Rogue – Why?! Why is Nemesis here?! It makes no sense, it's not a natural mutation!
MJ – No, from the beginning we suspected Lucifer not only introduced different zombie viruses, but also some villain...
Nikky – If Nemesis is here, does that mean Umbrella exists in this world?
Rias – You mean that zombie is artificial?
Eve – Sorry to interrupt, but could you explain?
MJ – Sorry, Nemesis it's a biological weapon created by Umbrella. These are some of the most iconic villains in Resident Evil—or Biohazard, however you want to call it.
Erza – Wait, didn't you say this world was the one from High... something?
Gwen – Well, apparently... that guy didn't just use zombies from other worlds, but villains too...
Rogue – It's absurd. Every biological weapon those bastards create has apocalypse-level power. Every virus, every single one... they don't realize they could wipe out the world. That's why personally, I dislike them.
Mayuri – Oh ho, that sounds interesting. Could you tell me more about these biological weapons… specifically this creature?
PersyJ – Leave it to me, I played all the games too. Alright.
Umbrella...
When people mention an evil organization in a zombie apocalypse, that name can never be missing. They are responsible for the world's destruction.
This massive organization has global reach, with multiple governments and countries that—consciously or unconsciously—fall under its will.
Within the organization, there's no shortage of ill-intentioned people who diligently try to corrupt the natural order with their aberrations, mutations, and of course, viruses.
Their motives vary: from seeking immortality, to creating biological weapons, to those who pursue "evolution" by defiling creation itself. And the result stands right before Allen.
Nemesis...
A human mutated through the T-Virus into this thing—a giant monstrosity with overwhelming strength and defense, but at the cost of its humanity. Even a zombie is more human than this creature.
A weapon created to follow orders. Something that was once human but now walks as a monster.
....
Because his access to the Chat was restricted, Allen had no access to that knowledge. So he could only learn about Nemesis while facing it.
"W.A.L.K.E.R..."
Nemesis's fist tried to smash Allen, but Allen tilted his head aside, dodging, and counter-attacked with a punch of his own. With two types of chimeras absorbed, Allen's strength should have been triple—yet Nemesis didn't even feel that hit.
"A resistance similar to the Tank..."
Nemesis roared and kicked at Allen, but Allen withdrew.
"Basic combat capability... then—"
The metallic gleam of Ivory & Ebony appeared.
"Can you handle this, sir?"
The first trigger unleashed a burst of bullets. Nemesis received the first shots across its body; they drew only a few drops of blood.
"Low damage... but it exists..."
As long as there was damage, shooting wasn't useless—so Allen continued. Even if a bee sting isn't deadly, hundreds or thousands of them are.
Nemesis covered its face while resisting the bullets, then grabbed a car and threw it at Allen. Allen dodged it and began to run while firing.
Nemesis charged after him. Its steps seemed slow and heavy, but due to its size, it was actually fast. Allen crossed the parking lot at high speed, but Nemesis was right behind him, brushing aside every vehicle as if they were trash.
"W.A.L.K.E.R."
Nemesis didn't scream, yet its deep voice was clearly audible. This monster was a machine of flesh—one programmed for a single purpose: to seek, capture, or destroy Allen Walker.
It wouldn't stop. It wouldn't rest. It wouldn't give up. Even if it had to chase him to the ends of the earth.
"Tsk" Allen aimed at Ivory and Ebony again and fired over and over.
Another rain of bullets struck Nemesis, forcing it to cover its face. Allen took the opportunity to gain distance, grabbed the grenades he had left, and hurled them at the creature, which couldn't dodge them.
The explosion shook the windows of the vehicles and triggered several alarms.
....
Wade – Wait, since when do pistols have infinite ammo?
Amanda – I thought I was the only one who noticed.
Lucy – Hm? Is that weird?
Raven – They're non-magical weapons. They need to reload...
Barbara – It's really strange...
Rick – Come on, you can't be that dumb. It's obvious he's pulling bullets straight from his inventory into the gun chamber. *Burp*
Nanao – I see. If he does that, he eliminates the need to reload, and as long as he has bullets, he can fire constantly.
Hestia – I don't get it. Why didn't he do that earlier?
The Emperor – He couldn't...
The inventory allows Allen to summon items wherever he wants, but they appear in specific spots. So if Allen wants bullets to appear inside Ivory and Ebony, he has to calculate the exact location where the bullets should materialize. That's not easy when you're moving—and even less when being chased by Nemesis.
Only in his enhanced Beast Mode can Allen do something like that.
....
Meanwhile
Inside the shop area, the dolls were spending time together. They were forbidden from meeting Allen or even leaving their "shops" while he was there—unless he had unlocked theirs. But once he left, they were free to move anywhere as long as they didn't leave the building.
"Hey, what does that mean?!" Rebecca slammed the coffee table. "Does that mean the infinite ammo upgrade is useless now?!"
"Why are you so worked up?" Esdeath asked while playing chess with Wednesday.
"It's nothing..." Rebecca looked away suspiciously.
"I know why," Jalter said while eating chips on the sofa. "To use the infinite ammunition from Rebecca's store, Allen would have to equip himself with cute nekomimi (cat ears), Puff hahaha, you're crazy!"
"Kihihi, Rebecca, you're begging for punishment," Kurumi mocked while floating and reading a book.
"I hate your laugh. But whatever—none of that matters anymore..." Rebecca sighed.
"I wouldn't say that," Bocchi said, putting down her guitar and removing her headphones. "Isn't Allen only supposed to be able to do that in beast mode?"
Realizing that, Rebecca smirked triumphantly. The other girls exchanged looks, knowing Rebecca was digging her own grave, but none of them warned her. She was free to do as she pleased.
Of course, it wasn't just a joke—it was also her way of expressing frustration at being confined.
"By the way, I suppose our shops won't be necessary anymore, right?" Makima said, stroking her chin as she observed the current state of Allen's fight against Nemesis. Even if it looked like Allen was only running away, the fact that he could face a Tier 4 zombie alone made many of the shop items feel unnecessary.
And the world seemed close to ending, so none of them understood why the existence of—
"No... it can't be..."
Albedo fell to her knees, turning pale. She was in charge of the Special Clothing Shop, offering different outfits with bonus effects. "I had imagined taking Allen-sama's measurements to tailor his clothes with devotion. I could have studied every centimeter of his body..."
"Liar!" Harley panicked too. "What about my workshop?! I haven't even strapped weapons onto any of daddy's vehicles yet!"
Many girls sighed. In the end, Allen wasn't a video game character—he could perfectly fight zombies without all the equipment they could offer. So it seemed the world would end without them ever learning what this place could truly provide.
"You girls don't know…?"
Artoria's voice made them settle down. When they turned to look at the goddess, she was calmly drinking tea with 2B.
"What is it?" Jalter growled.
Artoria didn't answer with words. Instead, the wall beside her changed—transforming into a massive progress map.
The moment they saw it, the girls' eyes widened…
"Wait, what does that mean?!"
On the map, there were locations marked all over the world, but they didn't have place names — instead, they showed something else.
– High School of The Dead: 90%
– The Walking Death: 0%
– Resident Evil - Biohazard: 0%
– The Last of Us: 0%
– *****
"Hold on, what is that supposed to mean?" Wednesday frowned. "Those aren't locations, they're worlds. Why are they marked inside this world?"
Artoria took a moment to think before replying. "From what I understand, Lucifer mixed these worlds together to create a zombie world or something like that. Once Allen completes the storyline of one apocalypse, he'll be able to start another one somewhere else in the world. I don't know how it works though, because stories that take place years after the start of the apocalypse shouldn't coexist with ones that start at the beginning… of course, we probably won't start the next zombie apocalypse right away."
Hearing Artoria's explanation, the girls fell silent. That explained why so many different types of zombies existed here — that bastard Lucifer had mixed all the zombie worlds together.
"Although there's one thing that worries me… but I'll keep it to myself until I hear Allen's opinion. Most likely, he'll leave this world once the first zombie apocalypse is complete. After all, it's not pleasant to live in a place like this…"
…
Allen ducked down as a vehicle flew over his head. Fighting Nemesis was irritating — not because of his strength, but because the bastard was a walking damage sponge. Allen had fired over a hundred rounds, used several grenades, and even smashed him with his hammer multiple times, yet the guy barely reacted.
It was a miserable kind of battle. Allen had to land hundreds of lethal blows, but Nemesis only needed to hit him a couple of times and it would be game over.
"W.A.L.K.E.R."
"Well, it's just a matter of holding out long enough to—"
RAAAHHHHH
Allen turned toward the distance. Another cargo helicopter appeared, dropping a crate from which a savage roar exploded.
Dozens of creatures emerged — humanoid beasts with feral features.
"Okay…" Allen turned around and ran shamelessly. "Oh hell no, I'm not fighting a Tier 4 zombie AND a pack of werewolf men!"
"Allen!"
Anemone appeared at full speed riding the motorcycle. She extended her hand, Allen grabbed it, and together they fled the area. Behind them, a pack of wolf-men gave chase. If Allen had his memories or access to the Chat, he would've known these monsters were Lycans from Resident Evil: Village.
"I'm so sick of this world and its creatures…" Allen growled.
From his point of view, he had only wanted to help a group of teenagers find their families in a zombie apocalypse — yet somehow he'd ended up dealing with mutant abominations, biological weapons, futuristic drones, and who knew what else.
"I'd like a trip to the sea… or to relax in a pool…"
"Sounds nice~" Anemone laughed.
Hayabusa sped up, leaving the Lycans behind, as well as Nemesis and Wesker, who had been observing Allen from the start.
This man was in a place called the hive, which was located underground in Shibuya.
"It seems Allen Walker's adaptability rate is even higher than mine… a genetic treasure. Shame the danger he represents makes it impossible to let him live…"
Wesker stood up from his chair.
"Hey, did you recover any samples of his blood?!" Alexia Ashford shoved an operator aside and started scanning the battlefield with the drones.
"Don't bother. Nemesis didn't manage to wound him," Wesker said expressionlessly.
"Damn it!" Alexia slammed the keyboard. "Is this seriously the best they could create in Raccoon City?!"
"…"
Wesker didn't answer, which only made Alexia angrier.
"I need him…" Alexia muttered with a dangerous, obsessive look.
She was improving the T-Virus — not to help anyone, not even as a weapon, but with the primary goal of achieving supreme personal evolution and ruling the world like a queen or goddess.
Of course, Alexia wasn't stupid. She didn't tell anyone in Umbrella her true objective, knowing they would eliminate her if she ever became a threat to them.
So she created a basic version of the T-Veronica Virus, which she handed over to Umbrella — the same one that had ended up inside Allen's container. This ensured that the real Veronica Virus and her true purpose remained hidden from the organization.
However, Veronica was still imperfect. Achieving perfect symbiosis seemed very difficult. She had planned to cryogenically freeze herself for fifteen years, letting the Veronica Virus mature inside her body, but now that plan seemed unnecessary.
She had finally found a human capable of assimilating the virus without any mutation — someone who evolved progressively with all the benefits and none of the drawbacks, aside from occasional loss of temper.
'I need his DNA…' Alexia bit her nails until they bled. Getting Allen's blood seemed difficult if even Nemesis failed to draw a single drop.
Maybe Wesker could do it, but taking samples right in front of him was too risky.
'What other way can I get his DNA?' Alexia watched the drone screens and then smiled. 'Where are you heading now?~'
She could practically feel her ascension to godhood getting closer.
…
Once they reached the rest of the group, Allen felt a weight lift off his shoulders. This mysterious organization was extremely dangerous. His original plan to seek help at the elementary school now seemed risky — not only for them, but for anyone sheltering there. Allen couldn't delay anymore… he needed a proper shelter.
He had seen several shelters along the way, but they were so expensive he didn't even bother checking them.
'System, do you have any recommendations?'
[If you're looking for a large place to keep many people safe, you can choose from the following:
– Mikazuki Hotel: 4000 Hearts.
– Nishi Prison: 5000 Hearts.
– Abandoned Military Base: 6000 Hearts.]
'It's so expensive it makes me want to curse… but is it completely safe?'
[No threat can enter. The area has monitored security, meaning people with harmful intentions are detected instantly. It has water and electricity guaranteed for a decade, and anyone who enters receives a spiritual mark preventing them from betraying the host.]
'That sounds good… that sounds very good.'
"Something wrong?" Anemone asked, noticing Allen deep in thought.
"Nothing, don't worry, smoky sister," Allen shook his head playfully, but the woman didn't believe him.
"You know… I think I can tell when you lie. It's strange… but strangely comforting…"
"Why?" Allen asked, confused.
Anemone smiled. "Because it lets me trust you completely."
"I see." A calmer smile spread on his face.
"Don't worry, you don't have to face those things alone," Anemone said, winking. "Just give me a stronger weapon and you'll see what I'm capable of."
"That's comforting, but sister, look forward while driving. I don't want to die after escaping that thing." Allen gave a mocking smile.
"Tsk, brat."
…
The group didn't go straight to the elementary school where people were evacuating. They searched for shelter and found it in a newly built apartment complex that was still empty.
They blocked the stairs and the elevator, then settled in to rest.
That night, Allen looked at the starry sky through the window as he gently stroked Saeko's hair. She slept with her head on his lap.
"Hm~" Saeko, who was wearing a revealing nightgown, had tried to seduce him, but she was so exhausted that she fell asleep instantly. So Allen let her rest on his lap and stayed with her on the apartment sofa.
Allen had the feeling he was reaching this world's turning point, meaning he might be able to leave soon. However, unlike other worlds where he knew his women would be safe, this world worried him. What would happen to them once he was gone?
'Even if it's temporary, before I leave I need to secure a safe place for them. If necessary… I could even take them out of the country…'
The day ended with Allen deciding on his next steps.
