"Zeke? Wow such a cool name." she said whilst letting my hand go and heading towards the equipment left on the ground. "Thanks, my actual name is Ezekiel but everyone calls me Zeke." I said while following her towards the piles of glowing loot. Each different rarity of object seemed to glow a different colour, White is Common and Green is Uncommon but other than that I hadn't seen anything else. I looked over the piles and I saw some Whites and Greens but there were also three blues within the different piles. I picked up the first item, it was the shield which the older man was carrying,
[Shield of Stoik - Rare - Once used by the great chief master Stoik himself to bash in the head of a Deadly Nadder - DEF +500 ATK +800 - Durability : 120/200 - Requirements : STR = 20+ - Ability : Rage (allows the user to enter a state of rage when their health drops below 5%)]
"Wow no wonder he crashed through that wall so easily" Rose said from beside me looking at the blue window. She picked up a white hooded cloak from pile and appraised it,
[Cloak of Ezio - Rare - Once worn by the best assassin to ever walk the earth, he lived in the shadows and fought for the good of mankind against the Evil Templar Knights - ATK +500 AGI + 8 - Durability : 140/180 - Requirements - Must know Stealth skill - Ability : Blend (allows the user to dissappear quietly into any croud)]
"Wow" I said out loud while looking at the cloak in my hands, this item was perfect for me. "See something you like?" Rose called over from the other pile whilst holding a short silver rod that glowed blue, "How about I take this wand and you can take the cloak and shield since you did most of the work?" she proposed as she twirled the wand around in her hand. "Okay sure" I replied after appraising the wand,
[Wand of Glinda - Rare - Once used by the Good Witch of the North to bring peace and prosperity throughout all the lands - INT +12 - Durability : 120/180 - Requirements : Must know one skill that heals others - Ability : +20% efficiency when using heal skills]
We then went through the green and white equipment to see what was good. I ended up with five more items while Rose took four. All together I now had: the noob chestplate, the Nordic Dagger, a pair of gauntlets, a pair of ear rings, a belt, the Cloak of Ezio, a pair of boots and a long sword.
[Mythril Gauntlets - Uncommon - hand crafted by master craftsmen elves in the depths of their treetop kingdom - DEF +200 - Durability : 50/80]

[Lizardman Boots - Uncommon - Crafted by Lizardmen, for Lizardmen, from Lizardmen - DEF +200 - Durability : 60/80]
[Mythril Long Sword - Uncommon - hand crafted by master craftsmen elves in the depths of their treetop kingdom - ATK + 250 - Durability : 40/60]
All of the items had lowered durability due to the previous owner's deaths but I didn't care much about most of the items anyway. There was also a pile of coins that were dropped once the trio died, 3000 in all we divided it equally 1500 each. I looked over to Rose to see that she was now fully decked out in her new equipment, I'm not gonna lie she looked super hot. She realised I was staring and turned away. I quickly turned my head away, trying not to look, as if she were the sun, yet I saw her, like the sun, even without looking.
I hadn't really noticed before but Rose was really cute. Her red auburn hair fell perfectly around her beautifully freckled face, her sleek figure helped to outline her quite noticeable curves, she had body in just the right places in just the right amount. I wiped drool from the corner of my mouth and stood up from my crouched position.
"We should probably get going." I said while patting her on the shoulder again "Yeah okay." she said back while turning her head towards the direction I walked in. "Do you think we can put some of this stuff in our inventory?" she said while pointing to some snacks that were sitting on a nearby shelf. "That's a great idea, good thinking." I said while flashing her a smile, she smiled back trying hard to stop the redness forming on her cheeks.
I reached towards some Crisps on the shelf in front of me and said "Inventory". A blue screen popped up in front of me, it was just a large rectangle with five columns and 5 rows meaning 25 slots. I experimented for a few minutes before storing everything in the store that I thought was useful into my inventory. The inventory could not hold living objects it could store the same or similar items in stacks of upto 64 meaning that I could have upto 380 objects in my inventory at any one time. I wasn't sure if food spoiled or not so I also took all of the sandwiches and pasta from the ready to eat section. Rose also roamed around filling her inventory with anything she felt she might need, clothes, food, soap and hygiene products were among the things she kept.
Once I made it to the medical ailse I decided to fill up on all of the basic medicines: painkillers, anti-inflamitories, cough medicine, cold and flu, pretty much everything except antibiotics which could only be found in actual pharmacies or hospitals. As I walked towards the end of the aisle I saw something that caught my eye. There were four large boxes of 'Big Boy Dickie's Condoms', I looked around to make sure that Rose wasn't looking and then I stashed them in my inventory hoping they would come in useful later.
Satisfied with the products that we had pilfered we headed towards the front of the shop to head off into the street. "So where are we going?" Rose asked as they stepped onto the pavement. They were currently in Central Manchester but it looked different, there were a bunch of people gathered at one end of the street with different pieces of armour on. They were gathered around a tall white building, it was three stories high and was made of what looked to be quartz but on closer inspection the material would shine different colours when you moved your eyes. "I guess we should probably see what's goin on down there." I said while pointing at the large white building at the end of the street. She looked towards the building and then pouted and crossed her arms, "What's wrong?" I asked as I thought I had done something wrong. But she just pointed towards the big building and said "That's where Prim@rk used to be".
When I learned the reason for her behaviour I burst out in uncontrollable laughter and clutched my stomach. She looked at me dejectedly as I laughed at her, "That was my favourite store." she whispered under her breath still pouting at me. I managed to stop my ceaseless laughter and nudge her with my elbow, "You know you're pretty cute when your all pouty like that, if your not careful I just might kiss you." she suddenly stopped pouting and turned redder than ever before. She had never had anyone be so brazen to her in public before, she had no idea what to do in these situations, luckily for her once she stopped pouting I looked away and started walking down the street as if nothing had happened, she quickly followed at my heels.
