When I wake up I notice that everyone else is still asleep so I decide to leave the store alone and go look around th e stores to see if there is anything useful to me. I easily pass through the gap in the store entrance due to my small body and walk around the second floor. I notice a few stores that have a bit of medicine and food, Which I put into my storage. After walking a while I found a clothes store that has clothes that would fit me so I decide to go inside. Once I went inside I looked around for normal looking clothes and found a few shirts that would fit me, Most being black and red. I also grabbed some underwear, Since it feels damn weird walking around without any on.

After putting a new shirt and underwear on, I leave the store and head back to the store where the group is currently at. When I am heading back to the store, I start hearing something like swords clashing so I walk over while hiding myself in any shadows I can find, Which makes it harder to find me with the sneak skill.

When I reach the store we had camped at, I see that my group is fighting the other group, currently losing aswell. I notice that besides Adam and Liam, There is only 2 more people alive on myside, While the enemies still have 8 people. I guess they did a sneak attack or something. Resulting in the high deathrate of my group. I don't bother helping them though, Since I wanted to leave the group eventually. Today is as good a day as any. After 5 minutes, Only Adam and Liam are alive, Albeit injured heavily. The other group still has 5 people left, With only some minor injuries on them.

They are talking to eachother but I can't hear anything from where I am, so I don't know what it is. After a minute of talking they kill Adam and Liam, then start looting their bodies. It is at this time that I decide to attack, Taking out both of my daggers, I make use of my massive speed and instantly appear behind the leader guy, Plunging both of my daggers into his neck. Right after that I don't bother with him anymore since he will die soon, taking both my daggers out of him I stab one into two peoples heads, who were beside him.

Now there is only 2 people alive, both of which are scared shitless right now. They attempt to attack me, Yet their movements are so slow in my eyes that I don't bother with them anymore. I just lightly hop and appear behind both of them and plung my daggers into their hearts from behind. They both look down in shock, before they fall over and join the others in death. I loot everything that is on them, Finding a decent amount of food and medicine, I also managed to get a ring with a serpent looking design on it.

'Pha, Can you show me this rings info?'

- Serpentine Ring: This is a ring that was created by the lord of the Serpentine 300 years ago. It allows whoever is wearing it a protection spell once a week that can protect them from a fatal wound.

Oh~ Not a bad ring. It didn't work when I killed them, so I guess that it was used already. I put the ring onto my right hand index finger and keep looting the bodies. I find a few machetes which I just throw into my storage. After looting them all, I left the store and head down the mall stairs to the first floor.

Once I get down to the first floor, I decide to just leave now instead of searching around anymore, Since I don't think I will need anything else that is here. I head over to the exit of the mall and head out, what appears in front of me is a few dozen zombies, Which I casually kill with my daggers. After killing the final zombie, I get a notification.

You have leveled up to 5! You have gained 2 free stat points.

Due to hitting level 5, You now have access to the Medicine and Skill shops.

I put both points into dexterity and decide to leave checking the shops out for later, when I find a spot to rest at. I make use of my high speed and run through the city, Killing any zombies I see along the way, gaining a decent amount of points. Speaking of which, I haven't checked my status recently, so I decide to check it out.

'Status'

Name: Twelve Strength: 14(17) Intelligence: 12 Title 1: N/A Age: 12 Speed: 28(30) Endurance: 10(12) Title 2: N/A Gender: Female Dexterity: 16 Vitality: 550 Title 3: N/A Race: Vampire Progenitor Level: 5 Class: N/A Points: 825

Damn! I have so many points now! My speed is also insanely high right now, which would explain why I am so fast. I move 3 times faster than an average person would. After I finish checking my status I continue running while killing zombies. I start heading towards the city center, hoping I can find more zombies there. When I reach the city center, I instantly notice the increase in zombies. The first group I run into has around 30 zombies, which is a lot already.

I take out two machetes instead of using my daggers, because I don't want to be too close to that many zombies. I run over to the group of zombies while holding my machetes start madly swinging them around, Tearing zombies apart with ease. There were multiple times when I got scratched by zombies, though the wounds instantly healed. It seems my healing is godly, so long as I don't take any fatal wounds, I should heal pretty fast. I continue cutting the zombies down until there is no more.

You have leveled up to 6! You have gained 2 free stat points.

I place both points into Dexterity and start looting the corpses. I find 3 white treasure chests and a skill book. Opening the chests, I got another pair of agility boots and 2 pairs of endurance pants. I put them into my storage before having pha check the skill book.

- Shadow Steps: Increase your speed by twofold for 1 minute. Cooldown of 6 hours.

Oh! A very useful skill right here! I instantly learn it and it appears in my skill list, while I get all the knowledge of how to use it properly. After i finish here, I continue running through the city killing zombies, Leveling up a few times and gaining a load of points. By the time I am done killing zombies around me, it is already starting to turn dark, so I decide to find a secure area to spend the night. I wander around and find a house with a sturdy gate, made out of strong metal. It would take me a few slashes with my dagger to cut it, so zombies can't get in without there being a lot of them.

This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

I just jump over the 8-ish meter gate and head inside of the house. There is nobody here, which means they obviously didn't survive, whoever lived here. I find a room with a big bed and no windows and head over and plop down on the bed. I fall asleep quickly and only wake up around 7 hours later.

After I wake up I decide to check my status, to see how much it changed now.

Name: Twelve Strength: 14(17) Intelligence: 12 Title 1: N/A Age: 12 Speed: 28(30) Endurance: 10(12) Title 2: N/A Gender: Female Dexterity: 22 Vitality: 550 Title 3: N/A Race: Vampire Progenitor Level: 8 Class: N/A Points: 1125

I leveled up 3 times and put all my points into dexterity. I think I will get dexterity up to 30 before I start putting points into strength, since speed and dexterity work really well together. I also gained a couple hundred more points, which is always good. I leave the house and run through the city, though I don't find anymore zombies. I decide it is time for me to leave the city, so I head towards one of the city exits, located at the north of the city.

By the time I reach the exit, it has already been 5 hours. I notice that there is a huge amount of zombies blocking the city exit, so I decide to look around to see if I can find any other spots to exit from here without getting caught by the hundred something zombies. I look around and notice that there is a broken path that doesn't have many zombies on it, in contrast to the exit, so I head over to the path. I kill the dozen or so zombies, gaining another 2 chests and continue on this path.

At the end of the path, I notice that it took me out of the city, thankfully. I look around and don't see any zombies around me, so I just casually walk while regaining my stamina a bit, since all that running at full speed drained my stamina quite fast. When I keep walking in the same direction, I ended up getting inside of a forest, since it is in the path.

I enter the forest and keep walking through it and after walking through it for an hour, I feel like it's dangerous so I jump backwards and when I do, I notice a huge beast pounced at the spot I just was. I started sweating a lot, since that pounce would have torn me apart, even with my high stats. I take a closer look at what it was, and it looks like it is a tiger, though I can't be sure.

The beast doesn't let me keep observing it for long, as it lets out a loud roar and starts rushing at me. It's speed is comparable to my own, which is pretty scary. I activate my Shadow Steps and double my speed while taking out both my daggers. I dodge it's rush and stab at it's back with both of my daggers, which only leaves some small cuts on it's fur.

I get dumbfounded since my daggers can cut through steel easily, yet they barely did anything to this tiger. I quickly snap out of it since the tiger is rushing at me again, and this time I jump above it and stab both of my daggers towards it neck, which leave a big gash across it's neck. The beast let's out a pained roar and swipes at me with it's paw, which I parry with my daggers, yet the force behind the strike sent me flying out and crashing into a thick tree.

The sheer force of the crash caused me to spit out a mouthful of blood, but I quickly get to my feet since the beast is coming again. I run at it head on with my full speed and stab both of my daggers at it's face, one going through it's right eye, while the other right into it's nose.

The beast roars out and starts flailing crazily, resulting in my hold on my daggers dropping, and my flying back into a tree again. I spit out another mouthful of blood, and slowly rise to my feet. The beast stops flailing around and starts rushing at me, with my daggers still in it's face. I quickly dodge to the side, it's paw missing me by inches. I jump back and take out my Darksteel Sabre from my storage and stab it towards the beasts middle, Leaving a deep gash in it's body.

The beast stumbles and fall, and I take that chance to quickly stab my sabre towards it's head, penetrating it inside of it's brain instantly killing it. At this time I get a few notifications and I check them while taking my daggers back from the beasts body.

You have leveled up to 9! You have gained 2 free stat points.

You have leveled up to 10! You have gained 2 free stat points.

You have leveled up to 11! You have gained 2 free stat points.

You have leveled up to 12! You have gained 2 free stat points.

I put all 8 points into dexterity, Rising it up to 30. I can feel a massive change in my senses and my reflexes seem to be more natural now. I notice a blue treasure chest beside the beast and I quickly grab it and put it into my storage before I start running from the spot. I know that the smell of the beasts blood will attract more beasts, and I am not in the shape to fight any more beasts yet, as I have not healed completely.

I run for around 10 minutes before I stop at a big thick tree. I quickly climb atop the tree and find a good spot before I start stabbing my daggers into the tree. I make a hole big enough for me to enter and go inside to rest, while taking out the blue chest. I open the chest and a dangerous feeling emerges. I ask Pha to show me the info and what I saw left me surprised and happy.

- Death's Decree: A dagger created for death and nothing more. The dagger is created out of a material called Mithril, aswell as an unknown metal. The dagger can easily cut through the hide of Tier 1 beasts. Wielding the dagger gives you a passive feeling of death, Inflicting those around you with fear.

The dagger can cut through the hide of these beasts, it even says easily! Which is very good for me since I can now use this dagger to quickly gather levels by killing the beasts in this forest. it also inflicts fear, which will make the enemy movements slower, I guess? I peek out of the hole I made in the tree and notice that it is getting darker, so I just decide to sleep inside of this tree.

A few minutes later I got into a comfy position and quickly fall asleep, thanks to the fatigue from that long fight...
