Luna couldn't help herself but slower move back. the vincent has already mutated, meaning he is currently buffed up to the max but it is only temporary. mutations occur mostly to boss NPC or player that has been exposed to a substantial amount of radiation and not die. whenever one becomes mutated they mind becomes a single-minded machine to achieve its goal no matter what and unfortunately vincent's current goal is to eliminate Luna.
"kill," he said slowly taking a few steps toward luna the suddenly bursting a full dash. for someone so big he moves incredibly fast. luna was unable to react on time and could only mentally prepare herself for what was about to happen. without wasting any time he grabbed luna by the head and slammed her into the cold hard ground.
"Ugh!" she screamed out but her voice was muffled by his hand holding onto her face. he was also applying more pressure to her head trying to crush her skull.
Luna pulled out her knife and began slashing at his arm. she could feel her hp drop by the second, luna would find herself at death's door if she doesn't fight back.
"let me go!!"
"or WHat?"
"This!" with the knife in hand she stabbed it right through his arm.
"AHHHH!!" he lets go of her and started to step back giving luna enough space to act.
"you might have mutated but there still a limit to how much pain you feel"
Vincent was caught off guard by the attack and started to move back in pain until he stumbled on one of the corpses of the starved ghouls. when he fell luna was moving in for the kill. stabbing hi,m repetitively in the chest with her dagger then she notices some grenade hanging off his belt. she grabbed one and removed the pin. while vincent was screaming in pain, she forced the now unpinned grenade into his mouth. she quickly stepped away then after a few seconds.
Boom!!! an explosion rang and echoed around the walls of the cave with blood and gore flying everywhere.

"well that was fun but I'm now covered in blood and Raider parts," she said removing a piece of flesh that had landed on her head.
On her way out, she looted all the bodies and began to make her way back to the nearest settlement. Now walking in the wasteland under the cloudy sky, Luna had finish allocation her skill and attribute points. all the while keeping an eye out, here the most dangerous things were not the monsters or the dangerous amount of radiation. it's the player and NPC looking to loot and kill player, the lather being for fun most of the time.
The closer she got to the settlement the more ruined building she saw, all perfect opportunities for a solo sniper or a full party ambush. After spending quite some time walking and avoiding some very bloodthirsty players. Luna had finally arrived at Havendale Settlement.
Havendale is one of the top four settlements in the Atea wasteland. The biggest being the Hagraven settlement. Honestly, to call it a settlement was an understatement, the most accurate word would be 'city'.
As Luna approach the gate to the city, the guards didn't really pay any mind to her covered in blood. This type of situation is the most common. An example of a rare situation would be a solo player dragging the corpse of a massive beast.
"finally a safe place where no-one can kill me for no reason" she was about to walk into a tavern but stop when someone was thrown out. Followed by a duo both holding massive war hammers.
"That was your last chance, next time we see you. Better run." They were about to walk back in but stop when they made eye contact with Luna.
"LuLu," she said wrapping her hand around Luna, embracing her.
"So Lu Lu I heard a rumour that the leader of the raider gang around here was recently eliminated by a dark hair girl in all black"
Luna pulled away from her.
"firstly information travelled too fast in a post apocalyptic world. Secondly, I'm covered in blood"
Luna stepped back to get a proper view of her two friends. Alex and Allisa, are twin but Alex is a bit taller than his sister. They both have blonde hair and blue eyes. Allisa's hair was braided to the sides and resting on her shoulder. they were both were a red sleeveless vest and combat pants. Alissa seemed to have a jacket tied around her waist. Alex on the other hand was carrying a duffle bag probably concealing some weapon.
"well, Alex where is my hug?"
"I rather not especially when you are covered in blood"
"come on I'm pretty sure it's dried by now" luna stretched out her arms waiting for the hug.
"ugh fine" he embraced her but it didn't last for long before he pulled aways pinching his nose.
"you stink"
"well thanks captain obvious"
"Anyway Alex and I have somewhere we need to be so don't get lonely without us" Alissa chimed in as she beag dragging along her brother to the city gate.
Luna walked into the tavern pay some extra money for the days that she would be staying for and went into her room to have a warm bath and sleep.
[would you like to log out]
'yes" a bright light enveloped her eyes and in just a moment she was in the MWD pod recently installed by the company.
