Chapter 2 - A System of Culture

The Walking Dead, Atlanta, on the second floor of a building. A person appeared from seemingly thin air, it was man who seemed to be in his early twenties. With long, silky black hair and a slim build that was the ideal build for a zombie apocalypse. He was wearing a black robe that you would expect cultivators to wear. This was our protagonist, who was sent to this world of chaos.

I woke up groaning a bit from the slight headache that I had. Looking around and it seems that I was in a small office section, I listened intently trying to listen for any noises but it was eerily quiet. I sighed to myself after confirming I was truly alone here. Getting up I stretched my body causing a few pops and cracks, this body truly does feel like it hasn't moved in ages. While I was musing about how I felt like a new car that just came out of the factory, I heard an electronic female voice inside my head.

[Ding! System is compiling... System is booting... System binding to Host.]

[Hello, Host! I am the System, I will be here to help you on your journey of surviving here in this world~! What is your name?]

Hearing that my system for the first time, I was honestly excited since I always dreamed of having a system in a zombie apocalypse. But what confused me was my name, I honestly didn't remember my name from my previous life. It was a blank in all my memories even if I had photographic memory, I didn't remember it and that made me feel conflicted. I lamented a bit since I didn't remember my name and gave up trying to remember it. I started to think of a new name and eventually decided to go with the name, Jin.

[Your name has been set! I will be explaining the purpose of me, your system, and my functions now. I was created to help you survive in this zombie apocalyptic world. My functions are Status, Inventory, Shop, Quests, Sub System.

Status will you your current level, stats, abilities, skills, etc.

Inventory allows you store items, foods, materials, etc and take them out at will.

Shop will allow you to buy food, material, blueprints, knowledge, etc. All at the cost of z-points points.

Quests will allow you to see your current quests that you have accepted from the system.

And Sub System is where you can manage and configure the sub system modules that assist and boost the main system.]

After taking several mental notes everything, I called out for my status

I smirked a bit and I couldn't wait to get my first kill. But I'm not an idiot, I need to know myself before I can know my enemies. Calling out to the system in my mind, I asked for a description of my abilities.

[Customization Manipulation - Customize animate and inanimate objects ranging from changing basic variables to creating an immortal talking cat who talks shit.]

[Weapon Manipulation - Create, summon, shape, manipulate and use any kind of weapons with perfect skill, whether pre-modern, modern, fantasy, or even more exotic ammunition/attacks. If it is a weapon or could be improvised as one, they are completely proficient with it. Yes, this was copy and pasted then modified.]

[Absolute Combat - Unparalleled combat ability, want to decimate your opponent with ease? No problem. Want to patiently toy with them? Well sure, go for it, you'll find victory no matter how long it takes.]

[Perfect Eidetic Memory - You are able to recall anything whether it would be the tiniest of details as if it was just a second ago.]

[Rinkaku Kagune - A Ghoul's predatory organ and functions as their weapon and claws, don't lose it, alright? It takes a bit to regenerate back. When released, your mobility is increased, your physique is strengthened and you're more resilient. Oh yeah, also you heal retarded quick. Not even Deadpool and Wolverine can hold a candle to you. Your tentacles are very flexible due to being a rinkaku type, you could bring tentacle hentai into reality now!]

Reading the description of each of my abilities, I had to admit that the system had taste. Truly a system of culture and it's not like those snarky systems that I've heard of. Ah, I truly am blessed to have the chance to have my wishes granted and go to a world of my choice.

After enjoying the happy feeling, I began thinking of how to secure food for myself since I can't eat normal human food. I won't lie, I thought about eating the zombies but quickly decided against it since there is no where to get my stomach pumped anymore. "Is there a starter pack?" I thought to myself out loud and surprisingly got rewarded for it.

[Congratulations for discovering a hidden reward! You received 'Survival Carepackage!' Would you like to open it?] I immediately agreed of course. [You received a Kar98k with telescopic sight & 20 filled magazines, 2 M1911 pistols w/ 7 clips for each, a wakazashi, 3 Human Bodies, and 20 cans of coffee! You can find them inside your inventory.]

A very generous package indeed, ah, I'm a lucky man. No, I'm not talking about the weapons; screw those. What I care about is the 3 human bodies! That's 3 months of food right there unless I become a glutton, that wouldn't be good.

Ah, I could use Customization Manipulation to make it an infinite supply! I'll think about it later, but for now I want to go find me some loot. I need a hair tie to keep my hair up as well, ah, I'm too excited.
