"What are those, zombies?" How fascinating yet concerning it is to find a young kid to ask such an interesting and frightening question. They wouldn't mind it if refers to a certain movie, but a question that relates to reality? Oh, that's sick. "I wish they were, you see, zombies were easier to kill, but these bastards run like humans, think like us, and..." The man with long hair and heterochromia rests his gun beside him. "And?" she asked. Her voice was filled with fear and anticipation, holding her favorite teddy bear. Her eyes widened in amusement as the guy pointed his gun towards her. "And even act like one," With that, he shot her on her head, her lifeless body hits the floor covered with her blood that is as dark as their souls, if they still have one to begin with. She was one of them, it was good he killed her before she kills everyone in that room. "You're one of them," The guy turned to face the woman that approached him. "No need to emphasize, I am aware, you're no different." he answers back. Trust, something that the world lacks. How can you possibly trust someone if you don't even trust yourself in the first place? Two people, different goals, One to find her brother, The other was to find an answer, but both walking on the same cliff of hell. If you see them, those who looks pretty normal, but eats and kill, those who runs like a living corpse. Run... Run like your life depends on it, Cause it does, But, what's scarier... The bots? The Cyber-Humans? The psychos amid apocalypse? A guy who called himself 'Zero'? Or the woman whose name is 'Ray'? - [Don't read the EPILOGUE if you don't want spoilers!] [ You have my word, this story is a rollercoaster ride of emotion with heavy scenes, I swear I made sure all chapters are worth it, I won't waste your time, enjoy yourself. ] @ekks

#SurvivalRomance #ForcedProximity #Fast-paced BOUGHT BY WATTPAD WEBTOON STUDIOS FOR PUBLISHING/MOVIE DEALS!!! (Contract expired September, 2025) Winner of the Wattys 2020 Award Plot: In 1974, the mysterious cult's mass kidnapping and ritualistic killing led to the summoning of the Shade-a paranormal entity of living shadow. Ever since then, starting in October in Bastillio-a city in the Philippines steeped in history and superstition-the Shade would be seen haunting twelve teenagers at night throughout the month, often resulting in their deaths. But the discovery of U.V. lights as a deterrent from the Shade led the government to establish a system to contain the Shade's threat. Fast forward to 2025, twenty years after the system had successfully prevented any more deaths, the media and global firestorm surrounding the phenomenon died down. So when sixteen-year-old Vergil Torres was identified as one of the twelve and was immediately brought to Biringan-the government shelter where haunteds like him would stay for the month-he was more excited than scared for his life. But the gruesome and inexplicable death of one of them during their stay in the supposedly safe house renews the horror of the Shade. Vergil, together with his classmate and fellow haunted, the "traditional morena beauty" Cana Bernardo, decided to get to the bottom of it. The two classmates who were indifferent to each other must now work together if they are to survive through the month.
