Walking toward the hallway, Then suddenly I was greeted by a light and cheers from many NPC who is apparently their job is to pretend as if they are interested in the battle and try to interact with it, Or that’s what I thought it is.
Oh wait, why am I wearing a mask if I tried to cover my identity anyway? I already told the two guys my real name. I mean, They tell their full name as well. Maybe I was just too paranoid anyway,
Looking at the opponent that I supposed to beat, Their name is now just a [ ??? ] but the level is quite higher than mine. Fucking 64. Can I get a raise here? I am a low-level rank battling a high-level rank, This is bullying. But then again, That’s what I do to the zombies. Karma is a bitch, But wait, The Demon contract!!
“Ready? GO!” Then suddenly the guy went still and keep looking at me with his beady eyes. Why beady? He is an insect. What kind? I am not sure either, Not an expert on that. But I just know he is an insect as he is looking like one anyway.
I then call my Grimoire from my ring, he then raises one of his eyebrows. “Can you even use that? Or you will use it as an offering for me? HAHAHA!” The insect then said with arrogance, I then scowl.

Bifrons -Owned
After looking at the Demon list, I then, of course, choose Bifrons. As that one that only available for the free one anyway, “ Summon: Bifrons “ At that, Then a sigil burn in the air and a Handsome man come up, His sleek silver hair and red piercing eyes were the ones I notice first, Then I take a look much more depth I can see his pointy ears and fangs as he smirks and a tint of blue on his pale paper skin color. He totally likes what the descriptions said, a demon that uses a human disguise!
“ Master, How can I serve you? “ His dark and seductive voice then filled the stadium that is now deathly quiet. “Kill,” I softly said. With my monotone voice, of course, The mask apparently changed my voice into monotone no matter what.
At that, suddenly he bows down at me and smiles. As he smiles, The head of the insect slashed. After that a glowing ball seems to be floating toward his way, He then swallows the ball, “ Delicious, Thank you, Master, “ He then said.
After he said that, I then notice what it means! That glowing ball was a soul. The things that I need to feed and give him when I summons him, Wonder if I didn’t let him get it. Is he going to eat mine instead?
Scary.
Oh, And apparently with this Grimoire, I ignore that ‘Only 1 per day summoning rule,’ thing.
Though my Mana is decreasing like crazy.
. . .
After a while, I then notice that I need to stop as the Opponent I beat, excuse me. I mean Bifrons beat, as the guy/it is level 97. “I quit,” I said, then the judge send me a weird smile. It has no malice nor kindness either, It’s like. He’s saying something with some deep meaning behind it. But I didn’t quite get it yet.
Oh well.
“ Return, Bifrons, “ I said, Then he bows at me and the sigil once more appears as a ripple of red dust flying once more. But the difference from the first one is that he actually disappears instead of appearing. At that suddenly a count down comes up. After that I suddenly back into the real world, still sitting in the car.
Looking around, it seems no one noticed I am gone or was the time stopped when I go into that dimension? Hm, but if it is.. Then where is the logic goes? Huh, I am confused right now.
. . .
“Who?” I dumbly ask as I scrunch up my face. I said as Arell, One of the Heroes of this camp saying something. “What?” I once again reply As I try to think what he means by ‘Borrowing’.
“Speak English, and just beat the bush already!” I scowl as I still don’t get what he wants by praising me and borrowing something.

“Eh, You know, Lily is a Healer, right? And we need her, So why not giving her to our camp? As you already got 4 Heroes on your base anyway,” I then look at Arell stupid face, As if he just snort cocaine and now his brain went into the ditch.
“Are you-” As I tried to continue my cursing, Lily then close my mouth and stopping me from it. I then glared at her, she then cowered from me but get closer,
“Please don’t make them an enemy Allie, they’re strong..” She whispers with a fearful look, I then deadpan her, “Lily, do you choose my wrath or theirs?” I said clearly to make sure that dumb Arell listen.
“You!” Lily then said in a beat, Then show the Arell and an apologies face. “I’m sorry Arell, I am sure your camp needs a Healer, But ours is in need as well..” Lily said, I then nod at her satisfied.
Arell then shows an ugly look, Then I use [ Shadow Ball ] Skill to manipulate the darkness as a gust of wind at Arell way and send him a smile. He then startled, “YOU! What is your power!!” He then asked, looking at me fearfully.
“Ah, Allie is a Blacksmith, but now she changed profession as an Alchemist,” Lily answer him with a smile, I then nod at her in approval. As the no one in the camp know exactly what my power is anyway.
He then looks at me wryly.
. . .
At the end, the field trip went without any casualty. But what I notice is that Spring camp is now doing agriculture and having plants everywhere, I’m thinking now they are trying to do a field filled with food resources.
That make me think about my camp, as we keep eating canned food and unhealthy food as chocolate, I think most of us now barely eating vegetable. I’m not sure what inside the vegetable that can make you healthy as I keep slack off during the teaching, But I know vegetable can make you healthy and strong.
On the way on our way, my way to clean up the zombies in front of me is by using [ Arrow of the Darkness ] And with that and some bullets from the police, we managed to clean up the zombies and earn myself an experience for leveling up.
The travel went successfully and we were arrived at the base before the sun goes down. “It’s like back in the day, we use the sun to calculate what time it is..” I said to the police next to me as I walk toward the main building. He then chuckle and nod, “Yea, no one using any clock anymore, the phone barely on as we got no electricity..”.
“Talking about back in the day, How about we make a farmer as a job? As I see Spring camp, Maybe they were right about what they are already independent enough to not depend on the military..” Another police come and joining our conversations.
“Well, I was thinking about it.. But where should we get the seeds at? Or another area? We just finishing making constructions and now we going to make it once more, how would the civilians feel about this?” I said, Then I wish I have a power of wood or earth, so I can build a wall easily.. Wait! The store!!
Earth Mould - 2,000 Credits
A power that allow user to mold the earth into any shapes. May cost lots of MP to used it.
I then bought it without any thought, “Nevermind, I can solve this..” I said, and nod to myself. The polices then give me a weird and questioning look.
“Trust me,” I then said with a crafty smile. They then reluctantly nod at me.
. . .
Day has been passed, and with my ‘Earth Mould’ many people believes that my power is actually manipulating Earth. To not making more suspicion I then just agree with them and say no more of that topic.
With the Earth Mould, I manage to build the wall and a better houses. And much other buildings too. We actually build a proper school, so other kids will not sitting on a dirt and the teacher wouldn’t use the ground that are mixed with the dirt to write.
It was that bad, but now that we actually need to think to make paper. The Heroes and I actually have a discussion about it, because we notice that we only have a limited paper resources.
Not only the paper is important for the school, it is important for the other civilian as well. Because mostly they use paper to gain and earn money from it.
So after we manage to complete the housing problem, now we have resources problem. And not only that, Many police were concern about the farm as well. Because building a farm you need the land and the water.
And water is really rare and we can’t really wasting any water right now.
Making me hit my head, Because what if I learn water power? And we can use that as the problem solver. But I debunk the idea, why? Because you need to use multiple times as it is for the whole camp.
So I then confront the Trio, they then said what if we create a big space to hold a water? Or that we can just make a well for it. But making a well is not that easy, As I didn’t know how it was made.
Thankfully, some of the civilians really have brilliant ideas and actually, know how to make wells.
Thinking about this, I then confront the Police and tell them maybe we can also use a civilians as our brain. Or in other word, a civilian council.
They then think it is a really great thinking, we then appoint 5 civilians as the councils. They each have their own base and people.
We got the Farmer, Scientist, Marketing, Population, and the last and not least, the Researcher.
The Farmer base is the one that is in charge with all the future farming that may hold in the camp,
The Scientist base is the one that is in charged to mutilate the zombies to gain the rock and search for anything to create the cure. Even it seems possible, but something always starts somewhere.
The Marketing base is the one that is in charge of the basic price of the stuff that is on sale for the camp, Basically, they monopolize the money of the people. But in a good cause, as their main job is to not make the market go down. And they also the one that is providing with ‘Bank’. And they also the ones in charge of trading stuff for the Government and possibly the other camp if we can.
But the bank has not established yet. As we still waiting for the creations of ‘Money’ for the power gems, or gems to exchange with.
Back to the main point, The Populations base is the one that is in charged for minimizing the populations in our base. Let’s just said that they’re the one that warns us about the overpopulations and if anyone is missing from the scavenging.
And the last, The Researcher base is the one that is in charge of researching much useful stuff that are actually needed for our base. At the moment, they are partnering with the Marketing base on how to create Money.
We want to stick with the old currency, Dollar. But apparently the people want to be special and creating their own money. Which actually creating a purpose right now with the other survivors. As surviving for the only purpose is actually quite. Horrible.
. . .
“What did the government said?” I then ask one of the police, Jack, as I put down my Axe and sitting down in the comfy sofa.
“Well, we haven’t got anything yet, the radio transmission still not getting any answer from them.” he then shrug. I then nod.
“Well, I expected they will be like this.” I then mumble, as it bother me that the Government still hesitate to trade some of the seeds for us to grow.
“How’s the other survivor?” I then asked, Jack then let out a sigh, “Not bad, At least they have something to do now.” he shrug. I then stop our pointless conversations.
I was thinking, what if I was buying the seeds from the Shop. But once again, I debunked it. Why? It just make this people depend on me, and probably will suspicious on why I actually can have and always got solution up my own ass.
“Alright, if they want to be like this. Then we can use some brainstorm on how to make these Government people agree. Call the councils,” I then said as I stand up and bring my Axe.
Walking away from the patrol building, “Oh, and just bring Rose. I believe she can handle the meeting well. If there’s a fight, she can be there to heat it down.” I then said with a smirk.
What a nice pun Allie. Nice job!
