Chapter 20 - Grinding xp

"Well fuck, I can't tunnel out, I can't go through the wall, and I can't touch that gate. If I wasn't a zombie, I'd say I'm beyond boned. Besides grinding xp and going for skills I'd say I have no way out." So far, Malorn can't find a way out of this place. So, upon discovering he's stuck decided to try grinding xp and get skills.

[system recommends a cannon] "How does a cannon solve my problem?" [Fire cannons of death over the wall at a city, easy xp] "Why are you trying to help me gain xp and what price would a cannon of that caliber be?" [The system is built to help you succeed and the price for basic death cannon is 30,000xp] "How is that a basic cannon and why a death cannon?" [Basic cannon capable of dealing lethal damage up to 40 miles, using negative energy to fire a negative energy projectile with a blast radius of15ft] "Oh"

Now, Malorn has a plan for gaining xp and spreading death. Only problem is that he doesn't have the xp for it. And upon looking at his poor xp amount,[xp: 120], realized it may take a few years of constant grinding. "System, can you warn me if another beam of death or new change in my area happens?" [Yes] Walking back to his home, Malorn starting killing the undead there. "By the time this ends, I may end up hating undead"

2 years later....

Malorn is still at work killing other undead, although it's become kind of like a habit. Looking at his xp amount,[xp: 9,610] he realized at it's taking too long. "Can't something good for me actually happen!? It's too fucking boring out here!" After that outburst, Malorn went into his house and took a break for the first time in two years. "Bill guard the open door." woof. Bill the skeleton hound is still around of course and goes to lay down by the door. The hound looks exactly the same as before. Malorn goes to where his ragged and still blood covered bed is and lay down. "I know I can't feel tired but the boredom is just too much, I need living people to slaughter for the thrill. Plus they give better xp." But unbeknownst to Malorn, he could soon get his wish...

*********************************************************************************************************"Sir, are you sure we can go in? It's the sight of the Shadowheart disaster a few years ago." Saying this is a younger teenager, high-school age. "Tom, quit your worrying, we can do this, it's only a couple scattered and slow moving basic tier undead." And this, is Jerry his older brother who is with him and his girlfriend Rose as they take a trip to "pay respects" to the Shadowheart heir that died.

"ENOUGH, I'm telling you to go to prove you have some worth. We have reports of a tremor occurring around in there, you are to see what's happening and report back. Nothing more and nothing less, remember besides those killing the undead there, the Shadowhearts only like those paying respects to be there. And remember that house and everything in it is off limits as it's said there's a curse planted on it." The hardass speaking to these 3 is a school official of a city that rests 20 miles to the north of the ruin as it's called.
