Hidden Mission: Home Planet's True Nature

"Roarrrr!" 'Get away from my territory!'

Wide-eyed, Lei was shocked to understand what the zombie said. 'Territory? Since when did zombies have territories?' she thought.

After seeing that the zombie has what she wants on her head, she decisively chose to come close.

"Rooarr!" 'Get away!' the zombie roared as she swayed her bag away from Lei. Shocked by the sudden change, Lei chose to jump away instantly.

"Then do you have any more hats? I badly need one!" Lei tried to communicate with the female zombie.

"Roar? Roar!" 'Hat? No more!' the zombie answered while tilting her head to the left.

'It seems like this zombie has some brains in her,' Lei thought. 'System, I just want to ask, is she at Level 2? What is her element?' she asked. Of course, this is in the form of thought.

"Scanning. Scanning complete. She's at Middle tier Level 2, young lady. But her element is not listed in the Element List. After scanning, System found out that her element is poison."

Lei's eyes went wide once again. 'This zombie really gave her a lot of surprises today! First, she shocked me when she first roared and said that this place is her territory. Second, she said that she's hungry! Third, she won't give me her bag, she said that it's hers. Fourth, she can understand me! And last, she's got poison power. That's poison! The greatest nemesis of medicine!'

'Maybe I can keep this one. I really don't want to harvest it's orb just like that, it's not like I can steal it's element,' Lei thought as she looked at the zombie. 'System, can I keep her?'

"System can try to make her docile if you wish, young lady. Young lady's safety is System's priority."

Lei was overjoyed. She can finally keep a pet! Back at Home Planet, she's not allowed to have a pet. She's not an ordinary Planetarian so she's not like others.

She carries in her the blood of the Royals, that means that she's a royalty. On addition to that, she's the first ever baby girl born in the few generations of royalties, that's why she's treated as a jewel in the palace.

In their planet, they have this family control. Every family must only have two babies born, and the next ones born will be killed, brutally, in order to avoid overpopulation. Even the royalties are not excused from this law. This resulted in abundant resources for all.

Lei turned out to be the first born in the family; which turned out to be the only child in the palace, hence, she's a crowned princess. She was taught all the necessary information she needed to become the most graceful queen of the whole planet. She was protected, loved and looked upon by all the citizens of their planet.

One time, she got a cat as a present on her fourth birthday. But unfortunately, the cat that should be a domesticated animal, turned ravage, and bit her. This turned to be a red alert for the palace. The crowned princess of the kingdom was attacked, and the king announced to surround the person who gifted her that ravage cat.

The Duke that gifted her the cat was hanged, his family massacred, and all that was connected to the Duke was blacklisted from the kingdom, exiling them to a nearby dead planet to die due to the cold atmosphere.

Never again did she have the chance to have a pet. System was engraved to her when she was five.

"Do you want to follow me?" Lei asked. The female zombie tilted her head to the right, her hat almost falling because of her almost 90° tilt.

"Roar!" 'Me Follow!' Hearing the zombie's answer, Lei was overjoyed. Finally! She has a pet!

Well, only Lei can have a zombie as a pet. In this apocalyptic era, humans are trying hard to survive. Their days and nights revolves around finding shelter, gathering food and surviving from the chase of the zombies.

But there is one thing that System hasn't told her yet; this zombie has a similar aura with her main mission subject here on Earth.

Obviously, Lei's pod didn't crash on this planet by accident. And her crash didn't burn the forest on the mountain to transfer her soul to Jazz's body by accident either. It was all along the will of the Higher God that the people on Home Planet worship, God Lus.

Home Planet is not a planet in the same dimension as of Earth, it belongs to a higher dimension. But despite living in a higher dimension as any other beings in the universe, creatures of this planet has only one goal in mind: to ascend to God's Realm.

Home Planet is also called the Forsaken Planet, and the beings living there can also be called 'Lesser Gods'. The cause to this was because of Home Planetarians' ancestors, disobeying the 'Direct Gods'. In short, they are exiles.

Direct Gods are the direct descendants of the 'Creator', the one who created the whole universe, lower dimension or higher, every single planet, the giver of life. Disobeying the will of the Direct Gods are also equal to disobeying the Creator, and this is a grave sin to those Lesser Gods.

The residents of God's Realm are called 'Higher Gods', which are divided into 'Outer Gods', 'Inner Gods', 'Core Gods', and 'Direct Gods'.

This ranking is also related to lineage of the Gods, the purer the blood, the higher the rank. Planetarians cannot distinguish God Lus' rank among the Gods, but they believe that this god can bring them to salvation. The generational mission and bestowal of Realm Coins for ascension is the proof of this.

Each crowned royalty in Home Planet has to succeed in a mission given by God Lus in order to earn 100 Realm Coins, which can be exchanged for ascension. Each Realm Coin can help a Planetarian ascend to the higher realm. These coins are of the greatest value within Home Planet.

These coins can only be gathered by the crowned royalties, the condition given by God Lus. And this is the main reason why Lei was treated as a very special person. She can bring 100 Planetarians to ascension.

The past crowned royalties of their planet also did the same, but only ascending when the end of their lifespan comes near.

'If we got enough energy, can you also fix her voice?' Lei asked System. This is her pet now. She has to take care of this pet.

"If young lady wishes so, it is possible."

System's upgrade was already finished. Lei is now a Level 2 Space Possessor and an upgraded System, enough to help this zombie gain her voice back.

"You'll be called Kit from now on! Kit," Lei said while smiling, her sharp teeth revealing. The zombie, seemingly understanding her, roared happily.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!" 'Kit! Kit! Kit!' Kit roared, her sunglasses almost falling off.

"Now let's fix that awful voice of yours," Lei said while grinning, making her dead face look more horrifying.
