Chapter 2 - Only Option

When choosing the assassin class a message appeared saying that the starter gear and class benefits would be gifted shortly and in a few seconds Donavan experienced what felt like a small explosion inside his body which was painful at first but after a few seconds the pain faded away and after that he felt that his body was a lot lighter and was more efficient. Donavan realized that it was probably the class benefits for choosing his class and his stats were upgraded "so this is what happens when your stats are upgraded huh" then suddenly a small dagger about 9-10 inches from the hilt to the end of the blade appeared in his hand and a pair of leather gloves that covered his whole hand except his fingers appeared in his hand. "This must be the starter gears that comes with the class" thought Donavan, he then realized that he never took a look to see how his classmates were doing so he took a look around and saw that some of them were still trying to force their way out of the room and some were staring at the screen in front of them similar to what he was doing before, he also saw that a lot of his classmates including his teacher were now holding their own weapons and equipments ranging from swords, wands, bows, etc kind of feeling relieved that most of them were also choosing their class and not confused on what to do Donavan went back to business. He stared at the pair of gloves in his hand and just like he expected another screen appeared in front of him.

[Item Name: Gloves of Precision]

[Special Properties: +4 Dexterity]

[Item Description: Gloves usually worn by novice assassin's that increases their ability to quickly move their hands which helps with the performance with the daggers]

After looking at the stats and description of the pair of gloves Donavan put the gloves on and surprisingly the pair of gloves slid into his hands perfectly and he felt like he could move his hands a lot more efficiently now. After putting on both of the gloves he then looked at the dagger in his hands and another screen appeared in front of him.

[Item Type: Weapon]

[Item Name: Iron Dagger]

[Item Stats: +5 Atk Damage]

[Special Properties: None]

[Item Description: A normal dagger made out of Iron and is a weapon commonly used by novice assassins]

Donavan held the weapon in his hand and even though he had never held a weapon in his hand he felt like he had used the dagger several times already. He took a look around the class one more time and saw that unlike last time everybody was now holding a weapon and are now wearing helmets, rings, gloves, etc. "So what now" one of the students said out loud then suddenly the screen with the time limit reappeared again even though they had already chosen a class and now they only have 5 seconds. Everybody in the room stared at the timer slowly ticking away thinking that they would die once the timer ran out so they kept watching the 5 seconds turn into 4 seconds then into 3 then 2 then 1 and eventually it reached 0 seconds but nothing happened when the time limit ran out, everybody was so surprised that none of them were dead and nothing happened. Everybody just started to relax and starting to feel relieved that nothing happened including Donavan, Mrs. Haling walked to the door and attempts to open it again and to everybody's surprise it was able to be opened, she then turns around to face the students and with a smile she said "(sighs) okay kids everythings alright now" Donavan started to relax and went to sit back into his seat and so did everybody else. Donavan looked to his right and looked out the window and saw what looked like normal birds flying towards them but the closer the birds got the less normal they looked.

The size of the birds were huge and once they got close enough Donavan was able to see that they were all drenched in blood. "Are you serious right now" thought Donavan, the closer and closer they got the other students started to notice the birds as well "Hey what is that" yelled one of the students, now everybody was aware of the birds flying their way. Donavan stood still and stared at the birds approaching them and he prepared himself for what was to come. Donavan watched the birds got closer and closer and eventually several birds crashed into the windows and forced there way into the room.

When the birds got in the room everybody flocked to the door to try to escape from them including Donavan. By everubody flocking to the door it created a huge mob of people trying to force their way out of the room , Donavan was in the middle of the mob trying to escape the birds and after tons of pushing and shoving he was able to get out of the room into the schools hallway but the hallways was no different from the classroom.

The hallways was also full of man eating birds all about 4-5 feet and they were now munching on the other students from the other class rooms who were trying to get out of the room. Donavan and everybody else in the floor ran through the hallway trying to reach the stairs to get to the lower floors and eventually reach the exit and leave the building. As the mob of people took a left turn to reach the doors that lead to the stairs they saw several birds blocking the exit and were now charging at them. The mob of people instantly stop and was now trapped between giant man eating birds, Donavan who was now on the outside of the mob of people realized that he was gonna be the first to be eaten by the bird and fear instantly took over his body and he froze "how are we supposed to get out of here alive" thought Donavan.

As the birds closed in on Donavan he closed his eyes in fear , he then heard what sounded like a blade cutting through flesh and one of the birds croaking in pain. After a few seconds passed Donavan realized he wasn't dead and slowly opened his eyes and he saw one of the students in front of him holding a giant bloodied sword and surprisingly there was also a dead bird in front of him, the mob of students was shock that one of them was able to kill the bird. Another bird charged at the group of mob again and the student swung his giant sword and it came down crashing in the birds head making a bloody mess on the ground. The student turned around and faced the mob and with a powerful voice he yelled "you have to fight back, the only way were gonna make it out of this is to kill the birds, use your weapons you got from your class and fight back if you want to live!" Donavan then realized that he was right, if they wanted to live then the only option is to fight back, Donavan squeezed the handle of his dagger and readied himself.
