Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

Without a doubt, Shane needed to unlock his potential.

He then opened the vial and consumed the Geno Solution. The liquid burned as it coursed through his veins, but he gritted his teeth and endured the pain.

He could feel his body changing, his muscles strengthening, and his senses sharpening. The mutations were rapid and intense, but Shane's willpower kept him focused. Thankfully, this wasn't his first time consuming a Geno Solution, so he was able to prepare himself.

Once the transformation was complete, Shane activated the Memory Crystal again, this time to completely access the knowledge of Asura's Mantra.

Soon, the information flowed into his mind… Each technique and principle of the Mantra became clearer. He then spent hours in the chamber, practicing the movements and meditations, honing the new skill he had just learned.

As he trained, Shane's confidence grew. He could feel the power of Asura's Mantra coursing through him… It made his skin seem like a jade, and he felt like he was no longer a human.

However, there were several levels in this Asura's Mantra, and he knew that being at the first level was not enough.

Thankfully, there were plenty of resources left behind here that he could use to improve his body.

For several weeks, the ruins of the spaceship became his training ground, and he pushed himself to the limits. He was determined to master the art and only leave this place once he had reached the fourth or even fifth level of the Mantra.

However, before he could continue, he had to attend an Exclusive Auction for the Survivors… In this place, he was able to buy plenty of food and some better clothes before returning to the ruins of the spaceship.

Weeks then turned into months, and Shane's skills improved exponentially. He was now able to reach the fifth level of the Asura's Mantra.

Right now, he felt that he no longer needed the firearms to deal with these A.I. androids and drones… They once posed a significant threat when meeting them, but at this time, they were mere obstacles in his path.

Finally, Shane ventured out of the ruins, ready to take the fight to the machines to a new level. The memory faded, and Shane found himself back in his room. Then, the notification from the system confirmed that he had just completed the absorption of the Memory Sphere.

"Asura's Mantra. That looked incredible… As long as I have that Geno Solution, I can probably practice that Mantra." Shane muttered as he memorized the Mantra already. The only problem was that he needed the mysterious energy from the Solution…

"Wait… Do I really need that Solution?" Shane mused as he shook his head.

For now, he looked at the notification to see the new Skills he learned.

[ Memory Sphere absorption complete. ]

[ You have obtained Part 14 of 25 Memory Fragments. ]

[ You have learned a Survivor Skill: Phantom Sprint ]

[ Phantom Sprint Lv10 ( Max ): The Survivor can dash swiftly and silently, blending into the shadows to evade detection. This skill allows for rapid movement over short distances, making it ideal for stealthy escapes or surprise attacks.

Effect: Increases movement speed by 50% for 10 seconds and grants a 90% chance to remain undetected by enemies during that time. Cost: 100 Spirit Points ]

"Ohhh… I wonder what will happen if this gets fused with the Armored Dash." Shane muttered to himself as he still had some Fusion Scrolls with him.

In any case, he proceeded to absorb the fifteenth Memory Crystal, which was the continuation of the memories he had with the Elves.

Apparently, he started working together with the Elves and Orcs to fight against the Vampires. Apparently, the Statham didn't just convert humans but also other races to become his thralls or servants…

In the end, they had to fight against Blood Elves, Blood Orcs, Blood Trolls, and others. The setting of the Fairy Realm Invasion had completely changed… However, the fact that the humans were still being killed left and right because of the new enemy.

Nonetheless, most of the memories he absorbed during this time were of his endless battles against the vampires, who were slowly overtaking the world.

[ Memory Sphere absorption complete. ]

[ You have obtained Part 15 of 25 Memory Fragments. ]

[ You have learned a Survivor Skill: Nature's Guise ]

[ You have learned a Survivor Skill: Vortex Spin ]

[ Nature's Guise Lv5: An art of camouflage, allowing the Survivor to blend seamlessly into natural environments. The skill enhances the Survivor's ability to observe without being seen.

Effect: Grants a 70% chance to become undetectable while stationary in natural environments. Grants 20 seconds of being undetectable in natural environments while moving. Cost: 120 Spirit Points. ]

[ Vortex Spin Lv5: The Survivor can execute a spinning maneuver that allows them to quickly change direction while moving.

Effect: Increases evasiveness, allowing the Survivor to dodge incoming attacks. Cost: 80 Spirit Points. ]

The Nature's Guise was a decent skill, but it wasn't too great since he already had Shadowmeld Skill from his items and other skills like Phantasm Rush. It would be better to Fuse this skill with others later on.

It was similar to the Vortex Spin. He already has Momentum Shift that acts almost similarly to the Vortex Spin.

'Well, they'll be fused later.' Shane thought to himself as he checked his status.

On the next day, after Shane and Lysandra bought the items being sold in their Survivor Stores, they finally decided to leave the Ivory Gear Shelter.

Of course, Kang Zhen heard about their plans and immediately arranged an escort for the two. After all, Shane sold a hundred more of his healing tokens and some safety tokens to Kang Zhen, allowing them to have enough healing materials for the next four to five months.

That was already enough for their alchemists to make the potion that they had been researching for a while now.

Shane and Lysandra were already at the gates of the shelter an hour after having their breakfast.

Kang Zhen himself sent off the two after introducing their five escorts.

The five-man squad was led by a man called Captain Wei.

"I've traveled to Long Lodge Shelter three times now… Back and forth. As long as you follow my directions, we will be safe going there. The Zombies that we might encounter were mostly Spitter Zombies and a few Crusher Zombies from time to time… If you want us to continue moving even during the night, then there will be a high chance of encountering Screamer and Hunter Zombies." Captain Wei reminded.

Shane nodded after seeing the man with long black hair.

His experience in navigating dangerous territories had certainly made him an invaluable asset. He also carried a high-powered rifle and a machete… Aside from that, Shane noticed that his left eye was actually a prosthetic eye.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

[ You're being inspected by a low-grade Scanner… ]

[ Scanner has been automatically blocked. ]

Cloud, his A.I. Assistant, reminded.

"You don't have to block it…" Shane whispered though it was already too late.

Unfortunately, the low-grade Scanner of the prosthetic eye was a bit too weak to the point that Cloud didn't really have to put much effort into it.

Captain Wei also noticed that his Scanner wasn't working on him, so he simply smiled and nodded at Shane.

Anyway, the other members of the squad also had various skills that balanced the composition of their team. There was a scout, a medic, a tech specialist, and a weapons expert.

Shane found this group interesting, especially with the existence of Liang, the Tech Specialist, and Bao, the Weapons Expert…

Liang had several devices on him, including a drone and portable shield generators. These generators made him recall his Sentinel Sphere.

As for Bao, he was actually carrying an M134 Minigun! It was a weapon that he didn't expect to appear just like that.

Shane finally realized why this group of escorts was able to travel from shelter to shelter without casualties… They were certainly heavily armed!

Nonetheless, when everything was settled, the group finally left after Kang Zhen left a few words of encouragement.
