'...' with a blank mind I saw the status in front of me. My eyes then scanned through everything one at a time, trying to understand what was in front of me. There were a lot of things to consider, but given my situation, I focused on things that I could use here.

Firstly,

Stats should be reflecting my body's condition and since I can't do anything about it right now, let's come back to them later.

Then comes the skills and skill points.

[Skills: Locked*

Skill points: 0]

I tried opening the skill tab, hoping to find a way to unlock them, wondering if I could get something out of it but

[Skills: Locked]

[Skills tab will be unlocked at Level 5]

[Skill points 0]

Without wasting any time, I moved to the store next, but it was still the same

[Store: Locked]

[Store tab will be unlocked at Level 10]

I then excluded everything that was locked and focused on what was unlocked, which brought me to

-BANG!!!

-BANG!!

The door of my room broke down, and 2 zombies immediately entered. My neighbor and another lady that I didn't know. At first, they just stood there for about 2 minutes, before they suddenly looked at me.

With hurried but jagged steps, they walked towards me. Looking at their zombified flesh, I almost wanted to vomit, but I bit my lips before concentrating on them. They reached at the balcony glass door and

-Bang!

-Crack!

"Sh*t!" I screamed as I saw the glass of the door, half broken from the part where they hit with their body. My neighbor's upper half was dangling outside the broken glass door while the lady was behind my neighbor trying to move in front.

Goosebumps filled all through my body as I started getting numb with fear, but still… I calmed myself as much as I could and mustered some courage before running towards my zombified neighbor and…

-Stab!

-Stab!

-Stab!

I continuously stabbed the zombie with the knife I had. I did not know whether my continuous stabbing killed it or not, but after 4 or 5 stabs

[Ding!]

[You killed a Lesser E-Grade Zombie!!]

[You gained +20 Exp]

My mind went blank at a few things. I was happy that I killed a zombie, but…

'What the heck do you mean Lesser E-Grade? Are you telling me there are creatures stronger than it?!' this time I almost cursed myself wondering what the world has turned into.

I turned back for a few moments to look at the dying city before turning to the lady zombie, who had put her hands and neck through the broken area of the door, trying to get to me.

-Stab!

-Stab!

-Stab!

-Stab!

[Ding!]

[You killed a Lesser E-Grade Zombie!!]

I took a deep breath before I saw another zombie slowly walking into my room before turning at me, as the previous two did. It was another guy from the apartment, but I did not know him that well.

I waited for him to walk towards me and also saw that two more zombies were entering after him. I didn't know how long my body can hold itself, but one thing that I was really sure about was that I ain't no f*cking way giving up this early!

-Rwar!!

-Rwar!!

-Rwar!!

The zombie ran towards the gate and pushed the other two dead zombies who were trapped in the glass door.

-Crack!!

The glass door completely broke due to the impact, though the incoming zombie also fell in the process. Taking my chances, I moved forward and stabbed him in the neck.

-Stab!

My knife broke!

[Ding!]

'Guess there is only so much a kitchen knife can do. Now that leaves the other two zombies who were charging at me… '

'Think! Think! Think! Think! Think! Think!...' My mind went into full calculating mode, trying to figure out a way out of this… and the best solution that I thought was… to wait for them to come closer.

I moved a bit backward, touching the railing. The railing was a little over my waist, so, while it was still slightly high, I was betting on my chances of pushing them off the balcony.

-Rwar!

One fell at the balcony door stumbling on the dead zombies. The other one stumbled too but stood up before hurriedly charging at me.

I dodged cautiously before pushing his upper body against the railing… and I failed! It was too heavy! F*ck… what the heck was I thinking… I am weak… I am still sick…

My eyes widened as I finally realised the stupid mistake that I made. The zombie beside me turned towards me slowly while the other zombie was already in the balcony covering my only exit…
