Nameless King

Wain opened the Soul Chest with anticipation. Wain was surprised, for the small item that fits this chest was a glove. It was a single glove, not a pair.

This glove was green in color and looked rather creepy. Moreover, on the side of the palm was a drawing in the shape of the closed mouth of some monster. This drawing looked very natural.

Wain took the glove in his hands and saw detailed information about the item at the exact moment.

[Zombie Glove (Primary Chronicle, Common Rating)

This glove is made of dense zombie flesh and is quite difficult to destroy, as the tissues naturally overgrow. But unfortunately, this gauntlet provides rather mediocre protection. However, it has a special effect.

If blood gets on the drawing of the closed mouth, a real mouth will open on the glove, which is supposed to swallow some creature's brains. After this mouth absorbs the brains of three different creatures, it will create a random potion. This effect can be used only once every seven days]

'An equipment with a special effect? Not bad, but the effect is kind of weird. If I want to get a potion, I have to turn into a zombie for a while. They're so fond of human brains, aren't they?' Wain thought and put on his glove.

Then he pulled out his knife and made a neat cut on the glove. He was curious to see how zombies' recovery effect was famous for working. As Wain expected, before his eyes, part of the gauntlet recovered.

"Hmm, perhaps this could somehow be used to shield me from numerous but very weak attacks. For now, I have no way to regenerate except naturally." Wain muttered.

Wain didn't know where he was going, but one thing was obvious - he had to get stronger, and for that, he was willing to do anything.

For Wain to get stronger, he had to get stronger souls, which meant he had to kill stronger monsters.

'At the beginning of the apocalypse, strong monsters only appear in two places. Either in natural areas like wilderness, volcanoes or glaciers, or crowded places.' Wain thought, looking around.

The streets were empty. Only in the distance did he see a few zombies walking slowly somewhere. Wain was about to look at the map on his phone to determine his next destination. But, suddenly, the whole ground shook.

Wain didn't know what was happening, but the shaking was so violent that some of the ground rose, and the buildings next to him began to collapse.

"Fuck!" Shouted Wain as he watched the five-story building plummet toward him.

He quickly used Lightning Lizard's Dash and his silhouette blurred. He was transformed into an electric bolt of lightning for a moment.

Bam.

A building collapsed near Wain, but that didn't interest him. At that moment, his attention was fixed on something more incredible.

An enormous worm, more reminiscent of a world-eater, had emerged from the center of the city. If the previous worms Wain had encountered could destroy a large hospital, this one was capable of destroying an entire castle. There were sharp spikes and sturdy plates all over its body. He could easily drill a mine that was tens of kilometers long with his body.

Fortunately, the colossal worm didn't pay attention to Wain or anyone else. It headed north to other areas. But, because of its huge body and abrupt movements, Overion, where Wain was located, was divided into four large parts.

Between each part was now a veritable canyon several tens of meters thick and more than a hundred meters deep.

Wain realized that the landscape here had just been changed, so he decided to take a closer look at the changes. He jumped onto the collapsed building and climbed to the top ten seconds later, and looked at Overion from above.

"Clearly, fate itself has decided to help me with my choice. There's no way I'm getting to one of the other three parts now. I'll have to stay here for a while." Wain muttered.

Overion was now not an entire city, but like four large, equal islands. Bridges had to be built to cross the ten-meter canyons or needed special skills.

p Wain looked carefully at the rifts, then looked at the map.

"I see, so now I'm in the eastern part of Overion." Mumbled Wain and took out a cigarette and lit it.

He scrupulously searched for the right place and found it rather quickly. Wain's choice was one university on the outskirts of town. Overion was only partly a tourist spot, it had a beautiful beach, but it was mostly an ordinary town with its infrastructure.

But, he chose this university for several important reasons. First, there was a big shop nearby. At this point, groceries were as crucial as souls.

Secondly, the university was close to the beach and the wilderness, a mix of forest and jungle. It was a great location with people and the right conditions for strong monsters to emerge.

Wain wasn't going to be in the business of saving humanity. It was a futile endeavor. No matter what happened in this world, there would be those who would survive, and those people would be the strongest. Wain was well aware of how this world would evolve in the next few years.

"Many people will die, but that's not a problem. It's inevitable. Then those who gained strong souls and killed powerful monsters will make themselves known. Such people will grow even stronger, while many others will not even activate their Soul Altar." Wain muttered and exhaled a puff of smoke.

He understood that the strongest people would gain more power over time, other people would follow them, and the weakest would obey them. The strongest people in the new world would create their bases, clans, organizations, and maybe even cities.

This was all going to happen very soon. Once people realized that change was irreversible and no one would help them. They would begin to search among themselves for leaders and those strong enough to protect them.

Wain wasn't interested in leading others or being the head of some small clan. But, he wasn't against becoming a judge of the world again. He would be the one whose name would make the leaders of millions tremble.

In his world, he was powerful and influential enough to decide the fates of entire countries. Of course, this was impossible to pull off alone. After all, he was a man, not a god. Many people chose to obey Wain as their leader, even if he didn't ask them to.

Wain didn't like it, but he realized that such people could be useful. They were doing petty and dirty work on which Wain didn't want to waste his time.

"Now I have a strong soul and limitless possibilities. What's more, this world is huge. There are probably more than a hundred billion people living here." Mumbled Wain and went downstairs.

The place Wain was heading to was called the University of the Bright Sun. It was a rather strange name for an educational institution, but in Wain's opinion, it was better.

It was pretty far away, so it would take Wain at least half an hour to get there.

"Hmm, there will probably be a lot of monsters near the university. Actually, that's good news for me. But, I need something to eat. I have plenty of weapons but no food or water at all." Mumbled Wain and looked at the map to see where the nearest shop was.
