The End
so , the story starts out like any other hero wakes up, trains for two weeks then kills the demon lord and all creation cheers..
i wish..
Just a ordinary day, in a ordinary life for a (soon to be old) 29 year (ain''t old before your 30) Young man. He sits in the dark only lights are coming from the laptop on his lap and television, neglecting to put the ceiling light on. He''s doing his favourite hobby, one he picked up years ago,almost feels like he''s been doing it his whole life..
reading made up stories he found on the internett, atm its stories about sculptors, demons and dungeons.
When he''s reading, he occasionally takes a sipp from a beer. he''s currently enjoying his 8 one..
He does know he drinks too much and too often, but ehh beer is God..
it''s getting dark outside so he look through the tiny slit in the curtain and tries to see if his sister who lives across the street with her two daughters is home. The lights on so he figure they are, he moves a little to the side to see the house behind and sees his uncle and grandma also are.
"anyhue back to drinkin" got nothing else to do.. "bah should i put on some music" he says aloud, no one answers.. he''s been living alone for the
past ten years, a house, not inherited but rented from his dad for a negligible fee, too cheap really but ehh its 2 story+attic built in the 70''s
its getting plenty weared down.mostly because the young man had been unemployed the last 5-and a half years....
Lightning flashed, he caught the flash through the slit in the curtain. "aww fuck well.. open all bookmarks and let the sites load then i''ll unplug the internet" he said while unplugging his laptop from his charger. once everything in hisbookmarka was opened, he sighed.. "guess i gotta unplug the rest of the electric stuff.." Lightning continued to flash through the slit in the curtains, further instigating him to get up, pulling the two
multi sockets out from the wall to disconnect the stereo and tv he sighed again, now the only light that came in was from theflashes outside.
"this is soo boring hope it doesn''t last".. he went to the fridge, his eyesight had always been good so there were no problems, especially
not in a place he knew by heart.. picked up a new beer and popped it open and gave a huge sigh.. "soo good, they should make this tap water.."
he looked towards his only source of light, his laptop operating on battery power.. looked towards the curtain and thought " bah still got the warrant
on the laptop, lets put on some music, fuck the lightning!". On his 9 beer, the clock ticking towards 23.00 (night). he plugged the sockets
back in. the stereo and tv turned on. used cast device to turn on his favourite mix playlist, and turned the volume up.
Lightning continued to flash.
Rapping along (or tried to) the clock went onwards. He kept drinking. music blasting, reading some novels online. then the clock turned
23.59 there was a huge flash, bigger than any of the before and the power went out.. only light left was from the laptop on his lap. and
soon it started blaring out. distorted sounds with too much discant and the ''ole whats my name.. the young man sighed and folded the laptop, Put it The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
on the footrest of the chair while he stood up. stretching a bit, he went over to the tv station to see if there were anything to salvage..
As he was pressing the On button (as if that were going to help) on the tv, suddenly a blue screen erupted in front of him
"hahahah it works!!"
he did a little wiggle dance
and noticed he wasn''t looking at the tv no more
a huge flash of lightning and a even bigger boom erupted in his living room.

Congratulations, your world is now merged with Altria!
as Altria has slightly different living differences and population every adult of the
earth has to pass a test. Good luck!

..... what...
blue screen faded and he started to regain his vision, right in front of him a blue foul creature was condensing from smoke to real. he started thinking
"i am drunk, but fuckit.." he ran towards the blue one meter creature and crashed into it. as they hit the floor, he realised "shit that hurt .
this ain''t no fucking dream "
the blue little creature with big egg shaped eyes fangs protruding upwards towards his nose from his lower lip growled, and pushed the man to
the side.
both man and creature flailed around knocking each other with their arms as they tried to stand up, taking distance to each other. neither one
taking their eyes of each other. the man walks slowly backwards. the blue creature growls and slowly takes a dagger that was fastened to its belt.
the dagger is curved and looks wicked with a green tint even seen in the low light. the man takes two steps backwards. the blue creature growls
again and crouches, as it is about to jump.. the man stumbles a bit, the blue creature jumps. The young man looks to his left and picks up his
folded laptop , and holds it up against the dagger. the dagger penetrates it, it stops, a half centimeter from the young man''s face.. noticing the weight,
he kicks up with his knee, fortunate enough to hit ¡°something. The blue one drops the grip on the dagger and falls to the floor.
the young man then starts to bash the blue little dwarf orc like creature with everything he can, after a while he stops. looking at the mess..as he looks at the creature a new blue screen impairs his vision.

the man still half drunk looks around the living room, his i.e , tv and stereo are fried from the lightning and his laptop is smashed to pieces from
beating the head of an unknown creature. As he looks at the broken laptop he notices the dagger still stuck in it. he gingerly picks the
laptop up, disgusted by all the blood and bits of brain tissue stuck to it.. he takes the dagger out and looks closely on it, a blue screen
pops up:
|
"dagger of poisoning"
deals 15-20 dmg and 8-36 poison damage over 8 seconds effects stack "
|
"FUCK ME, IF HE HAD HIT I WOULDA BEEN DEAD", he takes a couple seconds holding the dagger loosely in his hands.
.. as it hits him, his sister across the road.. he yells out "all attributes to speed"
as he starts running towards the front door.
Prologue: The End 2
The Young man (soon to be old) runs out the door, it''s still totally dark. He is about to start to run towards the stair that leads to the road. but
notices he doesn''t have any shoes on. He turns back and sits in the doorway while fumbling to get his old worn out mountain hike boots on, he
fumbles a bit with the laces and growls out loud, that''s when he notices that there are no sound around. no cars from the highway that separates
his house from his sister, no sound from birds or even that constant buzzing that''s always been in the electric circuit case.
He looks around, finally managing to get the laces done right. he starts walking towards the stairs, leading towards the roads.
Its total darkness around his house, neglecting to do any upkeep the last 5 years, all the outdoor lights. that were supposed to be on, had
gone out a long time ago. he looks to his right in the dark he can make out the contours of the broken and rotted down outdoor
summerhouse, he sweeps his eyes upwards, the house is located at the bottom of cliff. looking to his right to the cement path that leads to the
stairs down to the street, he starts running.
Halfway down the stairs he hear some growling. he stops and starts crouching and creeping closer to the wall. Hecan see two aproximately 1 meter 10 centimeters
beeings walking 20 meters ahead of him. enshrouded in darkness he cant see what they really look like.
they seem to be talking, but all the man hears are grumbling.
suddenly impacting his vision is a new blue screen, he quickly hiss "go away". the blue screen fades away, but something worse looks his way.
Holding his breath, he looks at the two creatures coming his way. all he can see is the 2 creatures coming his wat.
he grasps the dagger his laptop had earned him. waiting¡
as they come closer the more the man gets anxious. he has never killed anything, never hurt anyone, physically.. he''s a pacifist. at most..
he''s a coward, never been in a fight and certainly never killed anything..
The two shadows walks closer, the man remembers all the lessons from the internet novels he''s read. and it comes down to one thing:
kill or be killed, weakness is your death.
as they come closer he makes up his mind..
the first shadow takes a step on the stairs, the man lashes out all he can with dagger,catching him in the neck, as red numbers magically
starts rising over the little shadows head he continues the slash towards the second shadow. The second shadow blocks with his arm.
the dagger suddenly met resistance striking the arm and continues onward as he meets the arm bone of the creature.
never been in a fight or a life or death situation the man almost lets go of the dagger.
at the last second he manage to strengthen his grip
and drag the dagger out. taking a few steps back up the stairs he noticed the red numbers over their head.. the first shadow he striked
had dropped to the ground, the other looked at its arm then upwards towards the man, raising its arm. about to strike the man.the man panics and scrambles backwards, as the creature was about to strike a red number above its head apear, and instantly the creature crumbles to the floor.

noticing that both died after the number 15, he starts to run . through the driveway unto the Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.
main road, he looks right and left, down the main road,
he can''t see to far as the roads bend around 400 meters on both sides. noticing many
small "shadows",he takes a big breath. then he looks straight ahead at his sister''s house.
taking a second to collect himself he runs towards the fence, placing a hand
on top of the fence and starts to jump over. as its been more than a decade since he''s done that kinda maneuver he over balance and facepalms right onto the grass at the
other side. shaken , he stands up, shakes his head to get over his disorientation and with unsure steps he goes through the big garden, and goes to the front door. situated away from the main road, he opens the front door, which is never locked.
he hears screaming.
he runs up the stairs on the left from the open front door, towards the screaming and opens the door to his sister''s bedroom,
seeing a blue approx 1 meter 10 centimeter
creature with a club about to hit his sister, he takes wild swings towards it. Reverting to his pacifist "do not hurt other" side he just swings wildly. The blue creature turns around and the man gets a good look at it. he stops swinging and just stare.
it hasn''t really sunk in on him yet what he''s facing.
a small dwarf like creature , that holds a club, sinewy muscles and a small potbelly, the face of the creature got large egg shaped eyes and protruding fangs from its lower lip.
a crooked nose and multiple scars at it¡¯s cheeks.
the creature is a bit hunched over. resembling a monkey without fur. startled out of his stupor by the noise coming from his sister, the man
slashes towards the little blue thing.
instead of blocking with the club the little blue creature holds up his free hand.. the dagger barely nicks the creatures left hand.
over the little blue creature, a red number appears.. they look at eachother, for what the man feels is ages.. then a number appears,
another second another appears.
and the little blue creature crumples..

+killed a lvl 1 grumbling +5xp
|
not taking any chances the man stabs it in the head.
taking a few breaths.. he looks towards the bed and sees a horrifying scene.
his little sister had been hit with the club repeatedly
as her whole left leg beneath the knee is basicly just mush, blood was splattered around the room and he could see
bits of white and in the large mass of broken flesh that used to be the her leg.
the sister kept on screaming.
panicking the man doesn''t know what to do.
he tries get any real contact from her, but she keeps screaming. as he''s trying to avoid to look at the messy sight on the bed.
he looks around the room for anything that might be useful for first aid, he looks down and notices a red glint.
its hanging on the belt of the little blue shit (as the man had started to think of it) that tried to kill his sister.
he bends down, taking the red vial.
the blue shit suddenly starts to get sucked in, like imploding. the man takes a step back and crouches, closing his eyes, thinking it''s like a
corpse explosion or a trap of some kind, normal in the many stories he''s read online.
when a couple seconds goes by he opens his eyes. there''s golden particles floating before his eyes, the corpse of the blue creature had
disappeared. Startled to his senses he notices his sister wailing again..
he jumps on the bed and hold her head steady while forcing her to drink. effectively it stops the screaming . bUt his sister has problems breathing. not stopping he forces the drink down her throat, screaming for her to drink. when the whole vial of the red stuff is gone , he relaxes a bit . his sister has stopped screaming. Panicking he thinks her sisters dead, a second later she takes a big breath..relieved the man takes a big breath and releases it , noticing from the corner of his eyes golden particles, thinking it''s another creep spawning he readies his dagger and looks towards the
direction of the golden light.
he sees his sister leg.
it''s gone from mauled to perfectly healed.
laying next to her on the bed and hearing her exhausted breath he can''t not feel sorry for what he''s about to do..
He drags her out of bed, tells her to get dressed and leaves the room.
the man decides to see too his nieces he takes a big breath.
first opening the door to the youngest niece bedroom , a little 2 year old girl, snoring like a grown man.. he exhales then he closes the
door gently.
the third room on the top floor of his sister house contains the bedroom of his second niece, a 8 year old girl . he opens her door and
looks into her room and sees she''s wide awake. scared hiding under her sheets and pillows.
taking a big breath(once again). then one more. worrying what to say when the little one peeps "is mommy good" and the man answers "yeah, but she might need your help
as a matter of fact i need your help.
"with what?"
the man lets out a sigh walks into the little girls bedroom and sits down on her bed. sighing he says "go to your little sister''s bedroom and
stay there for the night please" waiting a couple seconds the girl doesn''t move, growling he says
"go now before i get angry" he says in a grumbling voice.
The girl lets out a nervous chuckle, used to her uncle''s growling and grumbling. she holds her hand out meaning for the man to take it.
he grumbles again and says "you''re old enough to walk on your own, now get up." he lifts the girl of the bed and gently push her towards the
door to get her to walk. The girl is still scared and looks back at her uncle, seeing him pick up her blankets and some of her favourite
plush animals... at the other room the 2 year old is still snoring, motioning for the older sister to get in the bed,
he dumps all the stuff on her head and tells her to try to sleep some more.
he goes out of the room releasing a quiet sigh, he closes the door behind him.
Prologue: The end 3
the sister finally joins the man in the hallway, with all the doors closed. it''s only one way down.
the man says to his sister, lock the door after me i''m just gonna go check on grandma and uncle''s family.
the sister tries to say no, the man just looks at her.. finally she gives in, and follows the man down to the
stairs that leaves to the frontdoor. he says be quiet and dont open the door for anyone but me. she nods.
outside in the dark again. the man starts to shake.
he can''t control it. he is scared and starts panicking. he had a plan, save his closest. but he can''t move.
he continues to shake. panicking. tears trailing down his face. he places his back towards the wall and slides down, pulling
his knees towards his head.. he sits there for what seems like an eternity. crying, snot freely falling.
he looks up and thinks "fucking unfair".. well i''ll make i fair.. ¡°
he stands up and and starts walking towards his grandma house. it''s all black around him, no sound. thankfully from his sister''s house
to his grandma frontdoor it''s only 50 meter straight line. the dark doesn''t bother the man as he creeps closer. he checks the front door
locked.
he contemplates using the back door, but decides not to. as the front door is a old wooden door with brown glass windows, one kick,
and it would either open or the glass would break.
he takes a step back and brace himself, then he takes a big kick towards the door, aiming for where the lock is. THe door pops open.
he shakes his head, "well that was easy, uh the door was like 50 yr old and brittle". he walks into the hallway, trying to pick up any sounds.
he stops by the stairwell leaving to the upper floor, and tries to listen for any sounds..
a couple seconds go by..
suddenly
an alarm starts screaming it''s the loudest noise he''s heard since the power went out at his house.
he runs up the stairs. takes a left, down the hallway, the alarm keeps going. he opens the door to his grandma''s bedroom and
he can''t see anything it''s just black the alarm keeps screaming, he can''t hear anything he takes a better hold at the dagger
and takes a single step into the room.
something jumps at the man, he falls backwards when they fall he swipes the creature with the dagger. he see''s a red number again.

you have killed a grumbling +5 xp Stolen story; please report.
|
knowing he have to keep the creature away he bucks and spasm all he can. for the man it feels like forever. but in reality it had only been 20 sec.
and the creature had been dead 18 of those 20 sec.
getting to his feet, he looks into his grandma''s bedroom, the alarm is still blaring. he walks into the room. his eyes adjusting. then he
quietly leaves the room. closing the door behind him. the alarm is still going as the man pukes in the hallway.
it was a hideous site. it takes the man a lot of effort to get out of the house. the alarm keeps going.
outside he takes many mouthfuls of air, and pukes again.. he sits down on a little brick wall thinking..
10 minutes goes by, the alarm is still going. he doesn''t move. for once the luck was with him as he was sitting in the shade of a tree. as the man comes to
he notices 5 shadows standing right in front of him, seemingly checking out the loud house. getting angry the man strengthens his hold on the dagger. he
tenses and jumps right in between the five shadows swinging the dagger around making sure to hit each of them ,. then he he starts running out of the group waiting
for the dot to take hold..

in the dark he can only make out their shadows crumpled to the ground as he starts walking across the grass towards his uncle house.
In the dark, he went over the yard, stepping softly on the wet grass, trying to hear or see any movement of the little blue shits as he had named them in his mind.
the wind was fortunately slowing down, the rain was at a low, light drizzle. numerous flashes from lightning periodically lighted the view, but weirdly enough no sound was transmitting from them. only sounds coming, where from the still ongoing alarm system from his grandma''s house. slowly being left behind.
As he went closer to his uncle''s front door, the more he strained his ears, holding his breath, ignoring his thumping chest. Trying to pick up any sounds. Suddenly a loud bang could be heard.
As the noise scared the man he gave out a high pitch scream and frantically looked around him. after a few nervous seconds. he finally made out where the noise came from.
Inside his uncle''s house!
He quickly sped towards the front door. He found it locked. cursing the fact that everyone else usually locked their front door. he took a step back and once again tried to kick a door open. as he hit it, he went tumbling backwards from the recoil. this was a heavy oak door, painted white and he knew there was at least one normal lock and one deadbolt on the inside. cursing he sat up, intending to go around to the back to the terrace where the entrance is a glass door. he heard a voice from above.
¡°who is it¡± a high pitched woman''s voice called out. he looked up and saw his aunt leaning out their kitchens window. ¡°it''s me, are you guys alright?¡± the man said. he saw the woman
his uncle had married 10 years prior thinking hard. suddenly her whole face lit up in recognition before she called down. ¡°two sec gonna, gonna come down and open the door for you¡± closing the window, blocking all sounds from the house, he anxiously looked around, while he was waiting. finally after what felt like an eternity he heard fumbling noises from the lock of the front door.
hurriedly he stepped into the hallway, a long narrow one. littered with shoes and discarded jackets on the floor. His aunt gave him a hug before motioning to follow him upstairs to their huge living room. as he entered the living room he saw his uncle and his three kids, two boys and one girl. the girl being the oldest at 16. His uncle was cradling his left arm with his right. as h looked around the room the man swiftly went to the terrace door and looked out.
he noticed a soft golden light coming from behind a line of tree¡¯s in the direction of the local high school. he didn''t take much notice of it as he closed the curtains to prevent anyone or anything from looking in. As he turned around to look more around he noticed the lights was on. swiftly he went to the switch and turned it of. In the sudden dark he couldn''t make out more than two feet ahead of him. sitting down at the spot he asked ¡° soo.. u guys had a meeting with the blue shits too?¡±
After a quick explanation of the uncle''s story where the main point was that it suddenly flashed into existence right in front of them and then proceeded to attack them. The mans uncle got a deep lash on his left forearm but between him and the aunt they managed to kill it. the loud banc he had heard was from his aunt crashing into the kitchen table when she tried to find a towel for the uncle¡¯s arm. the man then proceeded to retell his night.
after a discussion the man finally managed to convince the uncle and his family to go to the man''s, sister house. the main selling point being that her house only had a front door on ground level, being easier to guard and also had multiple escape routes despite of that.
after some preparations, they loaded up some beddings and blow up mattresses. They then went quietly down the road. arriving at the house without any problems.
As everyone settled in the man sat down on the couch. exhaustion, excessive physical movements and the aftermath of going from drunk to sober swiftly taking him into oblivion.
Prologue: The End 4
Startled by sounds of movement around him he awoke, he never was a light sleeper. usually awoke the moment when someone opened his front door, despite his bedroom being in the basement farthest away from said door. He looked around the room noticing he was in his sister''s living room. and the cause of his abrupt awakening was his uncle sitting down on the couch next to him. groaning the man sat himself up leaning forward, with his elbows on his knees. holding his head in his hands. a light headache making him groan lightly.
shaking he looked up seeing his uncle fumbling with the tv remote.
The man motions for the remotes and first turns on the tv with one before he turns on the channel with the other. browsing through until he finds the only native all-day news channel.
a woman appears on the screen got dark circles under her eyes, looking like a panda. obviously been crying. with shoulder length hair,a slender upper frame and a face that normally would please anyone that''s looking,a beauty that is classified as mature.
As the woman tries to talk she keeps up ending sobbing and taking big breaths of air, in the upper left corner of the screen there is a green bold ¡°Live¡± written
The man takes a couple second to collect his thoughts before he''s able to make out what the woman is saying..
¡°¡ approximately over 20 countries are involved and more ¡°hick¡± and more, are effected every hour. as said before the black clouds and lightning phenomenon is traveling east, ¡°sob¡±
it''s currently above the western part of china¡±
the man looks at the clock displayed on the screen it''s currently 0613. it''s only been 6 hours since it all started..
¡°we do not know why this is happening but we do know that the skies emits lightning that affects the landmass, new mountains are created and ¡°sob¡± seas are created. due to the abruptness anyone ¡°sob¡± living near the ocean is advised to seek higher grounds. no matter where u live in the ¡°sobs¡± world. in fear of tsunamis and other weather phenomena. ¡°
¡°the clouds that is supposedly causing this is black, emits lightning but no sounds of thunder, it appears that each flash is causing some kind of monster to appear or change of the world landscape. the monster¡¯s that''s appeared so far, has been materialised¡ ¡°sobs¡± into people houses and are seen as extremely aggressive more are found roaming outside the homes.
we advise people to stay ¡°hick¡± indoors.
¡° we have yet to get a statement from the military but according to local sources regular arms as in guns and rifles have little to no effect on the creatures. what does seem to work ¡°pales and starts sobbing¡±..
The man looks around it''s getting lighter outside. Looking down he¡¯s still wearing a simple white round necked t-shirt and sweatpants. on his feets he got his old trusted mountain shoes on. no socks tough..
The lady on the tv continues: choking them or taking their weapons and use them against the creatures seem to be the most effective way. or blunt weapons. As (sob) i mentioned before the clouds are over western china and seems to be going in a constant speed.
its estimated that the clouds will cover the entire earth within 17 hours.¡±
that would be approximately one day after the clouds started the man thought to himself.
¡°as for the many reports of bluescreens reported after successfully killing a monster none has been confirmed as supposedly the owner is the only one to see them. as far as we know. it covers name and numerical status of your individual strengths. but nothing more is confirmed at the moment. ¡°Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Standing up the man went to one of the window that is leading to his house. looking around he can see no movements, but the black clouds are still there with flashes going to the ground. He says aloud ¡° think i''m gonna head right across the street. get some more clothes on me.¡± his uncle answers ¡°you sure. the tv said to stay indoors¡±
¡°nah nothing moving outside and i need a sweater and a jacket to. nothing my sis got fits me. and you barely brought enough for yourself.. ¡°
¡°hmm okay but i''ll lock the door after you and knock when you get back, oh and don''t forget your dagger¡± motioning to where the man had slept.
¡°you held that thing so hard when you were sleeping so it seemed important¡±.
picking up the dagger from the couch. checking his shoe laces to be sure they were still on securely the man went to front door.
As he went outside, hearing his uncle locking the door behind him he noticed it was considerable lighter outside. everything was painted in a light grey light. similar to right before the sun comes up. everything seemed so new. he could smell the air taking on the freshness as in after a heavy rain shower. he saw everything in detail. the dew on the grass the tree he had leaned onto and the 5 corpses of the blue grumblings lying in front of his grandma''s house. he could hear the alarm still going.
looking around he started walking down the path that lead to the main road. walking in total silence. no sounds except the alarm growing more distant for every step. at the main road he peeked left and right, to the left there where nothing as far as he could see the road. to the right was the same. as he started to walk out onto the road he got more and more nervous.
It was about 30 meter in open view to walk to get to the pathway to his house. he didn''t take the ¡°shortcut¡± this time because he simply walked on habit. when he was 10 meters away from the pathway he heard screaming behind him. startled he looked back, and wished he hadn''t.
A large group of the little blue shits were running towards him.
Frozen in place, not knowing what to do he stopped moving. if he went to his own house they would just break through the door or windows and overwhelm him with their numbers. same if he went back to his sister''s house only that would lead to more potential victims despite being only one entrance.
¡°gotta get them away from here at least he thought¡±
He stood there. contemplating where to run for a few seconds. arrows started dropping from the sky and skidded towards him on the black asphalt. The man started running, he followed the main road then he took a left on the road that went slightly upwards. once he got on the road he looked straight ahead it was a large building only 3 stories tall,the front consisted mostly of cement and large glass windows. the building was built with two of the stories next to a small hill with the 3 story poking up above the small hill it was nestled next too.
as the man was running he chosed the road that was leading upwards and left of the building. knowing he could climb up the gutters from the roof. as he had done many times in the youth. as he was coming to the top of the little hill nearing the gutters. he looked back they had gained on him, the distance were barely a hundred meters. he swiftly went to the closest gutter and started climbing up. he could hear arrows bluntly hitting the cement around him and occasionally a glass window breaking. as he dragged himself over the ledge unto the roof, he crawled a bit more up so they couldn''t see him from the ground.
as he lays there he notices he isn''t really tired. ¡°must be from the levels, i guess. think i gotta take a look at it sometime¡±, the man. turns around to face the gutter he just went up. waiting for the little shits. they have to come up one at a time he figures and the next gutter is 50 meters away and around a corner so the little ones cant see it. The man doesnt have to wait long until a small blue hand reaches above the edge of the roof. he quickly slashes the little hand, the owner of the hand quickly withdraws it. he can see numbers popping up above the edge. then a little crash.
|
+Killed lvl 3 grumbling + 15 xp
|
it continued a few more times. they tried to climb up, he would slash or at one time kick them back down . he killed 8 of them before they stopped coming..
an hour went by, where all his focus were on the spot they could climb up. as no one had tried to come up for 15 minutes he started getting anxious. he slowly went to the edge and peeked over. he saw them preparing a camp. most likely to starve him out. as they noticed him , 15 of the little blue shits aimed their bows at him. he quickly ducked down. hearing the impact they made on the cement wall made him shiver. he looked across the big roof. trying to figure out a way to get away. as it was the first time he had a chance to look around he noticed a golden light coming out of a acorn sized white marble ball, floating half a meter above the roof 20 meter to the left. he crept closer, the light didn''t seem malicious.
as he went closer he noticed a big hole in the roof behind the marble. ignoring the hole he walked closer. standing in the golden light he grabbed the marble with his right hand.

Beastmaster:
Very little is known about this class. The few mentioned in Altrian history has been shrouded in history. some say they are selfish egotistical men. while others could swear upon their life that a Beast Master always does the right thing. apparently they love their beast and can never leave them. A Beastmaster is a rare class, rated above Beast tamer.

Prologue: The End 5

Do you wish to change Class to Beastmaster?
|
So the man stuck upon a high school''s roof, besieged by little blue grublings had a choice to make. ¡°Not really a choice¡± he said out loud. ¡°The little blue shits could come scampering up that water drain pipe any moment. or find any of the others to climb up¡±. good thing they aint that intelligent.
he tried to press yes with his hand, it went straight through the blue screen. and nothing happend. ¡°How am i supposed to press yes¡± he focused his eyes and concentrate on the Yes box. With a loud ¡°Ding¡± the boxes disappeared. the sudden noise made the man jump, looking every where for the origin of the sound. He couldn''t see anything or anyone on the roof. The man looked down at his hand and noticed the light from the marble had gone out when he wasn''t paying attention to it. He brought the marble up to his eyes to examine it more closely, it was around 2 cm in diameter. clear glass , he stared intently at it. Suddenly a huge flash erupted from it. The flash blinded the man and due to the suddenness of it he fell backwards and landed on his butt. dropping the marble in the process.
The man sat on the roof top, Rubbing his eyes to get his vision back, when his vision started coming back he noticed a new blue screen in front of him
|
Congratulations! You have successfully gained the class BeastMaster!
for more information on the class see skill screen.

The man gave himself a huge face palm! he hadn''t checked his status once since this whole mess started. he coulda, no, shoulda done it when he woke up. in safety. now he was stuck on a roof.. ¡°well shit happens.. and i was drinking yesterday soo forgot.. ¡°i blame the hangover.¡±
¡°hmm let''s take a look over the edge again then do a quick check¡±.
The man went closer to edge and looked over, he did a quick count of the little blue shits.
he counted 18 of them. some were scuffling about the parking lot. some were collecting wood for a fire from a patch of oak trees that stood like a island in the parking lot.
one of the blue shits noticed him and soon arrows were once again crashing against the cement wall.
hmm got a couple minutes at least. they are really settling in.
so how do i do this the man thought..
¡°status¡± the man said out loud.
nothing happened.
hmm maybe i gotta focus like that class change.
concentrating his mind on the word ¡°status¡±..
nothing happened.
¡°WTF how am i supposed to do this!?¡± suddenly the man started to chuckle.. i am a fool.. he tough.. status.. is just a word to describe how something is doing..
Focusing his mind once more.
¡°character screen¡± hmm. nope, maybe..
he focused on his name
Oscar Galen
and a blue screen popped up.

wow thats a lot of info. i should probably see what the different attributes are. kinda weird with how each attribute got 2 for each number. he focused his mind on the words strength/stamina
|
Strength: how much force that can be exerted when using your body.
|
|
Stamina: The ability to exert itself and remain active for a long period of time, as well as its ability to resist, withstand, recover from and have resistance to trauma, wounds or fatigue
|
well that makes sense. can¡¯t use strength without stamina. next on the list was agility/dexterity. it''s probably the same thing with those two..
|
Agility: The ability to change direction of the body in an efficient and effective manner.
|
|
Dexterity: the ability to perform a difficult action quickly and skilfully with the hands, and the ability to think quickly and effectively
|
well intelligence and wisdom. i probably don''t even need to look at it.
|
Intelligence: the ability to perceive information, and to retain it as knowledge
|
|
Wisdom: the ability to think and act using knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense, and insight
|
|
Accuracy: eye to hand coordination, how well your hands and eyes work together.
|
|
Precision: the ability to judge distance and force needed to reach that distance
|
|
Luck:unpredictable and uncontrollable force that shapes events favourably or unfavourably, higher luck is more likely to be favourably events.
|
|
Chance: The probabilityof something happening.
|
well those explanations were pretty self explanatory he thought to himself. but what''s with all the levels around that board?
|
Combat level: the total experience of a individuals fights, for each level 3 attribute points will be gained.
|
|
Attribute level: the total level of an attribute, 5 each level. base stats can not exceed combat level,(+Numbers) are stats gained through titles and equipments t.lvl stands for total level and are the total of all stats gained: base stats, titles and equipment.
when using any form of scrying/spying/identification skill/spell on monsters or people levels will be shown instead of the exact numbers.
|
soo, if i do a identification and they got lvl 5 strength that would be around 35 to 39 in numerical value? probably ..
next:
|
Health Points: the suggestion of how much damage a person can take.
Health Regen: how much Health being regenerated each minute
1/100 of strength/Stamina. under optimum conditions
|
|
Endurance: the suggestional number of how long you can stay active.
end regen: how much endurance being regenerated each minute
1/10 of strength/stamina and agility/dexterity. under optimum conditions
|
|
Mana points: the suggestion of how much mana points a person have.
Mana Regen: How much mana points being regenerated each minute.
1/50 of intelligence/wisdom.under optimum conditions
|
|
regeneration is suggestive and depends on injury, food, water, rest, environment. etc.
|
so regeneration is pretty useless in a combat or stressful situation?
guess i gotta find out the hard way. maybe poke myself with a knife or something Oscar thought to himself.
Titles pretty self explainable. let''s see the fun stuff. Skills! But first;
poking his head over the edge to see what the blueshits where doing.
after a few seconds he ducked down. arrows slamming once again into the edge.
oscars face paled, they weren''t collecting firewood as he thought they were. they were building ladders!
Prologue: The End 6
Oscar popped his head over the edge again. Besieged on a high school roof by creatures barely one meter tall, dark bluish skin colour and protruding jaws with sharp teeths that seemed too big for such a small creature. the system had named them as Grumblings but Oscar just referred to them as little blueshits. Ducking down as arrows slammed into the roof edge, he could hear the thumps as the arrows slammed into the cement a few of the arrows whistling a meter above his head.
The blueshits had started making ladders. they were half done with a primitive ladder made with 2 long oak trees with branches tied together between with strips of hide, for the steps. and there were four other oak trees laid out at the parking lot so they would probably build 3 ladders.. figuring he had at least half an hour before they would come storming up the roof he decided to check his skills.
focusing on his name to get the blue status screen to pop up.

|
|
wow! a aoe stun! with potential to grow! sooo op! but the cd seems a bit long. but in the right situation it could be a lifesaver! but how do i activate it? hmm lets see the other skills first.
|
|
Class Skill: 3
|
|

|
|

|
|
Companion heal:

skill progress: 1 - Lvl 1 (active) 5 minute cooldown
|
uh only 3 class skills. and the shared life skill seems pretty useless at the moment. if i chose one of those little blueshits down there. and it gets killed i¡¯ll die too? Boost pretty good support skill but the heal seems more harmful than helpful and i can''t even use it at the moment.
Focusing on the active part of the boost skill a new screen popped up
|
Skills with the tag (active) can be activated by focusing on the skill name.
|
uh that was easy. swiping away the bluescreens he focused on the skill boost. a gentle red light washed over him . uh i dont feel any different lets check the screen again:

well pretty good results. ohh i also got 15 available attributes. hmm let''s see
Oscar sat there thinking. hmm i guess i''ll go balanced. This is real life i can''t go all agility based, one random hit and i¡¯d be dead. if i go all strength some little fast dude would probably just kite me to death. i don''t know any spells atm so i can probably ignore that but.. using my brain would make fights easier. accuracy and precision; same i really would like to hit what i am aiming for.. Luck/chance it is pretty low. but ehh doubt it would help me any now. jup let''s go with that

After he placed all his points he sighed. and took a peek over the edge of the roof again. They were almost done with the first ladder. He looked across the roof, sunlight had started pouring over the roof. he had been stuck on the roof for nearly two hours and the wind were picking up. oddly enough, he wasn''t that cold. still dressed in a pair of old black sweatpants a white t- shirt and some old hiking boots, he shoulda been freezing by now. it was fall and the temperature was creeping lower every day. it couldn''t been more than 12 celcius outside. Probably because of adrenalin and maybe those stats helps? sigh but i digress. looking at the big hole in the middle of the roof around 30 meter in diameter.
Maybe i can climb down there and get out through the front door? he thought or i should at least check to see if it is at least feasible to climb down one of the water drain pipes on the other side of the roof even though its 50 meter down there.
¡°plan set go¡± Oscar said aloud.
crawling away from the edge of the roof towards the big hole first. he didn''t dare stand up in case one of the little blueshits got a lucky shot in, with a bow. As he was crawling closer he heard a ¡°thud¡± sound behind him, looking back he saw two poles jutting right above the edge of the roof. fuck now i gotta go down the hole if i start climbing the water pipe they can just snipe me from above. or throw anything.. and i¡¯d just fall to my death. going from crawling to sprinting in a heartbeat. he arrived at the edge of the roof. looking down to see if there were anywhere he could jump down to or maybe swing himself down from or climb. as he was thinking that suddenly the roof collapsed under him and he fell.
¡°down into the rabbit hole..¡± then all went black.
