《Saga of Osin》Chapter 5
Advertisement
This street is empty. We move out to the adjacent street. My companions draw a sharp breath. It is pure chaos. Flames dye the sky with a crimson hue and a heat-wave rushes at us. Zombies, ghouls, vampires, rotting hounds, Hundred-Face Giants, and on and on it went.
"Do you guys have a map of the city?" I ask them. Ake shakes his head.
"This is my first week in the city, I need a general lay-" I can't finish. There is a zombie rushing at us. I want to shrink back and let Ake deal with it. It is the logical choice considering I'm injured. Instead, I move forward.
There are two reasons for my decision. I'm not that injured if I'm being honest with myself, if I was I wouldn't be so energetic. Secondly, I have to get comfortable with this.
I shove my sword forward and it lodges into the zombie's flesh. It is unaffected. I jump back a few steps. Ake moves forward.
"No!" I shout at him. "How do I deal with it?" He is surprised by my words. I don't doubt it, I did lead him down into a dumb situation with the priest.
"Crush its head." He steps back, leaving the enemy to me. I use the flat part of my short-sword and crush its head into a pulp. It isn't moving anymore. Instead just twitching.
There is a brief sense of victory flowing through me. I look up and just a giant horde of zombies is rushing down the street. Time to be a coward again.
We turn tail and start running in the opposite direction. Kogo leads us down an alley-way. I don't think we should trust her too much, she did abandon everyone back there but what choice do we have?

She leads us through a maze of winding alleyways and streets. Every-time we chance open a zombie we turn and avoid it. All of a sudden we are out on a massive open street.
Giant stone walls tower above me. These are the city walls delineating the boundary between the city and the outside.
I think we're on the other end of the city from where it was breached. We start running down by its side. All of a sudden I trip over and fall down. A sharp rock stabs into my abdomen. The air rushes out of my lungs and I gasp.
Ake grabs me by the arm and hauls me up. We run and run and then we see a giant hole in the wall. "The gate was here!"
I don't care, all I see is a way out. We climb over the sizzling hot rocks and move out. I think a meteor was used to flatten this part of the wall. It seems like we aren't the only ones with this idea, there is crowd of people along with us.
We run and run and run. People are moving around from us but most of us are like a congealed mass. Our run turns into a sprint and then a slow walk but we kept on walking until nightfall. It is more dangerous to continue but we force ourselves to move forward until we reach a river.
Instead of moving forward we collapsed by it. My white shirt was in tatters now and my pants weren't in a much better condition. At least, they're covering me for now.
We crawled over to the river and drank a large amount of water from it. Hundreds of other people were doing the same. I have no doubt that there are a large amount of people coming in from behind us.

My eye-lids are heavy and my body is aching and hurting all over. I force them to stay open and think Status.
The screen pulls up in front of me.
[Name: —— ] It was blank.
[Class: ——- ]
[Titles: 2 ] 2? How did I get two? I tap at it to open.
[Vein's Wrath]
[First Alien] That's an odd one. I think it might have to do with my reincarnation here.
I break it down further and there is an explanation. [You are the first Earthling to step foot in this world. As such, you have been granted with an extra skill.]
The idea breeds excitement throughout my weak body. I go back to my Status screen. Thre is a skill tab there and I open it.
[Skills: 2]
[Create Will]
[Exp: 0]
[You have the ability to create a will. A pseudo-magical creature that you can imbue with your desires.]
I also realize one other thing. There are no stats here. Most games have stats, they are brilliant quantifiers of a game player's strength. However, I don't see any such thing here.
I don't know how to activate this skill. I close my eyes and focus on the words Create Will. However, there is no effect. I don't know why.
My other skill is, [Contract]. I try to break it down further but its all blacked out. A red banner pops out: [Locked]. I don't think this one will activate either. Do I need mana or something along those lines? I should ask Ake about that but I have no strength left in my body.
I look over at him and he is sound asleep. Other people are here as well and I think they might have ill intentions but I can't think anymore. I just drift into sleep.

[Welcome to Server e-0001]
There is a new human standing in the exact same spot. She receives the same notification and is dressed in the same clothes as Osin.
She rubs her eyes and moves around for awhile. She'd been lying in bed when a white cloud had lodged itself into her eye and now here she was after some cryptic messages.
She moved towards the church first thing. The flames towering above the city terrified her. She walked in and was greeted by a ripped apart trap door. She looked down and the flickering lantern revealed the scene of carnage beneath her.
"Help...help..." A weak whisper reached her ears and thus, her destiny was afoot.
