Regis and Boney didn’t even managed to get that far when 5 five zombies appeared from a corner and staggered towards them. Regis seeing the group of zombies, revealed a cold smile and gave an order to Boney.
“Boney, Kill them”
Hearing Regis command, Boney immediately rush towards the group of zombies while Regis followed closely behind, holding his new weapon.
When Boney reach his range of attack, quickly swing his blade, immediately beheading two of them while Regis stabbed one of the zombies and the other two got their limbs cut off by Boney, as Regis killed the two.
“You’re now level 3, you’ve earned 2 stat points, please distribute the points”
“Distribute to stamina and strength”
After distributing his stat points, Regis immediately went to pick up 1 small bronze and white treasure boxes and a single skill book that was dropped by the zombies.

Regis quickly learned the skill and equipped the remaining items. He immediately felt himself getting stronger and his body got lighter.
“Awesome!”
Regis felt extreme joy, wearing the battlesuit is like giving him an additional 3 lives. He was sure that with this items he got, he would still be able to survive in this post-apocalyptic world as long as he threads carefully along the way.
After a few seconds, Regis finally focused his attention at his surroundings and after he saw that no zombies was nearby, he let out a sigh of relief, worried that a zombie might have gotten closed to him. Regis knows that losing his focus for a short moment might lead to his doom.
Regis knowing he’s still not safe, immediately gave an order to Boney.
“Boney, take the front and kill any zombies that moves towards us”
Boney receiving his orders, started moving while Regis cautiously followed behind him while he would occasionally looked behind. Regis knows that’s his still lucky enough as this chaos happened during spring break and if it happened when classes was still going on, he knows he won’t survive long as the boys dormitory shelters over 400 students while the current people inside the dormitory doesn’t even exceed the hundreds. Luckily it didn’t happen before spring break.
As they descended the stairs, Regis saw some mangled bodies along the stairs.
“There must be people who’s still not infected here”
Regis immediately thought when he saw those dead zombies on the stairs.
Hearing the sound of their footsteps, 7 zombies staggered towards them when they reached the 2nd floor of the building. Seeing the zombies moving in their direction, Boney and Regis immediately charged towards them. When Regis got near a zombie he immediately sent a kick and it was sent flying for 3 meters as he immediately hacked another zombie that tried to grabbed him.
After a short while, all of the zombies are now lying on the floor, as orb of white lights entered their body.
“You’re now Level 4, you have earned 2 points, please distribute the points!”
As Regis killed the last zombie, he immediately heard the sweet sound of notification on his mind as he gained another level.
“Distribute it to stamina and strength”
Regis was gasping for breath, as he only have 5 stamina left after the fight but because he got a Sword he wasn’t that much tired after battling the zombies unlike when he was only using the Novice Stick that he needed to put more effort on killing them, consuming a lot of his stamina.
After a while, Regis went to picked up the loots, he saw a glass tube with a green liquid inside and a cork as its lid and 125 worth of World Coins.
Elixir – a very rare item, can cure any infected person by drinking it.
Warning: Only use it if you don’t have any options left. It’s an incredibly rare item that can be dropped only on the 1st day of the New World Order System.

“Whoa! This is an incredible item!”
Regis was overjoyed by this find, now he got another important trump card if ever he got infected. He immediately but carefully put it inside in a secret pocket on his bag as he saw another group of zombies staggering towards them.
“Damn, this zombies sure knows how to wander around”
Regis immediately complained when he saw the zombies, there are 3 girls and two boys within, all of them has a lot of missing chunks of flesh.
“Boney, kill them”
Boney immediately rushed towards the group while Regis move towards the room near him.
“Hello, anybody there?”
Regis asked as he knocked two times at the door, when no one answered, he went to the other room and did the same thing to the rest. When he reached the last room.
“Anyone there?”
Regis asked as he knocked at the door, then heard scrambling sounds and someone answered back.
“Regis, is that you?”
Hearing the familiar voice, Regis was immediately overjoyed.
“Daichi? ”
Regis thought of that familiar figure. Soon, the door opened wide, Daichi holding a wooden bat quickly walked out.
“Regis, you’re still alive”
Regis watched Daichi, a small smile appeared on his face, he took a step forward and slapped Daichi’s shoulder.
Daichi could be considered quite handsome, he smiled and looked at Regis.
“Regis, thank you for the rescue!’
“Rescue? I didn’t even know you’re still here, I thought you already went home?”
Regis was confused, why this cousin of his still in the dorm and immediately asked.
“Regis, it really is you, It’s me Haruka” Just then from inside the room, a pretty girl with black hair that reaches her shoulders and an oval face walked out.
Seeing the familiar girl, Regis stared at her for a while and looked at Daichi as if asking for an explanation.
Seeing the look that Regis is giving him, Dachi gave a wry smile and gave a short explanation of what happened.
“I was on my way home already but when I just got outside of the school…”
Daichi told everything to Regis, from when he heard that strange voice and when zombies started appearing, when he went to look for his girlfriend Haruka and found her with her friends, till they were forced to hide in the boy’s dormitory.
“I see, so that’s what happened” Regis nodded in understanding.
“Anyway, it’s good to see you Haruka” Regis just smiled and nodded, a bit embarrassed from his late greeting.
Daichi then glance at Boney who was standing behind Regis and asked directly:
“Is it an ability that you got?”
Regis nodded and replied:
“Yep”
Hearing Regis confirmation, Daichi’s eyes lit up as he carefully looked at the sword wielding skeleton.
Then from the room, 3 girls walked out.
“Let’s go, this is no place to talk” Regis suddenly said and started moving towards the stairs leading to the 1st floor of the dorm while he picked up a skill book from the zombies that Boney killed earlier.
Daichi took up the rear guard to protect the 4 girls.
[Level 1 Skill Book] Fireball
An ability to conjure a ball of fire to strike your enemies down. Can only be used 2 times a day.
Casting time: 15 seconds
Consumes 3 MP
“Not a suitable skill for me” Regis with this thought in his mind, looked at Daichi who was at the back and threw it to him “Take a look at the skill book, see if you can use it or not”
Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.
Daichi took the skill book and glance at it , then threw it back to Regis “Not suitable for me”
The four girls stared at Regis who was putting the skill book in his bag, eyes full of envy. They know that, that small black book could at least grant them a skill, enabling them to protect and make themselves useful.
Regis and Boney carefully walked downstairs while the others closely followed behind.
“Anyone of you knows how to drive?” Regis asked when they were halfway through the stairs.
Outside the dorm, have more than 50 zombies wandering around. Regis and Boney with the help of Daichi can slowly get rid of the zombies, but the stamina consumption would not be small. Only by driving a car can they escape out of the school.
“I could drive a car” one of the girls named Ayame immediately said, when she heard Regis asking them if they could drive, her mood immediately brightened up and answered. Ayame was another pretty girl among the other girls, she has an oval face and a light brown hair. When Ayame saw Regis earlier, she’s been thinking on how to make a good impression on him, so that she could at least become important on their small team. She knows that the world is already changing and the laws or rules wouldn’t matter anymore, so she wanted someone strong enough to protect her, like Regis.
“What kind of car can you drive?” Regis hurriedly asked, as he, Daichi and Boney killed the zombies on the 1st floor as the others closely followed.
“I could drive manual and automatic cars” Ayame said to him, as her eyes flashed a glint when she saw how Regis easily killed the zombies without showing any fear.
“Good” Regis said when he heard she could drive both types of cars.
The other girls, especially the two girls named Eri and Akane, both them hated themselves for not learning how to drive and full of envy towards Ayame.
“Regis, where to now?” asked Daichi, after they killed the last zombie on the 1st floor and the rest of the girls also looked towards him waiting for his answer.
“Let’s go take the Dean’s car” Regis just plainly said to them.
When they heard that he wanted to take the car of the school Dean, all of them felt shocked because they all know that its stealing, but thinking up to now, society already started collapsing and they thought that their lives are far more important than stealing a car, so no one opposed his decision.
Regis then went to picked up the loots that the zombies dropped.
Regis was dejectedly looking at 2 white treasure box and a red fruit that looks like an apple, he really wanted to get more of those elixirs but not one of the zombies they killed till now even drop one.
Opening up one of the treasure boxes.
“What? Its empty” Regis grew more depressed as he saw that one of the treasure box is empty, he knows that the items inside these treasure boxes will help them survive in this post-apocalyptic world.
Regis then opened the next one, while the others was looking at the box on his hands with excitement in their eyes, hoping that the item inside will be of used to them.
Round Shield – able to withstands attacks from monsters level 12 and below.
Low Grade Equipment
Bonus stats: +3 STR
Sell: 130 World Coin
Regis grabbed the shield and waved it around a couple times, finding that it was not heavy, weighing only a few pounds, a defensive weapon.
“Daichi, take this shield”
Regis gave the shield to Daichi, Regis is already wearing the Bluestin Battlesuit, so he doesn’t need the shield.
Daichi accepted the shield and did not say anything. He is not a man of many words, but he is Yue most trusted best friend and cousin. When they were young, Regis and Daichi holding metal bats once fought with 8 well known hoodlums. That experience is the most dangerous fighting of their life. If the cops did not arrived quickly, they would have been dead.
When the girls except Haruka saw that the item is not for them, they felt sad and looked at Daichi with eyes full of envy. Meanwhile, Haruka was actually happy and felt proud for his man, she knows that if Daichi becomes stronger, he would at least have the ability to protect her and himself.
Regis then picked up that red fruit and looked at it.
Apple of Vitality - after eating, in a non-combat state, can able to restore 4 points of stamina within 5 minutes.
Sell: 20 World Coin
Regis glancing at the fruit, saw the information in his head.
“Nice one.”
Yue quickly put the apple inside his backpack.
Regis then stood up, look at his small group and smiled.
“Daichi, I’ll leave the safety of the girls to you here, I plan to go out and see if I can get the keys of the Dean’s car”
“What? But-” Daichi didn’t manage to finish his words when he saw the determined face of his cousin, he wanted to oppose his decision as he thought that they were all going together but when he saw that determined look from Regis, he knows that he wouldn’t be able to change his decision. Daichi gave a sigh.
“Okay, you better be careful then” Daichi said while he gave him a light punch on his shoulder.
“I will” As Regis also did the same thing to Daichi.
“You guys hide in a room here for now and if possible get as many useful supplies as you can, especially food and mineral water and don’t wander around without Daichi” Regis said while looking at the girls.
“Okay” the four girls agreed at the same time while giving Regis their best smiles.
Seeing that the girls all agreed to it, Regis just gave a nod at them, then opened his bag and took out the Fireball skill and handed it to Ayame.
Though Ayame is weak and fighting is probably not her forte but she’s still could be considered quite capable.
“You guys probably know this by now, when you kill a zombie you will level up and get strengthened. This sword- wielding skeleton here is one of my skills. This skill book is a Level 1 Fireball, on it is how to use the skill. Ayame im giving you this skill but i want you to promise me that when we are safe, help me and Daichi look for our parents.
This Fireball skill to Regis was only a second rate skill, especially now that he prefers going melee and for him the Fireball skill is still not a must learn skill right now, especially that his skill slots are only limited to 3, but if he can use it to strengthen their side, Regis won’t be stingy. Regis only desire was to escape from here at this time and find his parents.
Ayame is very decisive and in the eyes of the 3 other girls, were jealousy and envy towards the person that took the skill book “Yes! I promise you that once were safe, will certainly help you”
A light flashing, the skill book turned into a beam of light and entered Ayame’s body.
“It’s magic!” The side of Eri’s envious eyes watching Chen Yao, this was the first time that she saw someone receive such a skill.
“Really! Why does she get all the good stuff. Even god is blessing her!”
Akane watched Ayame absorb the skill book, eyes filled with jealousy and hate.
Ayame was not only very beautiful, and her family is wealthy, in the university was the subject of many boy’s desire. Even though Akane was a desirable girl, but in comparison to Ayame was far worse. She has been in envy and jealous of Ayame’s luck. Now that the world has begun to collapse, Ayame is also given a skill book by Regis, increasing her chances of survival, made Akane even more jealous.
Seeing that Ayame learned the skill and his stamina is now at 10 points. Regis immediately made his way outside the building.
“I’ll be going now” Regis said.
“You be careful cousin!”
Daichi said to Regis before going towards a nearby room and forcefully opening it.
“Be careful!”
Ayame and Haruka also said.
Regis just waved his hand without looking back, as he walked out, following behind him was Boney.
