《The Iron Nuntius》 Zombies + Waking Up = Not so good start ''Can''t these fucking people just shut up?'' Ezekiel Riverman who was still groggy after being waked up by loud noises couldn''t help it and cursed at the supposed "people".He sat up straight and massaged his temples with a solid cringe because something was being a total dick and kept thumping on his cell door. "WOULD IT KILL YOU TO SHU-!?" In front of him was something rather disturbing, a person? Or something with a head nearly falling off if it wasn''t for the little bit of skin on their necks, was still trying to be noisy in front of him releasing deep and gluttaral inhumane noises. [Lvl 12 Zombie Inmate] [HP:250/250] [Your usual zombie who eats brains, or anything fleshy from the living in particular] Ezekiel inhaled cold air and gulped as sweat started dropping from the side of his head, having no air conditioner was also a part of why he was sweating but most importantly aside from the zombie outside his cell another thing popped just in front of him. [Lvl 0 Ezekiel Riverman] [HP:15/15] [MP:20/20] [Would you like to be teleported to the tutorial zone? Y/N] ''Oooh Boi, I think I know where this is going'' Ezekiel quickly tapped no and took out a metal pipe below his bed that he stored for "talking" purposes when his "friends" were with him. He glanced above his door and saw that the indicator was green and his door was unlocked, the zomie would''ve gotten inside if it wasn''t closed. He then slowly approached the zombie and tried a few things. ''First, does zombie guy see? Or is he a blind listener?'' Ezekiel tapped the right most part of his cell door with the pipe and the zombie immediately went to the souce of the sound thumping on it. ''Hmm, so they''re blind? Why was he in front of my jail then?'' Ezekiel pondered about it and glanced at the green indicator again, after a few more seconds of both thinking why and how he smirked and a sense of victory flowed through him. [Intelligence +1 Wisdom +1] ''I''m smart already system, but thanks anyways'' Ezekiel then took a stone from the corner of his jail room and closed one eye while aiming, after a few seconds of adjustment he whipped his right arm back while raising his left foot and inhaled. ''Bingo'' Ezekiel stepped forward and bended his body in a way that he could exert more throwing power from his right arm followed by an exhale, the stone flew accurately in between the cell door all the way to a room a little bit far away from where he was. The zombie growled and followed the sound so he took the chance to silently open the cell door, but sadly, sneaky sneaky wasn''t approved by the world. [Skill obtained Throwing] [Throwing: Throws something] [Strength +1 Dexterity +1] "Oh, what a kind system~ Learn a thing or two from him why don''cha cell door?" ''Well, it could''ve gone worse...oh, it did huh?'' Right in front of Ezekiel was the zombie inmate who returned because of the sound from the door, it was not like in the movies and the tension was really keeping him grounded. He willed himself to move and move he did though not in the way most people would expect. He rushed forward and smacked the ugly thing in the neck succesfully removing the oh-so-close-to-falling head permanently.The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. [You have slain a Zombie Inmate 6,500 exp] [+6 levels] "Heh, when life gives you lemons eh?" Ezekiel went closer to the double dead undead and saw it disperse into many different white lights. He had a look of disappointment and clicked his tongue while also throwing away the metal pipe he held. "The zombie could''ve been a wonderful meat shield, somehow...probably but other than that the this...thing it dropped is also practically useless and impossible to wield" But he still touched it regardless and he was surprised that it disappeared on touch giving him an extra few more windows. [New weapon obtained] [Necromace] [Requirements: Strength 25] [Damage: 40-50] [A mace of...well necromancers? It can inflict 5-10 extra damage if it hits a living being] "Oooh, kinky. Other than that can you please show me my stats?" [Lvl 6 Ezekiel Riverman] [Dungeon: Necromancer''s Prison] [17 years old] [Strength: 13] [Dexterity: 15] [Agility: 15] [Constituton: 11] [Intelligence: 18] [A outstanding youth, who brought outstanding to bit more literal term by out standing his uncle who attempted to rape his little sister in a fight that broke out after the little girl shouted for help. This gave him a solid land in secure confinement for a few years because his uncle could no longer stand after the fight] The window in front him, answering his request changed from the previous window into a detailed window about Ezekiel and his stats. He stared at them for a bit before sighing and scratching his head. "Well, if he was in this place, maybe he could stand again? I''d still beat him though~" Ignoring his flying thoughts, Ezekiel took a look at his surrounding and found a guide in a nearby wall. "From the fact that the zombie was in front of my jail room at that time despite me sleeping, I guess he was attracted by the sound of the indicator opening. Hmm, so that means someone...went and opened the locks for each room, it would be useless info but judging from the time range that I woke up it was just opened recently?" Ezekiel was cranking his 18 intelligence to it''s maximum by trying to figure out some questionable stuff, mainly the fact that if the locks were just opened, and the loud thuds and crashes from before were the other inmates escaping... "Where are they now?" Ezekiel stared at the guide again and remembered a certain something from his memories. ''The only safe place aside from...well anywhere else in this place would be the roof or basement, but which one are they on? Oh, no wait!'' Ezekiel''s calm and nonchalant expression suddenly went desperate as he ran quickly to the nearest cell and checked the the jail windows from there. After a few minutes of staring at nothing his previous demeanor changed and he slumped down near the bed. "FUCK! They already left how the fuck did I not notice?!" Ezekiel gritted his teeth and clenched his fist in anger, the missing vehicles already proved that the others escaped this zombie infested place and he was left...alone? ''Huh...wait a minute, game systems? Zombies...with levels?'' Ezekiel opened his status and quickly read the one just below his name. ''Dungeon? Is a Dungeon something we can only...enter alone or...?'' The system in answer to Ezekiel''s question showed a window. [Dungeons can only be entered upon once you are of a suitable level] "...So where the hell is everyone? Or no, WHY am I here?!" The window made a few glitchy waves and sounds as he asked that, it chagned from being a blue window to a yellow window and words could be heard accompanied by texts. [So then Mr.Riverman?] "Ugh, what now? And don''t call me that!" [Ok then Mr.Riverman, I am the...what''s the word...overseer for your planet over here and I can see that you''re a very splendid young man, now please state your questions?] Ezekiel raised his left eyebrow as the so called overseer told him to state his questions, simply if he could ask any questions then it''s an op power on it''s own because he could just ask how to be extremely op right off the bat. But if the question is only based on his current situation then there could only be one. Taking chances he asked the overseer immediately. "How do I become powerful quickly?" [Excuse me that was not your question, but I''ll answer still, to make the only person in a dungeon like this at lvl 0 a little happy~] [A necromancer owns this place and you can learn a thing or two if you do things right. Also, once you reach level 10, something special opens up and you must prioritize survivability above all else. Now your question please?] "So...I unlock something at level 10 and Necromancy if I beat the boss of this dungeon? Ok, nice tips. Now, WHERE IS EVERYONE?" [For a person who is as smart as you...how could you not know the answer?] The voice in yellow text sounded a bit sarcastic and worried while talking making Ezekiel cringe because he hates being seen as dumb above all else. "Just skip to the point! Where are the others? Did they leave me here? Are they all zombies? C''mon!" [They''re all in the tutorial...Now goodbye Mr.Riverbrain] [New skill obtained Fury] [Fury - Temporarily increases strength and constitution in exchange for losing intelligence] ''I tapped no...'' And thus begins Ezekiel''s awkward start on a new reality where death is not the end it seems, because undead''s exist hah! If they dont breathe, they will never breathe! The sound of growling zombies, not a treat for the ears, can be heard just right outside the hallway of my starting zone. ''I can''t just bust out my big dick and fight out there...but I really need that exp for the level 10'' I opened my windows and kept checking my stats, wondering why I had no stat points to distribute, it hadn''t really struck me as odd the first few minutes but now that I had the liberty to think wasn''t that something terribly bad? [Lvl 6 Ezekiel Riverman] [Dungeon: Necromancer''s Prison] [17 years old] [Strength: 13] [Dexterity: 15] [Agility: 15] [Constituton: 11] [Intelligence: 18] ''Yip, there''s no attribute points! Hooray to a noob who didn''t click yes to the tutorial!'' Goddamnit, the only way out of this, or no the only way to salvage my shitty beginnings are by...sadly working hard. I took the metal pipe that I threw before due to the rush of whatever ran through my brain at the time and for some reason, it finally showed a window. [Death Metal Pipe] [Damage 10-15] [A pipe, made of metal, and well it has death in it''s name so it''s something...I guess?] ''Wow, that is one informative shit right there, my intelligence rised by 100 by reading that~'' Other than those, the damage was sadly very, unimpressive. Those zombies had like, what? 250 health? And the whole damn thing can deal about 240 damge in 16 hits, yeah that''s right 16 hits on a single zombie and it''s still wouldn''t kill it! I checked the previous pun-filled weapon and aside from the requirements it was a solid weapon, but I can''t use it, or can I? [Strength: 13] I remembered my skill, specifically [Fury] could increase strength and constitution temporarily, by how much is the question though? [Fury activated] I felt a sudden rush of anger that came out of nowhere, or technically, it came from the system. I just wanted to smash that fucking zombie and rip it to shreds while stepping on it''s grave. But remembering the important part I checked the increase it gave me.The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. [Strength: 18] [Constitution: 16] ''5 points each huh? Plenty enough considering it-'' "FUCKING ZOMBIES!" Huh, what the fuck did I just do? From deep inside me an anger that I could not control made me shout out loud. The rush of anger was one thing but why did I shout? [Intelligence: 5] Oh, 15 points decrease, hulk smash? "OH HELL NO!" Just then a few deep growls that we''re already accustomed to started getting louder and louder, the zombies were obviously attracted by my shout. I, who was hiding behind a wall beside the main door to the canteen suddenly had the urge to come out and play and play I did. My body was as hard to stop as the sperm when you masturbate and try to stop the "coming" [Lvl 12 Zombie Inmate] [HP:250/250] When I saw the indicators of the first zombie start showing, my mind lost the ability to think rationally and I tackled the dead thing back to it''s supposed postion, in the grave. Not stopping there, I took my current weapon and started bashing the damnable thing in the head, or more to the fact that I actually started stabbing it with the pipe. [-15] [-10] [-10] [-15] [Lvl 12 Zombie Inmate] [HP:200/250] I glanced quickly at it''s decreasing HP and watched the approaching 3 zombies from the outside, I dealt a total of...I don''t care. JUST KEEP BASHING! [-15] [-15] ... [You have slain a Zombie Inmate 6,500 exp] [+3 Levels] Just as I finished bashing the thing to mushy paste the other 3 finally arrived near me, they were pathetically slow and my bashing was pretty fast so I killed the zombie first before dying. I wanted to run but [Fury] was very angry and I charged at the farthest of the 3 baby zombies. Despite me losing quite a bit of intelligence, I could clearly see the that the nearest 2 were very crippled and would have a hard time grabbing me. "DIE ZOMBIEEEEE!" I brought the zombie by it''s neck and brought all the way to the other side of the hallway, giving me plenty more time to bash the thing to splitereens. [You have slain a Zombie Inmate 6,500 exp] [You leveled up] "NOW YOUR TURN!" I charged at the most crippled one of the slow pathetic zombies and placed it''s neck at the nearest cell door before, well using the door to bash it. Bash, Bash, Bash. [You have slain a Zombie Inmate 6,500 exp] ''No level up? Bummer-!? Damn'' [-55] Ignoring the very ouchie bite on my neck, I pulled the zombie that managed to bite me and strangle it. It''s neck was nearly off so the strangle of a 18 strength teen was enough to kill it, and apparently it was also just in time with [Fury] running out. A calm, soothing feeling came over me. No, it wasn''t cum but rather a level up. [You have slain a Zombie Inmate 6,500 exp] [You leveled up] "Phew, what level am I now?" As if on cue another window appeared in front of me, this time it wasn''t the usual blue color but it was white. Based on my memories yellow was probably for something important and blue was the usual [Congratulations for reaching level 10] [You may now use your attribute points and trait points] [Use them wisely] "Huh..." A eerie silence went over me as the realization was late, I heard there was traffic. Jokes aside, the zombies I''ve killed turned into white lights and disappeared dropping something but my mind wasn''t on that. In front of me was something, very, very unusual from the usual systems. [Magic Potential - Gives the ability to learn magic cost: 2 trait point] [Uncanny Strength - Adds permanent 5 points into strength ost 1 trait point] [Angry Man - Adds extra 5 points increase in Str and Con when using Fury cost 1 trait point] [Photographic Memory - Remember everything you see once cost 1 trait point] [Undead Lover - Inclines you to the dark arts cost 5 trait point] [Trait Points - 11] "What the fuck is this?" Necromancers arent unique bro Previously, big boy Ezekiel bashed his way to level 11 with 5 intelligence and a lot of strength, after he recovered he found a new list called ''Traits'' for him to be confused about. Also he can now use his attribute points, jolly. [Magic Potential - Gives the ability to learn magic cost: 2 trait point] [Uncanny Strength - Adds permanent 5 points into strength ost 1 trait point] [Angry Man - Adds extra 5 points increase in Str and Con when using Fury cost 1 trait point] [Photographic Memory - Remember everything you see once cost 1 trait point] [Undead Lover - Inclines you to the dark arts cost 5 trait point] [Trait Points - 11] I scaned the new, interesting and absolutely weird list in front of me, I didn''t pay much attention to it for now because my attribute points were the priority. "Cool, now stats please?'' [Lvl 11 Ezekiel Riverman] [Dungeon: Necromancer''s Prison] [HP: 245/300] [MP: 100/100] [Strength: 13] [Dexterity: 15] [Agility: 15] [Constituton: 11] [Intelligence: 18] [Stat points - 11] "Finally! Put em'' all to strength!" [Strength: 24] Looking at my newly energzing strength, I also felt an addciting substance flow through me with vigor. My muscles grew and my energy felt like it was a shaked coke in a can that''s threatning to blow apart the entire face of the drinker. The reason I went full strength was because...uh...Necromace seemed interesting? [Fury activated] A sudden burst of even more strength made me nearly faint in pleasure. Keeping the urge of not- [Strength: 29] [Intelligence: 5] "ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMBIES!" [Equipped Necromace] Again, with the feeling of not being able to stop my body, I charged outside the canteen and- BASH BASH BASH BASH! [-50] [-50] ... [You have slain a Zombie Inmate 6,500 exp] [You have slain a Zombie Inmate 6,500 exp] [You have slain a Zombie Inmate 6,500 exp] [You leveled up] [You have slain a Zombie Inmate 6,500 exp] [You have slain a Zombie Inmate 6,500 exp] [You have slain a Zombie Inmate 6,500 exp] [You have slain a Zombie Inmate 6,500 exp] [You leveled up] ... In total, there was roughly 20 slow zombies in the canteen and I think this Necromace was worth it after all, with strength surpassing the requirements and the fury, I managed to deal a consistent 50. If those were living beings my damage would be pretty high for my level. The mace itself wasn''t a normal mace, it was around 2 meter tall and both the handle and mace were a meter each. I was a solid 6''3 boy with a natural knack for smashing things and well, this happened.Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. [Lvl 14 Ezekiel Riverman] [Dungeon: Necromancer''s Prison] [HP: 100/450] [MP: 100/100] [Strength: 24] [Dexterity: 15] [Agility: 15] [Constituton: 11] [Intelligence: 18] [Stat points - 3] I raised 3 levels from that onslaught and it seems that when I got past the same level it required more and more to level up. Just like normal games. "But, still. ALL TO STRENGTH~" [Strength: 27] The usefulness of the mace and the fact that I can now wield it without being frenzy was pretty nice, aside from my smell. I picked up all the things that they dropped a total of 25 random stuff this dungeon gave. [Leather Boots] [Armor - 10] [A leather boots from well, out of my ass. It''s kinda comfy] ''Gotta wear that then, barefoot since the start is getting a little rub on my bad side now. [Equipped Leather Boots] There were a few items such a [Leather Vest] and [Metallic Jeans] also importantly it gave [Fur Neck Sleeveless Shirt] which was a nice change of clothes compared to the dirty rug like jail clothes. [Leather Vest] [Armor - 10] [A vest made of leather, pretty cool. Not cool in a desert though] [Metallic Jeans] [Armor - 15] [Jeans with a tad of metal in it, although this is kinda impossible it works here in system land. Consider it something similar to a kevlar jacket but it''s metal] [Fur Neck Sleeveless Shirt] [Armor - 5] [Some fancy dandy shirt with a fur on it''s neck part, itchy? Nah, it''s skin friendly stuff. It looks cool with a something on top of it though] "This system...is indeed a little entertaining?" I equipped all of those and went to a nearby cell to check on myself in a mirror. "Boy, oh boy~ Who''s this dandy son of a gun in here?" A 6''3, 17 year old with red hair styled into a normal anime like hair with it''s bangs parting more to the left, a face that can make woman salivate with a perfect chin and blue eyes to make a distinct contrast with the hair. Sleeveless shirt that makes my well built muscles show and a vest to finish it making me look like some gang boss who lifts, my jeans, were well... jeans and the boots was higher than my ankles making it look, out of place. "Damn, boots are a turn-off" I thought of going barefoot again but, comfort over style I guess? After staring at myself for a few more seconds I decided to think about my life, more importantly my traits or whatever it''s called. ''Hmm, now back to that interesting screen...'' The white window appeared in front of me and shockingly, the traits I could learn increased? [Magic Potential - Gives the ability to learn magic cost: 2 trait point] [Uncanny Strength - Adds permanent 5 points into strength ost 1 trait point] [Angry Man - Adds extra 5 points increase in Str and Con when using Fury cost 1 trait point] [Photographic Memory - Remember everything you see once cost 1 trait point] [Undead Lover - Inclines you to the dark arts cost 5 trait point] [Mace, Meet Face - Any mace you wield gets an increased 10 damage cost 1 trait point] [Tyson Genes - Punching deals more damage, an uppercut would deal critical if landed on the head cost 5 trait points] [Perfect Abs- Or body - Gives you perfect 6 packs and a very impressive, not overly ripped, but perfect toned body cost 1 trait point] [Wolf Ears - Enhanced sense of hearing, but you gets cute wolfy ears~ NO HUMAN EARS cost 5 trait points] [Trait Points - 14] "I shouldn''t have looked...Actually, is this thing unique for everyone or do we all get wolf ears?" [...] Seeing the system actually turn yellow and show me a triple dot, I got a little annoyed. Apparently this overseer want an overbeating. [Oh, sorry were you serious?] "Oh, not at all~ Hahaha~YES" I made a happy go lucky face that quickly went stoic after a few seconds of laughing. The yellow screen in front of me turned back to blue and then back to yellow after I said yes, this dude was about to actually believe I wasn''t. [Yes, Mrs.Riverbrain, those traits are unique for pretty much everyone.] "So not everyone gets wolf ears?" [Yes, and also not everyone gets Magic Potential. It seems you are really blessed~ It would make clearing this low level dungeon easier no?] "Oh, so not everyone is a mage either? Cool...There''s none of those nobility privillege right?" [There is, it''s called traits. TRAITS. Now then Mrs.Riverbrain I believe I''ve answered your question, goodbye~] The yellow screen soon disappeared with a glitchy effect and the unsual trait screen came back, even now I still wonder why that guy answers my question even though he''s some sort of mod or GM. What a kind community. Staring back at my traits, I decided my path already the moment he said not everyone will be mages. "I''ll take Uncanny Strength and Angry Man because they synergize well with what I currently have, also take Tyson Genes and the abs thingy. and finally wolf ears and photographic memory!" After leaning several traits, a new window opened called ''Trait Tree'' and just like it sounds, it''s a tree or more like a list of my current traits. [Uncanny Strength - Adds permanent 5 points into strength] [Angry Man - Adds extra 5 points increase in Str and Con when using Fury] [Photographic Memory - Remember everything you see once] [Tyson Genes - Punching deals more damage, an uppercut would deal critical if landed on the head] [Perfect Abs- Or body - Gives you perfect 6 packs and a very impressive, not overly ripped, but perfect toned body] [Wolf Ears - Enhanced sense of hearing, but you gets cute wolfy ears~ NO HUMAN EARS] "ARGHHHHH!" I shouted, and shat. In extreme pain, my ears were actually going back inside my head and the hole itself closed, and a pair of canine ears sprouted from the top of my head, upward. They were the standing ears type and it was the same color as my hair, the fur I mean. I also felt my fist growing a little bigger and tougher. The feeling of gaining strength was there somewhere but the pain of my body getting a major make-over made the pleasure overtaken by pain. After shouting for a few more minutes I laid in the floor, lethargic and regretful as fuck. "I wonder... if taking.. magic potential also hurts...heh" I stood up, or more like crawled myself up and went to check myself in a mirror. The same old beautiful me but, the twist is I look better. The wolf ears were literally something that made me look EVEN better. It looked like having a hair that stood up and the my body, with the sleeveless showed muscles that wasn''t as big as the body builders but it was perfect as fuck. ''Now...for the main reason I took this trait'' I lifted my shirt... "OH, YEAH~" Six Packs BABY, let the girls drop their panties with these bad buns. His sister cant possibly be this lucky?! "GAWRR!" An angry sounding growl from behind me made a wolf''s presence know, I quickly leaped to the right without looking back and girl was I right because a wolf lunged towards my previous position. "Stinky Wolfie!" I pointed the magical glass ball in my hands to the wolf, or more like, I hurled the damn thing to the wolf making it fly through him and land of the grass beneath. [You have slain a Tutorial Wolf 1,000 exp] "Naisuu~ Counter~ Alyshia!" An annoying voice complimented me from behind, knowing who it is, I immediately jumped back and went to the direction of the annoying female voice. "Of course it''s nice, I''m me after all~" "Ergh, You should fix that mightier than thou attitude of yours..." I smirked at her obviously cringed expression and proudly thumped my still growing chest, with pride. "Never had to, my brother did all the finishing touches to whoever was offended-..." "He''s not here right now is he!" She shouted the last bit just as she was slashing a nearby wolf that tried to attack her, in fact we have been surrounded by wolves for a few minutes now and our supposed tank wasn''t working properly, he''s out cold and we had to take care of 3 wolves, well only 1 remained now. "You want the kill, princess?" My friend, the girl with the katana who I''ve been speaking with as of now, who was named Shirley pointed her katana at the terrified wolf with tails on it''s belly signalling if I wanted the kill or no. Who would say no to that? After all getting out of this tutorial would be a damn blessing. I threw my new magical glass ball, which is actually just mana condensed and threw it at the wolf. [You have slain a Tutorial Wolf 1,000 exp] "How many would we have to kill to level up now?" I asked, or grumbled silently but still it was a question meant for whoever had ears to listen to me. Well, it was our laying down tank who just woke up. "They''re level 4, we''ll need a few more I guess" This dude was one of Shirley''s friend who was only in our party because no one wanted him and we needed a meatshield. He casually placed a hand on my shoulder and this was unacceptable, aside from my brother, no male has ever really touched me...because of him, he beats them up. Just like a prey who gets warned that a predator is near, he quickly lifted his arms and had a very sorry expression. "Your lucky he isn''t here eh?" Shirley placed a hand on his shoulder, ironic. "Definitely" I snorted at his reply, what''s so good about my dearest brother not being here? Ignoring them, I went and opened the now so familliar system. [Lvl 4 Alyshia Riverman] [Tutorial Zone: Green Plains]Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Secretly a bro-con, but due to her highly proud of acting skills, not even her brother knows of how much she wants to bed him] ''I''ll have to NOT let anyone see this part, like, NO WAY IN HELL'' I sighed and flicked my beyond gorgeous and perfect pinkish red hair to the side, I like the system but the last bits were too off, I don''t want to bed him! Maybe just...lay on his chest or something...I felt my cheeks and ears heating up at the thought of my brother''s chest~ kyaaaa~ "Alyshia?" Then it was interrupted, by an annoying voice, damn it Shirley, eat a dick or something! "What?" I replied in an obviously annoyed tone, she just shrugged and smirked. ''I swear to god! You bitch, you fucking knew you were interrupting my thoughts how dare you!'' "Well, let''s go back now. Our parents should be worried." The world was no longer the same as before, if the windows didn''t make it obvious anyways. Everyone was given a prompt about tutorials and of course we would press yes, who wouldn''t? I mean even old people and about most of the population is in this place. No matter where you looks it''s grass plains all the way to japan. It''s like this place was a grass plain as big as the earth. Pretty but boring unless we count the portal looking things that brings us to another grass plain that has monsters instead. "But still...where is he?" ... "Garrrraw" A very familiar slow walking ugly thing was raising it''s head about to bite an overly fabulous young man thinking it was free food but- "Eagle Punch~" A right hook, very fast, cleanly made the zombie head burst like a tomato. [You have slain a Zombie Inmate 6,500 exp] In a hallway, countless zombies were pouring out of a corner but despite this, the man had a prideful smirk at his face as he cracked his knuckles, he wore a gauntlet the covered half his arms a little short of reaching his elbows. It was silverish and the knuckle bits had spikes on them. His eyes started glowing red and he dashed towards the many numbers of zombies that were coming his way for some reason. ... "Phew, darn it. I''m a messy fighter huh?" I looked backed at the hallway full of glowing lights and at myself who was covered by many things unknown. Wait, is that a dick stuck in my boots?! I kicked it off and proceeded to sigh and lay down of the floor. My body was obviously tired, no matter how much fucking levels this gives me, I AM TIRED!

The plus 5 to strength of my trait made me blow those things to bits!'' I struggled to stand up and instead opened my white window of traits. [Magic Potential - Gives the ability to learn magic cost: 2 trait point] [Undead Lover - Inclines you to the dark arts cost 5 trait point] [Mace, Meet Face - Any mace you wield gets an increased 10 damage cost 1 trait point] [Trait Points - 6] My cutely looking wolf ears moved in joy as I found myself not getting anything good! Yeah, right. It actually feels weird to have this ears but it drooped not in joy obviously. I''ve been fighting hundred of those zombie inmates and 6 levels is all it gave me. "I wonder if this dungeon will have anything more to give?" Huh, oh crap. Jinx me why don''t I~ From the room or hallway I was in. I could hear a certain, inhumane or inzombie growl. This ears were a blessing both in looks and usefulness but the way it tells my mood was a bad thing, I was easy to read casually. Anyways, I could hear something from the room next to the next of this hallway. Curiosity kills the wolf so I went towards the noice, and ignored my traits because nothing was good and I don''t like the pain Magic Potential might give at the moment. "It''s just right there? I wonder what sort of zombie it is..." I leaned on the wall and crouched slowly on the hallway connecting to the room where the growls started sounding more like air being exhaled. And there, I realized something. Undead doesn''t mean human only. [Lvl 24 Zombie Minotaur] [HP:1250/1250] [An undead minotaur, how''d ya like that unique monster idea huh? Regret it yet?] ''Snarky shit aren''t cha''?'' I gulped the most I can and stared at the hulking things mindlessly walking at the room. It was a crushing 7''9 minotaur with the biggest arms I''ve ever seen. It also has a hammer that served to make me flinch whenever he moved. No matter how confident I am it was against humans and zombie inmates were just that. ''That...however...isn''t normal'' Crap... "MOOO!" It looked at my direction and started grinding it''s hooves?...whatever it was at the ground, oh and I think I''m dead this time...My bad Alyshia~ Too angry too leave Mrs. Fluffles [-360] Oh, what? I''m flying?...Or N-OUCH! THUD! [Lvl 20 Ezekiel Riverman] [HP: 360/950] The now frightening sound of air exhaling made me flinch just after my amazing crash to the wall and landed over here, to a new room. That thing didn''t even flinch when I punched it in the head and it dealt only 50 damage! "Hey~ Big Guy! Care to spare some of your time to hear about- JESUS CHRIST!" The minotaur was a real jackass, it didn''t hear me out and immediately charged at my...huh? It charged at where the rubbles fell? A light bulb appeared on top of my head as it blinked open, well just pretend it''s there~ I got an idea because I remembered something. ''These things were all blind, and no eyes means yes ears~'' I stood up, silently. As silently as I can. And I also stopped breathing tip-toeing my way to where the undead minotaur originated from. The thing was still busy exhaling, I don''t know how it exactly exhales but it does and ignoring my flying thoughts I picked up my Necromace. [Equipped Necromace] ''Be useful now you big lump of pvp weapon'' I used the mace and splendidly smacked a nearby table, it was metal and when metal hits metal you make sound~ what type of sound? Sound that can be used as a distrac- THUD! [New skill obtained Dodge] ''I need some agility huh?'' I nearly died there and my face was still stuck with a smile, yep. That minotaur is fucking fast, fast as fuck boi~ Anyways, that nearly killed me but I know now how to kill him...or trick him to death. [Lvl 24 Undead Minotaur] [HP:1100/1250] ''Wow, 150 damage all in all to him? I nearly died twice and 150 damage? Really? He''s just 4 levels above me?!'' I turned around and what I saw made me...furious. [Fury Activated] [Strength: 48] "YOU UGLY THING MOCK ME?!" The minotaur had a smirking, or whatever it was as he bobbed his head backwards, prompting me to charge at him. He even threw his hammer away...I''m killing this thing. Without further ado, I charged at him and he charged at me. Not a single soul has ever mocked me ever since I brought a highschool asshole flirting with my sister to the deathbed when I was just grade 6. This thing''s undead so it might not have a soul but still we did a solid pushing battle, and I was at the losing end. It was a weird sight, a 6''4 man was having a showdown with a 7''9 minotaur and the battle was going as it was supposed to be. "LIKE HELL IT WILL!" [Fury has evolved into Wrath] Looks like my prayers, or in this case shouts of anger was heard by the system who gave me the damn skill in the first place and evolved it. So you do know this is a bullshit unfair fight? [Wrath - Increases strength by 1 point for every second you are angry, all stats will be returned to normal once you lose your anger either by calming effects or when the souce of your anger is no longer a source of anger]Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings. [Strength: 39] The minotaur felt that I became weak and pushed me even more, I was gradually sliding back and getting myself pushed back to the wall. [Strength: 44] "YOU FUCKING COW! I''LL RIP YOUR HEART OUT!" [Strength: 50] 12 seconds have passed and it''s my turn to push back, just as I was having the thought I felt myself getting stronger and stronger that I eventually stopped sliding. The mino still made me a little shaky but atleast I was beginning to win. "URGHHHH!" [Strength: 55] PUSH! PUSH PUSH PUSH! PUUUUUSH! [Strength: 60] The minotaur found me to still be weak so he removed one hand from our deadlock and blew it like some fly dropped on it...oh boy. [Strength: 70] It was at this moment that the minotaur realized, he fucked up. The sound of cracking could be heard as the minotaur suddenly felt pain on his left hand''s fingers. [-100] "MOOOOOO!" It got pissed off and decided to punch me in the face. Oh, this thing doesn''t increase constitution huh? Oh dear...the impact of his fist to my face sent shockwaves that practically equaled to being hit by a bus all over my body. I was pretty sure it broke a lot and ruptured most organs? I dunno ask my body? [-300] [Lvl 20 Ezekiel Riverman] [HP:60/950] "YOU FUCKING INBRED CUNT!" [Strength: 85] I felt weird. I was strong, very much so but the pain made me angrier, I saw my health and one more punch and I was dead. And that realization made me...angrier? "MOOOOO!" The minotaur cocked back it''s free, unbroken arm and was about to punch me. The memories, is this the seeing your life before death kind of thing? I saw my parents, my mom, my dad, my crippled son of a bitch uncle and some friends from a gang and finally a vision of my most important person...my cat...Mrs. Fluffles...Huh? "Alyshia...WHY THE FUCK IS YOUR CAT IN MY DYING MEMORIES!!!!!!" [Due to the influence of Wrath you have gained a new related skill] [New skill obtained Nuntius Defiance] [Nuntius Defiance - Prevents you from having 0 health points for 5 seconds and heal for the amount of damage you have dealt, if activated willingly the cooldown penalty will not be applied but if this ability was activated automatically it will have a cooldown of 1 week] From the depths of my consiousness something was born, a flame of some sort that was burning with a fire larger than what you would get if the whole twin towers was submerged in flames. From there another prompt came but I ignored it in favor of using the skill I just gained. "IRON NUNTIUS!" [Iron Nuntius activated] The punch came and connected to my face sending another bus crash shockwave but as expected. [-360] [HP:1/95-] [Strength 95] "MY TURN FAGGOT!" [1000] [You have slain an Undead Minotaur] [+2 levels] [Strength: 100] I uppercutted, I uppercutted with glee and the minotaur was sent flying all the way to the roof. I had 5 seconds and this was precious. It probably only dealt 500 but since my trait made uppercuts critical the damage was effectively doubled and he flew up while also having his head explode upon contact. I took the time to observed my body tha- hooooleee shit! "AHHHHHHHH!" [Strength: 38] My body was covered with nerves and was bulging like the hulk but instead of green it was red, like, sore type of red. Oh, ignore this. It''s just me screaming in pain because accelerating muscle growth to the point that it bulged and turning it back to deflate like a ballon didn''t just hurt, it was like someone removed my skin and grinded me in magma while pouring alchohol, the sterilizing one at me. The flame inside my consiousness also felt like it has gotten smaller, smaller than a candle''s flame actually. [-10,000] [HP:1/1100] I dropped down, like a dead person to the floor as I watched my health bar flll back up by 1000 points. [Nuntius Defiance defied your death] "I want to sleep..but not yet..." I groggily stood up and not knowing how but I made it back to the cells. I laid on one of the bed and slept, slept peacefully. "Alyshia...I''m still alive" ... What was that? I felt like...that time whenis my brother was brought to the hospital after all the boys from his school fought with him as a sign of rebellion agaisnt he reign... "Ms.Riverman, Alyshia is thinking chuuni stuff again!" Annoying. "Oh, you are a 8th grader are you not Alyshia?" A soothing female voice, my mother obviously said to me with a calm smile. Tch, fake smile anyways. It runs in the blood. "I was just thinking of my brother" Then 3 other voices said in a rythmic pattern. "Bro-con" "Incest" "Oh my, Alyshia?" My eyebrow twitched, this people are annoying. "I AM NOT A INCESTIOUS BRO-CON! AND DON''T OH MY ME YOU JIGGLING PIE OF CHEST FAT!" The last insult was to my mother, jiggling piece of...Well, atleast I know I''m not a walking wall, not that I ever deserved to. "I''m going out" I sighed in whatever was left of my embarassment and went out of the room, or tent. There''s a shop in here that sells temporary tents that are big enough to...like house several people and it was weirdly different inside as what you would expect from a tent. It''s like another dimension or something. "I hope you''re still you, oh dearest brother of this queen...well princess until my mom passes anyway." A gust of wind blew by and my pinkish red hair was blown away, anime style...cool hehehe "Chuuni" "Shut up, Shirley"
