American Apocalypse: I Can Understand Monster Speech

He wakes up to find he has transmigrated into an American-style apocalypse in the 1990s.

Ash drifts through the air, rotting zombies wander the streets, and unspeakable tentacled monsters lurk in the shadows.

As a transmigrator who has just “escaped” from a psychiatric hospital, Louis is bound to a [Good Neighbor System]. As long as he gets along with his “neighbors,” he’ll earn rewards.

And so things get more and more absurd.

Survivor: “Help! That’s a Tyrant-class zombie!”

Louis: “Hey, Uncle Tom, your dentures fell out.” (He casually puts the Tyrant’s jaw back in place and gains Strength +10.)

Survivor: “Oh my God! That’s a Mind Flayer from the Upside Down!”

Louis: “You may look like a flower, but that doesn’t mean you can do your business wherever you please.” (He slaps the Mind Flayer back into the Upside Down and gains Mental Resistance +99.)

Pet shop owner: “Th-this bulldog seems a little off…”

Louis: “What’s its name? Oh, Wangcai. It’s really well-behaved, though it does eat some strange things now and then.”

(The young hellhound excitedly breathes fire.)

While everyone else is struggling to survive, Louis has already built the coziest (and most terrifying) community in this despairing world.

What? You say the monsters are too scary? Not at all. In our community, even monsters have to sort their trash.
