"Apocalypse, Day 6. My overall level has been upgraded, and I've acquired Booster and Back Dash..."
I was sitting in the monitoring room chair, planning out my day.
Four days ago, my overall level rose to E rank.
Now I can earn 10 training points per day.
I thought there would be low, medium, and high tiers, but it went straight to high.
It's honestly a huge bonus.
"I racked up another 20 training points over three days."
It wasn't easy to create a 10-point lifting routine.
I had to go through some trial and error.
So on days 3 and 4, I earned 10 points over two days.
But by day 5, once I had my routine set, I was able to get 10 points in a single day.
Twenty points in three days-damn...
I had 4 points left from ranking up on day 2,
then earned 20 more over the next three days,
so I had a total of 24 points.
With those 24 points, I put 10 into agility, 10 into power, and 4 into stamina.
So now, both power and agility are at D level.
『Nano Warrior Kim Taesik can now view D-level detailed stat abilities.』
『You can view abilities directly through the [Level Details] button.』
Thanks to raising power and agility to D, I could now see the detailed stats for D level.
"Let's see. Just how strong is D level?"
Click!
I immediately pressed the [Level Details] button.
『Power』
"D" Possesses big three lift strength of 1500KG. Has punching power on par with a top heavyweight pro boxer.
『Agility』
"D" Can dodge punches at the level of a top lightweight pro boxer. Can run 100 meters in 9.5 seconds.
『Endurance』
"D" Can withstand D-level punching power. Endures D-level physical abilities.
『Stamina』
"D" Can fight at full power for 60 minutes.
『Mana』
"D" Gains an additional 200 mana points.
The detailed D-level stat abilities appeared.
"As the point cost increases, the stat boosts are insane."
At E level, power was 900KG for the big three lifts.
But at D level, it's 1500KG.
That's an increase of 600KG.
When I went from F to E, it increased by 250KG.
Compared to that, this jump is massive.
After about four days of training with the status window, I got a feel for it.
Each point increases strength by about 50KG in the big three lifts.
From E to D, it was actually a bit more than 50KG per point.
"Oh... so it's basically George Foreman's punch and Usain Bolt's speed..."
Not just power-the whole D-level concept is impressive.
Each level-up range has its own concept.
F level is elite-athlete level by human standards.
E level is top elite-athlete level.
D-level stats mean maximum human physical ability.
The world record for the big three lifts is about 1400KG.
The 100M world record is 9.6 seconds.
"Hm... yeah... looks like I'll have to do some zombie hunting."
To reach D level, I need 26 more points.
Four days ago, that would have seemed like a lot-just killing 3 or 4 zombies was tough.
But by day 6, I'd accumulated a lot of skills.
My basic physical abilities had skyrocketed.
Now, I can probably level up quickly by hunting zombies directly.
"Given the outside situation, I need to push my growth."
"I can't just rely on training points anymore."
I decided to hunt zombies directly to speed up my level-up.
I had to change my early plan.
On day 4, martial law was declared and the world started to collapse rapidly.
It was much faster than I expected.
Thanks to the goddess, I knew the apocalypse was coming.
But I couldn't have predicted how quickly public order would break down.
The goddess only told me the zombie apocalypse was coming-she didn't say how or how fast the world would fall apart.
"Falling apart in just four days is too much."
My original plan assumed it would take about two weeks for public order to collapse.
Given this world's level of civilization, I thought even that was fast.
And training points were structured to run out in 20–30 days.
So I planned to stay holed up in the bunker for about 15 days, relying on training points.
But the world collapsed in just four days.
Way too fast.
"Yesterday and today, the big supermarkets in Taewang Metropolitan City have been getting looted like crazy."
Even after the apocalypse started, regular people couldn't easily break the rules.
As long as some public order remained, people self-censored.
So until day 3, people didn't dare to go around in groups committing crimes.
But after martial law, people realized public order was gone.
Their shackles were broken.
They started attacking places useful for survival in groups.
[BringItOnApocalypse: Holy shit! Holy shit! I jumped in while they were looting the supermarket and scored about two weeks' worth of food! Thought I was gonna die, fuck!!]
[JusticeSnitch: Reporting these thieves.]
[BringItOnApocalypse: Shut up, idiot. What, you want to starve in the apocalypse? Go ahead and report me, dumbass. The cops don't even respond anymore, LOL.]
Since last night, a lot of posts and videos about this have been going up.
Even with these videos, the government didn't react, so the looting got even worse starting yesterday.
"This isn't some deep mountain valley. At this rate, it'll probably get targeted within two weeks at the latest."
My bunker is about 40 minutes from the edge of Taewang Metropolitan City.
I originally wanted to build it deep in the mountains,
but I gave up because it would be a problem if I had to abandon the bunker and escape.
"The concept of accessibility has pros and cons, but right now the cons are showing up faster."
With high accessibility to the city,
the government collapsing quickly, and the variable of awakened abilities,
these two factors gave me both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage: once my awakened abilities grow, it's easy to go out and farm zombie points.
The disadvantage: the fast-forming looting gangs are more likely to target me.
Of those, the disadvantages seem to be coming true faster than expected.
And if there are awakened people, survivor groups will get even more aggressive.
I can't just rely on training points anymore.
I need to hunt zombies too.
"Grrrrrr...."
"Kieek... Kreek.... Grrrrrr...."
I went up to the 2.5th floor.
"Let's take care of these guys before I go out."
Since this morning, two zombies had approached within 20 meters of the bunker.
I figured I could take them out with the crossbow.
Slick...
Feeling the "General Weapon Skill Mastery" buff, I aimed the crossbow at the head of the zombie closest to the bunker.
-Fwoooosh!-
I fired.
-Thwack!-
The first zombie took an arrow to the head.
-Fwoooosh!-
I immediately fired another shot.
-Thwack!-
The second zombie also took an arrow to the head.
-Clunk! Thud!-
Both zombies collapsed with arrows in their heads.
Click!
I immediately put the 2 points I earned into stamina.
Now my stamina is 『Stamina』 E [06/10].
"They're gathering again, shuffling around. About 20 of them?"
Before coming up to the 2.5th floor, I checked the bunker's surroundings in the monitoring room.
I'm planning to go outside today.
Including the two zombies I just killed, there are about 20 zombies shuffling around the bunker.
They're slowly gathering along the road leading into the bunker grounds.
"Four days ago, when I took out the ones right in front with the crossbow, I saw some shuffling in the distance... Looks like those ones have moved closer."
Usually, when I'm in the bunker, I train,
check the outside situation online,
check out Dohee's body,
respond to Dohee's dirty jokes,
and observe the zombies.
I do it to learn about their traits.
They keep shuffling around.
Sometimes, one breaks away from the group and wanders off.
Those ones sometimes travel pretty far-especially in open areas.
So the straggler zombies are slowly gathering near the bunker.
'I don't know how this trait will affect things later, but for now, it's not a bad thing for me. Actually, it's good.'
Thanks to the stragglers, I decided to keep growing by hunting zombies regularly.
"I just need to keep picking them off. No need to go far."
For now, just taking out the zombies gathering here should be enough.
"Everyone's playing the waiting game-there's no reason for me to stick my neck out first."
At first, I thought awakened people would reveal themselves quickly.
That's how it is in novels and webtoons.
But surprisingly, they don't.
So I tried to put myself in the shoes of an awakened person in the city.
Then I understood why they don't reveal themselves.
Even if you're awakened, if you're still weak, coming out just makes you a target.
Or you'll just get used or rejected.
Early on, awakened abilities are great for killing zombies,
but not strong enough to dominate large groups of people.
"Even with a special hidden class, it's no different at the start."
Looking at the detailed stats, the jump from F to E, and from E to D, is huge.
If I reach B level, I might be able to go on a rampage with just my stats.
But getting there is the problem.
Since my fighting style is close combat, if I get cocky early on, I could end up in more danger than I expect.
So I'm growing, but I'm going to avoid attention as much as possible until I reach a certain level.
If I go around smashing zombie heads in Taewang City, I'll attract a ton of attention.
That would be a disaster.
Not from zombies, but from people.
"I'd become an online star by accident."
The internet is still up,
so I'd become a nationwide star before I'm ready.
Even if everything gets revealed, I need to be strong enough to say, "So what?"
Until then, I'll keep growing by farming training points and picking off the straggler zombies that gather here.
"All set."
Just in case, I put on slightly thicker clothes.
Not super thick, but a bit of thickness and made of pretty durable special material.
It should easily protect against scratches or grazes.
Of course, if I get bitten directly, it'll still go through.
Honestly, with this level of ability, if I get bitten head-on and die, I have no one to blame but myself.
"Dohee, I'm heading out."
I went to the entrance and called out to Dohee, who was walking around the living room.
"Are you going to put the car in the garage?"
That's right.
Today's main mission is actually to put the armored vehicle in the garage.
If people start showing up, the armored vehicle could be at risk.
Plus, according to Dohee, there are important supplies in the armored vehicle-useful for bunker maintenance.
It's a request from Dohee, who gave me my first ever handjob.
Of course, her request is more important than hunting zombies, so I made it my main mission.
"Okay, go ahead."
Slick... slick... slick...
Hmm, Dohee...
As she told me to go, she made a ring with her fingers and waved it at me.
She probably wanted to help me relax before heading into battle.
"Okay, I'm off!"
Shake! Shake! Shake! Shake!
Naturally, I responded in kind-shaking the lower half that had received her amazing service.
Click!
With Dohee's enthusiastic support, I opened the bunker's first gate-
"!!!!!!"
And felt a huge change.
