Zita's face was pale and she was keeping herself from vomiting.

Suup!

Crack!

She was holding a dagger and stabbing it into a zombie's head as she cracked it open.

Nathan was sitting on a bench not far away with a cigarette on his right hand and a bottle of water on his left. He watched her extract and gather Nuclei from the zombie heads.

All of them.

This was one of the ideas he thought of on how to eliminate her fear of the zombies.

As much as he wants to continue their journey now, she would only be a liability at this point.

And plus, this is Muwin, a third-world country.

As much as he was proud of being an Asian and he feels comfortable here because it's his home country, he wasn't going to bet on the mindset of the people here.

He was born and raised here so he knows all too well what kind of mindset the people here have.

He saw Zita slid her tiny hands into the zombie's head and took out a Nucleus.

Spit!

She spat on the side and wipe her mouth with her arm before sending the Nucleus to the pile of Nuclei that she gathered.

"Kid, better hurry up. We don't have much time. You still have to open the treasure chests next and then we still have to eat lunch after."

She went to open another zombie head.

Nathan swept his gaze around the area.

The place where they landed was in Fleu Town which was located 4.5km away from Latif City.

It wasn't his fault though -- at least according to his logic.

First of all, it was his first time flying a helicopter, and seeing Kulerga from the sky and trying to find Latif City was a bit hard. If he had more time, he could've landed in the right location. But he was welcomed by the M2s and then things happened and he was forced to land here.

However, if he were to be honest, there was some part of him that didn't mind their current situation because it's been 3 years since he was exiled from Latif City and he never set foot here ever since, not even on the entire island of Kulerga.

So it gave him a little more time to prepare mentally.

'Damn it's so hot.'

He raised his head and looked at the sky.

It was cloudy but there was no wind.

'I forgot about the weather here in brown-skinned Asian countries. Wearing these System items is too hot. I'm going to die from dehydration.'

The attire he was wearing was for a country like Womania that has 4 seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter.

***

An hour later…

Zita was finally done with extracting all of the Nuclei.

She was thirsty from all the spitting she had done and the weather also caused her to perspire a lot.

She was after all an Iskaldia where it's cold almost 80% of the year.

She also felt like crying and at the same time was angry because of what Nathan made her do.

That extracting chore was really disgusting.

'This is so yucky!!!' she thought to herself.

"You're finally done. Good. I was getting hungry," Nathan said as he casually walked towards the small mountain of Nuclei that she gathered.

She looked at him but didn't say anything.

He absorbed it and then said, "Now let's check the treasure chests."

"Okay…"

They gathered all the treasure chests. There were blue ones and green ones.

"Open the [Green] Treasure Chests first. And remember to sort the items by type."

On the side, there were 5 cloths laid out on the ground.

One cloth for the potions.

Another for the weapons.

Another one for the spellbooks.

Another one again for the rings and amulets.

And the last and final cloth which was the largest was for the helmets, armors, gloves and boots.

"Okay."

She opened the first one and inside was a [Grade D] Repair Kit.

She placed the [Grade D] Repair Kit on its designated cloth.

Nathan was observing on the side.

On the second treasure chest, inside was a spellbook.

On the third treasure chest, it was a [Grade D] Small Healing Potion.

On the fourth treasure chest, it was a [Grade D] Ring.

On the fifth treasure chest, it was an equipment that looked like a loincloth.

When Nathan saw Zita taking out the loincloth and bringing it over to its designated cloth, he said, "Kid, wait. Give me that."

Zita gave him the loincloth and resumed opening treasure chests.

When he touched the loincloth, the System informed him that it was a [Grade D] Loincloth (Male) (15/15): +2 Agi, +1 Int and it was an armor-type item.

'What the fuck?'

Back in Womania, he knew for a fact that the only reason why he gained so many loots was because he killed a lot of zombies... and people.

'What is this? I never encountered this kind of item back in Womania. The armors I've looted there were Leather Armor, Heavy Leather Armor. And inside the Divine Tower, from fighting the angels, they drop Black and White Heavy Leather Armor.'

He glanced at Zita and squinted his eyes.

This time, the item she took out from the treasure chest looked like a transparent sheet with a tribal tattoo printed on it.

"Kid, give me that one as well."

Zita looked at Nathan and thought, 'I don't understand this mister. If he's just going to take the items right now, what's the use of laying out the cloths? Couldn't he just open the treasure chests by himself and make them disappear like he usually does?'

Nevertheless, she still gave him the sheet.

When Nathan touched it, the System informed him that it was a [Grade D] Tribal Sparrow Tattoo (15/15) +3 INT and it was also an armor-type item.

It was a rectangular transparent sheet that was as large as a book and the tattoo design was color dark green.

He squinted his eyes and thought, 'Another item that I've never seen in Womania.'

He stared at the two items on his hand and thought about it for a second.

'If what I suspect is true, then -- No,' he shook his head, 'It's still too early. I must conduct more research before making a conclusion.'

He placed them on their designated cloth.

Zita continued opening the remaining [Green] Treasure Chests.

She got potions and spellbooks.

Nathan decided to investigate the spell books as well in case there was a difference.

They were [Fireball] and [Sword Stab].

'Still the same spells. No difference here. But inside the Divine Tower I was able to loot a... I think it was [Summoned Skeleton]? Or was it [Skeleton Warrior]? I can't remember. Anyways, that was a spellbook I've never seen outside the Divine Tower and I traded it with that military guy.'

And on the last [Green] Treasure Chest, Zita got a [Grade D] Kris Sword.

When Nathan saw it, it immediately caught his interest.

"Kid, please hand that over to me," he said with a somewhat impatient tone.

Zita gave it to him.

When he got it, he smiled and immediately gave it a few swings.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Zita, on the other hand, continued opening treasure chests. This time it was the blue ones.

Nathan stopped and then began reciting a monologue from one of his favorite video games of all time, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. To him, it has the most epic intro ever. And no matter what anyone says, although part 2 is better in many aspects, including the story, in terms of intro, part 1 was simply unbeatable.

"Kain is deified…"

"The clans tell tales of him…"

"Few know the truth…"

"He was mortal once as were we all…"

"However, his contempt for humanity drove him to create me and my brethren…"

"I am Raziel, firstborn of his lieutenants…"

"I stood with Kain and my brethren at the dawn of the Empire…"

"I have served him a millennium…"

"Over time we became less human and more divine…"

"Kain would enter the state of change and emerge with a new gift…"

"Some years after the master our evolution would follow…"

"Until I have the honor of surpassing my lord…"

"For my transgression...'

"I earned a new kind of reward…'

"Agony!"

Unfortunately, that's all he can remember.

'Sigh… What is that company who created this legendary game franchise doing?! There was already a part 4 and they even released a demo but they canceled it!'

'If you can't make a part 4, at least make a remake just like the other classic legendary games! For the love of God, even that little dragon game had a remake!'

'But this game, this epic legendary game that has so many fans waiting...!'

'Oh why, oh why?!'

'A legendary game franchise wasted for nothing!'

'And now we're in a zombie apocalypse…'

'Sigh... I have no choice but to finally accept the fact that such a future will never ever happen…'

'R.I.P. Legacy of Kain…'

When he turned to Zita, she caught him staring at him and she immediately looked away and continued opening the treasure chests when their eyes met.

'Hey, don't look away like that! That was… That… I just got carried away…'

'Dammit...'

With his back hunched over, Nathan walked towards the cloths, put down the [Grade D] Kris Sword and then silently sat on a corner in shame.
