Spencer watched Artemis begin distracting the statue, which gave him the perfect opportunity to throw the book and hopefully steal the ability of this creature. He focused and drew his right arm back, aiming, and shoving his arm forward at the creature, imagining the book colliding with its head. The book floating around his head paused for just a second before shooting off towards the statue, flapping gently as it did.

The book, thanks to Argent, collided with the target. The statue paused on its mid swing towards Argent and its head slowly turned to look at Spencer, the book now circling Spencer's head again. The statue's book arms immediately crumbled to the ground, becoming lifeless. Spencer cocked his head slightly and closed his eyes, the books at the statue's feet began to vibrate before swarming towards Spencer. "This isn't a bad thing." He called out to Argent as the books mimicked what it was doing to the statue with Spencer's own arms.

"Now. Shall we changed this up a bit?" Spencer opened his eyes and reached his right arm back, the books following with the movement and acting like an extension of his arm. The arm swings at the statue, colliding with its torso. "Not sure if you can capitalize on this action, but maybe try to shatter it?" He called to Argent and set his left arm at the statue as well, trying to pin it down to the ground. He could already feel the ability fading as he concentrated. This stealing skill does not last long unfortunately.

Spencer nodded as the man gave his response, mentally taking notes of the names of both him and the flying creature in the air. "It is nice to meet you Jack and Garuda." Even though he was not given an answer on the question about the mission, he assumed that he was correct in his assessment that he was indeed going towards the mission marker. Spencer looked on his map and then looked back at Jack, pondering for a moment. "Would you like to work on this together? I know the area, well I knew the area before the world changed. I could possibly guide us to where I believe the poorest part of the city is." He cocks his head at the offer, it being both an offer and a question.

Spencer will wait a moment before walking towards the location, either with or without Jack in tow. "How did you head about this mission? Did you come to the area to do this, or did you come to London for another reason?" He tossed the question behind him to Jack and pulled out his journal, writing a few things down. This person has randomly shown up here and is going to help the community. Altruistic tendencies are hard to come by, especially nowadays. I don't mistrust him, I just don't trust him yet. He let his mind run for a moment while walking.

Spencer would then come upon the area he was aware of, having been walking for about 20 minutes. The place did not look good even before the world changed, but now.... it looked awful. It mimicked the stereotype of a poor-mans alley within many medieval and renaissance styled media that have circulated before the change. There were a collection of people wandering about, shaking a cup for change, and trying to stay warm when it was not that cold out. To the right, where the marker was, was a larger container of food and water and some tools. "I suppose this is the place and the items."

He nodded in agreement, everything did indeed seem like a video game in a way. The classes, skills, map, boss, everything all pointed to that concept. It was a bit foreign to him as he never really played video games before. He didn't enjoy playing them solo, and he did not have a lot of people in his life, not to mention a limit of people that would want to play the games with him. When she mentioned she felt like she was dreaming, his heart sank a bit. He felt the same way too, and he was starting to accept the fact that this might be more real than he had assumed and hoped. Don't think about that now, you have a lot going on and worrying about your reality will just throw you into a tail spin. He sighed and turned to follow Argent as she spoke about getting to the end to fight the boss.

Unfortunately, the both of them were interrupted by other people calling out for help. The two quickly found people barricading themselves in against a... moving marble statue? He cocked his head in confusion and quickly pulled out a notebook, writing things down. "Well that's... wow." He muttered and put the notebook away. He flinched as it drew its book arms back and destroyed one of the tables. He was going to ask Argent if they were going to interfere, but it looks as if Argent had already made that decision. He sighed quietly to himself and thought about the skills that he had access to. Research, I suppose that should work.

He focuses his eyes on the statue and his irises start to rapidly blink, going from white to black. ""Literature Smash"" came to mind almost immediately. He stumbled back a step, the voice in his head sounding crystal clear as if he was being yelled at. O-Okay, name, I've seen it, now I hit him? He looked worried for a moment and sent the book flying out at the statue, hoping to hit true on the thing's face.

"H-Hey! Keep it distracted! I'm gonna try to give it a taste of its power." He calls to Argent, not giving any more of an explanation.

Spencer began to follow the highlighted icon on his overlay screen to begin the mission that he had accepted. The mission did not seem that difficult, and it would be nice to gather information around the London area. Spencer adjusted the jacket he was wearing, the temperature being colder than he expected, but still warm enough to be enjoyable. How would I want to assist those who need assistance? Talking to people isn't the best, but I also cannot build much. I suppose I could gather food and water and hand it out to those that need it. He nodded to himself and walked towards the location with a new purpose, handing out food and water.

On the travel to the location, he was distracted by two things. The first being an individual walking towards the exact location that he was, possibly to conduct the mission he was doing. The second being the large creature flying in the sky. He paused and looked upwards, studying it. "Oh." He muttered and began to write something down in his notebook. His eyes briefly flicked up to look at the stranger, who was still gaining on where he was also going. I suppose doing this with someone else would be safer. He finished writing down what he was writing and put the book away.

"Hello, I'm assuming you're on the way for a mission to help those in need?" He cocks his head at the stranger, hoping he was talking at a volume they could hear. "My name is Spencer, may I ask what your name is? And do you know what the creature is in the air." Without looking up, he gestures above him towards the flying creature.

After a few minutes of running, exploring, and trying to keep his footing with the ever-changing landscape, he finally came upon Argent. He felt a bit better with seeing someone new, but he hated the fact that he couldn't wake up from this dream (which was slowly turning into a nightmare). He gave them a friendly, but small smile, and listened to them. They mentioned monsters, which gave Spencer the immediate urge to pause and grow more concerned. "Monsters? No I... I just started running and I ended up here." Why are you playing into this? It isn't real. He mentally chastised himself for being pulled into the events as this wasn't real, right?

The mention of 'Assassin' and 'Class' caused him to once again pause and grow worried to the information he was gathering. Spencer pulled out his notebook and began writing down what Argent was telling him. "I was given the choice of three classes on a floating screen, which I selected something called 'Silent Collector.' I wasn't given a weapon like yourself, but I can do this." He hadn't actually tried to do this yet, but Spencer was about to try. He focused for a moment and closed his eyes, imagining a book. Slowly, the image in his mind became real. A blank and blue covered book materialized in mid air around Spencer's head.

"Well, I can do that I suppose." Spencer honestly did not expect that to happen, but was excited all the same. "And I'm quiet when I move." He didn't think talking about his research ability was going to be that useful in a scenario like this. "Did you see the pop up on how we beat this tutorial? We have to defeat someone?" He was ready to finish this dream and wake up. "And, where exactly do we have to go?"

Okay, he wasn't FULLY ready to wake up, this was incredibly interesting.

Every day I feel as though I am dreaming, and every day I have to wake up again. He signed softly and looked around London, the city looking worse than he had ever seen it. He rubbed his eyes, already feeling a slight headache coming on from the stress of having to live in a world like... this. He was still able to live at home as his home was not taken away from the changing of the world, but everything else was still different and foreign to him. He opened up the bag he carried on over his shoulder and pulled out his notebook, writing some things down to keep track of.

A screen popped up on his screen and he looked at it for a moment, confused. A mission? Huh, I haven't done one of those before. He recalls briefly seeing screens like this as he traveled throughout the area, but he never did one. I should probably get this information at some point, considering the fact that I don't know what it all entails. He wrote down something in his notebook and finally hit 'accept' on the screen to start the mission.

Description: The world is in a state of disrepair and it needs defenders of the community to help rebuild it! Individuals need to help the community out in a myriad of ways; rebuilding destroyed building, giving out food or water to destitute individuals, or meeting a variety of individuals (NPC or PCs) and mending their broken faith.

I suppose I should get started? Or should I wait to do this with someone else? He looked around and wandered for a moment, hoping to find someone to join him on the mission.

"Room 12, Subsection C, Row 6, Unit F, Shelf 5, Container 2, Alice in Wonderland, 1st Edition." He muttered to the empty room as he entered it, the squeaking of his book cart's wheels echoing off the full shelves. Once he got to the destination, he reached up with two glove-covered hands and pulled it off the shelf. He quickly set it down on the metal cart and opened it up, coughing lightly and waving the dust from his face. He gingerly pulled the 1st Edition book from the container and laid it on a different shelf of his cart, this shelf being lined with a thick foam. "Okay, only 5 more to grab." He closes the container, puts it back on the shelf, and continues on with his check list.

He continues this routine of finding books, grabbing them, and moving to the next place for about 30 minutes before his checklist was completely done. "Well, that was not too difficult." Spencer smiled softly and crossed off the last thing on his checklist. He handed the cart off to the appropriate staff member and went to a small table in the back of the library, pulling out his laptop from a bag he had on his shoulder. Finally, I can actually read something myself. Spencer could not help but smile at the thought of being able to read something, one of the perks of working at a library.

Spencer attempted to navigate to an e-book he had saved on his laptop, but his laptop was taking a long time to load. He sat there for a minute, but nothing happened. He shrugged and walked to a random shelf and pulled a random book. "Hmm, Survive the Night by Danielle Vega. Never heard of her." He walked back to the desk and sat down, intending to read the book while he waited for his laptop to load.

---

    He spaced out while reading, forgetting about his laptop until a strange sound came from it with texting popping up. Shhh no talking while loading in. Spencer blinked confused. "What in the world..." He trailed off and reached forward, taping the screen of the laptop. Nothing happened for a moment. so he stood up and picked up his laptop, turning to in his hands to look at the bottom. Suddenly, a screen appeared in front of him, causing his laptop to fall from his hands and thud against the ground. "Shit!" He gasped and blinked, his eyes adjusting to the screen in front of him.

It was asking him... to pick a class? He cocked his head in confusion and read the three options:

1. Bookworm
2. Know it All
3. Silent Collector

    He looked at the options, assuming he was asleep. Silent Collector seems interesting enough. He thought, this dream being the strangest the ever had before. Spencer was unsure of how to accept, so he slowly reached forward, his right hand accepting the offering. Suddenly, an onslaught of information came at his face, detailing what this class was and what he could do. He quickly grabbed an empty notepad and began writing things down, have to be prepared even while you're dreaming.

[TUTORIAL] LIBRARY OF BEGINNINGS

OBJECTIVE: Defeat the Boss Sorcerer. If this mission is not completed within the allotted time, monsters will receive a massive buff and spawn rates will increase.

    This new screen made him worried. Fighting? He was going to have to fight something? He frowned and sighed, this was going to be an exciting dream. He attempted to will himself to wake up, but nothing happened when he did this. "Strange, I'm aware of myself dreaming, so why can't I wake up?" He muttered out loud.

    The sudden changing of scenery made him stumble and fall to the ground, the shelves, floor, walls, and ceiling all changing to be something that would definitely be out of Alice in Wonderland. He opened his mouth to say something in wonder, but a voice in the distance drew his attention. If I was dreaming, would I hear anyone else asking for help? The worry that he was fully awake was starting to hit him, but he ignored it, calling back. "Hello? Someone's out there?" He quickly got up and ran towards the source.

He noticed he made no noise while running, which is something that made him smirk. Perfect for a library.
