Apocalypse After
Next Steps
After some time, the matters in question kicked off waves of ferocious beasts, enemy attacks, and the people inside began to fade with the flow of time.
The seasons change, from winter to spring, and from spring.
Date 11, month 4, year 399 of the black lunar calendar.
Almost four months passed. In this time, quite a lot of things happened in Shelter 13. From the emergence of several new hunters in the spring, to the emergence of several female hunter apprentices.
Meanwhile, Alexander and the few people around him were spending time quietly. They seem to avoid the crowds, do not appear flashy and choose to move in the shadows.
In Alexander's rented house, Daisy and Aster stared at their master with anxious expressions.
“Are you sure you're okay, Mister?” ask Daisy.
“If there is anything we can do, please just say it. We do feel a bit afraid of death, but we are more afraid of losing you, Mr.” Aster said with a panicked expression.
Meanwhile, Alexander sat in his chair. Compared to the appearance of the bright and warm youth before, his appearance was now much different.
The pale white skin was almost like a corpse, the eye bags were a bit blackish, the expression was rather gloomy .. coupled with some blackened muscles, he was like a dying man!
“You don't have to worry about me. It's just redemption, and worth the price.”
After saying that, Alexander got up from his chair then went to the basement. Arriving there, he approached the table then stared at the level 2 evolution potion that was on the table with a gaze full of obsession and longing.
“Finally paid. It only takes one year to raise level 1 to level 2 .. Even if it says it to people, no one will believe it!”
After saying that, Alexander suddenly coughed up some mouthfuls of blood. He sat in his chair and decided to rest.
In about four months time, he had consumed four level 2 evolution potions excluding the one in front of him. The young man had gathered some key ingredients in the previous autumn, and ended up earning enough redemption points from the ferocious beast riots as well as some customers brought in by Aurora.
Although it could collect potions faster, but such a thing was actually not too good to do. To absorb and familiarize themselves, usually people will consume one potion per month even if they have the wealth to collect ten direct potions.
In fact, the potion in question is a normal type of potion.
As for Alexander's, it should take longer to get used to it and absorb everything. However, instead of delaying, the young man instead sped it up. Afraid of not being able to keep up with the speed of collecting potions, he took poison pills crazily. Three times a day, 2 in the morning, 1 in the afternoon, and 2 in the evening.
Torturing himself in a way worse than a madman!
Not only did he absorb more poison pills, but he also practiced several times harder to absorb the effects of his pills faster. If his grandfather and brother saw him doing such a thing, the two would definitely beat Alexander up very badly.
Actually, the family Alexander was in did not do such a thing. They did not use special potions to obtain other special abilities. They think that such a method can make mental distortion and bad results.
Normally, they would train Phoenix Dance to the extreme and choose a variety of suitable miracle roots then absorb them directly. Absolutely no use of additional potions.
Such extreme methods Alexander found in the place where the family hid the forbidden books. There are various dangerous methods of extremes. Some were made by the ancestors by accident and some were looted from their enemies.
To say why the books were not destroyed .. it was because there were also some ways to counteract or at least the idea of ways to counteract them.
Yep. The book was actually used as an educational guide. Let them have a lot of knowledge and not be surprised when facing such an enemy. However, Alexander, that last descendant instead took everything for himself.
“Good. Tonight ... tonight I can take it and break the level two limit!”
Gazing towards the level 2 evolution potion on the table, Alexander's eyes flashed with a cold light and looked terrifying. Although it wasn't until one day, it seemed that he was already impatient!

Her night.
BRUK!
Alexander fell to his knees on the floor while holding his head. The young man felt his brain buzzing, his heart pounding very fast and fast. Blood mixed with blackish stains came out from the seven holes in his head.
‘SAKIT! IT HURTS! B-NGSAT, THIS IS VERY PAINFUL!’
Alexander fell flat on the floor of the basement. Looking at the lantern with a dim and beautiful light, the young man felt his consciousness almost fade away. Just as darkness had appeared in his eyes, his gaze suddenly changed.
The young man felt as if he was kneeling on the muddy ground. In front of his eyes, Alexander could see a huge blaze. The flames were devouring a house and the surrounding forest.
Alexander's hand immediately clenched and hit his own chest hard.
“UHUK! UHUK!”
Alexander instantly opened his eyes and spewed out some mouthfuls of black blood that blocked his esophagus and respiratory tract. Having a ferocious and hideous expression on his face, the young man gritted his teeth without covering up the hatred on his face.
‘KILL! I'M GONNA KILL YOU GUYS! I MUST HAVE ... WILL DEFINITELY KILL YOU ALL!’
Alexander gripped tightly against his chest. His nails scraped the flesh and made it bleed, but he could not feel it. The young man felt something even more painful inside him.
The young man got up. He stared towards the neatly arranged items with dull eyes.
“All materials have been collected. Once created, then just finish the final step of this stage ..”
“Go to the inner forest and grab a decent root miracle.”

Three days later, in a workshop in District 3.
Unlike the potions that could be made at home, the manufacture of weapons required a special place and various equipment. Therefore, Alexander rented one of the forging rooms with his points.
What the young man did was not foreign at all. Many hunters did indeed make their own weapons and equipment. So it was indeed natural, and what he did did did not look flashy.
“Finally done!”
Inside the forging workshop, Alexander sat on the floor with an unstable breath. In these three days, he spent almost a portion of his remaining wealth (other than those used for various potion materials) to purchase materials to make various items. The young man finally upgraded the equipment.
Protective chest, arms, and made from the hard breath of a level 2 insect monster. Leather gloves and shoes are also made from level 2 materials. Although not full-plate armor, but the equipment has indeed been changed very well.
There are also some more important ones. One dagger and one spear of level 2 material. And last ...
Alexander looked towards the two white-colored short swords he had just finished making.
The main weapon, a double sword made of level 3 material!
“Good. This way, everything is ready.”
Alexander sheathed the two swords and wrapped them in a black cloth. After that, then he came out of the forging workshop and returned to his home.
Arriving home, Alexander is greeted by Daisy and Aster as usual.
Seeing her appearance becoming healthier like before, they both felt happy and relieved. Meanwhile, it turned out that the young man had also received a slightly unexpected guest.
“It appears that this profiteer has finished upgrading the equipment. Can still make equipment but not tell his partner, is it still human?”
Hearing Aurora's words, Alexander shrugged his shoulders. Although the woman knew that she could make potions, but still did not know she could make weapons. After all, not many people have various skills, especially crafts.
If asked why Alexander can do so much, the answer is because his grandfather is annoying and his talent in understanding things.
At a young age, Alexander trained in the basics of the sword and began practicing the Phoenix Dance moves. Not having to hunt or do dangerous things, he was asked to learn other things while waiting for him to mature.
At first, only one or two types of skills are trained as side jobs (sub-jobs). However, because Alexander easily understood many things, the man continued to pour various knowledge into the young man's head.
Until finally Alexander who was initially obedient began to often run away and be lazy.
Shaking his head to dispose of some of the memories that had appeared, Alexander asked Aurora.
“Why did you come here? I thought you disconnected contact for not telling me since ten days ago.”
Alexander said that lightly. The reason is simple, it is because ...
Aurora had also broken through the limit of level 2 one week before her!
