The Soul System in the Apocalypse

Chapter 17: Introduction to The Apocalypse

On the other hand, at this moment, Adam finally became a rank O Berserker. And at that moment, a red energy appeared around his body. At the same time, he could suddenly feel that his strength had begun dramatically increasing.

When this happened, it got the attention of both Henry and the lady. Henry could immediately understand that this was the awakening of the profession that Adam had selected. As for the lady, she couldn't help but wonder what was going on.

Ever since she begun following the duo, she had seen a lot of things that she couldn't explain. And now, she was actually seeing a person who was covered in a red light.

Adam began feeling excited when he felt the dramatic increase in his strength. At this moment, his blood thirst began increasing. And since he was currently a berserker, the excitement for a fight was overwhelming.

During the past 1 hour, he had managed to kill 73 wolves. Even though it could not be compared to Henry's 138 wolves that he had killed, it was still good enough considering that he was training himself as he continued fighting.

But all the same, the main reason as to why the number had reached 78 was due to the fact that, Henry had always helped him so that he could increase the number of monsters that he killed during the one hour period.

For that reason, the rating he received was S. Even though it could not be compared to Henry's SSS, it was still good enoug for him.

"Control yourself. You shouldn't know that, even if you want to fight, you have to be careful. In case you are confronted by over 20 wolves at the same time, then you Will be done for." Henry reminded from the side before he began picking the mutation crystals.

After hearing Henry's words, Adam finally reined in his urge to go to battle. As he took a deep breath, he looked around at the scattered corpses of the wolves which they had killed.

He went ahead and began searching for mutation crystals in the heads of the wolves. Even though he had been together with Henry for a long period of time now, he too could not understand why Henry was picking the mutation crystals.

Additionally, he didn't even know how Henry actually knew that there was a mutation crystal inside the head of the wolves. Never the less, he decided to do what Henry wanted. After all, recently, Henry had been doing a lot of things that he couldn't explain.

Since he didn't want to think too much about it, he decided to do what he was required to do. At the end of the day, it was not as if he was going to die just by collecting the mutation crystals from the head of a dead wolf.

After they were done with the collecting, Henry turned his attention towards the lady, who had managed to get two mutation crystals.

When she saw that Henry's focus was on her, she immediately stretched her hand that was already covered in blood and handed over the mutation crystals.

Henry took the mutation crystals before he went ahead to collect the bodies of the monsters that she had taken the crystals from.

He then turned around and began walking away. He didn't even appreciate the lady's effort, as he was not the one who had told her to get the mutation crystals. It was not as if he could not do it himself.

"What's your name?" Adam asked as he began following Henry. He couldn't bear having a person whom he didn't even know about following them around.

"I'm Sarah." The lady replied. At the same time, she felt somehow relieved as there was actually someone who was finally willing to talk to her. She didn't feel that good, following around two people who completely ignored her existence.

But even though, she didn't want to give up on following them. They were her only source of safety in this facility that was already encroached by wolves.

She had already begun recovering from her fatigue as she was not doing anything strenuous. But even though, she was still sweating lightly.

"I am Adam, and the guy in front us is Henry. It is better if you don't have any kind of thoughts about him. He is supposed to marry my sister." Adam stated as he continued moving on.

Sarah was surprised by Adam's words. She couldn't help but take a peek of Henry. His back as he walked in front of her looked reliable. Even though his appearance was not that stunning, at least, it wasn't bad.

Added with the fact that he was strong enough to protect her, even Sarah had to admit that she had thought of submitting to him. But, since Henry had completely ignored her existence, then she didn't dare to say a word to him.

As long as he didn't chase her away, even if he completely ignored her, then she was just okay with that.

But even so, she couldn't help but look at the two people in front of her. They were actually having hopes of going back, even untill having the gusto to think about marriage, when they had stayed in the facility for a very long period of time.

She couldn't help but admire their willpower. Had it been not for the fact that she had only recently come into the facility, then she would have definitely given up on the thought of ever going back home.

Henry on the other hand didn't care about Adam talking to the lady behind. At this moment, he had already begun making preparations. They had already gotten a good number of mutation crystals at this moment.

Since he did not have any use for the bodies of the wolves that they had killed, he had already decided to convert them into mutation crystals.

[Current mutation crystals balance is 537.]

"Watch the surroundings for me." Henry stated without looking behind. After that, he began looking at the system store. There were still a lot of things he needed to understand about.

For that reason, when he got into the system store this time, he didn't look for the items, but instead, he looked for information.

The first thing he thought about was definitely the introduction to the apocalypse. This piece of information had been priced at 10 mutation crystals.

With his current balance, this was not something that was considered expensive to him. And since he wanted to understand what the apocalypse was, he decided to purchase it.

Even though it was true that the system had introduced the apocalypse to him, it was not detailed enough. For that reason, he decided to purchase the information, just in case there was anything else missing.

After that, he also purchased the information about what to do in the apocalypse, which cost him five mutation crystals.

As for the last piece of information that he decided to purchase, was definitely about how to gain a stable footing in the apocalypse. He knew that with the lack of order, he had to make sure that he was prepared enough.

And since he was intending to look for his family, he had to ensure that he was capable of protecting them if he found them. This piece of information cost him 300 mutation crystals.

As he saw the number dropped, Henry couldn't help but feel his heart hurting. After all, the mutation crystals he had gained with so much effort was so easily being spent.

[Current balance is 222.]

Henry thought about it for a moment, before deciding to spend 200 mutation crystals to purchase health potions. Of course, these potions were the ones that were aimed at healing the injuries that had been caused by apocalyptic creatures.

With only 222 mutation crystals left, Henry decided to finally look for a place where he could review the information that he had purchased.

The three of them got Into another building that seemed to have been previously used as a warehouse for clothes. After they got inside, both Adam and Sarah began resting.

As for Henry, he began reviewing the information that he had purchased. The first thing was definitely the introduction to the apocalypse.

He felt a huge amount of information appearing in his mind. Since he was already familiar with this, he didn't think much about it and began processing the information.

And, the more information he got about it, the solemn his expression became. He had never expected that the apocalypse was something like this.

The Introduction that he had received from the system stated that, during the apocalypse, it was going to be a time where strength was the king. But, the information that he had received this time was deep.

It stated that, other than this period where the wild animals suddenly became more ferocious, there was actually going to be a period of time where even stronger monsters appeared.

This was due to the fact that, just like humans, the more apocalyptic creatures or humans these wild animals killed, the stronger they became. For that reason, as the apocalypse moved on, then humans were supposed to be prepared to face even stronger opponents.

Wild animals already had an edge over humans. This was due to the fact that they already possessed strong body physiques. For that reason, many humans were bound to die during the first appearance of the wild animals that had gone mad with killing intent.

Apart from that, there was also another piece of information that stated that, all those who were in the apocalypse were supposed to aim for the top. They had to struggle to make sure that they reached the top, to prevent an even bigger calamity from appearing.

Henry took a deep breath as he began processing the information once again. He couldn't believe that the world that was previously considered peaceful, had suddenly turned into a hellhole.

He couldn't help but think about how lucky he was to receive the system. Even though he did not understand what the system was and neither was the system giving him any replies about it, he knew that he had already gotten a big advantage with the abilities of the system.

With that out of the way, he finally decided to look for the next piece of information. What to do in an apocalypse.
