Is it Wrong to Copy Abilities in Apocalypse?

Chapter 30: CHAPTER 29 - Jaxon Stone.

(United States, Illinois, Chicago.)

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

That's all you've got?!

Bring me more of them!"

Alex is someone who is always cautious and someone who takes things seriously, even if they don't look like things that require much attention.

So, although Alex is strong enough to kill the goblins, he has the power to protect the people in the dome, but he doesn't like taking risks.

Alex was undoubtedly one of the strongest people on earth, right now.

So, he was strong enough to be able to kill each and every goblin inside the dome. He'll have to use his skills, but he could do it.

With Alex's personality, however, he would save his skills for the situation when he's left with no other choice but to use them.

"Hey! System! Where're you?!

Gimme more of them!"

However, Alex was not the only one who was strong enough to kill more than 10 undead in the first tutorial.

He was not the only one with level 2+ stats.

There were many people out there with that kind of stats.

Not all of them were strong enough to be compared with Alex, but there were still some who could.

One of them was this guy.

"What the hell...

If you can't send more goblins, then just open up this dome!

Let me go out and kill them all!"

A man with a 1.9-meter height and dark-blonde hair with green blood dripping from the pointed edges of the messy hairstyle.

He had slit-like eyes glowing with caramel color.

There was a crazed and arrogant light burning within those eyes.

His face was fair, with sharp features, and a haughty grin was ever-present, tugging his lips upward.

His body was what any boxer or fighter would want to have.

Muscles were bulky, but not too much. He had cuts on his body, but only where they were needed; he wasn't shredded. He had abs as well, but 6 pack abs—not too many.

And well, he was a wrestler, or more like an MMA fighter.

He was the one who sat at the top of the ranking on the day he joined, and he had been sitting there till now until the apocalypse arrived.

However, unlike others, this guy was not despairing; he was enjoying the apocalypse.

This guy, whose name is Jaxon Stone, felt like the apocalypse was here just for him.

Right now, he was staring up in the air, waiting for the system to manifest itself, but it didn't.

"Mister, maybe you should wait for the next tutorial."

But just as Jaxon was about to stomp his feet in frustration, a small girl who was clinging to his back muttered.

The girl seemed to be Asian, with black hair and black eyes.

Her black hair was tied into a ponytail, and her eyes were looking at the surroundings with interest and curiosity.

Yes, interest and curiosity, not fear and concern.

She was just a small girl who looked to be 11 or 12 years old, but she was looking here and there with an intrigued expression.

Not only that, she was clinging to Jaxon's back while her hands were crossed around his neck. However, the fact that the green, gooey blood on Jaxon's hair was dripping on her arms didn't even make her disgusted or repulsed was even more shocking.

Now, why are the surroundings mentioned again and again?

Well, the area around them was filled with the dead bodies of more than 30 goblins.

All of them had their bodies torn into two pieces, their limbs bent at an impossible angle, their heads smashed on the floor with so much force that it turned into a paste, or they had their bodies torn vertically.

It was all blood and gore-filled in the surroundings.

The innards of the goblins were spilled on the ground, and anywhere you stepped, you would find green blood.

However, that was not all….

The green blood was mixed in with the red blood.

Red, human blood.

There were a total of 31 people in this single dome, and out of them, only 24 were left. Seven of them had died under the blades of the goblins.

Jaxon, however, didn't even turn to look at them.

But the girl was observing everything with a curious look on her face.

"Yeah, maybe…"

Jaxon sighed and replied to the girl.

His shoulders slumped in disappointment.

Jaxon wanted to enjoy this a bit longer.

'Why did it end so quickly....?'

Jaxon sighed as he clenched his fists with a frown.

He had felt the rush of power before.

And he was thrilled by it, so much so that he shouted out loud.

'FUCK YEAH!! I CAN GROW STRONGER!'

That was his reaction when he felt the power rushing into his body.

But that was only till he updated his stats.

He desired to experience the same again.

The feeling of getting stronger, the sensation of having his senses expanded.

It was just too good to not get addicted to it.

Jaxon had long forgotten this feeling; he had reached his limit years ago, and just when he thought that life was boring, the apocalypse happened.

'Now, I can grow stronger than before!'

Jaxon's body shivered with excitement.

He had always strived to be the strongest, and although he was the best fighter out there, he still felt that he wasn't the strongest.

Even if he was the strongest, he felt a bit empty about the fact that he had already reached the top.

He just wanted to grow stronger and stronger; he wanted that process to never stop.

"You should just use your coins to upgrade your stats, then!"

The girl, as if reading his mind, exclaimed, trying to cheer him up.

Her cheerful words caused Jaxon to halt on his steps.

His brows frowned.

'Did I tell her that I wanted to grow stronger?'

Jaxon tilted his head, looking at the small girl on his back, but the girl hurriedly avoided his eyes like a child who was caught stealing.

Jaxon raised a brow before...

"Hahahahah…"

He laughed out loud.

"I guess my guts weren't wrong.

You are special."

Jaxon shook his head with a light chuckle before he started walking toward the edge of the dome, moving toward a boulder.

Jaxon didn't just randomly pick up anyone.

Just like Alex, he didn't want to babysit a bunch of random people, so he decided to pick up one person and protect them.

But then his eyes fell on this girl, who didn't look scared even though a goblin was staring right at her.

She was just standing there, with a confused yet curious look on her face.

Just looking at her, who was unlike others, made a single thought appear in his mind.

'She's special.'

Anyone could tell that.

Now, special how?

Either she had some kind of tragic past that left her like that, or...

'She got a very nice skill.'

Jaxon, however, felt that this girl was a bit too special.

He didn't know why he felt that way, but he decided to trust his gut.

And his gut told him that saving this girl would only bring him profit.

Jaxon just walked forward, ignoring the looks he was receiving from the still-alive humans.

What he failed to notice was that the eyes of the little girl shone with a golden flash for a second, but it went away the moment it shone.

No one knew what it was, but maybe it would be revealed in time.

Jaxon was already done with the second tutorial or so it seemed.

But our main character, Alex, had yet to start the massacre of the goblins.

If he wanted to, he could've just done the same thing Jaxson did—picking up someone and protecting them.

But he got a better offer from Garvit.

It was something he could go on with, so he just stared at Garvit for a while before he uttered...

"I have one condition."

He wasn't just going to agree to Garvit's words; he had a condition.
