A Hope for survivors II

Zombies stood no chance against this ninja who cut them in half with ease. Blood sprayed and heads fell to the ground. The survivors on top the bus began shooting the zombies to try help ease the unending amount which had gathered.

Zed showed no signs of slowing down and continued to use his blade to slice zombies clean in half. The only problem was how long this would take and so he turned on the stalker class and instantly his speed and strength doubled. The dent in the hoard grew to twice, no three times the size in a matter of seconds. Zombies died countlessly and without mercy. None stood a chance against this true monster.

A few minutes later and almost every single zombie had been killed. The only remaining ones were those coming from throughout the city due to the gunshots.

"Thank you so much sir, " a female survivor said as she jumped down from the bus.

These survivors actions were quickly followed by two others.

Zed couldn't explain what had just happened to them and so he threw them a map with his base's location and sprinted off.

The group looked at the map and a large muscular man picked it up. "What the hell was that kid? To be able to kill that many Zombies with just a sword."

From a distance, Zed could see the group talking to each other. They seemed to be talking about whether or not to try their chances. Although Zed could not confirm this he could tell that it looked positive.

With this Zed could continue moving throughout the city. With a smack, Zed landed on the streets and began running once more.

His next stop would be to find the girl and her family which had saved him. Although he knew hardly anything about them, he at least knew that they were some of the only people he had trusted in his previous life. The apocalypse meant life or death after all. There was no in-between.

If Zed remembered correctly, the girl and her family owned a coffee shop just South-West of his current position. This was one of the only things which he knew about the family.

Running towards where the coffee shop should have been, Zed murdered tens of zombies and had noticed his bar had gone up multiple times since he had reached the city. Nevertheless, he still hadn't levelled up or distributed his new attribute points even once.

As Zed continued sprinting in the direction he turned off his stalker class skill and opened his status screen.

Seeing it he could tell that he had levelled up around 9 times from all of the zombies which he had killed. Of course, this could also partly be attributed to the fact that there was currently double exp during the refining stage.

Zed thought about the exp he had earned converting into levels and as he willed it, it happened. He now had 35 new attribute points.

Thinking for only a moment he placed 20 points into agility and 15 into magic. He still wanted to stick to the same path of being quick and relying on his magic and class to give him strength. This didn't mean that he wouldn't ever increase the strength stat though, since it was still essential to break through some zombies tougher flesh.

Looking at his new status he also noticed that some of his skills had increased. Zeds swordsman technique went from a 1 to a 7 which considering how much there was to master was actually an incredible feat. His marksmanship had also increased from a 73 to a 79. It would seem these stats didn't take into consideration if he knew everything about the skills from his past life or not.

Zed (lvl34):

Health: 43/43

Magic: 80/80

Strength: 50/50

Agility: 123/123

Intelligence: 467/467

Learning Rate: 967/967

Abilities:

Swordsmanship (Diamond Cutting Water Dance Technique 7/100), boxing (Thai Style 40/100), irregular learner, marksman (79/100), Water Elementalist (Rushing Waterfall Technique 1/100), etc

As Zed continued to look over his stats he decided he should try using magic in his next fight. This would hopefully increase the strength of his most powerful technique, Rushing Waterfall. This was an extreme technique which Zed had created based off of the lost swordsmanship technique of Diamond Cutting Water Dance. By itself, it was in the top water-based magic techniques but when used with his swordsmanship, it was the strongest form of magic known to humanity.

Zed smiled with his new plan on increasing his magic and decided to start using it straight away.

He remembered the basics and began using water magic. Blades of water formed around his already sharp katana and increased the speed and strength at which Zed could cut.

The water at this low level could be used in only two ways. That was to cut with precision and ease or to cut with decimating force and speed to shred and rip apart the flesh in which it made connection with.

Zed chose the second of the two since it was the harder technique and therefore would increase his chances at levelling the skill up.

As his water blade touched the first zombie blood and chunks of flesh spray all into the air leaving a mist of blood. The magic was exactly as Zed had remembered when practising it in his previous life.

Soon Zed had torn apart roughly 20 undead and could tell that his magic would continue to last for another 300 or so zombies. This was assuming that none would be of a higher tier.

Zombies of high tier would drain more magic points if they were to be killed due to their strength and durability.

Zed guessed that tier two zombies would only start appearing about half a year into the apocalypse. When this happened some humans would already be strong enough to deal with them however those who weren't would either have to get strong quick or fall behind and inevitably die. This was the way of the apocalypse.

It was now dark and Zed knew that the family would be safe for now. So, Zed entered a building and went to the top floor where he set up a spot for him to sleep. He would continue the search in the morning.
