Chereads / I'm having a baa-d day at sea / Chapter 5 - Level ???

Chapter 5 - Level ???

I woke up again to some bright-ass world and more grass, this time on some concrete. I rolled onto my back, not surprised I couldn't feel anything. Fortunately, I didn't feel any pain this time, unlike at Death. 

Immediately, the first thing I noticed in my sight was a level bar. Which sat at a good 26 and my full health bar. 

Great, another game, just what I needed. 

However, I did see that I had $19.43k plus two gems so maybe I wasn't doing so bad after all, but where the fuck was I now, and where was the serial killer demon thing? 

Upon closer inspection, I saw a house next to my experience bar and a Menu option, ignoring both I began to look around. It was basically some large ass building made of the same concrete on the ground and I couldn't go in them. 

The next thing I noticed was that I was moving incredibly slowly, like obnoxiously slow; old people move faster than me. 

The third thing I saw was these people in black cloaks standing in a circle, already in a fighting stance. A little concerned, I stood a few paces away from them. 

[Lvl: 1300]

Yeah, fuck that. I'm checking my inventory instead. I found a thing with a fist on it, clicking it, it was just a normal punching move. Weak! 

The next thing was a weird circle, that was interesting. I clicked on it. Beside me on the right a bar came up. 

[Use: Evaporate]

[Next upgrade: 100] 

Okay, so I assume that means my level and it's going to be a while. A very long while…

I clicked on the power to do what it would do and my eyes widened. It's fucking lighting! And now there's a giant ass hole in the ground! I felt a smile cover my face, so that was so cool, I could shoot lightning. 

I decided to move away from the scary cult circle and explore, in my left eyesight, I saw a speed button. Clicking it, I was able to move way faster but only for a second. Eh, it was better than this turtle's speed. 

I ended up in front of what I thought was an NPC, his name was Jay [Lv: 1850]. But immediately when I stopped, he killed me. 

I woke up back in the building from earlier, spawn point. Shaking a little, I didn't move. What was that guy's problem? Are they all going to kill me instantly? 

I walked out again; 

[Lvl up to 27!] 

Uhh, for what? Dying? 

I checked my Xp, just to see how far along I was and was surprised. 

 

  [466/750] 

  That…isn't that kind of low for level 27? I mean, I'm not complaining but I expected it to be more. 

  Well if my Xp bar is that low, how much is my damage? 

I stood a few feet away from one of the cult dudes in the circle, hitting him with my special move. He came to life and started following me. 

Oh shit…

I ran as fast as I could away and stopped for a second, seeing that my ability had to recharge. But as soon as I did, he let out this red light and killed me. I woke up at spawn again. 

Okay, that wasn't a smart idea…

I walked out again, this time staying clear of anyone. All around me was water and I saw a few islands but how do I get to them? And why the fuck am I on this island underpowered? 

I went further ahead this time and saw this giant arena and some guy standing in the middle. Standing at the edge, I got an idea. Could I hit them from over here? Maybe the AI won't recognize me if I'm not near them. 

  I shot the lighting at them and unexpectedly they ran straight towards me…

[Lvl: 1900]

  Well, they can't get me, they're like fifty feet way down there. I watched the NPC move around a bit, trying to get up the wall but couldn't. I laughed, I could probably kill them from up here.

  I clicked on my ability, ready to aim when suddenly the NPC released this earthquake and killed me. I stand corrected. 

  So maybe I should stop trying to fight people who are stronger than me…clearly. 

I made my way in the same direction, this time avoiding everyone, and found more fucking Npcs! Standing in a circle! How many of these things are trying to kill me?! 

I carefully avoided them and made my way to the edge of the island, maybe I could swim? I looked at the other islands in the distance, it was going to take a while. 

I watched my health bar go from 100 to 0 real quick. 

  How the fuck did I fall through the map?! What the fuck is this game?!

  Okay, so there has to be a boat somewhere then…

I looked around, discovering a run button finally. Why can't I just run normally, I don't know. 

  I also didn't find a boat, I found some woman offering quests. 

[Quest lvl 1900+] 

I clicked decline immediately and continued my search, finding absolutely nothing.. So I decided to click on the weird house button, it took a second but ended up on a new island. Greywood buildings this time. 

Looking around, I saw there was a lot more stuff, like a table with NPCs at it. I went up to the woman, another quest. 

[Do you want to]

Boring, declined. 

I walked off to another set of stands, some weird items on the ground. I picked them up, realizing they were potions. A black and pink one. 

  Well, I guess I can just respawn…

  I ate the black thing first, and my ability changed. 

[Use: Transform] 

[Next upgrade: 25] 

Ugh, so this ability must be worse since it's a lower upgrade level. But what am I transforming into? That sounds kind of cool…

  I pressed it and this light swirled around me, little specks of light coming and going, making my eyes hurt. Yep, I didn't like that. 

  When it was done, I looked at my body. Brown claws and fur everywhere, I was a dog…I think. That's not bad I guess. 

I started running around at my new speed, exploring the new island. Like before, I found some NPC, her green shirt and jeans were just as stiff as her posture, so I went up to her carefully. 

[Lvl: 30] 

  Ooh, I'm 27! I could take her! I tried my attack and noticed it was a simple bite move. I tried to bite her but she shot some laser shit at me and killed me, the lighting I had was way better. 

  I responded, thankfully on the same island. I just noticed in my inventory, that I didn't have my lighting anymore, it was that stupid dog transformation. Ugh. 

  That stuff I ate must be permanent then…
