Greg is laying down on his bed, sleeping soundly until an explosion was heard near the house.
"?!" Greg quickly got up, sweating and his heart beating fast.
"What was that?" Greg said to himself and hurried to his window to see what's happening.
"RUN!" a group of people were running in fear.
Greg swiftly went downstairs then the kitchen
He then opened up the refrigerator and took his bag on the couch.
He takes the daily necessities, which are food and water then puts them in the bag.
Greg then covers his face with the scarf
Another explosion was heard but this time, it seems like 4 explosions were heard.
"It's as if they're having a war there! They're gonna attract monsters!"
Lastly, Greg took his
"Where are the idiots who's making the damn noise?!" Greg said to himself as he run to the other side of the explosions to see who are the cause of it.
As he took a peek, what Greg see was not what he expected.
"I thought.. People are using a skill to blow monsters up but.." Greg said it as he was very disappointed.
What he see was a man, throwing grenades carelessly to monsters.
The monsters were walking unscathed, no bruises, no damage.
"W-Why?! Why are you not dying!!" The person who was making the noise was a man who is in his middle 40's.
The man looked terrified, he could not believe the grenades he possess could not leave a scratch on mere skeletons.
Greg ran up to the man and grabbed his shoulder tightly.
"Stop it! You're just bringing more monsters in this area!" Greg said angrily.
"S-Shut up! Who are you!? Stay away!" The man pushed Greg away and threw a grenade at him and ran away.
Greg quickly took the grenade and threw it somewhere else.
"He's dangerous, if he makes anymore noise this area will be a hellhole!" Gritting his teeth, Greg took out his knife and chased the man.
"Huff.. Huff.. Huff.. Stay away.." The man running away as he's holding his grenades.
A couple of grenades fell out of the man's bag.
"O-Oh no.. " The man looks back and picked up the grenades that fell.
"W-What?" The man sees a shadowy figure, he could not see what it is because he is in a alley under the moonlight.
"Wh-Who are yo--?!" The man ran away before he could finish his sentence, because what he saw was, Greg who is running at fast speeds with a knife on his hand.
"Come here, Old man!" Greg shouted.
"H-Help me!" screamed in despair by the mouth,
"Help! Help! Help!" repetitive screams of the man as he was doing his best to scream as loud as he can.
The man tripped. he looked back in fear.
"A-Are you okay, mister?" said by a girly voice.
"H-HM?!" The man looked back.
What the man see were a group of teenagers, 3 girls and 2 boys.
The man grabbed onto the boy who was closest to him.
"P-Please h-help me! I'm being chased by someone! Help me!" The man said, as tears were falling from his cheek like a waterfall.
"By who?" said by the boy behind the boy the man's clinging onto.
"I-I don't know! I dont know who he is but he's gonna kill me!" The man could not control the flow of his tears so he decided to keep them falling.
"O-Okay we'll keep you safe! But in exchange you have to help us too!" The girl said.
"Y-Yes! S-Surely! Thank yo-- H-He's there! There!" The man pointed on the roof.
The teenagers looked on the roof and they see nothing.
"Are you maybe hallucinating, old man?" The boy at the back said angrily.
A grenade was rolling underneath the group. everyone didn't notice it except for the man.
"G-Grenade! Grenade!" the man pointed on the grenade underneath the boy.
"P-Pick it up!" Said the girls, panicking.
The boy picked it up and threw it above them.
The grenade exploded on a safe distance.
"T-That was so close.." Sighed by the girls.
The teenagers were too engrossed on the explosion and they let their guards down and fell on their knees.
"h-help.. me.." the voice of the man was slowly and slowly getting quiet.
The teenagers looked back to the man and what they see was Greg slitting the man's throat.
The man could not make any more noises, he was dead.
"W-Why did you kill him!? That's wrong!" said the boy as he's approaching Greg angrily.
"He was making a lot of noises with his grenades so I decided to silence him. No big deal." Greg said as he is walking away.
The boy grabs Greg by his shirt then punches him.
"It's still wrong!"
Greg grabbed the boy's hand.
"Well aren't you a snowflake?" Greg chokes the boy with his hand.
"H-Help-" the boy is having difficulty to speak as Greg is gripping tightly.
"Let's go! Go!" said the girl and ran away, the remaining four followed her.
"What an idiot!" said the other boy as they quickly ran away.
"W-What.. They just.." The boy cries quietly he could not scream because he was still being choked.
Greg dropped the boy on the floor as he was just a garbage.
"How does it feel? When you're being betrayed by your own friends." Greg looked down on him coldly.
"W-Why did they.." The boy was still crying because his friends left him.
"Do you want revenge?" Greg said as he reached out his hand to the boy.
"Y-Yes! I want to kill them!" The boy quickly grabbed Greg's hand.
Greg pulled him up then asked.
"What's your name?"
"It's Luis, Nic-Nice to meet you." The boy wiped his tears and snot with his sleeve as he was shaking
"Nice to meet you, Luis. I'm Greg." Greg smiled as he stabbed Luis' heart.
"W-What? Why?.." the boy fell on his knees as he is coughing up blood.
"I would have taken you with me if you at least showed a little doubt but you did not."
Greg picked up the knife from Luis' chest
"In the end you're just a fool who trusts people too easily." Greg then cleaned his knife with Luis' shirt.

Greg immediately picked the
"It said i can just say it in my head." Greg then closed his eyes.
"Fireball!" Greg said in his mind.
A fire ball shoots out of his hand, and exploded upon the contact.
It was just a minor damage, it can destroy concrete at most within a small radius.
"It's small but it can kill." Greg smiled in excitement.
"I don't know how much mana I have but I wanna try it on monsters."
Greg went inside of the hole the fire ball made and Greg see a cozy room.
"A living room? Lucky." Greg then took his snacks and water out and eat them.
"I'll hold on for the chase for today. It's almost dawn and It'll be bad if I don't have the energy."
Greg said as he sits down on a chair in the dining room and slept on the table.
