Chapter 1: The Loner.
Kris abruptly awoke from his horrendous nightmare with dull eyes and an expressionless face.
His pale skin was soaked in sweat and his clothing was drenched. He stared at the ceiling of the building he was located for a brief period before turning his head to the left.
At his side was on empty space. There was no wall that would stopped him from rolling of the building in his sleep and dieing.
"Huh?" He inquired uncannily with a serious and lazy expression and tone. "I didn't die?"
"Well, from the look of that dream, it seems like my parents are actually dead," said Kris, recalling the dreadful dream.
He got up and placed his foot at the edge. Then slowly he tossed the other forward.
At that moment he fell to his death. His body crashed against the ground hard and crushed into meaty remains. A pile of blood and flesh stained the road below.
[You have died!]

[You are alive!]
Kris suddenly spawned at a store; a clothing store. Outside was surrounded by a horde of zombies called Rotten.
They didn't notice Kris as he walked into the store. When he closed the store shut, they notice the sound and began to flock at the doorway. But Kris didn't care.
He was also naked. After he used the titles effect he had respawned without the clothing that he wore, since they didn't count as equipment.
"Hmm," he pondered. "Let's look at my status real quick. I forgot how many points I have in my stats."

"So I've killed 121 frogs?" Kris inquired to himself. "I'll use them when I really need them."
Kris ventured deeper into the store without equipment. Little did he know what was inside.
He picked pretty average clothes. A black rip-jeans and a white shirt with black text on it. He had no taste in outfits, or he just didn't care about how much he look. Who would when their in an apocalypse?
He put them at the place he stood and now he had on clothing.
"Eerrr!" A mindless creature growled.
"Huh?" Kris inquired as he turned around instantly. "Are their Rotten in here? How did I sense them with my boost intelligence?"
He scanned the room but saw nothing. The growling got closer and closer until it was right at his ears.
Suddenly, he pushed the air at his right were the sound was coming from. When he did, the air crashed against the nearby objects. Was that even air.
"[Soul Appraisal]!" Kris shouted with a plain face.

Sparks of flames suddenly immerged from nothingness and began to surround Ken. They immerged as small lights, but now they were flickering weakling as flames and sparks of fire.
"This could be a great chance to level up this skill," said Kris with emotionless tone.
Suddenly, a horde of growls could be heard. They engulfed the vide of the room, making it eerie.
This didn't affect Kris by the slightest.
The air around began to catch ablaze. He walked without a care up to the second floor of the room.
"Their must be boss up here. That'll explain why all the zombies are invisible here," thought Kris aloud.
[You have killed a Rotten!]

[Exp: 1,146/1,600]
As he ventured up the stairs, the more kills he got and the more mastery he got. But without Kris Mana run out? Yes!
When he finally reached the top floor. Up there, he could clearly hear the groans of the dead and the decayed.
"It smells like crap up here," he said while covering his nose. "Huh?"
Suddenly, a giant creature appeared inside Kris Ember Squall wall. It was zombie, that was 9 feet tall and fatter then a boulder. It wore a fury cap on its back and two rings around its right hand. It was obviously the boss.
The wall of floating fire disappeared.
But where was Kris?
[Sonic Acceleration was activated]
"That was unexpected," said Kris emotionless voice.
"Grr?" The monster inquired in a shocked voice and expression.
Kris was seated on top of the boss's head. He then jumped off its head and knee it in its face.
[-15 HP]
The boss suffered a few amounts of damage but that was alright.
[Soul Appraisal has been activated!]
"I believe you are the boss," said Kris while walking towards the creature.
[-42 MP]
[MP: 237/401]
Now that Ember Squall is deactivated Kris wouldn't lose any more Mana.
Kris took up one of the hanger that held up clothing in his hand. He wield as a dagger and as if he was an skilled assassin.
[Weapon Master has been activated!]
"I wonder how much experience I'll get from you," said Kria as he approached the creature.
