After some thought I increase WIS to 16 and INT to 26, its not a massive increase but it should help, the empty title slots annoying me a little so I go to the titles menu to see what I've got there.

Ignoring the last one (for now) I decide on [Game Nerd], magic missile has been in countless games so hopefully should count, I move onto the skill book, after some confusion I realise its been added to the books section of my inventory and take it out,

Objective : Defeat the Boss of the Easy Zombie Dungeon
Reward : ?, 500 credits, 5000 exp
Interesting, very interesting. But I don't really want to add a zombie horde to my apartment building, so I suppose it's time to head out of the building. As I leave the front door I quickly notice that the streets are completely empty, and the surrounding buildings seem unused, I seem to be in a residential area with rows of houses around my apartment complex. Trying the next houses front door reveals that its unlocked but as I explore the house I realise its clearly never been lived in, it's furnished but everything is perfect, too perfect. There's none of the wear and tear furniture gets from everyday use. So I leave and keep going down the street.
As I'm walking I hit a barrier, literally. At the end of the street is a invisible wall preventing me from going any further, After dismissing the message that I had taking -1 HP Damage I run to the other end of the street reveals the same. I can't climb over the fences behind the houses either.
[Hint]
While the hub world starts small, it can be upgraded in the store once it is unlocked!
Nice to know, but pretty useless at the moment. Since I can't leave I guess here will have to do.
”[ID Create, Zombies]”
Please choose a difficulty for this dungeon
[Easy] [Normal] [Hard] [Nightmare]
Normal, Hard and Nightmare are greyed out so I select Easy, The moment I do the sky goes dark. The only illumination is from the full moon, which would be great if it wasn't a pale red. I can already hear m_o_a_ning and movement from the street, luckily I'm still in a back garden so I crouch and slowly sneak around the house to the front garden, hiding behind the front fence I glance over to see a figure stumbling down the street, it seems to be alone.
Skill added [Sneak]
[Sneak] (Active) LVL 1/100 (0/100)
Allows the user to stay undetected, more effective in dark environments or behind cover
At level 25 users movement will become silent
At level 50 user will have all scents removed while sneaking

I dismiss the notification for now, I really don't have the time to be messing with menus right now.
As it gets closer to my hiding spot I can see that it looks female, her skin looks pale and sickly, her clothes torn and blood stained. She has blood stains around her mouth and red eyes that almost glow. I think I could beat her with my [Magic Missile] skill. As I'm focusing on her a new notification appears.
Skill added [Observe]
[Observe] (Active) LVL 1/100 (0/100)
Provides information on target
At level 25 targets perks and emotional state will be revealed
At level 50 targets background and skills will be revealed
At level 100 targets thoughts about the user and the targets secrets will be revealed (when applicable)
[Female Zombie] LVL 1
HP – 100
SP – 100
Primary stat – Strength
That's useful, extremely so once its leveled. If she only has 100 HP I can kill her easy enough it would just take 3 [Magic Missiles]. Doable but it would almost empty my MP so I better not miss. I hide back behind the fence and wait for her to pass and slowly leave the garden getting behind her. I hold my hands apart and create my first [Magic Missile] between them, its smaller than I expected, barely the size of a baseball. It's a glowing purple orb, it looks pretty cool but the glow reveals my presence to my target. She turns and starts to shamble towards me, but she's very slow. I could outpace her with a fast walk.
As I thrust my hands forward my [Magic Missile] shoots forward and hits her in the c_h_e_s_t knocking her over, I quickly prepare another hitting her while she's down. And then one final one to finish her off. I feel pretty drained with my MP so low but I've won my first battle. I'm glad I have [Gamers Mind] because I'd definitely be freaking out over the corpse otherwise. She's missing parts of her c_h_e_s_t from where my [Magic Missiles] hit her, I can see her broken ribs and damaged organs. It's pretty gruesome, honestly it's a shame though, she's actually pretty cute if you look past the blood and gore.
Battle Won!
EXP – 50
Drops – Rotten Flesh
The exp is OK but I really could have done without rotten flesh in my inventory, apparently it's a crafting material but I have no idea what I'd make with it. As I wait for my MP to regen I hear more m_o_a_ning behind me, looking back I can see 6 more zombies shambling towards me, a quick observe reveals that they are all level 1. my MP is still recovering so I back away. They're still slow so there's no real threat as long as I keep moving. Thinking quickly I decide to create a new skill. I need something that can hit multiple targets, as a mage there's really only one choice.
'Skill Creation, Chain Lightning'
Skill Creation Failed
50 INT Required
...shit. Fine I can try more.
'Skill Creation, Fireball'
Skill added [Fireball]
[Fireball] (Active) LVL 1/100 (0/100)
250 MP to cast
Sends a fireball at target dealing (50+INT) Fire Damage, deals (25+(INT/2) to any targets within a 3 meter radius
Damage will be increased by 10 every 10 levels
MP cost will be reduced by 5 every 5 levels
At level 30 fireball will have a 25% chance to inflict [Burning], dealing 10 fire damage every 5 seconds
At level 60 fireball will no longer have friendly fire
At level 100 fireball will have a 5% chance to incinerate targets, killing them instantly (Does not effect boss characters or targets with a 10 level advantage over the user)
It's no chain lightning but it'll do, my MP has recovered enough to use my new spell so I create the [Fireball] in between my hands and throw it at the group, sending them flying back, it wasn't quite enough to kill the one it hit but it certainly bought me some time, which I'll need since my MP is practically empty. I hop a fence and run to one of the houses back gardens while they are still down. Jumping over a few more fences I find a bush to hide in before any of them manage to follow me. I can hear them moving into the first garden now that they've recovered from being thrown around. I stay in the bush for a while longer as they stumble around separating and wandering off to search for me. After a couple of minutes my MP is back to full so I leave my spot and return to the main street they 6 have spread around so I launch a [Magic Missile] at the closest knocking him over, then another to finish him.
Ignoring a notification that [Magic Missile] had leveled up I return to the back garden and wait for the rest to arrive, as my MP regens. As they start to funnel into the garden I prepare another [Fireball] and wait for them all to arrive and throw it at them.
Critical Hit! X2 Damage
[Hint]
Critical Hit chance is decided by your luck stat and the area hit, so make sure not to neglect it!
The group get blown apart by the explosion limbs flying away as the zombies are destroyed. I've seen countless characters use Fire magic before but it never felt quite as good as this. The heat makes me sweat and my heart has never beaten so fast, it's a wonderful feeling. Is this what pyromaniacs feel? If so then I completely understand why they'd risk their health and freedom for it. Magic is truly amazing. I don't even mind the smell of burnt flesh, it isn't pleasant but if a bad smell is the price of destroying my enemies with fire and explosions then it's a price I will gleefully pay.

Battle Won!
EXP – 300
Drops – Rotten Flesh x5
I check the messages as I calm myself. It's nice to have another feature unlocked and passive increases are always welcome. Once I've calmed down enough I realise that I'm still not done, the quest objective was to defeat a boss but I haven't seen anything like that yet. So I had back to the street after letting my MP Regen and switching my class to [Novice Mage]. In the middle of the street there's a single zombie but unlike the others this one is dressed differently, looking like he's just stepped out of a museum clad in Roman armour. I duck behind a fence and peer over so I use [Observe] on him.
[Zombie Warrior] LVL 5 {Boss}
HP – 250
SP – 200
Primary stat – Endurance
This should be doable, 3 [Magic Missiles] will deal around 120 damage with my new class, if I ambush him then retreat while he's knocked down I should be fine. I create my missile and launch it at the zombies back, the orb streaks through the air smashing into its back, it stumbles forward but doesn't fall so I follow up with another [Magic Missile]. The zombie hadn't recovered yet so the second shot knocks him to the ground, my third shot hits him directly in the face, Blasting away his skin and revealing the skull underneath.
Critical Hit! X2 Damage
Another observe shows that the boss is down to just under 100 HP but he is rising up quickly, far faster than the regular zombies. He gets back on his feet and starts running down the street. He isn't that fast, its more of a jog than a run but he's far faster than the shambling zombies I beat before. I retreat back into another garden hopping fences as I move from garden to garden. I can outpace him, as he attempts to follow. He clearly isn't very smart as he fails to get over the fences properly, falling over as he tries to climb them. My MP recovers while I run so I prepare another [Magic Missile] and send it at him as he blunders over a fence, knocking him back. With his health down so low it's the perfect time for another [Fireball].
Creating my little ball of destruction I admire its glow for a moment while the zombie tries to get over the fence again before launching it at him. I watch with glee as it connects melting his skin and blasting him across the garden. I get a warm fuzzy feeling as I look upon the devastation my spell caused, if this is what a level 2 mage can do I can't wait for the higher levels.

Once I arrive I notice a new door in my living room that wasn't there before, looks like I found my portal, as I approach it a new menu appears.

...looks like I'll be playing this game for a long long time.
AN : This is the first story I've ever written and honestly I shouldn't have started with a Gamer story, there's way too much to keep track off. I realise it's pretty stupid but hey I've got to start somewhere
I started writing this about 5 hours ago on a whim, I've read hundreds, if not thousands of Fanfics over the years and have finally decided to give it a try, please feel free to give me some advice, cause i have no idea what I'm doing
I do want to keep this going, though i don't really have a plan yet, i haven't even decided which world Shiro should go to first (if you have any preference let me know)
Thanks for spending some time reading, hope you enjoyed it at least a little bit if you read this far.
