Episode 17: Shop
Kilr glanced over to Dexter's dead body and fell on his knees. The throbbing in his spine was gone leaving him more drained than ever before. His head spun wildly like a rollercoaster set on max speed.
"I did it?" He asked himself with denial in his voice. "I really did it!"
Ding!

<You have slain "White Bone Zombie">
<300 exo has been recieved>
<Double Gain has been initiated>
<600 exp has been recieved>
---------------
<You have leveled up!!>
<You have leveled up!!>
------------
Kilr would have smiled but his body was to weak to. He did just take a beating that even the best of school bullies could not give.
------------
<For killing a monster higher than you have recieved Health potion (low) ×3>
-----------
Kilr stared at the screen with scorn.
"Why do I feel like I have been duped?"
Another notification came up.
----------------
<You 100 have recieved coins>
<Extra 50 coins has been given for finishing the mission alone>
-----------------
Another notification popped up.
----------------
<Shop is now available>
-----------------
<Dead Assessment has been initiated>
<You have recieved: mutated zombie core ×1, white bone piece ×37, shard ×6>
------------------
Kilr initiated the system and found a shop icon flashing back at him. He knew what he needed was a good sword so he looked it up. His own sword's durability was almost spent, it was a miracle it help up till then.
-----------------
<Shop >
<Category: Swords>
<Moon Shadow Blade (D)- 200c>
<Graystone Blade (D)- 200c>
<Arc Of Sun (D)- 150c>
<Zombie Slayer (E)- 50c>
-------------------
Kilr tapped the zombie slayer not because the name sounded catchy but because it felt like something that would be really good for killing zombies.
--------------
<Title: Zombie Slayer>
<Grade: E (Cursed)>
<Info: This blade feeds on zombie essence to evolve but also turns it's wielder a zombie. Only those with characteristics similar can wield it.>
-----------------
"Explains why it's cheap! Guess no one wants it! If I start showing signs of zombification I could just throw it away!"
--------------------
<You have purchased Zombie Slayer>
<Your compatibility with the weapon is quite high>
-----------------
Kilr nodded proudly to himself.
------------------
<Would you like to evolve it with "Mutated Zombie Core"?>
<Y N>
--------------
"Yes!" He ordered.
--------------
<Zombie Slayer has evolved!>
<A new special trait has been unlocked: Double Hit>

------------
Kilr was done being weak. He initiated the shop and scrolled through till he found something worth his time.
----------------------
<Ring Of Health- 80C>
<Info: When equipped, increase health by +50>
---------------
<You have purchased item "Ring Of Health">
----------------
<Your items have been inserted into the "Inventory">
------------------
Kilr turned back to find Narci and Sofia staring at him with fear in their eyes. It was clear that they had seen what he had done to the 'White Bone Zombie' and we're still shaken. Kilr was feeling a lot better and wanted to do this now.
"Goodbye!" He boomed as he rose to his feet and strode over to the door. They could hardly grasp what he was saying, "You guys are holding me back!"
Narci wanted to call out his name but she knew his words were true, that's why they cut real deep. Yet she expected him to wait and come back to her but he never did!
As Kilr reached for the door handle a notification flashed before his eyes.
--------------------
<White Bone Zombie has marked you with it's final cry>
<You will be hunted by other mutated species>
--------------------
Kilr opened the door and embraced the zombies there with his sword.
"Let them come!"
