The Nameless Survivor (Valkyrie) Read Free

time-periods. Even he himself loses track of the days during extended periods of solitude. In fact the only reference of time itself is the use of simple calendar moon phases. Nicknames from multiple moon calendars that stretched across the world. A few were even created by himself. To give perspective to those outside of the GFS, the first month of his year is the Outbreak Moon which aligns with the old calendar from about mid-March to mid-April, the period that this pandemic had spread worldwide. This man had restarted the clock even after the fires of hell had consumed it. This, amongst other clues, prove that he was well-educated - a man of worldly knowledge. And it is because of him that the GFS came to adopt his calendar, a testament to our rebirth and to his fortitude.
                  Some of his passages were so vague and illegible that I've had to use my own ingenuity to fill in the gaps and pull his story together. Which of course, I did with as much respect and taste for his words as I possibly could. I do not feel that my additions or revisions are misleading in any way, and I believe that this man would be in no way offended by them. Like with most of written history, the historian’s prerogative filled in the holes based on the evidence that was presented.
                  This survivor tends to use a variety of nicknames to depict the dead, which are but a few, compared to those coined across the world. Some funny, however most are frightening. Some were derived from pop-culture, such as Zombies and The Walking Dead. However more commonly they are referred to as; The Hungry, The Infected, Slugs, Necrotic's and simply The Dead. All recognizable to even the most naïve, and all with a dreadful purpose.
                  His accounts of those horrific years are sporadically detailed, from the initial outbreak, to his life after the fall of society. His encounters with the damned, which were just as horrible as those with some of the living. Some passages are simple biographies of the dead themselves, depicting a variety of physical and personality traits. Other entries are just random thoughts and ideas, even drunken emotions spilled out on paper.
                  This book is for humanity to absorb and to learn, to see what it takes to overcome any obstacle and simply ensure our very own survival. It doesn't take a superhero, or even an army to prevail. If this man could do it on his own, then just think of all the things we can accomplish together. Look around at everything we have already accomplished.
                  I hope these pages will forever be a reminder of the atrocities that have occurred over that decade of misery. A reminder of the easily corrupted human spirit, as well as the perseverance of mankind and it's never yielding will to survive. Learn what you can from this man, so that future generations can avoid another world of the dead. This book shall become our Bible, a Revised Testament to the continuation of mankind. We shall never again falter, never secede. Life is the universes gift to us which we shall cherish until the sun's light is once and for all extinguished.
                  This is the inspirational story, of a Nameless Survivor.

                  There was almost a complete silence amongst the region, definitely too quiet for this sylvan mountain. The only sounds were that of thunderous cracks and prolonged creaks caused by the sway of ancient timber. The Bitter-cold winds which rip through these valleys and mountain-passes burden almost everything within their path. Except for the cursed, they are burdened only by rage and hunger.
                  It being the dead of winter is the only reason I dared to venture so far from the safety of my
