《Game of Reality》 Prologue: Survival of the fittest. or beautiful.. As the winds blow softly through the leaves of a tree, a young man ,about the age of 20, prepares himself. Taking a deep breath, he jumps down and stabs a wild boar through the thick skull. As he pulls out his black knife, blue liquid squirts out of the boar, where a hole visible. After its last cry, death takes it and a small blob of green light hovers above it. With a thought, the young man absorbs the last into his chest. After absorbing it, his body flashes a yellow golden color around him. ¡°Level 4 hmm. Still not strong enough..¡± Looking at the dead body of the boar, he then ties up the boar to bring it back to his campsite. ¡°Sis is gonna be happy with this boar meat. Its getting late. Id better hurry before They come out. He then speeds through the forest even with the weight of the boar. Arriving at the camp site with the boar slung over his shoulder, a girl looking in her mid teens excitedly stands up. ¡°Bro! You hunting a boar!? Don¡¯t you know how dangerous that is?¡± ¡°Eh?! I thought you¡¯d be happy?¡± ¡°Happy that you¡¯re risking your life out there? Next time on coming with you¡± With a sigh, he reluctantly agrees. ¡°Can¡¯t go against you sis. You win¡± With them both in agreement, they start prepping the meat until they hear a scream in the distance. Looking at each other then quickly nodding, they got their gear on to head towards the screaming. Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon. Arriving at a clearing of the forest,, a nauseating smell of blood permeates the air, giving they both a frown. The right side of the clearing they see a terrified girl with a dropped knife beside her, stunned with tears streaming down her face. She looked in the same age group with long straight hair. Looking at her facial features, one can tell that she is of asian decent, and that she had a killer face that could turn a eunuchs back into man. With a glance downward he can see a 10/10 body to accompany her gorgeous face. With a shake of his head, he looks towards the left side of the clearing to see something that just made his face pale. It was a manticore feasting on the body of a middle aged man. The creature has a body of a lion, a face of a man, and a tail as a snake with wings upon its back. Without delay the young man runs towards the petrified girl, picked her up on her shoulder and ran. ¡°Run sis! We cannot take this things yet¡±. As soon as he said run, the sister ran along with her brother as fast as they could. After exhaustion, they sat down against a tree, still hearing the terrifying screeches of the manticore. Chapter 1: The Red Flare ¡°Insaisana! Get up bro!¡± Is what I hear first thing in the morning. Well, that¡¯s if you consider 1:42 morning. As a person with no job and not going to school, I have a lot of freetime to sleep in. ¡°Whaat?¡± I answer groggily ¡°Let¡¯s go smoke¡± ¡°Aight be down in a few¡± This was a routine for me. Brother comes home after high school is over for him, wakes me up to go smoke, then anything from there. Being a medical marijuana patient, I smoke almost everyday. It doesn¡¯t help that my brother is also one of the biggest deals for weed around the area, selling them from dimes to ounces. So almost everyday we have people over to smoke, hangout, or buy weed. After I get out of bed, I look in the mirror next to my door to look at myself. Black oily hair, dark eyes that see all, glasses to cover them, and a mouth with a smile that disguises the ever seeing eyes. Standing at about 6¡¯2, I was a very tall Asian. Taller than my older brother and my father. I don¡¯t know where my height comes from, but being tall comes with many advantages that my forefathers just didn¡¯t have. After throwing on shorts and a t-shirt, I proceed to go downstairs and into the backyard where my brother awaits. As I get my bong out and ready, I notice the sky darken. Being in Oregon, I just thought of it as a simple change of weather, as the weather changes in a moments notice. My thoughts were quickly changed into confusion as I look up to see no clouds. The sun was missing as well for a few seconds. In those few seconds, the world was dark. Then out of nowhere, the sun appears and flashes red then back to its normal color. I then notice a red flare from the sun coming towards our planet. In moments, the red flash passed by me and my brother. I quickly check myself for injuries and notice nothing different. Soon after, I notice a gathering of yellow light particles 5 feet from me. As it conjured, I gripped my bong. My bong was a 16¡± tall, thick ass glass. Soon in the particles of light, a nasty looking green creature appeared before me. It looked like a midget that got plastic surgery to make himself more hideous. Right away, because of my gamer knowledge, I knew it was a goblin, so I swung my bong down hard down towards its head. After knocking it towards the ground, I heard a low growl and I knew my job was not done. I bashed its head in multiple times before it stopped moving and a yellow glob of light floats above it. Grabbing at it, assuming it was what it was: Exp. Right after I grab it, a popup came up
Level Up!
And soon a few other popups came as well

Looking over at my brother, he just stares at me with his mouth open. About 5¡¯10 skinny as fuck, with a nicely shaped head, my brother was above average in looks. I say to him ¡°Dim. I think I have an idea of what¡¯s going on¡± ¡°What the fuck?! What the fuck was that thing? Where did it come from? Why did you kill it¡± ¡°Shut the fuck up for a bit will you. I think we¡¯re in a game¡± ¡°The fuck? What do you mean?¡± ¡°Just open up your interface with your mind. Its like a video game¡± Right after I told him so, he then has shocked eyes. I''m guessing he opened it and was surprised. I too opened my status up.

¡°This is fucked bro¡± says Dim ¡°I know. We need to find weapons immediately. It¡¯s a good thing i keep a katana huh bro. Told you some fucking apocalypse was gonna happen. Not exactly zombies, but i¡¯ll manage¡± I then ran back up into my room and grabbed my katana off the wall. Unsheathing it, revealing a blade sharp as a razor and a smile across my face. Right after my savage grin, I heard a loud ¡°Fuck!¡±. Knowing that it''s my brother downstairs, I rush out of my room and notice as I look over the railing that a goblin was at the front door. Jumping off the railing, I swung my sword overhead and straight down the shoulder and through half its body. Without waiting to make sure it''s dead, I ran into the kitchen where I see my brother with a kitchen knife and a long gash over his chest and left arm. I look to see what he was fighting and it looked like a werewolf standing on its two hind feet. Without any delay, while my brother was distracting him, I ran and cut the back of the werewolfs feet, severing the hamstrings and forcing it on the floor. I then proceeded to behead it. Unfortunately, its fur was too thick and I failed to cut through. The werewolf then swing backwards. Seeing it coming too fast to dodge, I tried to parry it with my katana. Luckily my blade met in between the werewolfs fingers severing half its hand off. While it was howling in pain, my brother then jumps and stabs down with both hands onto the wolf¡¯s head. Barely breaking through the skull and impaling the brain, the wolf¡¯s life fades away. A yellow green light then comes towards my chest and next thing I know, I leveled up. Ignoring the popup, I go to see my brothers condition. He was bleeding profusely across his chest and arm. His guts and organs were spilling out as he leaned against the dishwasher. ¡°Bro, I know i¡¯m going to die. Too much blood loss. Too little organs in me. Heh. Just leave me and go find the ones you love and need to protect.¡± ¡°Bro¡­ sorry i couldn¡¯t come fast enough..¡± ¡°Naw *coughs up blood* this was my fault for being stupid and trying to take on a werewolf with 2 kitchen knives¡± I look at his right hand to see a blooded knife, then looked at the werewolf to see another knife stuck in its side. ¡°Heh you showed him bro¡± I give him a small grin before he exhales his last breath. Standing up, I looked down at my brother with tears appearing before my eyes. I then punched thru one of the cupboards with anger in my eyes. ¡°Protect¡­ protect the ones I love¡­I¡¯ll do it for you bro¡± I gave my dead brother one last look before I left. Instead of looking at him with all knowing eyes, my eyes had darkened a bit, giving off a dead feeling. ¡°Time to go get sis¡± I said to myself as I startup my car. Chapter 2: Worldwide Massacre After getting into my 09¡¯ Nissan Altima, i pulled out hearing screaming all around. With no time to save others but those I care for, I zipped out of the neighborhood. What awaited me on the main road was chaos. There were crashed cars everywhere. I had to cross into the other side to goto the left to get to my sister''s house. My sister is not a biological sister, but she''s the closest thing that I had to one, growing up with 3 brothers. We met as freshmen in highschool and we just ended up being siblings. When I thought it was a good time, I gassed my car across lanes, dodging incoming frantic cars, and monsters alike. I could see people being eaten and savagely killed. I could see another goblin blocking the road, so I pressed the pedal to the floor and downshifted. The goblin, not knowing what was about to happen, got hit while I was speeding 70 in a 40. Blue blood splattered all over my windshield, so I turned on my windshield wipers and sprayed fluid. I actually didn¡¯t notice before, but the blood of the first goblin and the werewolf that I killed earlier had blue blood as well. With no time to think about it, I speed down the road. Luckily, my sister''s house was not far from mine; only about 2 or 3 miles away, so I got there in minutes. Arriving at the front of her house, I see a group of imps loitering in front of her garage. These demonic looking creatures looked like a red, shorter version of a goblin. Standing at about 3 ft tall, they had small red horns poking out of their foreheads. They had no shirts on, with only a loincloth to cover their genitals, if they had any. I jumped out of my car, sword in hand and rushed towards the imps. Unfortunately, they noticed me as soon as I pulled up. As I was rushing up, I noticed some fire gathering in one of the imps hands, while the others held small daggers. ¡°Shit! A fucking fireball¡± I said as I tumble left. Before it could shoot out another one, I took out my pocket knife that I always have on me, flicked it out and threw it at the mage imp. Luckily, it was too busy concentrating to notice a knife flying towards its face. The knife lands and lodges itself into the imps right eye, blinded it, making it howl out in pain. The dagger imps surrounded the mage, protecting it from further harm. I confronted the group with sword in hand, and with a swing, I easily decapitated ? imps. Noticing how easy they were to cut, I sliced through them all to death. Some tried to parry, but their weapons were inferior to mine, causing their flimsy daggers to break or be deflected away. After dealing with the imps, I proceeded to the wide open front door quickly before any other monsters noticed me. Once inside, I noticed 2 dead bodies. It''s the parents of my sister. With a short regret, I ran upstairs to look for her. I found her in her room, tears streaming down her face. She was sitting on her bed, in a fetal position. I notice her sister on the floor, face down, with a pool of blood flowing under her. In another corner, I see a dead zombie with a knife stuck in its head. I look at my sister, britney. She was a few months older than I, but I was always the big bro. About 5¡±2, she was of average asian height. I went over to her to hug her. I say to her, ¡°sis, we have to leave now. They''re all going to turn into zombies soon. With a slight nod, and wiping her tears, she got up to follow me downstairs. When I got downstairs with her behind me, I see a pack of oversized wolves eating the imps I killed. They looked like normal wolves, except they stood at 5 ft tall on all fours, with muscles protruding everywhere. Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.¡°Shit. Fucking dire wolves? They''re suppose to be extinct.¡± ¡°What do we do bro *sniffle*¡± ¡°Were going to have to yard hop. I can''t that those things yet. Let''s grab some kitchen knives. I lost my pocket knife and you need a weapon yourself sis.¡± She nods to me, and we proceed to the kitchen. ¡°I think we should carry a few bottles of water and food. Everything is going to go to shit, and we won¡¯t have running water and electricity soon. And speaking of electricity, let''s see if the news is on.¡± I grab the remote and turned down the volume a bit to not attract attention. ¡°I¡¯m here in downtown portland, and we are getting attacked by monsters everywhere. These things are popping up out of nowhere, killing everything they see. Over on that building *points toward a tall building* there is a giant gorilla. It seems that all things fiction has turned to re-¡± Before she finished her sentence, the news reporter got swept up by what seems to be a giant bat. We only got to hear her scream, while the camera dropped on the floor, showing a man, I assume to be the cameraman, running away before he too got swept up. I turned off the tv and look at my sister. ¡°We have to get our supplies and leave now.¡± She agrees and we, together, have 8 bottles of water, 3 packs of beef jerky, about 10 granola bars, a box of cereal, and a few pounds of rice. I also decided to take some bottles of supplements to keep our body in top shape. ¡°Alright let''s go sis.¡± We yard hop 5 houses before we sighted no monsters. We enter a house and immediately I smell death. Not 2 seconds later I see a dead man on the floor. I searched his pockets and found keys to a toyota. I look in the front yard and see the last car I¡¯d like to drive. ¡°A fucking prius! Why the fuck would you own a prius! For fucks sakes! I''m glad this fucking guy is dead for driving a fucking prius. This shit dont even got v-tech.¡± ¡°Bro, we don''t have much of a choice.¡± ¡°Yea but I¡¯d rather have a sports car or a truck to run shit over. Those direwolves would probably run me over in that prius, rather than the other way around. Well, let''s checkout if they got any good food in the garage¡± When I opened the garage door, another savage grin appears before my face, while britney just face palms and shakes her head. Before me was one of my dream cars: a Nissan GTR. "Looks like I got an upgrade from my Altima sis". Chapter 3: Relocating After I was done admiring the car, I noticed a dead lady on the floor. Checking her hands, I noticed the keys to the GTR, ¡°Yes! Perfect¡±. ¡°Where are we gonna go bro?¡± Asks Britney ¡°I''m not sure. I''m thinking of heading towards the damascus area. Mostly farmlands and big properties out there.¡± ¡°You think it''s safe?¡± ¡°I don''t know. I guess we¡¯ll find out¡± I then unlock the car and get inside as britney takes shotgun. With no time to admire the interior, I opened the garage using the button on the ceiling. As the garage door crept upwards, I Noticed a goblin group of 4 right in front of me. ¡°I guess it¡¯s time for a new paintjob¡± I said as i gassed it. The goblins, with no time to dodge or react, got trampled by my godzilla of a car. ¡°Roadkill red¡± I say. My sister just gives me a weird look. ¡°Err roadkill blue I guess¡± I correct myself. As I drove down the neighborhood mainroad, up to the main main road, I notice fires everywhere and the screaming just never stops. I see people being eaten on the road that i just swerve around. My sister has a horrified face, while I had an air of aloofness. I know the world went to shit, but what do these people have to do with me. As I soon got up to the main road, I notice my turn to the right is blocked. ¡°Shit. How do I get through this.¡± ¡°Bro just go on the oncoming lane¡± ¡°Oh yea. Duh¡± Our mainroad had a barrier so I didn''t think of going on oncoming. I guess I follow logical laws subconsciously. As I get into the oncoming lane, another car was speeding down and we almost collided. I then notice a giant rock monster, blocking the roadway throwing cars at anything living. It notices us not too soon later. ¡°Shit!¡± I slam on my brakes and spin around using e brake and luckily this was a 2 lane, so I didn''t have too much trouble. Right as i starting gassing it forward, a flying car crashes down 5 ft in front of me, bouncing and rolling forward. ¡°Fuck fuck fuck fuck! Don''t hit my godzilla oh giant rock golem¡± I said as I was swerving to avoid flying cars. I soon managed to get out of range, but I can still hear the golem roar. ¡°Looks like damascus is a no go¡± ¡°Then where do we go bro?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.. Do you think any of our friends are alive?¡± ¡°We have to find some of them!¡± ¡°My parents are also out there at work.¡± ¡°Costco for your mom first?¡± ¡°Yea¡± I drove down the road towards my mom''s work, hoping that she¡¯d be fine.

As I drove down the main road from the more residential side, to the more shopping area, I noticed things getting worse. More people are getting attacked and the looters have already appeared. I see people fighting each other, as monsters prey on whoever they want. I watched as I passed it all. This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there."BRO!" I look forward to see a truck getting attacked by zombies gripping on the car as it swerves. It was too late for me to dodge, so I swerved and braked hard to get hit in the rear, making me spin out and hit a light pole, knocking me out in the process. I groggily wake up to a flaming engine and 2 busted airbags. I look over to my right and see my sis knocked out with blood running down her head. A feeling of something gripping my heart comes to me. Before the tears came to my eyes, I remember to check her pulse. Lifting my weak right arm up, I check her pulse. As soon as I touched her, she mumbles a bit. Relief strikes me. I shake her a little bit, and she slowly opens her eyes to wake up ¡°Thank goodness you''re fine sis. I thought you were gone too.¡± ¡°What. What happened bro?¡± She says while she cranes her neck and massages it. ¡°We got hit by a truck and hit this pole. We gotta get out sis¡± I respond as I took off my seatbelt and grab my bag and weapons. She quickly follows suit and we exit the car. Luckily no monsters were near, as most of them were at the stores off the main road. We seemed to have crashed at an intersection in the middle of the store plaza. ¡°Shit. I don¡¯t think we can go through this towards my mom. It''ll just keep getting more crowded because of the mall near costco.¡± ¡°But your mom is over there.¡± ¡°Im sure she''s fine¡±. I gave her a fake smile, ¡°she can take care of herself.. I hope.¡± I say as we walk towards another neighborhood. Luckily it seems the store plaza attracted most of the monsters around here, so we got in the neighborhood safe, without a monster encounter. As we walked through the neighborhood, sword out, I searched for a good house to sleep for the night. It was getting dark, being the middle of winter. It was about 4pm now. ¡°From what I know from games and post apocalyptic movies, being out after dark is never a good idea. Nothing good comes out at night. Besides weed¡± I said. ¡°We better look for a house to stay¡± I found a house that seemed empty, with many places to escape. We went around, through the back, and found the backdoor to be opened. Walking through it, alert as can be, I notice the smell of feces and blood. Looking to the right, I saw a dead man faced down. ¡°There might be something in here. Stay behind me sis.¡± ¡°Right¡± she responds, lifting her knife. ¡°Speaking of which sis, I need to teach you how to wield that.¡± Before the red flare, I was trained on how to use swords. On my 18th birthday, I got myself a katana, which I am using now. I then started training everyday with my wooden bokken in my backyard, along with taking lessons on kendo and iaido, making me proficient with the sword and other blades alike. After thoroughly searching the house, we found nothing. ¡°Whatever killed this man must have left out the backdoor. Lets lock all the doors and prepare dinner¡± We cooked whatever what was in the house, saving dry food and non perishables in out bags. We found a bedroom with 2 twin beds. Me and my sister have no qualms about sleeping in the same room, so we picked our beds and set our bags down. I set my katana alongside the bed to my right and kept a knife under my pillow. I picked the bed closest to the door to fight anything that might break in, protecting my sister. I turned around and see my sis changing into pajamas. ¡°Sis, we have an apocalypse and you still brought pajamas¡­¡± ¡°But I always sleep with pajamas¡± ¡°Not anymore sis. You need to stay dressed to be ready to leave at any moment. We don''t know what will happen.¡± ¡°Oh¡­ Ok bro.¡± She responds while putting her jeans back on. ¡°When we find a good place to live, safer than most places, then we can have such luxuries, but right now we just have to survive. Now lets try to get some sleep. We¡¯re leaving as soon as the sun rises¡± ¡°Uhhgg¡± she says as she pulls her blanket over herself. I too put a blanket over me, facing the door at all times and went to sleep. Chapter 4: New Skill I woke up early, as the sun still hasn¡¯t risen, but there is still a little light outside. I wake up Sis and we get our gear ready to go. I go to the front of the house to scout out the area. I see a goblin, but he looks like it¡¯s unresponsive and groggily standing there, facing away from the house.. ¡°Sis, I think the monsters are weaker in the morning. Look there¡±, pointing at the goblin. ¡°I think it¡¯s time that I should you how to fight Sis.¡± I look around to see if there are any other monsters around. Taking advantage of the goblins weakened status, I brought Sis closely behind me. I grab the top of the goblin¡¯s head, pulled it back and sliced its neck open. It falls to the ground, still alive. I point to its left side of its back, ¡°stab it in the heart¡± I tell Sis. Nervous, she grips her knife with both hands and plunges the goblin, killing it. I see a golden yellow color surround her. I pat her on the back. ¡°Good job Sis¡±. She stands up a little shaky. ¡°I don¡¯t like killing things bro.¡± ¡°In this world, we¡¯re going to have to¡± ¡°I know..¡± ¡°You¡¯ll get used to it¡± ¡°Bro¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± ¡°How can you kill so nonchalantly?¡± ¡°Simple. I¡¯m a survivalist and I need to protect you. That¡¯s all there is to it. Those without the skills to kill will be kill,ed and I¡¯m not ready to die, or to let you die. ¡°I need to be stronger bro¡± ¡°Then level up. Ill help you¡± ¡°Thanks bro. You¡¯re the best¡± ¡°Heh¡± I blush a bit. As we walked through the neighborhood, I noticed a lot of dead, half eaten people on the streets and sidewalks. Most of their wounds seem to come from a sword. I also notice horse footprints around those slayed by a sword. ¡°We should get out of here fast¡± ¡°Why? There¡¯s nothing around¡± ¡°That¡¯s what I¡¯m afraid of. Something much stronger killed all these weaker monsters and people. It looks to me like a horse riding soldier from the looks of these prints and sword marks. If there were a lot of weak monsters around, I¡¯d be less worried. These games always have lower hunting areas, but this is not one of them. Let¡¯s hurry¡± Quickly realizing we were in a bad territory, we rushed out of the neighborhood, into a forest. We were still heading to my mother¡¯s work by going through the forest. It would take half a day¡¯s walk through the forest before we reached our destination. With my sword strapped to my back, a knife in my hand, and in my bag, I was prepared to face anything I might have to face. While we were walking forward, I noticed something ahead of me. Quickly I duck behind the brush, with Sis doing the same without question. I wanted to try something out that I didn¡¯t before. I looked the monsters that seems to be an orc. I think hard in my head ¡°Identify!¡±, and a popup appears before me, telling me that i was not in range. I was about 50ft from the orc. I told Sis, ¡°I¡¯m going to get a closer look. Stay here¡±. She nodded and i crept forward. I kept trying to identify the orc every 5 feet, but it kept giving me an ¡°out of range¡±, until I was at 25ft away. This time it showed me.
Orc- Level 7 Health: 560/560 A larger version of goblins, but less ugly
¡°I guess that¡¯s a good description. It does look a little less ugly¡±, I say to myself. To better describe this monster, it had a bald round head, with 2 large fang looking teeth, jutting out its mouth, with light green skin all over. It stood at about 6¡¯5, so i assume this is actually a weaker or younger orc. I slowly crept up behind him, ready to cut its head off. There''s no tough fur in the way, so I should be fine, plus I have inflated stats thanks to being the savage I am. When I got right behind it, I used one of my iaido drawing skills, which I call ¡°decapitating blow¡±. It involves me making a stance, with my katana at my left side, left hand holding the sheath with the thumb under the handguard, and my right hand on the handle. I pushed my left thumb upwards to push it out slowly, to not damage the scabbard. I make a ¡°che¡± noise and the orc turns around. I drew my sword into an overhead arc, or rather in this case, a just a bit over the shoulders kind of arc. The orc, taken by surprise, noticed my blade too slowly, and my sword hits its neck. As I know, to slice through, I had to pull it as soon as I met resistence to make it cut through easy. Unfortunately, I was not able to decapitate it, probably because I¡¯m 4 levels below it. Even so, I still managed to slice open its neck and the jugular, making blood spurt out. Jumping back I notice I got 2 popups but I quickly closed them to look at them after i finish off the orc. I identified the orc again. This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
Orc- Level 7 Health:190/560 (Heavy Laceration -10hp/sec) A larger version of goblins, but less ugly
So it seems that I can apply status effects without special skills. I waited out the 19 seconds and also called Sis up. I didn''t want to go near the angry orc, swinging its club around. As soon as it died, I checked the popups.
You have applied ¡°Heavy Laceration¡± to the orc

After a quick look through, I added 5 points to agility. From what I know from games, I know we will have classes soon and that these stat points really matter according to your class, so I decided to only use 5/15 points. As soon as I finish up, my sis arrives next to me. ¡°Now what bro?¡± ¡°Onward. To costco¡± I said as I wiped the blue blood off my sword to resheath it. Authors note: It is now fixed for those of you that saw the mishap. Thank you to my helper! Chapter 5: The Sieged Warehouse While we were walking through the forest, towards costco, I remembered I was 52 exp points away from leveling up. Noticing this, I decided to level up before heading to costco, so I told my sis, ¡°Hey sis, I¡¯m going to go look for food and level up to 4 while I¡¯m at it. Go ahead and set up camp¡± ¡°Okay bro, but be safe out there. Don¡¯t take any chances. You¡¯re all I have now¡± With a grim half grin, I nodded and headed out. I decided to head towards the direction costco is at, so that I can do some scouting ahead at the same time. Sneaking around the brush and trees, I noticed a few boars around. When I got about 20 feet away from one, I used identify.
Wild Boar- Level 5 Health: 400/400 It¡¯s a fucking boar. A normal fucking wild boar
"I see. So it¡¯s a fucking boar. Makes sense." A little confused from the description, I just shook my head. ¡°Whoever wrote these descriptions must think they¡¯re hilarious¡± I said to myself. As I was about to approach and attack it, I noticed a guy about the same age as me in a tree above the boar. Deciding to watch, I crouched down. A few seconds later, after the guy, which seems to be preparing himself, he jumps off the tree and stabs the boar straight down its head, knocking it to the ground. He takes the knife back out and squirts blue blood upon himself. After the boars last cry, the guy takes up the boar and walks away, towards what I assume might be his camp. I follow him to see what he¡¯s up to. Not too long later, he arrives at a campsite, where a girl stands up to see him. The girl says the the guy, ¡°Bro! You hunting a boar!? Don¡¯t you know how dangerous that is?¡± ¡°Eh?! I thought you¡¯d be happy?¡± ¡°Happy that you¡¯re risking your life out there? Next time on coming with you¡± After a sigh, he responded ¡°Can¡¯t go against you sis. You win¡± Right after the short exchange, I heard a female scream to the right. The siblings looked in the same direction, nodded to each other and started running towards the scream, leaving everything behind. I followed them in a parallel line, making sure to not lose sight of them. They stopped once they entered a clearing. 50 feet behind them, I noticed a manticore the size of an average 2 story house. Seeing that, I didn¡¯t stay for it to see me. I ran as fast as I could towards my campsite. Arriving at my campsite in 15 minutes, frantic as fuck, I said to my sis ¡°we have to leave now!¡± ¡°What? Why? What happened bro? Are you okay?¡± ¡°There¡¯s a manticore¡± ¡°A what?¡± ¡°No time. We have to pack up and leave right now.¡± With no further questions, we packed up our stuff in time just to hear the screaming of people of what I assume to be the siblings. With a slight remorse, I took a last look in the direction, and headed towards costco. ¡°We should be there soon. Just a few more miles sis¡± I said to my sis 2 hours after the manticore incident. While we were traveling, Sis and I hunted a few boars. I got to my level 4 quite easily by killing a few boars. I decided to save the unused points as well. I noticed that there were different colored exp for monsters. The first goblin i killed had it yellow, the werewolf had yellow green, and these boars give yellow with a little green. My theory is that different colors mean different amounts of exp gained. Green must mean a lot because I instantly leveled from the werewolf, even though I didn¡¯t give the finishing blow. This also means that exp is split according to damage too. Sis also leveled up to 3, after I weakened and distracted the boars. She is still a noob, but she¡¯ll come around when I teach her properly.

I decided to tell sis to stay put, while I go scout. When I got in view of costco, my face paled, and I started sweating. What was in front of my was the worse case scenario. Around the costco, and especially at the gates, there were monsters everywhere. There were goblins, orcs, imps, minotaurs, and an undead horse rider, which I assume was also in the neighborhood we slept in before. When I turned around to head back, a werewolf was already swinging its right claw at me. I tried blocking with my unsheathed sword, but the weight of the blow knocked me away, causing me damage. I checked my hp and I was at 150/180. Even though I managed to block, I took 30 damage. I better take this monster seriously. I used identify on the werewolf.
Permanent Werewolf- Level 9 Health 700/700 Was once a man, but gave into his wolf heritage and became a permanent werewolf, never again able to shift into a man
What! This werewolf was level 9. How in the hell did my brother take this thing on at level 1. I prepared myself as the werewolf charged at me. Deciding now was a good time as ever to test out my skill, I yelled out ¡°decapitating blow!¡± and my body went to the correct stance instantly, flicked out the top of the blade and proceeded the swing. The werewolf, noticing my swing a little late, tried blocking with its right wrist, but it just cut through its arm, severing it off, barely. While the wolf was howling in pain, another annoying popup came.
You have severed a hand You have applied ¡°Heavy Laceration¡± to the Permanent Werewolf
While it was distracted by a missing hand, I jumped, turned my blade upwards, and stabbed down onto the werewolfs head, instantly killing it. Checking my exp to see the difference, I was at 155/2000 at level 4, but now I¡¯m at 855/2000. The exp on these werewolves are great, but they¡¯re really strong and it probably has to do with the level difference. After wiping the blood off my blade, I decided to scout around the costco to see what i could use. There were a bunch of cars in the parking lot, and at the other side of the parking lot from costco, is the costco gas station. I walked around the whole perimeter of costco, being wary to avoid any monsters. There were 2 garage doors for the main entrances, and an exit on each side of the building for emergencies. Seeing all there is to see, I decided to head back to where Sis was. When I got to her, she asked ¡°So whats going on?¡± ¡°There¡¯s monsters all around the building. ¡°Is your mom alright?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. I think everybody is holed up inside of it. We need to get them out.¡± ¡°But how bro?¡± I give her a savage grin. ¡°I¡¯ve got a plan.¡±
