RE:BORN Zombie

A/N: Reborn:Zombie is fully back now and I will be updating every two days. That’s one day interval between each update. This is for consistency sake, but at least that’s for now.

Time came for the humans to go to this under water city.

“Atlantis, really? Never thought I would experience this.” Victor said to Veritas as they got ready to leave.

They were going to take just themselves for this journey, as more people simply weren’t needed. Veritas however, speculated this to be a trap, but really, who didn’t?

The idiots that agreed to follow a stranger and potential enemy into their own territory were to blame for the developments. They could easily have called to meet on common grounds, but no.

Victor and Veritas arrived at the predestined meeting location close to the shores in one of the cities that was close to the sea. They were neither early nor late, so they lingered around for a while as they waited.

Though times had changed and everything wasn’t the way it used to be, anyone who truly knew Victor as The Crow, knew the terrible side of him that had been forgotten by the new world. The old heads there knew not to mess with him in anyway or form, so even to say hi was better left undone.

Of course, someone was taking note of all these behaviors.

“Does this thing seek death?” Veritas said in a quiet voice that only Victor could hear.

“Relax, he won’t get much anyway.” Victor responded in similar manner.

The envoy that had been doing a good job observing the people had been showing too much interest in Victor and Veritas, maybe because they weren’t exactly ‘human’.

The trip begun, and they all were carried inside some sort of ship that at least looked to be a form of technology. It was nothing outside of what humanity could do, so it wasn’t alarming.

As they descended, everyone on board kept seeing various interesting creatures and creatures that would very much end their band of awakeners in matter of minutes. Of course, it would be a different story of the truly powerful were to make a move, but of course, they wouldn’t just like that. For some reason, it seemed like the ones who were truly powerful could care less about the wellbeing of the planet, Victor included.

After around 15 minutes, they finally arrived at the underwater terminal that lead to the underwater city. As the sea creature explained, the entire city was covered by protective barriers, so using the terminal was the only way in.

No matter how Victor looked at it, this scene before him looked all too familiar.

.

The underwater city was simply fantastic, and just as Victor thought, its name was Atlantis.

…

The vehicle they were in, the same one that brought them there, made sure to pass through all the beautiful places as they headed to their final destination, and it was mostly sickening to Victor. He couldn’t exactly say what it was they were planning, but he couldn’t even begin to think that they wanted to entice and steal some of earth’s people.

They finally got to the king’s palace, which was where they were headed all along, and to say the least, it was astonishing. The fashion of these water people was certainly not the one every one from earth was used to, and their sense of art was different, but unlike food, it was something everyone could agree to be good.

The issue now, was how they were going to move about while outside the vehicle, as that was certainly mandatory. For that however, the envoy walked around and used some kind of skill on everyone. It was simple, it would enable them to breath and move under water with ease. Here, people didn’t walk, they swam. The humans would be the exception however.

‘Something is definitely wrong with this… And I can see what their plan is now.’ Victor said to himself.

As soon as the envoy cast his magic on Victor, or whether it was a skill, his system displayed a warning message. Seeing this, Victor knew for certain that their coming to the underwater kingdom was not just for some peace talks.

“We will meet the king now.” The envoy said before leading the entire group elsewhere.

They all transversed the palace like it was some kind of labyrinth, and after about four or five minutes, they got to where they would be meeting with the king.

‘There’s no king here.’ Victor said in his mind. That was for sure the same thought that went through everybody’s minds, but they all kept to themselves.

“Please, be patient. The king will be here in a moment.” The envoy said, before leaving the place.

‘This throne room.. Extravagant.’ Everyone thought.

Time slowly passed as the group of humans waited in the throne room of the king, waiting for the king’s arrival.

“Who still uses this kind of tactics? Huh?” One of the humans spoke. He was the head of the second largest tech company.

‘This sort of power play.’ Veritas said to Victor through their mental link.

‘Let’s wait and see. Stay on guard and don’t underestimate anyone. They are planning something.’ Victor replied.

The fact that Veritas was yet to say anything concerning the trap placed on her was telling, and Victor himself would not have known if it wasn’t for the system. What this meant was that, despite how the envoy looked, he was very capable.

‘And he is just an envoy who doesn’t seem to hold a high position even.’ Thought Victor, as he further analyzed the situation.

The humans were left to wait even more, and now, those who couldn’t control their temper begun their acts.

“What is the meaning of this?!” “Where is the king? You bring us here, and this is the hospitality we are subjected to?” Some began querying.

.

.

“The king has arrived!” A very audible voice proclaimed, as following his words, a figure appeared from a different part of the throne room that wasn’t the door the others entered from.

He walked in his own pace until he reached his throne, and then proceeded to seat in a majestic manner, all in his own time.

p .

Without saying a word, he simply stared at the humans before his throne for a brief moment.

“The king welcomes the humans.”
