Do you know how hard it is to sneak in a vent with a propane tank? Well I do and it’s fucking hard it’s taking so long to move without making noises my sneak skill has reached level ten and evolved into a better version while my shadow step is still stuck on level nine.
I wonder what shadow step will turn into after I hit level ten and the 2x growth feature to this skill is amazing, I got a 1x when it was at level five then it added another when it reached level nine. I think I understand how to level up passive skills now, the harder it is the more experience you gain same as levels however my two skills are not increasing anymore from climbing through the vents.
So I was right when about gaining stats on my own, when I finally got to the vent overlooking the gym I saw the goblin chief sitting on a makeshift throne made from wood, the goblins were sitting around the room chatting about killing the students here while screams from more survivors drew my attention. The survivors were held in cages made from wood and table legs but could easily be broken out of, the only thing that is keeping the survivors in the cages are the guards in front of the cages. The cages are far enough away to keep the survivors safe from the blast but the problem is the projectiles after, well if they die they die I won’t shed a tear for them but if they do survive I will at least tell them about the others. I open the grate of the vent and threw the propane tank towards the center, it surprised everyone in the room even the survivors. The chief saw me but before he could even call the other goblins I shot the flare into the tank exploding it on impact, it was a quick explosion but devastating for the goblins.
I climbed down from the vent and pulled out my trusty sword, the scene was grotesque even for me. Limbs of goblins everywhere, screams of the injured echoed through my ears but it didn’t stop me from continuing my assault. I sliced each goblins head off one at a time but fast enough for most to die before they could even act; I was finishing off another goblin when an arrow stuck into my shoulder. The arrow head pierced through the other end of my shoulder luckily my endurance was high so the pain wasn’t as bad but it still fucking hurt. I turned around to see two goblins with bows pointed at me, they were sweating bullets as they stared at my latest victim, I flicked my sword spraying the dark green blood onto the wood floor as I locked onto my next vict I mean opponents. I picked up the body of the fallen goblin then threw it at the two archers, I charged at them before it landed so I had enough time to get to them before they recovered. I went to the goblin the left first, it was about to release a arrow but I swung my sword severing its hand from its wrist.
The goblin archer dropped its bow and tried to run away but I sliced its Achilles heel crippling its leg, I walked towards it and severed its head. I walked back to the other goblin and was about to severe it head when the bastard stuck an arrow into my leg, I gave a small grunt as the pain went through my body. I decided to give it a little punishment before I kill it, I chopped off each limb it had but first I cut each connecting part of it with the hands I cut its fingers off then went to its joints and cut them off and finally I cut the rest of the arm off. I did the same with the legs but with more things to cut, when that was done I finally killed it. I decided to go through the room to check for survivors since the notifications won’t come unless all the monsters in the area are taken care of. As I was walking towards the chief’s throne I started to hear groaning from behind it, as I approached I saw the chief was stuck under a steel beam that fell on top of it. The goblin’s arm and leg were crushed while his right shoulder had a metal shard stuck in it; the goblin looked at me with hate in its eyes but then closed its eyes like it was waiting for the end. I couldn’t help but respect this creature for its courage not many creatures would accept death but this one did, I knelt down beside it and grabbed its hand which caused it to open its eyes and looked at me. I nodded towards it as I brought my sword towards its throat, when I was about to kill it the damn thing started to cry which made me feel even worse but it had to be done. I separated its head from its shoulders followed by notifications.
Oh now that is cool, I can choose my reward also I got a few new skills and titles, I kind of want to go cry in a corner because of the first title but the rest are alright. Well I guess I choose the book seeing how it gives knowledge along with a skill and can be reused.
If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
Well it’s best to just accept the gift and besides I would rather have this skill to myself anyway, I learned it and the knowledge of the skill flowed into my mind like last time.
Okay I think this skill is a little OP but the drawback is it takes more effort to level things up learned along with skills being 10% weaker, so in reality it’s a give and take skill but what did the book turn into?
Why this is considered an E grade book? Oh well let’s learn it anyway, when I learned it all the knowledge of it flowed into my mind along with the reason why it is an E rank book. These books are grade on survivability so daily life magic is useless when it comes to combat unless you plan on cleaning your enemy.
Well in the apocalypse this actually really convenient and I am sure women would like these more than men. I turned around and walked towards the now broken cage which held the survivors, looks like the guards took most of the attack but some of the others look a little injured but nothing to serious. I pull the cage door off and they run out of the cage, when I was about to say something I was interrupted and yelled at.
“WHAT THE HELL YOU COULD HAVE KILLED US?!” (Muscle brain)
“YA IF THOSE THINGS WEREN’T IN THE WAY WE COULD HAVE DIED! (MUSCLE BRAINS GIRLFRIEND)
“Hold on let him speak, I am sure he has something to tell us.” (Gym Teacher)
“Thanks now before I was rudely interrupted I was about to say there are survivors held up in the cafeteria, you can get there by using the vents.” (Me)
The muscle brain is a 6’5 giant with budging muscles which an effect of steroids, his girlfriend is one of the most attractive girls that was in the school but she was a rich snob so she has a horrible personality. The gym teacher is a middle aged man with a well-toned body but sadly he has a rat face so most people stay away from him as best as they can.
“Oh before you go a little bit of advice, when you get to the cafeteria speak to Mike.” (Me)
“Will do and thanks for saving us even if some of us don’t seem grateful.” (Gym teacher)
“Well I hope we meet up again in the future, just don’t die.” (Me)
Class president POV
It’s been an hour since I have woken up and things have been going on way too fast for me to even understand what’s going on. I remember us being captured by those creatures and then being rescued by the school outsider, after that I passed out from the pain after he gave me the weird red drink. After I woke up I got blue screens popping up around my face and a dagger that was stabbing me in the side, when I talked to the rest of the others everyone blew me off except for mike. It turns out Zander was the one that gave me the dagger to protect myself with, I wish I could do something for him but what can I do I couldn’t even face the class bullies. As mike was about finished with his discoveries on this system thing we heard a explosion not too far away, everyone was terrified but mike was calm for some reason oh right didn’t he say Zander took a propane tank with him?
After a while of everyone finally relaxing we heard banging in the vents, the others grabbed anything they could and were about to smash the intruders heads in with spare mop handles. When the vent finally got kicked open we saw the rat face of the gym teacher, actually I think those creatures might be slightly more handsome than the gym teacher. He climbed out with two others but no one greeted them instead the others were starring at them like they were the enemy still, finally after a few moments of total silence Mike walked up to them and started talking with them.
“So Sam I take it Zander made it okay? (Mike)
“Ya even if he tried to blow us up in the process.” (Sam)
“Well knowing you I doubt a small explosion can kill you after all you were known for doing dangerous things when we were in college together.” (Mike)
“Your right but I never blew up a propane tank in the gym.” (Sam)
“No you did it in the parking lot right next to the principles Bug.” (Mike)
“Hahahaha you got me there Mike but all seriousness are we just going to stay here and wait for rescue to arrive?” (Sam)
“Well that is the rests plan for me I plan on heading out in a little bit since we can’t stay here for long, the power is out and the best have is the gas stoves and the few lights that the system hasn’t disabled.” (Mike)
“So can you tell me what is up with Zander he is different than before.” (Sam)
“I wouldn’t know since I just talked to him today but I think that he is in his element here, after hearing some of the things about him I think it is easier for him to deal with this than everyone else since he has nobody to care for except for himself.” (Mike)
“if that was the case why did he save the other girls and didn’t leave me behind when we were captured, it would have been easy to do along with giving me a potion and a knife to me I don’t think he is thinking about himself.” (Class president)
“You don’t understand what I am saying Shana, he has no one to tie him down and so he is doing things on his own pace and now that there are no rules he is not restraining himself what we are seeing from him is the real Zander and just like him we will see everyone’s true nature eventually.” (Mike)
As much as I wanted to deny what he said it was the truth for bad or worse we will see the ugly side of our race.
