Soo Min-ji cursed under her breath, "Okay, let me see my stats."

An interface appeared, showing her stats.

 She grimaced at the screen, "You did not tell me my stamina points reduces! Ugh," she huffed, "How do I increase it please?"

 [Beep! By completing, daily tasks, and quests.]

 "Oh, I am about to complete one. So I am in luck then," she braced herself, then continued running. With her remaining stamina points, she would be able to cover the remaining distance.

In no time she reached the exact spot she had calculated, but she could not find any pool of water, not even a puddle.

 "This is where it was supposed to be. Did I calculate wrong?" She furrowed her brows.

 [Beep! Host has discovered the location of the pool.]

"Where is it then?" She squinted her eyes, whipping her head around to see any trace of it at all.

 "I can not find it Aegenesis, please show me where it--" she stepped on a rather unusual spot.

She furrowed her brows, looking down at where she had just stepped on.

 "Hold on.." she bent to her knees, her hand feeling this particular spot, "This place feels as though something was buried under underneath it."

 She began to dig as fast as she can, until she felt something hard beneath the sand.

 "I am almost there," her eyes brightned as she continued to dig until she had cleared the spot of all the sand to discover a set of rocks arranged in a rather scattered pattern.

 She blinked, her eyes streaming with disappointment, "This is the pool I ran 2.5 km for?"

 She whipped her head up, "What is this?"

 [Beep! Host is to arrange this stones in a circular pattern.]

She held her breath, sucking her lower lip in. Immediately, she began to arrange them in this circular pattern that was requested.

 "This better be something good," she muttered furiously.

By the time she was done, still nothing happened. The rocks were arranged, but nothing changed.

 She just fell back on her bottom, "I have given up, I do not think this world building is for me-- maybe I am not the right host," she huddled her knees close to herself, burying her face in between them.

 Gushhh.

The low, soothing gush of something caught her attention. She whipped her head up to see water slowly bubbling up from between the rocks.

 She could feel the joy bubbling up within her, "Water! Finally some water!" Her eyes brightned. She sprang to her feet, clapping excitedly, "Yes!"

[You just found a pool of water! LP +10 points, +5 SP +3PER, +1 INT, +3 STR]

"Heck yeah, I did!" She grinned from ear to ear.

She straightened her clothes, a plain sweater, and a pair of black joggers.

 "Now I do not have a cup, I will have to buy-- oh."

[Host would have to complete quests to be able to have those basic necessities in time to come.]

 She nodded, "Understood," she crouched on her knees, then began to scoop the water into her palms, then drink it from her palms.

 "Ahh," she let out a satisfied sigh when she was sure she was done, "Okay. My throat has been satisfied."

 Her eyes caught sight of something. It looked a lot like a small dagger, but it was blunter, lying at the base of the pool.

 "Interesting," she dipped her hand into the pool to retrieve it. When she brought it out, she observed it shiny ends, and neatly polished black handle.

 [Host has retrieved a level one weapon!]

She arched her brows, "Aha! This would be useful in fighting those level 1 zombies, correct?"

 [Correct!]

She held it up proudly, "Hm, this is not enough, but it should be helpful. From my observation with those two flesh walkers, they are quite weak. Though the shamblers would be problem."

 She sat beside the pool, down with silence for a moment.

"Now I have to build myself a shelter, that is if I want to survive this weather," she got to her feet.

 [Beep! Host should be prepared for a group of shamblers!]

Her heart skipped several beats, "I did not sign up for this!" She hit her head slightly with her palm, "Oh well, if I ever want to survive, I have to level up, and quick!"

 [Daily quest; Defeat the group of shamblers]

[Reward: double leveling up]

"Ah nice!"

[Host would have to make use of Intelligence]

Then the screen disappeared..

She just stared in space, "Maybe you should have just left me dead! I mean if you are supposed to guide me, guide me properly, I don't even have the--"

 Thier roars could be heard in a distance, coming in their numbers.

Her grip on the small knife tightened, "No need for complaining, if I am going to survive, I better stand my ground," she already sighted the group of little dead corpses half her side rushing towards her direction.

 She heaved, "I have got this, I can do this," she dug her feet into the ground, waiting for them to come meet her there.

 Something crashed into her from behind. She shrieked, rolling over in the sand. Raising her head just in time, she sighted it was a flesh walker.

Without wasting time, she punched it twice, causing it to disappear.

 Her heart raced, as she looked over her shoulders to sight the shamblers already near her.. in their numbers.

 "This doesn't look good all of a sudden," she swallowed.

A shambler leapt in the air, she tried to dodge it, but this time it actually collided with her. The shambler dug its claws into her skin ready to tear her about.

 Host would have to make use of Intelligence.

She winced as those words came to play in her head.

 "Oh well, watch me take over you stupid, dumb, dead ass!" She stuck the dagger right into its left eye.

 "None of you is taking me down just yet!"
