Level Up Zombie

Pada hari ulang tahun cucuku, aku ditabrak mobil saat dalam perjalanan mengambil hadiahnya. Karena tidak terlalu parah, aku hanya pergi ke rumah sakit untuk membalut lukaku, lalu buru-buru pualng. Setibanya di rumah, ternyata acara ulang tahun telah berakhir. Sementara itu, aku harus membereskan kekacauan yang ada. Tidak ada yang peduli pada lenganku yang diperban. Yang ada di pikiran mereka hanya apakah baju sudah dicuci, apakah makanan sudah disiapkan? Karena tidak enak badan, aku tidak membuatkan sarapan. Putraku dan menantuku pun mengataiku malas. Aku pergi ke rumah sahabatku untuk menenangkan diri. Mereka malah bilang aku bersikap tidak masuk akal, padahal sudah tua. Kemudian, suamiku ingin bercerai denganku demi seorang pengasuh .... Cerai saja! Siapa juga yang mau mengerjakan pekerjaan rumah yang tak ada habisnya itu! Lagi pula, mereka tidak menyukaiku!

Di tahun kelima pernikahanku dengan Anto, gadis yang ia simpan di hotel akhirnya terungkap ke publik, menjadi perbincangan semua orang. Untuk menghindari tuduhan sebagai "pelakor", Anto datang kepadaku dengan membawa surat cerai dan berkata, “Profesor Jihan dulu pernah membantuku. Sebelum beliau meninggal, dia memintaku untuk menjaga Vior. Sekarang kejadian seperti ini terungkap, aku tak bisa tinggal diam.” Selama bertahun-tahun, Vior selalu menjadi pilihan pertama Anto. Di kehidupan sebelumnya, saat mendengar kata-kata itu, aku hancur dan marah besar, bersikeras menolak bercerai. Hingga akhirnya aku menderita depresi berat, tetapi Anto, hanya karena Vior berkata, “Kakak nggak terlihat seperti orang sakit,” langsung menyimpulkan bahwa aku berpura-pura sakit, menganggap aku sengaja bermain drama. Dia pun merancang jebakan untuk menuduhku selingkuh, lalu langsung menggugat cerai. Saat itulah aku baru sadar bahwa aku selamanya tak akan bisa menandingi rasa terima kasihnya atas budi yang diterimanya. Dalam keputusasaan, aku memilih bunuh diri. Namun ketika aku membuka mata lagi, tanpa ragu, aku langsung menandatangani surat cerai itu. Tanpa ragu, aku menandatangani surat perjanjian cerai itu.

Ketika sedang membantu suami membersihkan laptopnya, aku tak sengaja membuka sebuah folder. Ada ribuan video vulgar di dalamnya. Pemeran utamanya adalah suami dan sahabat baikku. Setelah melahirkan, suamiku bilang ada masalah kesehatan pada tubuhnya, sehingga tidak bisa berhubungan intim. Jadi, dia tak pernah menyentuhku dan kami hanya menjalani cinta platonis selama empat puluh tahun. Aku menghabiskan sepanjang hidup dengan kerja keras, melahirkan dan membesarkan anak-anak. Pada akhirnya, semua ini ternyata adalah sebuah kebohongan besar.

Ketika kembali ke hari saat aku dan kakakku harus memilih calon suami, aku tiba-tiba menyadari bahwa aku bisa mendengar suara hati orang lain. Aku mendengar kakakku berkata dalam hati, 'Kali ini, aku harus memilih suami yang bagus lebih dahulu!' Lalu dia segera menarik pergi pria yang menjadi suamiku di kehidupan sebelumnya, pria yang tampak lembut dan baik. Dan pria yang di kehidupan lalu memukulinya setiap hari, pria kasar itu, dia tinggalkan untukku. Aku tersenyum. Dia benar-benar mengira pria yang dulu kunikahi itu adalah pria baik?

Leo Parker, my fiance, shoved me out the door with his own hands. He used me as bait to buy time for himself and my best friend, Jessica Thorne, to escape. I'd never forget him shutting the door. I'd never forget his last words through the narrow crack. "Thank you for your sacrifice, Chloe." When I open my eyes again, I'm back to the day before the zombie outbreak. Leo is gently urging me to hurry up and transfer 150 thousand dollars for the remodeling. It's the money we set aside for the home we plan to live in after we get married. In my past life, he set a trap and drained every cent of my savings. This time, I smile and agree. The only difference is that the 150 thousand dollars is going to build my doomsday bunker. And I'm also planning something special for them. After all, since I get a second chance at life, I should properly thank them for the "kindness" they showed me last time when they shoved me out to get torn apart by zombies.

On campus, Emily was surrounded by several girls. Each of them slapped Emily's face and insulted her with dirty words. Emily wanted to stand up and fight back, but her arm was stomped heavily on the ground by one of them. There were many people around who walked indifferently, as if they were no longer shocked by this scene. The second girl kicked Emily's face, "Omega is the lowest level of trash, you should have died long ago..." Suddenly their phones rang, and one of them exclaimed, "The four Alphas are having a party! They actually came back home!..." They all picked up their phones to read the text messages, "I received an invitation to the party..." "I received it too!"... They kicked Emily a few more times and cursed a few times before leaving, leaving Emily alone. Emily got up from the ground tremblingly. She picked up her phone a few meters away. Emily found that there were more than a dozen missed calls from Luna. She suddenly panicked and called back nervously. Luna's voice pierced her eardrums, "Where did you die? The four Alphas and the guests are all at home now. Come back here quickly..." Emily was stunned for a moment after hearing the words of the four Alphas, I felt even more panicked.

Amaryah is an adventurous young lady of an elite clan well-known for cultivating successful followers. For fools who didn't know any better, Amaryah is nothing but a failure. But for people who met her face to face, they know she is never short of power nor is she inferior to others. Even without the aid of an elemental spirit, her techniques and spiritual level are high enough to take any user on one-on-one. However some people may be awed and amazed, hate and displeasure are always inevitable. People who harbor enough hatred would do anything to drag someone down. So once the origins of Amaryah and the history of her family were revealed, she ended up getting executed and burned like how her ancestors met their demise. But this is too abrupt of an ending, and there's a reason why legends are called legends.

After the plane crash, my body was never recovered. My soul drifted back to the home I hadn't stepped foot in for five years. They didn't know I was dead. They were still waiting for me to come home for Christmas. When my mom got the call from the airline, she froze for a long time, completely at a loss, before breaking down in tears. I followed them as they went to the memorial crash site. That was when I noticed something strange—I could see their levels of regret hovering above their heads. My brother's regret level read: 40%. My father's showed: 60%. Even my sister-in-law had 30% over her head. But my mother's regret level? It flashed a cold, unchanging 0%.
