Plundering in the Apocalypse

Inside the forest where many awakeneds were having trouble fighting against Shell Monkeys. A duo was having fun hunting them.

Shin and Alice, were going through the forest massacring any monsters they could find. Shin was happy at the prospect of earning so much money with these monster parts. On the other hand, Alice was just enjoying her alone time with Shin. That was all she could think about.

Although for different reasons. Both of them were happy. Shin killed 3 more Shell Monkeys.

"And here's another 7,500. Great."

Alice was also participating in between. She also didn't have any trouble fighting them.

Suddenly they heard a roar.

*Roar*

They halted in their steps and looked in the direction the roar came from. Shin activated his Predator's eyes. He saw a red outline of a big monster afar.

"That one seems much bigger than others," Shin muttered.

"Maybe it will go for a higher price than others." Hearing Alice's words Shin's eyes sparkled.

He got excited and urged Alice to follow him.

"Let's go and see."

Alice smiled at Shin's antics. Shin was very happy today.

Shin wasn't able to perceive other awakeneds new that monster with his skill. For predator's eyes. The stronger the opponent is the easier it is to sense them from afar. He could also sense those awakeneds if he focused on searching for them. But his focus was more on monsters and just avoiding awakeneds.

As he went towards the area the roar came from Shin smiled after seeing the monster.

[Shell Ape (Elite)]

[Skills - Iron Claw(D), Steel Armor(D).]

[Nature - Aggressive]

'So that's the boss here.'

"This one is big. How much would it fetch?" Shin asked Alice.

'I hope it's higher than others. It's an Elite after all.'

"Around 30000," Alice said after some thinking. 'It may be higher than that. But that should be the minimum price. I won't go lower than that.'

Shin's eyes widened in excitement.

"Hell yeah."

I have to kill this one. Shin activated Extreme speed and used Gravity control on himself. His body became light. He dashed towards at monster with incredible speed. Others could only see him getting blurred in his place.

He appeared in front of that monster and slashed his sword. While slashing he used Gravity Control to increase the weight of the sword and the force behind that attack.

As a result, the monster was dead. Shin killed the boss monster of the dungeon with a single slash. From that boss monster, others were running for their lives. That dangerous monster was killed in seconds.

After killing that boss monster and collecting the items. Shin's eyes fell on three people nearby standing there in a daze.

Shin looked confused. 'What are they doing there standing?'

'Ah, don't tell me it was their prey, and I killed it.'

'If they are good people I'll leave this matter by giving something to them. But if they try anything forcefully. I won't leave that matter easily.'

'Even though I butted in I was the one who killed it. It's 30,000 Kero. No way I am gonna leave it.'

"Was that your prey? My bad." Shin asked uncertainly.

Hearing Shin's words everyone came out of the trance. Their eyes widened after glancing at Shin again.

'What kind of power was that? Everything happened in a flash. How did he do that?'

Although many questions arose inside their minds. They first need to express their gratitude for saving them. Three of them walked toward Shin.

'Are they going to fight for the materials?' Shin thought as he raised his eyebrows.

'Let's see what can they do.'

But inside of attacking him. They bowed and shouted in unison.

"Thank you. Thank you so much."

'Eh? What?' Shin was confused.

'Aren't they angry that I took their prey?'

"If it weren't for you we all would have died. Thank you so much." Selene said as tears started falling from her eyes. Marine was also crying.

'Ahh, now I get it. They were about to die and I just saved them. I'm such a kind guy.' Shin smiled thinking he did a very good deed today.

He smiled and asked them to lift their heads.

"Please don't worry about it. I did what I should have done. I'm glad you guys are alive."

Shin said with a gentle smile. Alice also came near him at that moment after hearing his words and seeing his charming smile. She was infatuated.

But not only her but some other people were also surprised by his handsome smile.

Alice glanced at Selene and Marine seeing their reaction. As she expected they were looking at Shin. But she controlled herself. This wasn't their fault it was Shin's fault for being too handsome. But she will restrain them if they think too much of it.

Selena and Marine were very surprised by how handsome Shin was. But they shook their head and came out of the trance.

"I'm Selene and this is Marine. This here is Alex." They started introducing each other. Shin just nodded and used his appraisal.

First was the beautiful give with blue hair and eyes. She just stopped crying after thanking him a lot.

[Selene Fred]

[Level - 20]

[Age - 23]

[Special ability - Water Elementalist (A)]

[Trait - Strong-willed, Protective, Thankful, Relieved.]

'Oh wow, she is an A rank and level 20. That's much higher than me.' Shin thought as he turned his gaze at the green-haired girl with emerald color eyes.

[Marine Scott]

[Level - 21]

[Age - 23]

[Special ability - Plant Elementalist (A)]

[Trait - Timid, Courageous, Thankful, Relieved.]

'Controlling plants interesting. Also, she is level 21. I should focus on leveling too.'

After reading Selene and Marine's information. Shin nodded his head. He was surprised that they were both A rank. But he didn't think much of it. He even felt that they were nice people after reading their traits.

Shin shook his head and turned his focus on the bulky guy.

[Alex Wetland]

[Level - 22]

[Age - 26]

[Special ability - Body Defence (C)]

[Trait - Protective, Developing a crush, Thankful, Relieved.]

As he was reading the information. Shin was surprised that Alex was level 22. Highest level of them all here.

'C rank ability. Nice.'

As Shin reads through the traits. His mind froze.

'Developing a crush?' As Selene and Marine were already with him it wouldn't have said developing a crush. He would have had a crush on them already. If it says developing that can only mean.

He thought for a moment and turned his eyes to Alice.

'Alice is a beautiful girl. She also has a nice personality so I won't be surprised if Alex has a crush on her. Like those guys outside who flocked towards Alice getting attracted to her.'

'But why do I feel so hurt and bad whenever I see something like that happen?'

'We are not in a relationship so I shouldn't be like that. We have only known each other for less than a week. I shouldn't have fallen for her right?'

Shin shook his head and dismissed those thoughts. 'Even if Alex has a crush on Alice I can't do anything about it. But only if he is within his limits. Otherwise, I won't let it be.'

"So how did you guys end up in such a situation?" Alice asked getting Selene and Marine's attention.

Hearing Alice's question. They started reminiscing about all the events and the betrayal they got from their teammate.

Hearing their explanation Shin and Alice felt angry at Jack. They also felt pity for them. They had their sympathy.

Alice was looking intently at Selene and Marine checking about any kind of change in their facial expression.

Seeing that those girls didn't look like having any thoughts for Shin. Alice nodded her head in approval.

'These ladies are fine.' She was worried, all this while. She wouldn't want them to fall for Shin. Although she knew it was inevitable. She could only allow them to admire from afar. That's the only compromise she could do.

"Are you guys to keep hunting? Or follow us out of here." Shin asked them as they seemed tired. It would be good if they follow them. It's dangerous for them to stay inside the dungeon while they were so tired.

As for his hunt. He had collected enough materials and these monsters are not useful for his leveling.

'Who would have thought that increasing stats is also a problem now?' Shin sighed and waited for them to answer.

"Please let us follow you guys outside." Selene and Marine readily took Shin's offer. Alice was still cautious of them.

She won't let them get close to Shin. This was all in her mind.

As they started walking they came across some monsters but Shin and Alice took care of them easily.

Selene and Marine were surprised that not only Shin but Alice is also super strong. Of course, they didn't know that Alice was an SSS rank awakened. Or they would have had a heart attack.

While they all were talking. No one noticed but from the start, two eyes never left Shin. They were only focused on him.

It was Alex.
