End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues

"Roar!"

The fusion zombie let out a painful roar. Its human faces on its body twisting in agony.

The intense pain turned its eyes blood-red and drove it into a frenzy.

It lifted its other arm, attempting to smash Jeremy into pulp with a thunderous swipe.

"Boom!"

Its palm hit the ground, creating a massive sound and leaving a dent in the earth.

However, when it lifted its palm, Jeremy was nowhere to be found underneath.

"You're too slow." came Jeremy's calm voice from behind the fusion zombie.

The faces on the zombie's body showed surprise, and as it turned, its remaining arm swung backward in a fierce motion.

A flash of cold light swiftly passed.

Jeremy's strike severed the fusion zombie's last arm.

A large amount of blood gushed out, dyeing the ground red in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the fusion zombie, now missing both arms, everyone present, as well as those watching from afar, showed shock in their eyes.

Jeremy was incredibly powerful... He had rendered such a terrifying creature powerless.

From a distance, Gary watched the scene unfold with hate and a deep fear in his eyes.

Jeremy's demonstrated strength far exceeded that of a regular player, marking him as a potential formidable force in the post-apocalyptic world.

The thought made Gary's eyes flash with a vicious intent.

No matter what, he had to kill Jeremy early on!

Outside the school building, the once fearsome fusion zombie had been reduced to a stick figure, with only its ordinary arms remaining.

To trigger a hidden mechanism, Jeremy needed to sever these as well.

His eyes calm like still water, Jeremy continued to swing his dagger.

chopping off one arm after another, the number of the fusion zombie's arms was visibly diminishing.

John, engaged in the battle, shuddered at the scene.

It appeared as though Jeremy was torturing the fusion zombie.

Having seen people and animals tortured, this was his first time witnessing a monster being abused.

The thought brought back memories of those pitiful minotaurs, sending a shiver down his spine.

Could Jeremy be a sadist?!

It wasn't long before Jeremy had chopped off all of the fusion zombie's arms, leaving it resembling a meatball.

"Roar!" Overwhelmed by fear, the fusion zombie roared and attempted to flee.

Unfortunately, it was far too slow, unable to even escape in front of Jeremy.

In the end, Jeremy's Swift Slash decapitated the fusion zombie.

[You have killed a lv10 fusion zombie (Lord), earning 5310 experience points!]

As the fusion zombie collapsed with a thud, the kill notification appeared before Jeremy.

Everyone witnessing this was left speechless.

Defeating a Lord-level monster single-handedly?!

This was beyond their comprehension.

Ignoring the stares, Jeremy approached the fusion zombie's severed head and extracted a chicken egg-sized transparent crystal.

[Item]: Energy Crystal

[Grade]: Tier 4

[Description]: Grants 50 random attribute points upon use.

[Tip]: Walking on your hands for 100 meters will grant 50 free attribute points.

"At last get!" Jeremy looked at the energy crystal in his hand, his eyes blazing with excitement.

With this crystal, he could unlock the golden treasure chest. His strength would surely surge once more!

But the battle was far from over. Now was not the time to dwell on it.

Storing the energy crystal in his inventory, Jeremy, holding his fang dagger, charged towards the remaining monsters.

He was less than two thousand experience points away from leveling up, killing about ten more monsters would elevate him to level 10, with such an excellent opportunity to farm monsters right in front of him, Jeremy naturally wouldn't let it pass.

After the fusion zombie was killed, the rest of the monsters were terrified by Jeremy.

Seeing him charge towards them, they showed fear in their eyes, each running faster than the last.

But how could Jeremy let them escape so easily?

He chased the group of monsters for hundreds of meters, relentlessly pursuing them until the golden glow of leveling up enveloped him.

[You have reached level 10, gaining 20 free attribute points!]

[Ding! Profession change officially available!]

[You will not be able to level up further until you have successfully changed professions.]

[You may initiate the profession change at any time.]

Simultaneously, a white magical circle slowly appeared on the back of Jeremy's hand.

Ready to be activated with just a thought.

However, Jeremy didn't plan to change his profession here. He needed a quiet place.

When Jeremy came back to his senses and turned to look behind him, he found everyone staring at him dumbfounded.

"What's with those looks?" Jeremy asked, puzzled.

John and the others swallowed hard and quickly shook their heads, saying, "It's... it's nothing."

The others quickly averted their gaze as well.

Jeremy's performance had been terrifying. After all, chasing and killing a group of monsters single-handedly, an observer might think the monsters were the victims.

"I'll be going now." Jeremy said, shaking his head, ready to return to the school building for the profession change.

Just then, his gaze sharpened. He looked up at the sky.

The sun, for some reason, had turned red again.

This time, however, there was a black pointer and twelve different symbols on the sun, resembling a clock, the black pointer was now on the first symbol.

At the same time, a series of notifications popped up in front of everyone.

[Ding! Congratulations to player "Jeremy" for being the first player to reach level 10 in this apocalypse game!]

[Reward special title: "Pioneer"!]

[The first event of the apocalypse game, "Sun Chaser," officially begins!]

[Event Description: This event lasts for 7 days. During the event, players will earn double experience from killing monsters. After 7 days, the player ranked first on the leaderboard will receive an incredibly generous reward.]

[Sneak Peek: Each event reward will include at least one God-level equipment item.]

[Additionally, the apocalypse game will officially open various features for players, including dungeons, a trading market, cross-server chat, team leveling, and more. We wish you a pleasant gaming experience.]

[Game Planner: Magician]

Jeremy stared at the last notification in silence.

The game planner had changed.

That is to say, the entities behind this apocalyptic game are likely a group rather than an individual.

What exactly do they want to achieve?

Jeremy had no clue.

The only thing he knew was... they were incredibly powerful, even beyond his comprehension.

"These damn people, actually treating this as a game!" John clenched his fists in the crowd, seething with anger.

The others didn't speak, but their expressions were grim as well.

Being treated as mere playthings would sour anyone's mood.

"What do you want to do?" Emma approached Jeremy, her face etched with concern.

Knowing Jeremy, she realized that he wouldn't just sit back passively in such a situation.

"I want to be the first in the Sun Chaser event." Jeremy said calmly.

After all, the Magician had mentioned that each event would include at least one God-level equipment item.

That was exactly what he needed.

Jeremy was well aware that strength was the foundation. Without power, not only would seeking revenge against those who had disrupted his peaceful life be out of the question, but surviving in this apocalypse would also be a challenge.

Emma took Jeremy's hand, smiling. "I believe you can do it."

Though she said this, Jeremy could clearly feel her hand trembling.

She was scared.

Perhaps afraid he might die at the hands of the monsters, or maybe it was the fear of the unknown.

Jeremy squeezed Emma's hand reassuringly. "Don't worry, we'll be fine."

A warm feeling surged in Emma's heart, and she nodded slightly.

Afterwards, Jeremy bid farewell to John and the others, heading back to the school building.

Unable to level up before completing his class change, Jeremy's top priority was now to finish his class change task, even opening the golden treasure chest was temporarily set aside.

With such a significant change in their situation, Bonnie, Emma, and the others were not in the mood to farm monsters and followed Jeremy back to the school building.

Ritchie naturally came along as well.

All the way, Ritchie rambled on non-stop.

He said with a serious expression on his face. "Jeremy, do you think they could be aliens, here to enslave us? I've seen a movie about that before. It was terrifying…"

Hearing Ritchie's wild speculation, Jeremy couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
