I just killed the zombie and what i saw on the ground jsut make me so happy.. Next to the zombie’s body, on the floor were 2 gold coins and a book, I immediately jumped on the loot, the coins disappeared as soon as I took them, and I picked up the book... The cover was brown with yellow lines. So I used "Appraisal" on the book.

" Gigawatt fortify " skill book.

Lightning type spell. Surrond in lightning a part of your body to improve offense and defense. More information will be available if you learn this skill.

Open the book to learn this skill.

" Wow, it's really a skill book, what a luck. " Without hesitation I opened the book, the pages were filled with alien symbols, a red light surrounded me 5 seconds later...

Congratulation, you just learned a new skill. " Gigawatt fortify " will now be available for use, if you want more information on this spell, use " Appraisal ".

I also don't hesitate and use " Appraisal ".

" Gigawatt fortify "

Lv1 Gigawatt fortify : mana consumption = 1/sec

Surrond a part of your body in lightning improving both defense and offense potential. If you use it on your fist, your punch will have more power and a small chance to stun the target, apply also for kick. For defense add the cover area a bit more toughness increasing by a small amount the user defense.

The damage inflicted depends on the lvl of skill and intelligence. Size depends on skill lvl and control. Defense potential depend on skill lvl and constitution. The chance of stunning depends on control.

This new spell look really cool.. unfortunatly i can't try it right now because i don't have enough mana and we don't have enough time, we need to find food and a shelter, the outside world is so dangerous..

After I kill him, the others join me.

" Where do we go now, I’m really starting to get hungry and thirsty, " said Brendon.

" Guys look at this, there is fruits in this tree. " Arianna said with a big smile on her face.

We turned around and saw a big tree filled with apples, it was not the best meal but until we found something better, an apple is like a royal meal for us. We moved to pick up the apples, the branches were high so I carried Arianna on my shoulders as she grabbed the apples. The harvest was good because we picked about 15 apples. We ate one right away and the rest ended up in our pockets.

After eating the apple my body suddenly became a little lighter, a little anxious, I used "Appraisal" hoping not to have a bad surprise...

Speed Apple

Upon eating this apple, your dexterity will improve by 2 for 30 minutes.

" Oh wow +2 in agility, it's double than my current stats, will defenitly keep one just in case."

We then walked for 4 hours in search of a supermarket, but nothing to do no matter which building we looked, there was nothing left of the empty buildings... Sometimes we met hordes of zombies but we came back on our steps directly, there was no fight with the zombies... I really wanted to try this new spell, and then according to the exp obtained, 1 zombie and I would pass level 2 thus getting more mana to launch " Icicle " more often. We also found another tree with "Speed apple", our apple count was about 30, enough to last about 2 days. The problem now was finding water and shelter to spend the night. We arrived at 8.00 PM, it’s been about 5 hours since we walk it must be about 1.00 AM, we have a little time left before we have to find a shelter, so finding water was the main objective. But how can we find water when we are not in the mountains and all the lakes are polluted by waste or the water is not drinkable? You can squeeze the apples to get a semblance of apple juice but it would consume too many apples just for a few sips...

Shortly afterwards as we were walking, a zombie came out of the side of the road, completely surprised by this sudden appearance, the zombie jumped on Arianna. Without even thinking about my actions, I activated "Gigawatt fortify" on my fists and threw a brutal punch into the zombie’s head, he retreated 1 meter. Arianna was so shocked that she was frozen in place with her eyes wide open because in less than 5 seconds she could have lost her life but Hector protected her so she was happy.

" My punch was really formidable right now, spell are indeed scary hope i found more really soon so i can keep protecting them. "

The zombie had on the cheek, the mark of my punch, the punch was so strong that it left a mark, without even allowing the zombie to retaliate, I attacked a second time at the head but this time with more ferocity, The zombie was dead after two punches. My mana go down 10 points but I was able to test my spell.

You have killed a lv1 zombie. +10 exp points.

A white light appear all around me..

You reach level 2, you gain 5 mana max, 1 intelligence, 1 wisdom. You also gain 1 stat point and 1 skill point

I put my stat point into intelligence and my skill point into " Gigawatt fortify ".

I will check my status screen after, first i will look at the loot. Near the dead zombie, 2 gold coins and a grey box appear. I wasn't excited as much as when i get the skill book because first time the box give me nothing so i was expecting to get nothing a second time but then..

TRASH box as been opened.. You found 5, 1L bottles of water, prize list as been updated, pleased open more box to complete the list.

" Wait a minute.. we can find water bottle in boxes ? " finding boxes may be the way to get food and water. After so much bad luck, this world finnaly show some mercy to us, i was really happy seing thoose bottle without wasting any time i went back the other and gave 1 bottle to each of them.

" Did you just find thoose bottle of water inside this boxes ? " Cassandra said astonished.

" Well it might be weird but, maybe everything we created in this world as been transfered into this boxes, we need to find more to confirm this theory, but for now we have at least food and water for 2 days. Now let's go and find a shelter for the night. "

After that i opened my status screen..

My mana regeneration went up by 2, such a good upgrade i think i might improving inteligence until i reach a good amount of regeneration. Also i saw that the gold coins i pick up was store in the system. My rank also went down by 1 that mean somebody already reach level 3 what a monster..

After i upgraded " Gigawatt fortify " the mana drain changed to 2/sec but i guessed the power also rise up wich is a good news.

After that we walked and waled without stoping for at least 2 hours before we stoped in front of a huge house, this house was at the end of a street, surrounded by a white wall, but since its the apocalypse the wall is ruined but still was another layer of defense. The house was black with wood supporting the house, We where lucky to find that this place wasn't as much destroyed as the other house or building, it as also completly intact door wich lack on other house. This was like a jackpot out of this shit world, without needed to talk everyone knew this will be our temporary shelter before finding somewhere calm to stay far away from the danger.

Inside the house where quite birght since the roof was half destroyed, was a good thing because they don't have a possibility to make any light for now. Before really setle down i chose to check every room just in case we find some zombie or even human, but i found nothing only ruined rooms.. Since we couldn't sleep on the ground i asked Arianna and Paco to help me go get some grass so we can use it as a mattress. After like 1 hours of gathering grass we stopped and took out one apple each and started eating, we managed to make 3 like mattress, after the little pause, we continue gathering grass and finished the job in 40 minutes.

During that time Cassandra and Priame where collecting branch so we can make a fire and warm ourself because we where in the middle of autum and wind outside is a bit cold, night wind is even more cold.

Time flew by a lot and stars begin to appear in the sky, we light up a fire inside the house but we make it where the floor was made of stone so no need to worry about putting the whole house on fire. We looked at the sky, the moon was red like blood and stars where really bright.

Soon we heared a huge scream..

" Please someone help me !! "....
