Apocalypse Regression's

Self Reminder

In the afternoon.

"Hey, Ark! Can we talk?"

Sitting while propping up his chin on the back porch of the house, Jay asked with a lazy expression.

"Tell me what you want."

Ark replied in a flat tone.

"How did you do it?"

"..."

"Didn't you hear it? Then I'll repeat it. Are-"

"You must have been intentional."

Ark who was in the backyard of the house stepped back. He dodged to the right and left. In front of him, appeared the figure of Abigail swinging a wooden sword with her serious expression.

"I'm serious! I mean...Even if Abigail is an amateur, how can you avoid her attack blindfolded?"

"I've said .. when one sense is closed, the other senses will actually become sharper, trying to patch up the shortcomings of the lost senses."

Having a black cloth covering his eyes, Ark continued to dodge Abigail's attacks. This made the woman feel very ashamed.

Clearly, Abigail had drunk five glasses of evolutionary potions, her strength would have been above that of a normal human. However, that woman really still could not hit Ark once!

"Stop pranking Abigail! That's not funny at all!

If you want, let me be your opponent!"

Natasha's angry voice sounded. Disregarding the woman's anger, Ark replied in a flat tone.

"Not for now. Right now only Abigail is fit to be my opponent.

I had just learned to develop my senses, and Abigail had also not long ago started practicing swordsmanship. So we fit in."

"Coward!"

"..."

Hearing Natasha's disgruntled remark, Ark did not care at all.

His intention to do this was to sharpen his senses. That thing just in case. If in the future he encountered an enemy capable of spraying mist or substances that made it difficult to see, he could still fight.

In addition, if he has gotten used to it, he can also fight in quite extreme conditions such as dark places, foggy places, or maybe when there is a sandstorm. Whatever it is, Ark believes that this ability is still very useful!

That was in addition to closing his eyes, Ark also prevented himself from using his detection ability. So, he really only used his own senses. Of course, the various senses had also been enhanced due to evolution.

Ark determined Abigail's position from footsteps, the sound of sword swings, and the gusts of wooden swords as it tried to slash or stab her. Moreover, although it sounded somewhat embarrassing, he also faintly smelled the scent of Abigail's body.

Sensors of hearing, smell, and touch.

The sound of footsteps, the sound of slashes, the scent of wood, the scent of Abigail's body, the touch of the wind from the slash that touched her skin ... Ark tried to use all of that as a map frame to determine where he would be attacked.

That's why, Ark felt that Jay was deliberately disturbing himself for talking. This obviously made his concentration break. Not to mention, Jay's voice was also very disturbing to him. Making the young man even more difficult to determine everything simultaneously.

"Enough."

Ark stopped and said in a flat tone. The young man then opened his blindfold. Gazing towards the woman in front of him, he began to cheer.

"You didn't do it badly at all. Your moves are better than ever."

"How did you know? You close your eyes, Ark."

Jay's words made Ark's lips twitch. Sighing, he retorted.

"Of course I "see" in another way. Otherwise, shouldn't I have been beaten?"

"That's not wrong." Jay held his chin while nodding lightly.

"Thank you everyone, I'll practice even better!"

Abigail said with a gentle expression on her face. I feel grateful for the kindness of all of them.

"Since Mr and Brother Abigail have finished training, how about we also train, Brother Jay?"

The figure of Stacy who had previously practiced herself turned towards Jay who was sitting while lazing.

"I'm really not in a good mood. I'm quite surprised, why are you so excited after making the first evolution?"

"..."

Hearing Jay who said in a senior to junior tone, the corner of Ark's lips twitched.

'It seemed that it was not worth saying by someone who jumped up and down because of the spirit after evolving. Not to mention, that person also had a burning spirit in hunting zombies.'

Ark thought as he stared at Jay.

Sensing Ark's gaze, Jay was at a loss as to what to say. Of course the man was embarrassed because his own best friend knew what he was like when he passed the first evolution. It's just, he really doesn't want to serve the bad girl, Stacy.

"Jay has to train Darin, so you better train with Natasha."

Ark said in a relaxed tone. He then turned his eyes to Natasha and continued.

"Of course, you have to hold back. Otherwise, you might be scolded for injuring this Miss Police."

"..."

Hearing Ark's innuendo, Natasha gritted her teeth. He could only glare at the young man without actually resisting. After all, after learning that Ark had made the first evolution .. clearly Natasha knew that she could not fight him yet.

Not to mention, it seems that Ark has a lot of fighting skills. Even if Ark hadn't made an evolution, Natasha wouldn't have dared to underestimate him. Especially now that you know the truth.

'Just wait! I will repay you!'

Natasha thought as she recalled the treatment she had gotten from Ark.

It's just, an important event that happened after dinner.

"We need a name!!!"

Jay kicked the table with a serious look on his face. Nathan and Nala are shocked and embrace their mother.

Realizing that he was startling the children, Jay scratched the back of his head with an awkward expression. Pretending to cough, he immediately looked at Ark then said.

"I mean .. the name of our group. As you know, we have met two other groups. Even if it was just a bunch of thugs, they still had the name of the group.

Yes ... although I'm not coming, but I know that we need a name. After all, there's no way we're just saying "our group" to the people who ask, right?"

Ark did not care much, but seeing how the other members agreed, he simply shrugged and said.

"Then you give me advice."

"King of Kings!!!" jay said confidently.

"Too arrogant and flashy, rejected."

Ark said with a flat expression.

"Pfft .. It seems you have no talent in making names." Natasha said with a mocking expression. "Mighty Warriors! Doesn't that sound good?"

"Sounds a bit tacky, has no deep meaning, is rejected."

Ark propped up his chin while answering flatly.

Just then, Nala's figure raised her hand with a timid expression. Everyone looked at her, making the girl feel somewhat scared.

"Just tell me what you think, Nala."

"W-How about Thousand Sunflowers?"

"A thousand sunflowers, sounds beautiful and bright."

Hearing Ark's words, Nala smiled.

"Only, too bright and beautiful for this gloomy world. Sorry, rejected."

"..."

Nala was immediately disappointed. Meanwhile, Jay and Natasha are dumbfounded. They really didn't expect Ark to tease and sadden the innocent little girl!

"Annu ..." Abigail raised her hand.

"Yes?"

Ark and the other members stared at Abigail. The mother of two was a bit nervous, but still spoke.

"It seems you've chosen a name, Mr. Ark. Why not just say it?"

"..."

Abigail's words instantly made Natasha and Jay stunned. They immediately stared at Ark with an angry expression.

"Why don't you just say it, Ark! You made us think of those names!"

"Actually I don't want to think too much about this. I want to name Gods Slayer, Gods Eater, or something like that. But I myself know the name is too flashy and exaggerated. So ...

Let's call it Sword of Sufferings."

"Huh?! What kind of name is that?"

Natasha disagreed. Meanwhile, Jay said.

"How about the Sword of Destiny? The Sword of Freedom? The Sword of Hope?

I mean, those names carry hope. Sufferings (Suffering) .. the name was a bit too gloomy."

Ark still propped up his chin while answering.

"It's been decided, the name of our group is Sword of Sufferings. If anyone disagrees ...

You can fight me. If you win, you can change your name to what you want."

"..."

Hearing Ark's words, they were all speechless. Clearly, they were aware that they could not beat the chairman. What shocked them was Ark's determined attitude to use that gloomy name.

Since there was no one to oppose, from then on too .. their group name was Sword of Sufferings.

Of course, Ark chose this name not because of a fad. He had not used this name in his previous life either. However, the young man had good reason to use the name.

The name Ark was created based on his life experience.

They, the human race fell into the bottom of the food chain. They, the human race, always suffer when the world changes.

Ark didn't really want to live this way. He wants to experience a peaceful life. He even made a purpose in life.

After his younger brother graduated and worked, Ark planned to retire from his job. He wanted to use his savings to buy land and build a house in the countryside. Live there peacefully while farming and raising. It is not necessary to be rich, but to be able to relax and enjoy life. He even thought of keeping a cat that would accompany his days.

Only, all his plans were broken due to apocalypse.

Ark did not want to fight, but the world forced itself to grasp the sword and fight. Ark no longer wanted to see blood, but he always stepped on a pool of blood in each step. What Ark wanted was hope and happiness, but all he got was despair and suffering.

So, the name was actually Ark used to remember.

Reminds her that she is just a little creature trying to destroy all despair and suffering with a sword in her hand. Even if he achieved much, he would also continue to remember that he was nothing in front of the cruel world. Makes himself continue to feel the bitterness ...

So that he will continue to try to continue to move forward no matter what happens. Not even feeling arrogant and complacent.
