1 – Doomsday Traveler
This is a dark room, a computer emits feeble radiance that illuminates the small room.
In the darkness stands a shadow, all of a sudden a hand slightly presses on the mouse, as the computer’s radiance illuminates its face.
Scarlet eyes, with the corner of the mouth slightly opened, revealing the shark like canines – with pitch-black hair, appearing to be roughly 20 years old with a pale skin reminding of Vampires.
The name of the owner of the room is Lu Qiu F. Akart – this kind of odd name was not chosen by his parents.
“Slightly hungry, ah.” He issued in a sharp voice, while parting his lips and grinding his teeth.
This room’s owner is precisely a Vampire … in the 22nd century, surviving as a Vampire.
“Sure enough, this world …” Lu Qiu moves his finger while touching the computer’s interface on the incessantly emergent dismal messages from the world 'nuclear weapons' 'environmental destruction' 'racism' 'war' and … 'massacre'.
“Might as well perish!”
As the last Vampire, Lu Qiu never had a time where he wasn’t persecuted in the human world. He always had to rack his mind to hide his identity, so he wouldn’t be nailed on a cross and incinerated into nothing by flames.1
His own younger sister was killed by a mob of humans.
While shouting 'kill that monster', this sort of lines were naturally used to strip the lives of Lu Qiu’s relatives.2
A Flame, fresh blood, a young girl’s helpless laments – no one showed any mercy to a monster.
His younger sister never harmed anyone, nevertheless that cattle mob pinned the title of 'monster' on her and ruthlessly burned her to death! Humans aren’t capable of accepting the unknown.
Lu Qiu already possessed an unbridled hate for the humans, since the time he personally witnessed that scene.
Lu Qiu wants revenge, however, he doesn’t has any means to achieve that – as a low-level Vampire, in this world that is already being polluted by the human industry.
Humans rule this world and Lu Qiu doesn’t has any power to resist.
Right until today …
‘Do you wish … world would perish?’
In Lu Qiu’s computer a window popped up with this kind of message.
Destroy … the world?
‘Do you wish this filthy world would perish? I can give you the power to do that.’
A seductive message full of malice.
While emotional, Lu Qiu’s throat chocked a bit – it’s been a long time since he consumed fresh blood. Lu Qiu permitted his instinctive reaction, as shark like teeth appeared.
Is it possible? What perish the world …… hey, this is not the April's fool’s day.
Hold on, is this not what I want?
Lu Qiu’s hand moved, mouse paused on the pop-up button ‘OK’.
But … then … nothing happened.
Is it really April’s fool’s day? Lu Qiu massaged his forehead, then glanced at the time. Approximately eight o’clock in the evening.
This way I’ll starve …
In the next moment the hunger was quenched! Lu Qiu’s pupils suddenly turned scarlet, this is the Vampire lineage's symbol for the body’s recovery!
What happened? The originally puny body, to Lu Qiu's amazement, suddenly appeared to be unimaginably powerful.
World Destruction Game? Lu Qiu held his forehead, an odd prompting voice suddenly emerged in his mind.
A series of suggestions appeared in Lu Qiu’s mind. Lu Qiu somewhat vacantly retreated behind a small table and lied down on the narrow bed. “You … what is this … thing?” Fear regarding the unknown is not only the humans’ unrelenting trait, blood absorbing species also possess it. “World Destruction … Game? What does World Destruction Game mean? Just as Lu Qiu’s normal expression returned with time, he suddenly covered his face, unable to bear it, as soft laugh arose. Interesting … fortunately, I returned to myself, it was so sudden that I couldn’t manage to react! “Then! World Destruction Game, what is your ability?” Lu Qiu’s dark pupils emitted scarlet light.: “I won’t be able to stay in my body?” The destruction degree has already reached 30%? This is a good thing pushed by humanity’s own hand. “That … is … to say, it doesn’t end with the destruction of this world?” Just like the Devil King of destruction, ah. An interesting game, ah. This game … is unexpectedly super amusing.3 “Tell me, how can you help me with the destruction of this human world?” This is crucial, this world belongs to the humans, everything belongs to them, they make the rules and they set the order. To let the world covered by human's rule shatter, that’s not an easy matter.4 Isn’t that a zombie apocalypse? Sounds quite good. They would be good partners as Lu Qiu was quite interest in those monsters, and the zombies as well would be quite smitten with him.5 And among those movies, human civilization perishing by a zombie virus is quite the common trope. Yet Lu Qiu wasn’t impetuous and continued to listen to the suggestions of the system. Zerg? As a Vampire, Lu Qiu is unable to go out, so he dwells in his home all day long. That race’s terror is clear. Although, to make humanity experience being trampled by insects as one wishes – giving them a sense of despair would feel exceptionally good as vengeance. However if it’s only Worker Insects – Lu Qiu doesn’t has the mood for a slow development! Lu Qiu wants to see the humans despair as soon as possible. Therefore, Lu Qiu prefers the zombie alternative. What’s not being mentioned is the fact that the majority, all over the world … is susceptible to this kind of quick chain infection method. It’s the fastest method to let the social order crumble. “System … give me the portion containing the virus.” Lu Qiu’s eyes emitted a strange light: “This world … it’s time to wash it clean.” In other words, the original price is 1,000 and 10,000 points, sounds quite expensive. Only, what’s the difference between an evolved zombie and a not evolved zombie? t-Virus is from the famous movie about a biochemical disaster … this type of viral infection has a zombie evolution ability. After special circumstances, it stimulates the advancement ability to a powerful zombie, such as Licker, Tyrant and so on ….. The Blacklight Virus comes from the game called Prototype, which is also a virus that can change people into zombies. However, the infection caused by the Blacklight Virus is even more destructive and aggressive than the infection caused by the t-Virus! The zombies are more powerful and evolve faster! Blacklight Virus’ viral organism Mother, that was killed by Prototype’s MC Alex Mercer, was an immortal existence. This world of humans should not be trifled with. As a Vampire, Lu Qiu is clear about it. There’s not only firearms but also those specialized in dealing with monsters such as Lu Qiu, ‘Exorcist’ or ‘Power User’. Lu Qiu all along has to hide inside this small room because of them, not daring to go out. After pondering for a moment, Lu Qiu chose to stake it all and exchanged the current Despair Points for a portion of the advanced Blacklight Virus. An Ice-cold metallic container with a swaying red liquid. Lu Qiu felt the portion’s weight while tightly holding it in his hand. This is my vengeance’s foundation! Lu Qiu didn’t went out anxiously to release this portion’s virus, instead he continued with the study of the system. “What is that Despair Points stuff? What is its benefit?” Life that falls into despair and then dies, can absorb the power of the host and then have a basic instinct to destroy the world, at the same time the system will assign a role, allowing the host to obtain additional Despair Points. Those Despair Points can strengthen the host’s body and promote the hosts abilities. The exchange needs to be done for the sole purpose of world destroying articles. The majority of the exchanged articles originate from within the host’s mind’s imagination. That is, the sentiment of despair that follows after a human’s death? For Lu Qiu, in order to understand humanity, human fantasy products also can't be ignored. Such as Hellsing, Resident Evil, Saya no Uta, Elfen Lied and the like. He also touched upon some anime games and movies. In short, Lu Qiu's mind has sufficient imagination to let this world perish. It will also allow one to evolve? Even capable of turning into a Vampire Ancestor! Reaching Cain's level.6 Hah … Lu Qiu once again covered his mouth, the corner of his lips cracked into a bigger and bigger arc. No good, ah … getting too excited … Continuing like this is quite bad, ah … "I don't know who created the system …" Lu Qiu's scarlet eyes gradually changed into vertical pupils, becoming just like a beast’s: "But in case I ever meet the creator, I really would like to become friends with him, ah! Therefore let's provide humanity with despair." Lu Qiu stood up from the bed, pushed open the door and stepped into the ice-cold night scene. 1 – Idiom: 費盡心思- to rack one’s brain ¦
