Walking out of the portal, the first thing Kai saw was the blazing sun and cloudy sky.
"I wonder how long I was gone for?"
He ensured his cloak covered his whole body and checked if anyone saw him exit the portal. After making sure everything was fine, Kai set off to where the old man was.
Walking the streets, he saw the same people he always saw. Nothing seems to have changed.
"It was only a few days at max. It would be weird if things weren't the same."
Although he was only in the dungeon for a few days, Kai's whole life changed in only a few days.
Along the way, Kai got many envy looks. Even a few days ago, Kai would have also been envious of such a nice cloak.
He may not like the people in this city, but he couldn't blame them. He, too, was a part of them.
Rounding the alleyway corner, Kai took a deep breath before walking to the dark figure on the ground. Kneeling in front of the lifeless body, Kai picked up the old man.
Bringing his body to the broken corner house, Kai kicked and dug a grave for him. Lowering the body into the grave, Kai said his goodbyes, "Thank you for all your help. No matter what, I'll never forget you. Rest in peace, grandpa. I'll take care of the rest."
Covering the grave, Kai's heart was in turmoil. Burying someone you care for was not easy, but what Kai was about to do would help release his emotions.
Taking out a dagger, Kai examined it; the blade was a 6-inch fang, with a rope tied around the bottom half, giving it a handle.
Pressing it against his finger and applying some pressure, blood trickled down. Smiling, Kai was satisfied. With the Wolf Dagger, he wouldn't need to expose his claws.
This way, if someone were to look at the corpses, it would be obvious they were cut with some sort of knife or blade.
Putting away the dagger, Kai started walking to the blue district.
Originally Ashen and Eric were from the blue district, but because they were part of the strongest gang in the blue district, they felt above those in the blue and green district.
As new gang members, they were given orders to patrol the green district and report anything unusual.
One day on their patrol, they found Kai; instead of reporting the gang about him, Ashen and Eric took it upon themselves to mess with him, whether calling him names, punching him, or even mocking his dead parents.
Over time they began to develop a deep hatred for Kai. They didn't like that he never fought back or even acknowledged them. Until one day, they couldn't take it anymore; following Kai one night, they found him meeting up with an old man.
Watching the old man give Kai food, they found a way to hurt him. First, they would kill the old man, then throw Kai into the dungeon. It was a basic plan but would cause them great enjoyment.
After the night, they disposed of Kai. Ashen and Eric felt more alive than ever. They enjoyed causing Kai pain and then getting rid of him. It gave them a rush.
Quickly walking through the streets, Kai paid no attention to the homeless. After a short time, Kai found himself in front of the entrance to the blue district.
The entrance was a big 20foot gate, half raised. Walls stretched to the ends of both districts, making the gate the only way besides climbing a 30foot wall.
Standing at the sides of the gate were two guards, one on each side. Both guards have one 5inch knife each. The guards appeared to be young, naïve teens. Probably sent by the gang Ashen and Eric is a part of.
No one expected a strong or dangerous person would come from the green district, so they didn't send their strong members to protect the entrance.
Inspecting the guards, Kai was slightly surprised.
{Level-2}
{Level-3}
"So low"
These two would have had to kill something or someone to level up. Considering they were only level 2 and 3, there was no way they could have beat the dungeon. Which means they killed people of Nightmare City to level up.
"This gang isn't as simple as it seems. I wonder what level the leader is."
The guards noticed Kai and saw his clean, high-quality cloak. They knew no ordinary person could possess such a nice cloak in Nightmare City.
"Welcome to the Blue District!" The guards bowed their heads.
Despite trying to sound respectful with their grins, it overall made Kai disgusted. After living in Nightmare City for so long, Kai started to hate seeing everyone have a crazed grin.
Nodding his head, Kai walked through the entrance.
Walking through, Kai was shocked to see almost all the buildings were toppled over. Besides a few buildings left standing, Kai could see almost across the entire Blue District.
There were slight to zero people on the streets compared to the Green District.
Kai only knew Ashen and Eric were a part of a gang in the Blue District due to the constant bragging they did.
'If I was a gang, where would I be?' Thinking about it, it was obvious. The gang would be held up in some building as a place of operations.
Heading toward the largest standing building, Kai had to avoid the broken glass, bricks, and rocks that covered the streets.
Once he was close enough, Kai spotted four guards in the front, guarding the entrance. Each one is equipped with a poor-quality knife. Even if they were poor-quality, it was better than nothing.
"Where do they get their weapons?"
Before all of this, Kai had never seen someone with a weapon. Even Ashen and Eric didn't have one.
Seeing a figure dressed in a high-quality black cloak, the guards stopped talking and watched the figures every move.
"Do any of ya know him?" One of the guards spoke in a gruff voice while pointing toward Kai.
Shaking their heads, none of them could recognize the cloaked figure.
Walking up to the building, the guards gathered in front of Kai. Looking at the guards blocking him from entering, Kai frowned. 'I would rather not kill them,' He thought.
"What business do you have here?" One of the guards asked while stepping forward.
The guard had a blue cloth and short black hair with green eyes.
'Should I ask for Ashen and Eric directly? They are just new members. I doubt they'd care.' Thinking about it, Kai decided.
Distorting his voice the best he could, Kai replied, "I'm looking for two people. I heard they were a part of a gang around here. Ashen and Eric."
After hearing why he was here, the guard appeared to be in thought. Turning around to the other three guards, he asked, "Have any of you heard of a Ashen and Eric?"
All three of them thought for a second before shaking their heads.
Turning back to Kai, the guard hoped he wouldn't anger the mysterious person, "I'm sorry, but there is no Ashen or Eric here."
Stunned by their respectful tone, Kai nodded and thanked them for their time.
Leaving the area, Kai concluded they thought he was some big shot. After all, even if it was just a cloak, its quality wasn't something seen in Nightmare City.
Maybe in the other two districts, the people had good quality clothes, but in the Green and Blue district, people only had dirty cloths for clothes.
After walking for a few minutes, Kai looked around, wondering where he should go.
Although Kai knew they were part of a gang, he didn't know which one. He often heard how they were part of the strongest one. But asking that to anyone part of a gang would most likely say their own.
Plus, asking where the strongest gang was would undoubtedly cause unwanted attention. He was already getting enough of that with his cloak.
Just as Kai was thinking when some voices brought him out of his thoughts.
"Hurry up, Eric, we gotta go to the Green District!"
"I'm coming."
Looking in the direction of the voice, Kai saw the two people he was looking for. Smirking, Kai followed them from afar.
Although he wanted to kill them then and there, there were too many people around. Although none of them would pose a threat, it would be somewhat annoying to deal with.
Following from behind, Kai could overhear what they were saying. Most of it was talking about how amazing and cool they were—rolling his eyes at their conversations.
As they went into the Green District, the teens mostly walked around looking for anything abnormal and making fun of the inhabitants of the Green District.
"Eric, let's go through here; it's a shortcut."
Pointing to an alleyway, the teens walked in.
Walking in the alleyway behind them, Kai chuckled. "Haha, a shortcut indeed."
Spiriting at them, Kai grabbed both their heads, slamming them down to the ground.
~Boom~
"What the Hell!"
"F*ck, that hurt!"
Both the teens cursed, standing up, blood trickled down their foreheads, grinning, they looked as if they liked the pain.
Expect a select few. The people of Nightmare City had no control over their craze behavior or constant grins.
"Who the hell are you?" Ashen yelled at the black figure in front of them.
Taking his hood off, Kai revealed himself to the two teens with a grin that matched theirs.
"Did you already forget me?!"
Both Ashen and Eric's eyes widen in disbelief. They personally threw him into the dungeon alone. How could he have survived? It didn't make sense.
"Don't worry about the small stuff, it's time for fun."
As Kai said, he kicked Ashen in the stomach with enough strength to not kill him.
"What's wrong? You loved kicking me. I just wanted to feel what you did."
Looking at Erik, he ripped off his cloth, bundling it up. Kai shoved it in Eric's mouth.
"And you, it seemed like you enjoyed shoving cloth in my mouth. I have to say. I totally understand how you guys felt. Hahaha, this is great!"
"Haahwaww." Erik tried to scream, but the cloth blocked most of the noise.
"Wait! haaa haaa." Ashen yelled as loud as he could. He was already breathing hard, and more blood poured out of him.
"Hmm, why should I?" Kai wanted to know what Ashen could say to make him stop.
"Our leader, haa. He'll kill you. Haa, if you killed us. Hahaha, he's a tier 1. You may have survived the dungeon, but haa. You can't beat him." Ashen said between deep breaths.
The words 'tier 1' really caught Kai's attention.
'So that's how they're the top gang in the Blue District.' Kai thought, after all, the gap between tier 0 and tier 1 was too big.
"Don't worry; I'll personally visit him myself. Where is he?" Kai smirked
"Haha, you wouldn't last a haa second against him. Just look for the building with a blue emblem with an axe on it." Ashen had no doubt that his leader would kill Kai in a second, so there was no problem telling him where they were.
"Haha, don't worry, Ashen. You'll see him very soon." After saying that, Kai took out his wolf dagger.
Seeing the dagger in Kai's hand, both Ashen and Eric squirmed, trying to escape.
Watching them squirm made Kai happy.
Grabbing Ashen's hair, Kai placed the dagger on his neck. Just by making contact, the dagger drew blood.
"Thank you for this gift, Hahaha!"
~Sling~
Ashen's body stopped moving; blood stained the floor.
Seeing his brother be killed, Eric tried to scream, run, and do anything to get away from this demon. Tears ran down his face.
Grabbing Eric's hair, Kai could not help but mock him, "Wow, I didn't know you could cry. Seeing you cry makes this so much better. Thank you!"
~Sling~
Eric's body slumped to the ground, lifeless, like his brother.
"Who knew revenge could be so good. Rest well, old man."
Walking in the direction of the blue district, Kai put on his hood. His lips curled up.
"Seems like I get to test my new abilities on a tier 1, haha. Don't disappoint me!"
Stopping dead in his tracks, Kai suddenly remembered something important.
"My class, I should get a class now! How could I have forgotten?"
Opening his stats, Kai saw it.
{Class: N/A (Available)}
Clicking on the (Available), a list of different classes Kai could choose appeared.
{Mage- A mage primarily focuses on range attacking with spells using mana to power magic attacks.
+ 20 Intelligence
+ Mana (Unlocked)
+ Magic (Unlocked)
- Choose between Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind magic.
+ Tier 0 Spells
Warrior- Mainly focusing on brute force, warriors fight in close quarters. Typically wielding a weapon.
+ 20 Strength
+ 15 Resistance
+ Ability [Slash]-Imbuing their Will power into an object, the user can slash out their Will power.
Bruiser- Taking and blocking damage, bruisers are extremely hard to damage and kill. Mainly the tank, a bruiser can also deal significant damage.
+20 Vitality
+25 Resistance
+ Ability [Taunt]-Taunting a target will make them aggressive toward the user. }
"Ok, let's think for a minute, {Mage} is definitely out. With my evolution, it wouldn't work well, plus firing spells from afar isn't my style. Next is {Warrior}. It would suit my style well, and [Slash] could be very good. Last but not least is {Bruiser}, which would also suit me well. Oh, which to choose."
With {Warrior} Kai could gain even more strength and resistance, making his Werewolf evolution even stronger. While {Bruiser} would make him more of a tank build.
While it does give him resistance and vitality.
It mainly focuses on being in front of an enemy and taking hits. Kai didn't want to take attack after attack. He wants to be the one attacking from all angles.
"{Warrior} would be the best for me, plus I could use [Slash] with my claws.}
Choosing {Warrior} Kai immediately felt the effects.
Smiling, he headed off to the Blue District entrance.
