Chapter 7 7: The Stone Cold Truth

A few moments later, the group from outside managed to push into the room; they saw the bloody John on the floor, his jaw snapped and bleeding heavily.

"Ugh..."

Tears poured from the bruised eyes of the brown-haired boy as Adam Franz walked closer, his blonde hair seeming to sway in the light breeze, and many women swooned for him.

A boy on the football team, known as the university ace, hoping that he would put their city back into the top division; what girl wouldn't find this male attractive? Not to mention, his father was extremely rich.

If Alex Faust was a wild, untamed wolf, then Adam Franz was an elegant and refined german shepherd.

Adam dashed towards the boy lying on the ground. At the same time, Alex ignored what happened and began to take more supplies, stuffing an opened chocolate bar into Claire's cute little mouth as she munched on it with her big wet eyes watching him, fluttering her long lashes.

"J-John... Is that you? What happened... Why are you so injured?"

The handsome boy didn't care much for him, but their fathers were close friends, and he couldn't, just like John, die or suffer this grievance for nothing.

Adam leaned in close and listened to John's gurgled whispers, only to hear the situation stemming from the pretty girl he wanted to taste and the annoying bug that seemed to have come from nowhere and stole Amy from him a year ago.

'Tsk, it's that fucking poor plague.' Adam thought to himself.

"Hey, Alex! Why did you do this to John? You better give me an explanation!"

Adam stood up, and his group of fellow players backed him up; they managed to reach level 2 and felt powerful; this guy who was alone could never have killed those fearsome zombies! Since they didn't see him fighting on the other side of the barn, they believed he forced Claire to fight for him.

Coincidentally, the moment he spoke, Claire also took something out of a small white box she had carried since entering the room.

It was a folded black shirt with a red rose on the chest pocket. So he used "Eagle Eyes" to identify the item before seeing that this item was very helpful to anyone, but only the attributes were useful for himself.

Level 1 Novice Protective Shirt

A black shirt that can protect the user from any primary or novice infection below level 8. Unable to resist any diseases above level 8.

Endurance +1

Strength +1

Claire looked towards him, her face filled with a blush as she held it out towards Alex, "um! It's a thank you for helping me and... It's a man's size and shape, so... Please take it!"

Alex looked at her with a small laugh before his hands reached out to stroke the soft back of her hands with his fingers before pulling her into a brief, tight hug, whispering into her ears.

"Thanks, it means a lot. How can I repay you?" His words were slow and husky and charmed her as she felt his hot, sweet breath blowing across her cheek and down her neck, making her body tremble.

"Mmm... No need... It's f-fine..." She mewed before pressing the shirt against his chest, looking at him with a cute upward glance.

"The fuck!?" John's heart broke even more, hoping she would push him away; his eyes became dull as he saw her head lean against his chest with a happy smile, even if for a moment before she snapped out of it and pulled away.

"Excuse me? It's rude to ignore people..." Adam said, with an irritated voice, his foot tapping the wooden ground.

Once again, he ignored the stupid guy, removed his suit jacket, and slowly unbuttoned his white shirt for all the girls to gasp.

Some hid their faces but peeked through their fingers, enjoying the sight of his perfect muscles that seemed to have only improved thanks to becoming a ghoul, not levelling up.

"Woah! My boyfriend doesn't have any abs... he had eight... ah, mommy wants to rub herself against his chest!" A cute girl around 5ft 2" tall said, biting her lip with a seductive face.

"What are you dreaming... He probably only likes rich women with no experience... What chance do we stand with him..." Her friend with dark skin, cheap jeans, and a shirt scolded her.

'So levels won't make you an overnight muscleman? I feel bad for those who were fat before this... What if the level system removes the ability to lose weight...'

Claire was one of the girls who turned beet red before biting her lower lip; this guy was too damn sexy, although there might be men his equal, although even those seemed vague and blurry to her mind now, she could swear since they met an hour ago, he became even more attractive.

'W-what am I supposed to do? Should I put it on him? Why else is he holding out his arms? Maybe another hug...?'

Shaking her head, she ignored her thoughts that moved towards the lewd and pink colours. Then she placed her arms out, shaking the shirt and ensuring it was neat and had no kinks.

Then slowly, before all the gasping and shocked people, she dressed him in a tight-fitting black shirt with long cuffed sleeves.

"What is she doing...? Isn't he dating Amy?" Whispered a brown-haired girl that seemed a little envious as she eyed Alex and his wonderful body and bulging package.

"Eh? Didn't you hear? She dumped him this morning." A red-headed girl replied, her hands covering her face as she peeked at the scene.

'He's so good; Amy was lucky to have him...' Claire thought, enjoying his masculine but pleasant scent, unlike those stinky guys smelling nasty.

Adam listened to the random gossip, and a smile came to his face; he suddenly turned towards the small brown-haired girl and began speaking confidently and loudly.

"Haha, of course, she dumped him. Amy already has another Finacé. Why would she date a poor, useless thug who spends his days fighting in a suit? Such an uncultured barbarian."

"Oh?"

"Hahaha!"

"Well, a dog shit can't help to be worth a diamond."

Some of the guys who followed Adam began to support him while also eyeing the cute girl. However, they weren't interested in forcing a girl; having a pretty girl around inspired them to fight harder and filled them with the idea.

'Maybe if we fight hard enough, they will be impressed and fall for us.'

"Hmmm?"

Alex fastened the final button on his suit jacket, now like a real thug, only the top button open, showing his muscular chest through the gap of his shirt.

He looked like a wild wolf in human form as his hair was brushed backwards, the grey hair and dark green eyes caused his stock with the women to shoot through the roof, end times and handsome boyfriend who is strong and badass.

Their ovaries are his now. Sorry, simp boyfriends...

Crack! Alex tilted his neck to the side with a loud sound before he walked forward, nobody noticed but he used a sharp edge from one of the barricades to cut his finger before his arm shot out and grabbed the cocky blonde rich boy by his throat tightening the grip to almost crush his airway.

His finger slowly pierced through his flesh with a squishing sound.

Adam winced, letting out a painful moan before he allowed his blood to seep into his meat; showing a sinister smile, Alex leaned forward and whispered into the ears of the now crouching rich boy.

"Oi! Put him down...!" A short black-haired boy tried to stop Alex, only to be greeted by a foot to his face, slamming him back against the wall, followed by a glare that caused his lower body to collapse.

"Little rich boy, we may have broken up, but her little cunt will never forget my shape, a length you could only dream of; it's a shame your pathetic excuse for a cock wouldn't even reach the edges thank's to me stretching her out. Heh!"

Alex smiled at the rich boy sarcastically before tapping his cheek and lifting him off the ground; he began to gasp for air and kicked his feet in the air.

"How does it feel? To have the girl you idolised and begged your dad to become your fiancée, yet she spent every night pounded by a man you felt was far inferior to you, no matter how rich you are. You can never experience her squealing like a pig. She was pressed to the ground with her ass in the air like a hot dog, begging for more!"

The rich boy's face turned pale; his plan to marry her after graduation was a highly kept secret; his father promised she would remain pure until then.

'Fuck this! Why do I have to suffer such humiliation...'

He heard rumours about her current boyfriend being hung like a horse in the boy's shower room gossip. But he always wanted to doubt it; she was his pure and beloved Amy...

"Isn't Alex like hot right now?" The short girl from earlier said, twirling her hair with a deep gaze towards him.

His father's words were supposed to be true, yet finding out this truth almost shattered his heart as his eyes began to dim; starting to hyperventilate and regret being born with an average size, he looked towards Alex with a fierce gaze filled with hatred.

Alex frowned at this little insect's way of looking at him before he slammed him down with a loud thud; some of the barricades near the window snapped and penetrated through the boy's arm as he yelped.

He flicked part of his bloody hand towards John in the same motion, who now gasped for air as it splattered against his open wounds.

"Eugh! Don't flick shit at me..." John cried, swallowing some of the tainted blood; another impotent ghoul was born.

"Argh!"

With one last look, Alex began to turn away and walked back towards Claire, whose mouth was wide open as his words resounded around the room.

"Scum, like you want to touch her? Haha, I'll kill you before you even realise it."

These words caused people to misunderstand that he spoke about Claire, not Amy, due to the whispered voices.

Claire blushed with a happy smile; Alex would never correct this, especially after seeing it give the cute brown-haired girl more confidence.

Eclaire [Affection: 36] +1

'Am I that appealing...?' She thought

The moment after he pressed his fingers against Adam Franz's neck, his status dropped in all categories by four, and his name changed in his "Eagle Eyes."

Adam Franz (Vargeist Stage 1: Germination)

- Level 2 (Immunity: Level 4)

Master: Alex Faust

- Occupation: N/A

- Title: N/A

- Strength: 7 [10]

- Agility: 9 [10]

- Endurance: 6 [10]

- Stamina: 7 [10]

- Willpower: 4 [10]

Although his attributes dropped, thanks to the changes to his mind from the ghoul infection. Adam would not notice the difference and would continue improving as before.

However, Alex forbade them to increase their willpower and endurance because he was an enemy.
