My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 107

Her awakened ability remained unchanged from her previous lives, yet her current stats showed remarkable improvement. Before the apocalypse, she was merely an office worker, incapable of single-handedly killing a zombie in her early encounters with the undead.

Now, despite her body’s protests and the agony of newly strained muscles, she managed to execute strenuous attacks with surprising efficiency. While her reflexes weren’t as sharp as they once were, her reliance on past experiences compensated for this drawback.

Though not quite like a muscle memory, it was still almost the same but the only downside was that her reaction time wasn’t as quick as in her prime.

But that was understandable, she already felt that she was making progress here. "What’s on your mind?" Duke’s voice reverberated in her right ear, it was warm and alluring that Kisha felt her back tremble a little and since her back was resting on Duke’s chest, he also felt that little reaction from her which elicited a soft chuckle from him. He wanted to tease her even more.

As Kisha slowly turned her head, she realized there was one person in the room she hadn’t checked yet. Meeting Duke’s mischievous gaze, she found herself locked in a silent exchange. Duke, undeterred, maintained his steady gaze, mirroring her own.

"Host, are you absolutely certain about this?" 008’s sarcastic tone resonated in Kisha’s mind. "I believe it might be wise to spare yourself some heartache." 008 didn’t miss the opportunity to remind Kisha of the last time they checked Duke’s status window, a memory that still rankled deep within her. Duke appeared to be adored by the world and he was just like a killing machine of his own.

Kisha ground her teeth in frustration as she recalled the infuriating moment in Duke’s office when she had checked his status window. Despite the irritation, she forced herself to calm down. Uncovering Duke’s abilities was crucial; in her previous life, he had displayed numerous abilities, many of which remained obscured from her knowledge.

Kisha’s lips tightened in frustration, and 008’s amusement only aggravated her further. She could practically hear its mocking thoughts: Host, you’ve gained those extra 10 points, but he still outmatches you.

"Host, don’t slander me. That’s not what I’m thinking though!" 008 protested defensively, as if stung by Kisha’s assumption.

"At least try to mask your laughter if you want to be believable." Kisha’s brows knitted because she really felt that it was unfair that this guy was so strong even before he awakened and when he did, he still had all the high-class attack-type abilities which were widely coveted and revered types of abilities. She sighed inwardly, wishing for just a fraction of his innate strength.

While her ability doesn’t even look or sound that flashy, so everyone always assumes that she’s just a sidekick with a weak ability because everyone’s been hearing about telekinesis and such even before the world turned out like this, so they are already somehow immune to what her ability could do and they already formed a misconception about it without actually knowing the full extent of what she actually could do.

Duke watches Kisha as her expression turns every second, her brow’s every crease to how her lips purse in frustration, and how her eyes reflect envy as she stares at him. He was amused, to say the least, it’s as if she was looking at something about him that was making her so jealous but she couldn’t do anything about it and could only try to pacify her own self.
