"Ugh... what the..." - You woke up as you tried to get yourself up, your head hurt, as if last night you just drank with your friends again.

You got up on your knees and looked around, there's so many loud noises around that woke you up. Your vision is still blurring. Your body is still tiring.

"Ah right... I did some physical tests earlier... but where am I...?"

You take a good look around again, you're in the middle of the streets, in a city. And this city is awfully familiar to you.

"Wait a second..."

You heard it well, the screams of people. Those sounds were familiar to you. At the beginning of the outbreak in New York. This is exactly how people reacted back then.

You tried to move your body, got up after a hard time of struggling.

"Why won't you move..." - You looked at your own body, at your chest, the center part disappeared, it left a deep crater there. "Ahh... AHHHH!!!!!!"

You screamed as you collapsed down to the ground, on your back, you felt the pond of blood. Possibly your blood, since the big wound in your chest is bleeding but you can't feel the pain.

Zombies noticed you, and they are charging towards you.

"Shit shit, NO!!!!"

Coward.

"AHHH!!!!"

You screamed as you woke up, with sweat all over your body, you took a good look at your own chest and used your hand to rub it. There's no wound there.

"Oh thank god. Thank god..." - You felt relieved, and realized you're still in the isolated room.

Was that a nightmare?

It seems so.

Only you knew about your own experience. The feeling there, most of them are exactly what happened when the outbreak happened.

But the details... some are incorrect. You were never wounded in the chest area.

"..."

Anyways, after seeing that nothing is wrong, you clean yourself of the sweats and go back to bed, trying to sleep.

You couldn't sleep that easily again because you're still scared because of the nightmare.

"That feeling was so true... the pain in my chest..."

You tried to shrug it off by thinking of something else, something else, something else, and the first thing that somehow made its way to your head was the memory of you having segs with the zombie.

"Fuck."

You whispered. You still remembered the feeling and fapped in silence.

The night passed.

"Hey. Can I call my mom?" - You stood next to the door and asked.

"Wait a second."

They brought you a phone. Nokia.

You called your family.

"Hello?"

You heard your mom's voice answering.

"Mom it's me."

"Wait... Oh Y/n- You're still alive?"

You can feel her joy when she knew you're still alive.

"Yes mom. I'm still doing well."

"We worried sick for you when we first heard about the outbreak... Your cousin who was a doctor in the Schicksal asked some of his friends to go search for you, but didn't get anything so far... How are you doing? Where are you?"

"I'm fine, don't worry mom. I'm somewhere safe now, I would like to go home now but I can't, but I'll call you more regularly from now on." - You talked to your mom for a few minutes, both were crying of joy. "Please keep yourself safe mom."

"You too son, call me later when you can. Oh and did you get a girlfriend?" - Your mom asked.

"... Ahaha... later mom."

You got emotionally damaged from your mom. This is what is scary about Asian parents, they can inflict emotional damage so easily.

"Alright."

You kept the phone with you, and did some more tests with the military soldiers.

2 days later, some people introduced themselves as the higher-ups of the Anti-Entropy came and took you away, to their main base.

"Alright, I'm Einstein, a scientist for Anti Entropy." - The girl with blue short hair sitting on the same van with you introduced herself to you.

"John Y/n, so doctor Einstein where are we going?" - You asked with a smile.

"We're going to the headquarters of Entropy, which will take us a while to get there. As you already know, the whole United States is in pieces due to the honkai outbreak." - Einstein said as she looked outside the window, the van was escorted by a truck loaded with troops with two mecha. "So, let me get this straight..."

She opened some sort of tablet, which you can see a picture of you with a bunch of texts down below. It seems that she's reading the report about you.

"So according to the reports with the test results you have achieved in the last 2 days, I can say that you have extraordinary strength compared to normal humans, it's said that you have a strong honkai resistance. The biggest proof is the bite mark on your shoulder, which you claimed to be a zombie bite."

"Yes? Actually it's a long story but it is indeed a zombie who has bitten me."

"Noted. About the Honkai resistance part, we'll do another test in the headquarters even though the super strength just confirmed it for us."

"I'm appreciated for everything you guys have done for me but, if I'm safe can I go home?" - You asked Einstein, who just simply smiled while looking away.

"Sorry but we can't do it." - Einstein responded.

"Why?" - You asked. "Is this considered kidnapping? I need a lawyer."

"Nope. Listen here mister Y/n. The thing is, Honkai resistance among humans is rare. But almost all the recorded cases are females. Males, on the other hand, are extremely rare to develop a resistance against Honkai, leave alone a strong one."

"So that means I'm special?"

"You can say so. If you come with us, we can ensure safety for someone like you, if you run away you might get caught by Schicksal, Otto Apocalypse won't let some special case like you slide away that easily."

"Well... what's in this for me? What's making sure that you guys aren't going to perform surgeries on me?"

"It's hard to prove it, mister Y/n, but we require your power, and your trust. In exchange, you'll soon be powerful enough to become someone who fights for humanity, sort of a hero."

"A hero, you say?"

"Yes."

"Nah i'm not going to become one. Being a hero means you have to pay taxes. And I evade paying it."

"Welp, depends on your concepts about heroes. Being with us means you won't have to pay taxes."

The chat goes on for like 30 minutes about random stuff between you and Einstein. Oh and you also realized that Einstein is a girl.

Finally you arrived at the base of the Anti Entropy. Doctor Einstein led you to a restroom, after told you that the leader of the faction, the First Herrscher, Herrscher of Reason that fights for mankind, god that's a long name. Is coming to see you.

"I'm Welt."

"I'm Y/n."

The two of you greeted normally. Nothing is wrong at all, you feel like this Welt guy is powerful, and meeting him does make your insides feel strange, as if you're a wild animal whose instincts are kicking in when meeting a dangerous predator.

You are offered to join the Anti Entropy military, if you can perform well, you'll be able to name yourself as one of the top officers of the organization.

You asked for a reason for why you should fight for them.

After all, what you desired was to live.

You're still alive here, so it's pointless to risk your life on the battlefields.

Welt said he understood your decisions, and promised that he won't push you.

But under the condition you have to take a walk with him somewhere. You followed him.

It took a bit of time for the van to arrive in the middle of nowhere, it's just an abandoned town, signs of destruction can be seen.

"This village was raided 2 weeks ago." - Welt said as you stared at the gravestones behind the town's small church. There were tons of them lined up.

Small ones, big ones, normal ones, even the ones that looked like they were built in a hurry and lack resources.

"..."

"Anti Entropy has around 2000 men to protect all the regions scattered across this nation, plus 50 mechas which couldn't be deployed all the time. This town was one of the towns we failed to evacuate in time, even though it was close to the base."

"..."

You kneeled in front of a grave, seeing the withered flowers placed on it.

"Even though we were opposed, Anti Entropy and Schicksal agreed on not letting ordinary people know about Honkai. That's why we lack so much manpower."

"..."

"Even though the Honkai was wreaking havoc upon this country months ago, we still tried our best to keep the concept of Honkai away from them, only to let them know this as a dangerous virus roaming in some states."

"....."

"Many have died, because they didn't know about the truth. But we had no other choices, if they knew about Honkai, none can say it will be chaos or something else among the people, when that happens, Honkai can easily wipe us out as we would be vulnerable.

If only we had more people, or at least a symbol that is strong enough, to prove to humanity that we can win against Honkai."

"..."

"This is more like a gambit to me, if you're willing to join, you might be the symbol of mankind."

"... Hah." - You stood up and faced him. "But I can't, the responsibility is too big for me, I can't bear it even if I want to."

"I see."

"However, I still want to help you, of course seeing these people died... When they shouldn't... If there was someone. I want to save lives."

"Very well then, Y/n."

Welt gave you his hand, you shook his hand.

Agreed to join the Anti Entropy, then spent the next 3 years training in their military. Things have changed so much since then.

You were sent on some escorts, evacuation, and exterminate missions.

All your performances are incredible, and you started to build up your own experiences in battles, to the point you almost didn't recognize yourself after comparing yourself 3 years ago.

But some of your habits still stay there.

Living and fighting freely, if it's not crucial.

Fapping at nights.

Oh speaking about that. Since you've spent much time and had a high ranking position in the military, you often hang out with the boys in some cities during vacations.

There was this one time you got so horny, you went to have segs with some random girl flirts for you at the bar.

No matter how hard you tried, or how hard she tried to seduce you. You little boi won't turn on. Even you almost killed yourself after overdose of love potions. It just won't turn on.

You talked about this to the boys, they said that it must be the side effects of the Honkai resistance, you get strong but your pp dies.

"I've won... But at what cost..?" 

End of "Joining the military so you won't have to pay taxes".
