Apocalypse Regression's

Bad joke

A few years ago.

At night, on top of a tall building. Sitting on the edge of the roof, Ark's figure stared at the sea of stars in space without a word. A gust of night wind gently struck his face.

Behind Ark, there was a beautiful girl standing quietly.

They both wear black clothes. A suit made specifically for infiltrating and fighting.

"I don't know how we got so close, Archie. In fact, I really remember that I hit you a lot in training."

Hearing the half-joking remark from the girl, the corner of Ark's lips twitched. He looked towards the girl. Looking at the girl's pretty face, the young man could only sigh deeply.

"What's? Are you in love with me, Archie?"

"Mrs ..."

Having a somewhat irritated expression on his face, Ark muttered in a low voice.

"Don't call my name at will. Other than that ..."

Ark looked towards Anya's chest which was flat like an airport without saying anything. The young man immediately looked away with a sinister smile on his face.

"What the fuck with that look?! It's really rude!!"

Having an annoyed expression with a slight red hue on her cheek, Anya shouted to Ark in a displeased tone. He sat down near the young man.

Glancing at the expressionless handsome face, Anya smiled gently before looking at the stars in the sky then said back.

"Honestly, even though we were close to a draw, you were really always in front of me. In the training period, I never got first place. What's more ...

You really have the heart because you have absolutely no restraint even when dealing with a girl!"

"..."

Knowing Ark did not respond at all, Anya kept talking.

"By the way, have you ever thought, Archie? Are we wrong to have walked this path?

I mean .. We take other people's lives to live. You know—"

"I have no regrets."

Ark interrupted immediately. The young man's stern words instantly made Anya surprised. The girl looked at him with a face full of questions.

"If you don't do it, my brother and I won't live. It may sound hypocritical if I say that there is no other choice but this path, but ...

If they say we are wrong. Why do they never show us the right way? Why didn't they try to help us when we were trampled to death in a muddy alley?

This speech may be cruel, but I do not regret smearing this hand with blood. As long as I can make the people I love live more comfortable and happy .. that's enough."

Hearing that, Anya laughed softly.

"That's what I admire about you, Archie. Although we both do this because we are the backbone of the family ...

Unlike me who is so wishy-washy, you are really firm and focused on your goals."

Looking towards Ark, Anya smiled. While feeling the gust of wind blowing her hair, the girl thought.

'That's why I like you too. People who are cold, but want to do everything for the people you love.'

Their eyes were turned toward the shooting star. Looking at the scene, Anya suddenly said.

"I don't know if we can live happily ever after. I don't know if we deserve that happiness either. I doubt and worry, so I may lose my direction and purpose.

If that really happens and I can't go back. I hope ..."

"You're gonna kill me and end it all, Archie."

Anya's remark made Ark who looked at her suddenly startled.

"Basic fool. How could a wishy-washy girl like you do such things."

Ark turned his gaze to the sky, not wanting to discuss such things. However, he suddenly felt a soft hand holding his hand.

"Please, Archie!"

Hearing that, Ark was silent for a moment. Holding back Anya's hand, the young man said.

"If it does happen, I promise that I will end all your suffering."

***

'In the years since, you have been arrested and considered insane for killing dozens of people in a large family in one night.

But after I investigated everything. It happened because they had killed your two sisters.

If it was me, I would have done the same.'

Ark stared at the figure of Anya who had become a zombie. Looking towards the broken chain that was supposed to bind the woman, the young man's expression became grim.

"So that's why you failed to survive in the early waves of zombies. It even became the figure that led thousands of zombies to attack the human sanctuary a few years later."

Ark muttered softly. Muddy memories of his promise to Anya appear. In his previous life, having no time, he just kept thinking about how to survive and look for his sister. Not thinking about anything else at all.

Yes ... Although eventually he also failed to find the traces of his sister who had disappeared without rest.

But this time, Ark had thought of his promise. Not only because of the promise, but whatever happens ..he must defeat the zombies to prevent bad things that will happen in the future.

At that moment, Anya's zombies stared towards the Ark. Not having an expression on his face that had changed from a beautiful angel to a monstrous demon.

Just then, dozens of other zombies stared at Ark and roared loudly with crazy expressions on their faces. They instantly rushed towards the Ark, trying to tear the young man apart as if he was their nemesis!

"If you survive, with your talent, you should also be able to awaken talent like me and we can become a great team like before. Unfortunately ..."

Ark threw a spear in his hand, directly piercing through the bodies of some zombies and making them like satay. He immediately pulled two katanas from his waist.

Having a cold expression on his face, the young man muttered softly.

"It seems the world likes to make jokes that aren't funny to us."

Swooshes!

Ark's figure instantly shot out with incredible speed. He's decapitated some zombie heads. Dodging some other zombie attacks, the young man immediately rushed towards the direction of Anya zombie.

Arriving in front of his former partner, Ark slashed straight towards the neck quickly. But at that time ...

Swooshes! KLANG!

Anya's zombie figure reflexively dodged and directly attacked with a whipping motion using a long chain in her hand. One chain in the other hand also directly aimed at Ark's neck, but the young man immediately parried it.

The two took a few steps back and looked at each other in silence.

At that moment, Ark opened his mouth.

"Isn't this a very bad joke ... Anya?"
