"I have been monitoring their behavior in the past two hours and from what I observed in these zombies, they only have vision and hearing while they can't smell, run fast and don't have any intelligence as of yet, but their sheer numbers can overwhelm me for sure."

Ziv mutters while looking at the zombies around the campus field and the corridors of the club building that was walking around aimlessly in the eerie and silent school.

"The perfect plan here was letting them get distracted by a sound or attention to let me escape from this room and went towards the storage room."

When Ziv was carefully thinking for some idea that could have worked to escape here. He suddenly thinks of an idea that could distract the zombies outside with at least 70% of success.

He immediately searched the room once again while noticing the body of Mr. Feirlin disappears on the corner of the room that replaces a small red crystal shard.

"What is this thing?" Ziv curiously picked it up as he inspects this enchanting red crystal shard that releasing a foul odor.

[Congratulations! You discovered a Low Energy Crystal (Tier 0 Blood Type)]

[A natural energy that comes from a Tier 0 zombies that can be absorbed. It will eventually decay within 2 hours and turn into a Low Energy Crystal (Tier 0 Energy Type).

[You want to absorb it? Y/N]

When a notification just popped up in front of him, he got startled as he stupidly stares at it intently.

"What is this!?"

"You could have peacefully given me your phone, but you gave me this?" Ziv is getting confused by this situation.

"An energy that can be absorbed? Isn't this just some cr*ck coc*ine?"

While it said that he can absorb it right away, he still thinks for a moment before deciding to take the risk of absorbing it.

When he was holding the crystal while absorbing it a strange connection suddenly established as it went through the red crystal all the way to his chest.

The next moment there is sudden waves of warm current flow into his body that filled with unknown feeling.

[You discovered Blood Slots, Energy Slots and Data Index.]

[---]

"Haa.." he becomes speechless as he looked at all the things happening right now.

"Let's see I need to kill 4 more zombies to get an ability and there's also that time!? The hell is this!" Ziv was shocked at how demanding this is.

*Bang* *Roar*

When he heard the banging noises from the door, he immediately keep quiet while cautiously looking at the door with the handlebar ready in his hand to attack any time.

After the zombies hit the door in few minutes without any noises in the room they just stopped and scattered around the corridor again.

He sighed in relief when there is no accident happening this time while he now carefully act or even made any noise to attract any unnecessary attention.

While was about to continue to inspect the stats that he received there is a video feed that shows up in front of him.

*Bzzt!**Bzzt!*

[Is the mic on?] a handsome little boy that was imposingly seated on a huge golden throne asked as he looked at the beautiful young woman beside him.

[Yes, Sir. 'Jester'.] the cold beautiful young woman icily replied to the little boy that asked her.

[Hi there user! This is 'Jester' from customer service I just want to say that you need to pay your loan right now like in this moment now, just give me the pin code and I'll do everything for you.]

After clearing his throat the little boy that called himself 'Jester' said something that he couldn't understand in a playful tone.

[Sir, you need to be serious about this.] the beautiful young woman that was beside him suddenly rebuked him to put him on the right track.

[Icyl don't worry, I can do this!] 'Jester' reassure her as he gestures her with his hand.

[Well, I'm God, you mortals! I'm the one created and made this apocalypse. Why? It's too peaceful down there we need something entertaining. Also, people who might hear these are people that already unlocked their Status. I hope you survive okay! Good luck! This is a voicemail, so don't bother replying. Teehee! (´ゝз・`)ﾉ⌒☆] 'Jester' said in disdain before playfully wink at the end.

[End of transmission]

While Ziv was stunned when watching the video the same goes to those Users all over the world that also acquired their stats using the Blood Crystal.

"That is not the best explanation I could get, but it was something over nothing, right?"

...

Meanwhile, in the next city of the Griffeth City near the shore there is a beautiful young woman User that wears a tight black jumpsuit that paired with her grayish black hair and blue eyes while quietly standing at some small formed hill that emphasize her beauty especially with the moonlight reflecting upon her face.

That small hill is formed with corpses that both came from humans and zombies while creepily stacked on top of each other.

"I'm coming for you."

The young woman mutters quietly as her gaze stayed in the direction of the Griffeth City for a while.

After retracting her gaze from that direction, she releases some invisible sharp strings in her surroundings before gracefully walking in the direction of some village where there is a small tower located in the middle that protected by thick fog.

[You've arrived at X-135 Novice Village. We welcome your stay!]

...

Back in the College of Perpetual, Ziv was already preparing to carry out his plan while picking up the phone that he found inside of Mr. Feirlin jacket.

By making this plan works he searched around the room to find for jacket, tape and a phone. While putting together the sleeves of the jacket by taping it and tightly attached the phone in front without blocking the speaker it was now ready to execute the plan.

"I just need to throw this somewhere far away in this room."

After checking the door and window to look for less concentrated zombies outside while setting the phone alarm for 5 mins before throwing it on the corridor.

He first checked outside the door and the window if there's a few zombies outside, then he set the phone alarm for 5 mins before he opens the door.

*Creaak*

He didn't open the door long after throwing the jacket on the corridor and by the time the zombies realizes it, they miss their chance to catch even a glimpse of him.

*Thud*

After dropping at the spot where he kinda wanted it to be, he just patiently waited before the alarm goes off.

*Weeee-owww*

*Roar!* *Grrrr!* *Roar*

When the sound of siren alarm goes off, he didn't immediately open the instead he let most of the zombies pass by before he opens it while quickly running towards the storage room.

'It will only buy me some time.'

Even though not all of the zombies are attracted by the alarm on the phone as few zombie saw him running towards the storage room.

'It's all in the plan so far.'

He still calmly runs towards the storage room as he already expected this situation while quickly arrived at the metal door that was locked as he opens it and enter inside.

'It's not finished yet, I still need to block the door by these boxes.' Ziv thought as he quickly pushes a large box that completely touch the door while the other one has a slight gap in the door.

"There you go!" he gasped after finishing pushing all the box that was needed for blocking the zombies from coming in.

"The ultimate Blood Crystal grinder 3000!" Ziv declared after looking at this piece of art that can sufficiently block the zombies on the door while it can attack in the slight gap he made.

When Ziv finally pays attention to his surroundings there are a lot of things that he could use in this 20x20 storage room that wad protected by this metal door.

"Wow! They sure invest a lot for this." Ziv exclaimed in amazement as he looked around the room.

There was a javelin in one of the rack, 35 ft rope that was sufficient to descend in a 2 storey building, and a lot more things, but what truly caught his eye in here was the javelin spear.

"I love what I'm seeing now!" Ziv happily carries the javelin spear in the gap of the door where he can strike the heads of zombies from outside.

"Good 'ol Farmville!"

...

While Ziv was doing his farming inside the storage room, there was some people observing him in the roof of the opposite building of storage room.

"Guys! Look at this!" a female student suddenly shouted towards the people behind her that was sitting on the ground.

When the students saw her pointing a young man that was running from clubroom buildings towards the storage room they were confused at first before ridiculing him when he they saw what he did after.

"This guy has no brain at all. What is he doing?"

"Look at this idiot! Trapping himself in that storage room."

These students were insulting Ziv for his reckless behavior, especially when they saw him hitting the door of the storage room before attacking some more zombies.

"That guy was kinda familiar, I'm pretty sure." a young man stared carefully at the Ziv as he ponders for a moment.

"Really, Matt?" a beautiful young girl that was beside that young man coldly looked at him while asking him.

"Yeah." Matt nodded while he was unsure of the identity of this young man that killing zombies in the storage room.

When Ziv finished the zombies near the storage room area, he immediately makes a gap in the door by pulling the large boxes that blocking it while going outside and collecting every Energy Crystal in the ground.

[You acquired 5 Low Energy Crystal (Tier 0 Blood Type)]

While he was ready to enter the room and absorb the Energy Crystal he noticed something it doesn't show in his Interface before.

Level 8 ???

Level 9 ???

[Blood Bath a natural occurring event where a newly zombified zombie will drop Blood Type Energy Crystal for upgrading Blood Slots.

Remaining time: 08:56:32]

[Warning: After this event no Tier 0 Blood Type Energy Crystal will be acquired on any zombies. It will be replaced by Tier 0 Artificial Blood Crystal that can be bought in every Village.]

Ziv was surprised at first before ignoring the warning that popped up when he already have enough Blood Crystal to learn a Tier 0 Ability.

"By absorbing this Blood Crystal I can now learn a Tier 0 ability."

After absorbing the Blood Crystal he immediately felt something different from his body that he couldn't describe.

[Congratulations on Unlocking your Natural Ability: Synthesize (Active)]

[Synthesize is a ability where you can combine two different things to produce something new.]

"What is this!? Combination?"

"Is this even useful? Lets see what this thing do first." Ziv was feeling skeptic about his skill that he receives.
