Once we are back to the safe zone. The new notice board have appeared
Notice Defend the safe zone mission cleared
Notice rewards from the previous mission and this mission are stacked together
Notice each kill gain 0 to 2 coins and 20% chance of dropping a loot drop.
Notice to All that take part in E mission reward: New orb exchange function to the vending machine and 2 meal ticket (it enables the user to exchange for a free meal for each ticket) and a pair of gloves (gloves of grass).

Notice to All, System redeem survivors as non-contributing, there are penalties like example reviving requirement revert back to normal (instead of using the bronze coins, revive coin are used for reviving), increase taxes of sales of the items and etc
Everyone is happy that finally the rewards are given to them by the system. As even the lowest contribution survivors can easily get a list of the following items, an hp and mp regen badge, a purple potion, 2 meal tickets, a pair of grass gloves and a few coins depend on how many zombies or monsters that they have killed.
As the result of those system rewards which makes the brave survivors normally to get the most loots and rewards as they tend to kill the most, while the cowards generally get the minimum loot and reward. Of course, the cowards are unhappy of what they received from the system. Thus they try to use trade, favours, loans and etc to get what they want. Which is same like the market, where there are people who make the demand and there are some who make the supply.
Staying in the safe zone without hunting/patrolling is now theory possible with more people in the safe zone, which also have bigger demands for resources and supplies. There are a few ways that survivors can now do to earn money without constantly hunting outside the safe zone. There are a few examples or ways. One of it is to be a cook which can create new dishes through the mixing of different RTE and food from the vending machine, another of it will be prostitution, nothing more needed to be said for this type of services and the last but not least it is trade which through selling and buying goods like soap, furniture, foods and etc, Survivors can get items/equipment that they do not need or want. In summary, People will think to do more services that current vending machine is lacking in order to survive the safe zone besides hunting.
I and my wives along with the babies go back to our room to sleep, Babies are sometimes a bit annoying as they keep wake up for no reason, it is hard to manage them with my wives alone.
Getting too tired after fighting the battle, I go to sleep after taking a bath...
Scene cut to another side
Man, working SLS is good, good money as we are just doing the trash throwing job, we even have our own apartments shared near to it is the trashed apartment where we work in but way bigger than what normal SLS people live in their small apartment. Every week morning we come early in the morning to sweep the floors in the building, sometimes we meet people, we just greet them with a smile after that we rest, then we take out the trash from each and every building after that area cleaning and sorting of the trash at the trashed apartment then spray pesticides to get rid of the insects, at night we rest at our apartment talking to our family and etc through our phone, Once in a while people walk past in the corridors while we are relaxing during our break, they often look down on us like we are just some kind of rats or cockroaches. We don't mind because once we leave as we are working there in SLS for a living and a living for my families.

After the update, people will be respawning in our trash apartment, at first we thought it is funny, as there is the place where previously trash gathered, but now it is people who have gathered, as more people mysteriously appear out of nowhere. Through their screaming and shouting, they attracted the nearby zombies like files on the raw meat. It is time to defend ourselves against the attack. We tried to block the zombies with the trash where they are everywhere. We use our new weapons to defend, some helped but those spoiled pussies just can't stop crying. We start to shove those who are trying to make problems for us to the zombies, Once the noisy ones are dead and have become food for the zombies. The rats start to appear, one by one then those rats come waves after waves.
So as the survivors along with some insects, as most of them are hard to manage so forcing them out is a good idea as there is no space in the apartment already.
After a long battle, many died and respawn then died again. Some died and there is no more revive coins to support them, they simply exploded then items they obtained are all dropped on the floor for other for the picking. Due to this, someone has to try RTE and prove that it is just food, then one of them do not eat properly as the pieces of food drop on the floor, it attracts pests to take them. Therefore the idea of baiting them to attack the difficult zombies slowly develops. At the same time, using women who do not contribute on defending against the endless horde of zombies as rewards will increase more brave people to defend the apartment, as they are most of them are useless and cowards except for the thirst of making babies and sex will motivate them, whereas for others, they are forced to finish up all the tutorial quest and other quests getting coins and supplies from the fallen survivors(they have no revive coins to revive) are left to fight the zombies, only the strong will have more of the speaking power, the weak have no power and often used to boost the strong. Thus making the strong stronger, while the weak gets more weaker.
After defending against the zombies, there is a new notice that popped up on our head, which there is a safe area (reduce detection only) for 150 coins. We decided to pool in all the money from kills and bought the safe area for the trashed apartment. We decided that people are charged to stay into rest at the safe area 5 bronze coins for an hour of rest, women for sex are free of charge. Also stop the system from clearing anything, as pests are like free experience points for those who stay in. A lot of women have been going to safe area to "offer their services" to the brave and the heroic, some of them who are not doing anything, some of them are task to make equipment out of trash when they are not servicing any men, even though the items and equipment is not as good as the original ones but at least it provides the function of what it purpose to do. Trash like used or broken furniture like chairs can be made into weapons or armour for the others to use, a lot of self-made weapons are made to defend against the continuous of spawning of cockroaches as most of the trash is food waste, which attracts a lot of them. Farming them for materials are safer than zombies outside. Making throwing food waste to lure pest to attack zombies is a way of making killing zombies an easier compared to the normal use of the weapon.

Overview of our apartment is a few specials zombies like hunks and dickers and some random less threating zombies and a lot of normal zombies, some women cannot afford to offer their services or they prefer to fight for themselves, choose to fight with the men, in the end, some service them for some other stuff, some become leaders of the party. Rat skin armour is made by so-called craftsman combine with a series of fusion proof to give more protection than the normal clothes the best part is it can improve stats if it is worn over a period of time but sadly zombies drop materials are too little to make into an armour set. Armour set which we called it a nickname as the suit, which there are shop that is set up in the safe area for sale of those suit.
There are following sets of clothes that they made:
Rat skin armour set (20 coins)
4 defence +65% attack and movement speed 30% reduce the effect of a poison
Effect Genes imbue(wearing it your genes will slowly improve)+1 dex per hour max stats can be added in this way is +30)
Lizard skin armour set (70 coins)
6 defence +20% attack and movement speed 30% reduce the 5 incoming damage
Effect Genes imbue(wearing it your genes will slowly improve)+1 luck per hour max stats can be added in this way is +30)
Housefly armour set (60 coins)
3 defence +20% attack and movement speed 50% reduce the 3 incoming damage and 20% more to evade incoming attacks
Effect Genes imbue(wearing it your genes will slowly improve)+1 luck per 1-hour max stats can be added in this way is +30)
Cockroach shell armour set (18 coins)
8 defence -20% attack and movement speed 80% reduce the 3 incoming damage
Effect Genes imbue(wearing it your genes will slowly improve)+1 str per hour max stats can be added in this way is +30)
Lizard set armour is more expensive as it is really hard to find lizards, for housefly case, it is lack of materials, some of the people show that they have guts to kill through and survive the waves are given one of those armours, normally a set to us is just top and bottom, the hats and shoes they have to buy it separately.
One of us who is a leader, he starts to lead us by exploding the cars to kill horde of zombies and unwanted large pests cause by using the food waste to attract them and a list of stuff he does to contribute as a leader. He is given a custom-made armour which is
Foursome pest combo armour set
From hat to shoes, crafted by all the best pest parts, from the hat, it has a cockroach shell plus housefly multi-eye helmet as the top and bottom as well as the shoes are a combination of lizard and rat skins as well as cockroach skill for armour
15 defence +25% attack and speed 65% reduce 6 incoming damage +5% of evading incoming attack +20% chance of not getting poison
Effect Mixed Genes Imbue(wearing it your genes will slowly improve)+1 for all stats per hour max stats can be added in this way is +30)
He is allowed to have the 3 women for their services, he does it to 5 of them anyway no one can disaggree with that, the strange happens to start to happen as the owners of the armour set start to talk to the enemies(pests) which is impossible to think about, most of them give or trade other the armour after they have their 30 stats boost the thing is after they have max stat boost they look at like pest that they worn as like an example a guy wear rat suit after max stats boost, he will look like a rat and he will have furs all over his body and he enable to talk to rats, of course, a few of the people do not like this stuffs but in order to get stronger most people wear and trade for more stats boost plus the ability to reduce pest threats and chance of turning them into allies looks appealing, the hostile waves gets less and less due to owners talking to the pests and sharing their food with their "pest" rarely a few can use them for battle. As the armour production increase most of us can afford to wear in those armour for protection and its strengthing effects, The suits feel good by wearing it despite the ugly but cool looking well it is disgusting to think what are materials used to make those suit, some of the owners pool into setting up a rental service in the safe area to boost people stats and earn some money from it. Zombies are killed quicker as more of us getting stronger and pest threats are reduced as more of us can use them in the battle, we are getting better as more and better suits which are planning to be craft by our craftsmen later on. As a result of what we will be stronger in the future as our appearance might change to suit what the new world is going to be like. Due to some unknown reason, women start to lay eggs a while after their services, it feels kind of odd but notices to come and reward is coming like water as more and more babies are born from eggs so no one actually really bothers as more rations coming in as more eggs hatch in small creatures.
Everyone generally doesn't notice changes happening in their bodies as they are busy having sex to get the feel of getting it high and are too busy fighting zombies and gathering of food supplies for the young. Slowly but steadily women that provide body services become better than their services and start laying of eggs after a while of services, more are getting the jobs called Boardmothers, lair mothers and etc
Scene cut
The loud crying sound of the baby has woken me up as I look through the window, I see a being who is covered with fur who is playing with a flute. Around him, there are mice gathering around my safe zone. Out of fear, I quickly buy the safe area microwaves for 5 silver coins which do a light constant light damage to our enemies for certain area covering the safe zone for self-defence, in this case, the pests and improve the power supply to a mini power plant for 1silver coin (2), just as we manage to get a breather, hordes of houseflies, lizards, cockroaches flying and rats "discharge" from the trashed apartment, some come from other blocks of buildings, some come from the drains. Like it is some B rating horrible movies, that an insane amounts of reinforcement that they can come up with, I am pretty disgusted as I see endless of pests swarming toward me, I wish I can run away from all these creatures but think of my wives and kids I decide to fight back with all my power that is. Even through worst has not come yet. As pestiods come with the pest to waves of like I know how to explain this shit. In summary, odds are against us, have to find ways to overcome hordes of endless pests or we could die for it
While thinking of all those things, as I sound the alarm.
(1) Those spears including wooden spears, stick attached to a knife, sharpen bamboo poles and etc that is long and at the end with a sharp edge.
(2) A silver coin is equal to 1000 bronze coins

Silver, Sand, and Silken Wings
In the opinion of the common storyteller, Sylph did not exist. Frustrated and deceived by her mothers hiding the truth of her parentage, young dragoness Sylph heads out looking for answers along with a childhood friend, a young human alchemist. From the sky high walls of Carthia, through the winding, lively streets of Halfhill, her journey leads her all the way up north to the picturesque nightmare of snow where she hatched. And yet, the answers lie buried in the desert sand on the other side of the continent. In a world of cruel slave traders and a ruthless, self-proclaimed queen, Sylph uncovers the answers she seeks and realizes her grave mistake of ever leaving home. A singular misstep in the hostile city means death, or worse, and the guards are hot on her haunches after blundering her way through the gates. The draft for this work is finished. I am editing the chapters and putting them up. Updates every 14 days because I am tangled up in work.
8 236The Foretold: Sun Child (Complete)
As a sixteen year old commoner, your future is bleak. Worse, your appearance sets you apart from others. Your only achievement so far, is befriending the second son of the Lord of the Keep. He has been your only friend for eleven years, initially partner in mischief and later your hunting companion and confidant. Now your friendship is being torn asunder, he has turned eighteen and is being sent away to become a Judge Knight Aspirant. What is to become of you? Before your friend leaves, there is murder and conspiracy! Magic left the land hundreds of years ago, all you have is your bow and hunting skills, nevertheless you must fight to survive and save another to have any hope of a future! Note: The graphic isn't mine; it is a re-imagining of a few separate images, any objections by original artists let me know. N.B. If you are looking for Sexual Content every chapter, or every second, third or fourth chapter this isn't the story for you - the Sexual Content is required for a plot device, not a way of life and the later chapters reflect that - please stop dropping Low Ratings when you feel I haven't met your idea of "fan service". This is finished as much as a multi book vision can be finished. At 750,000 words give or take and very little readership I can only blame myself. I have learnt a lot, possibly forgotten a lot as well! I will probably return to the Chapters at some point - a touch up here and a touch up there. The second book though will probably remain in my head for a very long time, so yes "cliffs" although I hope the characters and their motivations are developed enough that you can have a good guess at the content of Book Two and tell me so I can confirm or deny! This isn't a LITRPG where classes are developed, great foes are defeated by a hero of immense power. This is a story based within (I hope) a very real and consistent culture, that leaves breadcrumbs for the reader to work out what the heck is happening and why. This is a slow burn story as the MC is stumbling around discovering her new place and role. Author's Note (Apr 2021): I dropped the Fantasy Genre for the Mystery Genre, because while the setting mentions magic, is it about past glories and trying to return to them. Whereas the MC from Chapter One doesn't understand her predicament and the range of mysteries she must solve to survive. If I have this wrong PM me and I will change this back.

Wherein the Author acquires a cursed trunk of treasures, once owned by another (now happily dead), and attempts to rid themselves of the burden by giving it all away. But the seed of a story, as the Reader well knows, so often sows many more of those... [On temporary hold while I focus on my entry to the April Writathon. Eventually these two works will connect, I'm just not great at multi-tasking so this compendium is temporarily parked until I cross thew May 5 finish line]
