《The Strongest Skill: Getting rich while becoming stronger》5. Continuous level up!!

-Continuous Level ups!!-
Kenshin got ready to attempt his second quest.
Killing 100 zombies within five minutes. A few days ago, this was something he wouldn’t even have the courage to think. But now, he had the confidence and the ability to clear the task. A confidence that stemmed from his system as well as the ‘Passive Regeneration’ skill. It was a real game-changer.
During his stay in the hospital, this skill had leveled up two times thanks to the wound he received. Although repeated use makes a skill stronger, it doesn’t apply to passive skills. It was only possible due to his interface... or so he thought. Until now, on all the games he had played, passive skills rarely level-ups.
At level 1, Passive Regeneration was able to restore 2 points of vitality(0.5 HP) and a point of stamina, for every ten seconds. After reaching level 5, it had evolved into a near op skill.
Now he could restore the same amount of stamina and vitality in only five seconds.
1 point of stamina may sound lame, in reality, it was not. For example, earlier, to kill ten zombies, Kenshin had only used 2 points of stamina while taking one minute to kill all those zombies. This means he had used 1 STA every thirty seconds. Virtually he has used no stamina to kill the zombies.
Kenshin’s STA was around 35…
Completing the second quest was possible!! This was what his heart and reason told him after the evaluation of his skill. A grin broke out on his excited face. Having full confidence to achieve his goal, Kenshin charged towards the hoard of zombies.
Using the simplest of the moves, he beheaded the first zombie with a sword swipe.
A notification box appeared;
[You have killed an Lv2 Zombie]
[+15 EXP!]
Zombies were dangerous despite being weak as fuck because they always came in a group. It was like they had taken the phrase ‘unity is strength’ to another level altogether. Killing one immediately alerted another, causing it to grunt and then stumble in his direction.

A few seconds later, it followed in the footsteps of its predecessor and dropped dead!
[+15EXP]
‘Two down 98 to go!’ Kenshin started the countdown.
4 minutes 49 seconds remained!
A sword swipe and two were beheaded. Leaning a little Kenshin formed a sword arc from bottom to top, killing two in the process.
96 zombies remained!
4 minutes 45 seconds remaining!
Kenshin increased the intensity of his attacks. He began using every maneuver he learned throughout his life; kick, hilt-bash, swipe, slash, thrust, he used everything in his arsenal.
Suddenly a zombie crept upon him from his blind spot. Without panicking, he reversed his sword hold and thrust it to his back. It impaled the heart of the zombie, stopping it for a second. Then, taking the advantage, he swirled on his toes, beheading it and a few more around.
Out of all monsters, these low-level zombies were easier to kill. Their strength lied in their large numbers, after all.
As timer reached 3 minutes mark, Kenshin had only managed to kill 54 zombies.
46 zombies remained!
Performing these advanced moves was very taxing on his stamina. He had to take a break several times during these three minutes.
Kenshin smiled wryly. This quest was very tiring, indeed. If it was not for his passive regeneration, then he wouldn’t have reached the current number. Still, the numbers continued to change and now he had only 1 minute 45 seconds left to kill the remaining 46 zombies. He decided to abandon all reservations and go on a killing spree. Holding his sword tightly, he ran towards the hoard of zombies in a reckless abandon. The long sword flashed incessantly as he slaughtered the zombies. Using his only skill to its limit, he used every bit of his experience and fighting potential.... and stamina.
46 seconds!
25 zombies!
20 seconds!
12 zombies!
[Congratulations!!!]
[You have completed the Quest 2 in 4 minutes 51 seconds]

[Obtained 20,000 EXPs and 2 skill points!]
[Your level increased to level 9]
[You have obtained 12 AP!]
Muto Kenshin was thrilled at this level up. It was always a joyous occasion to see his strength growing every day. He hastily opened his system to see the current status.
[Muto Kenhin][Human]
[Level 9][1735 Exps for next level up]
[HP 200/200][MP 21/21]
[ATK: 25; DEF: 20; AGI: 33; PHY: 20; LUK: 9]
[Unassigned Attribute points: 12]
[Unassigned Skill points: 2]
[Lives: 0]
[Skills]
[1. Replication Lv 1][997 Exp to next level up]
[2. Passive Regeneration Lv 5][668 Exp to next level up]
Even his passive regeneration gained some experience and was now close to a level up. He now giddily anticipated his next level up for this passive regeneration.
‘Jackpot!!!!’ just as he was ready to make a victory pose, he suddenly remembered his purpose of coming here.
“Shit! I have forgotten about my main purpose of coming here!!” his unintentional yell was too loud attracting all the zombies on the floor.
Currently, more than 200 zombies were roaming around. When they heard Kenshin’s yell, they immediately made their way towards him while moaning and groaning. But this time, Kenshin was not afraid. He had already leveled up to become a level 9 hunter.
He hurriedly invested his APs; 10 to PHY and the remaining two to ATK.
His new stats have become like this;
[Muto Kenhin][Human]
[Level 9][1735 Exps for next level up]
[HP 300/300][MP 30/30]
[ATK: 27; DEF: 20; AGI: 33; PHY: 30; LUK: 9]
[Unassigned Attribute points: 0]
[Unassigned Skill points: 2]
[Lives: 0]
[Skills]
[1. Replication Lv 1][997 Exp to next level up]
[2. Passive Regeneration Lv 5][668 Exp to next level up]
With this kind of stats, he was more than a little confident about killing these zombies. With the increase in PHY, his stamina also increased. Now his stamina reached 50.
Suddenly a notification popped up, surprising him a little.
[Your STA reached 50 points, which is first among all your sub stats.]
[As a reward you have learned a passive skill, Tireless Body]
[Tireless Body Level 1][1000 Exp to the next level up]
Tireless Body limits the secretion of fatigue toxins in your muscles, making it impossible to tire out in a long drawn fight or activities. At level 1, Tireless Body limits 1% of fatigue toxins’ secretion]
[Your stamina consumption has decreased by 1%]
“Fuck! This is too sick!” Kenshin yelled unintentionally and even cursing like a teenager. The shock was too great for him to maintain his cool. He already had a passive healing skill in his arsenal, and now he got another that limits the stamina consumption. At this rate, he would become a perfect machine that never tires out.
With a 1% reduction in stamina consumption, his efficiency increased 10 fold. A warrior's biggest problem was his stamina consumption. The more complex a move was, the more stamina it consumes. Now that he got a skill which limits this very weakness of the warriors, Kenshin was very happy.
Like a tiger facing a hoard of sheep, he slaughtered the zombies left and right without much difficulty. Within 10 minutes he had cleared the 1st floor of the dungeon.
270 zombies have given him around 4050 EXPs, making him level up once more.
[You have leveled up]
[Congratulations on reaching Level 10!]
[You have now unlocked the system's Store Facility.]
[You have unlocked class system]
[You can choose one of the following classes]
Knight (a fixed increment of STR and DEF) Paladin (generates INT stat, a fixed increase in DEF, STR, and INT) Magic Knight (generates INT stat, a fixed increase of INT and STR and DEF)

8 286The Ms. Megaton Man™ Maxi-Series
When studious Clarissa James began her sophomore year at Arbor State University, she never expected to befriend the former See-Thru Girl, or for megaheroes and megavillains from Megatropolis to turn her quiet college campus upside down.

8 156Eldritch Entity On A Journey Of Self-Discovery
Shold'ler has made a reality before. It was pretty messy, the physics didn't work properly, and his designs were just terrible. This place has flawless physics, a whole set of natural laws, and the most detailed everything he's ever seen. The air moves sometimes (but not all the time), the grass has layers underneath it, and the trees sometimes have things living in them. All things considered... it's depressingly good. What's he supposed to do here?

Stuck on an alien planet called Dust armed with nothing but an ominous tablet, an AI with a death wish, and an odd power with no tutorial, Bec seeks answers for all of her questions both big and small such as: Why am I here? What does this thing called a Word do? And how the %@$# is this tablet telling me about my death? (On Haitus) Cover Art by: KrazeKode
