The moonlight shines the dark night. Smokes can be seen filling the city of Temerloh. Gas station near the Joy Park is still burning since the afternoon, even at night.
The smell of corpse was disgusting and revolting, the smell of rotten flesh could make anyone puke.
Blood seeped through the open ground, creating a hell like scene, the tar road red with the blood of the victims of the great beast, mangled bodies scattered everywhere, feet and hand can be seen in different places.
However in Joy Park there is still one man holding his dagger, just trying to survive this cold and terrifying night.
But right now he is surrounded by zombies. Thank God most of the monster already left and only the big giant Alien is left in the elementary schools.
The badger has been neutralized. And now only the zombies are left. But that doesn’t mean he is confident in surviving their onslaught.
But at least his chance of survival is higher fighting against the zombies than fighting with the beast he saw in the afternoon; and that was all he needed. Red zone huh? He knows if he changes his class he might get more power and even more agility.
But the system recommended him to get out of red zone first. This means he is in the red zone and trying to change his class in the red zone might get himself killed. But what is a red zone and a safe zone? How should he know where is the red zone and where is the safe zone?
The World Orb! Do you have no tutorial! He wanted to scream
Did the system of World Orb ( as he decided to call this world from now on) judged that since he is in a battle state that means he is in a red zone, or is there some places where there is a safe zone where the zombies can’t thread?
He needs to find about this later. So many things he doesn’t know. And whatever the times, if there is something that is true, knowledge is always equal to power.
Accumulate knowledge, means you are accumulating power. Then he took out one of the vials from his kindergartener bag.
These vials, Azief don’t know when he will get it anymore so he made a decision. What is important to him now is strength and stamina.
Stamina is for him to last longer killing these stiffs, while with more strength he will kill this zombie in less strike which reduces the stamina.
A dilemma. Faster speed in killing or endurance to last longer? So what is more important to help him?
He still has two vials.
So he quickly made the decisions.
‘All to strength.’ Agility has to wait.
Even though agility made it faster for him to reach the debris are and make him more agile, the zombie is not fast.
For now, agility must not be his priority. Why did he even add stats to agility just a moment ago?
‘No’ he said.
‘There is no use regretting. Agility has its uses. I need to think of it like that.’
At least with this speed, and strength, combined with stamina he could finish the zombie faster before the other zombie is coming here.
Most of them are still slow, but if Azief learns anything from zombies’ movies, if there is slow moving zombies, then they are also fast moving zombies.
Azief goals are to gain as much loot as possible from this trapped zombie. They are weak, trapped and easy prey.
When will Azief get such luck again?
If he is stronger at least maybe there is a chance for him to go home or at least to go to the Store mall just a 500 meter from the signal post which is just 300 meter from where Azief is situated right now.
And the world has definitely changed from this moment on. Strength might be the new rule and if strength is the new rules, he wants to be the judge.

Azief began stabbing again. Jump, stab. Jump, stab. And collect the loot. Rinse and repeat. Rinse and repeat.
Shoes, necklace, ring, boots, and some skill books would sometimes appear, causing Azief's bag to become almost full.
YOU HAVE ADVANCED TO LEVEL 11. YOU HAVE EARNED 2 STATS POINTS.
‘All to strength’ he said.
His strength is now 18 and with the additional bonus of the gloves it’s 20. It takes only one strike now with 1/3 of the power he used against the first zombie he met.
It makes his stamina decrease slower and makes him killing zombies easier.
By now he has five blue vials, 3 red vials, and 6 green vials. He didn’t drink yet the green vials.
Then his rusty dagger cracked.
‘What-‘ then quickly Azief look hard at his dagger and the information appear on his eyes.
RUSTY DAGGER.
ATTACK: 0-6
SNEAK ATTACK: 0-12
DURABILITY: 10/100
‘Ha’ he sighed. Durability is low and within another 30 or 35 strikes the dagger might be of no further use.
But he did not panic. After all killing many of the zombies he did get a few items of importance.
Seeing this Azief takes out a blade from the kindergartener bag.
He looks at the blade.
NORMAL BLADE
ATTACK: 5-15
SNEAK ATTACK: 0-20
DURABILITY: 140/140
‘Why didn’t I use this? Idiot!’ he scolded himself.
Azief throw his dagger into the kindergarten bag and change his weapon. A blade is longer and its reach is also longer.
He begins his killing again. One zombie jump, while its innards dribbling out of his decapitated body.
Azief dodge the zombie surprise attack, spins his body and slash his blade and the zombie head is separated from its head, then quickly he stab the head and it smashed to smithereens of mutilated flesh and liquid of blood.
YOU HAVE ADVANCED TO LEVEL 12. YOU HAVE EARNED 2 STATS POINTS.
‘All to agility’ he decisively decided. In his mind, one particular plan has emerged when he saw that zombie from nearby area is beginning to swarm around him.
He could not last longer after all.
YOU HAVE ADVANCED TO LEVEL 13. YOU HAVE EARNED 2 STATS POINTS.
‘All to agility’
YOU HAVE ADVANCED TO LEVEL 14. YOU HAVE EARNED 2 STATS POINTS.
‘All to agility’
YOU HAVE ADVANCED TO LEVEL 15. YOU HAVE EARNED 2 STATS POINTS.
‘All to agility.’ Each time he added it to agility. While drinking the vials at lightning speed. All the blue vials almost run out.
YOU HAVE ADVANCED TO LEVEL 16. YOU HAVE EARNED 2 STATS POINTS.
‘All to agility’
YOU HAVE ADVANCED TO LEVEL 17. YOU HAVE EARNED 2 STATS POINTS.
‘All to agility.’
The sound begins attracting another horde of zombie to come to Azief area. Azief also know this and he has a plan.
He hopes his game knowledge will help him here.
‘I hope this work’ as the last of the zombie around him has been stabbed.
Azief pull out his blade from the zombie head, with two kindergarten bag behind him, one is a kindergartener bag with Ben 10 designs, made from China while the other one has some pink pony.
He looks utterly ridiculous.
He stands there waiting as the horde of zombies from the surrounding areas is coming towards him, one step at a time.
