《The Random》


 Day 0: A Short Monday

    "Uuuuuuuuugh" Jaxson wailed as he slowly woke up.


    After falling off his bed Jax recollected the events from last night...


    "SHIT!", Jax wasn''t acustomed the new neighborhood and the new school at this point and his body recoiled at the idea that he would have to go to school another day. "SHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHIT!", running around gathering clothes, his mind jerked itself awake as thoughts of being late almost 3 days in a row raced around his panicked head.


    Constantly falling asleep at 2 A.M. did not help his late streak. Throwing on a shirt, some pants and a hoodie he checked the clock. "Only 10 minutes!?", it read 9:04. Running to the kitchen, he grabed milk and cereal and poured them into his mouth.The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.


    While running out the front door he grabed a note and read it while he ran.


    "I''ll be back at 8 don''t forget to pick up some more cookies at the store on your way back -Dad" Jaxson sighed as he shoved the crudely written letter into his back pocket.


    He arrived at school with 2 minutes left. Nothing really hapened at school other than "learning" and his freind Jake acting dumb. Leaving school on a more relaxed note, Jax headed to the edge of the neighborhood, in which some houses literally bordered on the sea.


    After picking up some cookies and a milk shake, Jax headed to the edge of the pier.


    After lea- "CHOMP", is the sound the shark made as it devoured Jax whole.


    One final "SHIT" was uttured from Jax''s mouth as he lay in the shark''s jaws.

 Day 1: A Longer Tuesday

    Jaxson continued kicking and screaming for a couple more seconds waiting for the shark to take its first bite.


    Slowly opening his eyes, to his surprise, and confusion, Jaxson was sitting in the middle of a reasonably large plain stretching for miles. "What is this place?". He checked himself and to his utter shock he was fine and in his normal clothes.


    After looking up he found a strange, blue, almost holographic looking message.


    <table>

    <tr>


    <td>

    </td>


    </tr>


    </tbody>


    </table>


    "Well that makes sense!" Jaxson said while freaking out, "Now what!?". He tried shooing away the blue screen but it just presented him with another one.

    A look of complete and utter confusion was present on Jaxsons face; "Whaaaa... ...t did I do to deserve this?! ". He shook his fist at the sky almost as if he knew god personally.

    "Oh boy." Jaxson cracked his knuckles sat there looking at the futility of his predicament.Jaxson never got very deep into any MMOs, only getting himself deep into some indies and shooters. "Well only one thing to do anyways." Jaxson chose "Random" and another blue screen popped up, one with a slot machine-like lever and screen. Jaxson pulled the lever and recieved a new notification:


    <table>


    <tbody>


    <tr>


    <td>You have unlocked a new skill: Bullet Generation (LVL 1)</td>


    </tr>


    </tbody>


    </table>


    "Holy shit!" Jaxson felt a small catalogue of bullets imbeded into his brain. The only options he currently had open were 9mm rounds and 7.62¡Á51mm rounds. He put his hand in the typical middle school hand gun position and shot a 9mm from the tip of his index finger into the ground.


    "Awesome!"

 Day 1.5: Rabbits & Bullets

    Jaxsson felt self-conscious as he realised he had been sitting on the ground the entire time. He must''ve looked like a lunatic, he thought.


    He tested out how fast he could shoot the 9mm and the 7.62¡Á51mm and found that he could shoot it about as fast as he assumed he could shoot a real gun with the rounds in. Strangely, he found that the signature booms associated with guns was missing.


    Sadly, he also found out that he couldn''t shoot both bullets at the same time.


    Jaxson kept on walking and checked the system again.

    Jaxson looked up from the screen and saw a huge rabbit hopping across the plain, above it "Rabbit <LVL 25> 150/150 HP" was displayed. After shooting it twice with the 9mm the horse-sized rabbit was not yet dead. With the rabbit jumping furiously at him, he started running away and shooting wildly at it.Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.


    -25 (75/150 HP)


    Jaxson changed his bullets to the 7.62¡Á51mm and continued shooting.


    -40 (35/150 HP)


    -60 (Headshot) (0/150 HP)


    Finally after about a minute of running, Jaxson was out of breath and the rabbit was dead.

    This was turning out to be much more fun than his own life. The sight of all the life points he was getting felt more rewarding than anything he had ever done in his original life.


    Jaxson checked the system and bought a bullet generation upgrade, which he would find out make his bullets faster. He made the decision to get another random skill and pulled the lever.

    "Ooh that could be useful, I should probably see if there is any civilization in this world." Jaxson chose a direction and walked straight, planning to kill more rabbits along the way.

 Day 2 & 3: A Bad Idea

    Jaxson woke up at around 9 am, his body exhausted after killing 6 more rabbits, in his strangely comfortable makeshift rabbit hide bed and decided to check his LP balance.

    Jaxson had gained 150 LP from the rabbit massacre.


    "I should probably some upgrade some of my already unlocked skills. Too bad I can''t unlock another random skill." Jaxson upgraded Bullet Generation to LVL 3 and Poison Magic to LVL 3, leaving him with no LP left over.


    Jaxson decided to test his new abilities on a nearby tree. First he tried his strongest and fastest bullet, cleanly shooting a hole straight through it. The LVL 3 poison magic was incredibly useful, it was similar to the bullet generation but instead of a catalogue, the power, spread speed, and the areas that it targeted could be adjusted.


    Trying the strongest and fastest poison he could create and focusing it on a branch, it started to wither and decay rapidly. Before standing up he had an epiphany. What if he could spread the poison on the bullet as a delivery mechanism? After a couple of tries he got it to work.


    After getting up from the tree trunk that he was sitting on, Jaxson decided to continue his search for civilization. He could see the edge of a forest a couple of miles away and decided to see if he could find any normal animals or any fruits.


    On the edge of the forest Jaxson found a strangely big and deep burrow and decided that he would see inside tomorrow since he was already exhausted.


    Day 3:


    Waking up, Jaxson was ready to head inside.This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

    Jaxson looked back as he slid in and a boulder covered the exit. The cave was in almost pure darkness. Jaxson backed up but couldn''t get out of the cave, out of the darkness six red glowing eyes opened and soon after a massive roar and a ear deafining screech followed. "Oh fuck that thing is big!" The chimera lifted its heads and breathed fire at Jaxson, who narrowly avoided it.


    In the fire''s light the three faces were fully visible; a goat head stemmed from the left side of the neck, a lion head from the right and a dragon-like serpent head that was spewing fire from the middle. Above the middle head a tiny screen read: "Chimera <LVL 100> 500/500 HP"


    The two snakes that stemmed from the beasts tailbone snapped at Jaxson. He kept on running around the beast and trying to shoot the legs off.


    -40 (460/500 HP)


    -35 (425/500 HP)


    -60 (Critical Hit) (365/500 HP)


    He tried to shoot a poison covered bullet and a notification popped up that read; "50% damage done with poison due to the Chimera''s skill Poison Resistance"


    -10 (355/500 HP)


    -10 (345/500 HP)


    -10 (335/500 HP)


    -45 (290/500 HP)


    Despite his best efforts, one snake caught his leg and the other wrapped him up lifting, him up to the three heads.

    The snakes flung him into the air and into the Serpent-dragon''s mouth.


    "AAAAAAAAH!" Screamed Jaxson as he slid down the esophagus into the Chimera''s stomach.


    A new screen popped up saying: "Status Effect: Acid Dissolvement applied." Jaxson felt a burning sensation wash over his body, his skin dissolving and burning off.


    "SHIT WHY WON''T YOU DIE ALREADY!" Jaxson screamed as he shot up the Chimera''s esophagus and around the insides.


    -70 (Headshot) (220/500 HP)


    -70 (Headshot) (150/500 HP)


    "AAAAAAAAAH!" An intense pain covered his body and acid disitegrated his flesh.

    The Chimera''s body tore open and out of the stomach fell a dirty, exhausted and unconscious Jaxson.
