[Change of POV(point of view)]
Inside a small stone square room 3 humans materialized. The first had around 25 years old, 1.72cm in height, tanned Caucasian, with a clean shave and brown hair. He was wearing a simple leather armor, and a holster with a "Taurus Model 608", and a backpack in his back. His name was Kano, he looked at the other 2 people while saying.
"It's good to be together again"
The other 2 were a male and a female.The male had around 30 years, Caucasian, tall, around 1.79 meters in height,, big and fat, but without the fat belly, with a shaved black hair and big full beard. He was wearing a overcoat with a hood, Inside it was possible to see a leather armor and a simple "Glock" pistol. He was also wearing a backpack.
The female had around 30 years, Hispanic, 1.59 meters in height, with a big and beautiful brunette hair . She was wearing a leather armor, and no apparent weapon.
The male was called Wolf and while looking at the female with a smile he said.
"Yeah we are lucky to be together again. Right íris my love?
"Yes Honey." Answered iris while tiptoeing to give him a kiss on the cheek.
The room had only one exit, and while examining it Kano said.
"Just like last time, only one exit, but we are together again, at least. Let's go have a look around"
Agreeing, the proceeded through the path. At the end they found that they were in a dense forest. the humidity was high, and the temperature was around 15°c. Thanks to the knowledge he had, Wolf new it would be really cold during the night, and there currently cloths wouldn't be enough. They decided to have a look around first.
After walking around a little, they heard howls of wolves.
"It's a "Timber wolf" also know as "Gray wolves". However by the howl it's only one, which makes it very strange since they always hunt in packs. Keep your eyes open, and if you see him, don't make too much noise or display any hostile action, just tell me." Said Wolf.
Soon enough the wolf appeared before then. And wolf finally discovered why he was alone. He was only a young wolf, his parents were probably killed by other predator, and now he was alone.
Wolf looked at the young wolf's eyes and casted a spell. The alert wolf became tranquil, and looked at Wolf's eyes as if he was a friend. Wolf approached the young wolf and started to pat him. He then took some dried meat from his beg, and feed the wolf.
After pacifying the wolf he casted another magic and concentrated for some time. Both looked at each other as if they were talking. After some time, Wolf turned while saying.
"Well, his name is now Troy, and said he is alone and that he would like to come with us. What do you guys think?"
"Did you just talk with the wolf? Is that the new abilities you got from the system?" Asked Íris.
"Yes, I can pacify and interact with then now."
With a new companion, they continue to travel around, looking for a safe place where they could stay the week. Kano had bought some knowledge about woodlands, but since he only new the basics he was having a hard time to find a place to stay.
Along the way they didn't find many animals, and they found something else, and probably what killed Troy's parents. Undead.
Since the undead only came in small numbers of 1 to 3. they normally divided the work to train. Kano summoned one medium air elemental when fighting. Wolf, would fight with Troy and use shape-shifting magic to fight together. Iris, used fire magic, and healing when needed.
After around 2 hours searching, they stopped next to a stream to drink and refuel their water. When they were getting ready to leave, they heard gunshots in the distance.
"It's a "AK-47", I am sure of it" Said Kano while listening to the sound.
They decided to follow the sound and see what was making it. They didn't walk far, when they arrived at the top of the small hill. They saw not far from then, a humanoid, with military armor and a "M249" firing. Next to him there were 2 humanoids, 1 around 2.5 meters with plate armor and a huge axe. The other was a blond man, with leather armor and a "Mk.17 SCAR-H" rifle.
Kano looked around for the person with a "AK-47". but he could not see anyone. "Maybe he has another friend close by." he through. [TRIVIA 1]
"What do you guys think? want to approach and see if they are interested in talking?" Asked Íris.
"I will go and try to talk with them from afar and see their reaction. If worst comes to it, I will call my elemental to distract them while we run."Suggested Kano.
Seeing they agree. Kano descended the hill a little in the 3 armed man direction. He noticed that the blond man noticed his presence and notified the man with military armor.
"Hi, friend." Said Kano, in english, while waving.
The man in military armor looked at Kano, and in Portuguese the man replied while removing his helmet.
"So you have been brought here too Kano."
When Kano saw who it was he could not believe.
"Fox?"
"Yo, long time no see. Are you here alone?"
"No, Wolf and Iris are here too. Oh and also Troy"
"Hey Fox." Said Wolf while he came from the other side of the hill.
"Hi, birdie" Said Íris.
"Hey Wolf, Iris, wait is that a wolf?"
"Yeah, his name is Troy. And i see you have 2 companions too"
"They are my servants.Well, it's a long story, but they aren't humans, they are ghouls. The blond one is John, and the other is Axe. Do you guys have the same mission? To survive 7 days?"
"Yes, we were looking for a place to stay the week. Did you find anything?"
"I was looking around first, but here in the woods it won't be good, if we start a fire to protect from the cold and animals, it will attract all the undead around us. So I suggest we look for a cave in the mountains north of here.We might find animals in the caves, but we can easy take care of then."
After deciding on the plan, they headed north, toward the mountains. After some time Fox couldn't take it and started to sing while lathing.
"Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep, and caverns old
We must away,'ere break of day
To find our long forgotten gold
…"
After noticing what Fox was singing. They started to laugh. Kano took this opportunity to ask about Fox first mission, especially that part about the bonus mission. When Fox told them that he killed the axeman easily with the grenades and the zombie, They were surprised. When Fox asked why, they said that they died, yes died.
"What? You guys DIED?" Asked Fox disbelieving?
"Yes, the first time we confronted him, we died a horrible death. I was even divided in half" Said Kano trying not to remember the moment of his death.
"If you guys died, how are you here?"
"It's the system, it even gives a message. The first death is free, the rest will cost you 10% of your soul. You will lose your memories, knowledge, abilities, etc, everytime you die. So we ended coming back to life, outside of the room, and on the second attempt we killed him" [TRIVIA 2]
"So Mark is still alive. Good. Wait, that means that Johnny also. I better keep a look out for him. But for precaution, I better hold his body until I find him." Fox through before saying.
"It's good that you guys are still alive. But you must be more careful next time."

1) At the time, Kano rolled a critical fail when he tried to check the gun he was hearing. and I told him he had to think he was completely right. We laughed a lot that day while he searched for a man with a "AK-47". Sure that it existed and it wasn't his imagination.
2)Kano had through they had made something incredible by killing the Axeman. However when Fox told then the tale of how he did it, he almost died again. XD
