Road to Level Up

"Haaa… Haaa…"

While lying on the ground, I look at my stats and see an increase in the physical stats.

~Name: Homura Ryobe~

~Job: None~

~Level: 1 (1710/10000)~

~HP: 165/165(+5 from Equipment)~

~MP: 550/550~

~STR: 12 -> 13~

~VIT: 15 -> 16~

~INT: 55~

~LCK: 10~

~TP: 8200~

It is not much, but it progressed to become stronger. I look at the clock and see that it is already at 9 PM. I force my body to get up and slowly walk to the shower, where I begin to clean all the filth on my body.

After taking a shower, I walk to the kitchen, take out the marinated meat in the fridge, and then cook it. After about an hour or so, I finished cooking all the meat and storing it inside my inventory so it will not be spoiled and can be eaten tomorrow.

When I'm done cooking all the food, I walk to my bedroom and immediately go to sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I open my eyes and get up from my bed. Like always, I wake up at 5 in the morning. I walk to the kitchen, take out some ingredients from my inventory, and cook some food for my breakfast.

I cooked some garlic fried rice, fried cured pork chop, and sunny side up eggs for breakfast today.

Anyway, after I finished eating my breakfast, I got up and activated my skill.

"ID Create: Zombie"

I hear a crack happen, and suddenly the world begins to change. I take out my bow and strap the quiver around my leg.

I look at the bow in my hand. I already blessed this bow five more times with fire attributes, and I have a feeling that this bow can take more blessings, but I don't want to risk it for now. Maybe I will try to bless it once more when I finish this dungeon run.

[Fire Mythril Bow]

[Bow made out of pure Mythril, a scarce metal that can withstand the strongest attack. It has been blessed with Fire Attribute]

[Damage: 150 + (150% of STR) + (100% of Arrow Damage)]

[Effect: 75% chance of bleeding that dealing 10 damage per second for one minute]

[Effect II: Give the enemy burn effect that deals thirty-two damages per second for one minute]

Now I can one shoot a level one zombie and kill a level two zombie, in less than a minute or kill it instantly if I hit a headshot. Anyway, today's objective is to explore the area around the convenience store. Yesterday, I already cleared most of the park and saw that the highest level zombie in that area is a level three zombie.

I learned that the closer you are to the tower where the boss is located, the stronger the mob you will encounter, and the convenience store is located a few hundred meters from the tower. I slowly open up the door of my house and shoot the first zombie I see in front of the gate.

I know there will be another zombie waiting for me if I open up the gate, so I take up my sword and crossbow. I open up the gate and slide under both zombies' attacks coming from my left and right sides.

I stab the zombie to my right and fire my crossbow at the one on the left. I quickly finish the zombie to my right, and when the zombie is dead, I quickly chop off the head of the zombie I shot earlier.

When the zombie is gone, I take the bolts lying on the ground and reload my crossbow before placing it inside my inventory once again. I began to walk to a convenient store.

On the way to the store, I see a group of five zombies standing on the road to the store. I pull the strength of my bow and aim it at the zombie's head. When I release the arrow, I can see the arrow hit the zombie in the head and instantly kill it.

When the other zombie runs toward me, I quickly fire another arrow toward the zombie that is coming toward me. For each arrow I fire, one zombie is dead. A few seconds later, all the zombies are dead and only leave my arrow on the ground.

I walk to the arrow on the ground and pick it up before placing it inside my quiver.

I continue to walk toward the store and decide to go inside the store where I see ten or so zombies standing inside. When my feet step inside the store, the zombie immediately notices me.

I quickly fire an arrow toward the zombie and immediately create a distance between me and the horde before firing another arrow at the zombie.

I do Yakety Sax chase run around the store with the zombie while firing an arrow at them. A minute later, all the zombies are dead, and I pick up my arrow that is lying around the store.

I walk to the second store and see another group of zombies standing around the office, but this time, they did not immediately come toward me as they were only standing there like a weirdo if not for their status as a zombie.

I shot an arrow at the nearest zombie, and when I saw them begin to walk toward me, I began the operation Yakety Sax chase run once again. I run around the office with my bow in hand and fire an arrow at the zombie every time I can.

When all that zombie is dead, I walk to the closest room and open up the door. When I see there is only one zombie inside, I quickly kill it with an arrow to the head. I look around the room to see if there is something valuable inside, but I go to the next room when I see there is nothing valuable.

I continue to go from room to room, searching for something valuable, but there is no treasure chest or something like that even when I reach the manager room.

Seeing there is nothing I can take, I walk away from the store and continue my journey to the west. I slowly walk toward where the tower is located, and I can see stronger and stronger zombies wandering around the area.

There is also a level three zombie roaming around the area from time to time.

~Zombie (Lvl 3)~

~HP: 800/800~

~MP: 0/0~

~STR: 20~

~VIT: 80~

~INT: 0~

~LCK: 0~

The status of the zombie is doubled up from the previous level. Now the zombie is faster and stronger. Not only that, but the zombie also becomes more durable than the previous one. I know that this zombie will give me more XP and TP, but I cannot one-shot this zombie even when I hit its head, unlike the previous zombie.

However, I need to continue as I want to finish my quest. I want to try leveling up first before trying to attack the mini-boss.

You know what? I decide that this place will be my new hunting ground.

I walk to the nearby house with a veranda and forcefully open up the door with my sword. I slowly walk inside the house and see five zombies inside the house immediately come after me.

Looking at the speed, I know that these are level two zombies. Quickly I shoot one of the zombies in the head with an arrow and immediately slide under them and create a distance between them and me.

I shoot another arrow at one of them and see that the zombie catches on fire. When the zombie almost reaches me, I take out my sword and do a quick slash and cut the hand of a said zombie before taking out my crossbow from the inventory and firing its bolts toward the one that comes to me from the left.

Seeing three of the zombies dead, I kick the one in front of me and begin to create a distance between the zombie and me before taking out the bow inside my inventory and firing an arrow at one of them.

When my arrow hit, I did not stay and watch but quickly shot another arrow to the last zombie and hit it in the head, killing it instantly.

With that finished, I pick up all the arrows and bolt on the ground before walking upstairs.

I look around the second floor and even check every room, but I don't see any zombies in the house except the first floor. Seeing there is no more threat in this house, I walk toward the veranda and look at the zombie wandering around the street. The zombie that is on the street is a level two and three zombies with few levels one to the side.

Seeing the location is perfect, I bought fifty planks from the shop. I also bought some nails, a hammer, and a saw.

I then begin to block the entrance to the second floor with planks. After blocking the second-floor entrance, I walk out the veranda, lock the veranda's door, and barricade it with planks. I also barricade the window with planks as well.

While the second floor does not have any zombies on it, there is nothing wrong with a little bit of paranoia.

Anyway, after I barricade the place, I begin to clean up the mess I made and take out some food for lunch today.

This veranda will be my place to sleep and hunt the zombie for these two days.
