A florescent screen appeared in front of him :
-
Exp:(900/1000)
-
Exp:(0/100)
Mikhail hurriedly said
'System use all life energie and distribute them among my stats'
'Yes'
At that moment a surge of energie entered his body, he trembled as a an euphoric feeling invaded his mind, closing his eyes, he felt that the exhaustion was slowly being washed away by this miraculous power, his pale face regained it's natural color and his body was getting bigger and bigger as his muscles were growing at an astonishing level ,if someone was looking at him right now they would faint from fear ,Unfortunately he was surrounded by dead people.
The transformation took a couples of minutes,Mikhail was exuberantly happy by the enormous improvement, clenching his fists, he felt the immense power and potential his body hides.
Looking around him no one payed him attention, they were dead, yeah dead,all what he experienced in this town was an illusion, he didn't know who was after all of this, but he definitely didn't want to know.
The ugliness and grotesque nature of this world was slowly revealing itself, consuming whatever creature who's not strong enough to face it's dangers.
Mikhail then excitedly willed to see his stats:
-
Exp:(900/1000)
-
Exp:(0/100)
Mikhail could feel and sense the new strength his body holds, but he couldn't test it yet as he had to escape from this first.
Despite escaping the illusion, he pretended as if he didn't notice anything, walking slowly to the hut he almost failed to keep his cool, seeing the ghostly and mechanical way those mangled and mutilated bodies walked and stood in front of the others if talking, he was so horrified and scared ,sweat drenching his back while his legs and hands couldn't stop vibrating from fear.
but still he continued walking bracing himself despite the horrid scene in front of him, as he thought and analysed the situation with lightning speed, even though his experience in hunting was at first tough and almost impossible for someone like him, his persistence and environment helped him a lot which is why he has not fainted from the crazy stress and horror he's passing through.
Reaching the small hut, he heard a faint voice of grunting as he entered in hurry searching for the fatty so that they can escape.
In front of him two people were laying in bed, one of them was Edward and the other unfortunately was a rotten corpse of a female, Damn he was having sex with a dead body. Mikhail actually forget this small detail, the that his friend dated a zombie, looking at the disturbing scene displayed in front of him ,he couldn't stop himself from directly vomiting whatever disgusting and toxic things he ate earlier.
"Are you okey Mikhail"Edward said in a bleak voice .
Looking at his friend closely he was beyond shocked, the fatty had become so thin and skinny ,he could see every one of his bones, his cheeks were hollow and sunken,his skin had a very disgusting pus-filled bumps with redness and swelling all over Mikhail couldn't help but sigh at their fate.
It was extremely unraisonable to take him with him right now, as the guy was in a horrible state .
"I guess this is the end...Edward, I will really miss you, I will leave this place and definitely take revenge " Mikhail said in an emotional tone, in the short time that he spent with this chubby kid, he grew a little bit attached to him, and as a man from earth seeing someone dying in front of him was something hard to accept and forget.
"What the hell are saying, did you finally go crazy, i think I have the perfect solution for you " he said as he came closer and whispered in Mikhail's ears with a teasing smile.
"You know Tiana the blonde girls she has a crush on you"
"No...Edward their dead "Mikhail said his last words as he turned back.
Suddenly a sinister and creepy voice was heard behind his back, as he felt a chilling sensation run down his spin, his scalp went numb.Frozen in place he didn't dare to move.
"I was the one who protected you when you could have died I offered a place a home a heaven for you and you're betraying me all I wanted to do is is to protect my people, those cruel bastards if it weren't for them i wouldn't have died, damn it damn it ahhhhhhh"
Mikhail was was so frightened that's his eyes bulged from their place how can this be? a human voice?! a ghost? turning his back slowly he found out that Edward was looking at him, his pupils were completely black emanation in aura of madness Terror, his expression slowly contorted as snarled with a crazed expression.
After finishing his speech his body slowly aged as he fell to the ground, twitching and thinning quickly as if his blood was being sucked by some terrifying entity, in the end his body turned into a powder, erasing his existence from this world.
hey immediately dashed out of the house and sprinted into the forest as ancient murmurs and shouts were invaded his consciousness, threatening to consume his mind, if it wasn't for his high states of intelligence he would have already died.
Moving with extremely fast speed amongst the trees Mikhail found it hard to see, his orifices were bleeding furious obscuring his sight,he run and run until he couldn't hear the voices anymore, gasping for breath in the now familiar and scary forest.
***
The forest was dense and dark, the trees towering above like ancient sentinels watching over the land. Strange noises echoed through the air, the cries of unknown creatures lurking in the shadows.
But the Mikhail was not deterred . he had survived in the wilderness before, barely, and he would do so again.
He made his way through the underbrush, his eyes constantly scanning his surroundings for any sign of danger. he knew that the forest was home to all manner of strange and dangerous animals, it's a lie to say that she was not afraid, despite everything he passed through he couldn't stop himself from feeling terrified, the fear of the unknown was not something that could easily overcomed, but in this situation he at least has some confidence because of his experience, so he wasn't that clueless about the forest and it's creatures.
He just needs to stay cautious and alert while avoiding fatal danger.
He was a skilled hunter and a fierce fighter, and the most important thing was his fierce determination to make it out alive.
As he walked, he spotted a small stream and quickly made his way to it. he knelt down and took a long drink, relishing the cool, clear water. he knew that he would have to find food soon, but for now, he was content to rest and calm his chaotic emotions down.
Sitting by the stream, Milkhail heard the rustling of leaves behind him. he leapt to his feet and spun around, his hand instinctively reaching for the knife at his belt. But what was in front of him stunned him for a moment, it was the same red eyed giant rabbit,that he encountered before.
It was standing on it's hind legs and towering over him, this one was much bigger and terrifying than the previous one. The rabbit bared its teeth and let out a very disturbing voice.
Mikhail's eyes shone with a light of revenge as he approached the creature without fear, he believed that he was strong enough to hunt this rabbit.
Sensing his movement the monster immediately froze, as if preparing for something, seeing it in this stat Mikhail recognized what it was gonna do, and gathered as much strength as he can in his legs, instantly traversing more than six meters in less than a second .
The white ball of fur, moved with great speed dodging the incoming knife, unfortunately it couldn't completely escape his grasp as a shallow wound appeared beneath it's neck, the crimson blood flowing on it snow white fur creating a striking view.
Mikhail grinned in relief, his greatest fear was that it agility was way out of his league, and he might die without knowing the cause.
The rabbit screeched with an ear piercing voice, it's eyes were showing furious emotion, it moved again with greater speed, reaching him before he can react as it slashed with its sharp claws at his chest , barely moving to the side, he thursed his hidden knife with his left hand directly towards it eyes.
His attack was slow by a millisecond as the hateful creature jumped in the air.
'A chance' he thought .
Using this opportunity he used all his strength sending the knife flying with extreme speed in the air, the rabbit barely managed to change his descent so that the knife could only pierce it stomach.
A cry fraught with a pain and agony was heard in the forest, as the rabbit entered a berserk stat no longer, losing its sanity, it attacked and attacked completely ignoring it body's stat, Milkhail managed to dodge it deadly claws and it's powerful jaws, but he couldn't escaped getting injured, his body was flowing with blood as he gritted his teeth and endured the pain, he couldn't afford to make any mistakes or his life will be over.
The wounded rabbit though was still a formidable opponent,it's eyes blazing with fury, continuing its retentless attacks, Mikhail's eyes were completely focused on this monster, his fear and hesitation vanished as he evaded her strikes with fluide movement, inflicting injuries as their fight continued.
Sensing it's life coming to an end, the rabbit made a final suicidal attack, instantly dashing towards Mikhail without dodging his slash that aimed at it's neck, the knife tore the fur and muscles instantly producing a fountain of blood. But the flames in it's eyes didn't diminish as it moved it claws with terrifying speed aiming at his head.
Mikhail was shocked by it's suicidal acts, as he tried to dodge, but could only move his head a little bit, as the the powerful jaw tore his shoulder creating a gory scene.
He shouted in pain as he rolled on the ground and cried from the excruciating and torturing feeling that he almost fainted from .
The rabbit beside him, trembled and with an anguished cry, fell to the ground, vaquished at last by Mikhail, creating a poll of blood around it
Mikhail immediately said:
He instantly felt his pain decreasing as time passed, he was no longer tired, he got up and felt as if he can run for hours.
In the end Mikhail washed himself quickly and left this place as soon as possible avoiding any of the harrowing beasts that might be attracted to the scent of blood.
