RE:BORN Zombie - Chapter 145 The Reset

“Seriously, Firstly, I didn’t even get to enjoy my stay in this damn world long enough after escaping bondage, and was thrown into shit situations… now this shit.” Victor said to himself, while standing on top of a building in the middle of the city.

It was safe to say that he was no longer an emotionless being as he once was, at least to some extent.

From the spot where he stood, he looked at the beautiful city below, observing the night life while leaning on the metal bars on the edge of the roof of the story building.

‘Heh.. I’ve got shit to do.’ He said to himself just before he was about to teleport away, but then the skill didn’t activate. “Great, now I’ve got you to babysit.” Victor said.

“I thought I told you not to step into my city? Did you think I would not find out?” The voice asked as a man walked out of the shadows nearby.

“You are getting better huh? I couldn’t even sense you approaching.” Victor said. Before the other could respond however, he continued, cutting the man off in a rather rude manner. “Don’t waste your time now, I don’t feel like listening to an old self righteous baby. Move along now, and stop your skill’s effect.” Victor said.

For a short while, some seconds, both men just stared at each other for a while, and then, without saying another word, Victor teleported away.

Seeing the empty space before him, the man showed a spoilt expression on his face as the words escaped his mouth, “Damn bastard.. Just a little more.”

The man who had just confronted Victor is called Orvion Baxter, someone who, for Victor that has many skills in his arsenal, is a big red flag. His ability is to block the activation of skills, and when this skill of his is active, even he can’t use his other skills. The good part is that he is a physical oriented hunter, so the situation is for the most part advantageous for him.

His only problem is that Victor is still too much for him, as Victor’s physique alone is far beyond superhuman in many ways.

Victor appeared at his destination after teleporting. He was now at Under Current’s HQ where he spent most of his time.

The world after the second RESET, as they termed it, had become even bigger. How earth was still able to maintain it’s position in the solar system was a mystery on it’s own that many scientists were driven to study.

For those not too fascinated by science though, this expansion of the earth only meant there was more political battles and whatnot to handle.

There were different factions all around, each with their own ideologies and visions, and even Victor’s Under Current (I will most likely refer to it as UC from now on) was no longer just a hidden organization, they had become more of an organization shrouded in mystery, but their existence was vastly known all round, even at the opposite side of the world, and everyone knew not to mess with them.

Amongst all the factions and different groups around the world, the ones that stood out the most were the fanatical group that worshiped a certain god, and the group that was more interested in science and interstellar expanse.

​ Of course, there were other groups that had different views and focus other than these two, but they were nowhere close to them in terms of anything.

Normally, the existence of these two groups shouldn’t be any problem, but the thing was that they both wanted the entire world to follow along with them, willingly or not. The problem Victor faced was the singular fact that he was trapped in between both groups in a way.

While the fanatics of the Razhin faith were against Victor, calling him impure and wanted nothing more than to send him into nothingness, the VIM CORP, which was the group focused on interstellar travel and space believed Victor could be of great help to them.

Victor however, while also against the fanatics, wanted nothing to do with the scientists. His spies had already feed him the information on what the VIM CORP really wanted, and it was just like he suspected. They wanted to cut him open and experiment on him, as even now, there was no one who could use as many skills as he could.

That aside, when it came to the scientists, there was a split as a particular faction in the organization wanted to sincerely partner with Victor, while the majority wanted nothing more than to open him up and study him.

…

“Welcome, I have processed the request from earlier and sent people to handle it. How was your stroll?” A feminine voice asked Victor, as he walked into a certain room where many people seemed to be at work.

Of course, this female who spoke was Veritas.

After taking over Ramkish’s body, the boy’s anatomy slowly morphed into hers, and it even gave her the perk of growing past her former appearance into somewhat of a milf now. Though she didn’t have her original power back at the time, Victor took her in as she requested since he knew that her loss in power was only temporary.

Unexpectedly, her loyalty towards him only increased, and all his preparations in case she was too betray him never were used.

In addition to wanting to be under him, she sort more than just to be his tool, as she referred to herself, she wanted to birth his children… Which is unreasonable, considering the fact that it was extremely difficult, and the chances of a successful birth was almost zero.

Though vampires can’t give birth, it is different for an ancient vampire like herself. The only problem was that the stronger you were, the harder it was to conceive or even impregnate, and her strength was nothing to scoff at, neither was Victor’s.

She was a Progenitor, and Victor had even taken it a step further and was the Origin when it came to vampire evolution, which is as high as it could get. This was also the major reason why the fanatics of the Razhin faith hated him as impure being. He was something like the embodiment of evil to a large extent in their eyes.

“Ver, it was good, and.. good job.” Victor said as he swiftly maneuvered his way away from her. She had the habit of playing seductive games in public much to the sight of others, and he wasn’t in for that.

She followed him to his private office where they would get the most privacy as she had something to tell him. Victor read her signal and headed there.

When they reached, Victor went into the room and sat on the couch positioned by the side of the room before his desk.

“Good new?” He asked Veritas, who remained standing before him.

“Not exactly, but we have found a possible lead.”
