《New Path》Chapter 6 - Preparation
Advertisement
And after that, i remembered that i killed the leader of the rat and he was more powerful than all the evolved beast I killed so far, if not for alex and claire helping i would have died so i checked my status and i saw that i gained fifty energy point,
Name: Chris Specie: Human Talent: In process... Bloodline: Warlord - stage 0/10
Path: beginner [ 20/20]
- [ leader - 1% ]
Energy point: 0 Level 0 - [ 55/100]
so i first finished the beginner path to see what will happen if i finish a path and used the rest of my energy to increase my level and for my bloodline, i don't know how to increase It so i guess i will found about it later. i just looked at my level thinking about what i can gain from it since i can feel that by upgrading the stage of my bloodline i can get stronger, but the level helpful what for, i hope after i level up i will know about it.
i looked at lisa and saw she was also concentrated so maybe she is also trying to figure out what she can get
" hey if it's not too much can you tell me how much energy you get from the fight with the rat"
when i asked her to tell me about her status, at first i was hesitating but at the end get more information about another status can help me more to understand the system and maybe understand more about this new world faster even if asking it to others will be harder.
" why do you want to know about it "
I guess even if it's her she won't show it to me even if our relationship gets better
" i just want to understand more about and see if the status screen of each person is different or if it's the same at least like that i will be able to make some conclusion better than just guessing myself "
hearing my response she just looked at me for a second then come back to looking at her status screen i guess or anything that looks like that.
" Oh it's just about it in my status screen i have just my name, species, bloodline, path, level, and level. Not sure if more will appear later since i asked fred about his status screen too and he get those things like in-game but he told me that he could choose himself what type of stats he wanted to specialize himself looks like those with the help of the system don't get stronger like us even if we both get energy "
At first, i was shocked by where she gets the time to ask fred about it since i didn't take much time to join them at fred house.
" Oh then it means that we all have the same system at least at the start since maybe we can get new function after level up or increase our bloodline"
- " yeah but those with bloodline don't know how to increase their bloodline so unless we find how we will be left behind"
when she said that i could see that she is also excited about the idea of gaining a superpower no like if others don't think about it but with how much the evolved get stronger faster than us it will be hard to get stronger
"I think we should go see how are doing the others or they will start to ask why you took so long to come. "

Saying that i tried to grab her waist to joke but she slapped my hand and said
" you think it's easy to take advantage of me "
she said that while making a face as if she gains something incredible
" ahahahaha i missed this! "
i laughed when i hear that it been a long time since the last time we were joking with fred around, even if i first i didn't want to talk too much with them it's thank to them that i changed a little
- " Yeah me too if fred was here it will be like before "
" ok let's go we need to find the families of some people then we can focus on ourselves it's so exhausting i just want to seat and enjoy the silence, but i guess it will take some time before it could happen "
after saying i stand up from the bed and i remembered i didn't receive any notice for completing the beginner path but just after i felt a wave of energy going through all my body then finished in my brain i could feel some information entering my head about how to survive in nature and sens danger around and it's now that i understand that the feeling i felt about the danger in the city was some sort of capacity from my bloodline for sens energy of other species and at least i could guess the strength of my opponent by feeling their control on the energy and the stage of their bloodline.
But i didn't felt some bloodline from all the evolved beast i fought until now, so i guess maybe they didn't awaken one or they don't have one, i stopped thinking about it because it will not help me now.
" Why are you standing there come on move "
saying that i don't move lisa pushed me a little
' Why is he still not moving did he plan on doing something here nah, i know him maybe he wants to make some joke again seriously he really changed a lot since this apocalypse started'
after thinking about it she was to look why he wasn't still moving but Chris then move again
" sorry something strange happened to me after i completed my path i got information about some capacity of my bloodline "
when she heard that she understand now why he was so weird
" hahh, normally, it's just something about how judge the strength of something or someone john, claire and me got the same feeling after completing our first path seems like we discovered how works the path for those with bloodline just need to see if when we finish another path the same thing will happen again"
- " Ohh it's good then at least i understand why it happens, let's go "
understanding why it happened i just think that
' with how the world is going gaining knowledge from nowhere isn't that strange didn't expect living in an apocalyptic world was so tiring just with the change of our body don't want to guess what it's happening in the world so tiring just to live now i need to be aware of myself haaaaa!! so exhausting really want to sleep'
now i understand why when the apocalypse happens it doesn't take long before the moral and ethique go to garbage when you are already trying hard to stay safe and keep a clear mind you don't have time for care of all the other thing just survive.
When i understood that i was more excited somehow like if i got some answer for being too tired, guess being lazy as some perk 'ahahhaha'.

After that we went to find the others which were in the living room of Philip it's look's like he lives in an apartment not that it strange since we are almost in the center of town living in a house will cost more, but at least there is enough place for all us i saw them eating some noodle and can of food.
Saying me entering the room they all turned their head to me
" hey chris so your finally awake, i used my healing skill on you so you should be fine but you still asleep you scared us you know "
i heard Sarah who was sitting next to a middle-aged woman in her late thirty seems like she is the wife of Philip so i looked around but there were no kids around.
Saying that i was searching for something philip said
" don't worry my kid is ok even if because of all that is happening he is exhausted he is resting in our chamber "
seems like i need to not show too much what i think since even philip can see it others too, looks like even if i changed i am still the same, i sighed to how it was hard to change some habit even with all that is happening around us.
- " don't worry about that it's not like if it's bad to be easy to read at least people will be less vigilant around you with all what is happening peoples are pretty stressed and seeing someone like you might help them to cooperate more easily "
before i know fred was already beside me, hearing what he said i just shook my head and say nothing since it will only be more awkward after.
seeing that i didn't respond to him he just gave me an understanding smile then sit next to john talking about something they restarted eating after seeing i was fine, they were all at the table.
So i took a chair a sit at the corner of the table and listened to what they were talking about, it's was about how to enter the city safely and get more food since if we find more people the food we found won't be enough for all of us.
And they were also talking about the system so i stayed quiet and listened lisa was also next to me listening to with an open can of food eating slowly, making noise with how slow she eat
" can't you be more silent when you eat "
i said to her she knows i hate when someone does this but she makes it express just to have some fun, guess even if she looks calm she is also afraid of what is happening
- " if you don't want to hear me eating then you can move "
she said with a smirk on her lips, i really wanted to punch her but in the end as a gentleman, i decided to just let it past just like said a wise man before ' forget about the opposite sex and you shall find your Dao and ascend heaven', after thinking about that i was in a better move so i just didn't pay attention to her anymore.
When i listened once more to what the others were talking it was about the faction and what they gained from killing an evolved beast
- Sarah: "I think we should find how to buy something from the market otherwise it's a waste with all the good thing we can get since"
Emily: " yeah but even if we find how we first need to enough power to use them didn't you saw that all the object or medicine need to be at least level 5 or we won't be able to use them to their full potential and risking injuring ourselves at the same time "
Edward: " If it's like that why not just found how to buy them, then only buy what would help us since we don't know if we may need it later i am already level 1 and if we stay safe and keep killing only the beast on the outer part of the town then we can maybe have enough strength to enter the center town"
Hearing what said edward even if i don't understand why they can't use the market even if they can saw the product i guess they also need to learn how to use the system too
Alex: " Yeah this time i am ok with edward going to the center of town with how weak we are will only make us kill it better to stay in this neighborhood then tomorrow kill some weak rat or dog because this big art we fought almost killed chris if and those rats weren't even so many if they had more of them we would have all died"
Hector: " i think it's ok to get stronger but we can't stay too long here at least just one day we all the rats we met to come here it should be enough for all of us to get level up at least once or twice by chance if we don't die because of a rat tide"
after saying that hector seemed happy don't know why maybe he starts to change to
John: " ok then tomorrow we go hunting or whatever level up then we search for some food at the same time and after that we can then go in the center of town "
Claire: " sound good at least like we will be able to be more coordinated when fighting because if we don't it will be difficult if we encounter another monster like this big rat "
Philip: " Guys i am ok with this but i can't my wife and son alone i was worried that something happened to them and i don't want it to happen when we are outside"
philip seemed worried about the safety of his families and all the others can also understand it but at the end if he can't get stronger he will only slow down all the others, they were all thinking the same thing but didn't want to tell him that so i was about to say it to him.
We helped him to find his families and now that we need all the people to work together he want to give up but lisa took my hand and shook her head then said to phhilip
" We didn't ask you to go out but think about it after we go out you will be alone no one will be able to help you, and besides we will not go so far so if you still say no then when we finish lel up don't expect us to bring you and your families since you didn't contribute to help us. "
At the first philip wanted to talk back ack but something strange happened then he shut his mouth and agree with her
" ok it's true guys i am sorry i will come too but if we are too far from my apartment i will not follow you "
Sarah: it's ok as long as you don't let us down
sarah said but it seems like she was also angry about what he did even if he didn't say something all people understood that he just wanted to profit in the back while the others fight.
i sighed when i saw that, it's no even so long since it started and he is already weak-minded maybe it's because he cares about his family but in the end, if he doesn't get stronger he will die didn't he saw what is happening. I sighed to how sometimes people can be stupid, after this little problem they started preparing themself i just watched them since they were all without their armor on them i was the only one with it.

Dungeon Crawler Katia
The aliens killed everyone on Earth...almost. Every structure, from the Taj Mahal to the lowliest lobster trap, vanished into the earth, killing everyone inside. The survivors were given a choice: Endure on the surface without food or shelter or tools, or descend into a world-spanning nightmare dungeon that is also a reality TV show. Katia, an art professor from Iceland who has given up her humanity to transform into a shapeshifting doppelganger, meets up with Carl and his cat, Donut. Together, the three fight to survive in a dungeon filled with Clarketech goblin murderdozers and pyramid-scheme fairy moonshine-makers. The above is, of course, describing Dungeon Crawler Carl. With DoctorHepa's (the author) permission I'm posting some fanfic to expand on Katia, one of the secondary characters who started off not getting as much exploration as I would have preferred. I started off writing chapters that matched up to canon except from her POV instead of Carl's; that lasted a couple of chapters before going off the rails and spinning off into a completely new story, which suggests I should really go back and renumber all the chapters as soon as I find some tuits.
