Chapter 2: Oh, Hell Yes—A HUD!
No response.
I sighed, rubbing my temples. "Alright, let's try the classics."
"Status."
Nothing.
"Menu."
Nada.
"Inventory."
Zip.
"…Help?"
Still nothing. And now I just felt pathetic.
I ran a hand down my face. "Cool, cool. Love that for me."
I mean, what kind of transmigration doesn't come with a built-in cheat system? Did I miss the tutorial? Was I supposed to fill out some paperwork? Because right now, I was feeling severely underpowered for a guy about to live through a zombie apocalypse.
And just as I was about to give up and accept my fate as just another survivor, something flickered in the corner of my vision.
[Initializing…]
I froze.
Oh.
Oh, hell yes.
A floating HUD? Step one of every good isekai protagonist's journey? ✅
Now, let's see what kind of nonsense I'm working with.
Takashi Komuro
Race: Human
Characters Assimilated:
Fully Assimilated: None
In Progress: [Empty] [Empty]
Powers: None
System Functions Unlocked:
Spin (1 available)
I exhaled. "Okay, let's break this down."
So, no immediate overpowered abilities. No instant "Congratulations, you are now an immortal god" cheat codes. Just a gacha button.
A fucking gacha button.
Great. I love gacha. I love spending my hard-earned patience pulling for meta-breaking units only to get a three-star weapon and depression.
But hey, let's stay positive.
Apparently, I get one spin per day, with rewards pulled from the entire Omniverse. Which means I could get something actually useful, like telekinesis or teleportation…
…Or I could get a single Pokéball with no Pokémon inside.
At least there was no "log in now or lose your streak!" nonsense. I could hoard my spins like a true gacha veteran, wait for a good banner, and do a ten-pull.
I checked the screen again.
Spins: 1
I mean, no harm in testing it out, right? Maybe I'd get lucky.
"Alright, RNGesus," I muttered, cracking my knuckles. "Bless me with your divine mercy."
The moment I willed the spin to happen, the counter dropped to zero. A golden card materialised in front of me.
My breath hitched.
A package card.
Shit. My dawn luck.
It's means it contains more than one card, but a collection of similar item , character or world etc
I grabbed it, eyes scanning the name.
Minhkhoa Khan aka Ghost-Maker.
Huh.
Not bad. Not exactly top-tier, but I wasn't about to complain.
Ghost-Maker. Batman's old rival. A guy who trained under the same masters, but decided he liked murdering criminals instead of just scowling at them.
Not quite on Batman's level, but not far off, either.
Honestly?
Not a bad first pull.
Could've been worse.
Could've been a cursed umbrella or a slightly used condom.
I flipped the card over, half-expecting some fine print like:
"Terms and Conditions apply. Side effects may include sudden urges to monologue and an inflated ego."
Nope. Just my first step toward becoming a certified badass.
I accepted the template.
And… nothing happened.
No sudden muscle memory. No newfound urge to kill.
No "I know kung fu" moment like Neo in The Matrix.
Before I could even process my disappointment, another prompt popped up:
[Assimilation in Progress: 1%]
Estimated time for full assimilation: ???
Conditions for faster assimilation: Train, fight, survive.
I blinked. So… no freebie downloads? I actually have to put in effort?
Fucking rude.
But fine. At least that meant I wouldn't wake up one day thinking I was a rich Asian playboy with a murder kink.
Before I could dwell on that, something else hit me.
Like, an actual mental slap of realization.
I had a system.
I had a gacha system.
Which meant—
This world wasn't going to follow canon.
I glanced around the hallway, suddenly hyperaware of how normal everything looked. Too normal. Suspiciously normal.
Highschool of the Dead was already a hellscape waiting to happen—but if I could pull anything from the Omniverse…
Who's to say other random shit wasn't already here?
The evidence was right in front of me.
Tomo Aizawa, Marin Kitagawa, and many others.
If they were here… who else was?
More importantly—
What the hell else was lurking out there?
And if the zombie virus wasn't the only thing coming?
I needed to step up my game. Fast.
I exhaled, running a hand through my hair.
"Alright… first things first."
1. Train like my life depends on it. (Because it absolutely does.)
2. Stockpile supplies. (Because society's about to collapse, and I ain't looting on an empty stomach.)
3. Figure out what other crossover madness is happening. (Because ignorance? Yeah, that's how you get isekai'd twice. And I'm not testing my luck.)
I glanced at my reflection in a nearby window.
Takashi Komuro.
Once just another generic harem protagonist in a horror anime.
Now?
A man with a system. A future badass-in-progress.
And if this world was about to go to hell?
Well—
I wasn't just going to survive.
I was going to thrive.
