Chapter 8 - Level 2

It sprinted directly over to Hans.

‚Shit. That thing is much faster. What to do what to do?'

Hans couldn't comprehend how such a fast ghoul appeared were a half dead one should be.

Unluckily for him that wasn't the only incomprehensible thing. It hit like a truck too.

Be flung around like a leaf in the wind wasn't something pleasant.

Or skipping over the streets like a pebble over water. Sounds funny and is funny just hurts a lot.

‚I can't run nor can I overpower it. Shit shit shit. I can't just let me get beat till I am a lump of meat.'

‚Think! Think! Think! Any way out? F*ck!'

‚Wait I have that double my strength thingy.

But it only holds short and after that there was a penalty. So basically I have to Oneshot it.'

‚It seems to have gained some intelligence. Not enough to fall for a complicated scheme but it should be able to understand my strength. So if I can get to win trade a direct blow to its head and in the last second activate the skill.'

‚Slim chance. However no other so it has to work. It's too early into the game for it to end for me. Gotta have to make them pay first for toying with us.'

And so the fight went on. Hans trying to reduce as much damage as possible while not trying to run away gave birth to a funny occasion were there was a clearly stronger party but because the weaker party new it would lose and didn't make any mistakes the stronger party could only get in chip damage.

As our stronger party was also of the braindead faction thinking of pressuring the weaker party into a deadly mistake never came up.

‚And it came as it came people started ranting about plot armor but seriously guys. I'm fighting mentally a toddler. For him it was a one way ticket to doom. However now something else guys. I see some of you like my story but this author of mine needs some help getting his ass on the desk. His boss announced today that they will have an extended Weekend. Shortly he has free on Monday. So if you want more chapters and help me, kick him in the ass so I get my mass release.

Lets get going with the story and Good bye and I hope you won't have to hear from me to soon again -_-

Your Hans.'

Phips: „Sry he is quite pushy sometimes just ignore him (free, paid Monday ┻━┻︵ \(°□°)/ ︵ ┻━┻ )"

————————————

Once Hand Stowed all his luggage back at his old home, he sat down and reached in his left pocket.

What he took out was a red crystal but different then before the red wasn't like what you know from water paint.

Not its color tone was heavier.

Not by much but definitely enough for every kid to notice the difference.

Typing on his watch and opening the selling option Hans held the crystal over the screen.

*Selling Crystal for 16 White Coins*

‚So it seems it is a level above.'

To double confirm Hams decided to eat the crystal next.

And again it melted away in his mouth and that warm feeling spread till it reached his heart were again he felt a slight pinch.

,So even though I have that penalty my stat increased by 0.1 (and 0.05[with the penalty]). The two single crystals were from low level. While this one was high level. Seems like not only we are getting stronger.'

„But?"

„But?"

‚Do they spawn differently or ...

...

do they also grow?'

‚I have to face it. They probably grow by eating corpses. Thinking now about it it doesn't seem to unthinkable.

Calling them ghoul also doesn't fit them. All those different classifications don't fit. All of them were made for one race but these things seem to have become their own new race.

But not only them we the living have also become abnormal.

This is the era of the abnormals. Living as well as dead.

Still we still have our humanity at least left.

So we will be humanity's last stand and they will just be the abnormals.

We once were one but now we fight for our races survival. Why does abstraction lets it look just like another human war of interracial supremacy. Seems like we can never let go of that trade. Even not in death.

Hahahaha. What poor things we humans are.'

———

After an hour Hans found finally what he was seeking for.

Clipping Glove : 60 White Coins

Description:

Automatically collects core of its respective level by placing the equipped hand onto the head.

‚So their cores are in the head. As expected.

Now I have to go on another slaughter.'

‚Now that I my strength is on penalty I have to change my fighting style.

Best would be if I could do a hit and run style.

All crystals that aren't agility and perception will be sold for clipping glove and then an agility booster skill.

After that the perception booster.'
