I went back to the room, and strangely… I’d already forgotten why I vomited earlier.
The only thing that mattered now was what had changed.
‘F*ing system… it’s like the best hypnosis. I just forgot everything I felt a minute ago. It’s like it never happened because there’s something new to focus on. Alright, let’s see…’
‘System, can I create abilities?’
---
> Ding!
The host can get not create and must upgrade [Decompose] in order to decompose corpses.
---
‘How much do I need to upgrade [Decompose]?’
---
> Ding!
The host requires 2,000,000 energy.

I stared at the message. My stomach twisted.
I felt hungry… but I didn’t want to eat.
Thirty minutes passed.
‘It’s time to move.’

First, I dragged the corpse to the window and tossed it out.
Then I adjusted the desk back into position.
The door opposite mine was locked—couldn’t open it.
I turned to the next one. The hallway was weird.
The doors were arranged in a zigzag—mine was on the right, the opposite one on the left, alternating like a chessboard.
I pushed the desk slowly toward the next room. It was open.
I stepped inside.
Bathroom door: shut.
I knocked three times—
Tup… Tup… Tup…
Instant growls. Loud banging.
I grabbed the knob—unlocked.
I dragged a desk in front of it to block the door and shut the main door behind me.
Gripping my axe, I hacked into the bathroom door—just enough to make a hole at eye level.
The smell hit me hard.
I gagged—almost puked—but held it in.
‘F*… I just remembered why I vomited earlier… and I just realized I actually forgot about it.’
I pulled out a crowbar.
Heavy… but manageable.
I waited.
The moment its face popped through the hole—
I shoved the crowbar in, aiming for its eye.
Crack!
It filed—then colpsed.
Same as before—
A strange white light floated through the door—
—Straight into my forehead.

‘Wait… System, didn’t you say it was life force? So it’s EXP now because of the adjustment?’
---
> Ding!
Host is right.
---
‘Oh sh*t—’
Eyes wide.
I forgot to take the crowbar out.
Great.
I needed another one—fast.
I peeked through the hole.
Three zombies inside—two male, one female.
Took a deep breath.
‘Let’s not think about the possibilities of how this happened…’
I made a new crowbar.
One by one—I finished them off.
Same fsh of white. Same system message.

I opened the door and gagged again.
The stench was even worse now.
I made a towel. Masked up.
Dragged the bodies to the window.
Touching every thing around the room Activated [Decomposition]—
Stripped the room clean: bed, tub, furniture—everything.
Moved on.
The next room was the one I fought my first zombie came out.
Position the desk front. No threats.
I kept going—
Seven rooms total. Cleared each one. Killed five more zombies.

Before moving forward, I reinforced the elevator on this right side of the hallway barricading with multiple desk.
Then, I returned to the room next to mine.
Same drill: hole in the door, wait, one clean strike.

The moment the experience hit me—
A strange warmth washed over my body.
I felt… light.
Like I’d just woken up after a full week of sleep.
