Ghoul King's Harem

Chapter 10 10: Chaos



"It's Alex! Quick everyone, Alex is finally here!" A young boy shouted.

The boy who called out was Lewis, a new student this year who idolised the wild and powerful Alex.

However, he was a little weaker in pure fencing skill when compared with Sarah; his sheer counter speed and powerful blows caused the younger boys to idolise him, along with the mature girls.

He dashed over, holding a short sword and shield, with a few bruises on him; Alex narrowed his eyes to check if the boy was infected, so he used "Eagle Eyes" on Lewis.

-Lewis Carlton | Human.

Status: Not infected!

A boy who is very passive and unable to tell the girl he likes his feelings.

However recently learned she held a crush on his beloved senior and idol "Alex Faust" since that was the case, he chose to wait and hope Sarah would one day look his way.

'Why did I look? This kid is so unlucky that girl is already mine….'

Alex didn't care about most of the club members, only helping them the bare minimum, except when Sarah or the leading members as they helped him during his first few years.

"Mmmm, are you doing well, Lewis?"

He began to remember those horrible days when his daily meal couldn't be guaranteed, and he basically lived off Sarah's money until he managed to get a part-time job at the gym, another thing she helped him get.

'Damn, that girl helped me so much in the past; let's pay her back. She loves this club after all.'

"Hey, Alex!" A cute girl, another first-year and friend of Sarah, shouted to him before quite a few of their club gathered, some were fine, but others seemed wounded.

'There are two infected.' Alex thought, looking at a very pale boy and girl lying on temporary beds in the corner.

"Well, whatever, it will give me an idea of how fast they turn; let's drink something before I die of thirst."

Alex pulled out a smaller bottle of water from his backpack, some people looking towards him while he opened the lid with a crack, gulping down the water quickly.

'It's disgusting; my thirst isn't quenched!' Alex suddenly felt the reality; he was no longer human.

To think he would realise this because of a bottle of water, something tasteless becoming even worse with an awful fishy taste, he fastened the bottle, now half full, trying to hold back the vomit as he tossed it to Lewis with a perfect arc.

"Ah! Thank you, big bro!"

"Mmmm, don't mention it."

Suddenly, the large sliding doors opened, and the white paper doors clicked as a group of women walked in, wearing a strange outfits, a mixture of eastern and western clothes, eastern warrior-like gowns, and western belts and boots.

"Everyone listen to me!" Sarah's voice boomed, filling the room as everyone turned towards her.

Sarah stood in the middle, like the boss, her right arm revealing her crimson rose tattoo while she held a lit cigarette in the right; Alex always wondered why it never smelt like tobacco but the herb wolfbane he once burned for fun.

'Strange, why do these adult women treat her like a princess?' He thought, although he knew she was the daughter of a violent gangster, Alex never pried into her business too far, knowing the pain this could cause.

"Young lady, we should leave soon; it's dangerous!"

"Young miss, we can deal with this! You must head home; the mistress has prepared…."

"Silence!"

Sarah scowled at the four women, all armed with a small pistol and eastern sword; once, she mentioned that her mother was from the fallen eastern kingdom that sank into the sea due to a natural disaster. Despite this, the people fought hard and earned land on a new continent with their robust willpower and strong morals.

"Everyone, you may have noticed or might not have, but the world is ending, and their army can do little to help; I want you all to think about how you will move forward in the future because those monsters will only get stronger."

Sarah looked around the room, seeing some resolute others were cowering in fear, yet nobody shouted out or denied her claims.

"Although this place is stable and safe for now, it was not built for daily life and cannot become our home base."

"What!?"

"No way….!"

"I can't get through to my mommy!"

The crowd finally began to stir, showing their true natures and feelings once they thought Sarah would no longer help them for an easy ride.

"Quiet," Sarah's voice was quiet, but everyone stopped speaking instantly.

"I will ask everyone, have you all heard that woman's voice, the one calling herself god?"

"Yes!"

"I heard it too!"

Many people began to speak out, Lewis included, while Alex narrowed his eyes, watching the two people convulse. At the same time, their friends tried to feed them water and food into their mouths which ended up being a waste, as they vomited dirty blood.

"Then you all know that to survive, we must fight and evolve!"

Sarah's mouth opened, showing a sharp pair of canines; however, nobody noticed; even Alex didn't look towards her, failing to see that the women around her also had sharp fangs and wild-looking eyes.

"I don't want to fight… I'm scared!" a first-year girl began to sob, comforted by her friends who supported her views.

Suddenly, two people stopped smelling delicious to Alex before he slowly stood up, while Sarah continued speaking while walking towards the corner, his silver sword glimmering in the light.

"Then what would you do if your loved ones need help? Will you continue to sit here like a waste of life, crying and bawling for someone to save you? Don't make me laugh!"

Sarah's voice was loud, filled with a fierce and desperate tone, trying to get her friends and fellow club members to rally their spirits. She wanted them to understand that humanity was in grave danger; soon, her kind would swarm the cities and take their territory after wiping out the zombies.

"What's wrong, Mary? What are you moving like that! A-argh!? Somebody help!"

The student named "Mary" no longer existed as her corpse pushed down her friend, biting into her cheek before tearing her flesh while piercing her throat with sharp claws.

Dark red blood began to ooze from her body while the zombie feasted on her face; moments later, the boy beside her, "Charles", also began to move again, his face pale, eyes white; within less than fifteen minutes, they both became walking corpses.

"Hey, whiny little bitches." Alex said with a rough and deep voice.

His powerful arm reached out, not even using his sword, grasping "Mary" by her matted head and lifting her up, stomping on the half-conscious girl on the floor, crushing her skull into meat paste.

'Sorry, but you were dead either way; I can't risk my secret to be out just yet.'

Alex lifted "Mary high with one arm, displaying her to the entire crowd who retreated beside Sarah, now protected by several guards quickly drawing their long katanas with fierce wolf-life faces.

He waited till they stopped bitching, his right leg shooting out towards "Charles like a whip, crushing his kneecaps with a loud crack before the zombie fell to the tatami mats with a thud, slowly crawling towards Alex.

"Sarah was trying to be polite, but I won't be. Why the fuck are you balling and crying? Do you think these things will suddenly stop if you cry and beg for mercy?" Alex shouted, his eyes glowing a fierce colour.

The blood of the girl "Mary" killed excited him as he felt hungry for the first time since the world changed.

"But!?"

Alex pushed the zombie in his hand towards the people that complained or spoke out, his steps like that of a grim reaper while the zombie struggled in his hand, before a crack sounded, as his powerful fingers crushed part of the zombie's skull, seeming to slow her down.

"Ah!?"

"Get away!"

Several of the younger students were filled with panic; however, he didn't stop, moving closer as his eyes narrowed with a twisted smile.

"Use the items given to you at the start, and you can become this strong!"

Bang! Crack, Alex smashed the corpse into the floor, her entire face and upper body crushed into meat paste; his body swivelled around, with a neat half turn, before slashing down with his right arm.

A silver light flashed as his blade decapitated the other zombie, with another orb of white entering his body along with the red coins.

"Sarah is too nice, but she cannot protect you all, right? There is no other choice if you want to live."

The moment he was going to try to convince them with a softer tone, to help Sarah rally the students.

Alex could tell from the way those women spoke she needed to leave, and it was probably because of her family or mother.

Thud! The south door slammed open, the only door which was not blocked fully, as several wounded boys entered; they were in the same year as Alex, and some were familiar faces; sadly, they broke the tension causing Alex to frown and give up helping these cowards.

"We have to leave! Sarah, we lost Matt and Spica!"

Sarah looked serious; those two were slightly weaker than Alex before the change, stepping forward and ignoring the cowering first years and random students.

"What's the matter?"

"A mass of those monsters is approaching; a huge colossal mutant is leading them!" A girl who was missing half her right arm shouted.

Alex checked her, only to nod and relax; this girl wasn't infected and must have lost that arm in an accident or that "Mutant" she mentioned.

"Mutant?" Sarah and Alex asked at the same moment. Some group members looked at him with wry smiles, mostly the boys, as he stood beside Sarah as if naturally.

However, before they even heard a response, they could already hear it; both of their hearing were far beyond humans, even the improved humans.

'Feet? Countless moving feet, enough to make the ground shudder…' Alex thought to himself while Sarah sniffed the air, able to smell the incoming corpses from the sheer level of the disgusting smell from the east.

"How many?" Sarah asked with a husky voice, not even faking her smile anymore as she gave a pensive look behind her, feeling slight despair.

"Maybe two hundred, but that's just the first wave…." One of the more level-headed boys answered. His name was Brian, with dark brown hair and eyes.

"Sarah, we need to move now! We cannot fight that many of them; they are all coming this way!" A silver-haired boy spoke with an arrogant voice; this boy seemed to have problems with Alex.

Thus they never got along in the past.

"Can anyone drive?" Alex asked, his face looking towards the small store; he would not abandon her there. He didn't care about anybody in this school apart from Sarah and Claire; as for the others, he might try to help them, but nothing serious.

'I'm glad my dorm brothers are away now; let's hope they are doing fine at home.'

However, before anyone could answer, a huge rock suddenly smashed through the eastern wall, crushing more than five students as the rocks split apart, pierced their skulls, and destroyed their bodies.

"!?"

In the panic after the smoke, dust and blood cleared, almost all the younger students began to flee in random directions, some trampled by the other students, with loud cracking sounds and wails.

'Idiots…' Alex thought, watching the voluptuous body of Sarah tremble from the sounds and embarrassing actions.

A huge zombie, more than 2 metres in height, could be seen from the hole, grasping another huge piece of debris it tore from an old, abandoned building site, pulling back his arm and tossing it forward like throwing a pebble.

With the sound of air being torn apart with a huge woosh, the boulder began to descend from the east.

"Everyone get away from the eastern wall! Hurry and rush outside!" Sarah shouted, her body like lightning as she dashed outside, quickly holding her katana that shimmered in the moon's light.

"Can't let her go alone!"

Alex dashed behind her at a slower speed, but his gait and balance were more balanced; he looked to the east with a strange smirk and flashing eyes.

His first true fight against the undead was about to begin.
