Chapter 6: The Mysterious Diary

Looking back on the information, Alva James was not upset about not learning this skill. On the contrary, he's pleased. This is to want the book to be relatively high in demand while studying this skill book helps him to learn this skill still. Also, in the real world, he can find ways to assist in understanding skills.

His next objective is to ensure the demands of the book. After a pause, Alva James added five points to his mind to three points to his physical strength, providing the speed of zombie hunting and getting closer to reading this diary.

At the same time, he needs to find a new sword, and the Kusanagi Sword has to give it back to Steve. Alva James initially thought the sword was part of the reward but did not expect Steve to return it. It seems that his friend Steve had many memories of it. So he had to buy a sword to kill the zombies.

Along the street in the town, Alva James looks for a store that sells equipment products. An older man was standing at the counter, reading some books, looking very meticulous. When he saw someone enter, he looked up:

"Hello, sir. What can I do for you?"

"I want to sell some equipment and buy a handy sword."

"Then please step this way."

Unnecessary items on the table: Miner's hoe, wine-making skills books, mining skills books.

"This item is ubiquitous, and you can exchange 10 yuan."

Alva James, though these items are widespread, is not unexpected. Only the mining skill book in the above items is a little valuable. Agreeing to this price, Alva next chose the sword for herself. Just a handy blade is all he needs, and there are not too many demands.

"I want to buy this sword."

"Your eyes are not bad, and this sword costs 7 yuan."

Alva James doesn't waste time bargaining and doesn't need to buy anything else. He took the sword in his hand, considering some properties of the new blade.

...

Based on Alva James' memory, he returned to his previous cave location after checking the symbols left as usual. Alva continues to enjoy the process of deceiving and beating boring monsters. After cleaning up most of the zombies in the outer area, Alva gradually went inside. The road starts to narrow, and the zombies are a little stronger.

This is a bit unusual, though, because this area is a game zone that makes players experience a few doomsday games. So zombies aren't strong, and even beasts don't exist in this area.

"The deeper you go, the stronger the zombies get. What's wrong with that?"

[Player kills zombies (common-evil unknown) ]

[Player acquired a "crystalline fragment"]

As he predicted, these zombies aren't regular. Especially from the "unknown variation" information, it may be possible that this is not the game's setting. Alva James is more curious about what ended or who made zombies mutate. Also, look at some information from this newly received crystalline fragment.

[Fracture fragment (variable)]

Type: reinforcement item

Properties: Help strengthen human bodies, zombies, and monsters to a small degree (unknown variation effect, probability of some strange changes)

Details: There is already energy affecting the volatile crystal piece, be careful when using it.

Evaluation: Not Evaluation

.....

Indeed, this cave is not as simple as it looks. But first, his immediate challenge is these mutant zombies. The variations that originally appeared should not be too apparent, but the more profound the variation, the clearer it becomes. They get faster, seem to have a little sense, and a hard layer of horn appears on their bodies. This layer of horns is thin, wrapping some parts of their body, making Alva James' killing of zombies partially reduced.

Been killing for hours, but it looks like there are still a lot of zombies ahead. Alva James' body and spirit are at their limit, and there's nothing he can do more than go back to the town area to make his entry. But the more complicated it was, the more curious Alva was about what secrets the mine contained.

"It's a bit of a wait."

"Exporting"

[You're in a safe zone]

[Counting down in three, two, one]

[Registration Successful]

Having lunch and taking a break, Alva James didn't want to return to the game immediately. The real world isn't like a game, and it's not just about getting points. Even if the game lands without proper training mode, the index is likely to drop automatically. He didn't want his training index to be lost, so sad.

His body's up, and his day training's up, and these devices are still enough for him to train for a while. Maybe these devices weren't able to fit him anymore.

His parents didn't come home late at night, and it seems they're preparing to invest in the Endangered Species. Alva James doesn't ask much, however. He believes his parents can make the right choice.

His life continues daily practicing, eating, and sleeping into the cave-cleaning apocalypse game. As time went by, this cave was much larger than he had imagined. Almost every day, he tries to clean up this cave, but no end has been found.

Later, the mutant zombies became more robust, and the layer of zombie horns became harder and harder and harder. The sword he used had to be repaired several times as the cave exploration deepened. He found out that he appreciated it, but he still didn't expect the cave to be this long. He's obtained a lot of "variable crystalline fragments" he's tried to use but hasn't seen any abnormalities. Maybe the quantity isn't good enough?

He's not worried about what a mutant might do to him, and he's just using his body in the game to test what the mutant is. We've been able to do some experiments and see how it affects the human body. After all, his body in the real world had no effect, and he improvised on the character in the game. Preparing a little bit in advance won't take long.

During this time, he spotted a group of people following him. It seems that every day he went up the mountain led to some people's curiosity. And he doesn't want to share this zombie pool with anyone, and he's been working all day to find out the results. He doesn't want the secret in the cave to be taken by anyone else.

Alva James has finally contributed the necessary number of attribute points so he can open that diary. He's got a hunch there's a fight waiting for him in this cave, so he needs to improve his combat skills a little bit. Nine more intelligence points, nine more agility points, and he decides on eight more energy and agility points. The rest of the issues remain if he can go through the danger in the cave, he'll raise the end for his body in the real world.

Taking out the diary, it seems that the journal is quite old. On the cover of the book are pictures of swords. Mr. Andrew must have drawn swords into his diary page. Whicseemms to be good swords. Alva James saw a few blades in his past life with pictures on them.

"September 30, 459."

"I've become the Royal Horseman of Rygon. I've finally achieved my dream."

....

"February 23, 486."

"One day, I'm on duty again. Our mission is to clean up some monsters in the surrounding area."

....

"February 28, 486."

"The forest there is so black. There seems to be something polluting this land. The beast is becoming more aggressive."

" The monster we killed was a little unusual, and his body seemed to have many bites, too. I had a bad feeling about what was going to happen."

....

"March 2, 486."

"A riotous beast happened, and I escaped. The soldiers on my mission seemed frightened. This riot was unusual."

....

"March 27, 486."

"I decided to explore for myself, and I no longer trust this country. The King showed something very different."

...

"I forgot what day it was."

"I've been fighting for days, and they're creatures like humans. But I'm sure they're not human. They're monsters."

....

"I got lost in a cave on the run from monsters. This cave recorded another training method. Was it an ancient fighting practice?"

"I don't understand, but there's a training method I can understand."

"This is a method to speed up body recovery."

....

"Today, the Sultan urged me to return. I have an unexpected feeling."

The diary ends, and at the end of the journal is a breathing method that improves your body's resilience. Perhaps Chief Horseman Andrew kept this diary for Steve, then returned to see the King.
