While Zane had largely stagnated in terms of level, particularly because he required so much XP now that he was better at strengthening himself through means other than consuming blood crystal. Like focusing on leveling up his horde.
Olivia, Elena, Madison, Angelica, and Lily all seemed to be leveling up quite rapidly. After all, the sure volume of blood crystals they received through both trade, and via their entire settlement of awakened survivors working together was enough to truly foster an army.
All the blood crystals gained by Gravestone were pooled together at the end of the week and distributed based upon the needs of the settlement. Because of this, Zane first gave his personal companions a large share, ensuring that all of them reached level 20.
So, there were two chapters released today. It's just that yesterday I accidentally published a chapter on this novel that was meant for another. Because of this, I have gone back and edited the previous chapter so that it is correct for this novel.
So if you're wondering why I am only "publishing" one chapter today, that's why. Again, I do apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused, but every now and then I do manage to find myself being an idiot like that.
