After successfully escaping from the orcs and goblins, the family had no rest. The goblins continually bothered them and they had to constantly move from where they were.
Even so, the previous attack did not go badly for them...
Being attentive all the time without hesitation was exhausting, but the reward made up for it...
Their experience, which should cost more than before to climb, was rising rapidly, all achieving level 10 after a couple of days of "rest".
Although there was no real rest for them, they were in a quiet period compared to the upcoming war against the orcs.
The goblins and orcs were now on the lookout for attacks and never slacked off, all previously planned strategies went down the drain.
Only the most effective strategy remained, to be stronger than your opponent.
Viktor even achieved level 11, which was impressive; of course, this was something he did not achieve alone and it was something he succeeded thanks to his family's unopposed decision to give him more experience.
But mostly it was because of his new passive, [Chaos Control (Lvl 2)] This passive did not increase the experience received by the whole group, but if the group decided to give him more experience, as it increased 20% of it, he would receive more, increasing the total experience received by the group.
They decided to level him up a little faster as well, since even without an arm, Viktor was undoubtedly the vanguard of their group, and the one who could be in the most danger.
That he was stronger meant that they could fight more.
They couldn't count the number of goblins they had to kill for this...
They used a hit and run strategy, slowly damaging the enemy camps.
They had already managed to kill most of the normal orcs and one goblin boss, the one in the east camp, which they had previously seriously wounded.

On a sunset, while his family was standing guard Viktor was learning something new, training to achieve it, having succeeded a couple of times, he was confident that the system would recognize his efforts.
He was training to finally be able to gain an active ability on his own, without using Scoins.
By directing his mana to different parts of his body, he eventually achieved a passive one:
[Body Strengthening. (Passive Skill)(Normal, Rank F)
-Description:Your body adapts to the flow of mana, getting stronger faster.
-Effect:10% gain of physical attributes per level(you can obtain the levels you didn't previously gain as well) ]
But Viktor was not satisfied with this alone, using the mana accumulated in his arm, he tried to throw it to the tip of his fist when punching and accumulate it there.
His MP was dropping as a result, and his punch from time to time was stronger, but he still didn't master it...
He believed that when he mastered it the system message confirming a new skill would appear...
And finally the expected message arrived:
[Congratulations: You have learned the active skill reinforced strike.(Active skill, common).
-Description: By actively strengthening a specific area of your body with mana you have succeeded in strengthening your attack.
-Effect: You increase your defense and attack with a specific part of your body by 50%.]
[Congratulations, you have unlocked a new achievement:
Mana Prodigy: You have managed to control a high level of mana before level 15 and create your first active skill.
-Effect: 20% of experience in all skills.
20% of mana optimization (when using active skills, they spend less mana when you know how to control it) ]
'This is pretty cool, I should teach others about this achievement' Viktor thought as he made a mental note to tell about this to his family.
He wanted them to be able to progress quickly as well.
The desire to really be someone important surged in Viktor; he knew he already had things that probably no one else in this apocalypse had, at least, no one worldwide.
His experience was rising faster than the others, he was gaining more and more important things, while the others were struggling to keep up with the increasing strength of the monsters.
Viktor was realizing his insatiable desire to compete for the top, with all those groups and people who have had power for a long time, who used their influence to level up and were already at such high levels, that Viktor could only envy.
But it wasn't going to be like this always, Viktor vowed.
Even knowing that those at the top were already levels as high as 40, he still believed he could still manage to surpass them.

Having dinner while planning his next move with his family, Viktor decided that tomorrow would come the final battle in this orc place.
"THERE WILL BE NO MORE ORCS HERE!!!" Repeated in their heads the members of this particular family.
There was no grand plan only to clash, the most powerful would win, absolute power would always be the best plan.
What plan could people with spears make against a nuclear bomb?
That's why Viktor wanted to be something that transcends the nuclear bomb.
