2 Chapter 2

*Blargh*

Fuck... That is just disgusting. Why the hell did I pop it's head open, ugh... After I finish puking I switch my attention to the notification that came up after it died.

[You have killed a Level 1 Common Zombie. Gained 10 Exp]

10 exp, huh... So I need to kill two more to level up. This thing is the orb that drops equipment, isn't it? Looking beside the zombie I see a grey orb on the ground and pick it up looking at it. Looking around it I notice a little button like thing and press it, which causes it to open and something falls out of it. Picking the item up I notice it is like a shirt, so I analyze it.

[Defensive Shirt(Grey)

A shirt that can defend a few blows. There is still a chance to get your bones broken though, but it still helps.

30/30 durability]

So it is similar to the beginner pants, just a bit better, huh. So there is better equipment in each grade or something. Stripping off my normal shirt, I swap it with the defensive shirt and it shrinks down to fit me like the pants. I guess that God didn't want us to have non-usable equipment or something so he added this feature. Whatever.

Looking at the zombie that has mush for a head, I stop myself from throwing up again and step past it and head into the backyard. Looking around I don't see or hear anything that indicates that a zombie is nearby, so I slowly walk out of my backyard. Once I leave the backyard I head left since that is the less populated direction. I definitely wouldn't stand a chance if I go where most of the cities people lived.

Walking down through a few alleys here and there I see hundreds of cars crashed into stuff and burning with a few zombies walking around on the streets. Calming myself down so I don't make any mistakes, I slowly and quietly walk behind houses rather than where a bunch of zombies are around. I manage to get past all the zombies on the street without any finding me, so I let out a breath I was holding the whole time.

Just as I was about to continue moving to find a good place to stay, I hear some groans and movement behind me so I quickly look back and see a zombie similar to the one I killed at my house. Scared that I didn't even realize that there was a zombie behind me, I quickly step back and nearly trip over a big rock. The zombie gets closer to me when I stumbled over the rock and is nearly near me so I force myself to calm down and hold my staff properly.

When the zombie is in range of my staff, I swing it as hard as I can towards it's chest. The staff hits it directly in the chest, causing it to be pushed back with a slightly caved in chest and nearly falling over. Taking this chance I swung my staff towards the zombie again and hit it straight in the middle of it's forehead, causing it to smash in and reveal part of it's skull which is cracked. The zombie kept walking for a few inches before it fell down onto the ground. Unsure if it was dead or not I was going to go and smash it's head like before when a screen popped up.

[You killed a Level 1 Common Zombie. Gained 10 Exp]

Phew. At least I didn't need to smash it's head into mush again like with the first one. I only need to kill one more zombie to level up. Picking up the orb I click the button and a pair of gloves comes out.

[Combat Gloves(Grey)

Durable gloves that can block a few knife slashes.

STR+2

45/45 durability]

Huh? It gives me stats? Putting the gloves on my hands I open my status to see if there is extra stats.

Sweet! I should have figured that equipment would give stats since this is like a game, but I simply ignored that point. Well, at least I know now. That extra strength will be useful for killing zombies quicker though.

Looking around me in case there is more zombies, after seeing that it is clear around I sigh and keep heading in the same direction as before while moving behind all the houses. While I am walking I make sure to keep looking behind me and to the sides just in case more zombies sneak up on me like before.

When I am walking around I notice that there is a lone zombie staring stupidly at a few houses and the ground. Slowly and quietly walking up to the zombie from behind, I hold my staff up high and smash it down onto it's head without it realizing I was there. The zombies head directly cracked open and the zombie just fell down onto the ground, dead.

Damn! The exp needed for level 3 is over double. Whatever. Let's put 2 points into STR, 2 into AGI and 1 into END. Having more strength, speed and stamina will be very useful. I don't know what SPR and INT is used for so I will just ignore those for now.
