Dead Man Walking: Living By Day, Dead By Night

Chapter 163: New Gear



Chapter 163: New Gear

The following week kept Zane and the residents of Gravestone busy. By now they had all come to learn of the undead, which Zane controlled. And their assistance in harvesting the resources of the undead was invaluable.

Very quickly, Zane was not only able to provide some basic low level uncommon quality equipment to all of his undead. And in doing so created a versatile army full of hoplite like spearmen, archers, skirmishers, et cetera. But Zane had also finally been able to provide his girls with the equipment most suited for their skill sets.

If Madison's armor was a set of stereotypical fantasy RPG bikini armor with a gilded and fanciful appearance. Then Elena's gear was of a similar style, albeit of an eastern variety. Today was the day that Zane was able to present the girls with their equipment.

And though overjoyed at first to finally get weapons and armor that could match Madison, the women in Zane's life were quickly dismayed by the fact that they looked like a group of harlots. Elena was blushing profusely while trying to cover her cleavage, and thighs were on open display through her armor that could only be described as an otaku's fantasy.

After all, her armor and weapons came in the form of those somewhat reminiscent of the legendary Samurai. But like Madison's armor, there was way too much skin visible. If it weren't for the system providing an actual armor rating and equal protection across her body, then there was no way such scantily clad "armor" could possibly function with its intention.

Olivia, however, was far more comfortable with her gear. She wore a set of mage's robes, which, like the other girls, left very little to the imagination. Perhaps it was the fact that she was more mature than Elena, or maybe it was simply because she enjoyed showing off her assets to Zane.

Regardless, Olivia clung to Zane and asked for his opinion while Elena was trying to die of shame.

"Hey Zane! How do I look? Pretty sexy, right? Zane! Are you even listening to me?"

Madison's armor was gold and black, and Elena's armor was red and black. But Olivia's mage's robes were silver and blue. She even had a tall wizard's hat, which she thought was fairly stylish. As for Angelica, perhaps the system had granted her favor, but her equipment was actually normal.

In fact, it was a pair of white silk priest fantasy priest robes. There wasn't even a hint of cleavage, almost as if the system was saying that healers should be modest. Either way, Zane's attention was actually drawn to Angelica, rather than Olivia, who was embarrassed by the fact that she alone wasn't dressed like a common strumpet, or was it perhaps guilt in her eyes?"

Either way, Zane ignored Olivia's advances and approached Angelica, where he patted her on her head and assured her that she looked nice.

"You look lovely Angelica! As a proper Saintess should."

Angelica only blushed more profusely, while Olivia and Elena glared at the woman for monopolizing Zane's attention. The reason Angelica was so flustered is because she never liked the nickname she had been given by those who she saved with her powers.

Saintess? How could she be such a holy being? It was simply improper to compare her with the saints of humanity! Still, if Zane was complimenting her, she would not refuse it, and thus Angelica mustered the courage to thank Zane for his words, even if it was in a quiet and meek tone.

"Thank you…"

With their current equipment and the sheer volume of blood crystals they currently had at their disposal. Zane began to help his girls level up. Giving them each enough blood crystals to gain a proper level.

Zane focused on guiding Angelica with her leveling process. Who applied her +2 attributes to the Wisdom stat, which was the attribute associated with her healing ability.

What came next was Elena's stats. Since she was a warrior type building, Zane decided to allocate her points to strength. She was also now level 15, and because of that, she also received a skill point.

[Time Reduction – Tier IV]

[Description: Your ability to control time had advanced to new levels. Not only are you capable of slowing down and stopping time altogether, but you now have the ability to rewind time itself by thirty seconds, as well as choose who are affected by this skill.]

---

Elena was excited by this revelation. To rewind time by thirty seconds was a major lifesaving ability. It meant that if someone in their party suffered a fatal injury, she could prevent it from ever happening by making the clock go back to before it happened.

It was truly an amazing ability, so much so that Elena completely forgot her skimpy outfit and jumped with joy. Her rather large breasts jiggled as she did so in a way that caught Zane's attention. It was only after she realized the man was staring at her chest did Elean become embarrassed again, covering her ample assets and falling to the floor, trying to hide her shame.

Zane had no choice but to look away from Elena's actions, as even he felt a bit embarrassed for the girl. But Angelica and Elena were only two of those who would level up. And like Elena, Olivia would also be reaching level 15.

This meant that Olivia would also be gaining an improvement in her current skill. One that Zane greatly anticipated. After all, the woman had saved his bacon more times than he could count, and if she became even more powerful, that was a blessing to not only Zane, but all of the residents of Gravestone as well.
