Plundering in the Apocalypse

[The unused skills can be converted into skill points.]

[Do you want to convert skill 'Bite(G)' into skill points?]

[Yes/No]

Shin was surprised for a second. 'This can be converted into skill points.'

Shin checked the manual and the instruction on skill points. They weren't much different from the normal skill points he has been using. It's just not specifically for a skill. With enough skill points, he can increase the rank of any skill.

'This is much better than before.' Shin thought with a smile.

"Yes, covert them," Shin said with anticipation in his eyes.

*Ding!*

[You have obtained 2 Skill points.]

"Okay, so how many do I need to rank up Gravity Manipulation?"

Shin's eyes widened in shock.

[Gravity Manipulation(E) --> (D) = 1500 Skill Points.]

"Haha, maybe I should just continue hunting," Shin said while being downcast.

At that moment he heard screams coming from all directions.

He was soon surrounded by a swarm of kobolds.

"Hehehehe. Good good. I was already very angry. You all came at the perfect time. I need to collect some skill points you see. Don't mind me."

Shin said and hence began his hunting. With the knives floating in the air. Shin made holes in many of them while he unsheathed his long sword and started butchering them.

With a slash, he managed to slice 3 coming from the front.

A kobold sneaked up on him from behind. It was about the land an attack on him but instead of the attack, only his body fell to the ground with a knife sticking in its head.

The knife soon flipped and started floating again with black blood dripping. It again started soaring through the air punching holes in its victims.

The slaughter continued with a human fighting against a herd of monsters. With his every swing black blood splattered. The floating knives covered all his blind spots.

He decapitated many heads.

He had an indifferent expression on his face while he butchered them.

Shin felt his Mana fall below 60%.

But by that time. All those monsters were already dead.

[You have killed 30 Kobolds.]

[You have gained experience.]

[Plunder activated]

[You have absorbed 5 stat points.]

[You have absorbed a new skill 'Bite(G)' X30.]

"Ughh, just covert them. I feel gross. Just what kind of more weird skills are out there."

Shin didn't even want to think about it.

[Do you want to convert skill 'Bite(G)' X30 into skill points?]

[Yes/No]

"Yes," Shin said without much of a change in his expression.

*Ding!*

[You have obtained 60 Skill points.]

"I think I'll soon reach 1500. I need to increase that skill's rank as fast as I can. It's an awesome skill."

Shin continued his hunting by moving to a different area.

The monsters he was hunting were more or less the same.

Soon he heard a familiar sound calling for him.

"I am back Shin."

He turned his head to look at Alice who was waving her hand at him with a smile on her gleaming face.

Shin smiled and nodded.

"You are back. Good, let's start hunting."

"Uh-hm." Alice agreed as she summoned her scythe. She was already in her normal form.

That small session was enough for her to relieve some stress.

Alice was extremely happy being with Shin. Now they can spend some alone time hunting together.

'Shin and I are alone.'

*Grrr*

'Ok, these monsters too.'

'We can finally be alone and enjoy our time together hunting them.'

'I don't want any disturbance now.'

Alice was thinking and in a blissful mood looking at Shin.

But Shin on the other hand felt awkward. This was the first time he felt like this with Alice. Well maybe cause they still don't know much about each other. Shin thought of an idea.

"Alice, Why don't we tell each other about ourselves? We still don't know much. You can ask questions and I'll answer them."

'This way we can get close. I also want to get to know her better. I didn't ask her much considering she has lost her family yesterday. But she seems fine and in the mood to talk.' Thought Shin as he looked at Alice's excited expression.

"Yes~Yes~"

"You are very right. I also want to know more about you Shin." Alice said with an enthusiastic expression.

'Shin wants us to know each other better.'

'Hehehehe'

'I am so happy~'

'What should I ask first?'

'His favorite color. Food. Maybe the type of girl he likes. No, that's probably too straightforward.'

Both of them were killing monsters.

"So Alice tell me about yourself."

Both of them started talking with each other. Telling about their likes and dislikes.

"I also love that anime." Said Shin as he parried a monster's attack.

"Really? I never thought you were into it." Alice replied in excitement as she decapitated a monster.

"You used to go to an all-girls school and you also did a part-time job to help your family."

*Splurge*

*Thud* (Kobold died while they talked.)

Talking about this Shin looked at Alice. Seeing her reaction. She was just listening to him intently.

"You are such a nice and dedicated girl, Alice. I respect you."

*Slash*

*Chop* *Chop* (Monsters being butchered)

Shin said with his utmost sincerity. Hearing Shin compliments her Alice was red in embarrassment.

But her embarrassment faded away as she heard his next words.

*Aaacvkk* ( Monster screamed as the sword cut his body in half)

"I wish I would have even been a little bit like you. I was just a parasite mooching off my parents. I didn't do anything for them. I was always irritated by almost everything. But my parents never gave up on me. I am very thankful. But I always feel guilty about it."

*Agrhhh* (Monster were in havoc screaming. These demon like humans were killing them without even giving any attention.)

(Why are they even here?)

Shin said as he looked a little sad. It was true. He has been thinking about this since the time the world flipped. Talking with Alice was just a way to let out some of his thoughts. But it also helped him express his true self.

'She must be feeling disappointed at me.'

'Ahh, Why did I say all that? I am embarrassed now. I just blabbered everything to her. She is just a little girl.' Shin was thinking he shouldn't have told her such things when they were having such a nice talk and now it's awkward.

But soon he heard Alice's words and widened his eyes as he looked at her. While killing the last monster.
