Entering Apocalypse in Easy-Mode

Clyde immediately moved and placed the girl behind him.

The ant monster chased them into the alley. It seemed that their attempts at hiding were in vain as the monster saw them enter the alley.

\'Okay then, let\'s see what I can do.\'

Clyde realized that he had a skill called Inspection. So Clyde used it.

Instructions on how to use the Skill were not explained.

No tutorial is given at the beginning. But Clyde had a rough idea about it.

Clyde intended in his mind to use the Skill.

[ Inspection (Lv.3) activated! ]

After that, he could see the stats of the monster in front of him.

<<<Monster Information>>>

[ Name: Black Ant. ]

[ Affiliation: Underground Monster. ]

[ Level: 1 ]

[ Skill: Bite (Lv.2), Slash (Lv.1) ]

[ Stats: Strength (1), Stamina (1), Agility (2), Magic Power (0) ]

[ Weakness: Fire. ]

[ Affinity: - ]

[ Rank: C->D ]

<<==================>>

With Inspection Skill, Clyde could see the stats, weaknesses, and even affinity of the monsters in front of him.

Clyde concluded that the change in the monster\'s rank must be due to the Exclusive Attribute he possessed.

"SKREEE!!!"

The monster lunged at Clyde. Clyde didn\'t run, instead, he lunged back at the monster.

The ant monster opened its clawed jaws to snatch Clyde\'s head. But Clyde\'s hand which had formed a fist was aimed at the monster\'s head.

*BRUAAGGHH!*

The ant monster\'s head was instantly destroyed by Clyde\'s fist.

Black liquid splashed onto his face and shirt.

[ You gain 5 Exp. ]

The girl\'s eyes widened at Clyde. "How did you do that?!"

"Uhh..." Clyde himself was amazed by his strength. "I just hit him."

She was still staring at Clyde with eyes of awe mixed with horror.

Especially when she saw Clyde\'s face which was covered in the liquid from the head of the monster he had just destroyed with a punch.

Clyde took off his glasses. He realized that he could see well without glasses now.

\'Is this also the effect of my stats?\' Clyde wondered.

Then put his glasses in his pocket.

Clyde looked out the alley. People were still being slaughtered by those ant monsters.

Some can defend themselves by running or fighting. Because this monster is relatively weak.

"What will we do now?" Asked the girl.

"Let\'s wait here a moment," Clyde replied. Then he used Inspection on her.

<<Character Information>>

[ Name: Asqa Starr ]

[ Race: Human ]

[ Age: 17 ]

[ Level: 1 ]

[ Exp: 0/100 ]

[ Private Attributes: Witch Doctor. ]

[ Exclusive Skill: Healing (Lv.1). ]

[ Skill point: 0 ]

[ Player Stats: Strength (1/7), Stamina (1/7), Agility (1/7), Magic Power (3/10) ]

[ Stat Point: 0 ]

[ Inventory: - ]

<<==================>>

"You have the ability as a Healer. That\'s quite amazing," said Clyde.

"Is that so? But I don\'t understand." The girl shook her head in confusion.

"The point is, you can heal people. Just like the name implied."

Asqa\'s eyes opened wide with hope. "Is that true?!"

"Yes." Clyde nodded with a smile. "My name is Clyde, by the way."

"I\'m Asqa." Asqa smiled.

Clyde felt a little surprised at the change in Asqa\'s expression.

Saving Asqa is probably a very good decision. She has the ability of a Healer.

Having someone who could heal wounds would come in handy.

In addition, she is also extremely cute. That is a nice additional point.

Clyde looked at his Inventory. He opened the Gold Resource Bag which looked like a bonus pack specially made for him.

Clyde often sees bonus packs like this given specifically to a player as compensation for certain things.

It immediately made Clyde wonder.

Does The Ender - the game developer - have anything to do with this incident?

Everything that was happening to him right now seemed to lead him to that thought.

When he opened the Resource Bag, Clyde\'s eyes widened.

[ - A-grade weapon: Elderglass Sword (Upgradable),

- High-grade Health Potion (x3),

- Medium-grade Mana Potion (x3),

- 10,000 Coins. ]

The Items he got were quite good. This is a \'Gold\' Resource Bag after all. Maybe the highest Resource Bag there is.

He even got an A-grade weapon. Clyde will his mind took the weapon from the Inventory.

Suddenly a sword appeared in his hand. Clyde drew the sword from its scabbard.

The blade of the sword was like ice frozen to form a sword.

Clyde could see right through the blade. It is about one meter long. And It\'s probably five centimeters wide. The sword is very light in his grip.

"Where did that sword come from?" Again, Asqa asked innocently.

"Don\'t worry about that now. We have to go," Clyde said.

As Asqa\'s trust in Clyde had increased, she nodded obediently.

They both came out of the alley running.

From Clyde\'s experience reading web novels, there should be some sort of checkpoint available where they can be safe.

But without any clues, Clyde thought finding Checkpoint would be difficult.

Abruptly, monsters rushed at them from several directions. Asqa screams in fear.

But Clyde immediately slashed his sword at the monsters. With just one slash he could kill them.

Even Clyde didn\'t give off any significant strength.

The stats he had were too strong for this level. Clyde realized that maybe he was the most powerful person in this city right now.

In the middle of the journey, Clyde did not know when exactly but Asqa was holding his hand tightly.

They kept walking but unlike the others who ran in panic and fear, Clyde and Asqa walked like a couple spending the weekend.

"Hey, shouldn\'t we quickly find a hiding place?" Asked Asqa who felt that they were too relaxed.

"What for? There\'s no safe place around here." Clyde stretched out his sword to point around.

The buildings were crawled by giant ants. Several corpses lay on the streets in torn condition.

Asqa sees some people locking the doors tightly and pushing out other people asking for help.

"I didn\'t think they could be that evil. This disaster changes a person," Asqa said as she snuggled close to Clyde\'s body.

She also gripped Clyde\'s hand harder. Either consciously or unconsciously.

Clyde snorted. "This disaster doesn\'t change people. This disaster only reveals their true nature."

Asqa turned her face to look at Clyde. As if shocked by the answer.

But Clyde was only busy slashing his sword at the monsters that kept charging at them.

"Why can you be so strong?" Ask Asqa.

"Well," said Clyde. "I chose Easy Mode."

Clyde answered honestly. However, Asqa did not understand the meaning of that answer. So she chose to remain silent.

Suddenly, while they were walking while Clyde slashing monsters, they saw a red text floating above the subway station.

[ CHECKPOINTS. ]

"Ah, there it is. Come on."

Clyde pulled Asqa towards the subway station and they went inside.

[ YOU HAVE ENTERED THE CHECKPOINT AREA. ]

Asqa turned her head, she saw the monster chasing them turned away, and ran in another direction.

"Are we safe in this place?" Asqa asked with a slightly relieved tone.

Clyde looked at her. "We\'re safe from monsters."

They went down the stairs and saw that there were already a lot of people gathered at this station.

They were people from all categories who finally came together to avoid disaster.

"But there\'s another threat to come," added Clyde.

He knows how human nature is. Especially those who are under pressure.
