Nameless King

Wain followed the giant worm to the east of the city. Wain wanted to see the people who had found the strength to fight for their lives during the apocalypse. On his way to the eastern part of the city, Wain encountered several opponents on his way.

They were weak zombies and several overgrown insects. Unfortunately, all the souls Wain received were of Destroyed quality. He got some Soul Essence, but he didn't get a stat boost or an item.

However, it didn't bother Wain that much at the time. His main target was a huge worm that attacked people in the east.

...

"Wow, they're pretty well prepared. They even found guns," thought Wain when he saw the people and the position they were in.

The people tried to defend themselves by building roadblocks and barricades. They also had several submachine guns with which they defended themselves. A few people had pistols, shotguns, and rifles, which they used to blast away zombies.

'I see. The apocalypse only happened a few hours ago. All they had time to do was arm themselves with what they had on hand and try to fight back. They haven't even noticed that souls are floating over the bodies of dead zombies' Wain pondered.

Unfortunately, Wain couldn't take those souls. In his world, some people had tried to take the souls of creatures that other people had killed, but they hadn't succeeded. People decided that this was how the new world was set up, and it couldn't be changed.

Wain did not notice a single person trying to fight the monsters.

'Didn't they get their souls? No, that's impossible. They probably haven't activated their Soul Altar yet' Thought Wain.

To activate their Soul Altar, they had to kill any other creature. Usually, it wasn't hard to do because it wasn't hard to kill a simple zombie if you had a weapon.

'Most likely, these people armed with assault rifles have already activated their Soul Altar, but they don't understand what's going on. It's pretty hard to navigate in this kind of chaos. Moreover, if I were them, I wouldn't approach the monsters either. They are much safer with a machine gun than with a soul skill when you're trying to defeat a monster.'

Unlike Wain, these people were confused. They didn't have time to learn how to use their soul. They had to fight back first. Moreover, a lot of Main Souls was pretty useless. This could be fixed, but not on the first day of the apocalypse.

While Wain was monitoring the situation, the most common zombie approached him from behind. Wain spotted it and instantly used the Lizard's Dash. Wain armed himself with a knife, reached the zombie in the blink of an eye and severed its head.

"Huh, that skill is pretty good after all. I shortened the distance so quickly that he didn't even have time to notice." Wain muttered, and a white soul flew into his body the next moment.

'Damn, another Destroyed Soul, well, considering the amount of zombies, it's no wonder.' Wain thought and crushed the soul.

The more were creatures of a certain species, the less likely its soul would be Whole. This rule worked in reverse as well. Such a rule brought some balance and fairness to this world. After all, otherwise, everything would have depended on luck.

Two different people could kill a powerful monster, and one of them would get Destroyed Soul, and the other would get Whole. It was possible and given the rule, but with a much smaller chance.

Luck was a powerful force in all worlds, but not the only one. It should not hold the heavens. It should only be one of the pillars.

[You get Common Rating Spiritual Box]

'What? I got the Spiritual Box? It looks like luck is on my side today.'

When a person used Destroyed Soul, they only received Soul Essence, but there was one exception to this rule. Every type of soul could give a Spiritual Box when crushed, and it didn't matter if Whole, Damaged, or Destroyed Soul was used.

The chance was minimal, and one should not expect the Spiritual Box to contain a weapon or a skill capable of overthrowing the gods. The Spiritual Box could not contain a skill or a full-fledged weapon. There were expendable items in the Spiritual Box.

In some ways, the existence of such a system was very logical. The reaction of someone who used Whole Soul and got a pill or bomb instead of a weapon would not have been very good. He would have been very disappointed, and luck would have decided too much.

Wain looked at the white box in his hand and smiled. The next moment he crushed it and got his item.

To Wain's surprise, it appeared to be a small syringe filled with a blue liquid. Wain thought it was medicine, and he wasn't far from the truth.

[Antidote to Infection(Primary Chronicle, Common Rating)

This cure will be able to cure a person of a zombie infection. The medicine is designed for exactly one person. Otherwise, the infection will not be stopped]

The description was simple but very clear. It was no secret that if a zombie hurt a person, he was already infected and would soon become a zombie.

"Not bad, not bad at all. Even though I'm very strong, I don't have any protective or healing powers. This little syringe might save my life." Wain muttered and quickly transferred the syringe to the Ring of Damned.

For the first time, Wain felt how lucky he was to receive such an object. This ring was convenient and practical. Wain had made a fantastic achievement and had been rewarded accordingly.

Wain looked at the roadblock and saw a sad scene. The men could not cope with the hordes of monsters coming their way. Moreover, a giant worm had already destroyed one such roadblock a few dozen meters away from them.

'Hmm, judging by the building behind them, these people decided to go to the hospital and settle down there. It's a pretty good solution. The hospital has water and even food and plenty of medicine. But, there are too many people here, and the monsters can sense it,' Wain reasoned.

Wain thought that these people would die if they couldn't adapt quickly. They had to use their skills and souls to stand up to the monsters, not machine guns and rifles.

While Wain pondered, the worm headed sharply toward this roadblock. Wain didn't mind fighting the worm, but he wouldn't do it alone. He knew that he would not defeat such a powerful creature without damage now.

Wain would walk out of here if no one were strong among the roadblock or the hospital people. He wasn't going to sacrifice himself to save others.

"He's moving this way! Attack him with everything you've got!" Shouted one man and threw a bunch of grenades toward the worm. Other men did the same.

There was a deafening explosion, and hundreds of pieces of shrapnel pounded into the monster's flesh. Moreover, the giant worm was seriously wounded, a piece of its flesh was destroyed. But, this wound was not fatal. The monster could continue fighting without any problems.

Bullets could not pierce its tough chitin and plates. These men's days were numbered.

The worm swallowed more than ten people in the blink of an eye. Its jaws twisted, and hundreds of teeth turned into a huge blender. It was a horrible death.

Snap.

Wain pulled out a cigar and lit it on fire. He was disappointed, an entire roadblock had been destroyed, and none of the people even tried to use their powers.

'Are the people in this world some wimps? Why the fuck didn't they do anything? Wain grumbled to himself.

He watched as the worm destroyed the barricades and killed innocent people for nothing. However, the only law that worked in this world now was the law of the jungle. The strongest survived, and the weakest did not simply become its fodder but its strength as well.

Wain extinguished his cigarette and was about to leave when there was another explosion suddenly.

Several fireballs the size of a fist rained down on the worm. The monster's flesh caught fire, and its blood caked.

"Has someone finally figured out what's going on?" Mumbled Wain looking at the girl shooting fireballs toward the worm.

The girl had long red hair and green eyes. She was dressed in simple, casual clothes, and she didn't look more than twenty. Wain figured she was a student.

'Wow, she's pretty good. Apparently, her Energy parameter is pretty high. But, if she kills the worm now, I won't get any reward, that's not good.' Wain thought and decided to take action.

Wain understood that the worm was quite strong, so he decided to use the most powerful thing he had.

He was going to use Nameless King's Forms. This skill was still blocked. Wain had yet to unleash its full power. But, the first form, the Codex of Light and Darkness, was available to him.

Soul Essence headed toward Wain's body, and he activated the skill at that moment.

That's when his body began to transform. His hair became much longer and reached to his waist. It became white like freshly fallen snow.

He wore armor as dark as the abyss. It looked light, comfortable, and practical. The last detail was the gloves and boots made of white energy. The gloves had sharp claws, and the boots were very tall and bulky, reaching to knees.
