hoping more of them soon.. Is any of you guys a Hero or maybe Heroes?” The Police looking at us expectedly and with hopes.
“Mama is one!! She can make this green light to make us all patched up and she is super strong!!” Aiden said as he hugs me proudly. My heart then stops, I am not used as the center of the attention, I am that girl who wants to hide from that!
“Really?! Thank god, now we can save ourself from zombies..” The Police then let out a relieved sigh,
“Uh, you notice that it is not just zombies that we need to be concerning right now, right? I have been in a fight with goblins and ghost. And those trios with the werewolf who I am sure to have 50 percent of the alive populations on their paws. With that, I believe there are more variety of species that we are dealing with.” I said as I try to remind the world that we live on.
They then solemnly look down, “Yea, we know. It's just that we are the police but somehow we are so goddamn useless..” One of them whisper and the other one nod himself as he listen to his friend confession.
“Cool, now let’s go to the base!”
. . .
“We got some new people, This man is James, Gabriel and Keith. And beside Jerry is Allie and her two sons Aiden and Jason. Good news, Allie is one of the heroes, but still not sure what’s her power is.” Peter, Police one said and tell the 50 or more populations of the people.

I then checked their levels and all of them is still one level. Thinking I didn’t found this other ‘Heroes’ I let myself disappointed. Maybe those 3 is busy to hunt some zombies to level up and that is why they are not here.
“Jack! Rose! Lily! Come here, Meet you guys new commander!” Then a guy with two girls then come to our way. One of the girl waved to our way shyly, and the other girl just shown a disdain at our faces which caused the trios plus the kids to hide behind me growling lowly at her.
“Hello there, I’m guessing that you are our new Heroes yea? Cool! I am Jack, That one that are shy is Lily and the other girl is Rose. Don’t mind her, she just think that she is all powerful because her power is fire..” Jack then shrug, which caused Rose to glare at him and let out a huff.
I am here guessing that each person earn a different power and I am the fortunate one with the gamer power in here.
[ Jack White ]
[ Lv.5 ]
[ Rose Gold ]
[ Lv.7 ]
[ Lily Woods ]
[ Lv.3 ]
Looking at their level, It is obvious that they are still a noobs. And here I thought I am the noobs, “So I’m guessing that Rose have fire power, and what about you guys?” I then ask curiously.
Yet looking at their level, it satisfy my egos.
“Huh? Oh, my power is super strength I guess, I can punch a brick and it can shattered!” Jack said, I am guessing that is something to be proud of considering his bony body?
“Ah.. Uh.. I- I can heal.. I mean, Kind of.. I can only heal scratches.. And not a big wound..” Lily said as she then hid herself with her blonde lock of hairs.
Then suddenly Rose sniff, “What about you? I’m guessing that you are not useless like her yes?” She then look at me judgingly.
“Hmm, I can call myself a blacksmith I guess,” I shrug not telling them anything and deciding to keep it myself. Then I look at Aiden and Jason, The two got my sign to be quiet and zip their lips.
The trio then look confused at me as they already see my power when we were camping and fighting the zombies but choose to be quiet as well.
“Oh, So you basically another useless person! Ugrh! Now you all going to be depend on me once more,” Rose then huff and walk arrogantly away from us. And I could see other people see her fearfully and moved away and give her path. Then Jack and Lily following her from the back.
“I don’t like her mom, Can you Bash her please?” Jason said as she look at Rose back distainly, Then the Trio nod themself. “Agree with the kiddos, Give her a good beating please, for this old man..” James said and the two nod at him.
“Oh, I will.. She will found herself losing some of her energies each time we meet..” I darkly chuckle.
Finally, I could find a use for the Energy drain.
. . .
“Zombie Waves coming!! Get into the base and Heroes prepare to go to the battle!!” One of the police scream, causing the civilian to run inside the base.
That was fast.
“Ok, Follow the three uncles yea? They will protect you guys,” I said as I kiss the two head, “And you three, please guard them for me,” I said and the three nod and pick the two and run inside of the building.
I then equipped myself with Goblin King Mace, The mace is giant but with my high strength I can lift it with ease. Running to the frontline I then see the other three. Without any weapon except Jack with a wooden stick.
“How are you guys alive with that kind of weapon?” I ask quietly, Then suddenly Lily answer beside me.
“We don’t know, This is our first waves..” She said with a fearful glance toward the zombies. Looking around I can finally notice that the other people were shaking.
"No other weapon that you guys own?" I then ask them, not even offering to help them on that.
Then I sigh, “Then why did you gloat to us that we will depend on you once again?” I asked Rose, she then went quiet and didn’t answer my annoyed question,
Then suddenly as I see the zombies got near, Looking around it seems that no one will move any second. Grumbling, I then run to the zombies and lift my Mace and keep bashing the head of the zombies ignoring their blood in my shirt.
“MOVE AND ATTACK DAMMIT!” I scream in annoyed tone as I already kill about 4 zombies and the 3 ‘Heros’ still not moving and fearfully looking at the zombies. And I think I could see a water stain bellow Lilly.
"Did she just piss on herself?" I then ask myslef as I mumble,
After awhile, They finally moved. The fire power Rose have is a small ass fire that barely do shit! “What the fuck is that shit? Use it like you mean it dammit! Do you want all of us die because of your incompetence power?! What is that small ass fire? Are you trying to burn a marshmallow instead of zombies here?!” I scream and actually inside I enjoy mocking her as Karma is a bitch.
But seriously,
If you got a fire power, why is it not a grand like power? Why is it showed up so small like a fucking marshmellow size of a fire?
Jack then keep waving his useless stick and decided to throw it away and used his hand instead. “You Dumbass! What if you got bitten?!” I scream out in rage as I can already see the useless team I have gone into.
“I- I will heal it..” Lily small voice then stuttered in the middle of the battle, “You barely can heal a scratch and now you say you could heal a bitte from a zombies?” I said as I swing my mace causing the head of the zombies to shattered from its body and blood cover up everywhere.
After all my talk no one seems saying anything and just fighting the zombies with all of their might. Rose with her small shitty fire, Jack with his hand hoping it will snap or break and Lily with her useless self running.
What is this useless team for God/Demon Sake?!
Is this the punishment from God as I make a contract with a demon?!
If so!
I am sorry dammit!!
