”I can probably figure something out to keep its attention to a while but do you think you can actually hold out before the beast summits? Didn’t the mission information mention tiring or even forceable submitting the beast to our will?”

The pair’s pace slowed as they made their way up the hill, Nikolas was a bit nervous about the whole situation. While he did have some offensive skills, he wasn’t sure how well they would work in the case of the beast rushing him. “You know, you’re pretty fast and slippery. Maybe we can bait the beast to chase us down and wear them out?” He pushed a bit of the hair in his face out of the way. The day was still young and the breeze from the late fall was surprisingly warm for this time of year. If he had nothing better to do, Nikolas might have just laid amongst the grassy fields for a nap. He doubted Emir would have stopped him. The two seemed to be of somewhat similar personalities. Perhaps when this mission was done, they could find somewhere nearby to relax and unwind. This new world was stressful and unfamiliar. It would be nice to have an actual friend.

Alice? Cheshire? Was she comparing them to that children’s novel? Whatever, Nikolas didn’t care. All he was worried about was getting the fuck out of this damn dungeon. Skye was powerful, there was no doubt there. Her skills were lethal and packed quite a punch. It seemed that she would be the best to lead this rag tag team. Emir was able to move somehow through the bars and even the vampires themselves. Would the three of them combined really be able to escape?



As the two vampires that were injured tried to recoup, Nikolas fired off his golden bolt at the mouthy vampire and watched as the creature seemed to burst away into nothing but pixels. That was when a small blue box appeared before him.







So killing these people gave you points? Like experience points? He had so many questions but knew right now was not the time to ask. The other two vampires were both on the ground for the moment. They were trying to recoup but the trio had already passed them up and ran into the stairway. As they left the room, Nikolas quickly shut the door behind them, leaving the other two trapped down there. ”Okay, now what do we do?” He asked the other two as they seemed more incline to lead that pack than he was.

Nikolas wiped the tears from his eyes as Skye spoke to him. He couldn’t help it. He wasn’t built mentally for this. Still, tears wouldn’t help in this sort of situation, only action did. He nodded to the girl and stood up. Stepping over the broken bars, he turned his attention toward the voices coming from behind the large door at the end of the dungeon. A small screen popped up again before him to ask him to join Emir’s party. He quickly accepted and then felt a connection to the two. A gold light seemed to pulse from Nikolas and radiate with his two new party members. That was when a golden screen appeared.







While Nikolas was not a part of the selection for the buff, Skye and Emir were. Was this his role? The supporter of the group? ” How did you all see your abilities? Is there some sort of menu?” By saying the word menu, the screen shows all of Nikolas’ information and skills. He was a bit dumbfounded. “Wow, so I do have some cool attack skills too huh?” He muttered to himself as he read. It seemed his class was pretty well-rounded. His core ability was quite interesting though. The ability to not only fire off a golden ball of light but also copy the skills of those that he is around. That would likely come in very handy.



By the time he was done reading, the door had been busted open and three vampires were standing there snarling at the three escapees. “I told you I heard them. Screw keepign them alive for food, end these suckers' lives and we’ll collect more later.” Nikolas stood behind Skye but held his hand out making a motion like a gun. Within a second, a golden ball of light shot out and slammed right into the chest of the vampire that initiated the conflict. While it did not immediately kill him, it did cause him to stammer backward as a tuff of smoke could be seen on his chest. Perhaps, his light-based abilities would be deadly to these children of the night

“Finally, back in Europe.” A smile crossed the face of the young male. While he was only in the Great Britain area of Europe, it was closer to his home than he had been in months. The only thing that separated him from his home country was a small narrow straight of water. He clenched his fist with determination. It had been nearly two weeks since he had found himself in that damp dungeon. After two weeks of having to survive the chaos of the new world. He had wandered through half of the continental USA it seemed but finally found a waypoint to here, the Countryside.



The green hills seemed to roll on for miles at a time. Nikolas noticed a cluster of small homes and a large barn not too far from where he spawned. It would probably be best to head there first and see exactly where he was and if it was possible to get to the main area of Europe from here or if another Waypoint would be needed.

Just as he was brushing himself off, three more brown goblins rushed him from various trees that were in the same direction that the first two came from. He should have known that there were more lurking there, waiting for him to let his guard down. The golden light formed into a sparrow once more and clashed with the leader of the bunch head-on.







With his other hand, Nikolas caused a golden circle to appear. From it, thick golden ropes of light began to lash out at those before him. While he could control their movements, he was still getting the hang of it. They were crude and volatile. The ropes crashed into the monsters and sent them backward falling to the ground and dissipating like the others before them.

As the light crashed into the brush, a whimpering sound could be heard as a small brown goblin-looking creature stumbled out and collapsed.







He grinned. ”See, nothing to be afraid of. They’re way weaker than those bloodfuckers.” He said to himself to boost his own confidence. He didn’t have too long to soak up the glory. Right behind the first Hill Goblin, a second one came rushing out toward him. He was able to side step it’s initial attack but fumbled summoning his golden orb skill. The goblin turned and crashed right into Nikolas causing the pair to both fall to the ground.
