After Alan saw his status window again, he wanted to sigh. After all, no matter how you look at it, the class in his status window is the class of a mob character. Holding back his bitter feeling, Alan steel his resolve to make sure that Liz stays safe.
Alan moved his gaze to look at Liz. The moment he saw Liz, he can see the image of Liz at this time and the Liz of the future overlaps bringing with it an indescribable feeling of both happiness and sadness.
"Liz, since you believe me about how I saw the future thingy, I hope you will stay in your basement for these 2 days." Alan moves closer to Liz and hugs her.
He then whispers in her ear. "Make sure you use your whole savings to buy all kinds of food and drinks. Make sure that no one sees you buy that food and drinks. Here, you can buy my portion too with this card." Alan says as he gives her his credit card.
Regardless of how much she spends, He won't have to pay for it after the disaster anyway Alan thought to himself.
"Okay then, what about you Alan? What will you do?" Liz looked at Alan worriedly.
"As for me, I'm going to nip some problems in the bud," Alan answered with a look of determination on his face.
"By the way, Liz, you have a friend named Ken right? Do you know where he is usually at this time?"
"Hmmm, Ken huh… I don't like him so I don't know much about him but if I remember correctly he should be at an abandoned bar playing billiards with his friends. Wait, don't tell me that you…" Liz looked at Alan like she saw a ghost.
"Yes, you are right I'm going to 'Nip some problems in the bud' " Alan answered and then he smiled at her.
*gasp Liz covered her mouth and was about to say something. Before she managed to say anything though, Alan cut her off
"There's not much time, make sure to get ready for what will happen. Your basement should be safe even if there's an earthquake. Ah yes, don't forget to bring some blanket and pillows" Alan says as he covered her mouth with his hand
"But- *mmpphh"
She was about to say something again and it might delay him so Alan just goes ahead and kissed her on the lips. After the kiss, he says farewell to her
"I love you, Liz, make sure to wait for me in your basement okay?' I say that as I began to walk away.

Riding my bike, I sped up toward the abandoned bar where Ken was supposed to play billiards. After I arrived at the bar, I started to look around the building. After making sure where the escape route was, I went down the stairs and opened the door.
Before coming here, I already prepared 2 kitchen knives and a baseball bat. I didn't forget to wear a full-face helmet with a black visor. Right after I opened the door, I instantly recognized which one was Ken. Without any words, I instantly broke into a run straight to Ken.
Surprised by my appearance, Ken and his friend didn't manage to react in time. As soon as Ken was in my range I pulled out one of the knives with my left hand and stabbed at his left eye.
*stab
The sharp knife instantly dug into Ken's eyes and went straight to his brain. He then convulsed for a few moments before he stopped moving forever. By the time Ken stopped moving, one of his two friends, the bald one, managed to regain his wits and started to attack me.
"Damn You!"
That guy swings his fist toward me with a face full of rage. In response to that, I swung my baseball bat with pinpoint accuracy to hit his wrist. Even if I was only a weak porter in the future, I too still have a few skills to stay alive in the harsh dungeon.
After getting hit with a bat on his wrist, the baldy started to scream that his hand was broken. Not wanting to add more variables, I pulled my other knife and stabbed him in the left chest. The knife went through his body and showed up on his back.
As I thought, compared to the time after they got their classes, these guys were just too weak. if they already got their own classes though, they would be able to kill me with just one finger even if they are only level 2. Well, that's just how it was with an S-rank class I thought as I shrugged.
When I remembered the other friend with long black hair and started to look for him I didn't manage to find him. All that was left was the front door swinging slowly. I hurriedly ran out of the bar, that guy was already so far away and I could hear the sound of police sirens not far from there.
Thinking that getting caught now would be detrimental to my plan, I ran to my bike and started it. I then rode my bike as fast as I possibly can in the opposite direction the siren came from.
Little did I know that when I was running away with my bike, a car suddenly accelerated and hit the last of Ken's friends. From inside the car, a woman can be seen giggling with an innocent face as she says
"Now that should be the end of it."
After the woman hit the long-haired guy, she sped up with her car. A few moments later, police cars began to circle the area. Police lines were everywhere. After they started to look around a bit, they could find the abandoned bar and the corpses of Ken and his bald friend.

After I rode the bike for a while, I threw it to the junkyard and changed my clothes. I didn't feel anything about throwing away this bike. After all, it was a stolen bike, well living in that harsh world sure does give you some handy skills.
By the time the sky turns dark, I have already arrived at my apartment. Here, I began to write about the memories that I got from the future.
According to it, Ken will betray Liz and me when we were exploring a rank 7 dungeon that was mistakenly tagged as rank 3. In that dungeon, there was a class change slate and Liz was hoping to take that slate as her loot. Even without asking, everyone will understand why Liz is hoping to take that slate.
Ken and his friends didn't want to let it be and says that with this slate, they can sell it for a hundredfold more money than everything that can be found in this dungeon. Thinking about that dungeon, If I'm not wrong, that dungeon should be appearing with the first wave of the dungeon.
Somehow, that dungeon was left alone until a few years after the disaster. All right, if that class change slate is real, then that's my chance to change my fate from becoming cannon fodder. After I steel my resolve once more I close my eyes and start to sleep.
Meanwhile, at the corner of Alan's status window.
[[ Time before the disaster: 26.16 ]]
