Dark Space

Vera wanted to be that one and only lily!

She resisted so much pressure and temptation without succumbing to the industry's dark side.

But now, she couldn't resist hunger and had to knock on Michal's door.

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.

Seeing her teary-eyed, Michal frowned and said,

"What's this? Coming to mourn? If you haven't made up your mind, go back and think. Just remember, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Become my woman, and I'll give you food. Otherwise, why should I share my precious supplies with a stranger?"

Vera stopped crying immediately.

"I... I understand. I've thought it through, which is why I knocked on the door. It's just..." Vera choked up.

She was still unwilling to accept it.

After years of struggling in the entertainment industry to become a celebrity, now she had to submit to a low-paid security guard?

The disparity was too much for her to handle all at once.

Michal looked at her beautiful face and enviable figure, especially her unique aura as a celebrity, and couldn't help but lick his lips.

Vera, although a third-tier celebrity, had millions of fans.

Countless men idolized her and would die for a night with her.

Now, this celebrity had voluntarily knocked on his door. Naturally, Michal was excited.

"Stop hesitating and come over. After we're done, I'll give you something to eat. Once you become my woman, food won't be a problem," Michal said confidently.

He had powerful abilities and superior attributes.

In the apocalypse, while he might not be the strongest, he wouldn't lack food.

Moreover, his strength would continue to grow!

Reaching the pinnacle of life was only a matter of time!

"Alright, just... be gentle," Vera bit her lip, finally making up her mind and climbed onto Michal's bed.

Soon, indescribable sounds filled the room.

An hour later.

Michal received a system notification.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully make love. New ability acquired: Dark Space."

"Due to three consecutive days of successful branching out , you have earned the title of Branching Out Expert. All attribute points increased by 30, and all ability levels increased by one!"

Receiving this notification, Michal was ecstatic.

"Not only did I get a new ability, but also the title of Branching Out Expert, which increased my attribute points and ability levels?"

This was amazing!

Michal quickly checked his attributes.

"Name: Michal."

"Age: 18."

"Height: 185 cm."

"Weight: 80 kg."

"Strength: 100."

"Speed: 100."

"Stamina: 100."

"Mental: 100."

"Abilities: 1. Future Simulation, Level 2; 2. Virus Immunity, Level 2; 3. Ice Control, Level 2; 4. Dark Space, Level 2!"

Seeing this attribute panel, Michal was extremely excited.

His basic attributes had reached 100 points, doubling that of an average person!

The increase in strength and speed gave Michal a significant edge in fighting zombies.

Now, his speed was twice that of a normal person. While it usually took 12 seconds to run 100 meters, Michal could do it in just 6 seconds!

This was much faster than the world record!

Not only could zombies not catch him, but even sprinting champions wouldn't be able to keep up!

The increase in strength was even more crucial.

Even without weapons, Michal could punch a zombie and send it flying.

The upgraded abilities were also likely stronger. Michal eagerly checked each one.

"Future Simulation, Level 2: You can simulate the future within two hours, up to four times a day!"

Great, the simulation duration doubled, and the number of attempts increased by one, giving Michal more chances to avoid mistakes.

"Virus Immunity, Level 2: You can resist the virus of Level 2 zombies!"

Michal was puzzled by this. Level 2 zombies? Did zombies level up?

Shaking off these questions, he looked at the third ability.

"Ice Control, Level 2: You can condense water into ice faster and control ice to attack enemies."

Although there was no special effect, the ability to create ice was faster.

Testing it out, Michal found that he could now create ten ice needles instead of five, and the condensation speed was faster.

His "magazine" now had ten bullets.

Moreover, the control range increased to 20 meters!

Michal was thrilled to discover such a powerful upgrade.

"It seems the Ice Control upgrade is the most significant! Doubling the bullet count and attack range! This is a major boost!"

He then turned to the last and newest ability.

"Dark Space, Level 2: Inside your body, you have a cubic space of 20×20×20 meters where you can store and retrieve any items at will."

This skill was incredibly powerful!

Even among abilities, a space ability was top-tier.

Michal quickly tested it with a sausage.

With a mere thought, the sausage disappeared from his hand into the Dark Space.

Another thought, and the sausage reappeared in his hand.

Seeing how strong and convenient this ability was, Michal couldn't help but feel elated.

"This is amazing! With this ability, I won't need a backpack to collect food. I can clean out the entire convenience store in one go!"

Michal never expected an extra reward for three consecutive days of successful branching out.

Was this like a triple kill bonus?

Would there be more rewards for four or five consecutive successes?

What about seven kills, going beyond legendary status?

Thinking about this, Michal got excited.

"It seems the system is encouraging me to branch out more. I should aim for success every day without interruption! To keep scoring consecutive kills, I need to keep finding female survivors."

Michal made up his mind.

Tomorrow, he would go out, not only to clean out the convenience store but also to check if there were any other female survivors in the villa area to bring back.

After all, branching out with female survivors was the fastest way for him to grow stronger!

Michal refocused.

The actress, Vera, lay on the bed with a blank expression.

She had been starving for several days and was now exhausted from Michal's actions. She was nearly on the brink of collapse.

Seeing her in this state, Michal quickly took out a bottle of milk and a piece of bread and handed them to her.

"Eat something. I don't want you dying on my bed."

"Oh, thank you! Thank you!" Vera's eyes lit up at the sight of food, and her previously empty gaze seemed to regain some light.

She grabbed the bread and started eating ravenously.

"Slow down, no one's going to take it from you. And if you stay with me, there will always be plenty of food." Michal found her wolfing down the food quite amusing.
