Rei's eyes narrowed, as he quickly looked at the door there he saw something that would only be seen in movies, a zombie. With its disfigured head and one eye it made its way to the room and saw Rei.

He was quickly frightened being looked at by the hideous zombie, but he regained a bit of his confidence after seeing that the zombie had no arms.

Rei stared at the zombie in shock, and he quickly gathered himself up to start thinking. His first plan was to throw the broken table and chairs to the zombie and escape through the door, but when he saw the zombie move like a turtle, he hesitated for a moment and discarded his previous idea.

He quickly took a broken chair's leg beside him and decided to throw it at the zombie to probe its defenses. Rei threw it like a Spartan, deftly and accurately. At least, that's what he thought. When Rei threw the chair's leg, it did not travel past a meter before it fell.

Rei had the urge to facepalm himself, but he focused himself on the urgent situation. He gritted his teeth and steeled his heart, he took a table and ran to the zombie. With a low grunt, he smashed the table at the zombie's head. A grin broke out of his face but when he felt no resistance his countenance paled!

"It dodged...?"

Rei left the table and moved back; he eyed his surroundings to look for the zombie. But surprisingly, he did not found the zombie! Rei had a confused look on his face as he quickly looked back at the table. Underneath the table desk, there seems to be something that sticks out. It was gray and had black spots on it and within seconds Rei recognized that it was the zombie's leg!

"Oh my god... Was the zombie weak or am I that strong?"

Shocked filled his heart as he saw the revolting scene in front of him. Almost all of the zombie's body were squashed, and only the legs remained! Countless questions passed through his head as he scrutinized the body of the zombie. He saw numerous worms squirmed at the zombie's legs wanting to get out and seeing this situation made Rei's head dizzy.

But before the situation could get any worse, he heard a bell sound and a voice that resounded throughout his ears. It was not loud, nor it was soft, it just had the proper volume, and it was very pleasing to the ears. Rei did not know why but when he heard the bell, something in his heart was satisfied, and it also made his mind clear up from exhaustion.

Rei, of course, knew what the sound meant, and he quickly checked his status for any improvements.

"My HP at level 1 seemed to be 200 and my MP was supposed to be 100. But now it increased when I leveled up..." Rei had pondered for a moment before he realized the benefits when leveling up!

"Ah, so it's 50HP per level and 25MP, that means at level 5 I can at least use 'Intimidating Aura' 20 times!"

Rei was ecstatic at this kind of benefit. Although Rei knew that this sort of thing would happen, but after seeing it in front of his eyes that he could get stronger just by killing a measly zombie made his heart flutter excitedly.

But Rei did not make his head go big as he remembered what happened to those arrogant characters in the novels. "Ah, I must not get overly excited about these things, in the future, I should control myself a bit more." Is what he thought after he remembered those characters, but he quickly added and giggled, "I should do that in the future, not now."

His whole body was shaking as if he was using Ecstasy. He imagined what would happen in the future with his awesome skills and he imagined a lot of things; it even made him laugh in delight! After being in that state for a few minutes, Rei finally regained his sanity.

Rei held his aching stomach that was caused by his laughter as he remembered the rewards that he got for killing the zombie.

"One is the level up, and the other is in the inventory!"

He excitedly activated the blue box trying to find the inventory option, but he found none. It made his face frown for a second before an amused expression appeared on his face. "You can't trick me anymore!

"Open Inventory!"

Rei shouted, and like what he expected; a ten by ten grid appeared in front of him. Although there were no items, he was still excited and looked at the bottom right corner of his inventory. What he saw there was a symbol of G, S, and C. He quickly guessed that they were initials for Gold, Silver, and Copper.

"I have 90 coppers from killing a zombie, is that good?"

Rei question to no one, but after thinking about it for a moment, he laughed greedily. "That zombie is so fragile, If I smash a hundred more then it's like earning money for free!" Rei laughed again but this time, if someone heard it, then they would have trouble sleeping at night.

Seeing the Copper coins made Rei ponder again if he could take it out from his inventory. He, of course, did not touch it but instead he said, "Withdraw 1 Copper!" A copper coin appeared in his hands; it has many engravings on it, and the coin had a weird symbol on the back of it. Rei nodded as if he was satisfied and quickly put it back to his inventory.

After checking that he did not miss anything, Rei went back to his table and opened his bag for water. There, he took a bottle of water and briskly drank it. He put the bag on his inventory and immediately walked to the door.

"I need to look for a town, and hope that the people here would speak the same language as I do." This was Rei's first plan, after finding out a civilization he would then find a library and learn something about this world. Rei firmly believed in the saying 'Knowledge is Power.'

Rei also thought of the Copper coins and his inventory and imagined how easy stealing and gaining money would be. "It would be wonderful if the system and this world use the same coins." Just as he said that, his body froze like he was struck by lightning.

"Ah, I should really upgrade my intelligence, why do I always forget such important stuff." Rei had the urge to bang his head on the wall for forgetting such an important thing. He immediately aborted his decision to get out of the room, and instead he took a chair that was not broken and sat on it. He activated the box and chose the 'Shop' option.

Rei, who was sitting on the chair, had a shocked expression as he saw the items in the shop.

"This... this..."
