Chapter 10: One-hour Sweeping, Departing
"Where is this place?" Kanel groggily opened his eyes as he saw a dark sky with stars. He got up and looked around before freaking out as he quickly stood up! "What the fuck, a graveyard?"
He was in the middle of a graveyard! There was a grave just three meters away from him.
"So, this skill will revive me in a graveyard?" Kanel murmured. "Well, whatever. I am finally safe."
*Grrr….*
Suddenly, he heard some sounds and turned around before seeing three zombies coming out of the ground!
"Fuck…. I need a weapon," Kanel cursed as he quickly looked around for a weapon while getting away from the zombies.
After arriving at the worn-out fence, he kicked it hard and broke off its metal spike.
Grabbing it, he turned towards the zombie and threw it by exerting all his strength!
The small metal spike hit the zombie's head, killing it instantly.
[You have killed a level 2 zombie. +1 agility, +1 strength].
He also saw a glowing box materialize after the zombie fell.
Kanel's eyes glowed as he saw that. 'But I need to kill the other two zombies first.'
*Clank!*
He kicked the fence again before pulling a metal rod from it. Then, grabbing the metal rod tightly, he took a deep breath and rushed toward the zombies.
While rushing at full speed, he stabbed a zombie and continued pushing it before it fell to the ground.
The other zombie turned around and continued staggering toward Kanel while Kanel quickly opened the treasure chest and got a spear with an ice attribute from it!
"Die!" Kanel stabbed the spear into the 3rd zombie. It froze entirely before breaking into pieces after Kanel took out the spear he pierced into it. contemporary romance
[You have reached level 2. You have gained 2 stats points that you can assign freely]
Kanel licked his lips and grinned as he got another box from the last zombie. "I will pay you back soon, boss Erix."

After leaving the campus, Erix and Rin first went deeper into the forest area behind the campus and started killing mutated animals and insects.
They killed everything they encountered without resting for one hour. When the boost of Rin's <Ignis Ad Intimacy> skill ran out, Rin felt tired. So, both of them took a break as they rested against a big tree's trunk.
"I am envious of your unlimited stamina," Rin pouted as she lay on the ground with her head on Erix's lap.
"Haha, can't do anything about that. Anyway, let's arrange our skills and then leave."
In the past hour, they mainly got skill scrolls. Aside from skill scrolls, they got two weapons.
Erix took the Fiend Frost hammer, while Rin took the long katana-type sword called Oni-Taijin Sword.
After that, they shared their status screens and started arranging their arsenal of skills.
"Since we got 1st-Tier skills, let's throw away those normal skills," Rin said.
"Alright, I'll take that Iron Flower skill."
"Yep. You might be able to combine it with your metal control skill. Hmmm, then I'll take Thunder Blitz skill."
"What about Body Boost?"
"You take it. I'll take that Stamina Motor since I need stamina."
"Nah, you take both. My overall stats are stronger, anyway."
"But then you will have to keep one normal skill."
"It's fine."
After ten minutes, both of them were done.

"Eh, you kept Repairman..."
"Yep, it's helpful. I can fix things just by touching them after using this skill. It only costs mana. It says I can fix items up to level 50. That also includes our normal vehicles."
"Then it's indeed useful. But It would help you more if you had taken that Body Boost," Rin said with a wry smile as she looked at her status panel. "See, I also have +10 stat boosts from my outfit set."

"It's okay—just a tiny difference. Anyway, let's depart now."
"Yeah. My tiredness is gone after learning those two stats-boosting passive skills, haha."
"Great."
...
After taking a cruiser bike, they left the campus and stopped at the outer entrance path of the campus that touched the main road.
"Where are your parents?" Erix asked as he arched his head to look at Rin.
"They are in Phoenix City, and I want to meet them," Rin said with some worry. She hoped her parents were fine.
"Don't worry, babe. Your parents are no ordinary people, haha. Both of them are powerful martial artists, so I am sure they are fine," Erix said as he pecked Rin's lips for a short kiss before turning his head ahead and wearing back his mask to hide his slightly bluish pale face.
"Phoenix City is a bit far, but let's make it our destination. We will complete our tasks on the way," Erix said as he revved the bike.
Rin smiled and hugged Erix with her hands holding his waist. "Alright. I will also finally introduce you to my parents. Let's hope they accept a half-zombie as their son-in-law."
"Hahaha, now that doesn't sound optimistic."
*Vrooom, Vroom!*
"By the way, did we miss Felix's death notification, or did it not ring at all?" Erix asked while driving.
"No idea. We don't get names in notifications and only levels. Moreover, I didn't inspect that trash, so I don't know his level."
"Hmmmm..." Erix felt that he was alive. "He might be alive, actually. I remember we didn't get any notifications after we entered the forest, and if he died, he should have died around that time."
Rin chuckled and grabbed Erix's cheeks. "So what if he is alive? If that idiot appears before us again, we'll slaughter him just the same. We've come far, so it would be idiotic to waste our time because of that worthless trash."
"Who knows where he is right now?" Rin added.
"Haha, not wrong. So, we focus on surviving and getting stronger for now."
"Exactly. And if that Felix got some vengeance in him, he would come for us, so we have to get so strong that he must piss himself just from our presence."
"Sounds good, my queen. We shall do that."
"Humu."
