Chapter 15 - It’s Party Time

Ever since the punks travelled through the small town of Mayberry, there were plenty of zombies roaming the road. Hunter didn't mind this fact, because it just meant more experience for him. He almost wished to thank the punks.

Going without saying, Hunter still needed to proceed with caution. There would be dangers around every corner and Hunter had to tread carefully.

Hunter still believed with his strength, the zombies would be no problem for him. His main goal right now was to level up his sister. She only needed one more level before she reached Lv. 5.

Hunter put all of his items from his backpack into his inventory, except for one item. The Red stone. The mysterious red stone that Hunter held in his hands had kept getting bigger, but nothing came of it yet.

He added the smaller red stones from the goblins and zombies he had killed yesterday, but the only change was that the stone kept getting bigger. It was now the size of a baseball and Hunter could barely wrap his hand around the mysterious red stone.

Hunter was now ready to head out. Michaela still wanted to follow Hunter, so she decided to tag along for his protection. Kendall also followed Hunter closely.

Kendall was Lv. 4 and allocated her basic points from when she leveled up to speed and strength. She already had 200 mana and could use her skill, 'Angel's Blessing,' four times. For her to be able to protect herself in the future, she needed more strength.

In video games, a healer's biggest weakness was its defense and inability to protect themselves when challenged head on. Healer's usually needed someone to defend them when casting spells and focusing on healing the injured. If they were to ever fight someone or something intelligent in the future, they would make Kendall the priority target.

Kendall wanted to be a healer who could also protect herself. If she could accomplish that, she would almost be unstoppable she believed. Kendall told Hunter her plan and Hunter agreed it was a good one.

Hunter soon left their apartment room with his sister and Michaela, and started heading towards the mob of zombies.

They headed towards the stairs and went down them. In the parking lot there were four zombies loitering around. Hunter rushed towards two of them and used his skill 'Encase' for the other two. He had his sister strike down those two while he cut off the limbs of the other two.

All of this happened in mere seconds and the fight was over fast. Kendall quickly cut down the other two zombies that Hunter had mercilessly cut the limbs off of.

Kendall was then met with a series of transparent screens and showed an expression of shock and excitement.

You have leveled up. You are now Lv. 5|

You have unlocked new system features!|

You can now use the 'Party' feature|

You can now use the 'Inventory' feature|

Hunter noticed Kendall's changed expression and knew exactly what that meant. She was now Lv. 5.

'It's party time.' Hunter thought with a sly smile one his face.

Hunter immediately tried adding her to his party again.

Would you like to add Kendall Miles to your party? Y/N|

Hunter quickly replied yes again.

Kendall then saw another transparent screen pop up in front of her.

Would you like to join Hunter Miles's party? Y/N|

Kendall has already been messing around with her newly gained system features and knew exactly what it meant. Kendall then also said yes. For them to join a party, the proposal had to be accepted by both individuals.

Party:

Hunter Miles Lv. 5

Kendall Miles Lv. 5

Party member will split experience gained 50/50|

Hunter noticed that he could change the distribution of experience to each party member. He decided to just keep the fifty-fifty split of experience. Hunter was not a selfish person and wanted to share his experience with Kendall.

Five more of the zombies noticed Hunter and Kendall kill their zombie friends and started making their way towards them. Hunter noticed the zombies and gave a sly smile. He didn't have to worry about cutting off all the limbs from the zombies anymore.

Hunter quickly intersected the zombies and cut them down quickly. Hunter was sad by the fact that he still have not got another level. It seemed much more difficult to acquire experience to level up.

'It must be because these zombies are such low level and I'm splitting my experience. If that's the case I will have to cut down all the zombies on this road.' Hunter thought.

The road was still littered with zombies from the punks who drove through town earlier. There were around twenty more zombies on the road. Hunter quickly made his way towards the zombies followed by Kendall, and then Michaela.

The zombies stood no chance against their new enemy. Hunter dodged left and right as he quickly cut down the zombies. After he cut down about seven of them, his knife broke. Hunter quickly pulled out his other one from his inventory.

This was Hunter's last knife so he had to be careful not to break it. Hunter still wanted to make a trip to the hardware store down town in the future, but it would be difficult with the kobolds protecting that area.

Hunter mercilessly killed the rest of the zombies. Kendall and Hunter each gained two levels.

You have leveled up. You are now Lv.7|
