《Stuck in a zombie world with an OP shop》Chapter 12
Advertisement
At the closing of the day, Ryan climbs to the top of the manhole. Taking a glance at his credits, he grins at the number, 10224. While he could kill a zombie every three seconds, it took some time for them to gather. Ryan silently thanked whatever God had given him this location, and he reaches the top.
Laying under the van, on the right side, Ryan purchases a concrete block for 15 credits. 'Cheep,' He thinks, and the block fills most of the distance between the van bottom and the pavement. Ryan pushes the block to the tire, then buys another one. After ten concrete blocks, the distance between the wheels on the right side has been filled. With four blocks for the front wheels and four blocks for the rear wheels, Ryan has the entire area blocked off.
The entire creation only costs 270 credits and has given Ryan a safe place to sleep for the night. For 400 credits, Ryan buys a pillow. After eating a steak dinner for 215 credits and throwing the trash into the manhole, Ryan goes to sleep.
The next morning, Ryan wakes up and repeats the cycle of killing zombies and eating food. To speed the process, Ryan bought the skill Spears four times for 1200 credits, raising his current level to Spears 5. To test out the pistol, Ryan bought electronic earplugs for a whopping 3200 credits, and six .22 LR bullets for 6 credits.
The action of the pistol still worked, so Ryan had high hopes for the gun not exploding in his hand. Even thought he wanted to test the gun, he wasn't going to fire it inside the manhole or inside his secure base. Instead, Ryan placed the gun inside the inner pocket of his jacket and went back inside the manhole. If another person tried to attack him, Ryan would use the gun in a cramped location, but not otherwise.

At lunch time, Ryan climbed the ladder up and then went onto the roof of the van. There, he had a great vantage point over the street. A few zombies had gathered, so Ryan felt it would be a good time to test the gun.
The first shot, Ryan aims it at a zombie approximately sixty feet away. He turns on the earplugs and holds the gun with both hands, then fires. The gunshot echoes through the city, and the bullet misses. 'Damn,' Ryan thinks, and he buys ten levels of Shooting for 3000 credits. At his next shot, the head of the targeted zombie explodes.
After four more shots, Ryan has killed four more zombies. To reload, Ryan buys a high table for 400 credits, and ten bullets for 10 credits. Placing the pistol on the table, Ryan loads the magazine with all ten bullets and then places it back inside the pistol.
A few minutes later, Ryan has killed all the nearby zombies. The credits earned was enough to pay for the bullets, but not the skill levels he bought. However, if the pistol would help when fighting hostile humans, the cost of three thousand credits would be well worth it.
Ryan washes his hands with a glass of water and places the gun inside his jacket. Leaving the table on top of the van, he returns to the manhole and resumes the killing of zombies.
At the end of the day, Ryan sleeps under the van. He's gained a large sum of credits for the day's zombie killing, but most went to skills and the earplugs. Ryan wonders what the battery life on the earplugs is, but they were only on for a few minutes, so he thinks they will last a while longer. Even if they need to be replaced every day, the cost would only be a few dozen credits for each battery.

Magitech Awakenings
In this world of Terrapia, myth states that Dragons are caretakers of the chaos wheel, a band of energy that encircles the world, penetrating through the very fabric of the dimension. They tame and convert it, not only to fuel their primal magic, but also to gentler forms that man and beast alike can tap. But now they have faded away, being sighted less and less the past couple millennia. With magic weakening, science has taken root and in many cases merged in a symbiosis with magic. Guppy Bright, a 17 year old young woman, is a technomancer apprentice living in the bustling city of Nolusburg trying to make ends meet. Apprenticed to the enigmatic and somewhat crazy Technomancer Friedrich BrassTuner, she participates in an experiment meant to tap a new rich source of energy. However something goes horribly wrong and a rip in the very fabric of reality opens in the workshop, sucking in her mentor and ejecting a dying white dragon. The dragon, after examining her, takes a gamble and entwines their souls, an act that causes the dragon, Barthurthalomalew Dresnarian Kratomanger Harrowhew Objuslorow, the 5th, aka Batty, to regress into a baby dragon, sealing much of his powers and memories in the process. This act also has profound effects on Guppy, her own magic is now crazily changed in ways no one, least of all her, understands. Guppy is suddenly plunged into a world of mystery, intrigue and politics, where everyone either wants to control, or eliminate her. Armed with little but her courage and unpredictable newfound magic how will she survive and protect herself and those she loves when everyone from techno radicals, magic purists, politicians and guttersnipes are out to get her. And those may be the least of her problems if Batty's fragmented memories are any indicator.

Chimera
Eleanor meant the world to Titus. So when an opportunity to bring her murderer to justice appears, Titus jumps on the chance. His quest, however, would mean traversing the dangerous world of Nivandor, a land infested with monsters, night hunters, and corrupt kings–nothing he and his lord, Lady Priscilla, couldn't handle. Their plans change, however, when both of them are dragged into a nightmare realm, a dimension filled with strange and powerful terrors unlike any they've ever faced. Titus's skill as a kinetic mage is put to the ultimate test as he must work with his lord to fight off the increasingly dangerous monsters that hunt them as they hunt down the three remaining Seraph lords sustaining the Nightmare. For only when the final Seraph lord is slain will the Nightmare truly end. --- Happy Holidays! I tried to get a chapter out this month, but there was just too much stuff to do and I got sick. There will also be more stuff to do come the month of December to the point that I don't think I will have a chance to finish the current story arc on a strong note. So, as of today, I will be going on hiatus until the holidays are over. I will hopefully return with the last few chapters of book 2 as well as the DLC chapters to help clarify Titus and Priscilla's powers as well as a look into their lives before the story gets crazy (maybe 6-7 chapters). These chapters are planned to take place in the day between Chapter 1.4 & Chapter 1.5, detailing the day they had before going to Nivandor. How the DLC chapters will be titled is to be decided. The DLC chapters will be posted here free as usual. Really excited to get a break so I can catch up on chapters. Even more excited to be able to start book 3 once the current story arc is finished. Warmly, Daniel --- Disclamer: This story is not a finished product and will be undergoing changes, sometimes significant changes, as the story develops. Think of it as an early access story where nothing is fully set in stone. If I change a part of the story that you really love, I'm sorry, but changing one part of the story will affect the other parts I try to avoid major changes, especially in older chapters, but for the newer ones there will probably be more fine tuning. As for anyone invested in the story who is not happy with the way the story is going, feel free to DM me so I can get feedback. I want to know how you guys feel about the story, what changes I can make, at what point in the story I may have lost you. But until I get specific feedback, I won't know what changes might need to be made. There are about 14 chapters left for Part 2 of Chimera, give or take. I don't have a time frame for when they will be up but know I am chipping away at the chapters as I can. Warm Regards, Daniel --- Cover art credit goes to Brosedesignz, who has an awesome selection of both premade and custom book covers at great prices on her website. She can also be found at thebookcoverdesigner.com, which is where I found my cover.
