[SWORD SAINT'S BLADE - INCREASE PHYSICAL STATS BY 1 AND INCREASE IT BY 5 IF THE USER HAD A TITLE OF "SWORD SAINT"]
Xavier swung the sword in the air and felt the same sensation when he was buff by Eleanor but now without any restrains from pain and twitching.
"This is good enough since I can't use my level up rewards for items." Xavier had no sheath for the silver blade to stuff on since it was left with the old man earlier. He can't also stuff the sword inside his own sheath since it doesn't fit as the current sword is as long as 1 meter the blade alone.
"The old man would not stalk us since he had his own problems right now, let's take the time to focus on getting home for now and avoid farming, we'll just clear out the path and plan in the room." Xavier sheathed her sword and walked in the alley, Xavier followed him in the path.
…
luckily and Unluckily, they haven't met any monsters again as well as other players since the apartment was just a block far away from the road at the edge of the small forest earlier thus they arrived quickly without problems.
The apartment building is three stories high with 5 home each the size of a normal urban house (35-50m each side). The building was lucky enough to not got caught in the mess outside as it was mainly surrounded by much lesser floor buildings like normal houses or a grocery store.
"That convenient store seems stacked with people, we'll need to go to other place to stock on supplies." Xavier remarked as they enter the building. Right now, the convenient store in front of the apartment building was packed with people, atleast 10 or 15 that are frantically stealing what's left inside.
Inside the apartment, there were other survivors that didn't live there and even with the threat of the landlord, they would not budge as they're scared of the monsters outside. The 'homeless' kept getting small in numbers as the two made their way at the 3rd floor with the final number at 3 that is visible since the apartment's hall is just straight with doors placed simultaneously to each other.
And you're right, the two live together in the edge of the hallway in the room 305. Inside the room is just normal day furniture. After the door is was as small compartments for shoes and umbrellas and such. At the left is the bathroom, front is the hallway that connects the kitchen at front with the rest room opposite of that.
From the kitchen, at the right is the entrance hallway and at the right is the bedroom for the two (And yes, they slept together) at the side of the door is a small closet. And inside the bedroom is the double sized bed placed in the corner front the door and front the left side of the door is a small study.
There is also an open balcony at the front of the room that highlights the sun that is about to set and the chaos outside, burning building and even large winged 'wyverns' flying in the air with bus and similar vehicles clawed to their feet.
"Transportation by vehicles is dangerous since there are also flying monsters let alone a large bulky minitour that we might encounter in the road." Xavier said as he locked himself looking outside the balcony window.
Noire on the other hand, slumped herself in the bed out of tiredness. AS of now, her skin was turned pale because of lack of blood but she manages to survive thanks probably to her class or hidden passive.
"I need lot... I mean lots and lots of red meat!" She shouted across the room who woke Xavier from his state.
"Hey, wash yourself first, don't get the bed dirty." Xavier pulled Noire out of the bed by hand.
…
After washing herself, Noire changed into new clothes. Black fitted long-sleeved coupled with loosy white pants. Her pale skin paired with her clothes makes her look like a goth pulled to reality from a phone.
Xavier also showered after and changed to a more comfortable white t-shirt and some red short probably stole from Noire.
"Aren't that my favorite shorts?"
"No, it is not." Xavier brushed off Noire's grumbling as he prepared a small snacks for them. At this time, the sun was setting west and is usually time for dinner but both of them often stays late at night thus advancing the time for dinner.
Xavier cooked the last stock of food from the fridge consisted of red meat and some vegetables to couple that. While eating the two started to discuss their future plans.
"Change of plans. We need to stick to getting supplies at nearby stores as well as avoid robbing others for now as we are already aware how a stranger can be, proving also we're part of that."
"There are four stores around here, one already deserted, the rest unknown. But still, we need to try. Might as well as farm at the same time, I don't think we will have hard time dealing with orges since I can just use Kendo instead of Blood magic to deal with them as I also have increase speed."
"Then plan is over, we'll farm as we look for supplies." With that, the two finished their food and after looking around the right and front of the apartment building as well as resting their bodies before going out.
At 7PM, the sun was already gone and the pale moon shines above the skies. Noire also discover a hidden passive of her class right this time.

"Though it's useless unless I have blood to spare, I don't even have more reservoir of blood."
They locked the house as well as the balcony, they are expecting some intruders at the least but there is nothing much important things inside and by this time, the power ran out or some power plants was destroyed as the city was left in darkness and in the mercy of the pale moon to illuminate the ground.
Even though being a vampire, atleast the class, Noire still can't see perfectly in the dark let alone Xavier but they also included this with other monsters they met so far.
By this time, the landlord had given up and let the survivors stay in the apartment. After setting food outside, the chilly breeze of air passed the two as they shivered slightly therer.
As of now, they're wearing some heavy clothes such as jackets and long pants to shield from the cold and even some small protection from the others. The two made their way at the front of the apartment at the convenient store and as expected, it was looted already with nothing left but a bunch of useless thing for them.
They set out further, avoiding the illumination of the pale moon as much as possible to hide from others as well as being too quiet. The next target store was at the edge of the current block and the two arrived in no more than 5 minutes. To their luck, they also haven't found anything as the store was already looted.
Though, they haven't given up and made their way at another store, this time was at the opposite side of the block, at the south of the block lies a much more bigger store. After walking for atleast 10 minutes, they arrived outside the big store and to their surprise, the surrounding is filled with survivors going inside of the lit store.
"They used generators. It is akin to burning fire at gasoline station."
"They would attract other human, yes. But they're also gonna attract a bunch of monsters. Hey Bro, let's farm here and after the place is destroyed, we'll grab what's left in it."
"Sounds like a good damn plan."
...
At the university's girl dormitory, in one of the room sat Eleanor. After she arrived here, she immediately packed her belongings into a small backpack, only stuffing a pair of clothes as well as necessities. But when she's about to leave, a group of goblin zombies as well as normal zombies was attracted by the group of survivors in the dormitory from the mist shrouded building, and without proper weapon, Eleanor was basically stuck at her place.
"I should wait and stall time and wait a for them to pass." As she said that, at her room located at the last and edge of the building finally arrived the zombies after ravaging the previous floors in chaos. Earlier, after the zombies got here, there begin a large commotion in the 1st floor making Eleanor wary about her state and now the reason is infront of her.
"I have no choice." Eleanor grabbed her bag, opened the window, and at three floor high, she jumped without hesitations.
