Kain just stared at the glowing red screen before him for a moment, he just stared at it and wondered what had lead his life(reincarnation?) to this. He dies, goes to heaven, meets God, is told he is to "destroy the zombie menace" of some world, oh, and that God had just made his life a video game.

….. He was never helping people again damn it! No good deed unpunished indeed.

Sighing he stepped forward and tapped the insistently pulsing new game icon, and immediately his vision was filled with a 3d image of himself, messy brown hair, blue eyes, average face and build, and about five foot six.

Looking above the hologram he saw CHARACTER CREATOR! In large bold letters. Looking back at his image he observed a slider ext to it and prodded it experimentally. Jumping backwards in suprise when his hologram self shot up about two inches in height.

"Okay, note to self, don't touch strange buttons if you don't want them to do anything." prodding the slider down to it's original position he looked at the rest of the screen, seeing ACCEPT CHARACTER! At the bottom right corner.

After a moment of thought, he decided he was fine with how he looked and clicked the Accept character button, just wanting to get through all these options he just knew was going to show up.

Yup, he was right the next two pages had been nothing but the history of the world he was going into, apparently it was the walking dead world, which did give him a measure of relief he had to admit. At least it wasn't Resident Evil, that would have been a nightmare and a half. Sighing he tabbed for the next screen, already bored out of his mind.

That's actually pretty accurate for my stats kain admitted to himself. Starring at his stats he tried to figure out how to invest his points. Okay so let's see can we get a exact description of the skill, to see what we are dealing with?

Nothing happened at his question so he frowned and reached out and tapped STR, and a description popped up.

STR- AFFECT HOW MUCH YOU CAN CARRY, THE DAMAGE OF ALL MEELE AND UNARMORED WEAPONS, AS WELL AS EFFECTING YOU'RE STABILTIY WHEN FIRING A RANGED WEAPON. GIVES PLUS 5 MEELE AND UNARMED DAMAGE PER EVERY TEN LEVELS

Huh, he mused to himself, so it is basically the fallout strength stat. Nodding to himself kain tapped on the rest getting a long list of descriptions in a row.

END- AFFECTS YOUR HIT POINTS, DAMAGE RESITENCE AND YOUR STAMINA

PLUS -5 DAMAGE FROM ATTACKS PER EVERY TEN LEVELS.

DEX- AFFECTS YOU SPEED, EVASION, AND ATTACK SPEED. PLUS 5 RANGED WEAPON DAMAGE PER EVERY TEN LEVELS.

INT- AFFECTS HOW MUCH YOU KNOW, HOW QUICKLY YOU LEARN, AND HOW MUCH MP YOU HAVE. GIVE PLUS 25 MP PER EVERY TEN LEVELS.

CHA- AFFECTS HOW MUCH PEPOLE LIKES YOU, AND HOW PURSUASIVE YOU ARE. GIVE PLUS 5 TO SPEECH AND BARTER EVERY TEN LEVELS.

WIS- AFFECTS HOW WELL YOU USE THE KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE, AND MANA REGENERATION. PLUS 2 MANA REGEN PER EVERY TEN LEVELS.

LUC- AFFECTS CHANCE FOR RARE LOOT DROPS, AFFECTS STEALTH, AND LOCKPICK. PLUS 5 PERCENT RARE LOOT DROP PERCENTAGE PER EVERY TEN LEVELS, PLUS 5 STEALTH AND LOCKPICK PER EVERY TEN LEVELS.

Well, those were interesting stats, the stats carrying bonuses every ten levels were nice, and if done right would let him level what he assumed must be skilled up without having to use them or put points into them.

Okay, so lets see here, 25 points to spend, and no idea whats going on except it is a zombie apocalypse. Hmm mm, okay he figured strength would be good, if only to carry more and to get the bonus to melee and unarmed, knives never ran out of ammo after all.

Sooooooo, 5 points to strength, he dost see a save function so lets assume dying is permanent so there is anther 5 to endurance, dodging zombies is probably a good idea so 5 to dex, hmmmmm.

Kain wasn't sure about intelligence, sure it made him smarter, but he had no idea how MP would work. Wis was in the same boat, it made him use more efficient use of his knowledge and governed MP regen but again he didn't have a clue how the spells would actually work in real life. Still the intelligence boost was enticing so 4 to int and 5 to wisdom, hopefully that wold help him figure out the best way to deal with the "zombie menace".

H okay so... one point left huh? Meh, may as well dump it into CHA he guessed, make that a nice 5.

So his stats now stood at...

STR-12

END-10

DEX-9

INT-10

CHA-5

WIS-10

LUC-5

Not to bad at all, kain decided, it wasn't really focused to much so he figured being an all a rounder would keep him alive pretty well since he didn't know what to really expect out there.

…. Well beyond the hordes of ravenous flesh eating monstrosities of course, but hey, surely he could handle a few zombies with his current stats right? Okay, yeah, so maybe his charisma and luck were low but really, how important were they to surviving in a zombie apocalypse? ….. Okay, he was raising luck the first chance he got.

Shaking out of his thoughts he quickly tabbed the next screen that was helpfully labeled as PERKS!

INTENSE TRANING- GAIN THREE POINTS IN THE CHOSEN ATRRIBUTES

I'M GONNA GET SKILLZ!- GAIN 10 ADDITONAL EXP FORM ALL QUESTS AND MOBS KILLED.

LADYKILLER- UNLOCKS UNIQUE DIALOGUE OPTIONS WITH THE OPOSITE SEX, DOES TEN MORE POINTS OF DAMGE TO FEMALES!

GOTTA LOVE DAT BOOTY!-ALL ENEMIES NOW DROP 5 DOLLARS, NO MATTER WHO OR WHAT THEY ARE.

YOLO SWAGGINS!- YOU'RE BOSS AN YOU KNOW IT, SO EVERYONE ELSE NEEDS TOO TO! GAIN PLUS 15 LEADERSHIP, AND PLUS ONE CHARISMA.

TURST ME... I THINK I'M A PROFESIONAL!- GAIN PLUS TEN TO MEDICINE.

I'M THE JUGGURNAUGHT, BITCH!- ALLOWS YOU TO BASH THROUGHT MOST WEAK MATERIALS. ( PLASTER, DRYWALL, WOOD.)

EAGLEEYED- PLUS TWELVE AIMAING, PLUS TWO PERCEPTION.

Kain blinked at all the stats, he really was expecting there to be more then two or three, and most of them even seemed pretty decent to! Wait... decent perks... only three starting points... he was never going to get that many again was he?

Kain blinked again snapping himself out of yet another emo funk, he had to get over that habit already! Everyone knows the zombies eat the emos first, well, no, actually they eat the fat people first, but that was only because they couldn't catch the emo people as easily! If they could, they would totally eat them first!

Sighing he puled himself from yet another tangent and went back to trying to decide which perk he wanted. Let's see, plowing threw walls? Yeah, probably a good perk, but also probably equally as loud and attention catching, so probably not something he wanted so early on in the game.

Right, no xmen references for him then! Ugh, the booty perk sound interesting but he had no idea how much use money would be, or if there would even be shops, so also not something he was going to invest in right off the bat. Honestly, looking at the perks right now most seemed to be something that would either be useful later on, or was more of a situational perk. He needed something to help him survive the first 15 minutes of contact damn it , then he could worry about the years to come!

Lets see, so defiantly intense training, that would take care of his luck right there for him! No unfortunate slip for him, thank you very much! Also, the skillz perk, cause more exp is always a bonus. In his book more exp meant more levels, and that meant more point, which made him a very happy boy indeed. Soooooo, two down one to go, this one was a toughie, the pluses seemed really useful to him, the medicine would be good, since he had no knowledge of medicine beyond "rub some dirt on it", however the leadership and aim would be good to, plus perception would help him not be munched to death by zombies. He wasn't popcorn, he didn't want to be munched, thank you very much! On the other hand, there never really seemed to be enough doctors in the zombie apocalypse, so their was that as well. And when there are no real doctors you get guys pretending to be doctors, like Zed from Borderlands, or his crazy not at all him brother, the evil doctor Ned!

Yup, totally taking the doctor perk, besides, he had always wanted to be a professional, damn it! And so nodding his head vigorously, Kain accepted his three choices and was rewarded with yet another screen smacking him in the face. Oh joy. It better not be asking if he want to be a boy or a girl...

Oh, no, it s a merits screen, nice, apparently he has three of those as well! Maybe god isn't such a huge dick after all! So lets see...

MERITS!

LEG UP- GAIN AN IMMDEITATE LEVE UP, WITH ALL THAT COMES WTH IT! COSTS-2 MERIT POINTS

I SEE YOU OVER THERE... GUY WITH THE FACE!- GAIN PLUS TEN TO YOUR PERCEPTION- COST- 1 MERIT POINT

HAWK WITH A SNIPER RIFLE- GAIN THE ABILTIY TO ZOOM YOUR EYES TO 2,4, AND 6X MAGNIFICATION- COST-3 MERIT POINTS

HA, DIRECTION ARE FOR THE LOST!... WHICH I AM NOT!-GAIN A MAP OF ALL AREAS YOU ENTER-COST-5 MERIT POINTS

THE LOOT RANGER- ALL LOOT WITH THE EXCEPTION FO RARE AND LEGENSRY ITEMS ARE DOUBLED BY ONE, SO YOU GET TWO! YAY YOU!- COST-1 MERIT POINT.

And here he had thought the perks were decent, damn! Give me that level up, you great big level up screen you! Grinning happily, he perused the other after frantically mashing the level up merit a few dozen times. Grinning is much less annoying when he was the one doing it, he decided idly while browsing the section again. Only having one point limited him to two choices, and ultimately he decided on the perception merit, since he had passed over the other on the perks screen and perception was important enough to outweigh the prospect of more loot at the moment. Early game not long game is the name of the ….. er... well "game," here!

Happy with his choices, Kain prods the accept button wondering how many more screens were to go, oh... at least one more apparently, cause he was back at the stats screen. Lets see , yup got 5 more point to spend, so hmm, luck it is then. He didn't really want to be tripping over the only object for miles with the zombie hoard on his ass now did he? Did he? No, upon further thought he decided he did not, in fact, want to trip and be consumed by the zombie masses. Who knew where their hands and mouths had been! The mouth was the germiest part of the human body, and he could only shudder as he thought how much worse it would be for a zombie. Maybe that's why they were so upset all the time? Because their faces were rotting off? That would defiantly upset him alright, he liked his face, damn it!

An impatient jingle from the game screen brought him back to reality, and he belatedly pressed the except button, maybe he should get that distraction thing looked at? Oh well, shaking it off as not that important he observed the perk screen once more before him. Cool, he got a perk with his level up! Awesome sauce! Or as they say in Spain, awsemo sauco! Yup, that's totally how they say it in Spain.

Another buzz again got his attention back where it really needed to be, focus on the magical screen in front of him. Blinking, he clicked the lady killer perk, since it would give him bonus damage against (hopefully) roughly half of the enemies he would face.

On hitting accept he heard a Ding! And a new screen appeared before him.

THIS IS YOUR CHARACTER- YES/NO?

Under his character stats page he saw a 3d model of himself, and after a quick scan to make sure it was all right, he clicked accept. As soon as his hand touched the button there was a bright red flash and a very loud "Finally!" and then he was falling into darkness.
