Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

Chapter 304: Alone in the Shelter

After walking around, Shane first saw the farm area that was vibrant, with rows of spices, herbs, fruits, and vegetables thriving under the gentle care of the fairy realm's magic. All of these were also thanks to the seedlings that he obtained through the market and the auction.

Of course, he would have to harvest them all later on. Well, he was actually hoping that he'd be able to plant grains soon, like wheat or even corn.

Anyway, as he looked around, he saw the lake shimmering in the sunlight, showing its crystal clear waters.

Looking further ahead, he could see the trees surrounding his territory as their leaves rustled softly in the breeze.

It was a very peaceful scene when Shane had to remove his clothes and take a bath at the lake.

It was truly refreshing, and he knew that if his stats weren't at maximum already, he would surely increase his stats even a little.

Anyway, after fully enjoying the lake, Shane decided to start with the hatching process of his new Pet Egg.

Shane placed the Pet Egg on a bed of soft grass and took a deep breath.

A holographic interface appeared before him, listing the requirements for the hatching process.

[ Hatching requires Zombie Core x5, Power Core x5, Polymorphium Metal x3 ]

[ You have all of the requirements to complete this action. Do you wish to hatch the Egg? ]

Shane nodded, his heart pounding with excitement. "Yes," he replied.

As soon as he replied, the black egg began to glow, its surface then started pulsing with energy.

Cracks appeared along the shell, and a soft light emanated from within.

Shane and Axis watched in silence as the egg slowly broke apart, revealing the creature inside.

To Shane's surprise, the creature that emerged was not what he had expected.

He thought that it could be a type of bird, which was the most common pet based on the chat.

They were also the ones who were quick to die since there were a lot of Survivors who needed food. If these birds were just flying around, there would be a huge chance that it'll get shot by a gun or pierced by an arrow.

Anyway, the one that had appeared was actually a small, metallic slime!

It slowly oozed out of the shell as if it was still trying to get used to its surroundings.

Its metallic slime glistened in the light as its surface reflected the colors of the surrounding environment.

Axis gasped in delight. "A metal slime! How extraordinary!"

"Oh? Metal Slime?" Shane repeated.

"Yes! Even in Fairy Realm, it's still very rare... You're really lucky that you got this one. Do you have a lucky charm, Lord Shane?" Axis asked as she looked at the Metal Slime with interest.

"I do have one…" Shane replied with a grin as he recalled his luck-related talent.

Shane observed the creature for a while before he reached out to touch the slime.

It felt cool and smooth, almost like liquid metal. The slime quivered, then began to change shape, morphing into a small black egg similar to where it came from before returning to its original form. It seemed as if it was trying to see what it could do to its body.

Anyway, Shane checked its status to see its details.

[ Unnamed Slime

Species: Metal Slime

Description: A shimmering blob of metallic goo, the Metal Slime glimmers with a lustrous sheen, reflecting light like a precious gem. This peculiar pet moves with a fluid motion, leaving a trail of metallic residue that glistens in its wake. Its metallic composition grants it unique properties, absorbing and reflecting energy in intriguing ways.

Abilities: Reflective Aura, Transformative Essence, Metallic Resilience

Growth Requirement: Expose it to metallic environments and engage it in battles against foes with energy-based attacks to aid its development. It can be fed with Zombie Cores. ]

"Great…" Shane nodded as he confirmed that it could be fed with Zombie Cores. It means that making it stronger would be a lot easier.

For now, however, Shane had to give it a name first to register it as his pet.

"From now on… Your name will be Silver!" Shane said while carrying the slime in his arms. The slime seemed to have liked its new name and squirmed for a bit.

[ Soulbound complete. ]

[ You have registered Silver, a Metal Slime, as your pet. ]

After Shane left, Lysandra stood alone in the bustling camp of the Nightfall Nexus Clan…

She had no idea where Shane was as he just disappeared after entering his room, leaving her in this shelter on her own.

In any case, she had barely seen this place last night, so instead of waiting in their room, she decided to look around.

'It's not like this place would get suddenly attacked by Giant Zombies, right? I should be safe until Shane returns.' Lysandra thought as she entered the marketplace once again and saw various stalls.

The shelter was actually like a maze of tents and makeshift structures, filled with the hum of activity and the occasional burst of laughter from various Survivors.

At this time, however, she noticed that there weren't a lot of people. After asking one of the stall vendors, she realized that most of the Survivors had gone out to hunt Zombie. This happens every day until dusk.

Feeling a bit restless, Lysandra decided to visit the pub she had seen earlier. It wasn't because she wanted to drink this early, but because this pub also serves decent food, and she heard that she could gather information there.

The Last Drop Pub was a dimly lit establishment, and its wooden sign was even creaking in the breeze. She pushed open the door and stepped inside.

The scent of stale ale and low-quality smoke greeted her.

The pub was sparsely populated, with a few patrons eating at the bar.

Lysandra approached the counter, but as soon as she did so, her Danger Sense was triggered.
