I take a deep breath, open up the gate, and immediately take out my sword and block the incoming attack from the zombie near my gate. I then do a quick stab at the zombie's head and do a wide swing to kill the zombie coming from my right.
While I want to go to the level four area, I didn't want to attract unnecessary attention to myself.
I slowly but surely walk toward the level four monster zone, where I will create another base to snipe from above the building. I know it is a lame way to kill the enemy, but it is the safest way to do it. I want to level up, but I want to stay alive while doing it.
While walking along the street, I kill the level one and two zombies with my sword to increase the swordplay skill level. However, when I see a level three zombie, I shoot it first before finishing it with my sword.
With this, I can increase the XP for my skill.
Anyway, I already arrived in the area where all the enemy is level two. However, instead of stopping here, I continue to walk closer to the boss tower, and the monster continues to become stronger and stronger.
I continue to walk closer to the boss tower, and after about an hour of walking, I arrive in the area where the level four zombie is roaming around. I am scouting around the area where my usual base is located. I chose this house because there are only two zombies inside the house, and the veranda is big enough for me to sleep, train, and cook my food.
Not only that, the veranda is located high enough for the ladder I purchase from the shop to reach it. So, when I want to take my arrow, I don't need to break my barricade and attract the zombie inside and the outside of the house.
Anyway, I open up the door to the house, and when I see one of the zombies charging toward me, I do a quick shot and hit the zombie in the head before taking out my sword then stab it in the neck before cutting its head.
Hearing the scream of the zombie on the first floor, the one on the second floor ran downstairs, and when it saw me, it immediately ran toward me. I aim and shoot it in the head, and when the zombie close enough, I cut down its head with my sword.
[DING, Congratulations!]
[LEVEL UP! Level 2 reached!]
[You get One Gacha Token and Ten SP (Statuts Point) you can spend]
Oh? I don't know if that was the last zombie I needed to kill.
"Status"
~Name: Homura Ryobe~
~Job: None~
~Level: 2 (3/20000)~
~HP: 345/345(+15 from Equipment)~
~MP: 720.720~
~STR: 25 -> 30 (Level up!)~
~VIT: 28 -> 33 (Level Up!)~
~INT: 67 -> 72 (Level Up!)~
~LCK: 10~
~TP: 83.260~
~SP: 10~
I get five points in every status except luck. Not only that, but I can also use my SP to increase my status even more. However, I will not use my point this early as I know by looking at the XP requirement to the next level. I will need all the SP available for me.
Twenty thousand XP needed to level up? It doubles up the amount needed to level up to level three. Collecting ten thousand XP is already a chore, and now the system wants me to collect twenty thousand XP? Godammit.
"Haaaaa…"
I couldn't help but only to accept my fate. I only need to hunt more and more zombies. Lucky for me, the stronger the zombie, the more XP I get from killing it. Unfortunately for me, the stronger the zombie, the higher the chance of me being killed.
For now, I need to get as much TP as I can so I can buy the sword that will help me fight the zombie more easily.
"Let's do this."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hmmm~ Hmmmm~
I cannot wait to meet Ryobe-kun and see him enchanting my weapon! Yesterday I couldn't do that because of an emergency call from my father saying that I need to go back home to receive my new armor created from the Jurogumo thread.
An artifact needs to be bound by the user before it searches its own owner and leaves the one that makes it. The ritual itself is not too complicated. It only needs my blood and my mana to bind the artifact.
Anyway! Ryobe-kun says that I can come to his house where he will enchant my weapon. When I arrive in front of Ryobe-kun's house, I press the bell button and wait for him. A few seconds later, I see him open up the door and look at me.
"Good Morning, Ryobe-kun!"
"Good Morning, Yuka-san. Please come in."
"Please excuse me."
I walk inside and look around. I feel a little bit disappointed, but I guess it was my only high expectation. I guess the home of an enchanter is the same as your normal human being.
"So, Ryobe-kun?"
"Ah, yes. Please take out your weapon."
I nod at him and take out my weapon from the storage scroll and give it to him.
"This is the weapon my father gave me when I was ten years old. This weapon can increase my spell output by a hundred percent."
"I see. Let's do this."
I look at Ryobe-kun caressing my weapon before suddenly his hand glows a little bit. For a few minutes, I see my weapon glowing up, and I can feel my staff become stronger and stronger. If my previous magic staff only released mana, this time, I can feel it releasing holy energy. Not only that, but I can also feel my magic staff become more durable than before.
After waiting for another few seconds, Ryobe-kun took away his hand from my weapon before looking at me.
"I'm done. You can test this weapon in your house. If there is a problem with your weapon, let me know."
"Thank you!"
"No problem."

[Onmyouji Staff]
[An Onmyouji staff made from a thousand-year tree branch with a core of a snow fox. It has been blessed with a holy attribute]
[Damage: 15 + (50% STR)]
[Passive Skill: Amplify any spell used with this staff by 200% and let the user easier to control their magic.]
[Passive Skill (II): Bonus damage to an evil creature by 150%]
[Passive Skill (III): 25% Chance causing the enemy to get burned by holy fire. Holy Fire cause two damage per seconds for one minute]
I must say, I'm not impressed by the stats of her magic staff. Originally the staff can only amplify a hundred percent of the spell used in this weapon; however, after I use my blessing, it increases by fifty percent every time I bless it.
Not only that, the base attack of that weapon is only five damage per hit without any bonus damage. However, after I bless it, now it can cause damage to fifteen per hit and bonus fifty percent of total STR.
Not only that, but my two blessings also give the weapon two more passive skills that I must say are very useful in fighting against a monster. However, I refrain from blessing it even further as I don't want to destroy the weapon or make it too powerful and get myself unnecessary attention.
I really hope that I don't doom myself with this decision.
