Donavan squeezed the handle of his dagger and readied himself for the fight with the birds. The mob of students who were scared and running for their lives were still scared but now ready to fight for their lives, the mob of students held their weapons and charged at the birds. One of the students was especially fast and made his way to the front of the group very quickly and everyone including the mysterious student who was able to rally everyone up was surprised by the speed of the average looking boy holding a dagger.
"I don't want to die" was the only thing going through his head when he was charging at the bird while holding his dagger tightly in his hand ready to strike any moment. When Donavan got close enough to the bird it went to strike Donavan with it's beak but Donavan was able to quickly step to the right of the birds beak and shoved his dagger into the head of the bird and after a few seconds of struggling the bird finally died. The group of students saw how Donavan made such quick work of the bird and was surprised at how skilled he was. Donavan on the other hand was staring at the message on the screen in front of him.

"So this really is like a game, I am able to obtain exp and drops from monsters that I kill" thought Donavan, Donavan smacked the screen away and saw that more birds were now charging at him so he prepared himself to dodge another attack of the birds but once the birds was about to attack Donavan a mob of students swarmed the birds while swinging their weapons pushing the birds back. Donavan stood still and watched in awe at the scene of giant birds fighting against human kind.
As Donavan was watching the battle the student who saved Donavan before and was able to rally everybody up walked in front of him and looked at him "you're pretty good, my name's Cayden" Cayden held his hand out and Donavan saw that his hand was full of calluses and had a little blood on it. "Nice to meet you Cayden, the names Donavan" Donavan shakes his hand and Cayden charges back into battle. Although Cayden seemed like a nice guy Donavan was a little suspicious of Cayden because of the weapon that he was using, none of the classes that Donavan saw had a great sword as a starter gear and yet he was able to obtain one.
Donavan started to brainstorm on how he was able to obtain that weapon but he was snapped back to reality by a scream of one of his classmates. Donavan turned to face the direction of the noise to see that one of his classmates were being pinned down by a bird on the brink of death. Donavan sprinted and jumped up at the birds head planning to stab the birds head and kill it in one blow and just like he had planned after he jumped up he shoved the blade of his dagger into it's head and just like the bird before after a few seconds of struggling it died.

"If I remember correctly I need to kill 2 more before I level up" Donavan thought. Donavan then heard a muffled noise but was unable to identify where it was "hey can you help me" realizing that the noise was coming from under the dead bird he pushed the bird aside and saw that the person under the bird was a female. The girl looked up to find that the person who saved her was an average looking male and she had seen several people more attractive then him but she felt that she had some sort of feeling for him that she could only explain as love at first sight.
The girl was staring at her hero and despite the situation they we're in she was blushing and while blushing she said "t-thank you for helping me" her hero stretched his hand out to her and she took his hand and she was helped up by him. As her hero turned around and was about to walk away she asked "what's your name" he then faced her and replied "Donavan", she started to think of how she would be able to repay him for saving her but she couldn't find anything at all so she just said "thank you for saving me, I promise I'll repay you later" her hero named Donavan turned around and went back into battle.
As Donavan takes a look around he sees that the door that leads to the lower floors were still blocked by a few birds. He runs towards the bird and as soon as the birds spot Donavan 2 of them charges toward him and the one in front jumps and starts to hover with it's wing a little bit and attempts to kick Donavan with it's feet but Donavan slides underneath the birds leg and while he was underneath the bird he cuts off one of the birds toe making it lose balance and trip.
The second bird was right behind the first one and attempts to peck at Donavan before he was able to get off the ground but Donavan rolls to the side and avoids the birds attack. To the birds surprise the human was still alive and angered it charges at the human and tries to attack him with it's beak. The human ducks under the beak at the last second and stabs the bird neck killing it.

The bird that had it's toe cut by Donavan was now back up and is quickly closing the distance between Donavan and itself, the bird was charging towards Donavan with it's beak first attempting to hit the human with it's beak. The human rushes toward the mutated Bird and he leaps toward it once the bird got in range of his leap and he shoved the blade of the dagger into the birds eye. Donavan continues forcing the dagger into the birds eye and after the bird struggles for a few seconds it died.

[You have leveled up]
"Oh I leveled up I forgot about that, I wonder what I get from leveling up" Donavan smacks the screen with the notifications of his reward for leveling up because his priority was to get through the doors that leads down stair. When Donavan reaches the doors and was about to open it he hears a unfamiliar voice behind him "I wouldn't do that if I were you." Donavan turns around to see who it was and the person who talked to him before was Xavier.
Xavier was the quite kid, Xavier was a short, skinny guy and he was the type of guy who would not speak at all during classes unless he was forced to by the teacher, he was also the guy that you forgot was in your class because he never talked, "no wonder why I didn't recognize the voice" thought Donavan. Donavan didn't realize it at first but after staring at him for a few seconds Donavan saw that there wasn't a single drop of blood on Xavier at all, he didn't even looked tired or fatigued like everybody else. "If after all this and he still doesn't have a single drop of blood on him, it's best if I stay away from this guy" thought Donavan.
"What do you mean, why should I not open the door" questioned Donavan. Xavier looks Donavan in the eyes and he replies "just think about it, Let's say you do open those doors behind you and get out of the building, what are you gonna do then." Donavan thought about the question that Xavier has presented "I'll try and get help or better get to a safer place then here." Xavier chuckles a little bit and looks at Donavan "are you mental, have you tried calling the police." Donavan doesn't do anything but stare at Xavier in silence which was all Xavier had to hear and he already knew the answer.
"I'll take that as a no but I already tried calling the police and guess what happened, nobody picked up my call and you know what that means." Donavan now realized that the whole world was probably experiencing the same thing that is happening to them here, he was hit with the harsh reality that nobody was coming to help them. Xavier saw that Donavan was now wearing a expression of despair on his face and he instantly knew that Donavan now knew of the situation outside the school. "I'm guessing you figured out the rest right" asked Xavier, Donavan stared at Xavier for a few seconds before answering "so you're saying that even if I somehow do end up getting out of this building I'm not gonna be able to get any help and the situation outside of the school could be worse than the situation in here."
Xavier looks at Donavan and smiles "that's exactly what I meant" Xavier turns around and starts walking off back into the chaos but is stopped by a hand on his shoulder. Xavier looks over his shoulder to see Donavan's hand on his shoulder, "What is it now" asked Xavier. Donavan stares into Xavier's eyes and asks "how do you know much Xavier."
