00:00:00Standing on top of the platform, Quinn had a clear view of the giant rat-like creatures coming towards him.
00:00:06BLOOD SPRAY! 25 of 30 HP.
00:00:10The five rats out in front were sent flying back and toppling down the stairs.
00:00:14There was no longer any space for Quinn to go up.
00:00:17He turned around and the rats were just starting to ascend the second set of stairs.
00:00:21He started swinging his hands out rapidly, aiming carefully at each rat.
00:00:25BLOOD SWIPE! As the red claw-like lines left his hands, at the same time, he could hear multiple messages ding in his head.
00:00:33RATICLAW HAS BEEN DEFEATED! 100 EXP! 14 of 30 HP!
00:00:39The messages continued onward, until eventually, all of the rats had been killed.
00:00:44Quinn then fell to the floor on his knees, gasping for air.
00:00:485 of 30 HP!
00:00:50BLOOD BANK HAS AUTO-ACTIVATED!
00:00:5230 of 30 HP!
00:00:5550 milliliters remaining in BLOOD BANK!
00:00:571,040 of 1,600 EXP!
00:01:00Congratulations! BLOOD SWIPE has reached level 2!
00:01:04This meant the remaining blood in his bank would last him a total of 10 days.
00:01:08He didn't know how long he would be on this planet, but he needed to be careful about using his skills.
00:01:14There were only two good things that had come out of the whole situation.
00:01:17The fact that his BLOOD SWIPE skill had leveled up.
00:01:20The second good thing that had come out of this was the EXP he had gained.
00:01:25Quinn then walked up to the dead beasts on the floor.
00:01:28Using the tip of his gauntlets, he tore open the beasts.
00:01:31He searched around inside the chest, looking for a glowing crystal.
00:01:35It was a small, round crystal ball with tiny little bumps all over,
00:01:39and around the same size as an adult's fist.
00:01:42BASIC TIER BEAST CRYSTAL OBTAINED!
00:01:44WOULD YOU LIKE TO STORE IT IN YOUR INVENTORY?
00:01:47Quinn selected the YES option, and suddenly, the crystal in his hand slowly started to vanish away,
00:01:53and finally, it had completely disappeared.
00:01:55Quinn then went to extract the crystals from the remaining nine rats.
00:01:59The beast crystals could be used to turn into beast weapons or beast armor,
00:02:03but looking at the rat-like creature, Quinn had no idea what it could be used for.
00:02:08Even though the building he was in was safe,
00:02:10he was on a strict timescale and needed to find the portal back fast.
00:02:14As he looked around, all he could see were buildings that resembled human structures.
00:02:19That's when he spotted something.
00:02:21One of the buildings, without a doubt, had the same crest as the school he attended.
00:02:26So this really is a human shelter, but then why is it all ruined and destroyed?
00:02:31Quinn had recognized the building as they had one in the city he was currently in.
00:02:36It was the military storage room.
00:02:38It was where they kept all their high-end equipment, ability books, skill books, and beast weapons.
00:02:43There's a good chance the portal might be located in there.
00:02:46Unknown to the students at the school, there was currently chaos going on between the upper staff.
00:02:51Faye, one of the sergeants of the school, was walking down the hallway at incredible speed.
00:02:56Even though she was only walking, she was causing gusts of wind to hit the students as she walked past them.
00:03:01A single wooden door in the first-year building had a sign out front saying the words,
00:03:05General, on it.
00:03:07Faye barged the door open and quickly zoomed to Nathan's desk.
00:03:10The wind that came along with her caused papers to be flown and scattered all over the room.
00:03:15Hey, I was nearly done with that, Nathan shouted.
00:03:18The portals have been used, Faye shouted.
00:03:20Two students seem to have been registered to have gone through them.
00:03:23Nathan started to pick up the papers that were scattered around the room one by one.
00:03:28Is that all? Well, why don't you just go and get them back?
00:03:31I'm afraid it's because they have gone through a red portal, sir.
00:03:34Nathan then dropped all the piles of paper he had picked up from the floor.
00:03:38What? How did this happen? Weren't there meant to be guards stationed at the portal?
00:03:43Apparently, there was a scheduling conflict when the guards changed shifts.
00:03:47Their replacements never arrived.
00:03:49Nathan then went to sit back in his chair as he struggled to think what to do.
00:03:53Stupid parents, this is why I said we should have cameras stationed in the school,
00:03:57but it was hard enough to allow them to get those trackers put on them.
00:04:01The original families had a big say in what went on and what didn't.
00:04:05Do we know which students have gone through the portal?
00:04:07The first one is the student by the name of Quinn Talen.
00:04:11The second one is Vorden Blade.
00:04:13Him again?
00:04:14After the incident with the second years,
00:04:16Nathan decided to look into Vorden's family background a bit more,
00:04:19and if they were to find out, this would be bad news.
00:04:22Make sure his family don't learn anything.
00:04:24We have to keep this a secret for as long as we can.
00:04:27As class had started for the day,
00:04:29Layla noticed that Vorden and Quinn weren't in their seats.
00:04:32However, Peter was in his, and he had his head face down looking at the ground.
00:04:36Hey Peter, do you know where Vorden and Quinn are today? She asked.
00:04:40I didn't do anything, Peter snapped.
00:04:42Huh? What? Layla said, confused.
00:04:45I was asking if you knew where Quinn and Vorden were.
00:04:48Did they not come back to the dorm room yesterday?
00:04:50Oh, sorry. Yeah, they were there when I went back,
00:04:54Peter said with his voice all shaky.
00:04:56I don't know why they haven't come to class this morning.
00:04:59They wouldn't miss today. We're meant to go out portal hunting as a team.
00:05:03Just then, Dell had entered the room.
00:05:05He didn't have his usual cheery face on,
00:05:09and instead had a bland, serious look.
00:05:11I'm afraid that I have to inform you all
00:05:13that today's portal outing has been cancelled for now.
00:05:16Upon hearing the news, the students groaned and complained.
00:05:19Quiet down, Dell said loudly.
00:05:22Aaron had then come over to where Layla was.
00:05:25Yesterday, while I was walking by two students,
00:05:27I overheard the sergeant shouting at the general,
00:05:29something about two students going into the portals.
00:05:32My guess is that's the reason why this whole thing has been delayed in the first place.
00:05:36Layla then stood up from her seat and grabbed Aaron by the shoulders.
00:05:40Don't you see? Vorden and Quinn have to be the missing students.
00:05:44No wonder Dell didn't say anything about them.
00:05:46As she turned her head, she looked Peter dead in the eye.
00:05:50As soon as Layla took a step forward,
00:05:52Peter got out of his seat and ran for it.
00:05:54Aaron, we have to get Peter, he knows something.
00:05:57A person who isn't guilty doesn't run away for no reason.
00:06:01Hi, Quinn here. Thirsty for more action?
00:06:05Jump the queue and unleash all episodes.
00:06:07Click on the link here and install the Pocket FM app.
00:06:10Sink your teeth into the next episode of our fang-tastic journey.
00:06:14Only on the Pocket FM Universe.
00:06:21As class ended, the students continued to speak,
00:06:24and it turned out that Layla wasn't the only one who was concerned
00:06:27about where Vorden and Quinn went.
00:06:30Any idea about the other two? Aaron said bluntly.
00:06:34No, I have no idea. Do you want to go look for them with me?
00:06:37Layla asked nicely.
00:06:39No thanks, Aaron replied.
00:06:41Now that the portal training has been delayed, I am in no rush to find them.
00:06:44But I came over to tell you some news I heard some students talking about.
00:06:48Yesterday while I was walking by two students,
00:06:50they overheard the sergeant shouting at the general,
00:06:53something about two students going into the portals.
00:06:56My guess is that's the reason why this whole thing has been delayed in the first place.
00:07:00Wait, what did you say?
00:07:02Don't you see? Vorden and Quinn have to be the missing students.
00:07:05No wonder Del didn't say anything about them.
00:07:08Then suddenly it felt like she was being handed pieces of a jigsaw puzzle one by one.
00:07:13But there was still one missing piece,
00:07:15and she knew exactly the person who could give her the last piece.
00:07:19Peter felt like Layla was staring into his soul.
00:07:21This whole time he had been worried.
00:07:23What if someone had seen him leave the portal room?
00:07:26What if the other First Years reported it was him?
00:07:29Then when Layla had spoken to him in the morning, he slipped up.
00:07:32He was trying so hard to act natural, it had the opposite effect.
00:07:36As soon as Layla took a step forward, Peter got out of his seat and ran for it.
00:07:40Aaron, we have to get Peter, he knows something.
00:07:43What makes you think that? Aaron asked.
00:07:45A person who isn't guilty doesn't run away for no reason.
00:07:48Blood was dripping from the top of his head,
00:07:50and started to go trickle down to his eyebrow.
00:07:53He lifted his hand to wipe the blood,
00:07:55while holding a dagger made of mud in his other hand.
00:07:58Say, you got us killed, Vorden.
00:08:00Will you shut up, unless you want to fight the damn thing instead?
00:08:03Fine then, let me take control of the seat,
00:08:05and I'll fight this damned rat.
00:08:07Vorden then left the seat in his mind,
00:08:09and allowed Rayton to take his place.
00:08:12When Rayton sat down, he took control of the body.
00:08:15Meanwhile, Vorden walked off into the darkness,
00:08:18and inside was another figure that looked just like Vorden,
00:08:21only they were sitting on the floor swaying backwards and forwards.
00:08:24Their fingers would constantly roll around each other,
00:08:28and part of his shirt was in his mouth.
00:08:30How are you holding up, are you feeling better? Vorden asked.
00:08:33Yeah, is Quinn going to be okay?
00:08:35He said as he continued to sway backwards and forwards.
00:08:38I'm sure he's fine, you know he's special.
00:08:40We all did from the moment we first met him.
00:08:42Special, just like Kaser was, and Marlon, and Fufu.
00:08:46But they all died as well.
00:08:48Vorden gulped as he could see the swaying getting faster.
00:08:51This time is different. Me and Rayton are here to protect you.
00:08:54You can stay here as long as you want,
00:08:56and when you're ready you can come out once again.
00:08:58Leave all the talk to me, all the fighting to Rayton,
00:09:00and we can do this together.
00:09:02The swaying started to slow down,
00:09:04and at the same time so did Vorden's nerves.
00:09:06As Vorden went to walk back to the seat,
00:09:08he could see that Rayton had already dealt with the beast, rather quickly.
00:09:12Did you really have to go that far? Vorden asked.
00:09:15That cheeky little crap ruined our body.
00:09:17I can't let it get away with that.
00:09:19Vorden then proceeded to carve out the beast crystals from the two rats,
00:09:23and place them in his trouser leg pocket.
00:09:25I come in peace, the man said with his arms lifted up.
00:09:28Vorden walked over to the traveler cautiously.
00:09:31It was rare to even meet a traveler in this type of place,
00:09:34and who knew what the man's true intentions were.
00:09:37Someone had to be at least a decent skill level to be asked to enter a red portal planet.
00:09:42Don't worry, I won't bite, the man said.
00:09:44What's a kid like you doing in a place like this?
00:09:47I didn't know the military was that desperate,
00:09:49that they were now sending a single student to a hellhole like this.
00:09:53I got stuck here, it was an accident, and I need to find a way out.
00:09:57Looks like we both have the same goal at least, the traveler said.
00:10:00The name's Ian, I came through another portal and was hunting out a beast in the wild.
00:10:05I was badly hurt and too far away from the original portal,
00:10:08so in a last ditch effort I decided to come to this abandoned shelter.
00:10:11You're quite skillful to have defeated two of them on your own,
00:10:14especially for someone as young as yourself.
00:10:16You have my thanks, I was too badly hurt from the beast before,
00:10:19that rataclaw had chased me into the warehouse,
00:10:22and I was waiting for it to go away.
00:10:24I never expected someone else to be here in this shelter.
00:10:26You're welcome, Vorden replied.
00:10:28Well, since we both have the same goal anyway,
00:10:31do you have any idea where the portal could be?
00:10:33Sure, there were a few buildings I spotted on my way over here,
00:10:36it's best if we check them out first.
00:10:38The name's Vorden, I look forward to us working together.
00:10:41Do you know when the sun will rise? Vorden asked.
00:10:44Maybe it will be best if we travel once the sunlight comes out,
00:10:47then we can spot beasts easier.
00:10:49You really don't know where we are, do you? Ian replied.
00:10:52This planet spin cycle lasts an entire year,
00:10:55and right now we're only six months in.
00:10:57I'm afraid we won't be seeing light for a very long time.
00:11:00Once the two of them were ready, they decided to head back outside,
00:11:03while Ian took the lead.
00:11:05They made sure to travel close to the buildings,
00:11:07rather than in the middle of the street.
00:11:09If anything spotted them, they could quickly dart inside for combat.
00:11:13Hey, Vorden, I have an idea!
00:11:16Rayton said, why don't we kill the adventurer while he's weak,
00:11:19and get that crystal of his?
00:11:21We could sell it for a fortune,
00:11:23or even make some really good equipment out of the thing.
00:11:25Hi, Quinn here.
00:11:27Thirsty for more action?
00:11:29Jump the queue and unleash all episodes.
00:11:31Click on the link here and install the Pocket FM app.
00:11:34Sink your teeth into the next episode of our fang-tastic journey.
00:11:38Only on the Pocket FM Universe.
00:11:46Are you an idiot?
00:11:48Once we kill him, then what would we do?
00:11:50His ability would only last for 24 hours.
00:11:52If we don't find a way out of here in time,
00:11:54we would be completely done for.
00:11:56Then suddenly Ian stopped as he spotted something.
00:11:58Look over there, Ian pointed.
00:12:00In the middle of the street lay a single dead rataclaw.
00:12:04The two of them looked around before proceeding to move closer to it.
00:12:08It looks like it wasn't killed too long ago,
00:12:10and had its heads been pounded in,
00:12:12Ian said as he bent down to get a closer look.
00:12:14Then he suddenly pulled out a beast crystal.
00:12:16Whoever it was, they didn't have time to remove the beast crystal.
00:12:20They were probably being chased by something else.
00:12:22Actually, Vorden said out loud,
00:12:24I wasn't the only one who came through here by accident.
00:12:26My friend came here with me,
00:12:28and I was actually hoping to find him.
00:12:30I won't ask for details, Ian said,
00:12:32but don't get your hopes up.
00:12:34I was surprised to see you alive, never mind your friend.
00:12:36Ian felt like he should try to help out.
00:12:38He started to inspect the rataclaw on the floor,
00:12:40and found a trail of black blood.
00:12:42Come on, let's go see if we can find that friend of yours.
00:12:44The two of them continued to follow the trail,
00:12:46until it eventually led them to a three-story building.
00:12:48As they entered the first floor,
00:12:50it was mostly empty with no signs of anything,
00:12:52but Ian decided to continue to follow the trail of black blood
00:12:54that led up the set of stairs.
00:12:56What happened here?
00:12:58Ian thought.
00:13:00As they walked up the first set,
00:13:02they could see more and more black blood splattered everywhere on the walls.
00:13:04Then, when they walked up even further,
00:13:06the two of them were stunned to see
00:13:08what had happened to them.
00:13:10Lying on the ground,
00:13:12were ten rataclaws died,
00:13:14completely still,
00:13:16each one with their beast crystal carved out.
00:13:18Who did this?
00:13:20Are there more people here?
00:13:22Maybe another team on a mission?
00:13:24Ian said.
00:13:26I'm sorry, I thought perhaps the rataclaw outside
00:13:28was killed by your student friend,
00:13:30but it looks like I was wrong.
00:13:32You would need at least a small team to take out ten at once like this.
00:13:34The two of them then decided to climb to the roof.
00:13:36They stood on top of the roof and looked down.
00:13:39That's when the two of them spotted something.
00:13:41Get down quick!
00:13:43Ian said.
00:13:45It was a beast that walked on six legs,
00:13:47three on each side.
00:13:49Its body stood upright like that of a human,
00:13:51while the bottom half was like that of a scorpion.
00:13:53It was a hideous beast that clearly wasn't from Earth.
00:13:55An intermediate beast?
00:13:57Ian said.
00:13:59Hey, what's that building?
00:14:01Vorden asked.
00:14:03Could the portal be inside there?
00:14:05That's the storage room.
00:14:07Usually those places get targeted by thieves and such,
00:14:09and even if it wasn't there,
00:14:11it would be best if we let the beast leave first.
00:14:13Quinn had left the other building
00:14:15and slowly started to make his way to the storage room.
00:14:17He had no clue when the sun would rise
00:14:19and needed a place to stay for the night.
00:14:21Not only that,
00:14:23but he was hoping that he might come across some treasures
00:14:25at the storage room.
00:14:27On his way, he spotted a few rataclaws
00:14:29feasting on something in the middle of the street.
00:14:31Damn, they're everywhere,
00:14:33just like rats back on Earth, Quinn thought.
00:14:35Quinn continued to head towards the storage building
00:14:37until finally, he had arrived.
00:14:39At the front, there were two large steel doors
00:14:41which slid open.
00:14:43Afraid that they might make a lot of noise
00:14:45and attract unwanted attention,
00:14:47he decided to walk around the building
00:14:49to see if there were any other openings or entrances.
00:14:51With his back hugging the side of the wall,
00:14:53he peeked out to take a look.
00:14:55It seemed like there was another rataclaw,
00:14:57only this one was squealing
00:14:59and on its back in pain.
00:15:01Its cries were weak,
00:15:04and he wondered just how long had the beast been there for.
00:15:06He came out from the side of the wall
00:15:08and walked up to the injured rataclaw on its back.
00:15:10As he got closer to it,
00:15:12the rataclaw snarled at Quinn
00:15:14and tried to swipe its claws out.
00:15:16Still trying to kill me even in this state,
00:15:18Quinn thought,
00:15:20let me put you out of your pain.
00:15:22He walked up to the beast,
00:15:24and with a single blow to its head,
00:15:26it had died.
00:15:28As Quinn looked at the back of the building,
00:15:30he could see a small hole in one of the corners.
00:15:32Before entering,
00:15:34he gulped at the thought that perhaps
00:15:36whatever injured the rat might be inside.
00:15:38Crawling on his front,
00:15:40he had reached the hole and tried to pop his head in.
00:15:42It was big enough for a human to fit through,
00:15:44but what he was afraid of was inside the building.
00:15:46He crawled through the hole
00:15:48and entered into the hangar.
00:15:50Nearly everything inside had been destroyed.
00:15:52There were no airships, mechs,
00:15:54and no beast weapons.
00:15:56He started to walk around the hangar for a while,
00:15:58until eventually,
00:16:00he found a room stationed in the corner.
00:16:02He walked up to the room,
00:16:04and there was a single steel door
00:16:06with a passcode device next to it.
00:16:08The door was military grade,
00:16:10which meant even those with abilities
00:16:12would find it hard to break it down.
00:16:14But it was clear to him that whatever was in the container
00:16:16had yet to be destroyed,
00:16:18and most likely whatever was inside
00:16:20was important stuff worth locking.
00:16:22Should I try hammer strike on it?
00:16:24He looked at the passcode on the side
00:16:26and pressed four random digits
00:16:29Of course I'm not that lucky,
00:16:31he thought.
00:16:33Looking at the lock again,
00:16:35his gut was telling him to try it.
00:16:37Quinn then did as his inspect skill said
00:16:39and touched the lock.
00:16:41Nothing happened,
00:16:43but then he used the inspect skill one more time.
00:16:45Quinn immediately tested out the number
00:16:47the system had given him.
00:16:49The door then made an unlocking sound
00:16:51and swung open.

00:17:28This looks like any other and a secret entrance.
00:17:30Wait, so are you saying we just
00:17:32have to keep going into buildings?
00:17:34Well, we can rule out all the residential
00:17:36buildings. They wouldn't be able to build
00:17:38a large enough base under those.
00:17:40And any of the small buildings or dangerous areas
00:17:42you can rule out as well.
00:17:44There are only so many big buildings that would be large enough
00:17:46to store a big base under.
00:17:48The two of them continued to look into building
00:17:50after building, but there was no lock
00:17:52or no sign of a secret room.
00:17:54Eventually, they entered what looked like
00:17:56a library. That's when a loud
00:17:58rumbling sound had come from Vorden's
00:18:00belly.
00:18:02I guess we've been traveling for a while now. Why don't we rest
00:18:04here for the night? Doesn't look like there are any
00:18:06beasts here and we can build our own fortress,
00:18:08Ian said. There were large holes
00:18:10and broken down walls on the first floor
00:18:12which made it easy for beasts to attack
00:18:14them. Once they had reached the second
00:18:16floor, the two of them started to lift up
00:18:18a few of the bookshelves.
00:18:20It seemed like Ian had the ability of super strength,
00:18:22seeing how easily he moved the
00:18:24heavy bookshelves, but Vorden knew
00:18:26that wasn't true. The reason why
00:18:28Ian seemed like he had extra strength
00:18:30was actually from the beast armor he was wearing.
00:18:32Vorden helped out in his own
00:18:34way by clearing a space and moving
00:18:36all the books and piles of rubbish away.
00:18:38After an hour or so, they were
00:18:40done. It's a nice home, isn't it?
00:18:42Ian said proudly of his work.
00:18:44Well, what are you waiting for? Come on, let's
00:18:46go inside. He then pulled out
00:18:48a little small stone from his pocket
00:18:50and placed it on the ground in the center
00:18:52of the room. He tapped the stone
00:18:54once and a warm orange light started
00:18:56to shine from it. Here, take
00:18:58this, Ian said as he handed
00:19:00a small circle pill to Vorden.
00:19:02Is this a food supplement?
00:19:04Vorden asked. Yeah, I'm guessing
00:19:06if you came here by accident, you don't have any with
00:19:08you. Vorden looked at
00:19:10the pill before shoving it down his throat
00:19:12and into the stomach. A food
00:19:14supplement was a pill that contained all
00:19:16the things a human needed to live.
00:19:18As long as a person took one pill of these
00:19:20a day, they no longer needed to eat.
00:19:22You'll get some sleep and I'll keep watch.
00:19:24Then we'll do a little switch later on,
00:19:26Ian said. Sounds good?
00:19:28Yeah.
00:19:30As he heard the sound of the door
00:19:32unlocking, a grin appeared on his face.
00:19:34I love you, system.
00:19:36I swear I'll never talk badly about you ever
00:19:38again, Quinn said as he stepped
00:19:40into the container. But as he
00:19:42stepped in, his hopes of finding legendary
00:19:44beast equipment or stashes of
00:19:46beast crystals were soon lost.
00:19:48The room was simply filled with shelves
00:19:50of books. Nothing else
00:19:52but books. However,
00:19:54as soon as Quinn picked up one of the books
00:19:56closest to him, his mind had quickly
00:19:58changed. It was a container room
00:20:00filled with ability and skill books.
00:20:02Although Quinn was unable to learn the
00:20:04ability, he immediately converted
00:20:06the book into EXP points.
00:20:08As soon as Quinn decided to convert
00:20:10the book into EXP, it
00:20:12started to vanish in his very hands,
00:20:14as if it was disintegrating.
00:20:16After absorbing the first book,
00:20:18Quinn started to pick up book after book.
00:20:20After going through the books, Quinn
00:20:22found out that a level 1 skill book
00:20:24would give him 5 EXP points,
00:20:26while a level 1 ability book
00:20:28would give him 10 EXP points.
00:20:30Quinn got closer to the back of the
00:20:32container and found that the level of books
00:20:34would increase. After leveling up,
00:20:36Quinn immediately put his stat point
00:20:38into Strength, and now without his gauntlets,
00:20:40his Strength was at 15,
00:20:42meaning he would be able to perform the
00:20:44strike skill with or without the gauntlets.
00:20:46As Quinn looked around the room,
00:20:48there were still several books he hadn't
00:20:50even touched yet. The place really was
00:20:52a gold mine for him. As he went
00:20:54onto the next set of shelves, with it
00:20:56came a new set of books. He placed
00:20:58his hand on the first one, and it was the
00:21:00first level 3 ability book he had come across.
00:21:02Quinn placed the book down
00:21:04and picked the book up, making sure
00:21:06he had heard the system right, but once
00:21:08again, the numbers he had received were correct.
00:21:10The level 3 ability book was
00:21:12offering him 1000 EXP points.
00:21:14He once again went on
00:21:16rampage, grabbing every book he could
00:21:18on the shelf, absorbing those that
00:21:20he couldn't, and tossing the others on the ground.
00:21:22No new skills were unlocked,
00:21:24but Quinn still obtained the regular stat points
00:21:26for every level up. Now that
00:21:28his Strength and Agility were at level 15,
00:21:30he decided he should finally increase
00:21:32his Stamina points.
00:21:34Quinn had now nearly touched every single
00:21:36book that was in the storage room.
00:21:38Unfortunately, the highest ability
00:21:40Quinn was able to find so far
00:21:42was a level 3 ability book.
00:21:44The further he went into the container,
00:21:46the higher the levels, but for the last few
00:21:48shelves, it didn't seem to be the case.
00:21:50It seemed like they were just duplicates
00:21:52of the other level 3 ability books.
00:21:54As Quinn picked up one book,
00:21:56the system message didn't go off.
00:21:58It was because it was a level 3
00:22:00Earth ability book that he had already
00:22:02absorbed. Hey, maybe
00:22:04Peter could use this, Quinn thought.
00:22:06It was only one book.
00:22:08Quinn was sure he would be able to carry it safely
00:22:10with him, but as soon as he thought about
00:22:12Peter, a memory entered his mind
00:22:14and it wasn't a good one.
00:22:16Peter was the whole reason why he was in this place.
00:22:18And he still didn't know how long
00:22:20he was going to be here, or if he would
00:22:22even be able to survive. To be honest,
00:22:24Quinn was just trying to make the best
00:22:26out of a bad situation at the moment.
00:22:28As he thought about Peter,
00:22:30anger started to enter his mind and body
00:22:32and he ripped the book up.
00:22:34Then as Quinn looked around the container,
00:22:36he noticed there was one shelf
00:22:38at the very back of the room
00:22:40where he hadn't been yet. He didn't bother
00:22:42going over there yet because it looked
00:22:44empty from a distance, but as he got
00:22:46closer, he noticed there was a single book
00:22:48that had been placed there.
00:22:50As he touched the book on the shelf,
00:22:52a new message appeared.
00:22:54Out of shock, Quinn dropped the book back
00:22:56onto the shelf and took a step back.
00:22:58Ability is compatible with system.
00:23:00Would you like to learn?
00:23:02Out of all the books in the room,
00:23:04this was the first time he had ever received
00:23:06a message of this kind.
00:23:08Then Quinn started to think back to the name
00:23:10of the ability, Shadow Element.
00:23:12It was something he had never even heard of before
00:23:14and Quinn was quite knowledgeable
00:23:16about the abilities of the world.
00:23:18After thinking about it for a long time,
00:23:20he decided he would try to place the book
00:23:22in his storage. And to his surprise,
00:23:24it worked. The ability book
00:23:26was safely put into his system storage
00:23:28with his beast crystals.
00:23:30Before learning the ability,
00:23:32he wanted to make sure he could find out more
00:23:34about it first. Maybe then,
00:23:36he could find out why it was compatible
00:23:38with his vampire system. And if so,
00:23:40maybe there were other abilities
00:23:42that would be compatible as well.
00:23:44After storing the book away, he decided
00:23:46to close the door to the container unit
00:23:48and remain inside. It was safe here
00:23:50and he was starting to feel tired.
00:23:52At least he knew the container was strong
00:23:54enough to protect him from whatever
00:23:56beast remained outside.
00:23:58He lied on the floor and in an instant,
00:24:00closed his eyes.
00:24:02His body was pressed against the cold hard
00:24:04floor. His eyelids slowly started
00:24:06to open and all he could see was a white
00:24:08light. For a moment while Quinn
00:24:10was sleeping, he had forgotten about everything
00:24:12that happened. But as soon as he
00:24:14looked around him and realized where he was
00:24:16and he knew that everything wasn't a dream.
00:24:18Right now, he wasn't at the school
00:24:20but was on a completely different planet
00:24:22miles away from home.
00:24:24It was a surprise that he slept so well
00:24:26on the floor without a bed. Without
00:24:28realizing it, he was more exhausted than
00:24:30he thought. Your hunger grows.
00:24:32Daily quest complete.
00:24:34Avoid direct sunlight for 8 hours.
00:24:36And at last, the
00:24:38system message had appeared. This meant
00:24:40that in one more day's time, the system
00:24:42would inform him that he needed to consume
00:24:44human blood. He was okay for
00:24:46now as he still had 50ml
00:24:48of blood in his bank.
00:24:50As long as he didn't get in any more fights,
00:24:52he would be fine. The most important thing
00:24:54for him to do now was to find that
00:24:56portal. As he went to open the
00:24:58steel door, Quinn was half expecting
00:25:00that the sun might be out. After all,
00:25:02the message appearing meant it was a new day.
00:25:04But as he opened the door, he was
00:25:06surprised to see it was still night out.
00:25:08However, his mind was quickly distracted
00:25:10by something else.
00:25:12Quinn immediately closed the door back up
00:25:14to the container. He placed his hand
00:25:16on his chest, feeling his heart beating
00:25:18at an incredible speed.
00:25:20What was that? Quinn thought. That was
00:25:22no rat, that's for sure.
00:25:24This time, Quinn went to the steel door
00:25:26again. He placed his hand on the
00:25:28metallic handle once again, and
00:25:30slowly opened the door to take a peek.
00:25:32And as he did, a large beast
00:25:34stood inside the hangar.
00:25:36With the body of a human, but the bottom
00:25:38half of a scorpion-like creature,
00:25:40Quinn couldn't make out what it was.
00:25:42From the human half of its body,
00:25:44it also had two claws on each side.
00:25:46Inspect!
00:25:48SCORDANA INTERMEDIATE LEVEL BEAST
00:25:50After finding out what little
00:25:52information was available about the beast,
00:25:54Quinn quickly closed the door once
00:25:56again. Although Quinn had grown
00:25:58three levels while inside the container,
00:26:00he still felt like dealing with an
00:26:02intermediate beast would almost be
00:26:04impossible for him. The weakest
00:26:06of intermediate beasts were at least
00:26:08ten times stronger than a basic
00:26:10tier beast. Of course, this would
00:26:12depend on the beast, for there were some
00:26:14beasts that were just easier to deal with than
00:26:16others, no matter what tier they were at.
00:26:18But looking at the creature,
00:26:20Quinn could tell it would be a tough battle.
00:26:22After waiting for what felt like a
00:26:24considerable amount of time, he decided
00:26:26to open the door once again to check
00:26:28if the beast was still there. And
00:26:30unfortunately, it was.
00:26:32That was when Quinn noticed something else that
00:26:34was in the hangar that wasn't there before.
00:26:36There were three round objects right
00:26:38next to the Scordana placed
00:26:40in a pile of scrap metal.
00:26:42Are those eggs? Quinn thought.
00:26:44Inspect! SCORDANA EGGS
00:26:46INTERMEDIATE BEAST LEVEL
00:26:48As he saw the eggs, a horrible thought
00:26:50had entered his mind. Quinn
00:26:52hadn't noticed them before, meaning
00:26:54she must have just laid them out while he was
00:26:56in the container, or they might have been
00:26:58hidden somewhere. But the first was
00:27:00more likely, now the fact that her eggs
00:27:02were here meant the beast would protect
00:27:04them until they hatched, or at least
00:27:06it wouldn't be moving for a while.
00:27:08This felt like a risky option for Quinn,
00:27:10for he himself was on a time frame.
00:27:12Then there was the second option.
00:27:14If the Scordana had just
00:27:16been given birth, then there was a chance
00:27:18she was weaker compared to usual.
00:27:20With the second option, he had to make a
00:27:22decision as soon as possible.
00:27:24In the end, Quinn gritted his teeth
00:27:26and stepped out of the container.
00:27:28Before even thinking of fighting against the beast,
00:27:30he would try his best to sneak out.
00:27:32The entrance to the front of the hangar
00:27:34was completely destroyed.
00:27:36The beast, when entering, had ripped apart
00:27:38the two metallic doors before coming in.
00:27:40The problem was, the beast was blocking
00:27:42that exit, but that still left
00:27:44Quinn with a small hole in the wall
00:27:46from where he had entered.
00:27:48Carefully moving in between piles of scrap metal
00:27:50and rubbish, Quinn slowly moved across
00:27:52the room to the other side where he
00:27:54had first entered. Then, when he
00:27:56finally had reached the hole, he could see
00:27:58something else entering from the other side.
00:28:00It was a Rattaclaw.
00:28:02Oh no!
00:28:04As soon as the Rattaclaw pulled its body through the
00:28:06small hole, it immediately looked up to
00:28:08see Quinn. Before he even had
00:28:10a chance to run away, Rattaclaw
00:28:12started squealing like mad.
00:28:14Shut up! Why did you have to come here now
00:28:16of all times? Then the sound
00:28:18of several steps was heard from behind.
00:28:20Quinn didn't have time to turn around
00:28:22to know what it was, but he did
00:28:24so anyway, and as he did, a giant
00:28:26claw was swung down towards his head.
00:28:28Now that the Skordana had spotted
00:28:30Quinn, he had no choice but to stand
00:28:32his ground and fight. As the
00:28:34scorpion creature turned, it immediately
00:28:36started charging forward.
00:28:38Hoping to scare it away and do some damage,
00:28:40Quinn let out two blood swipes.
00:28:42As the blood swipe
00:28:44made impact, the scorpion was pushed
00:28:46back a few steps, but no damage
00:28:48could be seen, not even a white scratch
00:28:50mark on the claws. As Quinn looked
00:28:52and inspected the creature even closer,
00:28:54he could see that every part of the
00:28:56beast was covered in some type of shell
00:28:58apart from the upper body.
00:29:00That was the beast's weak point, and
00:29:02that's where he needed to hit.
00:29:04Then as Quinn readied his hand to cast
00:29:06his blood swipe skill, he felt a sharp
00:29:08pain in his back. As he looked
00:29:10up, he could see something connected to
00:29:12his body, and when he followed it, it
00:29:14went behind the beast. The beast
00:29:16then lifted Quinn with the tail and
00:29:18chucked him hard up against the wall.
00:29:20As he fell to the ground, his HP
00:29:22had taken a huge hit. As
00:29:24Quinn looked into his stomach, he could see
00:29:26a large puncture had been created,
00:29:28and blood was quickly flowing out of
00:29:30his body. Critical hit,
00:29:3210 of 45 HP,
00:29:34blood bank empty, 35
00:29:36of 45 HP.
00:29:38With his health nearly full, his wounds
00:29:40had healed up almost instantly, and
00:29:42Quinn was able to move once again.
00:29:44Looking at the scorpion, he noticed
00:29:46the tail truly wasn't there.
00:29:48Is it able to take it into his body and
00:29:50out at will? This is going to be a pain.
00:29:52There were no more second chances.
00:29:54A battle of strength was
00:29:56being displayed between the two.
00:29:58The red swipes were powerful and started
00:30:00to knock the beast back, and eventually,
00:30:02even the claws started to crack,
00:30:04but neither of them gave up.
00:30:0613 of 45 HP.
00:30:08When the beast was close enough,
00:30:10finally the tail was revealed from above.
00:30:12While its claws covered and blocked
00:30:14its body from the swipes, its plan
00:30:16was to attack from above, with its
00:30:18long, large tail.
00:30:20As it fired its tail downward, just before
00:30:22the tail could pierce Quinn again,
00:30:24flash step! Suddenly,
00:30:26Quinn was no longer in front of the scorpion,
00:30:28and now was directly behind it.
00:30:30Hammer strike! Then a few
00:30:32moments later, the beast had collapsed to
00:30:34the ground, and so had Quinn,
00:30:36completely exhausted. As he
00:30:38lifted his hands, his gauntlets had
00:30:40completely shattered. Scordana has been
00:30:42killed, 1000 EXP.
00:30:44First intermediate beast kill,
00:30:465000 EXP. First
00:30:48Scordana killed, 2000
00:30:50EXP. Right now,
00:30:52he had a serious problem. His health
00:30:54was incredibly low. 13 of
00:30:5645 HP, and with his blood
00:30:58bank empty, there was no way for him
00:31:00to heal it back to normal. After
00:31:02waiting a few moments for his stamina to
00:31:04rise back up, he walked up to the
00:31:06dead Scordana's body. Finally,
00:31:08after tearing and rummaging through several
00:31:10limbs, the beast crystal was obtained
00:31:12and stored in his system once again.
00:31:14Now, Quinn looked
00:31:16at the eggs in the room. As he went
00:31:18forward, he lifted one of the eggs.
00:31:20He took a few steps back, before
00:31:22lifting it into the air, and slamming it
00:31:24into the ground. Black blood
00:31:26had been splattered all across the floor,
00:31:28and a little half-grown scorpion could be
00:31:30seen inside. Scordana
00:31:32A killed, 1000 EXP.
00:31:34Congratulations, you are now level
00:31:369. 13 of 50 HP.
00:31:38The system hadn't
00:31:40given his health back like he thought it might have done.
00:31:42Your hunger grows.
00:31:44You can no longer suppress your need for
00:31:46blood. Your HP will decrease
00:31:48by negative 1 HP
00:31:50every hour, until you have consumed
00:31:52human blood.
00:31:54Due to Quinn's energy and most of his blood
00:31:56being used in the fight earlier, his body
00:31:58was now no longer naturally healing
00:32:00itself. He was too hungry to heal,
00:32:02and would need blood.
00:32:04With 13 points, that's 13 hours before I
00:32:06reach zero, and that's only if I don't use
00:32:08any of my skills, or get injured along
00:32:10the way. I have no choice.
00:32:12I have to try to find the portal,
00:32:14Quinn said. Before leaving the hangar,
00:32:16Quinn had to think hard about just
00:32:18where the portal would be. All he knew
00:32:20was that they had to place it somewhere safe.
00:32:22Somewhere, the beasts wouldn't be able
00:32:24to get to it. As he walked through the city,
00:32:26he decided to tread very carefully.
00:32:28Once in a while, he would come across a building
00:32:30with beasts inside. As he
00:32:32entered the buildings, there would be cases where
00:32:34Quinn had spotted them far up ahead in the
00:32:36darkness. He quickly would shift and
00:32:38hide in the shadows, or behind walls,
00:32:40waiting for the beasts to leave,
00:32:42and when he was ready, he would zoom past
00:32:44and around. 11 of 50
00:32:46HP. The hunger in his
00:32:48belly was starting to distract him, and it
00:32:50was getting harder for him to focus, as
00:32:52his health had gone down. Then
00:32:54finally, Quinn had spotted another
00:32:56building that was relatively in good condition.
00:32:58The training center, a place where travelers
00:33:00could come and test out their skills,
00:33:02or practice with new equipment. As
00:33:04Quinn got closer to the dome building,
00:33:06he noticed that there were several mechs
00:33:08stationed outside that had been destroyed,
00:33:10their cores completely ripped
00:33:12out. Mechs were a powerful
00:33:14device used in the war, but
00:33:16to power them, they required an incredibly
00:33:18powerful beast crystal of a high
00:33:20tier. As he reached the entrance of the
00:33:22training center, he could see that two
00:33:24Rattaclaws were standing out in front of the building.
00:33:26He decided to wait a little longer,
00:33:28hoping that the Rattaclaws might
00:33:30move. 10 of 50 HP.
00:33:32But as he saw the message bring
00:33:34his health down once again, he was only
00:33:36getting even more aggravated. The
00:33:38rats didn't look like they would be leaving anytime
00:33:40soon, and Quinn needed
00:33:42to come up with a plan. As
00:33:44Quinn looked around him, he found a broken piece of
00:33:46the mech nearby. He picked it up,
00:33:48and looked off into the distance. Using all
00:33:50his strength, he threw the piece of metal a
00:33:52great distance. The piece
00:33:54of metal landed exactly where he was
00:33:56aiming for, making a large clang
00:33:58sound as it fell on the mech. The rats then
00:34:00looked up at where the noise was coming from,
00:34:02and quickly scurried off in the direction of
00:34:04the sound. This is my chance! Quinn,
00:34:06using all the powers in his legs,
00:34:08bolted for the entrance. He tried pushing
00:34:10the steel doors open, but there was no luck.
00:34:12As he looked around the door for anything,
00:34:14he spotted another access code
00:34:16machine. He immediately rushed forward,
00:34:18placing his hand on the machine, and used
00:34:20his inspect skill. I hope these works
00:34:22don't let me down! An access code machine
00:34:24linked to the two steel doors. The
00:34:26combination is 333-462-537-78.
00:34:30However, just as Quinn
00:34:32was inputting the code into the machine,
00:34:34the rataclaws had returned. As
00:34:36the beasts saw him, they shrieked and called
00:34:38out another two of its friends. There
00:34:40were now four of the things. Come on!
00:34:42Come on! Beep!
00:34:44Damn, I must have put in the wrong number!
00:34:46He used his inspect skill once again,
00:34:48making sure he had the right code.
00:34:50He started inputting the numbers again
00:34:52when he suddenly felt something chomp
00:34:54down onto his leg. 9 of
00:34:5650 HP. As he looked down,
00:34:58it was one of the rats, and the other three
00:35:00weren't too far behind it. The other
00:35:02three were now too close, and he no longer
00:35:04had any time to input the code.
00:35:06Flashstep! Then Quinn was suddenly behind
00:35:08them, but he was still too close to
00:35:10the four rats. Flashstep only had
00:35:12a distance of 5 meters at most.
00:35:14The rats turned, and all ran forward
00:35:16towards him. I have no choice!
00:35:18He held out his palm and fired. Bloodburst!
00:35:20A shotgun-like spray of
00:35:22blood was released from his hand, and it
00:35:24knocked back all four of the rats, killing
00:35:26the already injured one. 4 of
00:35:2850 HP. 100 EXP.
00:35:30He then rushed forward to one of the rats
00:35:32on the ground, held both hands together,
00:35:34and slammed it down on another rat's head,
00:35:36killing the second one.
00:35:38100 EXP. Now the other two
00:35:40rats had recovered, and were quickly after
00:35:42Quinn once again. Out of desperation,
00:35:44he swung his hands and activated his
00:35:46blood swipe, although this time, the blood
00:35:48swipes were strong, and it killed each
00:35:50one in a single attack. 100 EXP.
00:35:52100 EXP.
00:35:54850 of
00:35:5625,600 EXP.
00:35:582 of 50 HP. With his time
00:36:00running incredibly low, Quinn didn't
00:36:02even bother to get out the beast crystals.
00:36:04He went up to the door this time, inputting
00:36:06the code correctly, and as he entered,
00:36:08he shut the door behind him, making sure
00:36:10it was locked. He was now in what looked like
00:36:12a reception area, a canteen of
00:36:14sorts, with several seats and a desk
00:36:16at the front. With his health running low,
00:36:18he had less than two hours to find the
00:36:20portal. Quinn fell to his knees
00:36:22in despair. He felt like this was
00:36:24his last chance. There was no
00:36:26way he had the time to go walking around the city,
00:36:28looking for another room with a portal.
00:36:301 of 50 HP.
00:36:32So this is how my life ends, huh?
00:36:34Quinn said. Mom, Dad,
00:36:36why did you leave me on my own?
00:36:38Why did you give me this book?
00:36:40I thought when I got this book, maybe I might be able
00:36:42to change something, but I guess not.
00:36:44Then, the final hour had passed.
00:36:460 of 50 HP.
00:36:48HP has reached 0 due to hunger.
00:36:50Transformation will now begin.
00:36:52That night, Borden struggled to
00:36:54sleep, just like every other night.
00:36:56He couldn't remember the last time he got a good night's
00:36:58sleep. That's when he felt a slight tug
00:37:00on his arm. Hey, wake up, kid!
00:37:02Looks like you were having a nightmare, Ian said.
00:37:04As Borden opened his eyes, he looked
00:37:06around and noticed that he was still in the
00:37:08pitch black room. Oh, sorry about that.
00:37:10I hope I wasn't making too much noise,
00:37:12Borden replied. Well, this is a scary
00:37:14place. A kid like you shouldn't be here on
00:37:16their own in the first place, so don't worry about it,
00:37:18said Ian. Do you mind if we swap for a bit?
00:37:20Ian then switched places with Borden.
00:37:22While Ian lied on the uncomfortable
00:37:24hard floor, Borden would look out for
00:37:26the gaps in the bookshelf, keeping watch.
00:37:28Hey, Borden, if you aren't going to
00:37:30kill him now, what about when we find the portal?
00:37:32Brayton asked. The advanced crystal
00:37:34he is carrying would be very helpful to us
00:37:36and no one would find out. You've seen
00:37:38how weak he is, and now we have his ability,
00:37:40it would be easy to finish him off.
00:37:42While I'm in charge, nobody gets hurt, Borden
00:37:44replied, getting annoyed. After
00:37:46waiting what felt like an entire day,
00:37:48it seemed like Ian had finally woken up.
00:37:50I'm telling you I can't wait to
00:37:52get home, Ian said. Borden
00:37:54turned around to look to Ian, seeing that
00:37:56he was struggling to get up. He offered his
00:37:58hand once again and pulled him up from the floor.
00:38:00But as Ian got off the ground, his face
00:38:02suddenly dropped. In one of the holes
00:38:04he had made, all that could be seen was a
00:38:06single large eyeball looking through.
00:38:08Ian immediately went to his waist
00:38:10and grabbed a small dagger, throwing it at
00:38:12the beast's eye. Then, when he pulled his
00:38:14hand back, the dagger flew back into his
00:38:16hand. Let's get out of here,
00:38:18Ian shouted, as he kicked one of the shelves,
00:38:20knocking it over. As the two of them
00:38:22climbed on top of the fallen shelf,
00:38:24they could see that they had been surrounded.
00:38:26I thought you were keeping a lookout, Ian said.
00:38:28I was, but the small space would only
00:38:30let me see so far. They were completely
00:38:32surrounded, not just around them,
00:38:34but also above as well. A few of the
00:38:36slug creatures dropped from above, while
00:38:38the ones around them reached out with their tentacles.
00:38:40There were too many attacks at once.
00:38:42Ian then held out both of his hands with
00:38:44his palms open. Objects from all
00:38:46over the library started to vibrate.
00:38:48Stay close to me, kid, Ian commanded,
00:38:50and Borden did as he was told.
00:38:52Repel! At that moment, the
00:38:54ball exploded with an incredible force.
00:38:56Little pieces of scrap metal were
00:38:58flung out so hard, it had caused
00:39:00several puncture wounds in the beast's body,
00:39:02killing them all as it went through their
00:39:04brains and hearts. Good thing this planet is
00:39:06covered in metal, huh? Ian said with a
00:39:08smile on his face. Come on then, let's
00:39:10not waste these crystals. The two of them
00:39:12went up to the dead slugs and started to
00:39:14carve out the crystals. After gathering
00:39:16the crystals, Ian had handed Borden
00:39:18half of them. Here, take it.
00:39:20I can't, I didn't do anything.
00:39:22Look, these are only basic tier crystals.
00:39:24I could earn these in my sleep. Fine,
00:39:26Borden said. Then, finally, the two of them
00:39:28spotted something. You see that?
00:39:30Now, if I was going to put a portal anywhere,
00:39:32I would put it in there, Ian said,
00:39:34pointing at the large dome building.
00:39:36What is it? Borden asked. Looks like a training
00:39:38center. That's exactly what it is,
00:39:40and it looks like it was well built.
00:39:42The beasts around here haven't even been able
00:39:44to scratch it, and it's big enough to build a
00:39:46secret base underneath. The two of them continued
00:39:48walking forward with their next destination
00:39:50in sight, the training center.
00:39:54Hi, Quinn here.
00:39:56Wondering what happens next?
00:39:58If you want to jump the queue and unleash all
00:40:00episodes, click on the link here
00:40:02and install the Pocket FM app.
00:40:08Just outside the large
00:40:10dome-like building, Borden and Ian
00:40:12were preparing to enter. The front
00:40:14of the dome was an open field, filled with
00:40:16all sorts of junk. It looked like a
00:40:18battle had taken place outside.
00:40:20More dead rataclaws, another group
00:40:22of them even. Ian then dipped his
00:40:24finger into the black blood. It doesn't look like
00:40:26they have been dead for long. Looks like someone's
00:40:28already in there. The two
00:40:30of them, now inside and with the door
00:40:32shut, noticed something. It was
00:40:34incredibly dark inside the training center.
00:40:36As Ian took a step forward,
00:40:38he could hear the sound of glass cracking.
00:40:40Now why would someone go to the
00:40:42trouble to take out all the lights? Ian said.
00:40:44Maybe it was a person who came in before
00:40:46us. Maybe. Here, take
00:40:48this, Ian said, as he chucked
00:40:50over a small pebble-like item.
00:40:52As Borden tapped it once, a small orange
00:40:54glow emitted from the stone and surrounded
00:40:56him. What about you?
00:40:58Ian then pulled out another stone,
00:41:00tapping it before putting it on his waist.
00:41:02Now, are you going to tell me about what just happened,
00:41:04or are you going to keep that secret as well?
00:41:06No secrets. My ability
00:41:08allows me to copy other abilities. I
00:41:10copied it when I saw you use it at the library.
00:41:12Hmm, that's kinda cool.
00:41:14I wish I could do something like that, Ian said.
00:41:16Come on, let's go.
00:41:18The two of them continued to walk along the dark
00:41:20hall. Psst, hey, Borden,
00:41:22this is your last chance. Switch with me
00:41:24now, Rayton said. If the
00:41:26portal's in here, I can save you the hard work
00:41:28and kill him straight away. Buzz off,
00:41:30will you? Fine, that was
00:41:32your last chance. The two
00:41:34of them had finally arrived at the reception room.
00:41:36Each of the lights above were
00:41:38smashed in. Grrrr!
00:41:40As soon as they entered,
00:41:42fierce growl started coming from the hallway.
00:41:44Grrrr!
00:41:46A loud screech echoed through
00:41:48the entire arena as the creature had
00:41:50spotted its prey and was now running
00:41:52full force towards them. Transformation
00:41:54will now begin. As soon as
00:41:56this message appeared, a shooting pain could
00:41:58be felt all over Quinn's body.
00:42:00The white of his eyes slowly started to fill
00:42:02with black, and his teeth started to grow
00:42:04in size. His nails grew slightly
00:42:06larger, and his skin started to form
00:42:08around his body even tighter.
00:42:10Your mind is unstable. Your bloodlust
00:42:12has reached its maximum level.
00:42:14You are now a crazed bloodsucker.
00:42:16All stats will be doubled. Health
00:42:18will be halved. While in this form,
00:42:20all blood skills are unavailable.
00:42:22After transforming into the bloodsucker,
00:42:24Quinn's thoughts, his emotions,
00:42:26everything that made him human were gone.
00:42:28His body acted on its own,
00:42:30and that single thought of blood
00:42:32occupied him. Then, a few moments later,
00:42:34Vorden and Ian had
00:42:36entered the room. As the beast held
00:42:38out its claws, Ian too came out
00:42:40with his fists. You want a battle with
00:42:42strength, then? However,
00:42:44the beast's hands had wrapped around Ian's fist
00:42:46and stopped them in its tracks.
00:42:48Then, using its nails, it dug
00:42:50into Ian's fist, drawing out blood.
00:42:52As it smelled the blood fall from
00:42:54Ian's hands, it started to growl and
00:42:56screech even more. It opened
00:42:58its mouth, revealing two huge fangs.
00:43:00Then the beast lifted both of its legs
00:43:02off the ground and kicked Ian away,
00:43:04causing him to fly into the nearby
00:43:06wall. It started to rush
00:43:08forward as it saw Ian was injured,
00:43:10but before it could reach him, a metal chair
00:43:12from the stand came flying out from
00:43:14the side and knocked the beast away.
00:43:16Vorden quickly rushed to Ian's side
00:43:18and lifted him off the ground.
00:43:20Thanks, kid. What was that?
00:43:22Vorden asked. I don't know. I've
00:43:24never seen anything like it, but it looked like
00:43:26a humanoid-type beast, Ian replied.
00:43:28The chair didn't keep the beast
00:43:30down for long, as the smell of blood was
00:43:32too strong. Turn on your light stone,
00:43:34Ian said. As the two
00:43:36of them turned on the light stone, the beast
00:43:38suddenly stopped. It covered its eyes
00:43:40and backed away from the two.
00:43:42It looks like I was right, said Ian.
00:43:44That beast must have been the one to take out all the lights.
00:43:46It looks like it's super sensitive.
00:43:48But the two were foolish, thinking the
00:43:50light stones would be enough to keep the bloodsucker
00:43:52away from its prey.
00:43:54The beast didn't need to rely on its eyesight
00:43:56to know where the two were. The smell
00:43:58of Ian's blood was enough.
00:44:00From the stands, it started to rip out the chairs
00:44:02and proceed to hurl them at the two.
00:44:04Luckily, the chairs were made out of
00:44:06metal material, so Ian and Vorden
00:44:08were able to repel them away.
00:44:10The chairs continued to be chucked at an
00:44:12incredible rate, as each one was ripped
00:44:14from the stands. Then,
00:44:16the beast decided to rush forward with its
00:44:18eyes closed. As it got close to the two,
00:44:20it started to attack them blindly.
00:44:22How does it know where we are? Ian said.
00:44:24Vorden, get out of there!
00:44:26Raiden said. What do you mean?
00:44:28Vorden asked. Can't you see?
00:44:30The beast is only attacking Ian. Something is
00:44:32attracting it to Ian.
00:44:34Hearing Raiden's words, Vorden decided to
00:44:36break away from Ian and ran down to the
00:44:38arena floor, and just like he said,
00:44:40the beast had completely ignored Vorden
00:44:42and had continued to attack Ian.
00:44:44We have to help him! Raiden, switch
00:44:46with me! No! Raiden replied.
00:44:48We could die! You had your chance
00:44:50before. It's time you learn your lesson.
00:44:52Get out of this one yourself, Vorden.
00:44:54Then, a new voice was heard
00:44:56from within. I will help you.
00:44:58Ian and the beast continued
00:45:00to do battle. Unfortunately for
00:45:02Ian, the only source of metal he could
00:45:04control in the arena were the chairs, and it
00:45:06took him some time to attract things
00:45:08toward him. He had two chairs
00:45:10out from the stands, and would use them as
00:45:12shield, blocking the beast's attacks.
00:45:14However, every time the beast
00:45:16would hit with its fist, it would completely
00:45:18tear through the chairs. The attacks
00:45:20were too powerful. Then,
00:45:22the beast leapt through the air with its fangs
00:45:24wide open. Ian had no choice
00:45:26but to shove his forearm into the beast's mouth,
00:45:28hoping to avoid a fatal blow.
00:45:30He screamed in pain.
00:45:32Blood is being consumed.
00:45:3410 of 100. 14 of
00:45:36100. 25 of 100.
00:45:38As the beast was
00:45:40busy feasting on its meal, it was unable
00:45:42to notice the flying sharp object
00:45:44coming toward it. Like a spear,
00:45:46a metal flying object had come out
00:45:48and pierced the beast's shoulder.
00:45:50The blow was fast and powerful, knocking
00:45:52him off Ian. I just want to find
00:45:54my pet Quinn, the little one said.
00:45:57Hi, Quinn here.
00:45:59Wondering what happens next?

00:46:11The paralysis effect
00:46:13from the bloodsucker was slowly starting to
00:46:15wear off, and as it did, Ian
00:46:17lifted himself off the ground to have
00:46:19a look at just what was going on.
00:46:21In the center of the arena, the arena was lit
00:46:23up by the small glowstone where
00:46:25Vorden was standing. As the
00:46:27bloodsucker lifted himself off the ground,
00:46:29he pulled the metal object that had been
00:46:31lodged into his shoulder and dropped it
00:46:33onto the floor.
00:46:35Instead of going in straight
00:46:37for an attack and charging in, though,
00:46:39the bloodsucker dug its claw into the
00:46:41wall and started to climb upwards.
00:46:43How are we meant to see him now?
00:46:45said Vorden. It's too dark and the beast
00:46:47can attack from anywhere. He lifted
00:46:49his hands and started to crumble up each
00:46:51of the chairs into several metal spikes,
00:46:53all looming above his head.
00:46:55The other spears that were targeted had managed
00:46:57to penetrate him, going through his body
00:46:59and sticking him to the ceiling of the dome.
00:47:01However, the hole marks that could
00:47:03be seen in his body quickly healed up.
00:47:05This thing, why isn't it dead yet?
00:47:07Vorden said. Its eyes
00:47:09were slowly adjusting to the light that had
00:47:11surrounded Vorden, and now it could see
00:47:13the spikes as it left his side.
00:47:15The bloodsucker continued to move forward,
00:47:17avoiding each and every spike thrown at it.
00:47:19Then, when it was close enough,
00:47:21it swung its claw out.
00:47:23As it took a step forward, though, it felt
00:47:25something sharp pierce into its foot.
00:47:27As the beast looked down, it was
00:47:29another metal spike. It looked
00:47:31in the distance and noticed that Ian had
00:47:33managed to recover. Suddenly, though,
00:47:35tears started to fall from the little one's face.
00:47:37Now that the beast was close enough,
00:47:39the light from the stone shone
00:47:41and reviled the face and clothes
00:47:43of the beast. The beast
00:47:45in front of him was wearing the same uniform,
00:47:47and although it didn't look exactly like
00:47:49Quinn, it had similar qualities
00:47:51in its face. He didn't know what happened
00:47:53to make Quinn turn into a creature like this,
00:47:55but he could feel that the beast and Quinn
00:47:57was the same person.
00:47:59What are you doing? Ian shouted. Kill it!
00:48:01Ian then pulled out his trusty dagger,
00:48:03ready to attack, but when he
00:48:05looked in front of him, the beast had vanished from
00:48:07his view. The next second, he was staring
00:48:09up at the ceiling with his back on the floor.
00:48:11Then, when he looked down at his body,
00:48:13his legs were now completely detached
00:48:15from himself, blood pouring from them.
00:48:17The bloodsucker then dragged the top
00:48:19half of Ian's body away into the
00:48:21hallway out of the arena, afraid
00:48:23that the other person might disturb its meal.
00:48:25The students had just been
00:48:27informed that the portal expedition that was
00:48:29meant to be going on today would be cancelled.
00:48:31Layla had been planning to confront Peter
00:48:33on the situation, especially since
00:48:35he had been acting so strangely, but
00:48:37before she could even get to him, he had already
00:48:39run away. Come on, Aaron, let's go
00:48:41find out what he's hiding, Layla said.
00:48:43But as she took a few steps forward,
00:48:45she noticed that Aaron wasn't following her.
00:48:47I have no need to get involved in
00:48:49your affairs, Aaron replied.
00:48:51You and Vorden are clearly the strongest in the
00:48:53class, and if you want to outperform the others
00:48:55from the other classes, you're going to have to
00:48:57team up with each other. After hearing
00:48:59Layla's last words, her eyes suddenly
00:49:01lit up. Let's go find that rat.
00:49:03As they continued to search for
00:49:05Peter, they still couldn't find him,
00:49:07but they did find a group of people who might have known
00:49:09where he was. It was Earl
00:49:11and his group of five other boys.
00:49:13Haven't I seen them hang around with Peter a few times
00:49:15at breakfast? The group were
00:49:17inside one of the training centers.
00:49:19If Layla was on her own, she would have
00:49:21never approached the group, but she had Aaron
00:49:23by her side. We're not here looking
00:49:25for trouble, just wondering if you knew where Peter was,
00:49:27she said, putting on a fake smile.
00:49:29The group looked at each other and
00:49:31started to laugh. Peter, Earl
00:49:33said. I wouldn't be surprised if that kid
00:49:35tried running out of the city by now.
00:49:37Anyway, buzz off, you two, we're not saying a single
00:49:39thing. If you want to find Peter, then go find
00:49:41him yourself. Aaron then started to walk
00:49:43up to the group of five. I don't want
00:49:45to waste any more time. Before
00:49:47the other students could even react,
00:49:49she had already thrown the ice spear, hitting
00:49:51Earl on his shoulder and pinning him against
00:49:53one of the drums that were used to show a student's
00:49:55power. As Earl's body
00:49:57landed on the drum, the number started
00:49:59to rise until it eventually stopped at
00:50:0120. The group watching this
00:50:03knew she was strong, but the machine
00:50:05had only confirmed their fears.
00:50:07However, she didn't care. She
00:50:09then placed both of her hands on the ground
00:50:11and a trail of ice started to appear,
00:50:13traveling across the floor, eventually
00:50:15reaching the group's legs and freezing
00:50:17them all in place. Now,
00:50:19which one of you is going to tell me what I want
00:50:21to know first? Aaron said.
00:50:23Wait, I'll tell you everything.
00:50:25I don't know where Peter is. He was meant
00:50:27to meet us here a while ago, but he never showed up.
00:50:29Peter, we're not sure exactly
00:50:31what happened, but we heard he pushed
00:50:33Borden into a portal. That's all we know.
00:50:35We don't know why Quinn is missing as well.
00:50:37Of course, Earl was the one who
00:50:39was behind everything. He and his group
00:50:41had given Peter the instructions to
00:50:43push Borden into the portal. When
00:50:45they had heard the news that two students were missing
00:50:47and confirmed Borden was one of them,
00:50:49they thought Peter had done what he asked.
00:50:51Unknown to them,
00:50:53Peter hadn't actually pushed Borden,
00:50:55but Quinn instead. The ice will
00:50:57melt in a couple of hours, or maybe someone
00:50:59in the room with an ability can help you.
00:51:01That's your punishment for making me wait
00:51:03instead of telling this girl what she
00:51:05wanted straight away. As Aaron
00:51:07walked off exiting out of the training
00:51:09center, Layla quickly followed behind her.
00:51:11Thanks for that.
00:51:13That wasn't for you. I just hate it
00:51:15when guys think they're better than us.
00:51:17Better show people like that their place.
00:51:19Just then though, as the two of them were about
00:51:21to exit through the doors, the door opened
00:51:23inward and a familiar face was seen.
00:51:25It was Peter.
00:51:29Hi, Quinn here.
00:51:31Wondering what happens next?
00:51:33If you want to jump the queue and unleash
00:51:35all episodes, click on the link
00:51:37here and install the Pocket FM app.
00:51:43Immediately seeing Layla standing
00:51:45there, Peter went running off, but
00:51:47Aaron had reached out and grabbed him by the collar,
00:51:49pulling him back. She then slammed
00:51:51him up against the wall. Before he could
00:51:53even think about running away again, she
00:51:55placed her hands on his and started
00:51:57to freeze him. Peter, tell us
00:51:59the truth. Did you really push Borden into
00:52:01the portal? She asked.
00:52:03What are you going to do? Hit me? Peter replied.
00:52:05Because trust me, I have already had
00:52:07my fair share of pain. Whatever you
00:52:09plan to do to me, go ahead. Aaron then
00:52:11started to form a small little
00:52:13needle-shaped ice pick in her hand.
00:52:15Really? I'm sure there are a few
00:52:17places I could stick this in which would
00:52:19leave you wishing you'd kill yourself.
00:52:21Peter, I thought they were your friends.
00:52:23You know, every day Quinn would ask about
00:52:25how you were to me. Why didn't
00:52:27you just tell him or even just tell us
00:52:29what was happening? You don't know
00:52:31what would happen if I told you guys.
00:52:33You go beat them up, then what? They would
00:52:35just come back for revenge. But do you
00:52:37think they would go after you, Aaron or Borden?
00:52:39No, of course not. They would go after
00:52:41me. Peter then started to break
00:52:43down into tears. I didn't want
00:52:45to do it. I didn't have a choice.
00:52:47Layla had clenched her fist
00:52:49and was ready to punch Peter in the face.
00:52:51Seeing Peter's tearful face,
00:52:53she dropped her hand down to her side.
00:52:55You're not even worth hitting, Peter.
00:52:57You disgust me. She then
00:52:59turned and walked off and had one last
00:53:01word. You always have a choice.
00:53:03Inside one of the
00:53:05meeting rooms located in the first year building,
00:53:07a meeting had been called.
00:53:09Currently sitting at the head of the table was Nathan
00:53:11and by his side was Faye,
00:53:13who had been in charge of the investigation
00:53:15of the missing two students.
00:53:17As they waited, several other teachers started
00:53:19to enter the room. Del, who was
00:53:21Borden and Quinn's homeroom teacher,
00:53:23Leo, who was the beast weapons teacher,
00:53:25and finally Haley, the school's doctor.
00:53:27Faye, would you please inform the others
00:53:29of why they have been called here today?
00:53:31Nathan asked. Faye then stood up
00:53:33with a report held in her hand.
00:53:35As you have been made aware, two of our
00:53:37students have gone missing and due to that,
00:53:39we have had to delay the first year's outing.
00:53:41However, if this was a simple missing
00:53:43person's case, we would not have called you
00:53:45all out here today. Faye
00:53:47then pressed a button on her controller
00:53:49and a hologram appeared, revealing a certain
00:53:51planet and around it, there were two moons.
00:53:53The missing students seem to have
00:53:55entered into a portal, but not just
00:53:57any portal, a red portal.
00:53:59How or why, we do not know,
00:54:01but one of the students was Borden Blade,
00:54:03an original from a powerful family.
00:54:05The mission is not to bring him back alive,
00:54:07but to at least bring his body back.
00:54:09That way the family can say their
00:54:11goodbyes and it should calm down their anger.
00:54:13What about the other student?
00:54:15Leo asked. The other student is not
00:54:17a priority. He goes by the name of
00:54:19Quinn Talon, a weak level one with
00:54:21no family or an orphan. There is
00:54:23no need to worry about him.
00:54:25Do you know where the portal leads to? Haley asked.
00:54:27As you can see in the diagram,
00:54:29the red portal leads to an abandoned
00:54:31planet named Pioletic.
00:54:33It was one of the very first planets the human
00:54:35race had ever created a shelter on.
00:54:37It was safe for the most part, but as the
00:54:39place was filled with weak beasts.
00:54:41However, that was until a year had passed
00:54:43and nightfall had come. Beasts
00:54:45stronger than we had ever seen before
00:54:47came and attacked the shelter.
00:54:49We had no choice but to abandon the place.
00:54:51Faye explained. This is why we
00:54:53have called you four, Nathan said as he
00:54:55stood up. The four of you will head out through
00:54:57the red portal immediately. Don't worry,
00:54:59our latest reports say that the beasts
00:55:01that attacked the shelter have long since
00:55:03moved on. The place is mostly filled
00:55:05with ratacross scum and the odd
00:55:07intermediate beast here and there.
00:55:09Del slammed his fist onto the table.
00:55:11Why should we risk our lives for a
00:55:13couple of students who may have just jumped into the portal
00:55:15themselves? Would you like
00:55:17to be the one to go to the Blade family and
00:55:19explain to them why their son has died and gone
00:55:21missing? How, even though we insisted
00:55:23on these watches to keep track of where
00:55:25they are, we still weren't able to keep an eye on
00:55:27them? Nathan said. This is
00:55:29an order, not a request.
00:55:31Meanwhile, Layla was still
00:55:33worrying over Quinn. Don't worry too
00:55:35much, Aaron said. If Vorden is
00:55:37with him, he will protect his friend. But she
00:55:39was more worried that Vorden might be used as
00:55:41an emergency ration during the trip,
00:55:43more than anything. As they were walking
00:55:45through the hallway, they noticed that a group
00:55:47of students were gossiping, and as they
00:55:49walked past, they heard Vorden's name
00:55:51being mentioned. What did you say?
00:55:53Layla asked. Would you mind repeating that?
00:55:55We were just talking about the
00:55:57missing students. Dumbo here has the
00:55:59ability of superhearing, and had heard in
00:56:01the meeting saying that Vorden was stuck on a
00:56:03red portal planet. Do you remember
00:56:05anything else? The name of the planet?
00:56:07If another student went with them? Aaron
00:56:09said. Um, yeah.
00:56:11They said the planet's name was Pioletic,
00:56:13and they said something about Quinn being there
00:56:15as well. Layla then got
00:56:17out of Dumbo's face, and immediately
00:56:19started rushing towards her room.
00:56:21I'm sorry, Aaron, I've gotta run somewhere.
00:56:23Thanks for all the help.
00:56:25Layla had rushed off towards her dorm
00:56:27room as quickly as she could, after
00:56:29hearing about what planet they were on.
00:56:31As she entered the room, she locked the door
00:56:33behind her, and placed a chair on the handle.
00:56:35Her roommate luckily wasn't in
00:56:37at the moment. She then bent down under
00:56:39her bed, and pulled out a small little box.
00:56:41As she opened the box, a circular
00:56:43black sphere-shaped ball was inside.
00:56:45She then tapped the top of the sphere,
00:56:47and a clicking sound was heard.
00:56:49A white ring started to light up, and went
00:56:51around in circles for a few seconds,
00:56:53before it finally completely lit up.
00:56:55Agent 83, what seems
00:56:57to be the problem? A voice said from the
00:56:59ball. Is it to do with the mission?
00:57:01I have found someone who would be of great
00:57:03help in our cause. However,
00:57:05it appears he is stuck somewhere. Would you
00:57:07be able to check if there are any agents on a planet
00:57:09named Pioletic? Layla asked.
00:57:11Give me a few moments. I'm afraid
00:57:13all our agents have left that planet a while
00:57:15ago. Is there anything else I can help you
00:57:17with? No, that is it. Thank you.
00:57:19Layla said. Then may I wish you luck
00:57:21in your mission. May Pure be with you.
00:57:23May Pure be with you. Layla
00:57:25replied.
00:57:39You saw the Pocket FM app.
00:57:45As Vorden jumped into the
00:57:47red portal, he felt a tingling
00:57:49sensation all over his body.
00:57:51A few moments later, Vorden had arrived.
00:57:53He opened his eyes, and the first thing he
00:57:55noticed was the place was incredibly
00:57:57dark. Vorden then started to
00:57:59look at his surroundings. It was strange
00:58:01to see building structures around them.
00:58:03When there was building work, it would
00:58:05usually be Dalki structure, but
00:58:07it was clearly not Dalki based.
00:58:09Aren't the red portals meant to be unsheltered
00:58:11planets? This place looks like a broken
00:58:13shelter. I think you are
00:58:15forgetting something, Rayton said.
00:58:17While orange may mean it's in the process
00:58:19of being taken over and sheltered being
00:58:21places, red can also mean it's
00:58:23too dangerous to build a shelter in the first
00:58:25place. You have basically given us
00:58:27a death sentence. What do you mean?
00:58:29Vorden asked. Are you really being
00:58:31so stupid? Sure, you might have run
00:58:33through that portal so you didn't kill your friend,
00:58:35but what's the point if we die instead?
00:58:37Then, a thought came
00:58:39to Vorden's mind. Quinn.
00:58:41The portal was unable to send
00:58:43you to a pinpoint location, but
00:58:45it did put you in the same general area,
00:58:47at least within ten miles of each other.
00:58:49For now, Vorden would look
00:58:51for a portal back to the academy while
00:58:53also searching for Quinn.
00:58:55Somewhere on the same planet, Quinn
00:58:57had also arrived. His heart
00:58:59was beating rapidly as it was the first
00:59:01time he had experienced such a thing.
00:59:03Peter, what the hell
00:59:05was that? Quinn thought.
00:59:07Damn it, he must have pushed me through the portal.
00:59:09Where am I? As Quinn looked
00:59:11around, he could see the similar buildings
00:59:13around him all crumbled, torn, and
00:59:15fallen down. The place looked like
00:59:17a city it once existed, but had been
00:59:19left behind for years. However,
00:59:21there was one saving grace about the
00:59:23whole thing. On the planet, it was currently
00:59:25nighttime, meaning Quinn
00:59:27didn't feel weak and had a better chance of
00:59:29surviving. However, before
00:59:31Quinn had even moved from the spot he was in,
00:59:33he spotted something from the corner
00:59:35of his eye. Quinn tried to follow
00:59:37whatever it was with his eyes, but it would
00:59:39constantly move around until it had
00:59:41eventually stopped, just underneath a
00:59:43pile of rubble from one of the buildings.
00:59:45Quinn started to back away,
00:59:47making sure to keep an eye on where
00:59:49he last saw the figure. Then
00:59:51when he was a safe enough distance away,
00:59:53he finally turned around.
00:59:55In that instant, a sound could be
00:59:57heard from behind. Quinn immediately
00:59:59turned around and could see a horrible
01:00:01figure running towards him.
01:00:03It clearly wasn't an ordinary animal
01:00:05and something he had only ever seen in books
01:00:07and TV. It
01:00:09was a beast. Suddenly,
01:00:11Quinn could hear the sounds of something
01:00:13scurrying towards him at an amazing speed.
01:00:15As he turned, the beast was now
01:00:17in full sight. When the creature was
01:00:19a few feet away, it leapt in the air
01:00:21and claws appeared from the creature's two front
01:00:23limbs. Quinn, almost out of
01:00:25instinct, swiped his hand, letting out
01:00:27a blood swipe. The attack managed to
01:00:29hit the beast and sent it flying back.
01:00:31Name, Rattaclaw.
01:00:33Basic tier beast.
01:00:35HP?
01:00:37Unlike with humans,
01:00:39when Quinn used the status screen,
01:00:41it would show their HP and blood type,
01:00:43but in this case, he had only received
01:00:45a name and the level of the beast.
01:00:47Seeing the tier of the beast though,
01:00:49Quinn started to feel a little less frightened.
01:00:51The Rattaclaw had recovered
01:00:53and charred straight for Quinn once again,
01:00:55seeing how the blood swipe was
01:00:57effective, he waited for the beast to get
01:00:59close once again. Blood swipe!
01:01:01But Quinn had underestimated
01:01:03the speed and the responsiveness of the
01:01:05Rattaclaw. Defense 1.
01:01:07Durability of weapon has decreased
01:01:09by 50%. Strength
01:01:11has fallen to 3.
01:01:13You little crap, get off me!
01:01:15Quinn shouted as he started swinging his arm.
01:01:17With the beast stuck to his arm,
01:01:19it was too dangerous for him to use blood swipe
01:01:21and too close for him to perform a
01:01:23hammer strike. All that was left
01:01:25was to do it the old-fashioned way.
01:01:27Quinn then started to repeatedly pound
01:01:29the beast on its head with his other hand.
01:01:31With each blow, black blood
01:01:33would gush out of the beast.
01:01:35The blows were powerful and damaging to the
01:01:37beast, and with each strike, the grip
01:01:39started to loosen.
01:01:41If you had just stayed away, you could have lived!
01:01:43Quinn shouted as he continued to punch the beast
01:01:45until finally its grip had come
01:01:47loose and it had fallen to the ground.
01:01:49Basic tier beast Rattaclaw
01:01:51has been defeated. 100
01:01:53EXP points gained.
01:01:55In a way, beasts were a goldmine
01:01:57for his system. Congratulations,
01:01:59you are now level 5. Race
01:02:01Halfling. HP 30
01:02:03of 30. 40 of 1600
01:02:05EXP. Strength
01:02:0713. 2. Agility
01:02:0915. Stamina
01:02:1112. Strength 14.
01:02:132. But the system still had
01:02:15one more surprise for him.
01:02:17New skill unlocked. Blood spray.
01:02:19Cost
01:02:21Minus 5 HP.
01:02:23The skill reminded Quinn of a shotgun
01:02:25he used to watch from the old movies
01:02:27where the small pellets would spread
01:02:29out hitting multiple targets.
01:02:31The problem was the cost of the skill.
01:02:335 HP was a huge amount
01:02:35and even with his blood bank,
01:02:37Quinn would have to be careful when using it.
01:02:39Quinn then walked up to the
01:02:41dead beast on the ground. He had punched
01:02:43the creature so hard in the skull,
01:02:45it was indented and blood was leaking
01:02:47everywhere. Inspect.
01:02:49Raticlaw blood. If blood is
01:02:51consumed, is poisonous to the body.
01:02:53Minus 1 HP for every
01:02:55millimeter of blood consumed.
01:02:57I wonder why my body only accepts human blood.
01:02:59The system had been
01:03:01oddly specific when his body started
01:03:03to require blood. This made
01:03:05Quinn think that even the blood of animals
01:03:07wouldn't work, even though some were red
01:03:09in color just like humans.
01:03:11Suddenly though, the sound of something running
01:03:13was heard again as Quinn looked up,
01:03:15to the sight of 10 Raticlaws running in his
01:03:17direction. After struggling to face
01:03:19just against one, he knew he
01:03:21had no chance against 10.
01:03:23All he could do was run. He ran
01:03:25down the empty street, not knowing where
01:03:27he was heading. But the Raticlaws
01:03:29were fast, and would soon catch up.
01:03:31That's when Quinn spotted a building.
01:03:33One that was far less damaged
01:03:35than the others. He went inside,
01:03:37but the space was still too large.
01:03:39He then spotted a stairway to his right
01:03:41nearby. After quickly
01:03:43running up the stairway and reaching the first
01:03:45platform, he stopped and turned.
01:03:47He knew he had no choice but to
01:03:49fight back. With his palm open
01:03:51facing downward, he was ready.
01:03:53Time to test you out.
