God of Time System: Harem in the Zombie Apocalypse

While Michael entered into the dungeon, the world outside was going through changes which could be only described as… Phenomenal.

Just like Michael guessed, the Zombies were evolving and just like he believed, humans too were evolving. Just within the few days of the Apocalypse started, all the survivors understood that the times are changing.

They did not need a notice or a warning to understand that only the strong will survive in this new world. The fact that weapons that they possess can do little damage to them was a fact they were slowly understanding.

What was left was only to develop their physical power… or was it all there was to it? Nope. Not at all. In fact, there was a critical piece of information which Michael did not know about.

While Evolution did make people much stronger than they would normally be capable of, there was something that evolution brought to the Humans along with physical enhancement.

That is a 'Gift'

An ability.

Those who broke into C-Grade… Those who made past D-Grade… Developed an ability that is specific only to them. Something that will put them apart from the others.

One gained the ability to turn Invisible, while the other one could manipulate his own blood. Then there were those who could steal other's life force, while there were those who could heal the others.

Sadly, not everyone will possess 'Gift' and only 3/4th of the people will succeed to gain their 'Gift' while the others will simply fail to develop theirs.

Those who will gain the 'Gift' will be called Gifted while those who couldn't gain it will be known as Stray ones, and will soon be discarded by everyone as failed ones.

However, it wasn't just the Humans who will gain the 'Gift' but all the Zombies have the capability to unlock their potential and reach a higher grade and develop their own special power that would differentiate them from the other Zombies.

Though that is only after they reach B-Grade or higher.

Did that mean things were going to be difficult for Michael and his friends? That depends upon how well Michael performs within the Dungeon. The better he does, the better the rewards will be, the higher his chances of surviving in a world that runs on a power completely different from his own.

Coming back to the topic of humans, other than power and rankings, just like the socializing animals they are, humans will tend to get together to increase their chances of survival.

There will be a King that rules over the masses and there will be masses getting ruled under the King. There will be settlements, and then there will be a struggle for power. Tension will develop among the settlements and just like how mockable those humans are, they will fight among themselves, not focusing on their prime enemy, the Zombies.

Hmmm… that brings us to the points of Settlements. There are already 7 settlements established around the city where Michael is, including the Libra Building where Michael was looking at things. Though that's just a start, and there will be a few more settlements that will come into existence and a few that will vanish later on.

As for the leaders who are leading the Settlement, almost all of them are D-Grade Zombified Humans, with 2 of them already Reaching C-Grade. It was surprising all the more because it wasn't something that was normal at all.

One has to be too lucky to reach that grade this fast, where normal people would have taken months or even years to reach. Though that's only when you take into account people that are within the City.

When the whole world was taken as one, the numbers were far more, with the strongest one already reaching the B-Grade Zombified human… though she is a totally different case.

Since we are on the topic of Grading, let's see what the Grades of Zombies are as well… the strongest Zombie right now is… B-Grade Zombie. Though it's only a matter of time before more and more B-Grade comes out of the masses, making the number go into 100s or even 1000s.

One particular piece of information is about Hives. Just like the human settlements, some of the Higher Grade Zombies have started forming a minute army of their own, collecting Zombies from all over the place.

The number could differ from a dozen to a whole horde of 100s of Zombies. As for their purpose? That is totally unknown.

But… that's not all… that's not everything at all…

There is one important piece of information that neither Michael nor anyone else has even an ink of an idea of.

Night Crawlers.

A special Zombie strain that a few Zombies have begun to evolve into. It's an end state that Zombies can evolve into other than going through the usual path.

In this path of evolution, the Zombies will lose their chance to gain a special ability along with their ability to walk in the sun. The sun will burn them into ashes if they stay too long in it, but during night…

It would take a dozen C-Grade Zombies to deal with a single Night Crawler. Fun fact, the average Zombie can evolve into a Night Crawler when he reaches Lesser C-Grade… which almost all the Zombies will end up reaching in another month or so.

The world is going Astray in a path that no one can imagine. The balance of power is going to juggle between the humans and Zombies a lot many times. The strong will survive and the weak will be eaten before they could realize. And that is going to continue until there is only one side remaining.

Many will rise up on the pedestal. Many will turn to dust. Many will be known by the entire world, while many will remain in the shadows. And in the end, those who will rise to the top will be the ones to shape the future of this accursed world that has already gone on the path of destruction.
