Encounter with survivor's

The orb was about the size of a baby's fist and white in color. Just by grasping it, Karl immediately knew how to use the orb naturally as if it had been something he had known all his life.

Squeezing his palm tightly, the orb flashed slightly, and disappeared as Karl heard the system voice.

[You have gain skill: Earth spike]

[Earth spike: Conjures a sharp stone spike, from the ground]

Karl use [Earth spike] and saw a spike made out of stone emerge from the ground and thrust upward, Karl nodded in satisfaction as he now have a mean to damage afar.

He noticed that the spike doesn't disappear instantly, but have to thought of it to make disappear.

Curious about his current attributes, he called up his status window and soon several blue letters flashed in his sight.

With his current magic power almost twice to his other stats, only reinforced Karl belief of becoming a back liner. However fearing to encounter another hulking zombie decided to add six points to his vitality, making vitality his second highest stat, feeling assured that he can now withstand a hit from hulking zombie.

As Karl arrived at the campus entrance, the place was desolate just like the city, but with a dozen walking at the ground.

Seeing this, Karl decided to test how many times he can use [Earth spike]

Three earth spike emerged from the ground impailing a few zombies, Karl felt a decent amount of his magic power was with those three [Earth spike].

Karl used [earth spike] six more time and impaled all the zombies, he thought 'felt like half of my magic power was used by the skill'.

[You have level up]

He walked in at the campus and thought were will the students hide, and thought 'The gymnasium'.

Karl headed to the gymnasium with Krass following behind, along the way Karl founded a few stray zombies but posses no real threat, let Krass paved the way.

Fifthteen minutes later, and after making detours to the area in order to find the easiest and least difficult path, Karl was finally only fifty meters away from the gym and reached his first goal.

However, things seemed complicated.

Karl frowned slightly as he crouched in a corner and saw the dense group of zombies wandering near the gymnasium. There were over fifty zombies, all of them too close together for him to pass. Even for someone like Karl it was no easy feat to fight against fifty undead as he will likely run out of magic power, and be runned down by the horde.

As Karl watched the movement of the group's of zombies several meters ahead, he quickly noticed that some of them were banging on the doors in an attempt to break them down. However, these doors were completely metal so it was absolutely impossible for these zombies to break through no matter how hard they tried.

The sound of bangs from the metal door had attracted other zombies, causing that the group of a few more than fifty soon reached eighty.

"There are definitely people in there." Karl said. If not for that reason, then he couldn't think of anything else why the zombies would be so intent on not moving anywhere else.

Karl thought of using a hit and run strategy, as he drew the hordes attention, Krass will picked at the undead one.

"HEY!"

He shouted, as he drew the group's attention, Krass separated to move behind the where he'll picked them up.

Karl swing his metal bat hitting a zombies as went close to Karl, as he distant himself away from the group.

Thirty minutes later. Krass bit a zombie's neck decapitating as he and Karl panted clearly out of breath, as they finished killing all the zombies.

But continued heading to the gymnasium, As he knocked on the door knowing it's locked by the other side.

"Hey" Karl shouted hoping someone could here it

A minute later. He heard someone from the other side to wait a bit.

The metal door opened. Karl saw two male student and a teacher with disheveled looks looking at him with joy in there eyes thinking that they are safe, but immediately went frightened as they saw Krass behind Karl.

"Monster" All three of them shouted, the teacher about to strike at Krass with a dagger hidden behind his pocket, was stopped by Karl.

"What are you doing" Karl asked

The teacher was baffled at Karl strength, asked "What's that?"

As the teacher pointed at Krass.

"His my pet" Karl said, the teacher and students faces became mo baffled.

Karl decided not to waste more time went in, as the students immediately closed the door.

"Are rescue coming" the teacher asked hopefully, but Karl said with a flat tone"no".

He looked around, disappointed as he saw only thirty survivor and immediately noticed seven students formed in the corner happily chatting but most eye-catching sight is a burly student with a hammer roughly one meter long.

Karl immediately know that he is the leader of the survivor, as he walked toward there.

However he was stopped by the teacher.

"I advised not to talked to them as they are troublemaker and throw to the zombie" the teacher warned Karl, as Krass was angry as it look like it was offended by its statement toward it's master.

Karl calmed Krass down and ignore the teacher's warning, confident that he is stronger than those ragtag group.
