Phase One: Day 2 (Pt1)

Ugh, what a horrible dream. I slowly open my eyes and then I notice I am in a closet. This, cannot be real. I get up and open the closet door. Looking at the ground I see that it actually was real. There are the five knives I grabbed from the kitchen, and my ham. A few feet away are two bottles of water.

Man, I really hope this is a dream. If it isn't then the world is fucked. I pinch myself just to check, and to my surprise it hurt, like hell.

I sigh to myself. My little sister is dead and my mother is gone. Hopefully she is alright. Even if you nag me, I still love you.

I have no idea if any more zombies or those black birds are outside my door, but I'm safe in here… At least for now. My door is blocked by my dresser and my window blocked by my mattress. Yup, perfectly safe.

I grab the bottle water and ham that are on the ground. The ham is wrapped up so it's not dirty at all. Of course this bottle water is name brand. Too bad my mother doesn't allow us to drink pop… Or juice. Now that I think about it, I've been eating healthy all my life. Damn you mother! Why couldn't you let me enjoy the wonders of this world before this happened!

I take a knife and slice a piece off. Stuffing it in my mouth all the wonderful juices start flowing. I start chewing it, and begin to wonder…

“Appraisal.”

Ham - +10 hunger +1 HP

Wow, it actually did have an effect. I wonder would the effect still work if I didn't have the appraisal skill. If it didn't, then I'm glad I got it. But the martial arts skill… I still very much want it. I mean c’mon who doesn't want to have mad martial arts skills?

All them Chinese wuxia or xianxia novels I've read just makes me want to be like them. Too bad that stuff won't exist anytime soon.

I wonder what effects my bottled water gives. I mean its water… Would it even add an effect?

I pick the bottle water up and look at it. It's clear and ordinary, I doubt it would have any amazing stats.

“Appraisal.”

Named water - +10 thirst +2 MP

Shit! This is too good to be true. You're telling me my food and drink are basically HP and mp pots!? Although the effects are quite low, it's still good for my level. Too bad I don't have any MP or else I would grab all the bottle waters I can.

I go to my dresser and grab my smartphone. Please don't ask why it's in the dresser, those were not good times. I mean it's not like I don't have friends… It's just I don't have many. OK fine, I have none. Truly I don't know why my mother got me this thing.

Considering the internet is down I'm going to assume the connection for my phone is too. I turn it on anyways to check. After it turns on, it's just like how I imagined. No service, not even WiFi. Well that's not what I was going to use it for anyways, but now I have a clock.

Currently is eight thirty a.m. I think I woke up way too early for this. If I spend twelve hours away, that means I'll need something go do. Playing with my little home for twelve hours is definitely out of question.

Hmm, what to do. That guy did say this is a game, so shouldn't I grind levels? If I did that I would have to risk my life and go outside. No, no, no I don't want to risk my life over a stupid game. I'm sure someone else will kill that guy later, I'll just have fun while they do that.

Surely the government will do something about this… Right? I mean use missiles, tanks, ground forces, something! If I can survive until then, then I'll be good.

Thinking about it, now would be a great time to have a gun. Mother… Why do you have to make me struggle. A knife really, this is the only deadly weapon we have in this house. You expect me to protect myself with a fuxking knife! Hell even a machete would be better than this little thing.

Grabbing all of the knives I place them in my pocket. Actually never mind about that, I go grab my backpack. I always knew you would come in handy one day. All the cool kids have figures on theirs, so I have one on mines. Of course he's the best ever. I'll give you a hint, it rhymes with rat. Yup, you already guessed it, Batman!

Ha, too bad I'm not cool. I toss it over my shoulder and stuff everything I need inside. Ham check. Knives check. Water, check. Smartphone or clock, check. Oh, let's toss a few clothes inside.

Wait, 5hey could have some kind of effect as well. Might as well check.

“Appraisal.”

White T-shirt - +2 defense

Boxer - +1 defense

Jeans - +2 defense

Wow, so a total of five. I guess that works out. Tossing in my clothes it's time to roll. If only I had a bathroom in my room, things could have been different. Then I wouldn’t need to leave my room in order to use it.

Sucks, you would think since this is like an rpg situation, we wouldn’t need to use it. Well, that is not the case.

I move the dresser out of the way. I notice that there are holes in my door… I have no idea what to say. I tighten my grip on my trusty kitchen knife and open the door slowly. Can’t be too fast or it might make a sound.

Peaking my head out the door, I notice that not much has changed. Sure there is this god awful smell, but other than that things are normal. Luckily the bathroom is on this floor so I don’t have to go far.

I quickly rush to the bathroom which is a few doors down from my room. I open the door and peek inside. Phew, there isn’t anything in here. Time to use it and then leave this place.

I know I don’t want to go outside, but I have no choice. Who knows if more of those things will come to my house. If they do, I can’t take them all with this kitchen knife. It’s better to find a really secure location and find weapons I can use.

Not to mention I need to find my mother. Hopefully she’s ok.

Thinking about her made me think of another question. How far does this spread? Is it all across the state? The entire United States of America? The whole world? These are things I have to know.

For now, i’ll just say the whole USA. I can’t be thinking about the whole world right now, just need to focus on me, myself, and I.

Finishing up my business I decide I shall wash up as well. Hopefully no one comes up here, but if they do, i’m prepared. I take off all my clothes and hop into the shower. Not for too long, but just a quickie.

Stepping out the shower I put on my other clothes. Now, i’m all set.

Opening the bathroom door, I find two zombies approaching. Damnit, I should have known they would appear. I mean who wouldn’t hear the toilet flush and the shower running? Sure, they are coming slow, but I will not underestimate them.

I rush towards one and thrust my knife in it’s eye. It tries to grab me, but i’m too quick. The other one swipes its hand at me, but I cut it. Man, i’ve really improved from last night. I continue thrusting my knife at the one whose eye is gone. Slowly it falls, but no level up. Fuck! Why couldn’t I continue leveling up from at least one zombie!

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

I shove my knife at the other zombies chest. I heard something crack, but I don’t pay it much attention. It’s already missing a hand, so I am not afraid of this! My hand movements are quick, and I continue stabbing the thing.

You would think that I would be scared and traumatized after killing these things that look like humans. But that is surely not the case. Nope. I feel nothing. Maybe it’s because I know they aren’t human? Or is it because that thing said this was a game? I don’t know, but hopefully I won’t have to kill real humans.

Sure I might dream of having an endless number of women beneath me, but that won’t happen. I might dream of killing a few people here and there. But let’s be honest here, I would never do that. Or… I don’t think I would.

Now that i’ve taken care of those two zombies I go to my mother's room. I already know it’s locked so I break open the door. It causes a sound and I hear more zombies coming from down stairs. You might wonder why i’m going to her room. Well, I need supplies. I’m sure mother has a few things sitting around that I could use.

First, let’s kill these zombies. I hide on the side of the wall while waiting for them to come in. Ugh, these things take forever. I could probably sleep for two hours before they approach. I leave my spot and rush them instead.

You know, what would happen if I were bitten? Would I also turn into one? Need to test this out on something, or someone one day. Not on myself though, because c’mon that would be stupid.

Ahead of me are four zombies this time, except one is smaller than the rest. It looks like a small child. If I squint my eyes and turn my head sideways, it looks kind of cute. It’s decided, that shall be my first victim!

I rush it, but am blocked by two of the bigger zombies. Damnit! Why couldn’t you let the child go first? Skip it, you fuckers are first. They reach their arms out to grab me, but I duck. I sweep their legs and they go falling down. And I yell timber… nevermind…

While they are on the ground, the child tries to bite my leg. I kick the little thing straight in it’s head. I was hoping for it’s head to be knocked off, but that doesn't happen… sadly. Instead it is blow back a few feet and knocked against the fourth zombie behind it.

While the two on the ground are getting up, I take this chance to kill them off. Kill off the weaker ones first, and save the strong for last. Good logic for who ever made that up.

I actually wonder if these things have hp? Would they die if I chop off their heads? This needs to be explained, or tested. I would try to chop off their heads, but my knife doesn’t work well in that department. I can however check their hp.

“Appraisal!”

Medium zombie: 10 HP

Small Zombie: 15 HP

What… that makes no sense at all. How does the child have more health than the bigger one? So there is a small and medium one. I’ll have to fear for the large one, if I met it.

I stab the zombie that’s trying to get up in it’s head. Would this count as a headshot? I shake my head, now is not the time for that. After it falls, I feel something on my back.

I hurry and turn around only to see the jaws of the thing. It’s so ugly, even the teeth are rotten. I have to say, those zombies in the movies and tv shows look exactly the same. I kick it in it’s stomach. Once it goes back a few feet, my attention falls on the child who is coming towards me. There is the other one behind it as well, but it’s much slower than the child.

I thrust my knife at the child until it stops moving. After it drops down, I spin around and rush the one that was knocked a few feet back. I stab it in it’s stomach a few times. While it’s falling over it tries to bite me, but I force the knife up. There is a ton of resistance due to the flesh and bones, but it still works.

Now, the last zombie. I pull my knife out and rush at it. It tries to grab me, but I chop it’s hand off. Man, i’m getting really good at this. Now that it’s hands are gone, I have nothing to fear. I stab it in the middle of it’s forehead, but then I hear something snap.

I pull out my knife… or the piece that's left. The thing broke. Luckily I still have the ones in my bag, so not too worried. The zombie dies and I get a familiar ding.

Ding!

You have leveled up to 3.

You have gained +10 stat points.

Sweet. I open my status window and place them into strength and agility. Naturally this is the way to go considering i’m using a melee weapon. I don’t know what dexterity does, but i’m going to assume it has to do with ranged weapons. Wisdom I know for sure has to do with my MP. Considering it’s zero and my MP is zero that explains something. I’ll consider increasing that later, but for now there is no need.

Turning my attention to my original goal, I stroll towards my mother's room. Inside there is her king sized bed, flat screen tv, and three dressers. I open all of her dressers to begin my search. Well… this is not what I expected to find.

Looking at the purple penis like object in the drawer I hurry and close it. Mother… what were you doing? And she tells me what I should do…

There was nothing in her dressers besides a few beauty supplies and a mirror. Time for the closet. I fear for what’s inside here considering what I found inside her drawer. Hopefully it’s not more dildos…

I open it with no expectations at all. Luckily there weren’t any sex toys inside. Instead there were clothes, good, she's normal. Oh, what’s this. I find a brown box in the corner of the closet. I pull it out and open it.

Why! Why mother!? It’s full of sex toys. There's even a fucking whip! Could this be the real reason dad left? I… don’t even want to think about it. My eyes find something that has a small shine to it. I reach my hand into the brown box. Oh god please don’t let this be some super toy.

Nevermind, it’s actually pretty damn useful! Mother, you son of a gun. Who’s gun did you steal?

Yes, that's right. At the bottom of this box filled with toys is a gun. It’s just a standard handgun I guess.

I’ve seen this in too many movies not to know how to use this. Theres the safety button on the side and a small button for the clip. I press the button and the clip slides down. I pull it out and it’s empty. Fuck! How do you have a gun but no bullets!

I can only shake my head. Did she get this to scare people with or something. Fuck it, I dumb the whole box out. Better to check it and be sure. Nope, I have no idea why I thought that woman would have bullets. Besides the sex toys, there is nothing else. I sigh as I toss the handgun in my bag.

Now i’m all set to go outside. Or would be, except I forgot something. Something very, very important. There is a metal bat in my basement! How could I forget such a thing? I only got it because I thought playing baseball would make me cool. That didn’t turn out so well, but now it can finally come in handy.
