Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Press Start

Tye blissfully slept through the first half of his bio class and would have slept through the last half if his best friend Leo didn't wake him up Tye growled but rose Leo knew better than to wake him for some pointless reason as Tye opened his eyes he saw a black screen.

Hello mortals this is us the divines Christian, Muslim, Greek, Roman, Norse, Hindu, even Pastafarian though he's more a snack for later than a guest. We have decided to gain more followers remember loyal followers will gain power to survive in this new world order. You have on hour to prepare before we input the new system into earth.

Time remaining:13 Minutes

Tye realized that this dream may be fun but it won't let him sleep as deeply. Still he tried to lay down before Leo without even looking punched him dead in the nuts Tye instantly went rigid before glaring with a single tear rolling down his cheek. He slowly processed the fact that he felt pain and he was still here, he wasn't dreaming. "The fuck is going on" He asked Leo "Hell if I know but everyone can see it and I would have woken you up earlier but I was trying to figure out how it worked."

Tye smiled something worth waking up for he pulled out his pencil and sharpened it to a point and started to do the same to his other pencils if something was coming this was his best weapon as he only used safety scissors due to how cheap they were. Leo saw what he was doing and copied him when his classmate asked and he explained some of the other class started to do the same. When the timer ran out Tye had donned his hoodie and filled his pockets with the pencils.

The system has started initial wave codename Thinning The Herd Activated.

Before Tye a bright blue shimmer appeared before dropping a wolf a real live fucking wolf in front of him. He turned and saw Leo got a slime and some others got wolves it was scattered throughout the class. Before another black screen appeared.

Survive

The monsters suddenly attacked Tye's wolf jumped forward with it's jaws wide Tye kicked his desk forward into it mouth before stabbing the pencil into it's neck over and over trying to get past the fur. Suddenly the pencil snapped and the wolf released Tye's now savaged desk and tore into his shoulder the adrenaline running through his system made the shoulder's intense pain into nothing but a dull roar.

Tye wrapped his arms around the wolf in a bear hug before charging into the nearest wall further damaging his right arm but stunning the wolf as it dropped to the floor with a howl allowing Tye to stomp onto it's head over and over until it burst.

Tye instantly turned to Leo the wolf was a difficult fight but mortal the slime was something else Tye and Leo were best friends and had each others backs no matter what. Fuck God's, monster's and that asshole who said Tye took his snickers in third grade he did but that little shit should have shut up.

Tye ran over to Leo who was beating the slime with his chair very ineffectually. Tye stood beside Leo and asked how was it going "The slime can't move when it's splattered but it can't die and i'm getting tired" Tye snickered "Attack his core it's the weakness of every slime ever." Tye explained causing Leo to drop his chair and facepalm before signalling to Tye.

They jumped on the slime reaching into it. Tye gasped as his hand started bleeding but kept reaching he couldn't reach it but he could move the slime "Move your hand and get ready Leo" after Leo moved his hand Tye threw the slime onto the floor and kicked the nearly see through core into the air where Leo hit it with his reclaimed chair. The core exploded and they took breaths before realizing their classmates where in trouble. Leo recommended they save Alec since he was on the football team and would help in this situation.

They charged the wolf that Alec was grappling with and each gripped weapons the now damaged chair in Leo's hand's and a pencil in Tye's one good hand. Tye stabbed the wolf's neck from the back causing it to go rigid before Leo hit a homerun on it's head Alec panted heavily and nodded to them before motioning to another somewhat muscled male youth Leo shook his head no and pointed to Cynthia a member of the kickboxing team no words were needed the went and helped her with her wolf before finding another skilled youth in this case the Cynthia's sister Alexandra who was also on the team and attacked her slime they continued this process until Tye's adrenaline wore of making him feel this pain from his bite wounds.

Tye asked for the bottom of Leo's shirt to make a tourniquet then wrap the bitten part of his hand in someone's clean gym shirt. After they killed all the monsters everyone sat down and took a body count. Out of the class of 35 with their teacher who was 36 the lost roughly 17 people their teacher was alive but severely injured in his legs. After a small rest period a new message appeared.

Congratulation the last class has finally killed their monsters prompting the next stage

Codename: The True Test

Suddenly a green slime the size of a taxicab slowly started to rise from the floor until yet another black screen appeared.

Defeat the boss, create a guild, become a legend also you know survive that seems important you know what just shoot for survival you'll do fine you guys.

Everyone looked at it warily before it suddenly turned into a wolf or a slime wolf at any rate as everyone gaped at it the wolf blurred a took out a student by taking of their head leaving nothing but her spine and nerve endings attached to the skull in it's mouth before it bit down suddenly crushing the head and creating a major explosion and making a new window this one acid green.

Territorial sacrifice completed by King Slime

Dungeon Territory Slimes gain 25% boost in defence and speed.

The surviving students scattered like bugs trying to run while the slime methodically cut them down. Some students decided enough was enough and jumped at the wolf slime deciding to pin it down forgetting that the slime could shapeshift which he did into his original form which was a large teardrop shape. Tye realised that many of his classmates were in fact dumbasses.

He thought as hard as he could of a plan and realized he would have to make a sacrifice Tye took of his hoodie and put his shirt over his head and put the hoodie back on as he leapt allowing him to shed the extra layer around his eyes. While trying to ignore his open wound now that the tourniquet dissolved was ineffective as the slime's acid sunk into Tye's shoulder causing a wild spasming Tye got to the slime core which just looked like a black marble and stabbed it with his last pencil however due to the slime acid the wood was weakened leading to a small crack in the core before the pencil snapped. Tye thought about any other weapon he had as his skins started dissolving revealing cherry red muscles in some places. Tye spasmed and his jaw clenched Tye's remaining eyelid rose and he bit the core before poking and one of his now revealed raw muscles causing a spasm and therefore a jaw clench leading to a now split core the slimes body dissolved just as Tye fell to the ground bloody and torn.
