Lucious nodded. Say something about these blue screens, say they know what a good meal is.
Holding his knife and spoon tightly, Lucious jolted up, getting off the ground slightly backward, then as his foot hit the edge of his chair, he lunged forward, getting on top of the table, and away from the hand that attempted to claw at him.
Lucious turned around, keeping his center of gravity low enough for quick movement.
Level 7 Ghoul
Without a breath’s pause, the 5 feet Ghoul lunged forward again, swiping with both of its claws at Lucious’s feet. Having anticipated it, Lucious had jumped forward, already above the creature by the time it had overextended itself. Lucious extended his foot forward as he was in the air, pivoting his entire body upon the creature’s shoulder as he fell downward. With his entire weight, Lucious stabbed the creature’s neck as he fell. Avoiding the spine, the 3-inch kitchen knife had pierced all the way to its hilt, the momentum carrying it down four inches across the ghoul’s rotting skin.
CRITICAL HIT 100% INCREASED DAMAGE.
Backstabbed 50% increased damage.
Arteries hit, Applies 20% Per Sec Max HP Bleeding until healed.
As soon as Lucious completed his strike, he left the blade inside the creature's neck as he stepped slightly backward and ducked. The Ghoul immediately spun around with a screech, swiping at its assailant with its left hand, carrying the momentum of the turn with it.
Finding nothing, the creature’s attack once again threw it off balance, giving Lucious just enough time to fling himself from his crouching position. The creature being as tall as Lucious, easily allowed him to counter-attack. This time, his fork sunk itself a couple inches inside the beast’s eyeball.

CRITICAL HIT 100% INCREASED DAMAGE
Confusion and Half-Blindness Status inflicted
Now that Lucious was standing inches from its rot filled face, the creature would probably try to bear-hug him. The moment Lucious second blade pierced through, he took a half step backward, allowing himself just enough space to bring his leg in, and then out right into the center of the Ghoul’s chest, knocking the small beast into the table. It landed right on top of the table, splitting the table in two.
Luscious took a step back, panting heavily. Feeling the adrenaline inside his body, an old sensation was coming back, with it a hint of fear. Three seconds after, the Ghoul stopped thrashing

This shit is no dream, Lucious realized as he furtively glanced around. All the Ghouls were engaged, creating a massive slaughter. None of these men or women would be able to fight, and from what he could tell, there was one Ghoul for every two persons. The smart ones stayed and held their ground with whatever the could, while the stupid ones attempted to escape through the locked doors. This was a losing battle.
The blue screens hadn’t vanished yet, though they were transparent enough to see through. After promptly studying them, Lucious came up to the conclusion that he, in fact, did not know what the fuck was going on.
That did not matter, however, for his muscles were aching for more. Swallowing, Lucious surrendered himself to his urges. Thinking would come after he had sufficiently killed everything.

I Am Going To Die (In This Game-Like Dimension)
When mysterious portals start opening up around the world at large events, swallowing everybody, you’d think that would warrant some kind of danger pay when you have to sell hotdogs at a Comic-Con, right? ‘No, of course not; what are the odds of that happening here, out of all the big events in the world?’ Well, Emma was always pretty good at beating the odds when it came to shitty luck.
