Luck woke up to a loud ringing sound that reminded him of his school days.
For a moment, he almost thought he just imagined the zombies, the siege, and the new world.
But the System's text glowed bright and intrusive at the edge of his vision.
[Congratulations! You have survived Night 1]
[Survivors 5/5]
[Daily Rewards]
[50 EC - Survivor Allowance]
[10 Party Stats Points]
Luck's eyes widened. "System, what are party stat points?"
The System responded in its usual tone:
[Party Stat Points can be used to increase any main skill of your party members. However, each point spent reduces that person's lifespan by one year.]
"Woohoo!" he hollered, flinging his fist skyward like a victorious superhero.
The whole lifespan dilemma? Pfft, who had time to worry about that when zombies roamed around like grumpy neighbors?
Seriously, who lived long enough to even notice a missing year?
It was all about the power—pure, unfiltered, no-instructions-needed power.
