HP: A Sociopath Gamer In Magic World [ Chapter 34: Huge Amount of experience! ] (Patreon)

What they had stumbled upon was the decapitated corpse of the troll, as Charles' unmoving body was being carried in the air by Professor McGonagall.
At the time they had thought the worst, and Hermione had felt her heart stop.
Thankfully the transfiguration mistress had explained that he had merely collapsed.
Hermione had wanted nothing more than to go to the Hospital Wing, but she, like the other two boys, had been strictly ordered to return to their dormitory.
On the way, they passed many cheering portraits, all of whom seemed excited to retell the events of the fight. By morning everyone knew of what had happened.
The next day Charles had appeared at breakfast as his usual aloof self, as if nothing had happened.
However as someone that was close to him, Hermione knew that wasn't true. The night had left its share of scars on him as well.
While he continued to act as his usual friendly self, she could spot the dark circles under his eyes that he desperately tried to hide. There was a time when he would sometimes jerk at the smallest of sounds. The fact he always had a knife within arms reach of him whenever he was eating didn't escape her.
What really worried her however was the way that he generally carried himself, as if he was always on guard.
She could only imagine the trauma that he must be feeling at the moment.
Zombie Dungeon:-
Is this real life?
(Charles laying down on the roof of a house with his eyes closed.)
Is this just fantasy?
(Taking out his wand he sends a red flare into the sky.)
Caught in a landslide
(Pan out to see the house surrounded by a horde of zombies)
No escape from reality
*Boom* (Countless explosions rock the dungeon)
Open your eyes
(Close up of Charles opening his eyes, reaching a hand to the ceiling)
Look up to the skies and see
(He stands up sees a sea of burning zombies with a smile)
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
A little high, little low
(He unsheathes his rapier and wand and jumps into the horde)
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me.
(He spins in a circle decapitating several lesser undead)
(Using sprint he mows down the zombies hordes until there is only one left.)
(Trading his wand for his crossbow he slowly walks to the walking corpse.)
Mama, just killed a man
(The zombie takes a swipe with Charles ducking and places his weapon under its jaw.
Put a gun against his head
*Twing*
Pulled the trigger, now he's dead
(The zombie explodes into black smoke.)
Mama, life has just begun
(Close up view of Charles taking out a hand painted portrait of his parents.)
But now I've thrown it all away
(Without looking he shoots an explosive bolt to his side.)
Mama, oh oh
Didn't mean to make you cry
(He tucks the picture away)
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
(The zombie wizard comes out covered in alchemic fire shooting cutting curses.
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters.
(Charles dodges the curses with upmost grace, twirling around like a ballerina, slowly closing the distance.)
(Using his rapier, he cuts of its hands before kicking it in the head.)
(The wizard goes flying into a pile of burning rubble weakly trying to get up, only to be skewered by a rapier in the heart)
Hermione:-
Someway, somehow, Harry and Ron had become her friends during the week and while she was glad for the company, she noticed it wasn't the same as Charles.
She had tried to be there for him during their usual library meetings, but he refused to admit that anything was wrong.
There was also the matter with the Slytherin girl that would sometimes follow him around, Daphne Greengrass, she remembered. During those times, she found it almost impossible to approach him. That was just another difference that the two shared. While Slytherin could hardly stand the sight of her, Charles seemed to be left mostly alone thanks to his friendship with the Slytherin 'Princess'.
That however wouldn't stop her from being his friend and rival.
She had woken up early today, despite it being a Saturday, to invite Charles to watch the First Quidditch Game of the season, even if she didn't particularly care for the game.
Yet as the time grew closer, she had failed to see neither hide nor hair of him. In fact, no one had.
"Where could he possibly be?" the bushy haired witch said with a pout.
Zombie Dungeon:-
I leaped through the air using double jump repeatedly to zig-zag between the barrage of elemental attacks. At level 13 [Double Jump] allowed me to perform a maximum of 6 consecutive jumps before my feet needed to touch a surface, and with all of the floating piece of earth in the air, there were plenty of those.
I threw a smoke potion at it and followed it up with a Mana Bolt.
Opening my inventory, I took out a piece of meat and scarfed it down to regain some of my lost health.
The rapier in my hand was exchanged for a double handed halbert before I entered the cloud of smoke.
Dodging the blades of air and blast of fire, I spun my weapon in a circle blocking the shard of broken stone and icicles before pointing my hand in the direction of the elemental zombie wizard and whispered the name of my skill.
"Life Drain."
Immediately I could feel my health slowly return as I robbed it from my opponent.
It took a little less than seven minutes of me just continually blocking attack before the undead was finally depleted of its last health point and it disappeared into a wisp of smoke.
I used [Fly] to control my fall as the levitating platforms plummeted below.
This was the first time I had managed to beat the elemental undead.
