Chapter 3 [ The Beginning ]

From now on I will call Issei's mc.

'' Speaking aloud.''

' Thinking '

[ ( Game ) ]

{ The Game talking }

----x----x----x----x----

Nothing has changed ...

{ Go to the balcony }

Tch... With a little mental slap of my tongue, I hate it when he reads my mind.

{ Get used to it. }

Checking everything from my long dagger, my armor to my pistol.

With everything ready, I opened the door slowly, not wanting to alert anything that was lurking there, if there was anything there.

Peeking through the opening, even though it was small I could still see the sky completely obscured, right on top of a skyscraper was forming what looked like a storm.

{ Beautiful ... no? }

Pretending not to hear him, I opened the door further, slowly so as not to cause any kind of noise that might attract any zombies, not until I had enough information.

I froze in place when I felt a shiver run down my spine, it was as if something wrong or bad was about to happen. Instinctively, I held the [ Black Star ] in one hand while holding the handle of the [ Estoc ] in my other hand.

It wasn't long before whatever it was came at me, a large, pale zombie that was easily the size of my house.

Its gait caused small tremors wherever it went, while each step it took left a trace of its fingerprint behind.

Fortunately, the armor seemed to function normally, as he walked past me without noticing my presence. I focused on him to get his information.

Skill Acquired.

[ Sense Danger ( Passive ) Lv3 [69%]

This is a natural instinct, which allows the user to sense when something bad is about to happen. The higher the level, the greater the range of the sense, the sooner the user can sense danger.

..

"I've gained a new ability ... Should I test some things while I'm here?' I thought, as I looked at the large zombie. 'Shouldn't zombies be smaller?'

With that thought, I watched quietly from outside the balcony. Yes, there are smaller zombies.

There were some of these smaller zombies wandering around downstairs while letting out little moans.

...

Danger Sense increased by 1!

...

'What if ...'With that in mind, I will try to put into practice a plan that crossed my mind.

Descending the stairs to the downstairs in slow steps, I looked around each corner and after confirming that there were no monsters that could take me by surprise. I walked out the back door of the house while watching both sides.

Not seeing any zombies waiting for me outside or even hiding, I got out of there, grabbed the [ Black Star ] and used it with only one hand and followed the wall.

Seeing a "zombie" staggering from side to side, I would use it as a test target.

{ Quick tip, a zombie's weakness is its head. }

'Right.' My answer was short, but he didn't seem to care, every bit of information was welcome.

Not knowing how to execute the skill so I thought of it: 'Sneak.'

[ - 1 MP ]

Seeing that I was able to activate it with a mental command, I raised the [ Black Star ] and pointed it at the zombie in front of me. Squeezing the trigger...

Pff... (( That's not a laugh. ))

A small, almost inaudible sound came out of it, hitting the zombie's leg right in its knee.

[ Critical Strike! 2x ]

[ The zombie received 20 damage! ]

I watched as he dropped his mouth to the hard concrete and dislocated his jaw.

Not wanting to know what would happen when my MP reached zero, I fired another shot, only this time at his head.

Back inside the house when I was bombarded by new blue screens that seemed endless, they finally give me a truce and cease.

{ You played dirty there, but since you thought of something outside the box, there is no reason to leave you without your reward. }

'Can I keep using this? Or am I banned?' I asked mentally. If he banned me, I would have to look for another way to raise [ Sneak ] to a higher level quickly.

{Nah! I don't care much if you found a loophole, your life is one big game now. Besides, you will need to get stronger if you want to survive in the world you find yourself in. }

{ Once you reach level 100, I have a little surprise prepared for you, but until then you better not die, > < }
