Kapitel 11: 11 - Zero People Left to Die

Lucian looked at her straight in the eyes, wondering where this was coming from. He had noticed that she had stayed very close to him, but that was simply on a different level.

'Why the hell is she looking at me like that?'

The look in her eyes seemed… borderline obsessive. Lucian knew he had helped when she had been in a position of need, but that was too much. He hadn't done that much for her.

"Head pats. Do you want me to give you head pats again?"

Ava nodded a couple of times under the palm of Lucian's hand. It was very weird. She almost looked like a dog, wanting to be praised by her master. It wasn't a situation that Lucian had experienced often, and he didn't want to live it again.

"I guess you can kill them…"

Lucian had told her she could do it because she still had zero points for killing Trevor. On the other hand, Bob and Bobby managed to kill an average number of zombies, cumulating their points to a total of 1800 points.

'Olivia used them well. I'll tell you that.'

Olivia, who was weaker than both of them, had a lot more Points than them, which meant that she had ordered them to give the final hit to all those monsters.

'I would have liked to do such a thing, but… I don't think I'm at the stage of asking for favors from Alex. I'm already lucky enough that he decided to listen to me.'

Alex, after all, didn't seem like the easiest person to ask for favors, either. All his answers were short and cold, and Lucian clearly wasn't close enough to him to make such requests as letting him kill some of the zombies he injured.

Lucian dismissed those thoughts as he looked at Ava, approaching Bob and Bobby, who were both in bad shape. Ava removed her wooden wand from the system and waved it around. The moment she waved her wand, one fireball was created over each of her shoulders. Each of the fireballs was launched toward their target, resulting in the death of both Bob and Bobby.

[23 people left to die.]

Lucian glanced at the Death Counter and smiled. Everything would soon be over, meaning they would be sent to the Otherworld.

Lucian had little to no hope that the Otherworld was a safe place. From the way Ariel had talked about it at the start of the Tutorial, it didn't look welcoming, and he couldn't imagine what it would look like if the Tutorial was like this. Also, the fact that they needed to gather points to help them buy stuff for the Otherworld was quite telling of how that world would be.

'Well, if I stick with Alex. I should be able to be protected from most things.'

Lucian unconsciously looked in Alex's direction, and he was still killing people.

'How many points did he get after all this killing?'

Even after everyone had left the Safe Zone, Alex hadn't stopped killing them. He didn't care anymore about the two-second rule Lucian had given. He was just killing everyone that he would see until the Death Counter showed 0 people left to die. That was the only thing he cared about at the moment.

—-----------

[Alex Baker's Status]

[Total Points Accumulated: 129 000]

—-----------

Lucian blinked a couple of times, trying to understand how such a thing was even possible in the first place.

'129 000 Points… This is fucking crazy.'

Lucian wasn't the only one who thought this, as Ariel, the angel overseeing the Tutorial, was in the same state of shock as Lucian.

"Has there ever been someone so powerful in the Tutorial? I wonder how my family and the other powerful ones will react. Luckily, we were overseeing the Tutorial, which allows us to offer him an offer that he won't be able to refuse."

Ariel knew that this person right there would become a powerhouse in not so far away future, and she would make sure the head of her family would learn about this individual before anyone else.

'There's also this girl who seems interesting…'

Ariel was now looking at Ava, who was holding Lucian around his arm as usual. "Her talent in magic seemed quite high from what she was able to pull off earlier. However, the person whom she is holding arms with is strange… For some reason, I don't feel anything special about him. However, he's surrounded by all those powerful people."

Ariel made a small movement with her arm, and the veil hiding her appearance disappeared instantly.

[0 people left to kill.]

"Time for me to make an appearance again."

Ariel flew down from her current spot, surrounded by clouds in the middle of the skies.

A few moments later, she was around the same height as earlier, making her visible for everyone to see.

"Congrats to everyone who survived the Tutorial. I saw some interesting things, and I think many of you will be able to prosper in the Otherworld."

Lucian and everyone else looked up, hearing the angel's voice.

'Seems like it really is over.'

"Most of you are probably wondering what the Otherworld will look like, and I understand. However, I don't have permission to give you guys any information about it. You will learn about it when you arrive there," Ariel muttered. "In the meantime, it's time for everyone here to use the points you gathered during the Tutorial."

Lucian became even more attentive when he heard her talk about their accumulated points.

*Swoosh!*

Suddenly, a blue portal appeared right under Ariel.

"Inside this portal, you will be able to access a special shop that has been specially made for those who survived the Tutorial. You will be able to find all sorts of items that will be very useful for your time in the Otherworld. So, I suggest taking your time before buying random stuff."

A brave person seemed to have a question. "How are we supposed to choose what we need to buy when we haven't even been there yet?"

It was a logical question, and even Lucian had thought of it. However, he didn't want to anger the angel since he knew there was a chance that she might kill him for speaking up. Still, her reaction was different from what he had expected.

"Hmm… not a completely stupid thought. The Otherworld is somewhat similar to what you experience in the Tutorial. However, it's probably five times worse… Well, there's a reason this is only the Tutorial."
