A weapon to those who want to focus on speed and precision.
SPE + 3, STR + 1
Durability: 10/10
It wasn't a weapon that fits Luke's current style. Still, it was worth having in order to see if different types of swords could have different types of effects with Weapon Augmentation.
Luke charged toward the fire zombies, but before he could get too close to attack, Amanda hit the nearest one in the head with an ice arrow. Much to his surprise, the mouth of the creature froze… once that happened, Luke easily killed it after using Stinger.
Although the enemies were thirty meters away from her, Amanda still hit them in their mouths before Luke could attack them. One of them even died instantly… it seemed that Amanda wasn't just a pretty bookworm.
"Show off…" Luke muttered under his breath.
With their weapons sealed, the fire zombies were even less dangerous than ordinary zombies since they were trying to get rid of the ice on their mouths. Luke easily finished them off.

"She is good…" Shalia said.
"I am surprised she stayed out of our radars," Rina said. "She probably hid when the monsters appeared and only now decided to fight."
"Yes, yes, yes. She is impressive…" Luke said and then sighed.
Unfortunately, those zombies didn't drop anything. So, Luke quickly began to look around for more troublesome enemies. There were some zombies around, but the mutant ones couldn't be found.
Luke ran around to finish off those zombies, and then he returned to his home. Much to his surprise, Amanda and his parents followed him.
"You guys live around here?" Luke asked. "How do you know about my dad anyway?"
"We moved when I entered college," Amanda replied. "Your parents welcomed us and invited us many times… I heard a lot of you from them."
Luke facepalmed. Parents and their bad habits of speaking of their children when they aren't around to protect their little honor. Luke heard his parents talking with others a few times, and he had yet to hear others hearing something good about him since middle school…
"Well, I won't try to say that what you heard were lies," Luke said while looking around the garden for the keys to his home. "Anyway, I will be busy from now on, so if you don't mind."
"Here we go again," Rina said.
"I am sorry, but if you are going to contact someone even when the phone or internet doesn't work, we will stick with you," Amanda said. "I want to know as soon as possible if the army has a plan to deal with all of this. If they don't, I won't wait for the help that won't come."
Luke had certain things to say to people who didn't listen to others. However, since it was something temporary, he decided to let them enter his home. If anything, it would be rude to keep his neighbors outside during such chaos. After finding the keys under a vase, Luke opened the house and found everything the same as before since zombies had no reason to invade that place. His parents left the country two days ago, so everything was clean. Before doing what he came to do, Luke opened the refrigerator and began to drink some soda. He was really thirsty, so he drank half of the bottle in a few instants directly from the bottle.
"Your father mentioned that bad habit," Amanda said.
"Shut up…" Luke said. "You guys should sit down and rest, while standing still, you will only tire yourselves out. With the city in this condition, you need to conserve your strength."
That was also true for Luke, so he checked his status while he was drinking the soda.

Since the heat emanating from the fire zombies was really annoying, Luke increased his resistance. Considering that he was also prone to make mistakes while fighting, he also increased his endurance and focus. Luke felt like he needed to recover his energy even faster, after all. In any case, since she knew what he was doing, Amanda approached.
"You are using that weird screen, right?" Amanda asked. "Do you know what those status points are for?"
"... To make you stronger… you didn't use them?" Luke frowned.
"No, I still have twenty of them to use and my parents have half of that," Amanda replied. "What does each attribute do and how should we distribute it?"
"You never played any games? Most girls these days know what those are for," Luke said.
"I have played many games… like tag," Amanda said while looking away, slightly embarrassed.
"I am sure it is a pretty fun game… if you came from the Stone Age," Luke said.
Amanda looked annoyed at Luke, but in the end, she calmed down when he began to explain everything. It was very simple and obvious, but some people were bound not to know. STR was strength, and that increased health and physical strength, SPE was speed, and it increased reaction and movement speed as well as SP, INT was intelligence and increased MP and probably the power of magic attacks. END also increased health, but it also increased the power to withstand physical attacks. RES was the same. Still, it worked for mana and magic attacks. FOC was focus and increased the regeneration speed. Luke tried to be as simple as possible, but those three still looked at him with eyes full of confusion at the end of the explanation.
Luke explained everything again, while he looked for the box that had the communication device his father mentioned.
