RE:BORN Zombie

To say the least, the preparations Victor did in order to solo this particular D rank dungeon turned out to be over the top, so much so that he just had to leave the actual work to his legion, as doing it himself would have being overkill and in turn too easy for comfort. ‘Really, if things continue like this, I might turn into those lazy young masters with plenty of strength and no experience.’ Victor said in his mind.

The entire raid ended as soon as it started, and Victor was done with the entire thing in under three hours. He might have done it in less, but as he relegated the process to his legion, it ended up taking some time, and Victor could get a bit of satisfaction from playing the role of a teacher and a master to his legion, not like he got to do much, which in the end led to him not doing much still. Others that came to that dungeon that day couldn’t help but be disheartened as they couldn’t do a single thing in the end. At least Victor allowed them to take the majority of the loot as he left it behind. Good thing they didn’t get to see his legion at work, if not they would have called massive BULLSHIT!

“I can’t even leave this part to you now can I?” Victor said, as he looked at Larry standing before him.

After raiding the dungeon, they returned to their house in the city, and there Victor placed the loot they collected in a space at the backyard. What was to be done was to sell the loot, and they also really needed the money too, but now that wasn’t possible. Victor didn’t want his identity known in the city, not in anyway, as he had an hypothesis he thought could happen, so leaving traces of his presence in the city was not an option. The other option would be to send Larry, but that was also not possible since he would have been proclaimed dead by now, and him walking around would just invite unwanted problems. The only reason why he agreed to meeting with the informant and the other guy who he got the info from was because these two couldn’t exactly approach the authorities.

“Next time, we leave the loot behind, it’s not useful like this.” Victor stated before an idea came to his head. If he could find another person and add them to his legion, then he would have someone who was still ‘alive’ go around for him. That way they would be able to sell their loot legally without any pro… ‘Wait, legally.. Illegally.. There has to be some kind of underground market here for sure, that is something I must find.’

The idea of having someone that could run errands for him openly was a good one still, and Victor really considered it, but as for the loot and stuff like that, it was best for him to leave it for the black market.

Now, he could do the search for a way to the black market himself, but then again he had some money left, and he could just pay for the information, as that would actually be more efficient and safer. ‘The next meeting is in two days, so I can just exercise some patience.’ Victor thought to himself, as he turned his gaze to his system panel in front of him while unsummoning Larry. Victor had collected some notifications while in the dungeon, but he didn’t look at them, but it seemed that his legion had levelled up a bit. ‘Not to mention, something is a bit off about me… I think about that after I check this.’ Strictly speaking, there wasn’t really a way for him to check, as he already for the most part knew what it was._.

Arac: Level : 59

Konda: Level : 62

Gurok: Level : 62

Amadon: Level : 65

Pyro: Level : 66

Larry : 69

Shanok : 81

..

One noticeable thing now was that everyone’s level except for Shanok had become within the same level bracket. Shanok being the most powerful wasn’t only in level, as after Victor evolved him using the evolution material he got from the other lizard men, Shanok gained an interesting ability to use magic and also fight just like physical oriented monsters. To be honest, this was very unexpected, as Victor never saw the evolution affecting him like that. Maybe it was because of the fact that the evolution material he used were gotten from elite lizard men and other lizard men that were orientated towards that aspect? He wasn’t sure, but the development was welcome. Now though, Victor was looking to add a little bit of other reptilians into Shanok as he was a lizard man, he figured there would be compatibility between Shanok and the other creatures not to change his appearance too much towards the weird department.

Evolution Material:

-Fiery Tailed Wolf : 1000

-Zombie : 15,000

-Dungeon Bat : 5000

-Dark Poisonous Spider : 200

-Giant Forest Snake : 200

-White Mountain Tiger : 500

-Grey Lycan : 4000

-Ghost Gecko : 2000

-Mantant : 10,000

-Fire-Imp : 2000

-Red Back Salamander : 30,000

-Poison Frog Colony : 8,000

-Dark Incarpos : 10,000

-Ravenger – 500

-Steel Scaled Lizard : 5,000

– Adamantine Scaled Lizard : 7,000

..

After going through the various available materials, he decided to go with Ghost Gecko, Red Back Salamander and Adamantine Scaled Lizard. From the last dungeon he was in, Victor didn’t even care to get the evolution materials from any of the monsters there, so the ones he had access to were still the ones he had from before. After selecting these materials, he left the rest to the system and ordered for all the materials to be used in the process. After holding on to these evolution materials for so long, Victor saw no to keep hoarding them. Maybe it was because he was from a relatively middle class society that leaned towards the side of low income earners, there was always a need to manage what was available. Stocking up on nylon bags and used materials was a norm, and it was a trait that unfortunately became part of him.

The same with Shanok, the same thing happened with Larry and he acquired some skills, or as known in this world, abilities, after Victor used the human evolution materials he had. Due to the fact that the abilities in this world seemed to be a sort of complete version of the skills Victor could get, he wasn’t really sure if the ones gained by his legion would be the complete version or an aspect of the complete as in his case. But eventually after seeing for himself, Victor realized it was like the case with him. Any ability one of his legion member possessed before being turned into part of his legion would remain there with them, and they would keep the complete version, but apart for those skills, any other one they acquired from the effects of evolution came like Victor’s, incomplete. Apart from the skills, Larry had actually become an Arch Human like the ones he saw before, albeit he must have become an undead one, this Victor could know because of the new perk that came with the increase in the skill level of his Legion of the Dead skill. He could now see the information of his legion, though their stat window was a bit different, actually similar to the format described to him before.
