Chapter 5: Holy Bat Shit Rat Man.
I slowly opened the door the thick wood door enough for me to enter the large and looked around while the rat man zombie shuffled around. Seems being undead cause it to ignore me for the moment, however I’m pretty sure once I attacked it going to go all out on me. The room was wide square crypt some small holes scattered around, I’m betting rat tunnels. I felt a chilling feeling, as I got closer and looked at the zombie. It looked like a large black rat standing on 2 feet, shards of old clothing hanging off it. It dead eyes looking around likely sensing life like I do. In one of its hands it had a large dagger, Focusing my eyes on it..

I thought as I checked around the room slowly, noting a few low slabs where people were put to rest and a small wooden chest near the zombie.
I grinned to myself as I circled back around behind the zombie and activated my fury thrust skill. I stepped in with my strength behind In and then frowned some. After the sneak attack all I saw was a weak -3 pop up over the zombie as it spun around faster than I would of thought. It nearly pulled my sword out of my grip and it started to bend some. I quickly took a stepped back and dodged a wild swipe that lightly grazed me for -5 hp off my health.
I thought to myself as I keep some distance, I sighed deeply I gritted my teeth I I kept just stepping in to range and taking a quick thrust and then jumping back as the zombie swung it’s dagger at me, I was glad for it short range or I likely be again already.
As I stepped in getting ready to take another stab at the zombie it stepped aside and slammed it’s dagger in to my ribs. The impact pushed me back and caused my rip to crack; I think I lost at least 5 of them. A large -15 pop in the corner of my eye, which caused me to grit my teeth and slumped again one of the small stone slabs.
I groaned some and stood up as the zombie ran at me at full speed. I quickly jumped up on to the slab and slid on to the other side. “Now I got you, “I said out loud and raised my sword up and turned it to the flat side. I started channeled the frustration and pain I felt in to the blade, the dark mist wrapping around it. As the zombie started to straighten up, I slashed my sword down with all I had. A loud *Crack* echoed inside of the room as I connected with the zombies head and -15 flash over it head. The rotted skin had a large fragment of bone sticking out of its skull now. It seems I fracture it skull with that strike, but sadly did not see enough to end it.

I thought as I felt a bit winded as the dark mist faded away, I heard a light ding, which I ignored for right now. The zombie moved around the slab and slashed at me, this time nearly taking my left arm off. A large nick form in my upper arm and I lost -10 more hp. “Damn it” I growled some and ran away till I could barely sense it with my dark vision and took a stance. I lowered my sword down to my hip and twisted aside a little. My right shoulder twisted until facing where the zombie was coming from.
I sighed deeply and narrowed my eyes as I focused on everything around me. I thought to myself as I gather myself for this attack. It was something I saw in anime that i wondered if it was doable in the real world. I was shocked it was possible although it stressed my body heavily, to the point I broke my arm once trying it.
I grinned to myself as the zombie stumbled over as it tried to rush me.”Take this you rotting bastard!” I growled slashed out as hard as I could my sword started to cut right in to the zombie’s chest. While i attacked, I poured in my all my mana using repair to keep the blade straight. Until my sword lodged deep in to its chest, I gave a bit of a grin.
Spoiler: Slash
I groaned as my body creaked loudly and some bone fragments chipped off me.”I’m not done yet !” I yelled and twisted my sword in its chest while I bent my legs. Ignoring another -10 that flash as I slammed my left hand in to the underside of my sword pushing it up. My arm fell off as I did so, as I started to stand up. I pushing my sword up in the zombie's chest with a loud *Crack* using my body momentum to drive my blade up. My attack finished , the zombie's face slashed open and a large -30 flashed over it head and I smiled just before it’s dagger hit my ribs again with -10 flicked and then it stopped. Before anything could happen twisted my body and swung down with everything I had left on to the zombie's weaken head, earning a nice -15 to pop up before it felt over heavily.
I then leaned back against a stone slab and slowly recovered from feeling dizzy. Using all my magic and my rage on attacks took a mental toll on me it seems. I sat back some and looked at the ‘dead’ zombie and poked it with my sword a few times to make sure it was done. While I was recovering I heard a new *Ding* and started to look some of the new windows.

“Fuck!” I groaned deeply and sighed. I watched as my arms and rubs reformed slowly as the broken parts turned to dust. Seems I cannot be permanently disabled by breaking my limbs, but only seem to take effect once I ‘m done fighting. After a few minutes, I started to look at a few more windows.

“Well that a nice bonus, take that you bitch” I laughed deeply as I looked at the zombie rat and took it’s dagger and hefted it some. I thought as it cut off it’s tail with my new dagger. While I looked at it a saw a small glitter coming from its chest and quickly dug it out. What I ended up holding in my hand was a small shard of something that looked like black glass that had a purple aura around it. I then used identify on it.

nods and tested it a bit, putting the copper sword inside of it easily.
While on my way out let me tell you getting out a lot easier then getting in. barely a hour later I was back outside and walking to ‘my’ mausoleum. The main reason was to take a break and to pick up the coins I left behind before. After adding them to the bag I could ‘see’ how much money I had.
Old Coins5 Gold 7 Silver 85 Copper and 1 ???
I closed my eyes, but since I was undead I could not sleep. I decided to meditate to relax my mind as a replacement for sleep. The red flames, that made his eyes, dimmed down and went dark as he meditated.
-----Nox’s POV -----
A Large black flame flicked in the darkness some before taking shape of a woman. There stood a striking woman with in the darkness, her outfit was black as night and just covered her. The showing skin was pale and alluring. Her purple eyes, that stared in to the void where her strongest feature, watch something far way.
Spoiler: Nox
“Well now he did better than I could have hoped. He does not realize it yet but that Giant Rats where F rank. As a Rank less monster before, they where nearly double his stats due to his curse. Also the boss was 4 times his current power.”
Light blue flame next to her “Well he spent years training how to fight and got a lot of courage, although I’m still surprised he won with that weak gear.”
“Indeed, I might be helping in bringing about one of the strongest monster ever seen, if he last long enough. Maybe with his help, we can finally fix that world. This is the first time, a Hero who is the champion of 2 Gods..”

**for Quravin** It's the summer of 2010, and Evan Barker's older brother Jason has just committed suicide. His devastated parents are reeling from the Recession, his friends are shiftless drunks, and his younger sister has been committed after discovering Jason's body. In an attempt to assuage the trauma his family has experienced and break away from his own shitty existence, Evan decides to grab his portion of the modern American Dream by trying out for that year's American Idol auditions in Nashville. Never mind that Evan's a 21-year-old virgin with a self-image as poor as his social skills. Never mind that he's never even attempted to sing before. In 21st century America, anything is possible, or so Evan's been told by a cultural upbringing of "Follow your dreams" and "Everyone is special" and "True love awaits". Speaking of true love, Evan asks Lily Trent to accompany him on the journey. Lily is a childhood acquaintance with whom he's recently reconnected and developed a crush on. Lately Lily's been working as a stripper, a cynical and jaded young woman who may or may not have her own motivations for joining Evan on the trip. Evan hopes the time alone will spark reciprocal affections in Lily, and an improbable come-from-nowhere triumph on national TV will not only free his family from their blue collar burdens, but win him the respect and love he craves-- not just from others, but from himself. Together, Evan and Lily discover why learning how to fail may be their generation's greatest lesson. Cover art by Gerry Siorek
