Miles had put all the snakes in this pocket space. He might find a use for them later on, his telekinesis use felt so natural.
He arranged the snake on one side and placed all the marbles of attribute on a straight vertical line. Gravity didn't exist in the space.
Miles touched the red lights save for one and turned them into tier 1 spears. He placed them in his inventory along with the red nunchucks from earlier.
After some thought, he also placed the golden seeds inside. He went out of the forest and back to the graveyard.
He saw an injured man asking for help, Miles ran towards the man.
As he got closer, he slowed down and then stopped. The man's eyes were inhumane. They looked through his soul and gave him scopiophobia.
Before he could react, a fist came from behind and blew the man's head off his body.
"Hey, are you okay?" A tall, good-looking guy said. He had different medals on his person, bronze, silver and gold.
"Um, yeah" Miles felt his heart pounding in extreme fear. If it was from afar, he could have obliterated the monster, but close range, he wasn't ready yet.
Miles looked at the three people following the guy, the look in their eyes said it all.
'Damn it! There are looking down on me.' Miles shook of his thoughts.
"Thanks for saving me, I'm Miles" he raised his arm for a handshake.
"Nice meeting you Miles, I'm Freddie" Freddie shook his arm.
"These are Tom, Cassie and Ronald." The bespectacled guy, a brunette haired girl and the other tall guy respectively.
"Nice to meet you all" Miles said with a smile.
"Say Miles, do you know where I might find some diamonds" Freddie inquired.
"Diamonds huh, there should be some in the Grandiose Hotel. That's where I live, other than there, maybe a rich guy house." Miles replied.
"The Grandiose Hotel, its somewhat far from here." Freddie said
"You can't be serious, we just saved your sorry ass and you want us to take you home now!" Cassie said in clear disdain.
Fredd shot her a smile and she shut up. After much consideration he agreed.
"Fredd let's think this through, the hotel is quite a distance from here. If it takes more than five days then," Tom didn't finish his sentence but Miles got the gust.
"The dungeon break, isn't it just low-level dungeons." Miles asked.
"Just? Low-level dungeons contain tier 1 and tier 2 monsters." Fredd took another look at Miles. 'Is he saying nonsense?'
"Come on, lets go." Freddie said.
With a nod Miles quickly went to the church and brought out a tier 1 spear from the pocket space. The staff with Cassie was also tier 1.
Tom looked at the spear in his hand and raised a brow. 'How did he get a tier 1 spear'
The others noticed this as well, maybe Miles was actually stronger than the first impression they got from him.
"So what are you guys called?" Miles asked.
"We're the newcomers, the newcomers in the apocalypse" Freddie answered.
They left the graveyard, and began a journey to the Grandiose Hotel.
"Hey, why don't we enter one of these cars?" Miles looked at all the empty vehicles on the street.
"Because that's how to attract the monster's, with noise" Freddie answered. They were walking on the pavement, as they turned the corner they saw a humanoid crawling up a building.
SCREECH!
With a guttural screech, it crawled and jumped from building to building, making its way closer to them. Fredd held the gold medal on his chest, his skin seemed to change to gold.
As it got closer, Miles finally saw its level.
[Level 40]
The creature lunged at them, with a heavy swing. Freddie punched the creature so hard, it's head exploded. He picked up the white light.
SCREECH! BARGH! GROWL!
A cacophony of noise came from the surroundings, multiple humanoid monsters rushed to their location.
"You know how to use that?" Ronald asked while pointing to the spear in Miles hand.
"Knock yourself out" Miles gave him the spear.
With a smile, Ronald and Freddie rushed foward. While Freddie used brute strength to pulverise the creatures, Ronald used the spear with great dexterity.
Miles was awe struck as he watched. Tom gathered wind in his hand, he formed a mini cyclone and sent it towards a group of monsters.
"Don't you think it's odd that level 40 monsters are probably the weakest around. There fast and strong, yet its like we have special powers to take down these monsters." Cassie stood beside Miles and explained. The monsters were getting stronger rapidly.
"Freddie can absorb the properties of the things he touches, Ronald can use any weapon with a hundred percent efficiency and Tom can control the wind, although he needs to infuse Mana in it." Cassie said with a smug smile.
"And what about you?" Miles asked.
"I'm the last resort for escape, what about you Miles?" Cassie gave a vague description of her powers.
"Telekinesis, but it's not so powerful" Miles said.
Cassie raised a brow.
Miles focused on a fragment on the floor, it floated after a while then flew foward only for it to collapse halfway.
"So you're useless?" Cassie asked, she was the only one carrying a heavy bag with their belongins. If Miles couldn't contribute much, she schemed to pass on the burden.
"I'm not useless, watch this." Miles created a big telekinetic bubble, he compressed it and sent it to the midst of some monsters, before he blew it up, he paused.
"Wait, are they trying to fight as quietly as possible?"
With a roll of her eyes Cassie replied "yeah, if not more of those monsters would gather"
Miles brought back the explosive sphere and placed it in his pocket space.
Marie handed him the bag with a smile.
Miles took the staff in her hand instead. 'There are slow' Miles thought and rushed foward. He whacked his way through the mob of monsters.
THUD!
A soft thud reverberated through the surroundings. "What was that?" Miles activated his thermal perception. Lo and behold a massive heat signature was making its way towards them. About 15 blocks away.
"Guys a massive monster is coming here, about 14 blocks away." Miles yelled
THUD!
Freddie also felt the vibration. They went back to meet Cassie, Freddie brought out a jar from the bag. He opened it up and gave a nod to Tom.
Tom channeled Mana into the air turning it blue, he swept up all the lights and placed them in the jar. They put the jar in the bag and looked at cassie.
She walked to a store nearby and touched the mirror. "Where to?" She asked.
THUD!
"The pond in the park. Its far from here and closer to the hotel." Freddie responded after some thought.
Cassie focused Mana on the glass screen, the reflection on the window gradually changed to the sky.
Cassie established the link, then she passed out.
THUD!!
Freddie held her and jumped through the glass pane. Ronald carried the bag and jumped through second, Miles also hoped into the glass.
He came a bit closer to the sky and fell into a pond. He looked at the trees around and Ronald pulled him from the pond, like a magic scene. Tom jumped out from the surface of the pond and fell on it.
"Whoa!" Miles looked at the unconscious Cassie with a little bit of admiration.
They left the park and went to a nearby house. They broke in and Freddie's skin finally turned back human. Miles picked up a smoking pack and threw out the cigars inside.
He put a red light in the pack. This way, he can bring out another spear.
Everyone went to rest, Freddie stayed on a double sofa near the window. He was keeping an eye out. Miles sat near him.
'He's panting heavily' Miles noticed Freddie's heavy breathing.
"Don't worry about me, from a delivery guy to a super powered apocalypse ontaker" Freddie said with a smile.
"How did you get that tier 1 staff" Miles had seen their strength, they probably couldn't take out a tier 1 creature.
"I was in an apartment room of four. After Ronald and I woke up, we saw the messages and two cocoons. Ronald use an electric screw driver to open one of the cocoons, it took more than an hour. While he did the same for the other, the screw driver broke when it was almost done. I absorbed the properties of the cocoon and smashed it open, a white light and red light dropped."
"Oh, same here. I finished off some cocoons myself after weaking them." Miles brought out the cigarette pack and held the red light inside.
A tier 1 spear materialised in his hand.
"But why don't you use this spear, it should be stronger than gold" Miles suggested.
Freddie shook his head.
"When I absorbed the properties of the cocoon, I could only maintain it for a couple of seconds. My constitution is too low to absorb properties far from a normal human. All these new metals could kill me if I trird that before I reach tier 1. The best thing is diamond, it's also made of carbon like us human beings."
"So did you know the rest of them from before?"
"Yeah, we were more than this." Freddie pulled on his hair.
"I couldn't protect all of them" he looked exasperated.
"Freddie!" Cassie came tumbling through a room. "Look what I found in the drawer," Cassie pulled out a wedding ring.
Freddie stood up and wore the ring, he touched the diamond on top and his skin no longer seemed normal. It looked transparent and sturdy just like a diamond.
Ronald and Tom were also in the room. He took the spear from Ronald and stabbed his foot, the spear barely left a nick on his skin.
He turned normal again and thanked Cassie with a smile. She smiled back at him and asked "so we're going home now?"
Freddie looked at Miles.
Miles shook his head.
"Yeah were going to our houses, one by one." He brought down the bag and gave Miles some blue and white striped candles.
"These are Mana candles, they even work under water. A casual drop from monsters." He gave them to Miles.
Miles opened the cigarette pack and skillfully brought out the nunchucks.
"Yeah and take this, for close range" He gave them to Ronald.
After they said their farewell, they made their way to the bathroom.
Cassie touched a mirror, it rippled and soon another room came into view.
They all hoped in one after the other.
"Safety precaution, take care Miles" Freddie said and hoped in.
Miles saw Cassie on the other side, she stuck her tongue out and the reflection returned to normal.
Miles looked at the eight candles they gave him. "I definitely killed more than eight monsters" he pouted.
