'Noo! '

'Don't...don't come any closer...'

'Aaaah!' screamed Keta who was at this moment scared silly.

Staring death in the eye is not as simple as they show in the movies and tv shows and now Keta himself was realizing this dreadful fact.

Finally his weak knees gave in and he fell on the floor. The zombie was now at his legs, fiercely kicking the zombie on pure instincts, Keta dragged himself backwards, away from the zombie using his hands.

At this moment, he knew, he was done for. Because of his desperate kicks on the zombie's shaking legs, the zombie became unbalanced as its body started to fall towards him. The zombie had his mouth opened as it was approaching him.

To stop the zombie from crashing into in his own body, he lifted his hunting knife straight upwards to stop the falling zombie. Keta quickly moved his head sideways, for he didn't want the zombie liquids to fall on him, especially on his face.

This was by no means his intelligence or brain working but it was his spoiled reflex. Being the rich young master he was, he too had a disgust towards some things. And as soon as he spotted the ugly zombie felling towards him, his body moved by reflex, hence saving his miserable life.

The hunting knife easily pierced through the zombies mouth and came out from the back of its head. Quickly, wasting no time, he pushed the zombie aside and stood up.

His first reaction was to monitor himself, not for wounds but to check if any of that disgusting thing's remain fell on him. This disgust even overwhelmed his previous life threatening fear.  Thankfully he was clean, only his plain white loose shirt had been tainted with that shiny zombie blood, but that too was only some minor drops.

As soon as the disgust was over, the situation once again became known to him as he powerlessly fell on the ground right beside the dead zombie.

Taking ten to fifteen minutes to review what happened with him, he assured himself by taking another five minutes and then moved towards the fridge.

Taking out a water bottle from the group placed in the back, he uncapped it and cleaned his hands. Then he splashed the cold water on his face, giving him a cool sensation.

Quickly after, he drank water as he was in a desert suffering from drought for years and finally found a well full of water.

For now, he was almost recovered, even though hungry, his stamina had recovered. After eating the left over fish from few days ago, his strength was restored.

'What was that annoying window?'  'appearing in front of me suddenly in a battle, was it trying to kill me?'

'Wait a minute....could it be..no way...Impossible!'

A trace of excitement could actually be seen on his weak face. In an deep expectant voice he shouted in a low voice 'Character Window'

As expected, a blue vivid screen suddenly appeared in front of him out of now where. Even though he had already guessed it would appear but still it didn't keep him from being happy.

'haha...just as I thought...its insane!' said Keta.

'If it is really a game, and zombies drop items, then the ones I killed just now should've dropped something...azure balls!' now Keta was once again in high spirits, he still remembered the warmth from the azure balls.

Closing his nose tightly using his fingers, Keta slowly moved towards the dead zombies, pretending to be an expert still on guard. But the fact that he couldn't bear the rotting smell of the zombies and blocked one of his primary senses just because of discomfort proved that he was far from their level.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

There was an azure ball near the corpse of a zombie, happily he picked it up and moved towards the others hoping to charm lady luck.

He then noticed a somewhat bright light emanating from under a zombie, it was very different from the light emitting from the power balls, this made him become endlessly curious.

He moved towards the zombie, not daring to touch the filthy thing he using the hunting knife to flip its corpse over. If his dad was alive at this moment and saw his son using his beloved hunting knife to flip over zombies, he would surely die, maybe even now he was turning in his grave.

A purple scroll was lying there simply, the light was getting weaker and weaker by the second. Remembering the gaming drop concepts, Keta quickly grabbed the scroll and as soon as he did a window appeared in front of him. This time he was not even surprised as he calmly focused on the window.

Growth type Enhancement Skill

[one time use]

Properties: If you apply it to any of your items, it would become a growth type. It would grow with its user. As for its growth conditions, it depends on your item and luck.

----------------------------------------

If this was a game, he was destined to grow. And when he would, his current items would simply become useless to him, since at that level, they wouldn't support him but perhaps even hinder him.

And if he wanted anything by his side to the end, it would be the thing left by his parents, the marveled expert ranked hunting knife. Clearly he knew, if the skill was applied unto this, he would suffer in the short run, since the hunting knife would match his current level and actually degrade but in future he will be able to keep it with him at all times.

Making a decision, he didn't hesitate any longer and said  in a firm voice capable of shaking even the mountains 'Use it on the hunting knife'

As soon as the words left his mouth, the scroll disappeared in thin air and a bright light covered his hunting knife. Suddenly in the process, Keta felt as if someone dealt a heavy blow on him. Soon he felt a bitter sweet taste in his throat, rising up at an astonishing speed.

Blood, it was blood. Like a fountain, Keta's mouth sprayed blood like it had finally gone wild. At least two mouthful of blood was expended, the blood didn't fall on the floor but turned into a well organized stream as it moved towards the hunting knife which was covered in shining light.

The hunting knife simply drank the blood and finally the light around it disappeared leaving behind a pitch black short sword. It was no longer a hunting knife, but a short sword.

At this moment, Keta was once again feeling weak but the excitement kept him fully energized, even though he was confused, he was patient, because it was after all a game, and he had played countless of these to know that he was going to get something special.

At this moment a 'ding' sound rang in his ears and a window soon appeared in front of him.

-----------------------------------

Fiendish Blood Devouring Short Sword lvl4

properties: As its name suggests, its a blood devouring sword, with blood it was born and with blood it will grow. The blood it gets at the time of creation will be forever its owner and the owner can always sense where it is. Similarly to level up it will need to devour the blood of any species, its evolution speed and type will depend on the blood it devoured.

Current skill attached: Madness : strength (+5), agility (+5) for five minutes after activation. After the given period of time 5 points of stamina are consumed.

Blood fiend: Once it is in contact with blood, it will automatically absorb, after a certain amount of blood is absorbed it can level up.

-----------------------------------------------

'hahaha.... I have hit a jack pot....with this, my chances of survival if not tripled have at least grown more than double' exclaimed Keta in a joyous voice after reviewing the information with great care, and eyeing his new partner 'The blood fiend short sword'
