RE:BORN Zombie

68 First Flight ll

"Nature really plays to your cause if you favour it, huh?" Victor said to himself. 'I'm not sure if that even makes sense, oh well.'

The monster that had appeared wasn't to Victor's liking because of one thing, but apart from that one thing, it was exactly what he was looking for. The monster looked like a humanoid rat without hair on its body that stood at 2.5 metres tall, and had webbed wings on its back for flight.

[Ravenger Level 50]

The monster's level was within range, so Victor had no trouble at all taking it down. Just as it landed on top the building nearby, the ravenger's eyes shown with a dark red light that pointed towards Victor and the hounds that lay motionless on the floor. Without wasting much time, Victor picked up a chunk of rock from the ground and tossed it at the Ravenger. It must have thought that the rock was harmless, as it was only the size of a small stone, but the moment it got close to touching the Ravenger, the rock exploded.

This attack enraged the ravenger, and it flew towards Victor in an instant with intent to kill, as it stretched its hand out to claw him, but Victor easily evaded the attack, and using the monster's momentum against it, he grabbed it's hand and with a bit of guidance showed its face to the hard ground, then he stomped its face with his boot. Unlike when mobs jump another person though, this stomp was not one the ravenger would be living to tell the tale.

Victor without wasting much time got down and sat beside the monster's dead body, and then began eating away and swallowing chunks of flesh as he turned them to evolution material.

[New sample detected. Analyzing sample]

Just then, when the new sample had began analyzing from the initial chunks Victor ingested, another notification popped up before Victor, and it was another thing he had being waiting for.

..

[Evolution process complete]

[Gained new skill Eye of Dreams & Nightmares]

[Gained new skill Perception]

[Received 20 stat points]

[Magic +10, Intelligence +20]

..

Seeing the benefits this time, Victor was satisfied, but when he looked at the intelligence, he couldn't help but feel that he might be slowly turning into a scholar.

The first skill he gained was self explanatory, as it was a sort of mind attack that could induce sleep, and on top of the sleep even play sweet dreams or horrifying nightmares. The second one was what interested Victor the most. The skill's name simply read perception, but from what Victor understood, there were many ways this skill could work, and he was happy to test it. He could only hope for it to work in the same way he thought it would.

..

[Eye of Dreams & Nightmares]

A very powerful attack that puts the target to sleep, and you are able to induce a dream, or a nightmare in them. There is no difference between the world they experience and the real world, to the target, it is the same, and whatever they experience in it is true. It resides in your left eye, and the target has to make eye contact for the skill to activate.

Level: 2

Mana cost: 100

_ _

[Perception]

This skill allows you to have a 360 view of the world around you.

Level: 1

Mana cost: 3/s

Radius: 5m

..

Victor read the description of the skills he had just gotten, and though the perception wasn't what he was hoping it'd be, it was still a very good one. The thing was he already had a very good sense and even without the skill he would still be able to observe the area around him within a 5m radius, and even more.

For the time being, Victor kept the window away and finished the monster in front of him. After he was done with the ravenger, Victor stayed around for a while, as it seemed like the hounds were not coming towards his side anymore, so he left it up to his legion to take care of.

After the system analyzed the sample, Victor entered the evolution panel to do his changing and fusing of forms. As far as he was concerned, this was the first time he was using a feature of the system that seemed like a chimera making simulator. The rest before this might have seemed like evolution in many ways, but this time the entire process was that of customizing a chimera, completely.

He asked the system to take the wings from ravenger and add it to his human form, so that that form would gain the ability to fly. It would be more convenient if he added the wings to his current zombie form, but he wasn't sure yet if he could remove them later. Victor made the effort to confirm from the system, but even then he still didn't want to add the wings to his current form.

It took just mere milliseconds, and instant for him to change forms, so he wasn't worried if something was to attack him and he needed to change forms. This time, the process wasn't long, and after a few minutes, he changed into his human form, and before he did he remembered to take his shirt off. This time, his human form had fully incorporated the wings into the back, and Victor could feel a little bit how it worked. The wings felt like separate limbs attached to his body, but at the same time it felt like he could move them without too much concentration.

There was no way to test his new form than to actually fly, so Victor was going to do just that. To begin with, these were webbed wings, so he couldn't do something like glide, and they worked very different from bird wings.

For starters, bats fly while bounded by inertia as they are unable to fly upwards or downwards, and can only go in a straight line theoretically, so their flight requires more physics than a bird's feathered wings. Understanding this was something Victor needed to do. The problem now was the fact that the wings on his back were not exactly like bat wings and just have some similarities. The wings on his back were not as flexible, so he wasn't too sure how they would perform.

'Maybe I'm just over thinking it.' Victor said in his mind.

Victor spread the wings on his back that spanned almost two and half metres in length of each wing when stretched fully, and tried to fly. He managed to lift off the ground some feet into the air, but that was it. After a point, it just felt like he would fall if he tried to go any further. The flying seemed to be harder than he originally thought, as it was taking a lot from him to just coordinate the wings to enable him lift himself from the ground.

Sure enough, this was a world that was crawling with things that didn't follow common sense. The wings unlike he had thought didn't have most of the issues he thought they would, but he still needed to do some testing.

Next up, Victor climbed upon a building where he would try to jump off of. It was a two story building, and Victor was sure that he would not die if he was to fall from this height, and he had even placed his mark somewhere else just in case, so that he would be able to teleport there.

"This height is enough. After some practicing, maybe then I can go find Ramok's master." Victor said as he looked down from the roof of the building.

It took until morning of steady practicing before Victor was able to fly properly and be coordinated, enough for him to know that he could perform good passable air manoeuvres in case he was attacked by flying monsters.

"This should be enough." Victor said, as the sun started rising from the horizon.

Slowly, the Shadow Ghost Hound were starting to retreat back into the buildings and shadowy area to avoid the sun, but still some were left on the street as the buildings in the area were mostly story buildings, so at that early time in the morning, most parts had plenty of shade so the monsters were not affected.

Victor looked at the information that had been popping up on the system, and he could see that members of his legion had levelled up quite some levels. He brought everyone back and unsummoned them back. Because of the structure of the city, walking around will be way harder than flying, so Victor was happy that he had wigs. The city had more tight streets than it did spacious and wide one. Also, the buildings around were almost all story buildings, so it really gave the tight feeling and one would literally be moving in a maze.

From the top however, Victor could oversee everything, and from there he started his travel towards Ramok's master.
