After a few minutes, the group arrived at the supermarket. The doors seemed closed. Kalel made sign to the group to follow him. He went on the side to the employee door and then knocked.
" It's me Kalel, Open the door please ! " he shouted
After some time, the door was opened. Anthon was the one who came followed with some armed people behind him.
" Kalel, you are alive dude" he said half-glad and half-gloomy.
Kalel greeted him and went inside, some people looked at him with nervous eyes. He just ignored them and helped the group following him to get inside. Some elderly and injured people need help. Joan and his family were leaning against a wall, Mia was playing with some children near them.
" Joan, I met some people on the way, night is coming soon, we had to fight some goblins, we will have to stay here tonight to rest and leave early tomorrow morning. " He said rapidly
" I'm glad you 're alive but you said goblins ?"
" Yé, short and green monster who tried to kill us but we killed them."
" Okay, we were going to that anyway. No one want to be outside at nighttime anyway."
Mia approached him.
" I am so glad you survived, I was afraid for you. " she said shyly.
Kalel took a look at her. He moved his head to alleviate her worries.
' I'm not into teenager' he thought nonless.
" Joan, can you get everyone together at least the one who will act as protection tomorrow in 5 minutes ? I would like to talk to them. Mia, please go warn a guy named Thierry, he is the leader of the other group." He said before to leave in direction of the bathroom.
He went in one of the washrooms, closed the door behind him and opened his status.
Kalel
Level: 6
Health: 1,4
Intelligence: 1
Stamina: 1,9 (2,4)
Vitality: 2
Strength: 1,6
Agility: 1,4
Perception: 1
Unused points: 0,2
He used his earned points on his perception. While fighting the goblins, it helped him move while knowing his surrounding and perceive his adversaries' movement, he had the intention to get this stat to at least 2 before to concentrate on any other.
After that he opened his space pocket and took out all the system's items.
' You obtained an equipment: combat gloves. + 0,1 to strength'
' You obtained an equipment: combat shoes. + 0,1 to agility'
' You obtained a rare equipment: A vitality necklace. + 1 to vitality'
Kalel was glad, the stuffs he picked against the goblins were fairly good. After putting on the necklace under his shirt, he felt immediately his wound he got from the fight heal way faster. He got 3 others piece of equipment 2 daggers and a sword. He will give them to some of the men.
Kalel then picked the skill page he got from the slimes and goblins, there were 3 with the one he couldn't use because it needed mana, a stat he didn't got.
' You obtained a normal skill page : owl eyes.'
(Owl eyes skill : allows the user to see better at night, your level influence how much your eyesight is improved)
' You obtained a normal skill page : tarsier hearing'
( tarsier hearing : allows user to have a better hearing, your level influence how much your hearing is improved.)
Kalel remembered that a tarsier was a kind of very small monkey with super hearing. He was glad to get his senses getting improved but sad to not get an improvement to his fighting ability. He wanted the skill fireball !
Lastly, he tried to tear the rare random skill page he earned but it didn't work once again. He would have to give it to someone who had the stat. Kalel then checked his space pocket, it was way bigger now, it was almost the size of a his living room, it had shelves and was lit. Kalel took a few minute to organize the place. All the things were just throwed on each other's. He also tested if he could actually open 2 entry to his space pocket. He could but unfortunately the doors at only a range of 6 meters, it must be linked to his level. Kalel discovered than the gate stayed open if he didn't leave the range of 6 meter or decide to close it. That was interesting and give him some ideas that could save him later on.
After using the WC, kalel went out to meet the others. Joan, Thierry, Mia and the others were waiting for him a little bit out the way from the other survivors who were staying between friends or family and eating some sandwich reheated in the microwave, some literally asleep.
" hello guys, we need to make a plan for tomorrow. It is why I would like to know if there is some players among you ?" he asked directly.
Thierry and Joan looked at each other's. Thierry spoke first.
" Yes, we got 3, they're 2 level 1 and my son is level 3."
Kalel thought that his son must have participate to the fighting alongside his father and he got more experience in that way.
" In our group, there is only 2 girls who are players, they are level 2, we all killed some slimes when we were in the building." Joan added.
" Call them please !" said Kalel simply
After a moment they join them.
" So, I am Kalel, I am now a level 4 player, I got some items and skills. I will give what I don't use to you so we can improve our fighting ability."
He took the sword and daggers from his space pocket and gave them to Mia. The people were shocked but Kalel didn't even bother to explain himself.
" For the skill I got I need someone with the mana stat, others without this stat can't use it."
The players were looking at him with sadness, only one of the girls got this stat. She was happy, she was a curvy Arabic girl with a lovely looking face. Her name was Nalya. He gave it to her and explained it how to use it. She did and was looking busy for a few second.
" Yes, the skill is called healing, it can heal injuries, the more mana I use or the higher my level is the effects are improved." She said happily.
Kalel was glad, he got a healer, it will be useful for tomorrow. He asked her some questions then advised her to try to use her skill on the people with injuries and to focus on the warrior. When he said that, a tall skinny man spoke abruptly.
" My father got an injury while fighting the slim. Are you suggesting letting him suffer or leave him behind here when we leave, Motherfucker ? Do you think you are our leader because I don't remember choosing you !!! "
Kalel laid his eyes on him and gauged him. He raised his left hand and took out his spear slowly from his space pocket. The guy look at him in the eyes and lost his anger and began to be frightened when kalel took out his spear with still blood trail.
" You should stay polite, dude. I don't like being insulted and I got a very bad habit to beat up people who annoy me. " Kalel said coldly.
Joan put himself between them. He tried to calm the situation.
" Kalel, forgive Kevin, he is a short-tempered person but he meant no harm to you, he is just worried about his father. " he said calmly.
" Perhaps, I will overlook it this time but don't provoke me, I 'm not a nice guy, I killed enough today that he will not matter if I add one body to the count. And concerning the safety of the people who are injured or too old or young to move fast enough. We will transport them by using my ability." He said while opening a big door to his space.
The people around could see more clearly inside. Kalel had separated the storage place from the rest and make a kind of living room. He wanted people not to have access to his stuff. He could do it now because he had the ability to create 2 different doors and could decide to link the storage place and the other if he wanted to. It was kinda making a sand castle.
Joan, Thierry, Mia and Nalya were the only ones to get closer.
" You can go inside to check. Even when I close it, there is still air and you don't suffocate, I used this ability to surprise the goblins earlier. So tomorrow we will move all the people who are slow inside ."
He said while showing them his place like a real estate agent.
" We can even transport more supplies that way so when we come to the camp, we won't be only dependent on the government kindness." said Thierry
" I want to be clear, I do intend to go to the safe zone so we can collaborate until then. After that, lets all continue the course of our lives. Do we agree ?" Kalel asked firmly.
The 2 leaders nodded their agreement. Nalya went to the injured, the rest went to end their diner. Only Mia followed him. He stopped in a corner and waited for her to talk.
" kalel, why did you hide all the stuffs we took in the building ?"
" Why would I show it ? These things belong to me. We are going in a refugee camp tomorrow, we will miss everything, they will be rationing us, I don't want to starve or have a bad sleep. Tonight, I will be at least sleeping on a mattress. So, you should pack up all the stuff you can carry on your backpack. You should prioritize cans, water and medicine." He said tactlessly.
" Yes, I know we are almost strangers but don't you feel the need to help them ? " she asked thinking mostly about herself and her brother.
" Not really, I have never been a very social person and I don't like to be used without compensation. Now I need to rest. Good night, Mia."
He took his leave and went inside his Space pocket to sleep safely, she could only watch his back disappearing.
' You could at least ask me if I want to sleep with you, goujat !"
