I saw the message in front of me waking me up immediately before another message followed

Looking at the messages my eyes turn open wide as I recheck my status

'Skills,' I commanded subconsciously and

[Skills: Locked]

[Skill tab can be unlocked after reaching level 5]

[Skill points: 2]

'Hmmm… this is… Okay, let's focus on stats,' I thought as I tried concentrating on things I can do and leave other things for later.

'I see time points are unlocked now, but what are they exactly for? I wonder if it has to do something with the skills. About the stats… I think I can make out most of it…

Strength should be my physical power and carrying capacity. My combat power will be based on this one.

Constitution is my life force, which probably includes stamina and endurance as well. The more I have it, the more I should feel energetic with my health going up.

Dexterity is agility, coordination, precision, reflex, etc. This should be useful in quick decision making and also measure my ability to move around under critical or non-critical situations.

Intelligence and wisdom… one of them is related to my actual innate ability to think while the other should be related to time points if I am not wrong. Though, I would actually need to increase it and see which one is which, while also finding their other characteristics.

Charisma should be related to my looks and ability to persuade, lead and other similar stuff. The more I have it the more people will listen to me.

After figuring out what each stat does, I pondered over where I should use my stat points now.

'Since I have two points… let's put them in Constitution and Dexterity each. I will need stamina to move around and agility should help me outrun the zombies,' thinking that I put one point in Dexterity and one in Constitution each.

A refreshing energy filled up my body and I felt like I was in heaven for a few seconds before my body turned back to normal. I felt like my health was much, much better than a few moments ago.

-Bang!

-Bang!

-Bang!

I looked at the door wondering how much longer can the door hold out for and

[4 hours 34 minutes 27 seconds]

A timer came out of nowhere right where the door was. For a few seconds, I wondered if I was hallucinating but as more time passed; I concluded it was real.

'Is this… the skill I received?' I thought as I observed the timer. However, just after a minute passed the timer vanished, making me a bit confused.

'Status.'

I saw my increased stats and also noticed that the Time points have turned to zero.

'So one second of using that ability takes 1 point. Now, how do I get my Time points back?' I thought and before I knew it, another minute passed which resulted in…

[Time points: 1/60]

'So it takes one minute to fill up one time point. I wonder if I could increase the regeneration rate by any means? In any case, what now? I have a skill and my stats are a tad bit better now,' I thought as I saw my quests once again.

The surviving side quest was replaced with another similar one. That is, to survive the horde for another 2 hours with the same reward of +25 Exp.

'If I survive another 4 hours, and complete all the daily quests… I should get about another +60 Stats. Now where to get the other 90 Exp from?' I then pondered really hard about what I should do. Wait a sec!! If I push myself against the door, I wonder if it will increase the time on the timer again?!

Thinking that, I moved up the water heater and pushed myself against the door. I then focused on the door, thinking about how much time until it breaks,

[12 hours 34 minutes 42 seconds]

'That's another… okay, that should be enough to level up once more,' I thought as I closed my eyes before I realized something. I wasn't getting hungry or thirsty… I can somehow understand thirst, but hunger?

'Must be the System's doing,' I thought before nodding and then beginning to walk within the bathroom. The bathroom was small, so I could take only 3 steps before having to turn and then repeating the process.

Despite getting my health better, I still didn't have enough energy to do even 1 push up, so I left that one out.

After continuous walking for about 10-20 minutes…

[Daily Quest: Walk 1000 step(complete)]

[Reward: +5 Exp]

I then positioned myself properly against the door and closed my eyes once again as I silently waited for the time to pass… and not long before I knew it…
