"WHY THE HECK IS THAT ZOMBIE APPEARING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME RIGHT NOW?!
System, what should I do?!"
[SYSTEM]
IT'S SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST DUDE YOU DIE IF IT'S NOT YOUR TIME, YOU LIVE IF.
IT'S YOUR TIME. YOU DIE.
SO, STOP YAPPING AT ME AND JUST FIGHT THAT THING WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT, LET FAITH DECIDE.
---
"Hell nah, that thing might explode!
I'm no idiot. Allisha would not be able to kill that thing."
Alfred continued yapping, but then he stopped when the system finally message him in a serious manner, knocking the sense out of him, saying:
[SYSTEM]
LISTEN UP, ALFRED CLIFF, IT'S TRUE ALLISHA CAN'T DEFEAT THAT THING ON HER OWN, BUT WILL YOU ON HER SIDE DO YOU THINK YOU TWO WOULDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO DEFEAT THAT MUTANT ZOMBIE?
THERE'S A REASON WHY THE GODDESS OF LOVE CHOSE TO GIVE YOU THE POWER OF THE SOUL CONTRACT AND ME AS YOUR SYSTEM.
AND I BELIEVE THAT IS BECAUSE YOU TRULY LOVE YOUR GIRLFRIEND TO THE POINT THAT YOU WOULD EVEN RISK YOUR LIFE FOR HER.
ISN'T IT THAT THE REASON WHY YOU RAN THROUGH THE ZOMBIE INFESTED STREET OF THIS CITY IN THE HOPES THAT YOU'RE GIRLFRIEND MIGHT STILL BE ALIVE AND THAT YOU WANT TO PROTECT HER?
DIDN'T YOU SELFLESSLY WORRY ABOUT YOUR GIRLFRIEND, WHO HAS BECOME A ZOMBIE, THAT SHE MIGHT CHOKE?
EVEN THOUGH YOU SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT YOURSELF, SINCE SHE IS BITING YOUR NECK LIKE AN ANIMAL?
---
Alfred fell silent for a moment after hearing the system talking, but after just 3 seconds, he finally spoke back to the system with a confident voice, saying:
Yeah, you're right, system. If both of us attack that zombie at the same time, we will have a higher chance of defeating it.
Thank you for knocking some sense into me.
[SYSTEM]
GLAD TO HEAR THAT.
NOW FIGHT THAT FREAKING MUTANT ZOMBIE WILL ALL YOUR MIGHT.
THE GODDESS OF LOVE IS WATCHING YOU INTENTLY.
REMEMBER THE DAGGERS STATS WILL BE BASED ON HOW STRONG THE ZOMBIES YOU KILL IN THIS APARTMENT, AND AS WELL AS THE QUALITY OF THE SOUL FLAME ESSENCE.
SO GOOD LUCK.

Alfred, after hearing the generous reward that he would get if he killed the mutant zombie, immediately felt like his adrenaline glands were pumping like never before.
He felt his body start to get filled with and flow with insane adrenaline.
His feared mind and body just a moment ago instantly vanish and are now replaced with one primary thing: The sense of being fearless and daredevil.
Then, as the fat mutant zombie continued to walk closer and closer towards Alfred and Allisha.
Alfred immediately ordered her girlfriend to fight the zombie together.
Allisha quickly nodded, and together they rushed straight at the zombies from both sides.
"HEY FAT ASS ZOMBIES EAT THIS"
ALFRED YELLED AS HE USED HIS BAT TO SMACK THE ZOMBIE'S HEAD.
ARGHHH...
THE ZOMBIE ROARED IN AGONY AND IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO PUNCH ALFRED.
Fortunately, Allisha immediately attacked the zombie's belly using her hands that suddenly grew sharp and long nails.
ARGHHH...
The zombies continued to scream in pain
As Allisha continued to deliver blow after blows of slashes against the belly of the mutant zombie.
While Alfred continued to smack the zombie's head with full force that he could muster.
But suddenly, the mutant zombie managed to aim its fat and heavy hands towards Allisha's face
punching her and smashing her body towards the nearby wall, pinning her in place like a portrait, but not your typical one.
A portrait in 3d with blood gushing from her head.
"YOU BASTARD!"
WHACK, WHACK, WHACK...
Alfred became so furious that he kept whacking the mutant zombie's head one after another with every strike getting faster and faster and stronger and stronger until...
"DIE !!!"
WHACKKKKK
and with one final and strong whack in the head using the baseball, the zombie mutant's head finally cracked open, with his fat body stumbling to the corridor, creating a huge noise and a bit of shaking.

[SYSTEM MESSAGE]
CONGRATULATIONS ALFRED. YOU HAVE KILLED THE FAT MUTANT ZOMBIE.
AND DUE TO THAT YOU HAVE GAINED A MEDIUM GREEN SOUL FLAME ESSENCE ( Rank E+)
---
Then, as soon as Alfred finished reading the message, a bright, big green flame essence appeared from the dead zombie's chest that immediately headed and merged towards Allisha, creating a bright green light.
Then, as soon as the green light faded
Allisha's status window appeared in front of Alfred:

HEALING: 2 HP PER SEC.
DEFENSE: 4

---
Hahhh....Hahhh....Hahhh ...
Alfred was breathing heavily as his adrenaline finally wore off and was about to smash straight to the cold, hard floor of the corridor when suddenly he was caught by a warm, familiar, soft hands.
Even without looking at the face of the person who caught him, he could tell with 100 percent certainty that it was his girlfriend, Allisha, who prevented him from smacking the hard floor.
"Hahhh, I miss these soft hands. Finally, you're starting to become more human, Allisha."
Alfred said in a weak voice as he slowly tilted his head towards Allisha's face.
Allisha's face was still emotionless and pale, but for someone like Alfred, who knows he's girlfriend, he could clearly tell she became a bit more human after upgrading to level 2, not just because of her warmer hands but rather because he could sense by how Allisha gently used her hands to prevent him from falling to the floor.
unlike a couple of minutes ago, where all of her movements felt like a robot being ordered to do so.
"Oh, Allisha, I really missed the gentleness and care that you always give to me."
Alfred said while tearing up in tears of joy as he embraced Ella in a soft hug.
That immediately made him feel the warmth and softness of her girlfriend's body that a moment ago felt so cold, lifeless, dull and hard, that immediately made him cry with tears of joy.
