"Greetings, disgusting humans! Let me give you a congratulatory message! One of you insects finally found the Safe Zone in Lone Star City! Fufu~ Congratulations! Stellaria Tu Formosa and the illustrious Alexander Damien Faust!"

That damn woman's voice began to resound in Alex and Stella's heads, causing them to hold onto them in pain; her words were extremely loud, like a loudspeaker turned up to the maximum volume beside their heads.

'Fuck, this woman is so obnoxious!'

Alex thought this, but in his chest, a thought that Sarah and Amy might hear this and know he was alive caused him to become excited; sadly, the woman's next words ruined all of his naive thoughts.

"Well, only the people of Lone Star City can hear me right now, so it doesn't matter! Hey, do you want to get stronger? To survive against these zombies and the second wave in a few weeks? You should head to the Safe Zone in 6 hours!"

Stella's hand grasped Alex as the second wave seemed daunting for her; he tightened around her palm as she seemed to tremble, maybe thinking about her family. His mind also began to travel south, thinking about his mother; she should be fine.

That woman wouldn't die even if she were killed.

Poof! A golden light began to illuminate not only the real world but also the fantasy town in the forsaken realm, causing a huge uproar as the barrier began to crack, before almost shattering as suddenly that annoying old man who kept trying to con Alex shouted in a deep voice.

"Oh, cut it with your damn egotistical nonsense Artemia! You are merely a pawn yourself!"

'The old guy is pretty tough, insulting this powerful woman...' Alex thought.

Woosh!

The brilliant light began to billow and whirl from the church, a massive torrent of golden light forming a second barrier—a third as the broken barrier was rapidly repaired, regaining its powerful gleaming light.

None of the humans wished to hear this bitches voice again; all of them felt dread the moment she began to howl like a horny cat. Thankfully the moment she spoke, all of the zombies and mutants stopped moving as if frozen in time, giving those that were about to be devoured or infected a second chance.

Deep down, these people remembered the names of the two; despite not doing it on purpose, those two people had saved their lives!

"What the hell is going on?" The dark elf nun spoke, her voice melodic and wondrous like a charming song.

A man came out of the church, followed by a large group of armed soldiers and priests, including an old man. The man's clothes were tattered and blood-stained, his face covered in grime and sweat; he looked more like a warrior than a priest. He wore a pair of white trousers and a red shirt underneath a black cloak, both ripped and torn.

"Nothing serious, that evil god that took everything from us all is here again. It seems we will have another chance at redemption; let's hope that the new planets residents are more pleasant and don't try to attack or enslave us the moment we meet. The second this barrier fades, they might attempt to conquer it like Valdus 5, that stupid planet of humanoid bugs."

The old man's face became stern when he remembered the last planet that this insane woman had destroyed.

However, their patron god and one of their saviours were using his power to resist her, buying them another month at least before magic and offensive skills would work in the village. Although they could attack the invaders, they could only fight after being attacked by a resident.

"I am worried; last time, it was alright, but look at those two over there. This time it seems to be a human-dominated planet, but you remember what happened with Zeldan Senturi?" The dark elf clutched her habit, her large breasts slightly peeking as countless dark scars filled her flesh as she looked at Alex with fear.

"They're probably going to kill everyone, aren't they?" The dark elf asked with trembling lips. "They'll probably just massacre everyone and then eat us too!"

"No need to worry; I think those two don't seem to pose any ill will; the man even gained the interest of our patron god, so try to be civil to those two alone; they did find this place within a week after all..." the old man answered confidently. "We won't die so easily, even if they choose to be our enemies in the end!"

The soldiers and priests laughed with their leader as they could no longer hear that woman's voice; thanks to the reinforced barrier, her influence vanished from the small forsaken village.

Alexander and Stella couldn't hear their words, only listening to the woman who began to cackle before the sound distorted and vanished.

"Damn bitch!" Alex yelled.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the campus, towards the west, close to a huge shopping mall, one built when the university was planned with over 100 regular stores and 40 food stores, a woman with a muscular body, her long wavy dark brown hair and dark red eyes peering at a huge group of zombies and another group of survivors hiding in the opposite buildings stepped forward, her arms and chest filled with various wounds and scars. However, it made her look more attractive, like a wild beauty.

'There are 12 humans, 82 zombies and many more inside the shopping mall. Let's prepare to storm them; kill the humans if they get in the way.'

Nodding to herself, she dragged her spear, now blunted with several dents, where she was forced to use power rather than finesé. She looked at the damaged spear, thinking about the man who would violently swing his sword around, fighting in that huge corpse wave several days ago.

"Alex... Did you die?"

Alex had given her more than just a gift; once she realised the benefits he gave her, there was nothing but respect for him. He didn't intend to ever meet up with her; only the order to increase her willpower remained, but that was for her good. Once she reached 20 willpower, she could use her skills without worry and began to understand more about herself and the changes.

'A ghoul... His ghoul... His Vesta.' Claire looked back at the five girls who helped her get this far, all of them now 'his' vesta as they all took various roles, from a tanking role with the bulky and muscular girl from the south. Two cheeky short girls who were plump with large breasts and plump rears that both used a different element of magic.

Her team was not perfect; they had lost one of the vestas early on to a strange mutant that was incredibly fast. After that, meeting up with another group of around 10 people led by a male named Chu Feng; he was from the distant east and seemed skilled with a sword, although he was trusted by the group that followed him; 6 boys and 4 girls all of the girls being his women, which caused Claire never to place her trust in this man.

Claire signalled the vesta to follow her, slowly circling the zombies as they got in position, always watching the other group of humans just in case they made a movement and tried to get the fisherman's profit.

Suddenly, the sky began to turn golden, illuminating the entire city, as a wretched voice poured into the mind of everyone present. At first, Claire planned to ignore it, but then she heard "his" name, and her heart began to throb rapidly, as did the girls behind her, knowing all about him as Claire brainwashed them into believing in "Alexander."

She used his full name because it sounded more sophisticated, making her words and preaching more suited to her tastes. Honestly, she liked his full name more than the short version, and after becoming a ghoul after eating a human's corpse in desperation when her desire to feed overtook her mind.

'He's alive... Alex... You didn't die!'

"Girls, the zombies seem to have stopped moving! Attack these fuckers and get some free spoils! The one that does the best, I will personally introduce you to our leader!'

"OOOH!" The vesta all shouted, feeling elated as their leader pumped them up.

Behind Chu Feng followed the group, his eyes watching the extremely attractive women, who were both powerful and women he wanted to join his harem; his eyes looked back to the above average women, two of which were weak and merely vases that enjoyed his protection using their bodies.

"Let's follow those women." Chu Feng mumbled before dashing forward

'You can act all aloof and cold, Claire, but I know you western women can't resist a strong, resolute man of justice!'

'I am the strongest; I will take you down!'

Back in the Village, Stella began twirling around with her reward from the chest, a strange dress that seemed to fuse with her mantle so she could easily change her clothes.

"Hey~ look at me, big pervert! How is my body in this tight dress?" Stella switched her clothes to a skintight latex dress, then formed a bodysuit, spinning around faster as her breasts and ass freely wobbled and swayed as she seemed happy.

Alex enjoyed watching her ass and body tightly wrapped in latex while using "Eagle Eyes" to see its effects as she danced around like an idiot, her wings flapping as they could easily fit through the latex, her body floating a few metres off the ground before she started hovering around Alex wanting to peek at his reward.

"Show me~ come on! I let you hold my hand! Fufu ~ please, Alexander."

"Stop poking me with your fat ass!" He moaned, pushing her away, grabbing a firm feel as he did so. While her body clung to him as she floated around his head because he was sick of it, Alex lifted the lid slowly once again.

At first, Alex thought his reward was less impressive but would wait until he met a blacksmith before judging.

He grabbed her soft hand before heading towards the village with bright eyes.

"Let's check out the village. We only have 6 hours before everyone else comes! We need to see if there are any rare things the first people get!"

Stella was still enjoying her new outfit as she kept the bodysuit, then added a frilly dress over it, not wanting to show her body to others so easily; Alex saw her body enough already, so she started to care less, her little wings still fluttering as she followed him in the air.

"I want to get a cool weapon~ let's see the blacksmith, Alex!" Stella said with a commanding tone.

Thus the pair began to head towards the old man's blacksmith, who once again started hammering at the anvil; he looked around 50 but still had tight muscles and was quite short, sadly the cute dark elf nun was no longer around for Alex to perv on.

'She had the biggest tits I've ever seen!' He thought while comparing to Stella beside him, who looked at the small food stalls with a growing stomach.

That moment reminded Alex that he no longer felt hunger for these foods, but the freshly cooked meat, which seemed to be a monster of some kind, tickled his appetite slightly, not smelling like rotten fish or expired milk.

"Stella, shall we get some food first? You've been working hard, and I want to treat you to some of those meat skewers!"

"Mmmm!!!"

Stella's eyes brightened once he spoke as she began to flap her wings even faster in delight, forgetting most of the things Alex did to abuse her, even though his hand was now resting on her ass like it was natural as she floated beside him.
