The glowing light around me was like a level up signal, I think every time I level up, that light will appear, just like in a video game. I am both excited and a little upset following these incredible changes, we are in a fucking video game but in real life. I know you all dream this happens, that you can fight monsters, increase your stats to become the strongest, the smartest, or even the fastest, but I can assure you that’s not really how I feel, life can be lost at any time without means to return from the dead, well maybe it's possible in this world.
Once the light stopped a wooden stick about 50 centimeters appeared in my hand.
" Hector, what happened ? We saw a white light around you that shone as bright as a star in the sky, we worried.. Did you get this famous system ? Tell us a little about it. " Cassandra told me a little worried.
" Okay so let me quickly explain what the system told me. "
I explained everything that the system taught me, with their numerous questions it took me at least 30 minutes.. while the zombies are still in the street and that at any moment they can rush to us, imagine more than 100 zombies running towards you, It’s enough to piss on..
During the 30 minutes, I felt my wound close and hurt less, so I wanted to check the condition of my wound by removing the bandage, to my surprise, the bleeding stopped and the 2 cm scratches became nothing more than a half-centimer scratch of depth.. How is it possible that even the most advanced medicine in the world does not know how to do this or at least does not know how to do this, is it related to this system ?
Everyone was shocked to see my wound disappear little by little..
" Status screen " I said in my head.

My life and my stamina increased during these 30 minutes, the regeneration of my life may be the cause of the healing of my wounds. What a relief even when one is injured it is enough that the regeneration takes effect and the wounds will disappear, really incredible this system really defies the physical and mental laws.
" Hector ! Your wounds have almost closed, is this the work of the system ? " asked Paco.
" I think yes, my life will regenerate as time goes by, within about an hour my life will be completely restored and I think my wound will just be a scar. "
It’s just like in a game, it’s amazing..
After that I decided to learn more about this new spell " Icicle ", so I asked the system to give me the information about this spell.
" Icicle " is a MAGE class restricted spell.
Lv1 Icicle : mana consumption = 10
Created a small cube of ice cube of 5 cm, the speed is 20 km/h and launches only in a straight line, the ice cube has a very low chance of freezing the target on impact, the size of the freezing zone depends on the size of the ice cube.
The damage inflicted depends on the lvl of skill and intelligence. Size depends on skill lvl and control, Speed depends on skill lvl and dexterity. The chance of freezing depends on control.
" So much information.. According to my stats I can only throw that spell twice every four hours.. "
I didn’t have time to finish my reflection that I heard a big.
" RRRRR "
In a split second, Priame became all red and embarrassed...
" It’s not what you think.. I’m not hungry.. " she said.
We all laughed.
" We have to find food, I think we’re all getting hungry, " said Brendon.
" But look at the road, there are 100 zombies on the right and 2 zombies on the left.. Even Hector struggled with just one zombie, we never fought.. We’ll be stuck here for as long as they spend. " Priame in an anguished tone.
" If it happens the zombies will get closer to us and then we will be stuck without being able to escape death, moreover Hector got the system, he also got a spell and a wand. He must be able to kill 1 zombie easily and we’ll kill the other one together even if we don’t get the system at least we can get out of this place and find food. " Brendon in a confident tone.
Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.
" I can use my spell twice, I don’t know if I could kill a zombie, but I must be able to damage it. "
" All right, we’ll let you deal with the zombie first and we’ll help you kill the rest. "
I’m under so much pressure.. I was hoping the system spells would do the job..
Before I left to kill the zombies, I decided to use " Appraisal " on my wand and here is the result.
TRASH wand
Lowest grade of MAGE class weapon for trash ant like you.
STATS :
None.
Durability : 30 / 30
Wow ! this item is really too bad.. besides it just looks like a stick that I could have had when breaking a branch.. I admit to being a little depressed, but from the beginning this life is shit why it would change.
I then used " Appraisal " on a zombie..
lv1 Zombie
Lowest monster in this world if you die to a zombie then you don't diserve to be part of this world.
STATS :
Life : 15 / 15
??? : ???
??? : ???
Force : 2
??? : ???
.....
Increase Appraisal for more informations.
" Force 2 ? it's more than i have.. Dang even a zombie is stronger than i am.. I really need to grow stronger so i can protect my friends and Arianna. "
After getting this information I got closer to the first zombie, he was about 30 meters away from me, it was a bit far, I don’t know if my spell can touch him from here, So I got close to about 20 meters away and the zombie turned towards me and started running towards me.
So the zombies are tracking us at about 20 meters, which is good information.
The zombie was getting dangerously close, his eyes were also turning bright red, however he moved a little more naturally but his arms were swinging from all sides as well. It was only about 10 meters away when I raised my wand to the zombie, I said in my head, " Icicle " an ice cube formed at the end of my wand, I tried to aim at the zombie’s head because it was his weak spot.
The projectile left at 20 km/h towards the zombie, leaving a beautiful little ice trail behind him. The ice cube hit the zombie on his knee and pierced it, the zombie fell to the ground, I took the opportunity to use " appraisal " to know the damage inflicted by my spell.
The Zombie lost five life points, so I concluded the damage was five.
" Maybe if I had touched the head, the damage would have been more severe or even killed him all at once. " I was excited
~~~~~( Arianna and the other )~~~~~
" Dam, so this is what a spell looks like.. hope i don't get hit by that projectile.. because it look really powerfull " Arianna said with fear in her tone, but was soulagé car Hector avait obtenu un sort qui le rendait fort et puis elle finit par rougir.
" yes, we really need to get acces to this system, so we can help him and grow stronger so we can survive in this apocalyptic world. " Paco said.
" But thoose zombie are so scary i could never kill one alone.. " Priame said.
" Maybe later we will have better weapon than this shitty wooden dagger, so killing them will be easier for us. "
~~~~~( Back to Hector )~~~~~
The zombie was on the ground, I didn’t waste any time and I rushed to him, I chained two big kicks in his head, And my shoes had turned red.. after I killed my first zombie, I felt less disgust when I smashed that one’s head.
The zombie wasn’t moving, I think he’s dead.
You have killed a lv1 zombie. +10 exp points.
A greyish light suddenly appeared next to the zombie, when the light went out, a small gray box with no details just a box appeared followed by 3 gold-colored pieces. I picked up the coins and all of a sudden they disappeared.. It’s a joke of the system I guess.. Anyway, let’s see what this ugly little box is. I used " Appraisal " on it before I opened it.
TRASH box
Lowest rarity grade box, drop sometimes by monster, rewards are random.
Prize list is not available, please open more box to complete the list.
" Wow a box, what can i get from that, hope it's a good weapon i really need one. "
I was excited to open it so I didn’t wait any longer and I opened it..
TRASH box as been opened.. You receive nothing, prize list as been updated, pleased open more box to complete the list.
" is this again another shitty joke from you system ?? "
I’m really too unlucky.. no problem the goal is to kill the zombies so we can leave this place and go get food.
When the others saw that I had killed the zombie, they approached me.
" Good job Hector, your spell is really powerfull what a relief. Alright let's go kill the second one so we can leave " Arianna said.
" don’t worry i can kill him by myself, go back and hide. "
" You’re strong enough, so I think we’ll let you do it. " says Cassandra
They went into hiding and I turn to the last zombie that kept us from leaving. After killing two zombies, a certain assurance appeared in me.
The zombie was 15 meters away from me this time, I wanted to know the range of my spell, the first time I aimed at the head and the projectile landed in his knee, so I aimed higher than his head. The ice cube formed in front of my wand and left a trail of ice behind him, this time the projectile touched the forearm, with the impact a piece of the forearm fell to the ground leaving it more than with an arm. The zombie is still standing but the risk of injury is greatly reduced with one less arm, having no more mana to cast another spell I rushed to the zombie at full speed, I sent a big kick in the torso of the zombie, with speed the zombie found himself on the ground 2 meters further. Same tactic as for the zombie precedes 2 facial crashes and the zombie was dead.
You have killed a lv1 zombie. +10 exp points.
This time the zombie dropped.....
