"Yo Lix!" A curly blond haired man called out.
"What is it Pat?" replied Lix
"When are ya going to get interested in ladies? All of them have been asking me all day!" Huffed Pat.
"We're in the apocalypse." Lix sighed.
"Who cares! Have some fun while your still alive!"
"Ugh, I don't have much more time to deal with you, I'm going out to scavenge."
Lix waved to the guards, guarding the entrance of the abandoned church. Lix went to a local convenience store and grabbed a few items. Just as he was heading back, he heard a noise.
He hid on a rooftop and peeked over. He saw a beautiful young lady in a weird outfit, fending off against 2 mutants. She was cursing under her breath.
"What is he doing?" The girl said to herself.
He watched as the yellowed eyed mutant zombie, started charging up for an attack. Lix saw the zombie suddenly shoot lasers out of their eyes.
"What the?! When did zombies have laser eyes?!!!" Lix thought.
The lady had a "What the heck" expression and wrapped her whip around the zombies neck. She then pulled herself up with all her strength.
Lix whistled.
"That was pretty cool if I got to say so myself." Thought Lix.
The fight continued on, and at one point. One of the mutants got a hold of her robe and flunk her across the street.
"Ouch..." Lix grimaced.
What impressed him is that, the lady that looked like she had a thin body got up. Then she suddenly looked around the rooftops as if someone was there.
"Did she notice me?" Lix thought.
Lix was able to hide his presence to a certain extent. Only ability users with a detect skill could sense him. But if she had a detect skill, Then how does it explain her strength and movements? Did she have multiple abilities? If so, that was something interesting he could look into.
Lix continued observing her, when the mutant fell. The girl looked like she was about to collapse, but she made a dead sprint into the woods. Lix wanted to know what happened, but he lost track of her.
"Hmm.. I wonder if I could see her again..." Pondered Lix.

Hazel POV
"Urgh..." Hazel woke up with a foggy mind.
"What happened?" she thought.
"You defeated the mutant then ran back after seeing their was someone watching you." replied the system.
"Oh."
Hazel sat up in the shrub. Her hair was matted in dirt and she had cuts from the shrub.
"Do you have a free cleaning service?" she asked.
"We do, but we charge it for one point."
"Never mind then."
Hazel got up and went out of the shrub. She saw the sun just beginning to disappear behind the mountain.
"System, how long was I out?"
"About 5 hours."
"Huh, That was shorter then I thought."
Hazel tried to run a bit, but she felt a pain in her ribs.
"Ribs are broken aren't they?"
"Yes, but you can fix them for 2 points! If you leave it like that, it might heal wrongly leaving you handicapped."
"How much points do I have?"
"2."
"...Fine."
"Ding! Brought (Rib healing) for 2 points!"
Hazel felt much better, so she got out of the park and wondered around the homes outside of the town. She saw a relatively normal house, so she went in. After confirming their were no zombies she grabbed a pail and went to the well outside.
She took it back, and put it in the bathtub eventually filling it up. Hazel bathed all the dirt off from her and the system asked her a question.
"Do you have a wish?"
"Mmm.. not really. All the people I cared about either turned on me, or died." Hazel said with a lazy tone.
"Do you want something to spice up your life a bit?"
"Well kinda yeah, I mean I have nothing to do. I can only get stronger. I don't even have anyone to protect. But why are you asking this?"
"Because I have been asked by my superiors to install something. Seeing you also agree, I will allow it."
"Huh? What are you going to install?"
"Ding! The system is offline to install the package, "System Missions". The system will be out of service for 10:00 hours."
"...What? M-Missions?"
"Wait come to think of it." She thought. "Most protagonists had missions to complete. But why did it come so late?... Oh well, I should just stay safe, since the system isn't here right now."
Hazel put on her clothes, and was impressed on how to clothes clean themselves in minutes. She grabbed a blanket, said sorry to the owners and slept on the coach.
