Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

With the Experience rewards they received once again, Sandra and Diana actually leveled up once more. Bringing them both to Level 19.

For support-type Survivors like them, it was already amazing to reach this level. After all, there are still plenty of Survivors at level 15 or even lower because their talents were simply not suited for combat.

Thankfully, Shane also leveled after the accumulation! Shane was happy about this level up but what he was waiting for, however, was the confirmation that their team got the fastest clear in all stages of the event.

After all, aside from getting a special reward from each stage, another hidden reward would be given once his team was the fastest in all stages!

He was just worried this time hidden reward would not be given since they didn’t really have the ’Clear Time’ on the fifth stage.

’But if the Vampire would be considered as the fifth stage boss, then that took us less than five minutes… It’s still not a bad record.’ Shane mused as he shook his head to erase his random thoughts.

There was no point guessing about this right now since the others would probably finish with their Raids in a few more hours.

Shane then looked at his level-up reward.

[ You have leveled up. ]

[ Congratulations! You are the first Survivor to reach Level 31! ]

[ You have earned 50 Reputation Points. ]

[ Your Survivor Store and Reputation Store have been refreshed. ]

[ You have claimed all the items that are available in the Survivor Store and Reputation Store. ]

’Ohhh!’

Shane’s eyes lit up after seeing this reward.

He actually obtained all the items being sold from those stores! Furthermore, they even refreshed it first, so the food he purchased this morning would be replaced…

Shane was excited to see the items he had obtained, so he immediately checked the stores and saw that everything had been grayed out, confirming that they’d all been transferred to his inventory.

The Survivor Store was divided into three stores. Shane quickly checked the Weapon Store.

[ Machete of the Fallen (Rare): A beautifully forged machete with a serrated edge, perfect for both slashing and stabbing. This weapon is effective in close-quarters combat, with a special enchantment that enhances the wielder’s agility.

Price: 70 Zombie Cores

Quantity: 0/2 ]

[ Flamethrower Fuel Canister ( Exceptional ): A refill canister for flamethrowers, containing a highly combustible mixture. When used, it unleashes a torrent of fire, incinerating zombies or anything in its path. Essential for crowd control in dire situations.

Price: 30 Zombie Cores

Quantity: 0/20 ]

[ Explosive Barbed Wire ( Rare ): A spool of barbed wire infused with explosives, perfect for setting traps. Once triggered, it creates an explosive barrier that can take down multiple zombies at once.

Price: 90 Zombie Cores

Quantity: 0/10 ]

Just from these three items in the Weapon Store, Shane already saved 1,640 Zombie Cores!

The flamethrower wasn’t in his possession, so he had to transfer the Fuel Canister to Raze or Layla in the Springriver Manor.

Shane then continued looking at the weapons.

[ Electric Shock Grenade ( Exceptional ): A tactical grenade that emits a powerful electric shock upon detonation, stunning zombies and temporarily incapacitating them. Ideal for crowd control and creating escape opportunities.

Price: 150 Zombie Cores

Quantity: 0/5 ]

[ Sharpened Spiked Bat ( Uncommon ): A baseball bat reinforced with metal spikes, designed for maximum impact and gore. This weapon is perfect for melee combat, allowing for powerful swings and effective crowd control.

Price: 30 Zombie Cores

Quantity: 0/3 ]

”Electric Shock Grenade, huh… Upgrading it to Master Grade should be good enough to make it usable against high-tier Zombies.” Shane mused. Although the effect of the electric shock wouldn’t be so significant against the high-tier Zombies, even if it stunned them in three or five seconds only, that would be more than enough for him already.

Lastly, Shane looked at the item that was supposedly available for seven days in the store.

[ Acidic Grenade ( Exceptional ): A grenade filled with a strong corrosive substance that eats away at zombie flesh upon detonation. This weapon creates a hazardous area, damaging any infected caught within its blast radius.

Price: 250 Zombie Cores

Quantity: 0/1 ]

Shane found this item interesting since it was only an Exceptional Grade item, but it was actually too expensive. However, after realizing that it only affects the Zombies or those infected, he realized that this was indeed a powerful item. After all, he wouldn’t have to worry about his allies being affected even if he threw this in their midst.

Shane then turned his attention to the Nourishment Store.

They weren’t all that impressive and were actually quite simple. There were Canned Beans for 2 Zombie Cores each, Enhanced Energy Drink for 5 Zombie Cores, Stamina-Boosting Pills for 20 Zombie Cores, Mystic Herbal Tea that provides a healing effect for a period of time for only 30 Zombie Cores, and others

Then, Shane checked the Random Item Store.

Aside from the familiar Zombie Lure, Signal Flare, and Adrenaline Injector, Shane found three new items being sold.

[ Signal Mirror ( Common ): A reflective mirror used for signaling other survivors over long distances. This simple yet effective tool can be a lifesaver when trying to attract attention or communicate silently.

Price: 10 Zombie Cores

Quantity: 0/15 ]

[ Firestarter Kit ( Common ): A portable kit containing flint, tinder, and matches, essential for starting fires in survival situations. This kit is crucial for warmth, cooking, and signaling for help.

Price: 15 Zombie Cores

Quantity: 0/12]

[ Zombie Repellent Spray ( Rare ): A potent spray that emits a scent repugnant to zombies, allowing survivors to navigate through hordes without being detected. This spray has a limited duration but can be a lifesaver in sticky situations.

Price: 75 Zombie Cores

Quantity: 0/5 ]

After seeing these items, Shane didn’t feel too disappointed since they were basically free in the first place, so he turned his attention to the belt bag left by the Vampire.

He took it out of his Inventory and carefully picked it up, feeling the weight and sensing the magical aura emanating from it.

’Interesting… Why is he carrying a belt bag in the first place? Does he not have a System Inventory? But if he’s the Vampire’s Rise Ender, he should have a system, right? Or maybe the Ender isn’t from a foreign world?’ Shane couldn’t help but make a few guesses about the identity of the Vampire.

He could already tell that this Ender couldn’t show all his might during their battle. The reason was most likely because this place was different from the Vampire’s world or because this was a special area that was controlled by the Administrators…

In any case, Cloud, his A.I. Assistant, quickly confirmed that the bag was indeed a Spatial Storage item, capable of holding numerous items within its enchanted space.

With a deep breath, Shane opened the bag and began to check the items inside one by one. To be exact, his mind seemed to be able to sense everything that was inside.

The first thing he noticed was a pile of Zombie Cores, and through his mental connection, he was able to confirm their exact number. The Vampire actually stored a total of 3,205 Zombie Cores!

This was certainly a huge amount!

Next, he found 230 item upgrade crystals and he couldn’t help but feel impressed by this amount. After all, this would allow him to upgrade a lot of items!

As he continued to explore the contents, he discovered several Bloodstones. They were dark green gems with bright red splashes that seemed to pulse with a life of their own. Shane had no idea about these things, but he could tell that they were definitely useful. There was a total of 970 of them!

But the loot didn’t end there.

Shane continued to find so many interesting items inside!

Vampire’s Fang Dagger x10

Vampire’s Cape x2

Corrupted Elixir of Eternal Youth x5

Spellcaster’s Amulet x5

Vampire Recruitment Stone x12

Shane marveled at the incredible array of items he had found. Each one was valuable in its own right… Of course, Shane found the Recruitment Stone for Vampires the most important among these selections.

For now, however, he transferred most of the items in his System Inventory in order to get their descriptions.

As he did so, he confirmed the effects of the items, especially the Corrupted Elixir of the Eternal Youth. Perhaps, if the word ’Corrupted’ wasn’t included in its name, he would really get excited about this elixir. However, he could tell that this wouldn’t be a good thing to consume…

[ Corrupted Elixir of Eternal Youth: A potion that granted the drinker enhanced vitality and slowed aging, a highly sought-after item. However, it has a very strong negative effect that could change the race of the consumer. ]

’As expected… Eternal Youth, huh… Maybe I’ll become a Baby Zombie because of this.’ Shane shook his head as he looked at the description.

Anyway, he checked all the items and considered where he could use them in the future…

Time quickly passed, and soon, Shane finally heard one of the system’s confirmations that everyone had completed the second stage of the Boss Raid event and that Team 1 was indeed the fastest!

Because of that, they obtained additional rewards!
