Lance couldn't even focus long enough to study the screen that all of a sudden appeared in front of him.

As soon as he got control of himself he immediately ran away.

Run. Run. Run. Run. RUN. RUN. RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN!

All he could think about was to run as fast as he could, away from all the dangers around him.

"I must survive! I must survive!! I must survive!!!" Lance constantly said to himself.

All around him was just constant destruction and fear.

The monster were quickly picking off humans wherever he looked.

The birds would dive and either pick up a person or just land and eat them whole, not even giving a chance for the person to react.

The worms were even more frightening. The only way you knew they were coming was from the rumbling of the earth before they come out from beneath you.

Then there were the skinny monsters with scythes for fingers just running around slicing people like they were made out of paper.

Then giants were not only intimidating from the size, but their power could easily crush cars and the people inside them.

The ferocity and frequency of the killing were not even the worst part of it. The giant and skinny monsters were basically acting like this entire slaughter was nothing more than a game. But I guess that is what you expect from a force that can't even fight back. It is like how humans are bugs and we are now the ones being squashed. Talk about karma.

The laughter from the monsters played in Lance's head over and over again. It was enough for any man to lose their sanity. Nightmares will definitely plague those who survive for years to come.

While Lance was running, he heard a particular blood curdling scream that made him stop and look at the source.

When Lance looked, he immediately recognized who it was. It was Garrett, running from one of the giants, or at least trying to. Garrett had just been cornered and he has been screaming for help when the giant crushed him, causing him to scream.

Garrett had fear and pain all over his face and the giant was just laughing as he picked up Garrett and started to slowly torture him.

Lance couldn't help but watch, as he saw Garrett's limbs get crushed one by one, following with the most soul shattering screams Lance had ever heard. The giant finally got bored and crushed him, ending Garrett suffering.

Lance couldn't help but shudder at he looked at the beast more closely, when all of a sudden he noticed a box above the monster's head.

Mountain Troll lvl 30

What the hell!? These things have levels! What, is this some sort of game? Lance couldn't help but think to himself.

Then Lance remembered the screen he saw before and opened up his status before starting to run again. He noticed he was only lvl 1.

"What!?!?!? Are you serious!? these things are way too strong and over powered!" Lance couldn't help but exclaim out loud.

Hearing Lance, the mountain troll turned around. It then looked directly at Lance and grinned. Lance couldn't help but shudder in fear.

The mountain troll then roared as it started to charge at Lance. It gripped it's hammer as it was ready to squash Lance like a pancake.

Lance quickly got control of himself and dived to the side as the hammer just barely missed him. He did however get a few scratches just from the pressure of the blow.

I can not let that thing even touch me, otherwise even if I manage to get away, it will be with broken bones. There would be no way I would survive the rest of the day, Lance thought to himself.

The troll started to growl. It seemed a bit upset that Lance got away.

Lance then picked himself up and immediately started to run. The troll quickly chased after Lance in a furious rage. There was no way it would let a single prey escape from him.

Lance was quite lucky that the troll was naturally slow, as it couldn't catch up to him. However Lance soon understood he couldn't rest for even a bit, because this beast had a lot more stamina than he did.

If he couldn't find away to lose this troll, he would become just like Garrett. There was no way he would let that happen.

As he was being chased down the street of campus, one of the large birds appeared in front of him.

Nycor lvl 25

Lance didn't really understand what he just saw. When he saw monsters, he assumed they came out of a fairy tale or something. But seeing the name of the monster showed him that maybe there is more to this than he thought.

Lance quickly recovered himself from his state of mind because he remembered something incredibly important. He was currently running for his life!!!!!!

The troll roared in anger as it hated the fact that it couldn't catch up to Lance. The roar then caught the attention of the Nycor in front.

The Nycor then proceeded to dive at Lance. Lance immediately felt trapped. If he would dive to avoid the bird he would stop in his tracks. Then the troll would catch him.

Lance then saw a skinny alleyway just up ahead. It would be able to fit him and maybe the monsters wouldn't be able to chase him.

He then used all the strength in his legs to dive into the area. Unfortunately, it was littered with garbage, including broken bottle, so he got scratches all over his body. But hey, it was better than the alternative.

The Nycor and the troll then collided since they were coming for the same prey from different angles. They then proceeded to fight, mostly because the troll was already angry and this bird just got in his way, causing his prey to escape.

Lance immediately picked himself up and proceed to move down the alley and turn the corner so he could take a break. He needed to remove pieces of glass from his shoulder and side or else the wound could get worse.

The process was painful but he knew that it was necessary. He was just fortunate enough that his legs didn't get injured. If he couldn't run, he couldn't survive.

Lance checked out his status and he notice something that caused his heart to stop for a second.

His stamina which had a max of 50, was now only at 10. If he just kept on running, then he would have ran out of stamina. He did not want to think about what would happen if he ran out of stamina.

His health only went down by 15 so that was fine, but now he has to be even more careful than before.

Lance quickly rested since he was safe for the moment, but he knew he wouldn't be safe for long. If one of those skinny monsters found him, he will have only a little chance to survive. Unlike the trolls, they were fast.

It took 4 minutes for his stamina to recharge. It apparently replenished 10 points per minute. Lance recorded the time using his phone. Information can be the difference between life and death.

Lance proceeded to walk carefully through the alleyway. He saw a couple people cowering in a dumpster, but other than that there was nothing.

He reached the end of the alley. He carefully peeked his head out and looked around. He saw a troll chasing a group of people and one of those skinny guys clawing a man.

Sharp-Fingered Psycho lvl 20

Now Lance really did not like that name. If he could, he would make sure to avoid those the most at all cost. Even if they were lower level than everything he has seen so far, Lance knew they were probably the most unpredictable.

Lance then had an idea. He could avoid most of the monsters if he went into a building. A building didn't have that much space to run but with monsters all over the streets, it would still probably be safer.

Lance then looked and saw that the recreational center was the closest building to him. He knew it quite well since Derek always went there to pump iron. He always said that ladies like a nice body.

Lance then slipped into the recreational center. He could now stop and think about everything that has happened so far.

Lance went into the most secure place he knew in that building, which was the locker room that had multiple exits. Some paths into the gym, while others went into the track or swimming pool.

Lance understands himself very well. He knows that his best trait is his ability to analyze anything. It is the very reason why he feels like a bystander in the world. He analyzes everything and thinks about them to such a critical level that they appear insignificant in the overall picture, like petty arguments.

God says that he wants us to understand what it means to get stronger and to have the ability to survive. I understand the survive part, but how are we supposed to get stronger if we are treated like toys? Lance thought.

Lance then remembered how God said that today is going to be different from the rest of his new system. Yea, today was meant to kill off the weak, whatever that means.

Lance started to get a headache as he kept thinking of the different ways of being weak, like intelligence wise, strength wise, and all other different ways. This was the first time his gift truly backfired on him, but how was he supposed to understand what God wants of him?

Lance decided to stop thinking about it so deeply and to just try to survive for the first 24 hours. But how is he supposed to do that if there are literally monsters everywhere?

All of a sudden, a couple of people barged into the locker room. Apparently Lance wasn't the only one who had that idea.

They appeared to be a set of two men and two women.

"Are we finally safe?" one of the girls said.

"I don't know. I just don't know." said one of the guys.

They looked as afraid as one would expect when facing an apocalypse, but Lance didn't like the situation. He all of a sudden had a bad feeling.

As he was thinking this, the ground started to rumble.

Lance then finally realized his mistake. For the locker room to be able to link up to different areas, had to be underground...

"Shit!!! Get up the stairs!" Lance yelled, however it was already too late.

A giant worm appeared below the group and one of the girls was immediately swallowed whole while one of the guys had his arm torn off.

Devourer lvl 25

Lance immediately ran straight up the stairs and thought the fact that he was truly fortunate right now. If it was just him, he would have no way of getting away from the worm. But because there were more people closer together, the worm picked them off first.

Lance mind went under a change at that moment. The experience of being so close to death made him realized he needed to change how he thought.

Instead of constantly thinking about the big picture, he needs to focus all of his thoughts on each moment because any moment can be his last.

Lance then focused his entire mind on his senses and his body. His eyes watching everywhere at all times.

His ears listening to the slightest noise, to give him the extra time to react.

His touch feeling for the slightest abnormal vibration coming from the ground.

Any information that could be considered useful he would grasp as soon as could.

The only thing that ever passed trough his head was Survive.

Lance went up the next flight of stairs, this area was usually where they had classes for the students majoring in Health and Fitness.

However, Lance did not go into any of the classrooms. It would be a great hiding spot but if he was found by anything, then he would be cornered with no way out.

He just stood away from the stairs, next to a wall so he didn't have to use as much energy standing plus he could move in any direction as soon as possible.

Lance took this time to just focus on his senses. It was a huge mental strain to constantly focus and he needed to get used it. If there was anyone who could see him, they would immediately think he was the paranoid type.

He decided to move to the window. Even though the scene outside was gruesome, he needed to focus on it, get used to it, only then will he be able to fight with his full strength in the future.

He went to the side of the window and peered carefully outside. He focused his hearing on the stairs while using his vision outside.

He watched as people were getting picked off one by one. It was truly a gruesome scene, but Lance forced himself to watch, to observe.

During this process, he noticed a few things. The psychos were truly quick and had two methods of attacking, slicing and piercing.

He also noticed that when trolls attacked with their hands, it was slower than with their hammer, it must must be for the enjoyment of feeling bones breaking and their prey suffering.

Lance focused for 10 minutes just on the destruction and cruelty going on outside. But to Lance, every second felt like minutes and every minute felt like hours.

Each one of those seconds he could not stop focusing on the monsters. If they ever let their guard down, their weakness would be shown and he must learn of it.

10 more minutes passed and Lance all of a sudden heard a couple of noises.
