Zombie dungeon
It was with a satisfied smirk on my face that stepped into a secluded alley after I had dropped Mina and Miko at their houses. Both girls had been very grateful and I got a kiss on each cheek and they made me promise we would hang out more often from now on. It was obvious they both were attracted to me and if I noticed it then they sure as hell noticed each other's attraction towards me and had not done a fuss about it. Which spelt good news… for now.
Anyways, it was time for me to grind and with the smirk still in place I used ID: Create an ID: Escape two times each to level them up. I had already used them 2 times and each time I used them they went up by 25% meaning that I only needed to use them 2 more times to level them up and get the Zombie ID.

That done I looked up at the time and saw that it was already five in the afternoon. While I 'wasted' some hours with Mina and Miko in my eyes it had been worth it because I now had two girls that I was sure I was going to hook up with and another one that I was more than sure I was going to end up having sex within two days' time. And if that was how I was going to waste time when I was going to make sure to do it more often.
Moving to more serious thoughts I thought about the Zombie ID. As I was now I knew that I could fight both the normal zombies and Legion Zombies and win, which if I managed to pull off was going to give me a lot of levels right of the get-go. But I needed to be smart about it, which was a given seeing that my INT was high and my WIS was above the average for a human my age.
I didn't really need to worry about the normal zombies since they were very slow and thanks to my DP of Iron Skin they were no threat to me. The Legion Zombie, however, I needed to tread more carefully with it because while slower due to its size it was incredibly strong for a basically First Level boss. I decided that my best bet was to fight the normal zombies in closes quarters and mix close quarters combat and long range combat with the Legion Zombie.
I knew that I was stalling for time and I shook my head slightly. It was not time for me to have doubts. I needed to do this. I knew that logically I was more than ready to face the Zombie ID but I was also aware of the fact that plans rarely survive contact with the enemy and that particular fact was bothering the hell out of me.
Gamer's Mind proved to be the necessary bitch it was when I suddenly felt eerie calm and I raised my hand to the sky. "Let's get this over with. ID Create Zombies," I muttered in annoyance not delusional enough to think that I was way over this task but more annoyed at Gamer's Mind. It practically made the decision for me.
[Bloodlust detected!]
I watched the world bleed into darker colours as the sky turned dark red and the sounds of the city that normally faded into the background disappeared as everything went eerily silent. Not a second later I began to hear the low groans and savage snarls of undead looking to feast on the living and I sighed again as Gamer's Mind shattered the primal fear those sounds evoked on me and I went into auto-pilot.
The first thing I did was to use Reinforcement and since that was activated along with Observe I still had twenty MP I could use without losing it at a steady rate. I then created a Daedric Sword on my right arm which left me with enough MP to use [Flash Step] without worrying. My left hand was free to use Mana Blast in case any zombie got uncomfortably close. Since it cost sixteen MP I was comfortable with using it at a moment's notice.
Not wanting to waste any more time I walked out of the alleyway and not a second later a zombie began to walk awkwardly towards me and I grimaced in disgust at its appearance. Its skin was a greenish grey, chunks of meat were missing on some places and one of its eyes was out of its socket. It was glaring at me with baleful red yes surrounded by sickly yellow sclera and its rotten teeth were shown when it snarled at me.
[Gamer's Mind] overtook the fear and its appearance went to the back burner as I paid more attention to what Observe told me about the zombie.
Zombie. Lvl 8.
A walking corpse. No matter how it died. It hates the living, attacking and eating its flesh. It is very slow but it compensates with superhuman strength, durability and stamina. Individually they aren't a threat but beware of hordes.
HP: 800/800
MP: 50/50
I nodded to myself at the information and quickly stepped towards it. It lunged at me with a snarl of hunger and I easily sidestepped it thanks to my reinforced DEX and did a generic diagonally downward slash at its side, making meat and blood fly. It recoiled and shouted in pain as it twitched away from me but I paid it no attention but focused more on its HP and how much damage I had caused to it with a normal slash attack.
HP: 314/800
I blinked in shock at taking almost 60% of its HP with just one generic attack and my mind quickly went through the calculations and after a few seconds, a grin so wide that it almost split my face in half appeared. It seems like at least with bladed weapons the total damage output depended on the base damage of the weapon and much STR and DEX I had. The most like calculation that went there was the base damage of the weapon I was using plus the total amount of STR and the result of that multiplied by the total amount of DEX.
I can definitely work with that.
I flash stepped towards it and rammed my weapon into its face ignoring the critical hit massage that appeared right after I did so. I backed away and pulled my blade out of its head and I watched it twitch erratically as the zombie's HP steadily went down until it reached zero and when that happened it stopped moving and fell forward, hitting the concrete of the street face first. A second later it disappeared in a cloud of purple smoke that smelled disgustingly like piss and shit. Ugh.
I noticed that it awarded me with almost 20% of XP it left some loot and I was about to move towards it to see what I have gotten when I heard more groans and snarls and I turned towards further forward on the street and I saw at least twenty zombies moving slowly but purposely towards me. They would be on me in less than a minute and I didn't want to be caught off guard and had the zombies not been such blatant and slow opponents that would've happened due to my interest in the loot.
It only took me a few seconds to recall a feature that would help me solve that problem and I smirked at the incoming zombies. "Enable Auto-Loot," I said and I watched as the loot from the first zombie I killed disappeared and on the lower left corner of my HUD, an icon in the form of a back with a red six-pointed start appeared wiggling occasionally. I would be best to leave that option enabled always so nobody asked why corpses would leave item after they were killed. The fact that they would disappear out of nowhere would be suspicious enough.
My full attention on the incoming mob of zombies I grinned and brandished my sword. With an application of [flash step], I appeared before them taking them off guard with my speed and a swing of my weapon later the second zombie of the session was killed with an obviously critical hit. My foot lashed out in a roundhouse kick once I settled on the ground and I sent a third zombie off the ground into two of its brethren while my free hand unleashed a Mana Blast that sent three others away scrambling ridiculously.
I saw that the zombies I had not killed had received significant damage but not as much as a normal strike of my blade. I knew that I could kill them all in minutes if I used my long range skills but I had a grinding plan in which I would use purely short-mid range combat against this one and deal with the boss at long range. That way I'll be able to grind both sets of skills safely and at the same pace more or less.
Grin turning positively savage I stared at the suddenly not-so-sure-of-getting-a-easy-meal group of zombies. I stood still with my arms cross together and activated [Limbo paradise], Summoning 5 windows, appearing in their midst were my armaments made from the skill [weapon creation].
"Behold and acknowledge my greatness, Mongrels!"
With a wave of my hand, the armaments flicked around aiming their points at the zombies, I then snapped my fingers issuing the order to kill. The windows then fired my armaments at the zombie with breaknecking speed.
One word to describe it all.
