Chapter 17
My mind went numb at seeing such a scenario, from the item description this might as well be another possible timeline where everything went wrong, so my universe might also become like this.
I shake my head, Gamer's Mind kicking in and calming me down, for now, my main objective is to grind zombies, not thinking of the multiverse.
I crouch on the ground and look around the house searching for ant nearby group of zombies that I can kill without any risk.
But l, to my displeasure, the group with the fewest zombies still had at least five, so instead of going head I will give first reduce their number from the distance and then fight against the reaming ones.
I jump off the roof and head toward the group.
I wait for them to be far enough from each other and I summon 2 mana bullets, aiming for the heads of two of the five zombies.
+200 XP
+300 XP
With two on the ground, I activate sprint for just a second, making me able to cover the distance between me and the nearest zombie in the blink of an eye.
Before it could react I pierce its head with Skullcrusher blades.
One of the remaining two zombies tries to bite my extended arm, but before he could, I kick him in the l, causing it to take a strange shape, the rotten bones breaking under my enchanted strength.
I remove the blade from the head of the zombie, just in to evade the last zombie lounging towards me.
Due to its low agility, it falls to the ground allowing me to completely crush his head with my foot.
Due to the sound of bones breaking andò the screams of zombies, a bit larger group began approaching me.
'I need to create a skill that makes me able to kill a large group with one move.'
While half of my brain began thinking of a new possible skill, I dashed toward the group.
I cast strangle on one of the two nearest zombies, and kick the other one in the head.
The body of the other zombie gets crushed under the ropes binding him, lessening the number of enemies.
'Two down, five more to go.'
I create two mana bullets and aim for their heads, this time though, the zombies that got hit didn't die, and instead stayed alive with half of their faces blown.
Seeing the zombies resisting my hit made me kind of worried, so I decided to take five steps back and try my new magic.
Suddenly under the feet of the zombies, in a 5x5 meters area, blue transparent spears popped out of the ground, piercing the bodies of the zombies, and killing all 5 of them.

Seeing that all the zombies were dead, and feeling my mana reaching very low levels, I head towards the nearest roof and sat on the top of it.
---------------------------------------------
Items have been added to the inventory, it is suggested to look at them.
---------------------------------------------
Curious about what they could have dropped I open my inventory and look at the new items inside my inventory.
Inside it, the image of a book and of a short sword could be seen.
I first clicked on the book and this notification formed in front of me.

Learn?
YES/NO
---------------------------------------------
without even thinking twice I click yes, but I am unable to try it out since my current mana is too low, so I instead sit down in a meditating position and I start regenerating my mana while training it inside my body.
After 2 hours I was able to regen enough mana to make me able to fight another two battles, trough this meditating session meditation got to level 16, and mana manipulation to level 26.
I get up from the ground, and after some calculations, I realized I still have a bit less than three hours.
I look for the nearest group and decide that I will continue like this, fight a group, meditate, and then fight again, until the 5 hours pass.
'Kinda slow, but since the outside world is blocked in time, and I can stay here for 5 hours, once every day, my growth will have an exponential growth.'
With a smile on my face, I activate sprint and strengthening, I take out the short sword, since the skullcrusher, as cool as it might be, are kind of hard to use, and I dash towards the nearest group, while 2 mana bullets behind me.
.

'Shiiiiiiiiit, I am tired, well not actually tired, I am just bored of the process.'
I thought going through the portal leading to my original universe.
' Even though it was boring, the growth I had can't be compared to how much I can gain by not fighting.'
I then open my status to look at my progress.
