Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

Chapter 150: Peaceful day

Atlan watered the Chronobloom as instructed in the diary. He made sure to only water the stem that connected to the body, and not its clock-like body. They said that the Chronobloom didn't like having its main body wet and would wilt for a day as it sulked.

With everything taken care of, Atlan walked out of the greenhouse and whistled for the Big Vine to take him back to the entrance.

According to the diary, the invasive grass won't grow back for two days, so he didn't have to worry about it spreading throughout the night.

As he soared through the air on top of the big leaf, he soaked in all the death inside the overgrown garden.

[You have reaped the deaths of simple beings] x1230

[Due to your Trait, you have multiplied your rewards by 10]

[You have received 12,300 experience]

Just by spending the whole day in the garden, he was able to accumulate a tremendous amount of experience that would even make the veterans jealous.

Atlan was probably the only Savior in the entire world with a surplus of experience. If there hadn't been any consolidation period, Atlan could have made all of his LifeSkills upgraded into the peak 9th-stage Student realm. He had more experience than he knew what to do with.

This time, he didn't get lucky. He got no LifeSkill fragments or Genus from all the deaths.

It made sense. The probability of gaining those rewards was much lower if he only reaped the deaths. If he actively participated in killing the plants, then he would gain more experience and have a better chance of getting those rewards.

I was just lucky back then that I got so many fragments and genuses…

The Big Vine dropped him off next to the gate and Atlan walked back to his house.

And even though the sun already set and the moon was high up in the air, Atlan barely felt sleepy. And he wasn't the only one who felt that way. Without any access to the Training Hall, most of the Saviors who didn't have any active missions ended up spending their idle time in their homes.

They usually practiced killing Pseudo Canzers every day to keep their blades sharp, so spending days without killing a single one made them feel extremely bored.

Atlan closed his eyes and waited until he fell asleep.

###

The next day, he was greeted with two of his LifeSkills finishing their consolidation period.

[Consolidation period over] x2

[You have successfully advanced your B class Spiked Chitin Spray LifeSkill to the 4th stage of the Student Realm]

[You have successfully advanced your SR class Thermal Vision LifeSkill to the 3rd stage of the Student Realm]

He spent a total of 7000 experience to upgrade both to the next stage.

After taking a shower, he immediately went over to the HeadQuarters and had his morning breakfast in the cafeteria. This was the first time since a few days ago that he'd had a meal. For some reason, he didn't feel hungry at all even when he went through such a harrowing experience in the Pocket Remedium.

Reaping souls gives me nourishment…that's grim.

But Atlan didn't feel guilty at all. It assured him that he'd be able to survive even in the harsh conditions of the Unclaimed Lands with no food or water to see anywhere.

After having his fill, Atlan immediately headed over to the Garden Club.

While walking there, he saw the recruits of clubs having fun during their orientation. There were some fun activities like a friendly wrestling match or a movie marathon right on the grass fields of the HeadQuarters.

Even though it looked interesting, Atlan would rather stay in the garden and soak up as much experience as he could.

Once he was there, he saw another note posted at the gate.

<Sorry! I'm going to be absent today too!>

What is he doing?

Atlan walked inside and whistled for the Big Vine to take him back to the greenhouse. It didn't take long before he arrived there.

Once inside, he was pleased to find out that the Chornobloom didn't die during the night.

He quickly went over to the locker and looked at the notebook.

He flipped over to the latest page and was surprised to see another entry right next to the one he wrote yesterday.

<Hey! I didn't know Geminus recruited another member of the Garden Club. He's finally doing his job as a club president.

He didn't tell you anything about taking care of the Chronobloom, did he? Typical Geminus. When I got the job, he didn't tell me anything and left me to figure it out for myself.

So if you have any questions, you can ask me here.

By the way, it's nice to have someone else interested in keeping plants alive. It's quite rare these days. They would rather use Pseudo Canzers—how disgusting.

Anyway, can I ask why you joined the Garden Club? I joined because it gives me peace to see the flowers and vegetation live happily in the sun without any worries in the world. I wish I was like that :) How about you?>

Atlan read the contents of the diary and felt a connection with his co-caretaker. As a self-proclaimed pacifist, he had a liking for plants because they didn't cause any suffering to other beings. They didn't kill to survive like the humans did.

He would have probably joined the Garden club even if he wasn't incentivized with reaping all the deaths inside.

They replied fast. Did they go to the garden club during the night?

Atlan wrote in the notebook about being a pacifist and liking plants. He felt a kindred spirit with the other caretaker, so he knew that they would understand his inclination towards peace.

After that, he took care of the Chronobloom as instructed in the diary. He made sure to open the blinds and let out an hour of sunlight for the plant, and no more.

Then, he went home and slept. It was a very peaceful day.
