BXBX NOVEL Chapter 15 15: Five Days
As Kyle kept on walking upfront, Corey kept on cursing Kyle endlessly in his mind.
\'What the hell do you mean by \'That was the point\'?
It doesn\'t even make any sense
You\'ll just be acting calm and cool every single time just cause you\'re handsome and the best medical student in school
One day I\'ll become cool and handsome also.
More handsome than you
Besides I didn\'t become dumber, it\'s those fucking Smileys and the useless Universal System
This is just a phase
A coping mechanism.\'
"If you\'re done cursing me in your mind, we\'re here."
Corey was jolted out of his internal rambling state and he looked around with slight confusion.
"Uh?"
Taking a second to regain his bearings, Corey remembered the words of Kyle and with a cough of embarrassment, he spoke.
"I wasn\'t cursing you. Why would I curse you? You\'re my friend. Friends don\'t curse each other right?"
Kyle raised an eyebrow and looked at Corey with a look saying, \'You think I believe you?\'
Corey cleared his throat and looked at the door behind Kyle and decided to change the subject.
"Let\'s go and meet the other survivors. We should not just be standing here."
Kyle chuckled amusedly and without saying a word, he opened the door leading to the dining area of their school cafeteria.
The moment Corey stepped through the door, Corey felt numerous pair of eyes land on him. He looked around the dining area and saw approximately twenty students like Kyle said. Most were males but there were few females.
As Corey was observing all of them, the males stood and saluted in Corey\'s direction confusing and stunning Corey.
\'Why are they saluting me?\'
Corey wondered and saw one of the females come towards his position. He noticed she was wearing security clothes which looked hot on her.
\'Is she also coming for me?\'
"Food is ready Sir."
Just as Corey was about to point to himself and embarrass himself, Kyle beside him spoke.
"Thank you Mira."
\'Oh, forgot about mr cool guy beside me.\'
And as Corey was about to go into his inner ramblings again, Kyle spoke.
"Let\'s eat Zane. You need the energy to fully heal."
Without waiting for Corey\'s reply, he walked towards one of the seats in the diner and Corey followed behind since he was truly hungry.
As for Mat and Mac, they didn\'t follow and went to a different seat.
Reaching their seats, Corey sat opposite Kyle and looked at the food on their table with surprise.
"This is the best food on the menu in school. They only sell it once per week and to get it is war."
Corey said and looked at Kyle who had a calm look, not surprised at the quality of the food.
"What happened guy. How did you become the boss of this place? How come they all treat you like this?"
Corey questioned and Kyle who was about to dig his fork into his food, paused and looked at Corey.
"Because I\'m me."
Corey\'s mouth twitched and his hand became very itchy. He wanted to beat somebody so badly.
Kyle\'s face suddenly looked so beatable.
"Speak English."
Corey said through gritted teeth and Kyle turned his head slightly and raised an eyebrow.
"But I am.\'
Snap
Corey\'s fork snapped and with dead eyes, he spoke his words, word for word.
"SPEAK-EN-GLISH-YOU-BASTARD."
Kyle still with a \'confused\' expression spoke calmly.
"But I\'m speaking English."
Pop
Something popped inside of Corey\'s head and he looked at Kyle with annoyance.
"Speak properly you motherfucker!"
Meanwhile Kyle, with a more confused expression spoke.
"But I\'m not a mother fucker. I\'ve never fucked my mother or anybody\'s mother." He paused then a second later, he had a look of realization.
"Oh yeah, there was that day with your Mom.
Are you talking about that day?
How did you catch us?
I thought we were discreet about it?"
Corey gritted his teeth and if looks could kill, Kyle would have died a zillion times.
What truly pissed Corey off was the calm look and smile the bastard in front of him always has even when saying something like that.
It made the already cool bastard look more cool even when he was dissing somebody.
Like how can you make dissing cool?
Corey was envious as fuck!!!
As for the Kyle\'s words, it didn\'t bother him one bit, not because he didn\'t care about his mother, he obviously did, it didn\'t bother him since he had also said stuffs like that to Kyle and his past friends, so he was absolutely chill with that.
Fuuuuuu
Corey took in a deep breath, then exhaled a few times to calm his nerves. A few seconds later, he looked at Kyle who was eating with a small smile and spoke.
"Out of everybody in our group, you\'re the one I hate the most."
Kyle chuckled, then spoke.
"You\'re just jealous cause you know you can never be as handsome as me."
Corey\'s mouth twitched and he inhaled and exhaled once again while saying a mantra inwardly.
\'Kyle is a bitch
Kyle is a bitch
Kyle is a bitch
Kyle is a bitch
Kyle is a bitch
Kyle is a …\'
Kyle chuckled once more seeing Corey\'s expression. He could guess what was going on in Corey\'s mind but he wasn\'t going to say anything. He was hungry.
A few seconds later Corey exhaled and felt like the nature energy was flowing positively towards him, that was until Kyle spoke.
"If you\'re not going to eat your food, I\'ll eat it for you."
And the nature energy became negative.
Corey with a threatening look and tone looked at Kyle and spoke.
"Don\'t you dare touch my food."
Corey grabbed a spoon beside his plate and started eating. Kyle chuckled softly seeing Corey eating so fast and grabbed a napkin by his plate. He cleaned his mouth and spoke.
"The reason why the people here treat me like this is because I\'m the strongest and I saved their lives. After saving their lives, I brought them to the cafeteria where there would be enough food. I also helped them to level up and get stronger."
Corey looked at Kyle with surprise and quickly swallowed his food before speaking.
"What level are you at and what did you wish for?"
Kyle did not reply Corey for a few seconds before speaking.
"I\'m level 36 and I wished to be a mage."
Kyle spread out his palm and a tongue of flame appeared on his palm causing Corey\'s mouth to go wide and his eyes to be green with envy.
\'What the fuck!
Not only is he handsome and cool, he has an attack powered skill and he\'s also level 36?!!
This is not fair!!
This is not fair at all!!
I wanted an attack powered skill to protect myself but I got none!
And this bastard has one?!!
Why is the heavens favoring this bastard?!!
And how the fuck is he level 36?!!\'
Corey kept on looking at the tongue of flame which was dancing over Kyle\'s palm with unconcealed envy. Just as Corey\'s eyes seemed like it wanted to devour Kyle, Kyle calmly spoke once again.
"If you don\'t believe that I\'m level 36, you can check it out."
Kyle stretched out his right hand which had a red eye and a translucent screen appeared on top of his hand.
Corey checked the translucent screen and saw that the only thing he could see was Kyle\'s level which showed that he was level 36, nothing more.
"How did you do that?" Corey asked.
"Only allowing you to see my level?" Kyle questioned and Corey nodded.
"Just tell the Universal System in your mind." Kyle said after closing his status screen much to Corey\'s shock.
"So it\'s not that useless after all." Corey muttered and Kyle looked at Corey with a confused expression, then a thought appeared in his head.
\'He can\'t be talking about the Universal System right?\'
Kyle thought but later dismissed it as something absurd. He didn\'t believe there would be anybody that would have the guts to call the Universal System useless considering it was literally what gave them all their wishes and caused them to be like this, but little did he know that didn\'t give a shit about the Universal System and even wanted to beat it up.
After abandoning this absurd thought, he looked at Corey who looked lost in his thoughts and spoke.
"Zane"
"Hmm." Corey looked at Kyle, leaving his thoughts temporarily behind.
"Your sister called four days ago. Your family was worried about you but don\'t worry they\'re alright, at least from the last time they called which was yesterday." Kyle said and Corey\'s eyes widened.
"What do you mean by four days ago? The apocalypse has only happened for one day. A day has not even passed." Corey said and Kyle tilted his glasses upwards slightly.
"You\'ve been asleep for five days Zane. Today is the fifth day."

[A/N: This chapter was sponsored by blank_blank_ for dropping 3 power stones.
Thank you so much for voting using power stones. I really appreciate it.
Also, like I promised. You\'re the FIFTH person to drop more than two power stones and I will use your name in my book.
You can tell me what you want as your wish in the comment section and if you don\'t have any. I\'ll think of one for you.
So people, first of all, I\'m sorry I\'m dropping the bonus chapters late.
I didn\'t really like the last two chapters I dropped cause It felt uninteresting to me. I\'m the type of person who is not easily interested in things, so if I\'m feeling bored while typing my novel, I don\'t like it.
Because of that, I had to take a break to reorganize my thoughts and think of what to write that\'ll be interesting.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and the incoming ones, I still have to release two more chapters today before I sleep.
Then I have a bonus chapter to write tomorrow because somebody dropped two power stones.
Have a nice day/night.
