Legendary Shelter Survival Guide

They all talked and took a break when finally, the day was over.

The countdown showed but only a few seconds and Lucas's heart was freaking out.

He checked his status ensuring every single skill he had was either level 5 or higher.

Everything checked out.

The countdown turned to 0 and the hologram in front of them completely changed.

Lucas had his eyes widen while he looked at the screen in front of him. He hadn't read it clearly and only skimmed for the most important parts.

His eyes went up and he froze, many were looking at him. He didn't know the reason for it. They had the same look as Lucas, breathless without any exhaustion.

Tears fell from Ella's eyes as she looked at her family and the others all in front of her. Even the Basilon was near her while it looked confused while staring in front of him. The first time Lucas realized clearly that even it had a system.

"I am happy to see you all alive and kicking in front of me…" Lucas spoke with the most emotions he had in ages. The others either teared up with his response or looked at him with a warm expression.

There was no need to look at the system anymore as the purpose of looking at it for now was over, every one of them survived. Discover exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire

The harsh training and the urgencies had all paid well.

"Thank you… Thank you for surviving and helping me survive too… It would have not been possible to upgrade the shelter without you all."

"Gosh, stop it or I will really start crying, you bastard." Jerry wiped his eyes with his arm and did not make eye contact. Lucas smiled seeing him all emotional.

"It is not you who should thank us, it should be us, Lucas... You really brought the best in us as a leader and helped us survive, Me and my family are very grateful to you..."

John said making Lucas surprised but the next second, the guy completely bowed while he was sitting. Lucas did not know what to say as he looked at the guy with wide eyes.

The man was giving such respect to a kid that it made the situation look unbelievable.

The two sons and the wife looked at John and then at Lucas.

Lucas had expected some rebuke from Barney that his father had bowed in front of Lucas but those three too bowed with their heads down completely.

"Thank you, Lucas," Barney said, his voice shaky.

Lucas had nothing to say to them, he had no word as he was too shocked. One by one, everyone bowed in front of him.

"Don't do this…" he bit his lips in frustration wanting to reply with something better than this but nothing came out. He had nothing to say to them.

One by one, everyone moved their heads up. Lucas looked at Sarah who had her eyes all red with drops of tears dropping down her cheeks. Lucas gave her the warmest smile he could ever muster which led her to smile and cry more.

It seemed like a normal situation, that they survived this phase. Yet the emotional impact was significant. Just a few moments ago, everyone had their hearts in their throats thinking if something would go wrong.

At this point, everyone had already believed what the phases said completely. Their realities had changed and only by this phase that they realize it completely.

While they all had an emotional reunion, many were brawling their tears out as their loved one's bodies fell limp on the ground.

When the phase was completed, just a second later, all the creatures that hadn't gotten their skill at level 5 or not defeated the boss monsters died on the spot with their bodies cold.

Not even Lucas's family's group had it all good. Two of the people had died in their group out of their own negligence and rigidness. They were the only old men in the group that hadn't accepted this reality at all.

They did not level up saying that it was not their job to kill creatures but the youngs. It was because of Lucas's father's over-killing of creatures that they hadn't a need to actually do anything but live peacefully.

IT could be said that every single creature that was weak-willed, not excepting, or too dumb for its own good had not survived this phase finally segregating those who actually knew what they were doing and those who could not do anything no matter what happened. They would have been a burden.

Lucas talked with his parent and sister, the conversation had been very emotional where even his sister had cried her eyes out relieved that her family had survived without trouble.

Lucas even talked with his father where he was told by how proud he was of Lucas.

After all the talks, Lucas's group was free and happy as they had a big party. Everyone ate huge amounts of cooked food and booze-flavored herbal potion.

Lucas even made the decision to send a lot of free food to the ones he considered close to his group as congratulations.

Daryl's group, his parent's group, his sister's group, and Sarah's brother's group all got free food.

Even after all that, they had enough to go by 2 months without any hunting or trade.
