《A Hard Game (Dropped)》Equipment

Von had a list of things he needed. First was clothing, he hadn't had the chance to change his clothes since the plane crash after all. He may not be a girl but, he had his needs.
Von had thoroughly searched the clothing shop and found the appropriate clothes for the upcoming storms. It included a comfortable black shirt, a long sleeved jacket that was too big for his size, highly elastic pants and a pair of boots with light metal plating.
Von looked at the mirror and nodded. This was the best light weight combination he could get from the choices he had. He tidied his messy hair and set out again.
This leads to the next thing Von needed, weapons. He's been dealing with those zombie indirectly but he knew that direct confrontations can happen any time.
Von smiled lightly as he spotted a cold weapon section inside a large market. He quietly browsed through the stock, hoping no left out zombies would notice him.
After a bit of contemplation, Von picked three things, a standard combat knife, a slim machete closely resembling a katana and a pair of black gloves with metal plating that matched his boots.
Von examined his choices and smiled. It felt light yet durable. He found it very suitable for him.
Von picked up a random knife and threw it in the open. He crouched as the knife collided with the ground. A groan was heard followed by a series of steps.
Von's eye lit up
"I knew it" Von exclaimed quietly. It seemed like he was gonna need to be careful as a few zombies may have stayed behind, just like the one in front of him.
Von waited to see if there were more and was relieved that it was the only one. He locked his eye on the zombie before launching himself as fast as he could with his slim machete in hand.

His shot towards the zombie's head like a whip and swiftly cut through it like water melon. Von breathed in as he put the machete back in its sheath.
It was his first time killing a zombie by hand and also his first at wielding a weapon. If anyone were to witness the smoothness of Von's action, they would probably argue otherwise, but it was the truth. He only visualized the movements from countless fantasies he read and was able to achieve his water-like calmness due to his familiarity towards these kind of situations in novels.
Von's eye moved away from the corpse and straight towards the exit.
It seemed like these knowledge had come to use in this world.
...
Von came out from the shopping center after acquiring some canned food and storing it inside a small backpack.
He made sure to look around before heading out, after finding that the horde was still loiting around the vehicle, Von ran and arrived at a nearby car dealer.
The place was relatively fine and didn't have any zombies. At least from what he saw.
Von chose to visit not just to get a vehicle, but to fulfill his first mission, locate an energy source. He had previously thought of getting it from the shopping center but had forgotten due to focusing on the zombies.
"This place should have enough to boot up and power the system longer than last time" Von hoped that he would unlock a useful function from the system and was eager to finish the objective.
Von found the electricity cables leading to the power storage of the building after a bit of searching. He wasn't exactly sure on how to proceed so he asked the system.
[ Connecting... ]
[ Connection stabilized! Transferring energy now! Please place your palms in front of your body ]
Von did as instructed and placed his palms open in front of him. Electricity from the power supply suddenly jumped towards his palm like lightning as a foreign feeling spread towards his body before travelling towards his head.
[ Transfer complete! First battery core: 96% ]

8 148Re:Hammer - The Hammering
Sequel to the sort of liked Re:Hammer. Set in 40k universe, and generally on course. Personal changes are detailed in the Prologue because it's quite a bit. It's not really ended nor is it an attrocity like End Times, but I've got a few things to change. To note: Druchii arc (If this means nothing to you, go read Re:Hammer first) has been learned from and will be avoided. This is not to say there won't be any sex, but we will certainly try to keep it less crazy. Feedback is, as always, appreciated and worked with.

8 136Living as a Demon
Jonathan was living the life of a normal human male in modern-day society, until he was rudely awakened one night by a summoning circle that ripped him out of his reality and dumped him into a new world filled with magic, demons, and…mouthy young orphan girls?! Now Jonathan must navigate the trials of playing guardian to a preteen, learning to unlock his inner demon, and somehow managing to find a dang pair of pants! Welcome! I'm E.O. Tenkey; thank you for considering Living as a Demon, my third released work here on Royal Road (following Not a Manga and Mr. Familiar)! Let's set some expectations, shall we? • Not much hard profanity (chapter 1 is the exception!)• Human MC! Our protagonist is a bona fide homo sapiens. Which is not to say there won't be demons, demonic powers, and what-have-you, but this isn't some grimdark exploration of the life and times of a nihilistic, amoral killing machine.• Slice of life. My previous works always ended up there, so might as well get ahead of the curve!• Weekly updates, and a completed story: I will post a single chapter per week on Wednesdays until the story is complete (extra chapters are rare, but do happen).
