this guy has also been reincarnated

Although the color was almost the same as in his memory, the gloss and texture of the sword's blade were completely different.

So he thought it was just a coincidence.

But now, it seems like this sword can be upgraded??

Damn it!

In my previous life, Clarence's sword, it actually transformed from a normal sword to a golden one??

And the rich kid who bought the family heirloom sword from Clarence, was actually Bruce??

I'm losing my mind!

"Hold on a second!" Jesse suddenly realized something: "Not only did that bastard Bruce take Cynthia away, but he also bought Clarence's sword in advance?? It can't just be a coincidence..."

Could it be... this guy has also been reincarnated??

 Watching Bruce downstairs effortlessly taking out monsters with Andúril sword while accompanied by a golden-haired monkey, Jesse was dumbfounded, hardly able to believe his own judgment.

When Malachi was absent and the sword was bought by someone else, he already felt that something was fishy.

Because he indeed had been reincarnated, and the apocalypse had indeed come.

All signs indicated that his memories were not wrong.

But at that time, he didn't think much about it.

He just thought it was the butterfly effect caused by his own reincarnation.

Later, when Cynthia appeared with Bruce in the secret realm, he felt that something was wrong while feeling utterly hopeless.

Now, seeing the Andúril sword in Bruce's hand, a flash of insight hit him, and everything suddenly made sense.

So... Bruce has also been reincarnated?

And it seems like he reincarnated earlier than me?

So he could seduce Cynthia and buy the sword in advance?

So he could become so quickly familiar with the apocalypse and develop murderous intent towards me??

So that's how it is, so that's how it is!

As Jesse realized this, he quickly took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down.

But this was just too unbelievable.

Even though Jesse had experienced ten years of the apocalypse, his mind was still a bit chaotic at this moment.

He originally thought that his reincarnation was a chance given to him by the heavens.Reincarnation?

For someone who has experienced ten years of the apocalypse, how wonderful of a term is that?

But now, it seems like the heavens clearly favor this scumbag Bruce more?

What should I do? What should I do?

Jesse felt anxious, but his brain quickly began to churn.

Fight? He definitely wouldn't stand a chance.

If the other party has also been reincarnated like himself!

Their combat power wouldn't be weak to begin with, plus with the treasures from the secret realm and the situation with that sword, and they've had so many more days to develop than himself?

What could he possibly use to fight them with??

Escape?

Bruce is already downstairs clearing out monsters, should I take the opportunity to escape?

While the other party is still a distance away from reaching me.

Should I use this time to clean out the monsters in the corridor and then flee for my life??

"Huh? What's that Bruce doing?"

Debby's astonished voice snapped Jesse back to reality.

Jesse took a closer look.

Bruce downstairs took over an hour to come over.

With Ignacio, the bodyguard, and that monkey, they arrived at the dormitory where Zara was!

After dealing with some monsters, they rescued several girls from the second floor.

They gave them some food and water, then Ignacio took them back to the previous building??

"Are they rescuing people?"

"No... that can't be?"

"Ignacio brought back three girls!"

"Jesse, didn't you say... Bruce is a hypocrite?"

Seeing Bruce both rescuing people and giving out food and water, Jesse's companions were dumbfounded.

Because what they were seeing now was completely different from Jesse's description.

When Jesse rescued people.

He only saved those who had survival and self-defense abilities.

Like the three of them.

As for those who had no combat abilities, he at most gave them a little bit of food."After letting them fend for themselves, living or dying on their own.

But now Bruce is... rescuing people?

It seems like he's rescuing anyone who's still alive??

What's going on?

Even Jesse himself is a bit puzzled.

If Bruce is indeed a reincarnator, why would he bother to save these girls who don't particularly stand out and are completely powerless?

This doesn't make sense!!

And why hasn't he come over to kill me first?

Did he not notice my presence in this building?

Or perhaps, he's not a reincarnator?

Even though he found me, maybe there's no conflict of interest, so he doesn't want to come kill me??

"This guy was always so hypocritical, don't you believe me?"

Jesse couldn't understand, but regardless, he couldn't lose his momentum!

"N-no... but... Jesse, do we really need to go out?"

"Why go out?" Jesse countered.

Even though he had considered going out before, to show off in front of his ex-girlfriend and get some revenge.

But Bruce's appearance completely disrupted his plans.

Going out at this moment would not only be useless, but might even get Jesse killed by Bruce.

"But... your girlfriend is still across the way? If you don't go, she might be saved by Bruce!"

Jesse sneered, "Let him save her then. A woman like her doesn't deserve to be my girlfriend!"

In his mind, Zara was just a scheming woman.

If it weren't for her in his past life, even if he developed a bit later, he could have easily become one of the world's top strongmen.

How could he have remained unknown for ten years in the apocalypse?

But Duane and the others who heard Jesse's words were stunned.

Even Debby, their looks towards Jesse changed.

You, Jesse, were just a poor loser before the apocalypse.

And Zara was a well-known beauty in school.

For you to become Zara's boyfriend, it was all because of your studies, looks, and relentless pursuit of her.

And weren't you just a backup?"Now, you're saying she's not worthy of him??"

"Do you really have the nerve??"

Duane and the others expressed that they had never seen Jesse so conceited before.

[Ding, congratulations on your wind attribute ability reaching black special high-rank...]

"Phew, finally leveled up again!"

Meanwhile, Bruce, along with Cynthia, Elbert, and Ben, hid on the second floor of the dormitory where Zara was located to recover their strength.

Seeing this system prompt, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Because he received ten attribute points from Cynthia, and it's easier to find neutral attribute crystals.

So, his physical quality went from black iron initial-rank to bronze initial-rank in less than two days.

But this ability?

During this time, he hadn't seen a single wind attribute crystal.

Since the second day of the apocalypse, after his ability reached intermediate-rank, it had remained stagnant.

Even though he practiced with the remaining energy every day, it was still the same.

But now...

Hmm!

Bruce sensed his situation.

With full capacity, he should be able to use about 20 wind blades.

Which means his storage capacity has doubled again.

Now, he probably has around 12 left.

(During ability upgrades, the energy instantly increases)

"Bruce, it's almost seven in the evening, are we still going upstairs?"

"We are! Why wouldn't we?"

"But those monsters seem to have roamed over here again, there are many on our way back!"

Cynthia looked out the window at the monsters on the road, feeling worried. "If we go up now, we won't have time to go back."

At night, the outside danger triples at least.

So, even Bruce wouldn't venture outside at night!

"Should we stay here overnight?"

"Well, I guess... that works too!"

"Alright, enough talking, let's go!" Bruce looked at Elbert. "Give me the bag!"

"Oh, okay!"
