Skill point.

'Twenty horde slots, a level up and then t this? Skill points?'

Nate watched in amazement. Twenty zombie slot was gone because, with this, he can now have a more normal zombie army in his horde that are not lesser weight.

An instant level-up was not bad, but what Nate didn't understand was the skill points.

'What are they used for?' he wondered.

[Skill point = This is an alternative currency the host can use in purchasing skills from his skill wart. These points are gained often when the host uses any of his skills in a battle]

'Not bad...in fact, this is good. With this, I won't have to touch my experience points anymore, but this also made me wonder if I can still use the experience points for purchase?' the only way to find out was by using it which Nate did.

[Exp = 0]

'Zero!..wait...what happened,' Nate quickly checked his status.

[Name = Nate Way]

[Age = 18]

[Race = undead]

[Class = Wight zombie]

[Level = Elite40]

[Title= Horde builder]

[Exp = 0/183,705,000]

[Horde members = 15/50]

[Strength = 70]

[Agility = 60]

[Endurance = 50]

[Intelligence = 49]

[Energy = 500/500]

[Pledge members = 42,317]

[Attribute point= 4]

'My experience point is really now in zero, did the level-up take all of them?' Nate wondered.

Regardless, he couldn't do anything about it. Since he had no experience points on him right now, he would only have to skip whatever he was doing and focus on his training.

With that, Nate didn't know, that he have been training for the rest of the day, trying to perform some of his skills without the help of the system.

The first skill he managed to learn was the vortex punch, then before the inventory.

The logic was simple though, all he had to do was activate the skill with the system and then try to memorize the feeling of using the skill.

With this feeling in mind, he will then try to activate the skill without the system.

Of course, it wasn't something he would learn instantly, there are moments he will accidentally use the system instead of manually.

Regardless, as more time have is gone by, it was only when Nate received a message from the system did he realize how much time he have spent training.

[42,317,000 exp has been granted]

'Wow...I really spent some time in hearing,' Nate walked into what seemed like a bathroom to freshen up.

Despite being a zombie, they still take care of their hygiene, although another zombie might not be irritated, since Nate and the others often meet up with humans, they did not forget to always keep themselves neat.

Not long, Nate was through with whatever he was doing and was now in a new set of clothes before he head outside.

Coming outside, Nate was surprised to see the activities going on, all the zombies have fully regained their mobility. None of them seems to be bothered by Nate's presence as they continue to clean the base.

'Now I think about it, it will be nice if I add this place into my territory. With this, I will now have two military bases under my control.' Nate thought.

Soon, he spotted Bull, and the latter was not alone.

"You guys have arrived as well," Nate said surprised to see Dike, and Levi, at the moment, twain was nowhere to be seen.

Meanwhile, beside Bull was a slime and tall man with medicated eyeglasses. The man was normally in a military uniform, one that belongs to the base they are now.

"Nate...this is Rex, he used to be my assistant before this all happened," Bull introduced Rex who humbly took Nate's hand.

"I thank you for your generosity, if not for you, we won't be here today, I want to say every big thank you, and that I will do my best to serve you," Rex said bowing down to Nate.

Nate accepted the thanks before he and Bull decided to take a stroll around the base.

The base land mass was big, though not as big as the other military base. One can roughly say that it was about half of the general good base made up of Bulls base.

Regardless, it was something and besides, they can expand the area at any point in time.

Another thing that surprised Nate was the ammunition of the base. Everything was still intact locked in their armoury.

"Aside from the fact this base was hidden out from the public, who would dare to enter a horde of hungry zombies in seek of weapons, am sure he or she would have died even before getting here," Bull joked.

Entering inside the weapon house, was then did Nate spot Twain selecting a few guns out of the ones in the base.

"Men...why can't I find a suitable weapon for myself anymore," twain grind his teeth.

"Maybe, because you are already used to those superweapon crafts by Jim, that's why you are like this," Lyon said relaxing on one of the boxes containing weapons.

"I still can't believe we are amid creatures that can decide to eat us at any moment," Tony who was also there with, V, Ron and Shad whispered.

Normally, the four were okay being beside, Nate and the others but now, they are clearly surrounded by zombies.

"Hah... Last time I check, you don't smell delicious nor will you test delicious like them," Twain said sarcastically to Tony while pointing at, V, Shad and Ron.

"What do you mean by that... Do I really test horribly?" Tony asked licking his skin as if he was trying to test his body.

"Knock it off, being an altered human, you are practically half human, half beast which means you won't be the ideal meal for zombies. Though not all zombies," Lyon explained.

"I can see you guys are having a good time," Nate soon made his presence known to them.

"Ain't you guys afraid to be eaten?" Nate asked V.

"Common, not like that will happen right? They are no longer crazy zombies," V replied.

"Regardless, they are still zombies and will most likely still feed on you when hungry," Nate said smiling.

Seeing the look of horror on V's face, Nate regretted saying what he just said.

"I'm just pulling your legs, they won't necessarily be going for you guys, " Nate tried to clear the air.

"I want to be turned!" Shad suddenly spoke out causing everything to look at him confused.

"I want to become a zombie... I can't still be a human while my other brothers are zombies, it won't be okay with me," Shad explained.

"Shad are you sure about this, they will be no going back," Bull warned.

There was a bit of silence on Shad's end. However, he eventually agreed.

"I have always wanted to be turned since the moment I found out what you guys were, but because of back then, I want so sure how it will turn out if I will be like you guys or become a crazy zombie. But now, with all that has happened, I'm sure I want to be with my family," Shad explained.

"Well... I don't have a problem with that, since this is your choice, I will grant you your wish, but that has to wait for now," Nate replied and Shad nodded his head.

Nate understands what Shad must be feeling. Since he was a human, no matter what, he will have to reduce his interaction with the others because of the zombie virus.

However, if he was to be turned into a zombie, that would never happen.

Later on that day, Shad was turned into a zombie by Bull himself. The outcome was just like expected, he was a low-intelligence zombie, but, that wouldn't be for long.

After subduing the shad virus's consciousness, a general meeting was soon, held where Nate would introduce himself, and then all the base men will get to know him as well.

At the end of the day, Nate pledged the entire member of the base, increasing his pledge members number by 504 members.

[Pledge member = 42,821]

'The base number is not as close to that of general goo, regardless, I will still take any amount.,' Nate thought let's see what this message has to say.

[Your NPC have presented the option of the task before you. It's up to the host to choose from these two task which one he wants]

First option

[Destroy the matrix origin ]

[Reward = Unknown]

Second option

[Put a stop to the zombie Virus spread and creation of zombies]

[Reward = Unknown]

Third option

[Take them all]

[Reward = Unknown]

'This will be a very hard decision for me,' Nate thought.
