《Real Life RPG Doesn't Suck》Chapter 4: Sword and Zombies
Advertisement
(Iori’s POV)
The air explosion didn’t hurt me, so no problem. It also doesn’t seem to have activated any kind of trap. The statues didn’t move at all. The only thing that changed are the ethereal blue flames floating around like lost ghosts, making this place surprisingly bright.
Finally, I use analyze in the katana.
Juuchi Yosamu
Type:Magic Katana
Damage:550-800Tier:UniqueRequirement:Job: Temple’s Gate Guardian
Durability:Infinite
An strange katana, found inside the underground shrine under the temple. It was found by Hiyuuki Iori, covered in dust. In the right side of the blade, there is a message etched in traditional Chinese: “我們現在是以金屬製成的,是為了永遠服務伊織”, which means “We, who are now made of metal, are to serve Yí Zhí forever”. A strange aura emanates from the sword.
Wow! I’ve got my hands into something good! I also match the requirements perfectly! Wait, job… I haven’t checked it before, my job that is. I open my status and touch the Temple’s Gate Guardian job.
Temple’s Gate Guardian[/tr]
JobType:Hereditary
An job given to the direct descendants of the first priest of the Sensou no Kami Temple. Allows the holder of the job to use the facilities of the temple. Allows the access to the special areas of the temple. While in the temple’s vicinities, energy restores faster and the need of sleep isn’t needed.
Oh… I see… that’s why the reason that I last tried to sleep in the temple I couldn’t do so. I tough that it was a case if insomnia, but it doesn’t seem to be the case. Well, I wasn’t tired even after going to school next day, so no problems there.
Anyway, let’s go outside. Ignoring the ghostly blue flames floating around and walk up back the Haiden. When I close the trapdoor, the handle falls to the ground and fuses with the boards. I touch where the handle should be, and it appears again. Alright, so this is the effect of my job.

I wonder if it only works since I have mana now… anyway, better begin training again. But first…
I hold the hilt of the katana… wow, it feels so familiar… I take Yosamu out from its scabbard. Wow… this sword… is so pretty! The blade is of a classical katana, with a single edge and a lightly bent blade. The hamom, the pattern in the blade is unique, resembling flames in a slightly darker hue if silver from the rest of the blade. What the hell was used as material for this?
The blade is completely silvery, but it is more… polished than normal silver, and brighter too. This doesn’t seem to be tamahagane, or any kind of metal that I have seen before… it seems solid, and clearly magical.
When I hold this katana, I feel… vibrating, as if I was made for this sword. Good. I try a few moves with Yosamu. The weight and balance is perfect, and when using this sword, I can feel as if I was it was an extension of my body. Great.
Alright, finished playing around, it’s time to train the dungeon creation skill! After a few times creating and going out from the dungeons, the skill finally levels up to ten.
Dungeon Creation
Type:SkillMana Cost: 0 MP
Tier:CommonLevel: 10 (0,05%)
The most basic skill required for a magician. Creates a copy of the space around you and drag any magic related being inside it. To exit, just gather mana in your hand and have the wish to exit. Creates the most basic dungeon.
Enemies Available
ZombieTier:Common Mob
Oh, an enemy available! Also, zombies? I was hoping that I would firstly face slimes but zombies will do as well. Slow and dumb, zombies aren’t worth much. Well, they are worth some EXP after all. Do they drop something? I ask myself as I raise my hand and active the skill to create a dungeon.

Suddenly, an additional information comes to my head before the dungeon is created. The option to create a dungeon with zombies. Also, I discovered that the damage done to the world inside the dimension of the dungeons is erased when I go back to the real world. The results of training don’t disappear though.
Anyway, I choose to create the dungeon with zombies in it. I feel the world changing around me, as if I dived into a lake. However, there is something different from before. The sky turned pitch black, without any stars and a deep red moon.
Wandering around the place, there are a lot of zombies. I use analyze on it.
Zombie
Level:6
HP:100MP:0
Low type of undead, thrice as strong than when it was alive.
Alright, their HP is lower than the minimum damage that Yosamu can deal. Alright, they haven’t noticed me yet. I approach one, and stabbed with Yosamu, aiming for his head, and the katana easily pierced his head. He instantly died, dissolving in black smoke.
You have acquired 200 EPX
Alright, this is fun! After that, I hunted all the zombies and leveled up twice. I didn’t ran around laughing manically killing zombies. I didn’t.
…….
…..
A-a-anyway, back to the business. I re-do the dungeon and teste one of my mana bolts on the zombies. The mana bolt flies and explodes on the zombie, but doesn’t damage him that much. Well, it took off half his health, but the point is that it made the zombie fall down.
Heh~, stagger huh. Well, that’s cool. As I slay zombies like a kid in Christmas morning, I imagine if I can create other magics. Like protective magic, and a more efficient magic attack. I’ll think about that when I at a higher level. For now, time to level! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
