Chapter 5

As David was sleeping, on the other side, tony and Stephany were looking at peter with a serious look.

"When the special event occurred or what you know as the apocalypse happened, a magical substance fused with the air and the earth. "

"However elderly or frail individuals who can't withstand this will turn into zombies. "

"However if an ordinary person were to fuse with this, there is an extremely small chance that a beneficial physical evolution will occur in their body. "

"We call this physical evolution, awakening. "

Peter was initially curious about the origin of zombies, but compared, he was more curious about awakening.

Facing peters curious gaze, Stephany smiled and said.

"We don't have much research on awakened ones. In fact, Mr peter you are the third person that I know has awakened, the first two are a military soldier and a shelter resident. "

"They are currently in the shelter in the city center, but I have never seen them. "

Hearing Stephany say that she had not done much research, peter is disappointed.

"How are those awakeners compared to me. "

In terms of strength, peter is confident that his not inferior to anyone.

Tony hesitated for a moment before replying.

"You should be stronger than the resident and about the same for the soldier. I don't know know who is stronger since the two of you are so formidable. "

Stephany added.

"According to the research at the shelter, it seems there is evolutory path for awakeners, but the research sample is too small and I'm not sure how the awakened one will grow. '

Hearing that the shelter was doing research in this kind of area, peter eyes lit up.

"Can I go to this shelter? " Asked peter.

"Yes, survivors and awakeners can enter. But we can't go with all the zombies.

Tony told peter as he looked at him.

"Don't worry, you have me. "

Peter said, as he points to himself with full confidence in himself.

"It's still far, 15 kilometers away. "

Even with peter assuring them, tony had to tell him.

With a car, these distance was nothing, but without a car and with all the zombies, it very difficult.

"I'm here, zombies are nothing. "

However, peter was still confident in himself.

"Alright, shall we set off now? "

"It's very late, we can go tomorrow. "

Next day.

David had woken up and had already started training. After training, he ate rice and meat and then freshened up.

After all this, he goes to the security room and checks the cameras outside for any zombies.

When he is done with this, he sits down on the bed tries to look for the mysterious page that appeared in his eyes.

He had forgot about the page with all that was going on yesterday and decided to explore it.

Just as he was about to try different methods to make it appear, it just suddenly showed.

Host

Level: 1

Name: David

Age: 24 years old

Strength: 4.9

Physique: 4.8

Agility: 5.1

There were no different word on the page, it just showed the same thing as before.

It's time for me understand you.

Agility should mean like my flexibility and my speed.Strength, should just mean my strength and finally physique should be my body.

Host is me since the name says David, there is my age. This is pretty easy but I'm not very sure of the level.

This should be like games where you level up and with levels you get stronger. But what should I do to level up.

Should I kill zombies.

Immediately this idea came into his mind, he slaps himself.

"You saw what those zombies did and you still want to go and kill them. If it wasn't for the need of a safer place, do you think I would leave the house? "

David started talking and even shouting at himself as he and himself had a conversation.

"Okay, let's do this. We will try various method and If none of them work, then will we think of zombies. "

Reaching an arrangement with himself, David decides to experiment and try to find a way of leveling up without going to kill zombies.

An Hour later.

David was exhausted on the bed, hey had tried everything but nothing worked.

They tried exercising, fighting, eating, crafting. they tried one of the crulest torture, reading a book, but still it didn't work.

Just as David was feeling, all Is lost.

[Ding... Main quest issued]

[Main quest: The answer]

[Reward: level up x 2]

[Kill 10 zombies]

[Punishment: 100 cuts]

[Time: 12hours]

David was excited when he saw this, well up until he saw the kill zombies. As if the world hated him, he saw the punishment and time.

David is trying to digest what he saw. He was given a mission to kill ten zombies and he only had twelve hours to complete or he would be cut a 100 times.

So, I just have to kill some zombies and will be able to level up. David tries to reduce his fear by making the situation seem simple.

"Time to go and kill zombies, scary zombies."

David went to the second floor and arrives at the table with weapons.

Holding a chainmail and helmet, he puts it on, carrying the machete, he holds it in his right hand and the shield in his left hand.

With everything done, he goes downstairs and goes out the door.

Running from the house, he silently moves in search of zombies.

Some seconds later, he spots an old zombie around a house, calming his fear he holds the machete and starts getting closer.

After he got a bit closer, he decides to throw the machete at the zombie.

Throwing the machete, he runs to it and just slams his shield into its head, making sure it was dead, he continued.

He uses this method and kills as much as three zombies, the method was not suited for

some zombies in certain places.

Just as David spotted a zombie, a zombie that was in a nearby house attacks him.

Turning his face, he notices the zombie, as he was about to run, he stopped.

"I'm I just going to breakdown, cry, run and be afraid of zombies. Will I always run, why can't the zombies be the one to run! "

Just as David was lost in his own fantasy, the zombie had already reached him and hit him.

Feeling the intense pain, David hurriedly uses his iron shield and blocks in front of him.

David is shocked since he thought that the zombies wouldn't be that strong, but he wrong because he felt like he got hit by a buffed guy.

Retreating, he takes a look at the zombie in front of him. A old zombie with blood all over his body.

"It's time to die! "

As David said this, his eyes suddenly turn red. Holding the machete, he instantly attacks the zombie.

With speed beyond an athlete and strength above body builders. David instantly splits the zombies body in two and the machete enters the ground.

With blood on him and his machete, davids eyes turn even redder he turns to face the first zombie.

Rushing at the zombie, david cuts it in half and keeps killing zombies, after zombies until he locks his eyes on a big zombie.
