God of Time System: Harem in the Zombie Apocalypse

[King Charybdis Ingrate's POV]

.....

.....

6 months ago I was born as a zombie. When I was born, I had no memories of my past life. You can even say that I was living simply relying on my instincts. I was simply walking left and right, trying to gather more energy to evolve.

Slowly and slowly, I evolved into a stronger version of myself, fighting against foes that were both of my breed (zombies) and others (humans). Every day, I had to survive and kill, thrive against the other zombies and make sure that I didn't end up falling.

As time passed, I got bits of my memories back and my thinking ability cleared. I think it was one month ago that I recalled my name. Albedo Klent.

Though that was all I could do at that time. This name alone gave me anxiety, so much that I could even kill myself. So I searched and searched wherever I could, but unfortunately, I still couldn't find a single thing at all.

Over the last month, slowly and slowly as I got stronger, my memories became clearer. I saw that with every new power; I was able to unlock a certain memory of my past. Though, I still can't figure out who exactly I was and what was my past life.

Did I live a lonely life? Was I alone all the time? Did I have a family? Who were they? Where were they? Was I happy? Was I sad?

How many times I have asked those questions only to not getting any answers at all? So the only thought in my mind was,

"I must get stronger. That is the only way."

And I entered into seclusion. To get stronger. I found Cores of weaker zombies and stronger zombies. I accepted the darkness, killed many humans and zombies. Received blessings of the night and the ability to control water and much more. But even after that, I was not able to recover my complete memories at all.

But just a few days ago, I felt… if I can break through one more time, If I utilise all my time and get stronger one more time, I will find all the answers I ever needed. But before that can happen…

He arrived. This… monster…

-BOOM!

-BOOM!

-BOOM! How many times I have punched him and still missed? How can he ALWAYS find a gap between my attacks? No matter how many skills I have used, no matter how many powers I have used, I still can't figure out a way to make a sure-fire hit on him.

'No! I already have made it sure that he gets hit… but he still finds an opening, or many times creates an opening and then hit me back,' It was irritating.

"Are we going to fight this epic battle until the end of the world?" I asked with irritation in my voice and he pondered about it for a few moments before speaking,"well you can always surrender."

'This bastard,' I sighed, before preparing a bit more. Attacking a bit more.

Because of my near inexhaustible energy, I don't think I will lose this fight. So I guess all I need to do is drag this fight long enough so that he may exhaust his energy.

From that point onwards, I saw him fighting left and right, up and down, as he jumped all over the place and attacked me with those weak attacks of his. I only waited for the time to be over and after maybe a few hours have passed, he started speaking,

"You know… I think this is getting nowhere."

'What is he trying now?' was the first thought that entered my mind as I looked at him.

"So I have decided to kill you. I kinda wanted to sell you, but I don't think it is really feasible for me now," He spoke with a very regretful tone and I just gawked at him. Does that mean he was not taking me seriously up until now?

Glaring at him, I increased my speed a bit more and ran around a bit faster than usual. Though it didn't honestly change anything except…

His stance… even though he was jumping around like usual, his upper body now was more like fixed into a position. He was just moving his legs to dodge and everything but his upper body was frozen.

Then he began moving his sword slowly and slowly up… it was so slow that I couldn't even be bothered by it. It seemed as if it was slower than a snail's movements on land.

I kept observing him while trying to hit him from all the directions, but he kept going on as he raised his arms slowly up and up before getting them down and down.

"What exactly are you trying here?" I asked him. It wasn't the first time I had asked him that, but still he didn't speak a word. After what seemed a never ending time, his sword reached the lowest position and…

Huh?

What happened?!

What is going on?

I don't know what happened, but my body was slashed into hundreds of pieces… that's what I felt like. Normally, I would have joined back immediately given my body composition n all, but for some reason I couldn't do it.

"You should die in about… 3 minutes," he spoke as he looked at me. I could sense him, hear him moving closer to me.

'Is this how I die? Without knowing anything about myself?' It was painful… why does it have to happen to me?

"Since you probably won't be causing any trouble anymore, I guess I can tell you a few things about you. It's not much, but Albedo was a good guy. A happy person who loved kids and was ready to help people every once in a while…" and then he began telling me everything about me from the start to the end.

Not knowing anything about Albedo, my ass, it's as if he had done research on me. Since I could detect lies, I knew he was telling the truth from the beginning to the end. He told me many things as he kept describing my stupid activities, about my family who were living abroad and how they loved me and my kids and stuff. He told me everything.

All the answers that I ever wanted, he gave me. All the questions that had been eating me alive were finally being answered. I had some wishes like I wanted to meet my family and stuff, but that was a bit of a pipe dream, honestly. Though, I still wish for their safety.

"If I meet your family, I will protect them. I am not doing it for you, though. Just something I would have done anyway," he spoke with a bit of a smirk.

'This… stupid being… I wish I knew his name… Should have asked him before fighting…' I thought as my thoughts began to vanish. I was finally losing my senses… but it was fine.

I have achieved happiness. I have fulfilled my dream. It's not the way I thought it was, but… I am satisfied.

Young man… you have my blessing. May you succeed in your quest to achieve what you want…

Thank you.
