Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

"There it is…" Shane heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the notification confirming the end of the Zombie Wave. It was the same for the members of the Eclipse Revenant, Layla, Elsa, Lily, and other 'Foreign Survivors' in the camp.

Shane then confirmed the notifications first, as he wasn't in a hurry to loot the Giant Leader Zombies.

[ Congratulations! You have successfully survived the Zombie Wave! ]

[ You have earned 2,000 Experience Points. ]

[ You have earned 500 Zombie Cores. ]

[ You have earned 10 Reputation Points ]

[ Additional Rewards are being calculated… ]

[ You have achieved the Top 1 in the Zombie Wave Individual Ranking! ]

[ Hint: Only the Top 10 will receive special rewards, while the rest will receive the standard reward. ]

[ You have earned 100 Reputation Points. ]

[ You have earned 1,000 Zombie Cores. ]

[ You have earned 50 Item Upgrade Crystals. ]

[ You have obtained a Random Exceptional Gift Pack. ]

"Awesome!" Shane couldn't help but smile after seeing the rewards! The most important of them were the Reputation Points, which were the most difficult to gather in his opinion. After all, he could only get them from the Survivor Zombies, Leader Zombies, and some special quest or discoveries.

Nonetheless, the rewards didn't end there as the notifications continued to flood him!

[ Your Clan achieved the Top 1 in the Zombie Wave Clan Ranking! ]

[ Your Clan Level increased to Level 2, and all functions were unlocked. ]

[ Clan Quest has fully unlocked. ]

[ Clan Member Limit has increased to 20 ]

[ All members of the Clan have earned 50 Reputation Points each. ]

[ All members of the Clan have earned 500 Zombie Cores each. ]

[ All members of the Clan have earned 25 Item Upgrade Crystals. ]

[ All members of the Clan have obtained a Random Rare Gift Pack. ]

Raze and the others also received this reward and immediately made them exclaim in happiness!

"Ohh! We did it! I'm also top 9 in the Individual Ranking…" Raze's eyes lit up after seeing the messages from the System.

Unfortunately, only the top 10 could receive special rewards, so the others could only congratulate Raze. Of course, the others already felt happy about the standard reward since they gained a reward for being part of the Top 1 Clan.

Shane also felt incredibly happy as he also received special rewards for completing hidden missions.

[ You have defeated the Zombie Wave by killing less than your subordinates! ]

[ You have cleared the hidden mission. ]

[ You have received a Master Recruitment Stone. ]

[ Hint: The Master Recruitment Stone is a single-use item that a Survivor can trigger in order to recruit a helpful inhabitant of this continent. ]

"I completed another hidden mission, huh…"

[ You have defeated all the Zombies even after fighting against two more hordes of Zombies. ]

[ You have cleared the hidden mission. ]

[ You have received a Master Recruitment Stone. ]

"Two Master Recruitments Stones… Awesome!" Shane couldn't help but celebrate after getting his reward…

"Shane, are you not going to loot them?" Raze suddenly asked as he was checking his rewards.

"Ahh… I'm on it…" Shane said as he hurriedly looted the two Giant Leader Zombies.

[ Do you want to retrieve the loot? ]

"Yes." Shane replied as he waited for the rewards.

[ You have earned 50 Experience Points. ]

[ You have earned 1 Reputation Point. ]

[ Loots obtained: Item Upgrade Crystal x10, Zombie Cores x10, Unknown Meat ( Safe ) x30, Unknown Meat ( Unsafe ) x10, 100mL Giant Leader Zombie Blood, Spirit Enhancement Bottle x1, Vitality Enhancement Bottle x1, Agility Enhancement Bottle x1, Leader Spine Club x1 ]

"That's a lot of meat… I guess that also made sense." Shane muttered as the zombie was indeed too huge, so receiving 30 units of meat should be fine.

Shane didn't take too much time checking the looted items, as he also looted the last Giant Leader Zombie.

Though he obtained similar Exp Points and Reputation Points, there were some differences about his looted items.

[ Loots obtained: Item Upgrade Crystal x10, Zombie Cores x10, Unknown Meat ( Safe ) x40, 100mL Giant Leader Zombie Blood, Vitality Enhancement Bottle x3, Leader Spine Club x1, Corrupted Necrosteel Ingot x5 ]

Now, Shane decided to check the new items in his inventory.

[ Leader Spine Club ( Master ): Crafted from the colossal vertebrae of the Giant Leader Zombie, this massive Club exudes a menacing aura, instilling fear in its target. The Club's jagged spikes and rough textures make it a formidable weapon capable of crushing through bones and flesh with brutal efficiency.

Effects:

+220% damage against all types of Zombies, +40% against non-zombie targets.

+15% Critical Chance, -10% Attack Speed

Increased Knockback Effect on enemies, staggering them with each strike

Special Effects:

Bone Shatter: The Enormous Spine Club is infused with the essence of destruction, causing devastating impact damage that can shatter the bones of zombies on critical hits, rendering them temporarily immobile.

Cost: 100 Spirit Points

Regeneration Surge: When the Enormous Spine Club draws blood from the undead, it triggers a slight regenerative surge that heals the Survivor over time, providing a lifeline in the midst of battle.

Cost: 80 Spirit Points ]

"It's almost perfect… If not for that negative attack speed." Shane muttered as he felt that this Club was just too strong. He might as well change his main weapon to a Club!

After all, he had a Weapon Mastery Skill, and it should allow him to negate the effect of negative attack speed.

Then, Shane proceeded to check the ingots…

[ Corrupted Necrosteel Ingot: Forged from a mysterious source, the Corrupted Necrosteel Ingot is a rare and vicious material tainted by mystical energies. This material is said to be a fusion of necromantic magic and ancient steel, granting it unparalleled strength and mystical properties.

Effects:

When used for weapon crafting, it provides effects related to curses or negative energy.

When used for armor crafting, it grants an increased resistance against corrosion, corruption, and knockback. ]

"An alchemy material, huh… I hope Leo can also do something about this…" Shane mused as he felt really excited for the future.

"Alright, everyone... It had been a long day but you have to clean yourselves before resting... The food has already been prepared, so just clean yourselves now... Mr. Wadsworth confirmed that the river isn't contaminated..." Alexa announced, seeing that the fighters had already rested for a bit.
