"Commander Gerald, please hold on. I would like to ask you about something." Lucas hurriedly caught up with the military commander just before he slipped out of the conference room."A group should have arrived with a helicopter on the first day. Do you know where they are now?" Although he already knew the answer, Lucas wanted to confirm something."They seemed to be waiting for someone. The young lady stated that she was waiting for a family member; that should be you?" Commander Gerald's eyes flashed with surprise, momentarily taken aback.He hadn't thought Lucas had a deep background.He remembered the two young women who had arrived by helicopter on the first day. Their bearing alone had suggested they came from a family of considerable wealth and influence.Whatever their family background was, it certainly wasn't ordinary."Somehow," Lucas replied ambiguously.Hearing him confirm it, Commander Gerald couldn't help but give him another thorough look.It couldn't be that Lucas wa

Lucas saw Gabriel glance over. The man raised a brow. "Want to have a go next?""No." Lucas replied without interest.Although they had been a significant increase in his strength after he awakened Lucas recognized the extent of his ability.More like he understand how much of a beast Gabriel was."Come on. It's only training. There's no need to be afraid of losing."Gabriel seemed genuinely interested in sparring with him.Lucas pursed his lips.He couldn't deny that he was curious too.He wanted to find out just how long he could last against Gabriel.During their previous fight, he'd keenly sensed that Gabriel had been holding back."Weapons?""Just hands."Lucas sighed.He was worst at hand combats."Okay." He nodded walking into the unmarked arenaHe took the spot opposite Gabriel and squared up."I wanna be the referee." Zoe pulled Henry over excitedly.The little boy didn't know what was happening but seeing her excitement he also opened his eyes to stare wildly."Okay. You can

Krrrk… glup.The red eyes shone brightly, then the small one darted forward. When it reached the first slime, it crashed right into it, maws splitting open.Gulp.Okay. Although Lucas had asked it to devour, he really didn't think it would actually eat its kind.Isn't it kind of cannibalistic?Oh well.The undead slime bounced back and forth, swallowing everything in its path."Shit, Uncle, is that your ability? It's so cool!" Zoe was the first to notice the strange slime that was attacking its kind.The others also looked over.Gabriel had a thoughtful expression on his face.Meanwhile, Maya was surprised. Her eyes followed the undead slime's nimble movement as it swallowed the other slimes."What type of ability is this?"Lucas didn't bother hiding it. They were teammates, so it was only natural for them to be familiar with each other's abilities. "Necromancy.""Necromancy. Is it the same as in the games where you raise dead creatures?" Jordon studied the undead curiously.Zoe was

As Lucas rummaged through the cabinets overflowing with ingredients, a sense of fulfilment filled his heart.In an apocalyptic world having enough to eat and a roof to sleep under could be considered a luxury.As a previous rich dandy, five years of struggling through the streets taught Lucas a lot.There was flour at home but no oven. If not, Lucas would have really loved to make bread.It was something that he hadn't eaten in a long time, and now he had the ingredient; he was really itching to try it.Since the meal was intended to serve six people, including four adults, it was important to consider that awakened individuals typically eat significantly more than regular people to compensate for their energy expenditure.Lucas poured eight cups of rice in a bowl. He washed the rice and strained it twice until it was clear, then he poured it into a pot.He added a spoonful of oil and a little salt before placing the pot in the cooker.The cooker turned on with a soft beep, and the li

"Hah—I feel so full." Zoe sprawled on the floor, rubbing her stomach."Sit up so the food can digest." Gabriel stacked the dishes on top of each other, then said to her. Walking by, he kicked Lucas, who was also lying down. "You too. Stand up and take a walk around the house."Jordon joined in clearing the plates while Mata washed and dried them in the kitchen.Zoe suddenly sat up and snapped her fingers. "I was thinking. Let's give our team a name.""What kind of name?" Lucas thought it wasn't a bad idea.If they were going to become a guild in the future, then they'd need a name."What about the strong and powerful five?"All heads turned to Jordon. The ex-millitary personnel gave an uncertain, sheepish smile. "Is it not good?""Absolutely not." Zoe was characteristically blunt. "It sounds like what you will find in kids' cartoons.""Feels a bit narcissistic." Maya stuck her head out of the kitchen and added."Oh...then let's think of something else.""If there was still an interne
