Level up Zombie

189 A new weapon

In survival games, surely there would be something similar to that of a workbench, an area where one would improve weapons with the materials they had. The thing was, that only worked in games where the developers would put them in certain places around the world.

Was Zain meant to go to a mechanic shop to get his things done, not that it seemed like a ridiculous restriction to put on the system in a real world situation, which was why he was honestly hoping for something a little bit more magical.

At first the system and its powers had stuck to the rules of the world relatively well, all the information and things he could do could be explained by technology or be replicated by a type of technology in the same way. That was until he was able to store zombies in his system and release them at will.

This was something that the current technology or current science of the world was unable to explain, and he believed that the system might act in the same way now. The machetes were placed next to the crystals.

Two large ones, the size of half a cucumber. He placed his hands on the crystals, and placed his hand on the machetes at the same time and the system had reacted, but not in the way he thought.

[Error, not enough stage 2 crystals are currently present for upgrade]

'What… I'm sure the recipe for upgrading the weapons states that I just needed two stage 2 crystals; it didn't even ask for a type.'

Zain quickly brought up the recipe again, and he soon realized his mistake.

'This amount… is to only upgrade one of the weapons. Well, I guess it's good to test this thing out first anyway.' Zain thought.

After taking a look at which machete was in better condition, he decided to place the higher quality one along with the crystals and the system had reacted once more.

[The current materials gathered may be used to upgrade the weapon 'Machete' Would you like to upgrade your weapon?]

It was a simple yes and no, and Zain had of course clicked yes. He could see the crystal lighting up and the sword at the same time. In front of his eyes, both of the items were breaking down into particles. All he could see was small little white parts of the sword and crystal and the two of them were starting to morph together, combining to make a completely different item.

'Without getting quests, I have somewhat hit a plateau. Levelling up is a good way to get me stronger, but I need a lot of exp. The territories will solve that problem but it will take me a while to build up the territories until it's worthwhile.

'My skills with weapons, the sword skill mastery, has been hard to level up after reaching level 4. So this is the answer for a quick boost in strength!'

The light around the item finally started to dim down, and now the outline that Zain could see was just that of a machete. It was slightly larger than before with a slightly bigger curve, but still had the same shape.

Then when the light finally faded a message appeared and he could see his new weapon fully.

[You have successfully created 'Titan Machete]

[Using the raw crystals of the stage 2 evolve zombie, the Titan, a weapon has been created that has a strong durability. The hard outer shell of what protects the Titan has been forged into a blade making it almost indestructible. The edge has been refined and sharpened, and with the Titan's powers has made it so the weapon will never go dull.]

The description of the weapon had Zain smiling, this was something that was impossible for humans to create in a way, and with the challenges he had been facing, it was exactly what he needed.

With the regular machete and his strength increasing, using all his strength to swing the weapon had a risk of breaking it, especially against zombies that had a strong endurance. The only thing now was to test the new weapon out.

[You have successfully created 1/3 variants of the upgraded Machete]

'Wait, 1 of 3? Does that mean there are three different versions of this weapon that could be made.' A thought had hit Zain, 'It stated it turned out like this because of the Titan crystals. If I used other stage 2 crystals, then would the sword turn into something else, and what if I had used a mix of crystals.'

There was a chance that the upgrade wouldn't have worked, or it would have been improved slightly instead of drastically like it had done now. Even the weapon itself looked like it had been forged from the armour of the Titan. It was now a single solid black colour, with only the handle slightly changing, curving a bit more and giving it a better fit in his hand.

'My journey with the others hasn't come to a complete end, perhaps I can use them to gather more crystals for me. This time creating another weapon… it would be nice if I could meet the third type of zombie, creating a weapon with that would be nice.'

While thinking about this, and thinking of the chained zombies on top of where he was about to go, to the Reborn group, Zain had come to a decision, as he opened up his inventory, a bright key was seen in his hand.

[Would you like to use the return key to enter the Melee Weapons Horde Challenge?]

Zain gave it some thought, but now was the right time, to try and reap the benefits, he had improved a lot, and he was hoping to grow into the next step.

[Yes]

[The key has successfully been used]

[You are now entering the Melee Weapons Horde Challenge]
