My System & My Academy of Superpowers

Ryan looked everywhere around the third floor but he didn't find Pete's body anywhere. 

"I should start looking for his body from the top floor." Ryan took the stairs and reached the rooftop. 

The door to the roof was usually closed so if the door's still close, there's no chance Pete would go up there either. He didn't leave the dorm which meant he could not use the main building's stairs to climb up to the rooftop.

Tch, leave it. These zombies don't have that much intelligence anyway. Ryan finally reached the rooftop.

The door, to his surprise, was open, 'It's a good chance Pete might be up there.' Ryan gulped. 

He saw the latch of the door broken by force. Someone had already broken open the door. Of course, the someone was Ainz- uh-huh, Late Ainz Gown.

Being unaware of it, Ryan pushed open the door and stepped out. A cold breeze of air welcomed Ryan followed by a strong breeze. 

"He's not here." It was dark up there but thanks to Ryan's advanced vision, he was able to see in the dark… it was not that dark anyway.

Ryan didn't bother exploring the rooftop, the rooftop which was connected by three buildings. It would be quite a good experience for anyone to explore, tour, stroll around the rooftop in the nice wind. 

Ryan. He needed RPG Exp more than real-life Exp. he walked out of the roof and closed the door behind him. 

"That leaves the fourth, second, first floor, and the ground floor," Ryan said to himself while climbing down the stairs.

Ryan stopped on the fourth floor. He took a deep breath before entering deep inside the dark, long, eerie corridor in front of him.

The bright Academy, the bright corridors filled with students' mockery, laughs, jokes, etc. Was now only covered in their blood, flesh, corpses, and…. Their insides. 

Ryan could not just leave Pete and come down. He had a friend to protect, a zombie to kill, and a Quest to complete. He was determined to find Pete, he won't leave unless he completes the Quest or at least, finds Pete.

Ryan strolled around the fourth floor where dead bodies of students lay all over the place. Their guts, their fingers, the brains, the eyes, eyeballs. 

Of course, there were zombies around too, but not as much as the third and second floors. That's where Ryan killed most of the zombies. 

Pete? Ryan saw a flickering shadow or a silhouette of someone in the dark foggy corridor. Pete was the first thought Ryan had of when he saw the silhouette. 

Ryan slowly went closer to the shadowy image of someone on their knees. Down on the knees with arms moving up and down continuously. 

It was in the last corner of the corridor. The spot where the floor ends, the eerie spot for ghouls to hang out. It was covered in smoke and fog. 

The figure was still far away from Ryan, he was able to see it just because of his Trait of clairvoyance. Ryan could not tell who it was but he was sure there was someone out there. 

He took another step forward, he was getting closer to the silhouette. The closer he got to the silhouette the less the dead bodies of students or zombies appeared in his way.

Ryan calmly put his feet forward with his eyes fixed on the silhouette…. Which was his mistake. Suddenly, someone grabbed his feet. He felt a tight grip around his ankle.

"What the-!?" Ryan's eye quickly fell on his ankle. It was another hideous face. 

Blood all over the face, teeth were smashed all over the place inside its mouth, hair was as ugly as possible, but…. It was not biting Ryan's ankle. It just kept its tight grip around Ryan's ankle.

"Was a zombie still left? But the System didn't show it…. Maybe a new zombie was…." Ryan doubted.

'Well. whatever.' he thought as he lifted his leg onto which the zombie was clinging onto. 

As Ryan's leg was lifted up in the air… a sight even scarier than the zombies and their insides spread over the floor, was visible.

'What in the….?' Ryan saw that half of the zombie's body was missing. What was left was a big hole in the zombie's stomach from which its intestines were falling down. 

'Who would do this? Did zombies try eating each other?' was the only possible guess Ryan could make.

Ryan lifted his fist next. A half-torn zombie or not, Ryan will have to kill it anyway. His fists glowed red, darker than before. 

He landed a soft punch on the zombie's face which made it fall behind on its back. Ryan shook his leg in the air. 

"S- s- s- s- save... me…..." Ryan heard a cracking voice asking for help before his feet finally smashed the zombie's brain. 

'Damn. Do zombies speak too? Haha, guess this is a new race of zombies!' Ryan was excited to receive a message from his System.

He excitedly waited for a System notification to pop up in front of him. This would finally tell Ryan what kind of zombie he killed just now. 

'Uh? Where's that person?' Ryan's eyes caught the missing silhouette. 

The flickering silhouette of a person on their knees just a few seconds ago was no longer there. Ryan twisted his head, lifted his body on his toes to take a better look.

'Shit. I missed him, I guess.' Ryan thought that the person caught him while he was busy killing a new kind of zombie.

The person took that as an opportunity and ran away either deeper into the corridor or entered a room. 

'Tch. damn you, you fucking creatures!!' Ryan cursed at the zombie lying dead in front of him.

He took quick steps deep in the dark corridor. He stopped when something hit against the tip of his toes. Ryan looked down and saw another alive zombie in front of him.

'Tch!' Ryan lifted his leg to smash the zombie out of his way.

"N- no, he- help- help-" 

'J- Japanese?' Ryan hesitated before landing his kick on the zombie, 'Well, whatever.' Ryan landed his hard kick and silenced another zombie. 

< Killed a level 15 human and a level 12 human >

< Gained 50 Exp >

His expressions fell. The colors of victory over his face disappeared quickly.. Nothing but fear was left on his face.
