Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

'Seraph… Did she mean that she was previously serving Kings? Whoa… A Royal Guard? I got an incredible recruit once again…'

Shane then descended from the ramparts to meet this unexpected ally.

"Welcome to our refuge," he said, extending his hand in greeting. "Your skills will be invaluable in the upcoming Zombie Wave."

Lady Seraph took his hand, her grip firm and sure. "I am ready to stand against them…"

Of course, since the Zombie Wave was coming, he immediately asked for her current set of skills. He wanted to know whether to place her in the frontlines or the backlines.

They also have watchtowers, and she might be able to replace the ones who were currently stationed there.

"Sure… I heard from the voice inside the fog that I could show my skills to Foreign Survivors… Let me check…" Seraph muttered as she triggered the system and soon, she showed all of her skills to Shane. Unlike the others who only showed their Level 10 Skills, Seraph didn't mind showing her low level skills to Shane!

"So you can ride a horse like a knight… and you have archery skill! It's perfect!" Shane said in excitement but immediately paused after seeing the last skill. He didn't expect to see a Pottery Skill after seeing those combat skills that she had.

Nonetheless, he doesn't mind the hobby of his subordinate. He even felt that it was a good thing that they had other things they liked aside from fighting.

"You have incredible sword skills, Lady Seraph… However, we already have strong Super Soldiers that could take the frontlines. They will be led by a Warlord and supported by a Monk. They were also Elves who would be assisting every side of the estate. It would be great if you could instead protect Manor by being stationed at its nearby watchtower." Shane explained.

"Mhmm… That's fine by me. I don't have much experience against Zombies, and getting grazed by them could turn me into a Zombie as well." Seraph replied as she looked at the watchtower near the Manor.

From within the mysterious gray fog, Seraph was informed about the danger brought by the Zombies. Being infected by the virus meant certain death since there were still no reliable vaccines that were developed.

In a battle where she could never get injured, scratched, bitten, or possibly even tainted by infected blood, she had to be very careful. Since her first time would be against a horde of Zombies. She knew that she had to consider observing first.

"That's good to hear…" Shane said as he finally had another person who had decent archery skills. Of course, he also planned to give her a pistol she could use in case of emergency.

Then, as Shane was thinking of feeding the Royal Guard first, the notification from the system finally came!
