Pause System: Harem In The Apocalypse-Novel

A large figure crashed into the middle of the world, crushing the unfortunate zombies which happened to be at it's point of landing.

The figure slowly rose up, displaying large bulky body with black horns extended out of his head. A bald giant who towered over the zombies standing at a little over 8 feet tall.

"Huh? What's this? I can't feel any life coming from them and yet they are moving?" He asked as he looked over at the zombies swarming around him.

Covered in bloods, parasites and injuries, they hastily clenched their jaws on the man's body, putting all their power into eating him, and tearing his flesh.

But it had no effect.

"Ah. This must be what they were telling us to be wary of. This, a threat?"

Not even a scratch could be seen forming around the man's skin as he grabbed one of their heads, and squashed it, crushing it with little effort.

"What a funny joke."

He proceeded, to walk along the road, crushing the zombies as if they were flies, before stopping ahead of a building. A smile grew on his face, as he asked. "They said I was free to let loose.".

Squatting down, he swung his arms back launching away the zombies in the way before suddenly, leaping directly at the building.

*CRASH!*

Despite his abnormal size, his leap had caused him to crash all the way up into the fifth floor which was countless meters off the ground.

The smile on his face disappeared once he saw what was inside.

Inside, a young girl could be seen trembling with watery eyes. She stood ahead of an old lady and had her arm stretched out as if shielding her.

"S-S-S-Stay back!"

A faint blue glow could be seen coming out of the girl's hands, it seemed to have been some sort of ability, but she it appeared that she still hadn't grasped how to use it.

The man clicked his tongue. "Disappointing. Are the beings of this planet we're invading, truly this inferior? To not even be able to strike when their life is at danger." He muttered as he raised his hand. "Truly disappointing."

"MUM!! RUN!!!" The young girl shouted.

But by then, it was too late, the man had already swung his hand down, it was only inches away from the coming into contact with the building and collapsing the whole floor.

The fear in her eyes as she screamed her mothers name was overlapped by the sounds of explosions going on throughout the city.

*WHAM*

,m It all happened in a flash. A figure had appeared out of nowhere from behind the giant, with a kick landed on the side of his neck. But it seemed to have no effect as the giant was completely frozen in place.

The one who had conducted the kick was a young man with unkempt Gray hair, and bright yellow eyes. He wore a simple summer attire, wearing a simple blue shirt paired with black shorts and sandals.

The lady and the young girl couldn't believe their eyes. This was easily one of the strangest encounters they had since the beginning of the Apocalypse.

As if teleporting, the young boy vanished from behind the man, before appearing ahead of him. His arm pulled back, his fist clenched before he began unleashing a barrage of punches right at him. The punches were fast, she could barely keep track of them.

And as if to end the barrage, the young man jumped, spinning his body mid-air as he landed a kick right on the side of the horned giants head.

[Unpause]

*WHAM!*

As if the punches had previously been delayed, the man's back suddenly sprung back as air burst through it. His body seemed to lift off the ground, as a series of air bursts followed after. A fist print could be seen on the man's stomach on the exact area where he had received the blows.

"Blow away." Gray muttered.

And just like that, the man burst of from the hole which he had created.

Gray glanced back at the two who were terrified, before vanishing without a trace.

—————

In the middle of the city, Gray's silhouette could be seen leaping from building to building. He rotated his body mid-air before using his knife in it's reverse grip position to misdirect the giant's fist, causing it to slide right past him.

At that moment, Gray sent a rotating kick, straight at their head, aimed at their temple right beneath the man's horns.

*Thud*

Gray's eyes froze open as they looked completely unharmed by the kick, and still even managed to swing their fists right at him to counter.

[Pause]

Their figure paused mid-air, stuck in the exact same position. Gray's figure which slowly drew further and further away due to the momentum, vanished and appeared beneath the man with a knife thrusting up at its chin.

*Chip*

Gray's pupils dilated, the knife chipped in half. Partly because it's steel was already downgraded from all the use and rust but mainly because of how hard this man's skin was.

Gray felt as if he had been attacking a metal wall with each and every punch.

With no other option, Gray proceeded to leap up, landed a rising kick from beneath the man's chin before finishing it off with a dropping Axe kick which landed right on the middle of his face, caving it in.

[Unpause]

Despite just having been attacked, the moment he was released from the pause, the man had stretched out his arms to grab Gray, not an ounce of fear for the pause.

Gray leapt, off his face at that instant. His panting grew more apparent as he was slowly getting exhausted.

'What the hell…?'

Despite all of the hits he had given him and the blood running down his nose. The man was smiling. Even after all of those blows he was still standing, unscathed throughout his body.

"Haha… HAHAHAHA… I'm so happy… To think I'd be able to be entertained…" The giant muttered to himself.

At that moment, the smile grew more sinister as he released his blood lust.

"Keep me entertained.." He added, with an amused look, before appearing behind Gray.
