《Red Skies: Worlds End》


 Prologue : October 12th , 2015 The Day The World Ended

    Hey guys I''m an Avid Reader of this Site and Wanted to finally step my foot into this type of fiction as I write my own Science Fiction novel. I would very Much appreciate reader feedback on this title and make it a bit of community project.


    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    My drive to school was the most normal that I had in a long time, no rush hour traffic, no idiot drivers, just smooth driving all the way to school.  The only thing on my mind was getting back in shape for wrestling season in a few weeks, one of my only passions before heading off to my dads college Alma-mater and try to break the family tradition of starting college only to never finish until late in life.


    These thoughts were still on my mind as a pulled up on my school lot, waving to a few kids who recognized my car. I locked up my old girl and headed right to where I spent most my time before I got shot, The School weight-room.


    I sigh, the wound throbs even thinking about that incident, I really just hope to get through this year and be gone and no more surprises.


    As I opened up the Weight-room door I see  that the wrestling coach''s light is on in his office so I knock 4 times like I used to before I started to strip down out my school clothes to a pair of workout shorts.


    I slide my shorts on and look in the mirror and run my hand over my shoulder, over the bullet and surgery scars mixed together to remind him of Charley, the women who shot me. A voice behind me alerts me that Coach Brian is behind me watching with a look of pity and apology.


    "You really want to wrestle this season William?  I''m sure they will still honor there scholarship even if you don''t go back to the mat this season. Your doctor already told them they you will back to normal before college season next year.'' His voice carries concern that is well appreciated but I just shake my head and grin as I walk over to workout bench and start setting my weight limit of 180 pounds.


    "We both know Coach that I can''t be sure that they won''t reduce it in the mean time. My parents don''t need any surprises like that. I''ll wrestle this season and show them I''m ready with my record so there is no reason to doubt me."


    He sighs and chuckles, ruffling is hair as he watches me carefully work through a few reps before he turns to go back into his office before stopping,"Be careful William I don''t know what the hell that Charley girl did to get herself back in this school to finish her senior year but she is in the school so stay clear of her just in case. Don''t need her trying to get at you again.''


    That statement stalls me mid rep as I mull  it over in my head, the woman who shot me in a would be mugging is back in the same damn school? What in the hell happened, my lawyer said she would be spending the rest of this year in juvenile detention  before jail got a hold of her.


    Anger seeps into my workout on the bench press and the pec machine as I try to tighten myself back into condition after being on so much bed rest . Its a furious workout that I cool down in the showers before the  first period bell rings out so I dry off and rush to class, just barely.


    Class was nothing new really, just review material so I stared out of the window alot, Watching kids sneak down the street to Taco Bell for food or sneak into school because they are late.


    If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.


    It was almost comical until I saw something big and green slither between a set of cars in the parking lot . The hairs on the back of my neck stand up as my breathing gets heavy. I see a snake like head pop over the hood of car before it then, in the blink of an eye, disappears.


    I rub my eyes repeatedly as I try to rationalize what I just saw. I''m gazing hard out the window that I don''t even realize  bell has rung. A  friend of mine from My homeroom,Jason ,  shakes me out of my stupor with a slap on my back.


    "Dude why are you spacing out?  Its time to get to homeroom for role-call, no need to miss that on your first day back."


    He smiles at me and it calms me down a bit before I join him leaving the room and head right into our Homeroom, but with the vision of that Giant snake outside in the back of my mind.


    It seems like I was missed while I was gone, Not 5 minutes into homeroom I get swarmed by people asking about the mugging, how it felt to be shot. How I felt. It seemed some of was sincere worry for my safety but I felt alot it was false so I just smiled and laughed alot until they got their fill and sat down for roll call. My gaze returns the window a desk away.


    My eyes roam back and forth looking for anything that may be out of the norm, but nothing  happens then I hear my name called and I turn my head and answer I''m here  and smile at my Teacher Miss Vale. She was one of the few people from school that came to see me in the hospital, mainly I think because she is an old family friend. She was pretty much My Third Older sister, Adopted by the other two for how much she was around the house.


    She smiles back at me and than I feel the change, The Temperature of the room dropped significantly to the point where I can see my breath in front of my face. I see Panic in Miss Vales face as she felt it also and both our gazes shift to the rest of the classroom and its the same for everyone. I shoot out of my seat and head towards the window trying to see if something changed outside on the ground and its nothing for a moment before its starts raining harder than I''ve seen it out of Hurricane season. All my senses are screaming at me that something is really off .


    My classmates see it also and some of them are getting weirded out by the weather change, others are talking about the abrupt weather change as I walk over to Miss Vale about to tell her what I thought I saw earlier in the parking lot but  once again events continue to spiral downward as the rain stops and  low humming noise came be heard as temperature rises back up to normal  and right after that the skies go blood red and shine ominously as the humming intensifies.


    The fear in my heart is almost eating me alive and whole room is just about silent with only the sound of heavy breathing and the humming being audible  as we all look out the window.


    My mind is racing, trying to once again explain it away as some weird weather phenomenon  but the only thing I can think of is something that Happened in a Comic book I read from my dads collection, About Red Skies being the sign that your universe is being invaded and with that thought I start laughing , laughing harder than I can remember having ever laughed.


    There was no way that the Red Skies meant that right?


    And almost as If to mock me a Blue Box popped up in front of my face......

    Your worlds development though is not up to Council of worlds standards


    so you all will be forcefully upgraded. Training domes are being prepared.


    -Council Of Worlds</td></tr></tbody></table>


    I hear crying burst out around me as  I assume they are reading the same damn blue box that is front me. I can''t even believe what I''m reading.


    "What in the hell is the Fucking council of worlds?" I shout out as my knee''s give out on me and I drop to tilted floor. I hear heels clicking  over the cries and abject horror from the students around me, Ms. Sheila Vale''s rubs my back lightly as if to soothe the realization that we have lost a war no one knew about and now we have lost our world.


    "William it will be alright okay. I don''t know what the hell is going on but we are going to get out of here and get you to your parents than we can figure this out." Her voice is as smoother as butter,  easing me down  from my almost frantic thoughts but as I turn to face her an almighty pain crawls over my whole body.


    The pain rushes up my spine to my head and hits me like brick to the skull, swaying my whole body is agony. I try to fight it and See if Ms. Vale is okay but it hurts to much to turn my head all the way but I do her collapse next to me  and I hear students drop one after one until I hear no more.


    I try to fight through with all my might, terrified of what might happen while I''m out  but  then like an electric shock, a new wave of pain rolls over me causing me to cry out  "Graaaaahhh!" as my head hit the tiled floor ,blacking out.


    "........"


    "........"


    "......"


    "..."


    My mind is a haze of pain and confusion  as I feel something heavy down on my back, I almost go to buck it off as my hearing comes back to me and all I hear around me is cries and screams that shake me to my core and stop me from moving immediately.


    "Help me! I''m stuck Under these Desks!!"


    "Oh god my leg is broken!"


    " My arms are trapped help!"


    The pleas for help almost compel me to jump up and help them but what stops me is the sound of the Class room door slamming opening and  The sight of  green feet rushing into the room.


    And as the horror washes over me, the screaming starts and I see green feet shuffling about, grabbing people, clubbing people with something wooden and dragging them out into the hallway somewhere.


    The screaming and crying is overwhelming and it doesn''t seem to just be my class, it seems to be ever present and all consuming in its misery as it echoes from and into the room.


    I can''t even begin to process what is happening to the others in the school before A new set of feet step into the room and   I hear what I think is talking.


    "Gua Gu Grah Guaa Gua Gu!!!" Its coming from the Area of the Red one and its voice booms in the room. The green ones scramble like the Red one is in charge and I see all But  one leave the room. and it Seems like they are talking.


    "GU Gua Gah Gra Gra."


    "Gu Gu Guam Gui Guaa!"


    "Gau!"


    I can''t even begin to under stand what is being said by them at all  I try to watch to see how and where they are moving when I hear rattling next to me and the two of them stop talking and look over in my direction.


    My head swivels and I See Sheila start to come to and she is pushing something off of her before she realizes that we aren''t alone in the room. I can''t see her face only her legs and hands and I see they are shaking so I know she see''s the creatures in the room for us.


    And Then I hear distinctive laughter, I see the body of the Red One shake as he bellows its laughter at her Fear and it eats at  me. I see It start to take step toward Our side of the room as my blood boils at its laughter.


    It feels as If Its laughter is mocking her, mocking us for our fear of it. The rage bubbles to a boiling in my gut and I stand up as fast as I can, shaking off what seems to be a few desks and an easel board from my back.


    I come to eye level with Red One and the first thing I notice is that I am eye level with now.


    Second I see that is bare naked and is built like I would imagine a college football player would look, with taunt muscles all over and a abs I wished I could have had.


    And Third , that the green one was  a little over a foot shorter than it, and its body was much more skinny, almost like a middle schoolers body, Also it seemed to have broken off part of a wooden chair and been using it to club students.


    The Red One almost immediately stops moving towards Sheila and is eyeing me with caution and the green one  is eyeing me with fear and killing intent, moving the damn piece of chair from hand to hand as If to taunt me.


    I move slowly, Keeping the two of them in my sight, towards Sheila, and I grab her collar and pull her  across the floor roughly so that she slides behind me.


    I see The fear in her eyes fade slightly as she recognizes me,  I give her  small, resigned smile because I feel like this will be the last one I might ever give to anybody.


    In that small moment between Us I think she might have figured out I might die but I don''t know because the Red One dashed forward  and a punch of  his hits me square in my chest sending me sprawling backwards into  Sheila''s desk, shaking it .


    My chest is on fire as the Beast Howls and charges me again. My  Hand fumbles for anything it can reach and throw, Staplers, apples, folders, a small clock. They all Go flying towards it as it charges.


    It''s fist rises toward my face as I lean to my left and it hits only open air but our bodies still connect and it hurts to be pressed into the desk on my back, scooting the whole thing backwards a few inches with our body Weight.


    My mind is scrambling for something to do when I feel both of its hands grab  my arms to still me before its head  comes crashing down onto my forehead, making my head explode in pain.


    The pain helps clear my mind and the rage starts to take over as I see its head come again, I buckle my knee''s and its headbutt misses me but mine doesn''t as I leap up and hit it square in its jaw, snapping it shut and shacking its brain.


    As I look up to see how much I did to it I notice there is a Blue box above its head and its words make me grin.


    <table><tbody><tr><td>-15 critical hit!</td></tr></tbody></table>

    "Guaaa!!!!!!"


    Its grip slackens as its hands go up to grip its throbbing head, leaving its body open to my fist  crashing into what I''m hoping is its Kidney. As my fist Imapacts it I feel its body lean forward and something crack beneath my fists, Its body being brittler than I thought it would be


    <table><tbody><tr><td>-15 critical hit!


    -1 Bleeding damage</td></tr></tbody></table>


    Once again another blue box appears above its head, this time with something about bleeding. but I don''t have enough time to Think about what is going on. As Its reeling from both hits I step in, grab one of its arms  and I Pivot and Turn on my Heal and with All My strength I Hip throw it down with a loud crack onto the tiled floor


    <table><tbody><tr><td>-10</td></tr></tbody></table>


    Its like practice for me now  as I follow It down to the floor, climbing on its chest  as I start raining fists down on The Red One''s ugly face, my rage bubbling over as blue boxes start flying every where.

    I''m zoned out punching the Red One into oblivion that I almost miss her scream as Something brown comes into my vision and hit''s me square in the chest, knocking me off the Red Ones chest and it turns my chest into a sea of pain..


    It follows up quickly  another swing this time for my head and I guard from the flat of my back, my arms taking it so my head does not.


    As It winds up for a stronger swing,  I grab a leg and roll side ways on top of it , Taking the Green one down also, but no where near as hard as my previous hip throw.


    My mind is racing now, I have to put  This Green One  out before the Red One comes rushing over. I shoot to my feet and stomp down on the Wrist of the Green One. A Loud snapping noise echoes in the room  it  squeals in pain


    <table><tbody><tr><td>-12</td></tr></tbody></table>


    It grabs its wrist and turns on its side yelling out to the Red One who is  now getting on its feet. I''m getting Exhausted  My body is getting  heavy from the fight that feels as If its going on forever with no end in sight.


    A Red Fist once again comes flying but its an angry hay-maker that swing wide  as I duck it ,  the power of the swing pushing air across my short hair as well as turning the Red Ones  Body almost completely around comically.


    I grin  as I see Its back and My arms quickly wrap around its waist tightly, causing the Red One to Let out a Confused sound but its too late  as I lift up and arch my back, its feat flailing in the air as  I complete a German Suplex, causing  dull cracking sound to ring out as I feel it  Body twitch.


    <table><tbody><tr><td>-20 critical hit!


    -10 bleeding!</td></tr></tbody></table>


    But I don''t stop I plant my feet and straighten the both of Us and as its limp body  flails in my grip I lift It again and crash the back of Its Skull into he floor tile and  I finish up with one more  that leaves my back burning from straining it as it completes and I feel Blood  splash up from its skull onto my neck.


    <table><tbody><tr><td>-20 critical hit!


    -10 bleeding!</td></tr></tbody></table>


    <table><tbody><tr><td>-20 critical hit!


    -10 bleeding!


    Fatal Blow!</td></tr></tbody></table>


    I throw the Red One off  and look down  to make sure its done and i''m Almost sickened by what I see the back of skull saved in, blood and brain matter are oozing out of the cracks  but its not twitching so i know its done.


    My eyes swivel to where the Green one was and we meet eyes  and I see its eyes motion slightly to the door a second before it dashes towards it  but its legs are shorter and I''m faster so I reach Him before it gets to the door. My Fist Impacts its body and takes it off its feet and send it Flying into a pile of desks.


    <table><tbody><tr><td>-20 critical hit!</td></tr></tbody></table>


    I''m not sure if it was my power or because their surprisingly light bodies that made it fly like it did but It  doesn''t matter at the moment as I dash Over to the Green one and I flip it onto its stomach on a Desk before it realizes what is about to happen and  Grip its head with both of my hand and twist as It Struggles Beneath me, Its one working hand clawing at my Fingers  and its teeth biting into my palm but the dead is almost done


    With one last heavy twist,  its neck snaps and its whole body goes limp almost immediately. I slowly climb off its back as my rage finally starts to wane and I turn to see the room is just about empty and that the screams are still ever present.


    The only soul in the room with me still is Sheila, who see''s that i''m like a puppet with its strings cut  as the adrenaline  starts to come down and my muscles scream from overwork .


    I can''t help but Laugh as Sheila catches me before I hit the floor and she sits down with me for a moment before getting up, closing and locking the back and front doors and pull the shade over the glass windows on the door.


    '' Smart Sheila, Pull down the shades on the Windows also so nothing can see inside''


    Almost immediately after that thought she goes over to the other windows and pulls down the shades and for once I feel at ease a bit more.


    She comes back over to me and when she grabs my hand its then I realize that I''m shaking. I want to laugh at the absurdity of everything but I can''t chance making such a loud noise.


    We sit there for some time before another blue box pops up in my vision


    <table><tbody><tr><td>Notice</td></tr><tr><td>Special Kills accumulated ...........Processing</td></tr><tr><td>Rewards Pending...........</td></tr></tbody></table>


    I lightly laugh, confusing Sheila  before I speak to her.


    "Seems Like I have something special rewards coming From Big Red one and Little Green Two. Lets see what I get."

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    It took almost 10 minutes for the Blue Box to reappear and in the meantime me and Sheila  pushed her big wooden desk against the back door and stack some desks against the front door of the room. We even used the bodies of the Red One and the Green One to weight down  the desks.


    It was tiring but necessary work and we were just sitting down in a couple of chairs when a loud ding rings in my skull making me flinch at the sound of it.

    The Blue Boxes come almost rapid fire  as I strain to keep up with the them.


    All the information confirms a sinking feeling I''ve felt briefly during the fight as the numbers started to pop up from my punches and throws.


    1. The Screens Identify the Red and Green beasts as Hobgoblin and Goblin  respectively.


    To confirms this I look over to the corpses we have strung over a couple desks to weight them down and now where there was nothing before is  a Blue Box that Identifies them as Dead Hobgoblin and Dead Goblin.


    So it seems the name only shows up If I know it? That''s not completely useless  but still inconvenient.


    My mind rolls back to old Dungeons and Dragons books and try and compare the pictures of the Goblins  with the one in front of me  and I could slap myself because they look almost the same but bigger, The Goblin being 5 foot 5 inches tall and the Hobgoblin being the same height as me, 6 foot 6 inches.


    So fantasy creatures are alive and well now from whatever the Council Of Worlds but they aren''t exactly the same as we have pictured them. Well it seems I will need to keep a look out for them now ......


    God Dammit this going to be hard isn''t it?


    Well aside from all that, Level gains, Titles, and Skills ......... What the Hell! They took over the world and made it into a RPG Game World!


    I feel rage at the injustice of it all boils slowly into red hot rage in my gut. I only find my way out the downward spiral of rage by  a soft hand shaking my shoulder.


    " Your Blue box came back right? What did it say William?"


    My rage cools quickly and I pause for a second before I turn and  look at Sheila, anxiety clearly written all over her face. She thinks its more bad news by the look of it, which it is if you sit back and think about it.


    I sigh lightly before slowly speaking, making sure the seriousness of this  issue is apparent in my voice.


    "Sheila it seems like there is some sort of Rpg  system in place, looks to be close to Dungeons and Dragons style in the stat lay out I got. Also I got some type of skill and title for killing those two over there, Which by the way are Hobgoblin and Goblin respectively."


    I point to the corpses on the desks by the door before continuing to speak.


    "They are the real deal if the Blue Box can be believed. It means those Bastards dumped fantasy creatures on us. Who knows what the hell else is out there!"


    Once again  I let rage seep into my voice as I almost growl the last few words to her, which I almost regret as I see Sheila''s face blanch as my words wash over her. It seems she realizes the gravity of the situation like I thought she would, her and my sisters were big fantasy nerds around the time of the Lord Of The Rings movies started coming out. It was one of the many things that drew her and my sisters together all those years ago.


    I let her brood on it for a few seconds before continuing,


    "Give me a second, I have to check something. Skills!"


    <table><tbody><tr><td>Skill Name</td><td>Skill Rank</td><td>Skill Level</td><td>Skill Experience</td></tr><tr><td>The Beast King''s Will</td><td>Unique</td><td>Beginner 1</td><td>0.00%</td></tr></tbody></table>

    As I read through the skills , all I could do is scrunch my face up in confusion and disbelief.


    "What the hell are the Beast Kings moves?"


    My voice drips with the disbelief at the vague description of my new ''Unique'' Skill. I continue reading through the rest of it before it I hit the end with the Demerits.


    "Wait, wait wait wait. There is a magic system and I don''t get to touch it?! And I can''t wear any Armour either?!"


    I almost shout it out in frustration that not 15 minutes into this screwed up new world I''m already handicapped.


    I''m sitting there stewing in my anger for a moment or two before I notice Sheila pacing out the corner of my eye. her mouth moving, mumbling to herself. I''m surprised I was so engrossed in the skill list That I did not feel her get up from beside me and start pacing, I''m going to have to watch myself so that doesn''t happen later.


    "Status."


    I mumble it out, testing how loud I have to be to activate the system.

    I''m not sure what surprised me more, my Wisdom score being that High or my Charisma score being that low, though truthfully it does explain why I lost a lot of arguments and did terrible in Mini-Debates for my World History classes.


    I mull around the status page a bit before I close it and stand up. My motion draws sheila attention, halting her pacing and she stares at me, with anticipation and a hint of fear.


    "Don''t worry it''s nothing bad I promise. Check Your Status Sheila. All You have to do is mumble the word status by itself and it shows up. Check for anything weird while I check some  these desks and book-bags those my peers left behind when they ran away and left us to fend off these beasts."


    I give her a reassuring smile, which she returns before straightening herself up a bit and  mumbling status. Seeing that nothing bad happened, I turn away from her and begin scrounging  around the room, sifting through the thrown desks and chairs and book bags.


    Most seem to have have various nick-knacks in it and mostly useless notebooks and pencils. I collect all the scissors, a few box-cutters, and a lot of snacks and water bottles.  I find two of the bigger book bags and begin to dump all the supplies  in the bags, during which an Idea Hits me. I quickly zip the book bags up and stride back to Sheila, tossing the back to her, taking her by surprise  and making her fumble with the bag before gripping it tightly.


    "Hey you have the keys to the teacher lounge down hall right Sheila?"


    "Yeah I have the key to open it up, my purse is in there too now that I think about it."


    I grin at her before replying,


    "The paper trimmer in there is  as old as in and it has one of heavier blades I''ve seen in the school. If there are Hobgoblins  and Goblin bastards running around here I''m going to need more than just my fists to deal with all of them."


    She stares at me for a moment before she grins back at me before taking a few steps forward and hugs me tightly, laying her head on my shoulder. It catches me  off guard for a moment  before I hug her back with a small smile still on my face.


    "If all this ends badly William, I want you to know that I was happy to be with someone who I feel is family when it ends."


    Her voice is small and I hear the sadness in it,  it stirs my heart and I hug her back harder and It was perfect for only a moment before a Ding echoes in my head.


    <table><tbody><tr><td>Ding!</td></tr></tbody></table>

    The Blue box pops back up and as I read it my previous warm feeling quickly retreat and a new creeping cold begins to gnaw at my heart.


    "All this was just training mode."


    The disbelief in voice is palpable as I quickly Look down at Sheila who is looking up with terror all over her face. A chill rolls down my spine as I break the hug .


    "We are getting to the teachers lounge now! "


    I dash to the back door and  slam the  the desk out of the way, sending it sliding wildly out of the way.  I feel Sheila plastered against my  back, right before I unlock the backdoor and peer outward.


    It was almost eerily normal, There were no goblins  in this hallway but there were students roaming around, some are dazed but most just look confused. I don''t look for long before I stick my head back in and close the door before whispering back to Sheila.


    "Count to 5 on my back with your hands and on 1 we dash like crazy to the Lounge. No stopping for anything other than Your Purse and The Blade."


    She Immediately starts the countdown


    5...


    4...


    3...


    2...


    And With ''1'', I open the door wide and I''m gone dashing down the hallways. I feel the eye''s of students  on Me as I run past them.


    "Hide, Go Hide Somewhere!"


    The timer ticking down in my vision  compels me to run harder than I ever remember  running, its as If I turned into some type of track star.


    <table><tbody><tr><td>Timer : 4 minutes 42 seconds</td></tr></tbody></table>


    Just as  I''m about to reach the end of the row of classrooms  nearest to the lounge, A Goblin starts to come around  the corner, in his hand a small mallet, The damn thing is completely unaware I''m barreling towards it.


    My mouth sets in a grimace as I force myself to speed up as I hold my fist out  almost level with its  chest.


    It notices my footsteps before I get to it but all it does is turn towards me like an Idiot to see my fist opening  to a palm, slamming into it and gripping it''s head  and lifting it off it''s feet with all my right arms strength, carrying it  few more feet before  angling to the side of the door a bit pushing it ahead of me just a bit, slamming its head against the wall, a sickening crack of its skull opening like an egg shell rings out a half second before  I slam my full body against its thin frame, damn near pulping the Goblin.


    My arm shakes from the feedback of the impact and I''m still panting from the exertion from hauling the Goblin into the wall. I''m almost in a daze when The sound of the door opening next to me brings me back to reality.


    Sheila kept up surprisingly well in her low heel''s, I hope she has some Tennis at her desk or car or its going to get super rough for her. She shouldered the door open as soon as she unlocked it and I rush in behind her.


    <table><tbody><tr><td>Timer : 3 minutes 30 seconds</td></tr></tbody></table>


    I slam the door behind me and hurriedly re-locked the door behind us, Securing its 3 locks before turning around to see the room. There is a teacher who looks as if he has a Hangover, nursing a coffee in his hands and not even acknowledging us and our noise.The only other thing moving is Sheila who is rushing towards her purse I presume.


    I cast my gaze over the rest of the room and try to mentally take note of everything, cushioned chairs, two couches, a refrigerator, microwave and some cabinets and then I see what I came here for, my Paper Trimmer.


    <table><tbody><tr><td>Timer : 2 minutes 45 seconds</td></tr></tbody></table>


    "Sheila times almost up! Get that Storage door open!"


    I yell unintentionally as the timer keeps winding down, only increasing the cold dread that has been gnawing at my heart ever since the timer started.


    I knock a few chairs out of my way as I run towards the paper cutter. Looking over the 20 inch blade almost makes me jump for joy before grab its weird screw that keeps it between the bracket and begin to frantically unscrew it from the base. My heart is pounding  as each twist slowly free''s the blade as the timer countsdown to what I can only assume is Doom. I''m not even paying attention to the time  as I see a bit of screw left  connecting to it.


    Sheila''s voice breaks through my concentration as my blood chill as she announces the time.


    "One minute left William! Hurry your narrow ass up!"


    I could Almost laugh at the insult if not for  panic setting in for me. And it was then when the screw finally comes out and I yank the blade up by its handle and run full speed into the closet.


    I almost slam into her as I rush into the closet, plastering herself against the shelf to avoid me . She Roughly slams the door and turning the nob on the back to lock it from the inside..


    As We sit there in the dark with only the pale red Light from the sky seeping through the door, the time hits 20 seconds and brace myself  for what ever is going to show up at the end of the timer.


    In the last 10 seconds Sheila pipes in with one of the weirdest statements I''ve heard today.


    "Hey Your skill is called The Beast King''s Will right? Maybe it has something to do with Leomon?"


    My mind goes black for a moment as The panic seeps a away and confusion sets in as her words wash over me.


    "Leomon the Digimon? What the hell does that have to do with anything?...... Wait didn''t have a move called Fist of the Beast King?"

    The last Blue box appears and a loud Roar rips through the whole school and then the pain starts as once again my world goes dark.

 Chapter 3: Cleaning and Regrouping

    I know I was missing for a few days but I wanted to get ahead of chapters in my own notebook before typing them out for you guys. i''m about 3 chapters ahead now so  I hope I can  start Typing chapters before I head to work and then finish them when I get home at night and have the upload them. I will be working on Chapters throughout the day in my notebook, especially during my break so hopefully We can keep a pace of 3 to 4 chapters a Week.


    And Like always don''t be afraid of commenting and Reviewing. I want alot of feedback!


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    To be completely honest, I am getting tired of being knocked out  and slowly regaining consciousness on the floor of my school. At least this time is the carpet in the storage closet and not the wooden tiled floor of the classroom.


    My eye''s flutter open carefully taking in my surroundings, There in the room but Sheila''s body laying next to that I could see in the dim light that came from under the door, Its red glow still eerie in its steadiness.


    I grope out into the darkness a bit before my hand grazes over my prized Paper trimmer blade. It takes me a little longer to find the handle and slowly ease onto my feet, keeping a close eye on our surroundings and it is them I hear the crunching and ripping noise ease into the closet from the teachers lounge itself. It seems as though something is in Lounge now and the poor hungover teacher seems to have gotten the worst of it.

    - While in the Dungeon no parties can be formed.</td></tr></tbody></table>


    The Dings sneak up on me in their rapid succession and their content just sends a jolt of anticipation and then the next box  takes all of that away and replaces it with just sadness and fear.


    So this school is going to be a damn Dungeon now? And we are rewarded for killing people with 5 times the experience points? What in the hell do these people want from us?


    .....


    ......


    ..


    ....


    .......


    We are going to be knee deep in students and teachers killing one another aren''t we?


    A sigh escapes me as I brood for a moment on some of the more sociopathic members of our student body, The girl who shot me , Charley being first and foremost in my head.


    ..


    ......


    .........


    I give a silent prayer for those who might still be alive and give a secret prayer in my heart that people like Charley get shanked by one of the Goblins or some monster.


    While I''m so wrapped up in my own head, Sheila comes to and shakily gets to her feet. It seems like she got the same messages I did if I go the pale look on her face.  I reach out and grasp her wrist to let her know I''m still with her, the act seemingly calming her a bit before feel her body sag slightly and I wonder what she is reading, maybe the player experience bonus part if I could guess. I decide to try and distract her from the sadness with a question.


    "Hey what was so important in the Purse that you had to make sure to get it before getting into the closet?"


    I feel her flinch for a second before a quiet chuckle escapes her as she reaches around inside her purse, pulling out a pair of Tennis by how much I can see in the dimmed light and a few seconds later she pulls out something I immediately recognize as the going away present my dad gave to her before she moved away to college, .357 magnum model 60.


    A low whistle of surprise escapes me as I stare at the revolver, causing another chuckle out her before she speaks again.


    "Yeah I can''t be running around in low heels in this place, no need for broken ankles with Goblins around. And yeah this is the pistol you old man gave way back when, I was going to head over to the shooting range near the police academy down the road after work to renew my permit. I even brought like 5 boxes of ammo to shoot off to take the stress away, sadly they are in my car in the teacher''s parking lot right behind this building though I do have a few bullets in my purse just jumbling around from the last time I was at the range, haven''t cleaned the damn thing out since then."


    She rambles on a bit out nervousness at having shown me the gun she had in school but who cares about that now. I''m almost ecstatic at the thought of us having a gun on our side. It makes leveling her so much easier, bad thing is that we have to get downstairs to her car to get the majority of her ammo.


    Wow 5 boxes huh? Knowing her its the 50 count boxes so its 250 rounds of magnum shells down stairs waiting for us to pick them up hopefully.


    My musing gets interrupted by the noises outside the door getting louder, the crunching and munching sounds making the good feelings from our talk dull a bit and bring me back into our situation. It seems to be heard by Sheila also as her face fills with disgust at what that sound must mean for the hung-over teacher.


    Sheila quickly digs 6 shells out her purse, loading and setting her gun before she motions for us to leave the safety of our closet. I hesitate for a moment before nodding back to her definitely.


    I slide to the door swiftly and unlock it before looking back at her to make sure she is ready. She has both hands on the gun at a ready position like my old taught us. I smile back at her before turning around and opening the door, easing it open slowly as  the over head light from the Teachers lounge floors in along with the red glow from outside.


    The munching and crunching noises now have a clear direction, near the end of the counter across the room I can see two pale white backs hunched over what I can only assume is a corpse.


    It seems that they didn''t hear the door unlock and open so that''s great for us.


    I check to see if the door leading to the hallway is open and thankfully it''s not open thankfully. I motion over to the couches to indicate where I''m headed before I crab walk my way as silently as I can, making it to them before steadily moving down to the edge of the last last love seat nearest to the noise.


    God the smell of blood is so thick and what ever the beast is smells to high heaven to. It makes me want to gag but I''m stopped  by Sheila''s hand on my shoulder again, indicating she is right next to me. I reach out and tap her leg to get her attention on my hand before motioning for her to stand and fire from behind the couch and that I will run around  the couch and fight myself.. Her body moves as if she is laughing at my weird hand signals but it seems as If she get the plan.


    I take another look  over the couch to the white beasts to see if I could see what the hell they were


    <table><tbody><tr><td colspan=''3''>??? ? Level</td></tr></tbody></table>


    <table><tbody><tr><td colspan=''3''>??? ? Level</td></tr></tbody></table>


    Well Damn that doesn''t help at all. I scratch my chin for a moment before trying to go over in my head beasts that look like that.


    Zombies? .....


    No change happens to the Blue Box so that''s not it.


    Okay calm down and think it through, white skin, sunken flesh, obviously enjoy''s human flesh to the point of not paying attention to its surrounds. While these descriptors float through my mind a picture floats to the forefront of my mind  of a beast in the exact same position over a corpse, which makes something compel me to whisper almost automatically.


    "Ghoul, Flesh Demon Variant."


    I quickly feel a suction feeling on my head before it goes away just as quickly and the Blue Box update.


    <table><tbody><tr><td colspan=''3''>Flesh Demon Ghoul Level 4-8</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''3''>2% of analysis completed</td></tr></tbody></table>


    <table><tbody><tr><td colspan=''3''>Flesh Demon Ghoul Level 4-8</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''3''>2% of analysis completed</td></tr></tbody></table>


    New information, even level ranges pop up now are available to me. The 2%  analysis on the second half clue''s me on what going on almost immediately but I don''t need to go into it yet, its time to clean these Ghouls out.


    I reach over and put my hand on her Leg and start 5 count almost immediately.


    5.


    4.


    3.


    2.


    1.


    And on the one count I immediately rush around the side of the couch in mad dash, using the hand not holding the paper trimmer blade to balance myself as I almost trip.


    The Dumb Ghouls are about as slow to react as I expected them to be since food is readily available. They are almost to their feet when I hear the first ring of Sheila''s pistol firing to which I see the body of the left most Ghoul Jerk as the force of the short throws in forwards over its meal.


    <table><tbody><tr><td colspan=''3''>-30</td></tr></tbody></table>


    My target on the right is only more confused as it reaches is full height of 5 foot 9 inches, seeing its partner be sent flying. Its Neck was almost to easy a target but I don''t let the opportunity get by me.


    My swing in clumsy since I''m not used to the weight yet but it doesn''t matter because the blade is sharp enough to sever the Ghouls head. The blade bites deep and stops almost 3/4''s through its neck before stopping, making me grit my teeth, turn and drag the blade forcefully across whats left.


    The Severed Skull spins off from my action, the wet plop sounds out in the room as it hits the carpeted floor with its foul blood draining out of it.


    <table><tbody><tr><td colspan=''3''>-50 Critical Hit! Fatal Blow!</td></tr></tbody></table>


    The sound of the second gunshot  in the room draws my attention to Sheila''s efforts to see that she had made her way over the couch and Put another bullet in the back of the ghouls head, ending its life with ease.


    <table><tbody><tr><td colspan=''3''>-80 Critical Hit! Fatal Blow!</td></tr></tbody></table>


    Damn That Damage! Yeah we need more bullets, no way in hell am I going to let this gun run out on my watch!


    Ding!


    <table><tbody><tr><td colspan=''3''>Level up!</td></tr></tbody></table>


    I''m satisfied with one more level up for now but since the threat is over I need to confirm something real quick. I stare at the dead Ghoul''s body for a moment before the familiar blue box of information pops back up.

    Yup it seem''s I was right, a bit of pride swells in my heart before the foul blood of the Ghouls kinda ruins it for me. Damn it smell nasty.


    "I leveled up 7 times !"


    Sheila''s squeals  at the thought of leveling  just makes me chuckle, I turn my in her direction to see her face light up as she mumbles status and is going over it again.


    "Be careful with your stat points, we only get 5 points a level. We don''t know if there are any other way''s to raise our stats yet."


    Her hand movement still before she smiles back at me and replies,


    "Don''t worry about me, did you already forget who got you into RPG''s anyway? Your sisters and I almost had to drag you away from fighting games and brawlers to get you to try RPG''s , maybe I should be worried about you spending your points wrongly."


    Ah yes I remember those hellish days


    Sigh


    When I was little I was a bit weird because nothing existed to me besides wrestling on TV, side scrolling brawlers and fighting games. All other forms of entertainment just didn''t matter.


    It really didn''t come to a head until The Lord of The Rings movies came out and I didn''t want to watch them with Sheila and my sisters. It was the final nail in the coffin to them and What came next was a Hell month of me being drowned in Science Fiction and Fantasy media.


    They even bothered to quiz me  on everything I was made to read, play or watched. God it was awful.


    At least Sheila was a bit softer on me compared on my pair of slave driver sisters. Though I always kinda attributed her softness to me with her just not living with us.


    To be completely honest I kept up on the latest fantasy and sci-fi movies and novels to keep my sisters off my back and to avoid giving them any reason to do another hell month.


    Even now I will almost on reflex buy a new fantasy novel to read when I hear my sisters are coming to visit.


    Those girls are damn near fanatical about the stuff really.


    "Since it seems this system is like its based around a Dungeons and Dragons type stat system. Since its like that we can guesstimate what each stat does."


    Sheila takes a deep breath to steady herself since she knew I was a captive audience.


    "One. Strength is basically how much force you can exert. Most likely used for Melee damage. Two. Dexterity is most likely your basic speed and your hand eye coordination. Most likely used for Ranged weapons, not sure if it ads to ranged damage. Three. Constitution should be your stamina, poison and disease resistance. Four. Intelligence probably governs mana capacity and helps your cognitive functions. Five. Wisdom could be for either better mana regeneration or makes your magic more potent. Also If its completely like Dungeons and Dragons It should govern your 5 senses also. Six. Charisma is most likely leadership type skills and conversation stuff. I never used Charisma based characters so I never bothered to read up on it. Does everything sound right to you William? "


    Damn she reasoned all that pretty damn quickly and it all sounds pretty damn believable, we might have to experiment to see exactly what the stats do later.


    "Also William Keep everything above 10 just in case there are some negative modifiers If you have single digit stats. In the mean time I''m going to go With a Dex/Int/Wis build since I need to be able to keep up with you  and handle my gun well, also since you can''t use magic, I''m going to build myself to be able to use magic pretty well If we ever figure out how to get magic skills."


    And once again she surprises me with her thinking everything through so fast. She isn''t wrong though since I was going to go for a Lightning Bruiser build anyway so her being a ranged gunner with magic to support me doesn''t sound to bad at all.


    I mumble status to open my menu up and dump my points from my 5 levels into Str/Dex/Con, 12pts/8pts/5pts respectively. I''ll put some points in my other stats when I get more points but at the moment I don''t have the luxury of wasting points until I''m strong enough to better protect myself from these monsters.


    Which by the way, how much damage does my fist and my blade do anyway?


    "Equipment."


    <table><tbody><tr><td colspan=''4''>Equipment</td></tr><tr><td>Head</td><td>None</td><td>Ring 1</td><td>None</td></tr><tr><td>Chest</td><td>Ordinary Shirt</td><td>Ring 2</td><td>None</td></tr><tr><td>Legs</td><td>Ordinary Jeans</td><td>Ring 3</td><td>None</td></tr><tr><td>Right Hand</td><td>Paper Trimmer Blade</td><td>Ring 4</td><td>None</td></tr><tr><td>Left Hand</td><td>Unarmed</td><td>Necklace / Amulet</td><td>None</td></tr><tr><td>Feet</td><td>Tennis Shoes</td><td>Coat / Cape</td><td>None</td></tr></tbody></table>


    Well this seems to be a pretty normal equipment list. Not alot of slots but it''s still enough for most rpg''s I''ve played in the past.


    I poke my finger out at my right hand slot and another screen pops up


    <table><tbody><tr><td colspan=''3''>Paper Trimmer Blade</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''3''>Old but well Maintained paper trimmer blade


    Damage: 17-25


    Durability: 35/40</td></tr></tbody></table>


    It seems the blade is aint half bad, though I''m not sure how long durability will last and how to maintain it. Maybe It increases when i sharpen it?


    "Hey we can pull up an equipment list. It seem''s kinda basic overall but still useful to check damage of weapons."


    She looks up for a moment before smiling, nodding and letting her vision go back to what ever she was doing,


    I put that aside for a moment before I click on the box for my left hand


    <table><tbody><tr><td colspan=''3''>Unarmed</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''3''>These Hands have been blessed with the Symbol of the King of Hearts


    Damage:  23 - 33


    Durability: N/A</td></tr></tbody></table>


    Wow!


    My fist cab do up to 33 damage by itself?!


    And They are Blessed by The King of Hearts title? Oh yes this is very good. I want to kiss my mother for getting me do to Karate as kid. I may not have fought enough for it to have been useful in the old world but now It could just be the skill to save my life.


    A dry laugh escapes me before it devolves into full on laughter, loud enough to drag Sheila out of whatever she was doing and watch me as I continued for a few minutes before stopping slowly, catching my breathe from the laughter that came excitedly out of me.


    As I  regain my composure I see Sheila looking at me with a bemused look on her face,


    "Since your laughter party is over Mr. Happy pants, Can we sit down and plan out what to do now ok? We are still in a Red Dome if you look out the window William and We have no way of knowing how to get out the damn thing. We don''t know what is outside the door either. I only have 18 bullets left for the pistol so getting to my car needs to be a priority."


    Well that killed my happy buzz, I sigh and sit down  at one the round tables in the room, signaling for her to sit down in front of me and we talk out our plans for almost an hour. They were pretty productive overall and we laid out our goals as such:


    1. Use the double exp week we both got to its fullest and clear out this whole floor of beasts to keep our home base safe.


    2. Get to Sheila''s car parked in the teachers parking pad in the back of the school to retrieve the all 250 rounds of ammunition she has in her car so we don''t have to worry about running out anytime soon.


    3. Figure out how to get skills.


    4. Secure food from the Senior cafeteria in this building before we run out of food in the teachers lounge. Fortify this position and make sure It is safe and comfortable to live in for however long we are going to be here.


    After we figure out our goals and plans we start cleaning up the lounge under the cascading red light of the dome. All the trash is emptied out of the window and it is then we notice that we can''t see below us because their is some type of  fob barrier is separating the floors of the school from view but the trash falls through them so we figure that the Council of Worlds are just dicks to block off our view of the ground floor inside the dome as we should have been able to see the teachers parking pad from the window.


    We put it behind us as we  begin to haul the ghoul bodies and the remains of hangover teacher. He was super unlucky for monsters to have spawned in this room. We give him a few quick prayers before  sliding his remains out the window.


    It takes about 2 more hours for Us to clean the room up and cut out the blood soiled carpet spot where the bodies were for awhile. We fold up the round tables except for one for ourselves. We even took the cushions out of the couch and the love-seats to make a makeshift bed using two cloth table clothes to cover them.


    We even go Around to checking the food we had in the fridge, which along with the lights above us still had power, and We figure out that if we ration the lunches the teachers brought we had enough food for atleast 3 days and with the snack and soda machine we should be good for atleast a week but we had to get to the cafeteria before the power ran out or was cut so that we can get to all the meat in there.


    Not many other useful things were found besides more scissors and tape. I did happen to find a sewing kit that must have been put there by the art teacher. I set it aside for the moment since we have no need for it yet but I almost guarantee our clothes are going to need it.


    I sigh again thinking of my mother and the random ass life skill she taught me so I would be self sufficient When I moved out of the house. Seems Like sewing was going to be way more useful now than I could have believed.


    We sit down for a meal of chips and half a foot long turkey and ham sub from the fridge along with someone''s Apple Juice. We eat it all greedily before I pull out my phone and see if it still works, to find it working and flashing the time, 2:45.

 Chapter 4: There are some things Worst than Death.

    There are some things Worst than Death.


    We both decide among ourselves that it is better for me to go out and start scouting what is out in the hallway sense I have the highest amount of stamina out of the two of us since we are both around the same speed overall. It also helped that I can try to kill a few enemies to flood information into my Bestiary Skill for us to catalog information for our later use. We even spent almost an hour establishing a small knocking code so we would know who was at the door, we need to protect ourselves from other people with this EXP bonus from killing humans still going on.


    Sneaking out turned out to be pitifully easy, no monsters near our door at all. I can see some of those corpse munching Ghouls near the other end of the hallway and I can hear them from around the corner of hallway in front of me but that wasn''t my first concern at all.  My first concern was seeing a misty grey wall all the way at the end of the hallway that used to be where the sky-walkway to connect the old wing of the school to the new wing of the school was. I could see the faint outline of what could be white tendrils extending out of it, wriggling about haplessly and harmlessly to the point that I didn''t know what to do other than close the Teachers Lounge door and try to ignore it for now sense I have atleast 4 hallways to survey and a whole hell of alot classrooms to peek at for information.


    I already can tell that I''m noticeably faster as I dart to the other side of the hallway and put my back to it in almost an instant. The increase is almost reassuring until I remember that if I''m this strong at such a low level, how horrifyingly strong are the higher level monsters going to be. The though brings a shiver down my spine that I quickly suppress before I lean out around the corner of the cold concrete school walls . I eye 7 ghouls quickly before I see another grey fog  wall over where the stairs connecting all the floors are, It seems like we are completely separated from other parts of the school with these fog walls and the fog we saw outside the window earlier that separated the floors of this building.


    I deep sigh escapes my chest as I increase my grip on my blade before I step out into the hallway, drawing the attention of 2 ghouls half a classroom away from me comping on a already unrecognizable corpse of a student. They are as slow as the ones in the teacher''s lounge were, if not slower so it was almost no problem for me to get the opening hit as they tried to get to their standing position.


    <table><tbody><tr><td>-60 Critical Hit


    Fatal Blow</td></tr></tbody></table>


    My blade swung true, decapitating on of them with ease before it was halfway up. It''s friend tries to lunge at me but I back-step into the lockers to open up space between us before snapping a kick to the head of the hunched Ghoul.


    <table><tbody><tr><td>-30</td></tr></tbody></table>


    The impact of my foot hitting it''s skull snaps it head up, disrupting it''s forward momentum and sending it stumbling backwards, flailing wildly and uncoordinated. I almost grin at it''s unprotected flailing before I lean forward and dash, closing the space between us quickly and my blade bites through it''s neck as easily as the other one, sending its head spinning wildly in the air into to lockers.


    <table><tbody><tr><td>-60 Critical Hit


    Fatal Blow</td></tr></tbody></table>


    I take a few steps back and take in my surroundings as the Ghouls body falls limply to the ground, The other 5 Ghouls in the hallway seemed to take note of the fight and started to waddle walk over to my position, growling and snarling at me as they come. They are set on my death but I''m confident in my strength and speed and with this wide hallway there is no way they can touch me. I let them converge almost 10 feet away from me near an open classroom door before I let loose a burst of speed and dash towards the leading Ghoul.


    ......


    ....


    ...


    It only takes 10 minutes to mop up the 5 Ghouls in the hallway. It was a bit of a challenge to maneuver around some of the bodies in the hallways but all in all died easily with one swing to their necks. I take a few minutes to calm myself down and catch my breath  before I start checking classrooms in the hallway as quiet as possible since I don''t what might be lurking in those open rooms.


    I scrounge around  in a few of the classrooms for anything useful but its mostly just blood and bodies, I even see some hoof prints in some of the floors leading out into the hallway like something large and heavy just stamped around the rooms, tearing people apart before running out somewhere down the hallway. I can only count to me and Sheila''s  luck as I realize we avoided something huge breaking apart our safe haven before we could even figure out what the hell was going on. I put my hands together briefly in the middle of the hallway and pray briefly for the souls of my dead fellow students.


    In the middle of me praying I hear a the sound of grunting and panting along side a sound I immediately recognize, The sound of Goblins. My body still in panic for only a moment before I flattened myself to a wall and listened for a few more moments as I figure out that the sounds are coming from a classroom about 3 down from the fog wall at the stairway. I work my way slowly down towards it, checking into the classrooms as I pass them only to see them empty of anything living.


    I get to the classroom only to see the narrow window on the door  smeared with blood so I bypass that door and nimbly walk myself  to the other door to the classroom as quietly as possible. The smell of sweat and the grunting noises are almost overwhelming as I get to the door and peer inside the room, I can barely see a Goblin grunting and ramming himself at something but It''s to far out of range of vision to make out exactly what was happening so I creep slowly into the open room.


    And what I see as I take in the full scope of the room, freezes my body in place and a haze clouds my mind. Their were 11 Goblins in the room just grunting and raping female students around the room.


    Bile rises up my throat to express it''s revulsion and disgust but I fight it down as my mind barely process all of what I witness in front of me. Only a growing anger starts to eat at my mind, gnawing and growing at every glassy eyed girl I see, their life seem to be long gone and the only respite I can think of is I hoped they died quickly and didn''t suffer. These thoughts churn and churn in my head until a whimper, a human cry reaches my ears.


    My eyes widen as I stare at a pile of 4 goblins writhing on something and I recognize a human arm sticking out of the pile in the corner of the room. My pulse races and the bile wins out as it roars out of my throat, burning its way out onto the floor as rage burns it''s way into my heart only to be tempered with a deep and profound sadness hitting my heart right after it. The Goblins don''t even notice me at the door throwing up because they are so caught up in their orgy of crushed hopes and shattered dreams.


    Again it hits me how lucky me and Sheila have been and how cold I''ve been about death today, The death of my classmates, killing monsters with my bare hands, did the system change me or was I always this cold to people, this cavalier attitude to violence. I can only chuckle at myself in haze of madness  and anger as the bile stops as there is nothing left to leave my stomach.


    I walk into the room and quietly close the door behind me, locking the door as I start laughing softly to myself  and I advance in a haze to the closest Goblin with my blade raised high. The whimpering and crying of the girl in the corner only fuel my madness and anger, I can''t control myself as My blade slices deep  into the beast, cutting down through it''s shoulder blade, chest plate, ribs, spine, only for my blade to get stuck halfway into its pelvic bone.


    <table><tbody><tr><td>-45 Critical Hit


    Fatal Blow</td></tr></tbody></table>


    It screams out in pain as it''s life quickly sprays out of it and it was only then do the Goblins scramble from their despicable task to see their friends blood spray into the air and onto me as I jerk it''s body a few times before my blade comes free of its bone


    "Guggugugugugug Gua!"


    They cry out at me as if they are angry for what I did to their friend as they fumble to pick up their weapons from the floor around them in a panic. I breath deep before I spin and toss my blade at another Goblin at the other side of the room. It panic for only moment  before my blade comes spinning towards it and embeds itself into it''s stomach, crumpling it onto itself as it collapses onto the ground.


    "9 goblins left."


    A calm washes over me as I see some the Goblins run to me in a somewhat staggered charge. So unorganized they are, stumbling over bodies, woman and desks on the floor. I take a deep breath as I dip into an old karate kata stance and set my arms  as the first goblin rushes into my range armed with his blade.


    The lead Goblin steps forward into my range and thrusts it''s blade toward my chest with confidence but I step diagonal towards it and knock its blade arm wild with my forearm. The blade spinning free opens its body as I pivot and drill my fist into its face, lifting it up off its feet as its face breaks on my fist and its light body goes flying like a broken kite backwards before smashing  into about 5 goblins sending them sprawling all over the floor.


    I waste not one moment and dash towards the 1 of the 4 remain goblins but with their poorly made spears zone me out  as the 4 of them thrust at me also in sequence, making me halt my advance and start to bat them away and step backwards a few steps before they catch me with one spear across my shoulder, taking a piece of my shirt and flesh with it. I bite back a scream of pain as I grasp onto the spear before it can pull back and yank it hard, causing it to stumbled forward abruptly. I almost laugh as the spears of it''s brothers pierce it''s side as it stumbles into their path, it''s cries of pain almost calming my fury before I put it out of it''s misery with it''s own spear, impaling it  through the chest quickly and kicking it''s body off it in one smooth move.


    The Caracas flies into pile of Goblins getting to their feet, knocking them down as bowling pins as the standing 3 keep pressure on me, advancing and stabbing  wildly to get at me in their anger but with my new spear they can''t reach me.  We trade spear jabs back and forth between us for a few seconds before I dash into the fray and slam the spear through  the head of one the Goblins, shattering the handle from the force of the thrust.


    The Goblins flinch as their friend dies and the fear becomes real in their eye''s once again and they try to create space between us to keep with their spear work but my dash is to fast for them to get back, my hands snap out and grab them both by their throats and haul them off their feet into the air.

    I see 5 other Goblins watch me with hesitation as they get into a makeshift formation arm to arm with spears and short swords in their hands. I can feel the briefest of satisfied smiles spread over my face before I quickly kill it as I choke the life out of the two flailing Goblins I''m holding up in the air, it takes minutes before their fight dies out of them as their life fade out of them and I enjoy every moment of it.


    And as last flicker of life drains from them I clench my hands tightly, crushing their brittle spine under my hands to a pulp before letting them fall lifelessly to the floor with a thud. The Goblins didn''t even try to fight for them, staring at me like deer caught in the eye''s of a predator on Animal Planet. Yes that is what I feel like right now, a predator savoring it''s hunt. The realization makes me grin a toothy grin before I slowly lean over to pick up the 2 fallen spears as I keep an eye on them.


    As I step harshly and confidently towards the 5 remaining Goblins they flinch out of their stupor and step back in fear. It continues step for step for almost 10 step till I tire of their fear that I kick a chair towards them from the floor, sending it spinning low above the ground toward the Goblins, allowing to follow up behind it with both spears held at the ready.


    They barely see it coming, the chair  cracking one of them across the legs and knocking it down and right after two of them impaled through the chest by my spears,


    "Grah!"


    I let out an almost feral growl as I let go spear and step down on the head of the fallen Goblin, splattering it''s head beneath my foot, it''s warm blood gushing up my leg as I pivot on whatever is left of skull and spin the back of my fist into the face the closest Goblin causing a sickening crack to ring out and It falls to the ground  harshly with it''s neck hanging at a weird angle, leaving only one Goblin left in the room.


    I savor it''s pain as it tries to run to the door only to get a chair to it''s back and both of it''s legs broken by my hands before I drag it over to the only living girl I eye, the one who has been whimpering and crying since I''ve got into this room. I throw the Goblin close to her before breaking both it''s arms, hoping she savors it''s screams of pain to soothe her pain. I look her over more closely as I break bone by bone of the Goblin, I see her legs bent at terrible angles and that bloody bite marks litter her body all over. I only break the beast faster as it''s cries ring out in the room to ease both of us before It Finally break it''s neck, silencing the Goblin once and fore all.


    With it''s filthy death the last Goblin dies and the room becomes silent expect for the sound of my breathing. I stare at the girl for a few moments before lean over and pull her slowly to me, putting her head to my chest and stroking her hair,


    "They are all dead. There is nothing alive here but me and you."


    My voice is low and a bit tired from the fight but I try to sound reassuring to her, She has been through enough and from the amount of blood I see now on the ground were she was, she might not have much longer to live. I look around the room quickly, looking for anything to fix her legs and stop the bleeding before I hear her voice, its scratchy and smokey but filled with nothing up sadness and resignation.


    "Kill me please. I can feel something growing inside me."


    The words still my movements and the desolation of those words crack my heart and I can feel the waterworks beginning as hot tears pour down my face. I don''t know how to respond, Something is growing inside her?


    My hand slides over her bare stomach and I feel a harsh pulse as if angered by me being near it and it cause''s me to flinch back in surprise,


    "The other''s killed themselves when they started to feel the pulses also. I don''t want to have an abomination climb out of me, Kill Me Please!"


    The pleading in her voice compels me and my hands slowly wrap themselves around her neck, tightening enough for her to know that I intend to follow through with her request. I almost can''t see her now through the tears, why did this have to happen. The girl didn''t look anyway older than 14. A freshman probably on this floor to see a family member  during homeroom and only 4 hours later for her to be begging for death at the hands of her senior. It is in my musing thoughts that I feel her body tremble harshly and I hear her hiccup a few times before the clear sound of her crying echoes out in the room.


    "My name is William Reeves. Are you sure you want this? Maybe we can find someway of killing it early? You don''t have to die!"


    I try to reason with her, to give her some kind of out, to give myself some kind of out this deed. My words seem to comfort her because I see a smile adorn her face and it is the most breathtakingly beautiful thing I''ve seen in my short life, and it is the most soul crushing. Before I know it I''m sobbing together with her and that is all that is heard in the room until she speaks one last time.


    "My name is Marie Camden. I wish we could have met under different circumstances."


    She laughs a weak laugh and I laugh with her and for a moment it the laughter lingers in the air before a sickening crack quiets everything down. Her neck breaks and I hold her close as I see the life fad from her eye''s, watching me with a smile on her face. How can she smile in her death like this, I don''t understand it and now I am alone in the room when I start to laugh. It''s a maniacal laughter that devolves quickly into sobbing over her cradled head. She didn''t deserve to die this way, I didn''t know her before this hell descend on us but she didn''t deserve to die this way. She deserved to die Old and Happy and it with that thought I dawns on me the sheer amount of death that must be happening right now In this school and across whatever remnants of my world.


    The realization is like ice water washing over me, stirring something in me as the tears flow and I cry myself numb holding her head to my chest. I feel something grow in my heart, I feel it change in my mind happen. This world cares nothing for us and is full of monsters that prey on misery. This Council Of Worlds, exterminating worlds for what?! A whim? For fun and games?! The anger comes back to me and it''s not hot anymore, It''s ice cold in my body and chills my soul.

    I read the title as it pops in front of me numbly before I return my gaze to Marie as she lays in my arms. I stroke her face gently before laying her back on the floor. I take my shirt off and cut it up and cover her nakedness and pray for her soul to find the happiness she didn''t get  in this world before I gather up my bookbag and blade from the corpse of a Goblin.


    Ding!


    <table><tbody><tr><td>You have Leveled Up! (x5)</td></tr></tbody></table>


    I dismiss this screen quickly, gathering the goblin short swords and blade into my book bag before leaving the classroom, locking the door knob before closing it behind me. My attention now on the hallway see''s ghouls wandering back into the area, my battle must have enough noise to attract them to this hallway. They are nothing to me but a nuisance, I need to finish what I came out here for and get back to Sheila, she needs to know that death is not the worst thing that can happen to us out here.


    I behead almost 7 of them as I make my way around and down the next hallway, finding nothing but more bodies and Ghouls with some locked doors but what seemed to be clear rooms, no Goblins either. I behead 5 more as I''m lost in that thought as I am about to round the corner to the third main hallway to see something that gets ice cold rage to coil in my body and take the all of my willpower to get not charge into it.


    There is an Orgy, male and female students being used at the Behest of the Goblins as it seems they have made a little fort in this hallway using chairs and desks as makeshift walls but I see enough. I grit my teeth before keenly looking over at the area when my eyes come to rest on two different Hobgoblins sitting on a mound of corpses watching their orgy. One is wearing a tattered colorful robe and a staff in its hands and the other one is a bit bigger than the Hobgoblin I killed earlier, It is Solid Black with Red markings all over it''s body with small horns.


    <table><tbody><tr><td>Hobgoblin Rare Level 22</td></tr></tbody></table>


    <table><tbody><tr><td>Hobgoblin Mage Level 18</td></tr></tbody></table>


    I immediately label them the leaders in my head, I want to destroy them right now but they are much to strong for me to wade  headlong into the glut of Goblins to get to them. I count as many as 35 Goblins in the little Goblin fort, we must plan this out before we strike. We have to get stronger quickly and save these students before they get killed by these monsters.


    I move quickly sprint my way back to our teachers lounge and give our secret knock to the door. It flies open almost immediately and I''m pulled into the room harshly before the door is closed and locked behind me. I barely get a chance to take my bookbag off before Sheila hugs my chest tightly. It is then I hear her sobs and I softly hug her back, careful not to irritate spear wounds on my upper chest and shoulders.


    "I''m Sorry. I''m Sorry."


    I repeat these words to her for a few seconds till she pulls herself together and before she can talk I begin to explain where I''ve been and what I''ve seen. I talk and talk and talk and Sheila listens to every word that comes from my mouth. she maneuvers us to the cushion-less couch and sits me down as I talk to her. I see some the last vestiges of innocence the Game World be stripped away from Sheila''s eyes. I think it finally hit her that this is life for us now until further notice.

 New Prologue: October 12th, 2015 The Day The World Ended

    New Prologue: October 12th, 2015 The Day The World Ended


    Williams drive to school this day was smoother than any he could remember and with the warmer than normal October day leaving him feeling good and with little worry outside of hoping to keep his grades high so that he could received some replies from the colleges he applied for. His life as of today was hardly exceptional outside of his high school wrestling and track team excellence until he had an unfortunate encounter with The local gangster in the school Bridget and her crew after they assaulted a teacher as he was leaving school after wrestling. He got in a big brawl with her and the crew and ended up breaking one of their legs before they finally retreated but they swore revenge on him, which they got not two days later after track practice as he was walking to his car he was blind sided with their car and left broken on the  on the asphalt as they laughed and drove off before anyone could catch them till almost  two days later while William was recovering in the hospital with two broken legs, a fractured shoulder and multiple broken and fractured ribs.


    There was a initial outpouring of support for him during the first week but it petered off as it became known that while most of the gang was put away, Bridget and two of her closest friends got off almost scott free with only probation and in school suspension because her grandfather turned out to be a judge in the local courts and pulled some strings to get his only grandchild out of the charges alongside her friends. This revelation was like wave of panic to Williams few friends and compounded on the fact that her mother was on the local board of education eased her back into school around general students again and almost all support for him and his plight died down.


    This embittered him alot in his solitude but one of the few bright spots of his recovery outside of his family visiting him was the close family friend and teacher at his school, Sheila Robinson. She visited him every other day and delivered him school work so he would could graduate on time and get to college. On top of that they both reminisced about old times when she and his two older sister used to tease him and drag him everywhere with them before they all went to college. In these moments with her and when his whole family came to visit him during his almost  two month long recovery. There were painful days of therapy but the doctors were astounded at his recovery speed and they were afraid of him being so zealous in his recovery he could further damage himself but William was determined to not let Bridget and her family get the last laugh at his plight, he was going to work himself back to normal and finish his senior year of high school and give her whole family the biggest ''fuck you'' during graduation, he just didn''t decide on what he would yet but he had alot of time in his hospital bed to think about it.


    But Unbeknownst to William and his plight, there was a larger threat looming in his Universe, named Lesser Universe Stardust. It was being plundered by invaders from another  Universe, Named Minor Universe 12 Tigris,  through a large tear in space and a vast war was being fought across galaxies far from his milky way galaxy with Hundreds of Millions and Trillions of sentient beings fighting and dying as the war rages to it''s conclusion as the final Push is Made by the  the Leader of the largest Clans in Stardust as they mow down their Invaders!


    The Battles were awe-inspiring and if William could have seen them he would have been amazed, ships with large quantities of alien humanoids  firing into great fleets as other Humanoids ride on smaller ships and do battle great displays of Magical techniques and martial skill with lives being lost in every moment with zeal never before seen by the human race as as the battle near it''s end their is only a handful of survivors of Universe Stardust''s protectors left and Their leader executes a forbidden technique as he laughs in his madness and throws himself into the void connecting the  universes, his body exploding and giant purple cross washes over the expanse of space on both side of the void.


    "Hahahahaha You Ignorant fools! You May have beaten Us but We will drag you down with us. We will not allow Seiryuu clan of the higher planes do whatever they want!" And with these words the last of the Defenders add their life force to the attack of their fallen friend as the purple cross explodes with more power, making the Surviving Seiryuu clan members hair to go white in fright as they try to flee in distress but it is too late as they are destroyed by the radiating power of the purple cross as it sweeps across Universe Tigris, enveloping everything in sight and destroying all that oppose its oppressive power, As the plea''s for help radiated throughout their universe, A giant White Tiger awakens from its slumber. Its massive bulk was terrifying to behold, 200 miles long and 70 miles tall, as it roars loud enough to shake the whole universe Tigris before it sets off at full speed toward the  the cries of the people,


    "Seiryuu! Even here your schemes are ruining the lives of innocents! Was it not enough to destroy my universe?! Was it not enough to Destroy my whole Clan! Not now! I may not have recovered enough to end your life but I can save these innocents from you!"


    "Oh Overgod''s of all creation, hear the last cry of your son. Give Me the power to save them!"


    And with those heartfelt plea''s for favor he accelerates into a white flash with determination in his heart to avert coming disaster.


    But on the edge of Universe Stardust, William continues his day ignorant of the world shattering events that are happening around and to his universe. Nothing more than the pleasure of reuniting with his Couch Brian asking about how his injuries are healing and warning him about Bridgets skulking around ever since she learned he made a full recovery from the hospital and was coming back to school today. He waves off the Couch''s concern as he has already learned to be alot more alert of his surroundings as to avoid being caught unaware again. They briefly catch up with some small talk before  William finally makes his way to first class just in time for the bell.


    It was almost comical to William how weird it felt to be back among other students since he accident, among the people who turned their back on him after his accident and during his recovery. He can feel some coldness creep into his heart and he has to fight it down to not let that resentment gnaw at his character. He eases his was through his first class and than through his weight lifting elective. He gets a few side-eyes  from some of the other athletes as he works on the tread mill and the bench for weightlifting, some of them carry concern he feels and others seem like they are scared of him and they ease out of his way as he walks around to different stations till class is over and they hit the stations.

    Williams idles for a bit outside the showers until most people are done before he goes in and cleans himself up cleanly and efficiently, trying to ease around his surgical scars on his chest and legs before drying off and rushing to his homeroom before the bell rings. He makes it to door just as the whole school shakes violently for a moment, throwing people in the hallway from their feet and to the floor from the unexpected jolt and he barely catches him on the door as he steadies himself against it . Just as quickly as the quake happens it disappears and everything is back to normal except for the bewildered students in the hallway.


    "What''s going on? What the hell was that? an Earthquake?"


    "How can it be an earthquake if its over so fast?"


    "How should I know?!"


    Chatter in the hallway heats up as students start to gab over the unexpected earthquake as William eases into the classroom to see it slightly dissaray from the shakes but mostly still normal as he gazes over the whole room before his eyes fall on Sheila a.k.a Ms Robinson, his homeroom teacher. He can feel himself smile for the first time today as he looks at her and his heart warms a bit as she give him a small wave and smile back before motioning for him grab his old seat by the window before turning back to the rest of her students and going through roll to make sure everyone is here today.


    Seeing Sheila at school again was a bit weird for William after spending so much time alone with her but he quickly steeled his face to not make it awkward for Sheila and to not let on to the other students of how close their relationship was now.


    Staring out the window as homeroom dragged on and the noise of other students socializing in the background became a almost soothing before a flash of Red light streaked into the window and the load roar of what sounded like a Tiger roars reverberates throughout the whole school, spider cracks from the roar appear on the windows along side the sound of some  of the windows in other room shattering all together. The sound sends a cold shiver down spines of everyone  in the school but those who were looking outside like gained another spike of fear as something that seemed like Tyrannasourus rex appeared outside the school between the Three main buildings of the school for almost a full 5 seconds before fading out like some type of mirage.


    The 5 seconds seemed like Eternity to William as he stared at the beast as his mind was trying to rationalize the sight of the beast before it disappeared and like a Jolt of lightning he jumps out of his chair in confusion and shouts out to the room,"I hope I am not the only person in here that just saw a damn T. Rex outside the window." His voice is forceful enough to get the attention of everyone one in the room and even with the turmoil outside the room they all rush to the window to see if they can catch a glimpse of what ever William saw. He turns and looks at Sheila to see she is also staring outside but the panic in fear in her eyes mirror his own and he knows she also saw the T.Rex .


    He Immediately dashes to her side and shakes her out of her fear driven stupor and is about to speak when they hear the sound of glass shattering again, a loud peal of thunder followed by the heavy downpour of rain out of nowhere. The suddenness of sounds makes most of the people in the room jump in fright and the hairs on the back of Williams next raise as a sense of dread washes over him. He shakes Sheila lightly and pulls her away from most of the other students as they begin to panic and get louder, some running from the room into the chaos that was erupting in the hallways.


    "Sheila we got to get out here. Something is dangerous is going to happen soo-" He is cut off by a sudden dizziness that comes over everyone in the school  for a few moment before it goes away and a  Blue Box appears in front of his face as the Sky turns red and the rain stops.


    <table><tbody><tr><td>Your universe''s strongest representatives have lost and now your Lesser Universe- Stardust  is to be assimilated into the remnants of Minor Universe Tigris as payment for destruction of the core of their universe.

Please sit down and await the transition.


    -Council of Worlds</td></tr></tbody></table>


    Silence echoes throughout the building as  everyone reads through the Blue box that invades their vision and William is one of the first  to finish reading as he falls to his knee''s in disbelief, his mind barely processing the what he just read before the sound of sobbing and screaming echo throughout the school building. They are only given a few seconds of reprieve before pain washes over everyone present, the pain itself radiating from the very core of their beings, William falls over on his side as he tries to fight through the pain but others aren''t as resolute as him and begin violently convulsing, some throwing up, some even clawing at their chests and stomachs as wild cries of agony escape them, all just to make the pain stop.


    One by one people pass out, Sheila being one of the first to stop her convulsing and stop moving much to Williams horror. He tries to drag himself over to her as his whole body is screaming at him in pain but he fights his way over to her  and holds himself to her as his vision starts to blur and darken and right before he passes out another Blue Box opens in front of his face.

    As William reads the latest Blue Box he feels the a weightless sensation before a harsh sucking noise radiates around him as he finally passes out to the pain.

 New Chapter 1: The Wrestler in All Of Us !

    New Chapter 1: The Wrestler in All Of Us !


    The sounds of misery and cries of pain are the first things that assaults Williams senses as he groggily comes to, slowly shifting his aching body as he tries to figure out where exactly he is and why his body hurts so much. It doesn''t take much wiggling to realize that he is buried  in the corner of the room under a pile of chairs with the Sheila''s desk haphazardly thrown up against his side. Panic sets in quickly as his breathing quickens and he tries to force himself to stand against the pressure of the chairs  on top of him but as they begin to shift he hears something beyond the ever present sound of screaming and crying that frightens him more, the sound of a low growl and what he could only describe as the sounds he used to make to emulate goblins  when His sisters, Him and Sheila played Dungeons & Dragons when they were younger but this sounded real, tangible as if it came out sounds original owner.


    The hairs on the back of his neck stands up as a distinct cold feeling as if sensing danger and in response to that his mind focuses to the new threat that is somewhere around him that he can''t see so he slowly but surely shifts himself as if to not make the pile above move to much till he can see beneath Sheila''s desk and that is when he see''s what he can only describe as his worse nightmare come to life, A Five foot 5 inch gangly, naked green goblin carrying a makeshift club from what he could only imagine is a bone of some kind that it was using to savagely beat the life of one of his classmates  as another couple begin to beat on some of the female students of his class before dragging their beaten, crying bodies out of the room through the open doorway. He is frozen in shock as he witnesses the brutality of it all and thats when he realizes most of the screams he is hearing is coming from down outside of his classroom, William looks for more students from his low vantage point and see''s a few of them cowering under similar piles that he himself was under, some of them even meeting his eyes before moving their eyes away from his and curling in upon themselves as If to hide further or play dead for the Goblins to over look them.


    He almost follows their lead before He see''s a another being walk into the room, bigger and fitter than the slender and wiry Goblins, almost looking like the average build of a highschooler except it was an almost scarlet red. This one even wore what seemed to be a shorts to cover itself as it strut into the room over to one of hiding spots of the scared student before stomping down with all it''s might, pressing the pile down on the poor child, causing it cry out in pain. It lets out a sickeningly raspy laugh as it swift gets down and pulls the injured Boy from the Pile and stare him in the eyes as if to take pleasure out of the panic and pain from the boy before opens it''s mouth and bites into his neck ferociously, blood erupting into its mouth to which is savors it almost like a it was a good beer. William watches silently as this all happens, his eyes meeting the boy''s eyes as the student tries to reach out to William as if to plead for help but to much blood is gone and he is going limp right before the Red  One rips his mouth from his throat  and swallows quickly before biting the other side of his neck, pulling the head off from the spine with a sickening crap and pop before throwing the body to the floor and keeping the neck in his mouth to chew on as he lets the head just hang with one had lazily  cradling it as he chews leisurely.


    Rage runs hot through Williams veins at the horrific spectacle he has witnessed, making him jump to his feet out of sheer indignation but  he  immediately regrets is action as he can now feel 8 pair of hostile eyes on him, 3 Goblins from what he could tell and the 6 foot tall Red one that seemed to show rage and distaste as it looks at him, still chewing on the neck and neck bone of the student.


    His mind races as he locks eyes with the Red Demon, the bastard has the audacity to smirk at him before yelling out in some type of unintelligible language but one that does distinctly sound like old stock Goblin sounds from D&D and fantasy movies he used to watch.  The Red Demon points to various other piles around him before yelling again and throwing the severed head to the ground and crushing it beneath its bare foot as a show of Bravado as he walked confidently walked over towards him with nothing but violence on its mind.


    Williams head whips around frantically searching for anything to help him but to his internal dismay their was nothing usable, nothing but a tangled mess of chairs, desks,backpacks and paper.


    His pulse skyrockets with each step the 6 foot tall Red Demon steps towards him and it only increase his manic look for a weapon before a chill rolls down his back as hears and then see''s his teacher, Sheila, coming out of her unconscious state almost directly next to him. She murmurs almost silently a few times before her eyes open up to see William standing above her  and to his right a Red Demon approaching  as If it owned the world.


    The fear William see''s in her eyes in that moment, fear for herself,  fear for him, fear for her students warms him inside before he smiles down to her as a form of comfort before he lets out a deep breath  and walks forward to meet the beast, making sure he doesn''t come anywhere near her. As he walks  farther from her he can hear a wimpier from her that only cause him to steel himself further.


    The two walk towards each other in lock step, each step moving directly towards the other and their eyes locked on each other as they wish death on the recipient of the stare. The Red Demon mocks with its eyes as they stop 3 feet one another before giving a curious stare as Williams reaches up and slowly unbuttons his shirt, using it to stall as he thinks up his plan of attack but the time is short and before  a few seconds are up the shirt is already unbuttoned  and William throws it off himself to the ground. He  see''s the Red Demons eye''s follow his shirt to the ground and he uses that opportunity to drop into a tradition wrestling stance and  shoot forwards in a dash to scoop up the demon legs, lifting the confused being before turning and slamming it  down onto the tiled floor underneath them.

    The floor cracks under the force of the Red Demons body and all of a sudden a red bar appears above its head and a noticeable lump of it empties out. William barely takes note of this as he scrambled across the Red Demon''s body before straddling it''s chest  before raining down punches to it''s dazed, ugly face before it could re focus.


    "Gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu!" The Red Demon  each shout is punctuated by a punch to the head by William, not giving it anytime to refocus  as it''s red bar ticks down  under the hail of fists before it finally gets a wild hay-maker to Williams chest, knocking him off itself and stopping the punching Rhythm he had built up.


    Williams chest is burning in pain as he slides along the floor from the force of the punch  but not before getting solid kick to the ribs of the Demon, sliding it away from him before they both scramble to their feet . The demon is slightly faster and his smashes his fist into the still recovering  William, sending him rocking backwards into the teachers desk .


    As Williams vision refocuses he see''s a red foot racing straight for his head at a high speed that he barely was able angle his head away from it as it sails over his shoulder into empty air leaving its leg at an awkward angle  as it  was 6 inches shorter than William. A Sinister smile flashes across Williams face right before he   makes a hammer fist with both hands above the Red Leg and slams down with all his strength on the over extended knee of the Demon, causing it''s leg  to bend in on itself under the force and sending the Red Demon into a frantic reaction to the pain that seemed to wake up the Goblins up from their stupor as they watched the fight but it was too late for them to intervene as William forcefully spins the Red demons bad leg to make it show its back  to him  while moving so both backs touch one another.  He swiftly links his  fists  under the chin  of the Red demon  and stretches its neck  over his shoulder before he drops to the floor  with all his weight, causing the a loud cracking sound to echo out  as the Red Demon neck snaps from the impact to his shoulder.


    The thrill of victory surges through William but it is short lived because only a moment before  he see''s a flash of metal   dart to his skull from one of the Goblins that finally made it over to him from his spear. He moves the Red Demons Head toward it as he leans forward.


    The Goblins face twists into one of disbelief but it''s too late  as the spear pierces through the Red Demon''s skulls and only scrapes the skin from the back of Williams neck who moans out in pain as the air hits the new wound and from the smell of the foul blood of the Red Demon. Its all but a momentary distraction for him before he punches the groin of the Goblin next to, making it drop its spear and drop to the floor in pain which allowed him to scramble to his feet and reposition himself against the 3 Goblin left in the room whose focus is now on him from killing their apparent leader.


    This is when he see students crawling out of the room from under their piles, all of them keeping their eyes on him and his fight but none of them coming to his aid . It causes a small hint of sadness to hit his heart but he has no time to dwell on that feeling as the second Goblin rushes forward over its comrade with its own spear in front of it thrusting to Williams chest only to hit air as William  Drops on his Side out of the way and punches this Goblin in the genitals also. The force of the blow buckles the Goblin, making it lean over forward and leaving it head exposed to William Rises up and Headbutts it full force, sending it flying in the hair with blood gushing from its face before limply crashing into a pile of desks.


    The spear it dropped is quickly picked up and  swiftly stabbed into the still groaning Goblin on the ground  before Williams attention is brought to the last Goblin who is shaking from fear as it watched  him kill all its comrades. Williams body is filled with adrenaline fueled blood lust for the Goblin that he just can''t stop and before he knows it , he has leaped on the skinny Goblin''s back before it realizes whats going on and he locks in a rear naked choke on it causing the both of them to careen into the floor where he  stretches himself out and Slowly the fight drains out the Goblin as its throat is squeezed shut before it blacks out. William  yanks hard in the hold a few times to make sure the beast is out  before he twists its neck hard, sending out a sickening cracking sound as its head falls in an odd angle.


    It takes a few moments before the adrenaline high breaks and his body starts shaking and he throws the corpse of the last goblin away from him  as he gasps for air to try to calm himself down and as he does he begins to question what the hell was going on:


    ''What the fuck is going on?''


    ''Why are D&D monsters here?''


    ''Some type of war happened? what war?''


    ''Why the Fuck does their blood smell like shit!''


    As these questions flow through his mind while he looks up at the ceiling tiles for a single minute before a chime sounds in his mind right before another blue box appears in front of him.


    DING!


    <table><tbody><tr><td>Special kills Accumulated


    Processing .....


    Rewards Pending ........</td></tr></tbody></table>


    He reads through the box and all he could think that it sounded like some type of game.  Meanwhile  Sheila finally digs her way out from under the stack of chairs and desks to see William on the ground, she panic and runs over to him to see if he was okay but as she got next to him she can see nothing wrong with him and  lets out a huff of relief before squatting next to him with her head wresting on her hands before she spoke to him with a smile on her face.


    "William.  What the hell is going on?"

 New Chapter 2 : So Am I Leomon?

    New Chapter 2 : So Am I Leomon?


    It took almost 10 minutes for the Blue Box to finish its processing and in that time William and Sheila got to work locking the doors before sliding down into a corner of the room as they both heard the sounds of fighting and the sound of people screaming erupted on this floor so it seemed that there were more Goblins around.


    William quietly ignored Sheila''s previous question along with her gaze as he waited for the processing to stop because he did not have much more information than her at this moment and He figured that new things would be revealed as soon as the Box finished processing.


    Just as he was pondering this while holding Sheila he felt a small chill down his spine before the Blue Box finished processing and words began appearing in front of his face in a rapid manner in a script he couldn''t read at all.


    All he could do was try to read the rapidly advancing text to make some sense of what was being shown to him before, to his surprise, the Blue Box bursts into pieces as a bright light envelops the whole room blinding both him and Sheila before time seemed to slow to a crawl for every Beast and Human under the Restriction Dome.


    As the white light blinded everyone in the room and anyone passing by, a silvery gash split the air only 2 feet above Williams head to reveal a golden orb revealed itself and spun in what could only be said to be happily.


    A jovial voice both deep and profound echoed out from the the golden orb as it spun in the air faster and faster before landing on top of Williams head,"Hahahahahahah Who would have known that in my search was not baseless, A being of my bloodline existed on this world and survived the calamity that befell this world! The Heavens do smile upon me that I am able to pass on My families Legacy before My soul dissipates!"


    The Golden Jewel spun faster and faster on top of Williams head but neither could he feel what was happening nor could he or Sheila hear the voice that came from the Jewel at all!


    The spinning continued and miraculously the Golden Jewel actually opened its Golden outer layer like a lotus blossom as its milky white innards poured out into Williams head, sinking deep into his very being and fusing into body and consciousness.


    The Milky white innards flowed continually into William until there was nothing left inside it and the Golden Lotus leaves closed itself back up and the once jovial voice sounded out again but this time it sounded tired and worn,


    " Who could have known that in my death I could find a family member! I have left to him all the knowledge of our clan so we will not disappear. This youngster has inherited a great burden from me and I can only hope the heavens smile upon him much more than they did me......." The voice faded slowly as the Golden Jewel began to break and crack before bursting  into Golden dust as the last words came from it, all of which was tinged with endless sadness.


    The Golden flakes gently flowed downward, covering Sheila and William with itself causing the both of them to shiver before the flakes sank into their skin. As the Golden flakes sank into the skin of the two of them it melted into a golden Ki that washed through both of their bodies, gently seeping into the deepest parts of their bodies while marking impurities and imperfections in their bodies before power explodes out from the Ki.


    The power of the Golden Ki Explosion rushes through their whole being once again and this time it forces the impurities from Sheila and William, causing a black foul mist to erupt from their pores and their bones to crack a bit to release the impurities held within them before the Golden Ki''s power healed the cracks and break it created while also removing all the imperfections it found in each of their bodies.


    As the last of the Golden Ki finished its job the light abruptly recedes and time returns to normal, William and Sheila blink rapidly as they try to regain the sight they lost from explosion of light earlier but as the two of them rub their eyes they begin to realize their bodies feel remarkably different than they did a moment ago.


    William feels better than he had in his whole life, as if His injuries from the accident had never happened! He begins to stand up to realize he grew two inches to an impressive 6 foot 7 inches and his muscles feel like a strung bow, taunt and powerful.


    "William what in the hell just happened?!" Sheila''s voiced her surprise as she herself stands up to realize she grew almost 4 inches to 5 feet 11 inches. She runs her hands over her face to try and calm herself and feels that her skin has changed! Tough, sensitive, smooth, and unblemished !  She finishes around in her pocket for a moment before taking out her phone and opening the app to take a photo so she can see herself and see''s the changes to which she can barely believe but before she can ask another question or before William can try to answer, The blue box returns and pops up in front of the both of them.

    Sheila''s face shows her confusion as she reads her short list on the Blue screen in front of her but it takes William a few moments more to fully digest what he was reading and as soon as the both of them were done the Blue Boxes disappear from their sight in the blink of an eye.


    As soon as they are gone a tremor runs through Williams body and he can feel that his whole body has fundamentally changed and in his head their now resided a fierce presence that was never their before. He tried to concentrate on it for a moment and he felt himself get sucked inside something only to find himself in a grey barren wasteland that extended as far as the eye could see in every direction except for one Stone Tablet that Sat Directly in front of him. He was cautious to get closer to it because it could tell the Fierce energy he had felt before was wafting from this Stone Tablet but sense he had no Idea of how to get out of this place he could only walk closer to try and read it.


    As William stood in front of the Stone Tablet he realized that it wasn''t a Stone Tablet at all, It was a Massive Stone Book. On the front of the book There was nothing but weird symbols that William could not make out at all, the only thing he could understand was the side profile of a White Tiger Pouncing. The Image was so vivid and life-like William felt compelled to reach out and touch the beast out of a feeling of longing that had burst out from his very being.


    When Williams hand touched the book the grey sky immediately turned black and thunder rolled fiercely in the sky above him, scaring him and making him try to take his hand off the book but to his horror he found out he could not retract his hand. The whole place started to shake and the book began to emit the sound of a tigers roar, low at first before quickly ramping up into  ear splitting roar that reverberated through the whole of the barren landscape and through Williams body, causing the poor boy to begin to spit up blood. His vision began to swim as he was subjected to the full force of the roar as well as his legs finally giving out from underneath of him. Right as he began to black out the roar abruptly stopped and the whole of his Barren Landscape stopped shaking but the Thunder in the Sky remained. Under the sound of rolling thunder a sad voice rolled out from the book


    "Your Blood has been verified! You, Of Pure Blood, have been selected to be the Successor of the Bai-Hu Clan. The Teachings of the Undefeated of the East fall down to you Successor! The Martial arts and Ki techniques have always been our most sacred and most well kept treasures and You must treat each of them as such. This Senior was not able to restore our Clan to the heights it once enjoyed, but I hope you can atleast grow strong enough to allow what happened to us befall you also. I don''t have much left of this old soul but what is left This Senior will bestow on you, use it to get stronger so that injustices like this can never befall you and yours again, All this Senior asks of his Junior is to learn our Martial arts and Techniques so that they may not die off with this fool of a Senior............ "


    A pause happens and a sigh escapes the voice that sounded so old and defeated that it broke Williams heart to hear it come the Stone Book. What pain had this being gone through to only die and now choose Him as his successor to some clan?


    "I have little else to impart to you Successor but this Stone Book and the memories of my past battles as to help you on your journey. Watch them and see my triumphs, my glories, my weakness, my losses and learn from them all. I do not want the Successor of Our once Great Clan to Die a dogs death. HAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!


    Beware the Seiryuu clan Successor. They have greedily stolen all of clans wealth and techniques while hunting us to obliteration. Do not reveal yourself to be of our blood until you get strong Successor, there is no telling who may or may not be agents of them............. It seems This is all the power I have left to brand this on the Stone Book. It is Now yours!"


    The Old, sad voice echoed out before fading away while a grey stream flowed quickly and softly to Williams forehead, branding a Large White ''KING!'' on to the flesh of his forehead before that too faded quickly into his skin. As it was doing this a large tremor once again when through Williams body as memories of battle and blood flooded into his mind, fight after fight after fight after fight flashed in his head to point that Williams head was burning as it felt like something was cracking in head. He yelled out in pain but couldn''t move because his hand was stuck to the Stone Book, he could only endure and endure.


    After sometime the cracking sensation left and it felt as if his mind was falling to pieces before a gentle energy flowed into his head and soothed him, picking up the pieces and putting together again each time expanding. Unbeknownst to William the Grey Sky above him reflected the changes in his own head!


    Time seemed to go on forever in this Grey Skied, Barren Landscape as the cycle went on and on with no end in sight for William, he could Only endure with all his might. The Only kept him fighting through the pain was His family and Sheila who he had no idea if she was okay or not, but just the thought of her and his family carried through the pain and suffering he felt and had to watch unfold in front of his eyes.


    ......


    ...............


    .......................


    And One day the memories ended and William opened his eyes but those eyes were no longer the eyes of a boy in his last year of high school, no this was the sight of a man who had relived hundred of thousands of battles and had seen thousands, hundreds of thousands, and Millions of peoples lives be washed away as experts fought each other with the power of gods. His whole perspective had changed at the sight of these battles and he now understood atleast a bit of how his world was taken. These beings had almighty power, who can say what they can and can''t do.


    Watching these battles also filled him a deep seated anger at the senseless slaughter he saw, and that he Senior had tried to stop. His senior was a man of valor whom always enacted justice for the lives of innocents, but he could see that not everyone had those same Ideals. Those of Almighty power were just as shameless and corrupt as us powerless people but they continued to exploit and kill all those under them.

    Williams heart which was once weak was now strong from watching those fights, he had gained greatly from the experience and all he could do was stand and bow while offering a small prayer his dead senior and hoped that the good deeds he witnessed had helped sow good karma for him in the afterlife.


    After he said his prayers he looked around at the place he was in a smirked to himself,"How could I get trapped in my own consciousness! HAHAHAHA! What A Fool I was when I came here!" his self deprecating laugh echoed in his vast consciousness. He then looked at the book his hand was stuck to and smirked to himself before focusing his consciousness from his mind to the book and branding them together to claim it as his own. The Stone Book shuddered for a moment before a happy twang echoed from it, releasing his hand from the book before happily opening its Cover to reveal its first page,


    "Chapter 1 : Body forging is the backbone of our Clan!"


    The symbols on the Tablet, as if to acknowledge its new owner, changed themselves to English to help William understand what was written and what was written inside of the first two pages William had access to was profound and eye opening to William. He had an Idea of what kind of world he stepped into with the Goblins but the knowledge he gained from watching almost 100 years of fights and the text of this book made it clear he was wrong in his first assumption. He thought the world had been turned into some type of Fantasy game world or Dungeons and Dragons type world but reading about Body Forging and thinking on the fights he saw from his Senior made him think back to a web-novel he read on recommendation from a friend on the wrestling team, Coiling Dragon. If he was reading correctly, his clan were basically Warriors from that Novel that used their bodies to cultivate Ki and advance and specialized in close combat techniques above everything else but it seemed that in Williams world cultivating the body was incredibly hard and If you didn''t have a Body Cultivation Technique it was almost assured that you would die by exploding because of over filling your flesh with Ki without proper circulation.


    William couldn''t help but break out in sweat and shake his hid in disbelief at the thought of trying to do that and exploding, it sounded like a horribly painful death and he resolved himself to make sure Sheila didn''t try to cultivate that way. He then continued to read and Found the Body Cultivation of The Bai Hu Clan on the last page he was able to access. The technique was called " The Inferno Fiend Technique" and was both simple in that it could be used quickly to advance up a realm but complicated in that it was incredibly painful in each and every layer of the technique from the Ki Gathering Realm to Origin Sea Realm! You had to consume the cores of magical beasts of atleast the 2nd rank and use their fiendish energy to condense 81 tattoos on the body before tempering in Normal fire after the 41st tattoo and then in Magical flames at the 81st tattoo to break through to the Origin Sea Realm ! The more Potent the flame the Better it was for tempering the Last Tattoo with the highest flames record in the Book being Hellfires and Heavenly Flames. It had Names of some the flames and William Memorized them but he did not hope to encounter any of them before he finished that Tattooing process since the process was more potent if it was finished before you fully made your Dantan at the End of the Ki condensation stage for regular Ki cultivation practitioners! And the end of the technique it noted that after you got the Origin Sea Realm you would be able to control flame techniques with increased proficiency and build up incredible resistances to flame techniques! Even to the point that you can consume a Heavenly Flame or Hellfire and then use that flame as the base of your techniques with a mysterious 82nd Tattoo! But sadly it didn''t detail say where that Tattoo had to be placed because it had been lost to time as no other practitioners have been able to make the 82nd tattoo condense and the harder they tried they even lost all other Tattoos they had previously made and crippled themselves! So Dangerous!


    Williams face twists in agony as he tried to visualize how painful this technique was, Tattooing flesh with just cores of beasts and bathing in all kinds of fire to stabilize the Tattoos? He could only sigh with regret that his ancestors were masochistic bastards to have made this technique for themselves to ascend a realm good god. The thought of bathing in flames for any amount of time unnerved him but he quickly resolved himself to do it because at the moment it was his only way to get strong fast and survive the what ever being would be coming for his life in the future.


    After rereading and rereading the Inferno Fiend Technique he committed it to memory before he finally closed the Stone Book and focus his consciousness for a few moment before he was back outside in the actual world! He takes a few moments to look around to see Sheila standing next to him marveling at her stronger and taller body and Williams face breaks out in a wide grin as he watches her check over herself in an obsessive manner. It had felt as if a 100 years had passed for William as he was immersed in a first person view of battle and slaughter day in and day out but for her it had only been a few seconds outside. Without a second thought William turns and hugs Sheila tight to his chest and just holds her there, much to Sheila''s surprise as the sudden gesture of affection from William flusters her as the two of them refrained from being anything but Student and Teacher when she first started her job at his High School to the point that he had been a bit cold towards her outside whenever she visited his parents or sisters when they were in town. It takes her a moment to melt a bit in his arms and return the hug, laying her head on his chest and hearing his heart beat. She could only chuckle to herself a bit as now he was so large the table had turned from last time he had hugged her he could only barely put his head near her heart. The stood their together in the room and tuned out almost everything in the world except the two of them in these precious moments and in these moment they reaffirmed their friendship with one another with nary a word spoken to each other.


    Some time passes and the cries for help and sounds of fighting barely lessen when the two of them separate from each other and smile before Sheila smacks him on his solid chest with surprising strength, causing William to stumble back a few steps in amazement, "Next time don''t wait till the end of the world to give out hugs dumbass." Sheila''s tone was sharp and biting but she smirked at him at the end if it so he could tell she was just teasing him but she was right, he was a bit petty before because he didn''t want a close family friend to be his teacher, that having a teacher as a friend could make it hard for him to make friends out of regular students, he had been cold towards her right until the accident after which he didn''t know what to do around her because of his previous attitude so he tried to smile more towards her and be warmer but he had never hugged her since she had come back from college and taught at his high school. How could he not appreciate her loyalty to his family even after his cold shoulder.


    "Don''t worry Sheila, I have learned my lesson. It is better to enjoy friends who want to be with me than to worry myself with people I don''t even know yet because I have no Idea how long we have left in this world. " William smile becomes so soft and sincere as he says these words to Sheila that she is stunned to see the brat that she played with  could say something a bit profound. Her face scrunches in thought for a moment before she walks around William in a circle a few times before stopping at his side,"William what the hell is going on? You are standing different and the both of Us are now taller. I feel fitter than I ever have in my life. For Fucks sake the pudge on my stomach is all gone! Just fucking Gone! You killed Goblins and Hobgoblins a few minutes ago and now in the hallways who knows what else is out there is running around killing people! I am trying to process all this fast and keep my cool for your sake but as I look at you now, you barely seemed worried. William what do you know?" in this moment Sheila''s tone took on her authoritative teacher tone as she steeled herself and stared into Williams eyes.


    It impressed William to see Sheila picked up the little cues from his behavior but he wasted no time and filled in on everything he learned from the memories he saw for over a 100 years to being in his consciousness to the Stone Book and what he learned about the clan of his ancestor and the Technique that could only be used by blood descendants of the Clan. To her credit Sheila took almost all the information in stride and was almost always asked for clarification on specifics. At the end Sheila closed her eyes for a few minutes and calmed her breathing before opening them and within those eyes could see some clarity of purpose that did not exist within them before.


    "So We are part of Ki Cultivation world like those old Wuxia movies and Novels? Well that sounds absolutely terrifying. And We grew Stronger and taller because a Senior of Cultivation clan you have vague blood linking you to blessed the two of us with dying breath? Well we have had shit luck by just having this mess drop in on us so I can''t say I''m no happy for the help he granted us but damn this isn''t going to be good at all. One 18 year Black kid and One 23 year old Latina against the world? We don''t even have any Ki cultivation techniques to start off with so we already at a disadvantage. "


    At her words William had to laugh before sweeping his body and Sheila''s with his consciousness to confirm what he himself had been feeling all along,"Don''t worry about that Sheia. Ki is being naturally absorbed by our bodies thanks to that Baptism from My Senior. All We need to do is find cultivation techniques later all we have to do is purify the Ki to our elemental type. It will be a bit rougher on our bodies but we are tougher than the next Joe Smoe anyway so why the hell not!"


    Williams confidence was infectious with his reassuring laughter to calm Sheila''s worries a bit before the two of them scavenged around the room and filled up a few bookbags with lunchboxes and snacks from the desks and bookbags strewn all over the room. Sheila carefully stepped around the corpses and tried to avert her eyes from them but William had already seen almost 100 years of nothing but fighting and slaughter and to him the sight of corpses was hardly the most shocking thing in his mind.


    As they scavenged the sounds outside died down to almost nothing except the occasional scuffle and grunting sounds but it sounded like the Students over all won against the goblin horde that ran through alot of the 3rd floor!


    There were even some students, steely eyed for danger roaming the halls with broken chair legs as if searching for Other Goblins!


    The sight of these guys energized William and Sheila and after they packed up 4 backpacks full of lunches and snacks they unlocked the door and began to open it when the Blue Box showed up once again with a more Ominous message.
