It was almost sunset and Lloyd and his friends had already gathered more than enough materials from the Instant Hut and sold the rest, they repeated this until they got some amount of coins. And Lloyd recalled back his skeletons.
"I'm starving. I wish I could order a pizza right now." Zeke grumbled.
"Me too. I miss lollipops." Lloyd added.
Just then they heard some noises coming from a bush in front of them. They readied themselves and prepared for the worst.
Zeke unsheathed both swords not really sure of how to use them.
"Summon Warrior Skeleton." Lloyd called out.

A reddish black portal appeared in front of Lloyd like the last time, but only the Warrior Skeleton appeared.
'Flaming Foot ' Ace thought.

A rabbit jumped out of the bush, and the first to strike was Zeke. He slashed his right katana downwards, but the little rabbit was fast and nimble as it was able to easily maneuver it's way and dodge the attack.
"Attack, Warrior Skeleton." Lloyd commanded.
The skeleton dashed towards the rabbit and within a few steps it had already caught up with the rabbit. It stabbed it's sword into the head of the rabbit and killed it instantly.

"Whoa, I got experience points when I didn't even do anything." Lloyd said in surprise.
"Probably because the skeleton was a part of you attacking indirectly." Ace said.
Zeke just ignored both of them, sheathed his swords and walked towards the dead meat.
"That should solve the problem of hunger for now." Zeke said staring at the dead rabbit.
"Yeah if we had a way to cook it." Lloyd mumbled.
Ace brought out some woods from his inventory, arranged them in a particular spot with his feet still on fire, he used his right leg to burn the woods and a campfire was set.
"Problem solved." Ace said and cancelled his skill.
Zeke took the rabbit and placed it on top of the fire with a stick through it's mouth.
He roasted the rabbit for ten minutes, then used his sword and sliced it and the ate.
"Never imagined I'll ever eat a rabbit. Will life ever be the same" Ace said.
"We never expected to be here. Just a few hours ago, we were fighting like our lives were depending on it and now we're able to things we only hear in stories or see in movies." Lloyd said. "I don't think our lives can ever be the same or go back to being the way it was."
"For once, I agree with Loud Mouth. Life can never be the same, we'll have to learn to adjust and adapt to this new one." Zeke added.
"You guys are right. Things can't go back." Ace said with a smile.
The trio talked about past events. The fights they've been in and so on, until the sun finally went down.
They prepared three Instant Huts, one of each person, before they went in Ace suggested that Lloyd left the Warrior Skeleton out as a guard and the Lumber Skeleton out as a scout to inform them in case any unwanted guest tried to do something funny.
Lloyd did just that and went to sleep, but before he slept he commanded the Lumber Skeleton to inform him if they got attacked.
Later that night, Lloyd felt something hard tapping on his leg rapidly and he hesitantly opened his eyes he saw the Lumber Skeleton trying to wake him up.
"What's wrong. Are we being attacked?" Lloyd asked.
The skeleton nooded in response and Lloyd quickly got up.
"Inform the others." Lloyd said.
The skeleton went out and Lloyd followed from behind. Outside the Warrior Skeleton was fighting against what looked like zombies. About ten dead zombies were on the ground and about fifty still remained
Zeke and Ace came out and saw what was going on.
Lloyd noticed he was feeling slightly tired even though he had been asleep the whole night and that the Warrior Skeleton's Health had dropped to 89% and it's stamina 81%. He looked around the ground to find another sort of weapon to fight with.
He saw a dead zombie holding a stone sword, quickly he rushed over, grabbed the sword and joined the Warrior Skeleton in battle.

The first zombie that came it's way swung it's hands wildly but Lloyd was able to avoid every single swing while also attacking, the sword wasn't that sharp so it took around seven to nine slashes to kill a single one.
Zeke wasn't having too much problem cutting down the zombies as his swords were alot more sharper. With every hit he successfully landed on the zombies he could feel his swordsmanship get better and better.
One zombie tried jumping on him but he moved away to the side and the zombies went past him, from behind beheaded it. Another ran at him at once and he slashed his katanas horizontally.

Two whitish arcs left Zeke's blades and went past the chests of the two zombies, slicing them apart. He finished them off by stabbing both swords into the heads of the zombies.
Ace on the other hand, wasn't having much trouble dealing with the zombies either.

Ace body felt like he was no longer in control as soon as he activated his skill. The flames on his right foot burnt fiercer and brighter.
He lept into the air, spun his body around doing something like a front flip with his right leg out. The moment his foot came in contact with the zombie's head, it split in two killing it.
"Really is an axe." Ace said.
The Warrior Skeleton was the one doing the real killing. It was able to kill four zombies at once without receiving much damage.
After a few minutes they had all successful killed all the zombies. They also levelled up twice, now the three of them were all level three and the Warrior Skeleton was level two.

'My stamina went down alot. Was it because those skeletons where summoned, that's what made me felt tired.' Lloyd thought.
The other looked towards Lloyd's direction and they could see his system window open.
"Why is your stamina so low?" Ace asked.
"I think it's because the summoning skill was active for a long time." Lloyd replied.
"Deactivate the skill, so don't run out of stamina entirely." Ace said.
"Right on it." Lloyd replied.
He deactivated the skill, sat on the ground for a while and he could feel his body feeling less tired. From corner of his eyes he saw that Ace had opened his home screen, taking a small peek he also noticed Ace's stats rose up too.

"My skill changed from Novice to Intermediate. I it means I'm getting better at using a sword." Zeke said happily.
They decided it will be best to take turns in watching since Lloyd told them that leaving his skeletons out for long makes him lose stamina quickly.
The first was Zeke, then Lloyd and Ace. The cycle continued until it was finally morning.
