Chapter 6: Chapter 6: Newest Member
That night Lloyd was on guard, he didn't bother to switch with Ace because the night drained them both physically and mentally.
"Open window." Lloyd said in low voice.

'Finally an offensive skill.' Lloyd thought happily.
For Lloyd it was long night, the same couldn't be said for the others. Ace woke up a few hours before sunrise and Zeke, Zeke showed no signs of waking up.
"Has he woken up yet?" Ace asked.
"No, he hasn't even moved." Lloyd replied. "There has to be a away to speed up his recovery."
Ace remained quiet, he had something he wanted to test out. He opened his system store and browsed through the [Supplies] section looking for anything that would help solve the problem they had.
'Just as I thought, there are also some medical supplies here too.' Ace thought.
He searched for what could help with Zeke's current situation, after some minutes of searching he finally found something that could help.

It was a yellow colored liquid in a small bottle.
"What's that?" Lloyd asked
Ace showed the bottle to Lloyd and explained, "It's a Low Grade Recovery Elixir. It might speed up Zeke's recovery. Got it from the system store."
Ace carefully administered the Low Grade Recovery Elixir to Zeke. They waited anxiously, hoping for signs of improvement in Zeke's condition.
Zeke didn't wake up immediately after taking the elixir. After about thirty minutes. Zeke's eyelids fluttered, and slowly he opened his eyes.
He didn't stand up immediately, he just stared at the dark skies looking at the twinkling stars.
Ace joined Zeke, gazing at the stars, and said, "Sometimes the quiet night sky can offer more answers than words. Take your time, Zeke."
Zeke nodded "Yeah, you're right."
Seeing the two awake Lloyd used the little time they had before sunrise to get some sleep.
Ace knew that Lloyd himself also needed rest, so he was going to let him get as much sleep as he wants before they continue with their journey.
It's wise to prioritize rest for Lloyd to ensure they're ready for the challenges ahead.
Since he had some time, Ace decided to open his inventory to have a look at the new equipment he got.

'That solves my barefoot problem.' Ace smiled.
"Hey Zeke, I think you got something from killing that Titan Zombie. Might wanna check it out." Ace suggested.
"Oh, hope it's something good." Zeke said.
Without wasting any more time, Zeke opened his home screen and was shocked by the improvements he saw in his stats.

Although he was saddened that he lost his swords, he noticed his defense stat was the highest, had alot of coins and one slot in his inventory was occupied.
He opened his inventory and his mood changed. The item that occupied the extra slot was something he never expected.

Zeke's eyes almost ran out from his head, his strength stat was off the charts. Right now he was sure he was the strongest one out of the three in terms of strength.
Also, since his old swords were broken from his last battle he needed new ones, and one was secured remaining the second.
The sun slowly rose, the night was slowly replaced by the day and the creatures of the day were out.
Lloyd was still asleep when Ace and Zeke finished their preparations for the journey ahead. Although wanted Lloyd to sleep more but, who knows what may jump out of anywhere at anytime. With that in mind Ace woke up Lloyd from his sleep.
Zeke, brimming with newfound strength, assessed his stats confidently. As dawn broke, Ace and Zeke, armed with new sword and equipment, completed their preparations, mindful of the unpredictable dangers awaiting them. Despite wanting Lloyd to rest, Ace awoke him, signaling the start of their journey into the waking world.
"Lloyd, rise and shine! We've got a journey ahead, and who knows what surprises await us," Ace exclaimed as he woke up their still-sleeping companion.
Lloyd groggily opened his eyes, blinking in the morning light. "What time is it?" he asked, rubbing his eyes.
Ace smiled, "It's time to see what today brings us."
He stood up hesitantly, saw Zeke also waiting for him. He noticed Zeke had a new sword on his waste. The sword was still in the sheath so didn't really know how the blade looked like. But the exterior of the sheath was black with red designs and the handle was red and also had a black top.
Lloyd thought it was reward he got from defeating the Titan Zombie.
"Nice sword." Lloyd said looking at Zeke.
Zeke nodded appreciatively. "Thanks, Lloyd. It will a loyal companion. Let's hope it stays sharp for whatever lies ahead."
The trio was set for their journey but Lloyd stopped them for some reason. Ace sighed in frustration.
"What is it this time Lloyd." Zeke asked.
"There's something I want to try." Lloyd replied.
Lloyd walked over to where the dead Titan Zombie was, the others didn't know what Lloyd was doing or why he going towards the dead zombie.

Reddish black smoke engulfed the entire body of the zombie and lifted it a few meter into the air.
From the reddish black smoke, a huge red hand came out, then another one came, followed by the body. The reddish smoke disappeared and the zombie fell back on the ground.
"What the hell." Zeke said.
His mouth was wide open, Ace himself had a surprised look on his face and both of them were looking at what was standing behind Lloyd.
It was the Titan Zombie, but it looked different from the one on the ground. The skin was red and no longer pale, black ragged and torn shorts covered it groin area.
"Say hi to the newest member, Tank." Lloyd said looking at his new summoning.
The others didn't say anything, they just stared at the summoned zombie still surprised. Lloyd cancelled his skill and the zombie disappeared.
"Now we can leave." He said.
