FunTranscript
00:00:00Standing on top of the platform, Quinn had a clear view of the giant rat-like creatures coming towards him.
00:00:06Blood spray! 25 of 30 HP.
00:00:10The five rats out in front were sent flying back and toppling down the stairs.
00:00:14There was no longer any space for Quinn to go up.
00:00:17He turned around and the rats were just starting to ascend the second set of stairs.
00:00:21He started swinging his hands out rapidly, aiming carefully at each rat.
00:00:26Blood swipe! As the red claw-like lines left his hands, at the same time, he could hear multiple messages ding in his head.
00:00:33Raticlaw has been defeated. 100 EXP. 14 of 30 HP.
00:00:39The messages continued onward, until eventually, all of the rats had been killed.
00:00:44Quinn then fell to the floor on his knees, gasping for air.
00:00:485 of 30 HP.
00:00:50Blood bank has auto-activated.
00:00:5230 of 30 HP.
00:00:5550 milliliters remaining in blood bank.
00:00:581,040 of 1,600 EXP.
00:01:01Congratulations! Blood swipe has reached level 2.
00:01:04This meant the remaining blood in his bank would last him a total of 10 days.
00:01:09He didn't know how long he would be on this planet, but he needed to be careful about using his skills.
00:01:14There were only two good things that had come out of the whole situation.
00:01:18The fact that his blood swipe skill had leveled up.
00:01:21The second good thing that had come out of this was the EXP he had gained.
00:01:25Quinn then walked up to the dead beasts on the floor.
00:01:28Using the tip of his gauntlets, he tore open the beasts.
00:01:31He searched around inside the chest, looking for a glowing crystal.
00:01:35It was a small, round crystal ball with tiny little bumps all over, and around the same size as an adult's fist.
00:01:42Basic tier beast crystal obtained. Would you like to store it in your inventory?
00:01:47Quinn selected the yes option, and suddenly, the crystal in his hand slowly started to vanish away, and finally, it had completely disappeared.
00:01:55Quinn then went to extract the crystals from the remaining nine rats.
00:01:59The beast crystals could be used to turn into beast weapons or beast armor,
00:02:03but looking at the rat-like creature, Quinn had no idea what it could be used for.
00:02:08Even though the building he was in was safe, he was on a strict time scale and needed to find the portal back fast.
00:02:14As he looked around, all he could see were buildings that resembled human structures.
00:02:19That's when he spotted something. One of the buildings, without a doubt, had the same crest as the school he attended.
00:02:26So this really is a human shelter, but then why is it all ruined and destroyed?
00:02:31Quinn had recognized the building as they had one in the city he was currently in.
00:02:36It was the military storage room. It was where they kept all their high-end equipment, ability books, skill books, and beast weapons.
00:02:43There's a good chance the portal might be located in there.
00:02:46Unknown to the students at the school, there was currently chaos going on between the upper staff.
00:02:51Faye, one of the sergeants of the school, was walking down the hallway at incredible speed.
00:02:56Even though she was only walking, she was causing gusts of wind to hit the students as she walked past them.
00:03:02A single wooden door in the first-year building had a sign out front saying the words,
00:03:07Faye barged the door open and quickly zoomed to Nathan's desk.
00:03:11The wind that came along with her caused papers to be flown and scattered all over the room.
00:03:16Hey, I was nearly done with that, Nathan shouted.
00:03:19The portals have been used, Faye shouted. Two students seem to have been registered to have gone through them.
00:03:24Nathan started to pick up the papers that were scattered around the room, one by one.
00:03:29Is that all? Well, why don't you just go and get them back?
00:03:32I'm afraid it's because they have gone through a red portal, sir.
00:03:35Nathan then dropped all the piles of paper he had picked up from the floor.
00:03:39What? How did this happen? Weren't there meant to be guards stationed at the portal?
00:03:43Apparently there was a scheduling conflict when the guards changed shifts, their replacements never arrived.
00:03:49Nathan then went to sit back in his chair as he struggled to think what to do.
00:03:53Stupid parents, this is why I said we should have cameras stationed in the school,
00:03:57but it was hard enough to allow them to get those trackers put on them.
00:04:01The original families had a big say in what went on and what didn't.
00:04:05Do we know which students have gone through the portal?
00:04:07The first one is the student by the name of Quinn Talon, and the second one is Vorden Blade.
00:04:13Him again?
00:04:14After the incident with the second years, Nathan decided to look into Vorden's family background a bit more,
00:04:19and if they were to find out, this would be bad news.
00:04:22Make sure his family don't learn anything, we have to keep this a secret for as long as we can.
00:04:27As class had started for the day, Layla noticed that Vorden and Quinn weren't in their seats.
00:04:32However, Peter wasn't his, and he had his head face down looking at the ground.
00:04:37Hey Peter, do you know where Vorden and Quinn are today? She asked.
00:04:41I didn't do anything, Peter snapped.
00:04:43Huh? What? Layla said, confused.
00:04:46I was asking if you knew where Quinn and Vorden were, did they not come back to the dorm room yesterday?
00:04:51Oh, sorry. Yeah, they were there when I went back, Peter said with his voice all shaky.
00:04:57I don't know why they haven't come to class this morning.
00:05:00They wouldn't miss today, we're meant to go out portal hunting as a team.
00:05:04Just then, Del had entered the room.
00:05:06He didn't have his usual cheery face on, and instead had a bland, serious look.
00:05:11I'm afraid that I have to inform you all that today's portal outing has been cancelled for now.
00:05:16Upon hearing the news, the students groaned and complained.
00:05:19Quiet down, Del said loudly.
00:05:21Aaron had then come over to where Layla was.
00:05:24Yesterday while I was walking by two students, they overheard the sergeant shouting at the general,
00:05:29something about two students going into the portals.
00:05:32My guess is that's the reason why this whole thing has been delayed in the first place.
00:05:36Layla then stood up from her seat and grabbed Aaron by the shoulders.
00:05:40Don't you see? Vorden and Quinn have to be the missing students.
00:05:44No wonder Del didn't say anything about them.
00:05:47As she turned her head, she looked Peter dead in the eye.
00:05:50As soon as Layla took a step forward, Peter got out of his seat and ran for it.
00:05:55Aaron, we have to get Peter, he knows something.
00:05:57A person who isn't guilty doesn't run away for no reason.
00:06:16As class ended, the students continued to speak,
00:06:25and it turned out that Layla wasn't the only one who was concerned about where Vorden and Quinn went.
00:06:30Any idea about the other two? Aaron said bluntly.
00:06:34No, I have no idea. Do you want to go look for them with me? Layla asked nicely.
00:06:38No thanks, Aaron replied.
00:06:40Now that the portal training has been delayed, I am in no rush to find them.
00:06:44But I came over to tell you some news I heard some students talking about.
00:06:48Yesterday while I was walking by two students, they overheard the sergeant shouting at the general,
00:06:52something about two students going into the portals.
00:06:55My guess is that's the reason why this whole thing has been delayed in the first place.
00:06:59Wait, what did you say?
00:07:02Don't you see? Vorden and Quinn have to be the missing students.
00:07:05No wonder Del didn't say anything about them.
00:07:08Then suddenly it felt like she was being handed pieces of a jigsaw puzzle one by one.
00:07:13But there was still one missing piece, and she knew exactly the person who could give her the last piece.
00:07:18Peter felt like Layla was staring into his soul.
00:07:21This whole time he had been worried.
00:07:23What if someone had seen him leave the portal room?
00:07:26What if the other First Years reported it was him?
00:07:29Then when Layla had spoken to him in the morning, he slipped up.
00:07:32He was trying so hard to act natural, it had the opposite effect.
00:07:36As soon as Layla took a step forward, Peter got out of his seat and ran for it.
00:07:40Aaron, we have to get Peter, he knows something.
00:07:43What makes you think that? Aaron asked.
00:07:45A person who isn't guilty doesn't run away for no reason.
00:07:48Blood was dripping from the top of his head and started to go trickle down to his eyebrow.
00:07:53He lifted his hand to wipe the blood while holding a dagger made of mud in his other hand.
00:07:57What did I say? You got us killed, Vorden.
00:08:00Will you shut up unless you want to fight the damn thing instead?
00:08:03Fine then, let me take control of the seat and I'll fight this damned rat.
00:08:08Vorden then left the seat in his mind and allowed Rayton to take his place.
00:08:12When Rayton sat down, he took control of the body.
00:08:16Meanwhile, Vorden walked off into the darkness and inside was another figure that looked just like Vorden,
00:08:21only they were sitting on the floor swaying backwards and forwards.
00:08:25Their fingers would constantly roll around each other and part of his shirt was in his mouth.
00:08:30How are you holding up? Are you feeling better? Vorden asked.
00:08:33Yeah, is Quinn going to be okay? He said as he continued to sway backwards and forwards.
00:08:38I'm sure he's fine. You know he's special. We all did from the moment we first met him.
00:08:42Special, just like Kaser was, and Marlin, and Fufu, but they all died as well.
00:08:47Vorden gulped as he could see the swaying getting faster.
00:08:51This time is different. Me and Rayton are here to protect you.
00:08:54You can stay here as long as you want, and when you're ready you can come out once again.
00:08:58Leave all the talk to me, all the fighting to Rayton, and we can do this together.
00:09:02The swaying started to slow down, and at the same time so did Vorden's nerves.
00:09:07As Vorden went to walk back to the seat, he could see that Rayton had already dealt with the beast rather quickly.
00:09:13Did you really have to go that far? Vorden asked.
00:09:16That cheeky little crap ruined our body. I can't let it get away with that.
00:09:20Vorden then proceeded to carve out the beast's crystals from the two rats and place them in his trouser leg pocket.
00:09:26I come in peace, the man said with his arms lifted up.
00:09:30Vorden walked over to the Traveler cautiously.
00:09:32It was rare to even meet a Traveler in this type of place, and who knew what the man's true intentions were.
00:09:38Someone had to be at least a decent skill level to be asked to enter a Red Portal planet.
00:09:43Don't worry, I won't bite, the man said.
00:09:45What's a kid like you doing in a place like this?
00:09:48I didn't know the military was that desperate that they were now sending a single student to a hellhole like this.
00:09:53I got stuck here. It was an accident, and I need to find a way out.
00:09:57Looks like we both have the same goal at least, the Traveler said.
00:10:00The name's Ian. I came through another portal and was hunting out a beast in the wild.
00:10:05I was badly hurt and too far away from the original portal, so in a last-ditch effort I decided to come to this abandoned shelter.
00:10:11You're quite skillful to have defeated two of them on your own, especially for someone as young as yourself.
00:10:16You have my thanks. I was too badly hurt from the beast before.
00:10:20That rataclaw had chased me into the warehouse, and I was waiting for it to go away.
00:10:24I never expected someone else to be here in this shelter.
00:10:27You're welcome, Vorden replied.
00:10:29Well, since we both have the same goal anyway, do you have any idea where the portal could be?
00:10:34Sure, there were a few buildings I spotted on my way over here. It's best if we check them out first.
00:10:39The name's Vorden. I look forward to us working together.
00:10:42Do you know when the sun will rise? Vorden asked.
00:10:45Maybe it will be best if we travel once the sunlight comes out, then we can spot beasts easier.
00:10:50You really don't know where we are, do you? Ian replied.
00:10:53This planet spin cycle lasts an entire year, and right now we're only six months in.
00:10:57I'm afraid we won't be seeing light for a very long time.
00:11:00Once the two of them were ready, they decided to head back outside, while Ian took the lead.
00:11:05They made sure to travel close to the buildings, rather than in the middle of the street.
00:11:09If anything spotted them, they could quickly dart inside for combat.
00:11:13Hey, Vorden, I have an idea, Rayton said.
00:11:16Why don't we kill the adventurer while he's weak, and get that crystal of his?
00:11:20We could sell it for a fortune, or even make some really good equipment out of the thing.
00:11:25Hi, Quinn here. Thirsty for more action? Jump the queue and unleash all episodes.

00:11:34Sink your teeth into the next episode of our fang-tastic journey, only on the Pocket FM Universe.
00:11:45Are you an idiot? Once we kill him, then what would we do?
00:11:48His ability would only last for 24 hours.
00:11:51If we don't find a way out of here in time, we would be completely done for.
00:11:55Then suddenly Ian stopped as he spotted something.
00:11:58Look over there, Ian pointed.
00:12:00In the middle of the street lay a single dead rataclaw.
00:12:03The two of them looked around before proceeding to move closer to it.
00:12:07It looks like it wasn't killed too long ago, and had its heads been pounded in, Ian said as he bent down to get a closer look.
00:12:14Then he suddenly pulled out a beast crystal.
00:12:16Whoever it was, they didn't have time to remove the beast crystal.
00:12:19They were probably being chased by something else.
00:12:22Actually, Vorden said out loud, I wasn't the only one who came through here by accident.
00:12:26My friend came here with me, and I was actually hoping to find him.
00:12:30I won't ask for details, Ian said, but don't get your hopes up.
00:12:33I was surprised to see you alive, never mind your friend.
00:12:36Ian felt like he should try to help out.
00:12:38He started to inspect the rataclaw on the floor, and found a trail of black blood.
00:12:43Come on, let's go see if we can find that friend of yours.
00:12:46The two of them continued to follow the trail until it eventually led them to a three-story building.
00:12:51As they entered the first floor, it was mostly empty with no signs of anything,
00:12:55but Ian decided to continue to follow the trail of black blood that led up the set of stairs.
00:13:01What happened here, Ian thought.
00:13:03As they walked up the first set, they could see more and more black blood splattered everywhere on the walls.
00:13:09Then, when they walked up even further, the two of them were stunned at the scene.
00:13:13Lying on the ground were ten rataclaws died, completely still, each one with their beast crystal carved out.
00:13:20Who did this? Are there more people here? Maybe another team on a mission? Ian said.
00:13:25I'm sorry, I thought perhaps the rataclaw outside was killed by your student friend, but it looks like I was wrong.
00:13:31You would need at least a small team to take out ten at once like this.
00:13:34The two of them then decided to climb to the roof.
00:13:37They stood on top of the roof and looked down.
00:13:39That's when the two of them spotted something.
00:13:41Get down quick, Ian said.
00:13:43It was a beast that walked on six legs, three on each side.
00:13:48Its body stood upright like that of a human, while the bottom half was like that of a scorpion.
00:13:53It was a hideous beast that clearly wasn't from Earth.
00:13:56An intermediate beast, Ian said.
00:13:58Hey, what's that building, Vorden asked. Could the portal be inside there?
00:14:02That's the storage room, Ian answered.
00:14:04I doubt the portal would be inside there.
00:14:06Usually those places get targeted by thieves and such, and even if it wasn't there, it would be best if we let the beast leave first.
00:14:13Quinn had left the other building and slowly started to make his way to the storage room.
00:14:17He had no clue when the sun would rise and needed a place to stay for the night.
00:14:21Not only that, but he was hoping that he might come across some treasures at the storage room.
00:14:26On his way, he spotted a few rataclaws feasting on something in the middle of the street.
00:14:31Damn, they're everywhere, just like rats back on Earth, Quinn thought.
00:14:35Quinn continued to head towards the storage building until finally, he had arrived.
00:14:40At the front, there were two large steel doors which slid open.
00:14:43Afraid that they might make a lot of noise and attract unwanted attention,
00:14:47he decided to walk around the building to see if there were any other openings or entrances.
00:14:52With his back hugging the side of the wall, he peeked out to take a look.
00:14:56It seemed like there was another rataclaw, only this one was squealing and on its back in pain.
00:15:02Its cries were weak, and he wondered just how long had the beast been there for.
00:15:06He came out from the side of the wall and walked up to the injured rataclaw on its back.
00:15:11As he got closer to it, the rataclaw snarled at Quinn and tried to swipe its claws out.
00:15:16Still trying to kill me even in this state, Quinn thought, let me put you out of your pain.
00:15:21He walked up to the beast, and with a single blow to its head, it had died.
00:15:25As Quinn looked at the back of the building, he could see a small hole in one of the corners.
00:15:30Did the rataclaw come out from there?
00:15:32Before entering, he gulped at the thought that perhaps whatever injured the rat might be inside.
00:15:38Crawling on his front, he had reached the hole and tried to pop his head in.
00:15:42It was big enough for a human to fit through, but what he was afraid of was inside the building.
00:15:47He crawled through the hole and entered into the hangar.
00:15:50Nearly everything inside had been destroyed. There were no airships, mechs, and no beast weapons.
00:15:56He started to walk around the hangar for a while, until eventually, there was a room stationed in the corner.
00:16:02He walked up to the room, and there was a single steel door with a passcode device next to it.
00:16:07The door was military-grade, which meant even those with abilities would find it hard to break it down.
00:16:12But it was clear to him that whatever was in the container had yet to be destroyed,
00:16:16and most likely, whatever was inside was important stuff worth locking.
00:16:21Should I try hammer strike on it?
00:16:23He looked at the passcode on the side and pressed four random digits before pressing the enter button.
00:16:28Beep!
00:16:29Of course I'm not that lucky, he thought.
00:16:31Looking at the lock again, his gut was telling him to try it.
00:16:35Quinn then did as his inspect skill said and touched the lock.
00:16:39Nothing happened, but then he used the inspect skill one more time.
00:16:44Quinn immediately tested out the number the system had given him.
00:16:47Beep!
00:16:48Ka-chunk!
00:16:49The door then made an unlocking sound and swung open.
00:16:53Hi, Quinn here.
00:16:55Wondering what happens next?

00:17:11Seeing that the intermediate beast was patrolling around the storage room,
00:17:15Ian and Vorden had decided to go to a different part of the shelter.
00:17:18Any ideas of where the portal might be?
00:17:20Any ideas of where the portal might be?
00:17:22Vorden asked.
00:17:23My guess is somewhere underground.
00:17:25It's safe for most of the beasts that way.
00:17:27Most likely they have a special building that looks like any other and a secret entrance.
00:17:31Wait, so are you saying we just have to keep going into buildings?
00:17:35Well, we can rule out all the residential buildings.
00:17:38They wouldn't be able to build a large enough base under those,
00:17:40and any of the small buildings or dangerous areas you can rule out as well.
00:17:44There are only so many big buildings that would be large enough to store a big base under.
00:17:49The two of them continued to look into building after building,
00:17:52but there was no luck or no sign of a secret room.
00:17:55Eventually, they entered what looked like a library.
00:17:58That's when a loud rumbling sound had come from Vorden's belly.
00:18:02I guess we have been traveling for a while now.
00:18:04Why don't we rest here for the night?
00:18:06Doesn't look like there are any beasts here, and we can build our own fortress, Ian said.
00:18:10There were large holes and broken down walls on the first floor,
00:18:13which made it easy for beasts to attack them.
00:18:16Once they had reached the second floor, the two of them started to lift up a few of the bookshelves.
00:18:20It seemed like Ian had the ability of super strength,
00:18:23seeing how easily he moved the heavy bookshelves,
00:18:26but Vorden knew that wasn't true.
00:18:28The reason why Ian seemed like he had extra strength
00:18:31was actually from the beast armor he was wearing.
00:18:33Vorden helped out in his own way by clearing a space
00:18:36and moving all the books and piles of rubbish away.
00:18:39After an hour or so, they were done.
00:18:41It's a nice home, isn't it?
00:18:43Ian said proudly of his work.
00:18:45Well, what are you waiting for? Come on, let's go inside.
00:18:48He then pulled out a little small stone from his pocket
00:18:51and placed it on the ground in the center of the room.
00:18:54He tapped the stone once, and a warm orange light started to shine from it.
00:18:58Here, take this, Ian said as he handed a small circle pill to Vorden.
00:19:03Is this a food supplement? Vorden asked.
00:19:06Yeah, I'm guessing if you came here by accident, you don't have any with you.
00:19:10Vorden looked at the pill before shoving it down his throat and into the stomach.
00:19:14A food supplement was a pill that contained all the things a human needed to live.
00:19:19As long as a person took one pill of these a day, they no longer needed to eat.
00:19:23You'll get some sleep and I'll keep watch.
00:19:25Then we'll do a little switch later on, Ian said.
00:19:28Sounds good?
00:19:29Yeah.
00:19:31As he heard the sound of the door unlocking, a grin appeared on his face.
00:19:35I love you, system. I swear I'll never talk badly about you ever again,
00:19:39Quinn said as he stepped into the container.
00:19:42But as he stepped in, his hopes of finding legendary beast equipment
00:19:46or stashes of beast crystals were soon lost.
00:19:49The room was simply filled with shelves of books.
00:19:52Nothing else but books.
00:19:54However, as soon as Quinn picked up one of the books closest to him,
00:19:57his mind had quickly changed.
00:19:59It was a container room filled with ability and skill books.
00:20:03Although Quinn was unable to learn the ability,
00:20:05he immediately converted the book into EXP points.
00:20:09As soon as Quinn decided to convert the book into EXP,
00:20:12it started to vanish in his very hands, as if it was disintegrating.
00:20:16After absorbing the first book, Quinn started to pick up book after book.
00:20:20After going through the books, Quinn found out that a level 1 skill book
00:20:24would give him 5 EXP points,
00:20:26while a level 1 ability book would give him 10 EXP points.
00:20:30Quinn got closer to the back of the container
00:20:33and found that the level of books would increase.
00:20:35After leveling up, Quinn immediately put his stat point into strength,
00:20:39and now without his gauntlets, his strength was at 15,
00:20:42meaning he would be able to perform the hammer strike skill
00:20:45with or without the gauntlets.
00:20:47As Quinn looked around the room,
00:20:49there were still several books he hadn't even touched yet.
00:20:51The place really was a gold mine for him.
00:20:54As he went on to the next set of shelves,
00:20:56with it came a new set of books.
00:20:58He placed his hand on the first one,
00:21:00and it was the first level 3 ability book he had come across.
00:21:03Quinn placed the book down and picked the book up,
00:21:06making sure he had heard the system right,
00:21:08but once again, the numbers he had received were correct.
00:21:11The level 3 ability book was offering him 1,000 EXP points.
00:21:15He once again went on rampage,
00:21:17grabbing every book he could on the shelf,
00:21:19absorbing those that he couldn't,
00:21:21and tossing the others on the ground.
00:21:23No new skills were unlocked,
00:21:25but Quinn still obtained the regular stat points for every level up.
00:21:28Now that his strength and agility were at level 15,
00:21:31he decided he should finally increase his stamina points.
00:21:34Quinn had now nearly touched every single book
00:21:37that was in the storage room.
00:21:39Unfortunately, the highest ability Quinn was able to find so far
00:21:42was a level 3 ability book.
00:21:44The further he went into the container,
00:21:46the higher the levels,
00:21:48but for the last few shelves, it didn't seem to be the case.
00:21:51It seemed like they were just duplicates
00:21:53of the other level 3 ability books.
00:21:55As Quinn picked up one book,
00:21:57the system message didn't go off.
00:21:59It was because it was a level 3 earth ability book
00:22:01that he had already absorbed.
00:22:03Hey, maybe Peter could use this,
00:22:05Quinn thought.
00:22:07It was only one book.
00:22:09Quinn was sure he would be able to carry it safely with him.
00:22:11But as soon as he thought about Peter,
00:22:13a memory entered his mind,
00:22:15and it wasn't a good one.
00:22:17Peter was the whole reason why he was in this place.
00:22:19And he still didn't know how long he was going to be here,
00:22:22or if he would even be able to survive.
00:22:24To be honest, Quinn was just trying to make the best
00:22:26out of a bad situation at the moment.
00:22:28As he thought about Peter,
00:22:30anger started to enter his mind and body,
00:22:32and he ripped the book up.
00:22:34Then, as Quinn looked around the container,
00:22:36he noticed there was one shelf
00:22:38at the very back of the room
00:22:40where he hadn't been yet.
00:22:42He didn't bother going over there yet,
00:22:44because it looked empty from a distance.
00:22:46But as he got closer,
00:22:48he noticed there was a single book that had been placed there.
00:22:50As he touched the book on the shelf,
00:22:52a new message appeared.
00:22:54Out of shock, Quinn dropped the book
00:22:56back onto the shelf and took a step back.
00:22:58Ability is compatible with system.
00:23:00Would you like to learn?
00:23:02Out of all the books in the room,
00:23:04it was the first time he had ever received
00:23:06a message of this kind.
00:23:08Then Quinn started to think back to the name
00:23:10of the ability, Shadow Element.
00:23:12It was something he had never even heard of before,
00:23:14and Quinn was quite knowledgeable
00:23:16about the abilities of the world.
00:23:18After thinking about it for a long time,
00:23:20he decided he would try to place the book
00:23:22in his storage.
00:23:24To his surprise, it worked.
00:23:26The ability book was safely put into his system
00:23:28storage with his beast crystals.
00:23:30Before learning the ability,
00:23:32Quinn wanted to make sure he could find out
00:23:34more about it first.
00:23:36Maybe then he could find out why it was
00:23:38compatible with his vampire system,
00:23:40and if so, maybe there were other
00:23:42abilities that would be compatible as well.
00:23:44After storing the book away,
00:23:46he decided to close the door to the container
00:23:48unit and remain inside.
00:23:50It was safe here, and he was starting to feel
00:23:52tired. At least he knew the container
00:23:54was strong enough to protect him from
00:23:56whatever beast remained outside.
00:23:58He lied on the floor, and in
00:24:00an instant, closed his eyes.
00:24:02His body was pressed against
00:24:04the cold, hard floor. His eyelids
00:24:06slowly started to open, and all he could see
00:24:08was a white light. For a moment
00:24:10while Quinn was sleeping, he had forgotten
00:24:12about everything that happened.
00:24:14But as soon as he looked around him and realized
00:24:16where he was, and he knew that everything
00:24:18wasn't a dream. Right now,
00:24:20he wasn't at the school, but was on a
00:24:22completely different planet miles away from
00:24:24home. It was a surprise that
00:24:26he slept so well on the floor without a bed.
00:24:28Without realizing it, he was
00:24:30more exhausted than he thought.
00:24:32Your hunger grows. Daily quest
00:24:34complete. Avoid direct sunlight
00:24:36for eight hours.
00:24:38And at last, the system message had appeared.
00:24:40This meant that in one more day's time,
00:24:42the system would inform him that he needed
00:24:44to consume human blood.
00:24:46He was okay for now, as he still had
00:24:4850 milliliters of blood in his bank.
00:24:50As long as he didn't get in any more
00:24:52fights, he would be fine.
00:24:54The most important thing for him to do now
00:24:56was to find that portal.
00:24:58As he went to open the steel door, Quinn
00:25:00was half expecting that the sun might be out.
00:25:02After all, the message appearing meant
00:25:04it was a new day. But as he opened the door,
00:25:06he was surprised to see it was still
00:25:08night out. However, his mind was
00:25:10quickly distracted by something else.
00:25:12Quinn immediately closed
00:25:14the door back up to the container.
00:25:16He placed his hand on his chest, feeling
00:25:18his heart beating at an incredible speed.
00:25:20What was that? Quinn thought.
00:25:22That was no rat, that's for sure.
00:25:24This time, Quinn went to
00:25:26the steel door again. He placed
00:25:28his hand on the metallic handle once again
00:25:30and slowly opened the door
00:25:32to take a peek. And as he did,
00:25:34a large beast stood inside the hangar.
00:25:36With the body of a human
00:25:38but the bottom half of a scorpion-like creature,
00:25:40Quinn couldn't make out
00:25:42what it was. From the human half of
00:25:44its body, it also had two claws
00:25:46on each side. Inspect!
00:25:48Scordana. Intermediate
00:25:50Level Beast. After finding
00:25:52out what little information was available
00:25:54about the beast, Quinn quickly
00:25:56closed the door once again. Although
00:25:58Quinn had grown three levels while inside
00:26:00the container, he still felt like
00:26:02dealing with an intermediate beast would
00:26:04almost be impossible for him.
00:26:06The weakest of intermediate beasts
00:26:08were at least ten times stronger
00:26:10than a basic tier beast. Of course,
00:26:12this would depend on the beast, for there
00:26:14were some beasts that were just easier to deal
00:26:16with than others, no matter what tier
00:26:18they were at. But looking at the
00:26:20creature, Quinn could tell it would be a tough
00:26:22battle. After waiting for what felt
00:26:24like a considerable amount of time,
00:26:26he decided to open the door once again
00:26:28to check if the beast was still there.
00:26:30And unfortunately, it was.
00:26:32That was when Quinn noticed something
00:26:34else that was in the hangar that wasn't there
00:26:36before. There were three round objects
00:26:38right next to the Scordana
00:26:40placed in a pile of scrap metal.
00:26:42Are those eggs? Quinn thought.
00:26:44Inspect! Scordana
00:26:46eggs. Intermediate beast level.
00:26:48As he saw the eggs,
00:26:50a horrible thought had entered his mind.
00:26:52Quinn hadn't noticed them before,
00:26:54meaning she must have just laid them out
00:26:56while he was in the container, or
00:26:58they might have been hidden somewhere.
00:27:00But the first was more likely. Now the fact
00:27:02that her eggs were here meant the beast
00:27:04would protect them until they hatched,
00:27:06or at least it wouldn't be moving for a
00:27:08while. This felt like a risky option
00:27:10for Quinn, for he himself was on
00:27:12a time frame. Then there was
00:27:14the second option. If the Scordana
00:27:16had just given birth, then there was a
00:27:18chance she was weaker compared to usual.
00:27:20With the second option, he
00:27:22had to make a decision as soon as possible.
00:27:24In the end, Quinn gritted his
00:27:26teeth and stepped out of the container.
00:27:28Before even thinking of fighting against
00:27:30the beast, he would try his best to sneak
00:27:32out. The entrance to the
00:27:34front of the hangar was completely destroyed.
00:27:36The beast, when entering, had ripped
00:27:38apart the two metallic doors before coming
00:27:40in. The problem was, the beast
00:27:42was blocking that exit, but
00:27:44that still left Quinn with a small hole
00:27:46in the wall from where he had entered.
00:27:48Carefully moving in between piles of
00:27:50scrap metal and rubbish, Quinn slowly
00:27:52moved across the room to the other
00:27:54side where he had first entered.
00:27:56Then, when he finally had reached the hole,
00:27:58he could see something else entering from
00:28:00the other side. It was a rataclaw.
00:28:02Oh no!
00:28:04As soon as the rataclaw pulled its body
00:28:06through the small hole, it immediately
00:28:08looked up to see Quinn. Before
00:28:10he even had a chance to run away,
00:28:12rataclaw started squealing like mad.
00:28:14Shut up! Why did you have to
00:28:16come here now of all times?
00:28:18Then the sound of several steps was
00:28:20heard from behind. Quinn didn't have
00:28:22time to turn around to know what it was,
00:28:24but he did so anyway, and as he did,
00:28:26a giant claw was swung down
00:28:28towards his head. Now that the
00:28:30Scordana had spotted Quinn, he had no
00:28:32choice but to stand his ground and fight.
00:28:34As the scorpion creature turned,
00:28:36it immediately started charging forward.
00:28:38Hoping to scare it away and do
00:28:40some damage, Quinn let out two blood
00:28:42swipes. As the
00:28:44blood swipe made impact, the scorpion
00:28:46was pushed back a few steps, but
00:28:48no damage could be seen, not even
00:28:50a white scratch mark on the claws.
00:28:52As Quinn looked and inspected the creature
00:28:54even closer, he could see that
00:28:56every part of the beast was covered in
00:28:58some type of shell, apart from the upper
00:29:00body. That was the beast's weak point,
00:29:02and that's where he needed to hit.
00:29:04Then as Quinn readied his hand
00:29:06to cast his blood swipe skill,
00:29:08he felt a sharp pain in his back.
00:29:10As he looked up, he could see something
00:29:12connected to his body, and when he followed
00:29:14it, it went behind the beast.
00:29:16The beast then lifted Quinn with the
00:29:18tail and chucked him hard up against
00:29:20the wall. As he fell to the ground,
00:29:22his HP had taken a huge hit.
00:29:24As Quinn looked into his stomach,
00:29:26he could see a large puncture had been
00:29:28created, and blood was quickly flowing
00:29:30out of his body. Critical
00:29:32hit, 10 of 45 HP,
00:29:34blood bank empty,
00:29:3635 of 45 HP.
00:29:38With his health nearly full,
00:29:40his wounds had healed up almost instantly,
00:29:42and Quinn was able to move once
00:29:44again. Looking at the scorpion,
00:29:46he noticed the tail truly wasn't there.
00:29:48Is it able to take it into
00:29:50his body and out at will? This is going
00:29:52to be a pain. There were no more
00:29:54second chances. A battle
00:29:56of strength was being displayed between the
00:29:58two. The red swipes were powerful
00:30:00and started to knock the beast back,
00:30:02and eventually, even the claws started
00:30:04to crack, but neither of them gave up.
00:30:0613 of 45 HP.
00:30:08When the beast was close
00:30:10enough, finally the tail was revealed
00:30:12from above. While its claws
00:30:14covered and blocked its body from the swipes,
00:30:16its plan was to attack from above
00:30:18with its long, large tail.
00:30:20As it fired its tail downward,
00:30:22just before the tail could pierce Quinn again,
00:30:24flashstep!
00:30:26Suddenly, Quinn was no longer in front of the
00:30:28scorpion, and now was directly behind it.
00:30:30Hammer strike!
00:30:32Then a few moments later, the beast had
00:30:34collapsed to the ground, and so had Quinn
00:30:36completely exhausted.
00:30:38As he lifted his hands, his gauntlets
00:30:40had completely shattered.
00:30:42Scordana has been killed, 1000 EXP.
00:30:44First intermediate beast
00:30:46kill, 5000 EXP.
00:30:48First Scordana killed,
00:30:502000 EXP.
00:30:52Right now, he had a serious problem.
00:30:54His health was incredibly low.
00:30:5613 of 45 HP,
00:30:58and with his blood bank empty, there was
00:31:00no way for him to heal it back to normal.
00:31:02After waiting a few moments for his
00:31:04stamina to rise back up, he walked
00:31:06up to the dead Scordana's body.
00:31:08Finally, after tearing and rummaging
00:31:10through several limbs, the beast's
00:31:12crystal was obtained, and stored in his
00:31:14system once again.
00:31:16Now, Quinn looked at the eggs in the room.
00:31:18As he went forward, he lifted one of the
00:31:20eggs. He took a few steps back
00:31:22before lifting it into the air and
00:31:24slamming it into the ground.
00:31:26Black blood had been splattered all across
00:31:28the floor, and a little half-grown scorpion
00:31:30could be seen inside.
00:31:32Scordana A killed, 1000 EXP.
00:31:34Congratulations,
00:31:36you are now level 9. 13 of
00:31:3850 HP. The system
00:31:40hadn't given his health back like he thought
00:31:42it might have done. Your hunger
00:31:44grows. You can no longer suppress
00:31:46your need for blood. Your HP
00:31:48will decrease by negative
00:31:501 HP every hour until
00:31:52you have consumed human blood.
00:31:54Due to Quinn's energy and most
00:31:56of his blood being used in the fight earlier,
00:31:58his body was now no longer naturally
00:32:00healing itself. He was too
00:32:02hungry to heal, and would need blood.
00:32:04With 13 points, that's 13
00:32:06hours before I reach zero, and that's
00:32:08only if I don't use any of my skills, or
00:32:10get injured along the way.
00:32:12I have no choice. I have to try to find
00:32:14the portal, Quinn said. Before
00:32:16leaving the hangar, Quinn had to think hard
00:32:18about just where the portal would be.
00:32:20All he knew was that they had to place it somewhere
00:32:22safe. Somewhere, the beasts
00:32:24wouldn't be able to get to it. As he walked
00:32:26through the city, he decided to tread
00:32:28very carefully. Once in a while, he would
00:32:30come across a building with beasts inside.
00:32:32As he entered the buildings, there would be
00:32:34cases where Quinn had spotted them far
00:32:36up ahead in the darkness. He quickly
00:32:38would shift and hide in the shadows,
00:32:40or behind walls, waiting for the beasts
00:32:42to leave, and when he was ready, he would
00:32:44zoom past and around.
00:32:4611 of 50 HP.
00:32:48The hunger in his belly was starting to distract
00:32:50him, and it was getting harder for him to
00:32:52focus as his health had gone down.
00:32:54Then finally, Quinn had spotted
00:32:56another building that was relatively
00:32:58in good condition. The training center,
00:33:00a place where travelers could come and test out
00:33:02their skills, or practice with new
00:33:04equipment. As Quinn got closer to the
00:33:06dome building, he noticed that there were several
00:33:08mechs stationed outside that had
00:33:10been destroyed, their cores
00:33:12completely ripped out. Mechs
00:33:14were a powerful device used in the
00:33:16war, but to power them, they required
00:33:18an incredibly powerful beast crystal
00:33:20of a high tier. As he reached the
00:33:22entrance of the training center, he could see
00:33:24that two rataclaws were standing out
00:33:26in front of the building. He decided to
00:33:28wait a little longer, hoping that the
00:33:30rataclaws might move. 10 of 50
00:33:32HP. But as he saw
00:33:34the message bring his health down once again,
00:33:36he was only getting even more aggravated.
00:33:38The rats didn't look like they would
00:33:40be leaving anytime soon, and
00:33:42Quinn needed to come up with a plan.
00:33:44As Quinn looked around him, he found a
00:33:46broken piece of the mech nearby. He
00:33:48picked it up, and looked off into the distance.
00:33:50Using all his strength, he threw the
00:33:52piece of metal a great distance.
00:33:54The piece of metal landed exactly
00:33:56where he was aiming for, making a
00:33:58large clang sound as it fell on the mech.
00:34:00The rats then looked up at where the noise was
00:34:02coming from, and quickly scurried off
00:34:04in the direction of the sound. This is my chance!
00:34:06Quinn, using all the powers in his
00:34:08legs, bolted for the entrance.
00:34:10He tried pushing the steel doors open,
00:34:12but there was no luck. As he looked around
00:34:14the door for anything, he spotted another
00:34:16access code machine. He immediately
00:34:18rushed forward, placing his hand on the
00:34:20machine and used his inspect skill.
00:34:22I hope these works don't let me down!
00:34:24An access code machine linked to the two steel doors.
00:34:26The combination is 333
00:34:28462
00:34:3053778. However,
00:34:32just as Quinn was inputting the code into
00:34:34the machine, the rataclaws had returned.
00:34:36As the beast saw him, they
00:34:38shrieked and called out another two of its friends.
00:34:40There were now four of the things.
00:34:42Come on! Come on!
00:34:44Beep! Damn, I must have put in the wrong
00:34:46number! He used his inspect skill
00:34:48once again, making sure he had the right
00:34:50code. He started inputting the
00:34:52numbers again, when he suddenly felt something
00:34:54chomp down onto his leg.
00:34:569 of 50 HP.
00:34:58As he looked down, it was one of the rats,
00:35:00and the other three weren't too far behind it.
00:35:02The other three were now too close,
00:35:04and he no longer had any time to input the code.
00:35:06Flashstep! Then Quinn
00:35:08was suddenly behind them, but he was still
00:35:10too close to the four rats. Flashstep
00:35:12only had a distance of 5 meters at
00:35:14most. The rats turned, and all ran
00:35:16forward, towards him. I have no choice!
00:35:18He held out his palm and fired.
00:35:20Bloodburst! A shotgun-like
00:35:22spray of blood was released from his hand,
00:35:24and it knocked back all four of the rats,
00:35:26killing the already injured one.
00:35:284 of 50 HP. 100
00:35:30EXP. He then rushed forward to
00:35:32one of the rats on the ground, held both
00:35:34hands together, and slammed it down on
00:35:36another rat's head, killing the second one.
00:35:38100 EXP.
00:35:40Now the other two rats had recovered, and were
00:35:42quickly after Quinn once again.
00:35:44Out of desperation, he swung his hands and
00:35:46activated his blood swipe, although this time
00:35:48the blood swipes were strong, and
00:35:50it killed each one in a single attack.
00:35:52100 EXP. 100
00:35:54EXP. 850
00:35:56of 25,600 EXP.
00:35:582 of 50 HP.
00:36:00With his time running incredibly low,
00:36:02Quinn didn't even bother to get out the
00:36:04beast crystals. He went up to the door this
00:36:06time inputting the code correctly, and
00:36:08as he entered, he shut the door behind him,
00:36:10making sure it was locked. He was now
00:36:12in what looked like a reception area,
00:36:14a canteen of sorts, with several seats
00:36:16and a desk at the front. With his
00:36:18health running low, he had less than two hours
00:36:20to find the portal. Quinn
00:36:22fell to his knees in despair. He felt
00:36:24like this was his last chance.
00:36:26There was no way he had the time to go walking
00:36:28around the city, looking for another room
00:36:30with a portal. 1 of 50 HP.
00:36:32So this is how my life
00:36:34ends, huh? Quinn said. Mom,
00:36:36Dad, why did you leave me on
00:36:38my own? Why did you give me this book?
00:36:40I thought when I got this book, maybe I
00:36:42might be able to change something, but I guess
00:36:44not. Then, the final hour
00:36:46had passed. 0 of 50 HP.
00:36:48HP has reached 0 due to
00:36:50hunger. Transformation will now
00:36:52begin. That night, Borden
00:36:54struggled to sleep, just like every other night.
00:36:56He couldn't remember the last time
00:36:58he got a good night's sleep. That's when he
00:37:00felt a slight tug on his arm. Hey, wake up,
00:37:02kid. Looks like you were having a nightmare,
00:37:04Ian said. As Borden opened his
00:37:06eyes, he looked around and noticed that he
00:37:08was still in the pitch black room. Oh,
00:37:10sorry about that. I hope I wasn't making too
00:37:12much noise, Borden replied. Well,
00:37:14this is a scary place. A kid like you
00:37:16shouldn't be here on their own in the first place,
00:37:18so don't worry about it, said Ian. Do you mind if we
00:37:20swap for a bit? Ian then switched places
00:37:22with Borden. While Ian lied on the
00:37:24uncomfortable hard floor, Borden
00:37:26would look out for the gaps in the bookshelf,
00:37:28keeping watch. Hey, Borden,
00:37:30if you aren't going to kill him now, what about when we
00:37:32find the portal? Rayton asked.
00:37:34The advanced crystal he is carrying would be very
00:37:36helpful to us, and no one would find out.
00:37:38You've seen how weak he is, and now
00:37:40we have his ability, it would be easy to finish
00:37:42him off. While I'm in charge, nobody gets
00:37:44hurt, Borden replied, getting annoyed.
00:37:46After waiting what felt like an
00:37:48entire day, it seemed like Ian had
00:37:50finally woken up. I'm telling you
00:37:52I can't wait to get home, Ian said.
00:37:54Borden turned around to look to Ian,
00:37:56seeing that he was struggling to get up.
00:37:58He offered his hand once again and pulled him
00:38:00up from the floor, but as Ian got off the ground,
00:38:02his face suddenly dropped.
00:38:04In one of the holes he had made, all that could
00:38:06be seen was a single large eyeball
00:38:08looking through. Ian immediately went
00:38:10to his waist and grabbed a small dagger,
00:38:12throwing it at the beast's eye.
00:38:14Then when he pulled his hand back, the dagger
00:38:16flew back into his hand. Let's get out
00:38:18of here, Ian shouted, as he kicked
00:38:20one of the shelves, knocking it over.
00:38:22As the two of them climbed on top of the fallen
00:38:24shelf, they could see that they had been surrounded.
00:38:26I thought you were keeping a lookout,
00:38:28Ian said. I was, but the small
00:38:30space would only let me see so far.
00:38:32They were completely surrounded, not
00:38:34just around them, but also above as well.
00:38:36A few of the slug creatures dropped from
00:38:38above, while the ones around them reached out
00:38:40with their tentacles. There were too many
00:38:42attacks at once. Ian then held out both
00:38:44of his hands with his palms open.
00:38:46Objects from all over the library started
00:38:48to vibrate. Stick close to me, kid,
00:38:50Ian commanded, and Vorden did
00:38:52as he was told. Repel!
00:38:54At that moment, the ball exploded with
00:38:56an incredible force. Little pieces
00:38:58of scrap metal were flung out so hard
00:39:00it had caused several puncture wounds
00:39:02in the beast's body, killing them all
00:39:04as it went through their brains and hearts.
00:39:06Good thing this planet is covered in metal, huh?
00:39:08Ian said with a smile on his face.
00:39:10Come on then, let's not waste these crystals.
00:39:12The two of them went up to the dead slugs
00:39:14and started to carve out the crystals.
00:39:16After gathering the crystals, Ian had
00:39:18handed Vorden half of them.
00:39:20Here, take it. I can't, I didn't do anything.
00:39:22Look, these are only basic
00:39:24tier crystals. I could earn these in my sleep.
00:39:26Fine, Vorden said. Then
00:39:28finally the two of them spotted something.
00:39:30You see that? Now if I was going to put a
00:39:32portal anywhere, I would put it in there.
00:39:34Ian said, pointing at the large dome
00:39:36building. What is it? Vorden asked.
00:39:38It looks like a training center.
00:39:40That's exactly what it is, and it looks like it was
00:39:42well built. The beasts around here haven't
00:39:44even been able to scratch it, and it's big
00:39:46enough to build a secret base underneath.
00:39:48The two of them continued walking forward
00:39:50with their next destination in sight,
00:39:52the training center.
00:39:54Hi, Quinn here.
00:39:56Wondering what happens next?
00:39:58If you want to jump the queue and
00:40:00unleash all episodes, click on
00:40:02the link here and install the Pocket FM app.
00:40:08Just outside
00:40:10the large dome-like building,
00:40:12Vorden and Ian were preparing to enter.
00:40:14The front of the dome was an open field,
00:40:16filled with all sorts of junk.
00:40:18It looked like a battle had taken place outside.
00:40:20More dead rataclaws.
00:40:22Another group of them, even.
00:40:24Ian then dipped his finger into the black blood.
00:40:26It doesn't look like they have been dead for long.
00:40:28Looks like someone's already in there.
00:40:30The two of them, now inside
00:40:32and with the door shut, noticed something.
00:40:34It was incredibly dark inside
00:40:36the training center. As Ian took
00:40:38a step forward, he could hear the sound of
00:40:40glass cracking.
00:40:42Now, why would someone go to the trouble to take out all the lights?
00:40:44Ian said. Maybe it was a person
00:40:46who came in before us.
00:40:48Maybe. Here, take this, Ian said
00:40:50as he chucked over a small pebble-like item.
00:40:52As Vorden tapped it once,
00:40:54a small orange glow emitted from the stone
00:40:56and surrounded him.
00:40:58What about you? Ian then pulled out another
00:41:00stone, tapping it before putting it on
00:41:02his waist. Now, are you going to tell me about
00:41:04what just happened, or are you going to keep that secret
00:41:06as well? No secrets.
00:41:08My ability allows me to copy other abilities.
00:41:10I copied it when I saw you use it
00:41:12at the library. Hmm, that's
00:41:14kind of cool. I wish I could do something like that,
00:41:16Ian said. Come on, let's go.
00:41:18The two of them continued to walk along
00:41:20the dark hall. Psst, hey,
00:41:22Vorden, this is your last chance.
00:41:24Switch with me now, Raiden said.
00:41:26If the portal's in here, I can save
00:41:28you the hard work and kill him straight away.
00:41:30Buzz off, will you? Fine.
00:41:32That was your last chance.
00:41:34The two of them had finally arrived at the
00:41:36reception room. Each of the lights
00:41:38above were smashed in.
00:41:40As soon as
00:41:42they entered, fierce growls started coming
00:41:44from the hallway.
00:41:46A loud screech
00:41:48echoed through the entire arena as
00:41:50the creature had spotted its prey and was
00:41:52now running full force towards them.
00:41:54Transformation will now begin.
00:41:56As soon as this message appeared, a
00:41:58shooting pain could be felt all over Quinn's
00:42:00body. The white of his eyes slowly
00:42:02started to fill with black, and his teeth
00:42:04started to grow in size. His nails
00:42:06grew slightly larger, and his skin
00:42:08started to form around his body even tighter.
00:42:10Your mind is unstable.
00:42:12Your bloodlust has reached its maximum
00:42:14level. You are now a crazed bloodsucker.
00:42:16All stats will be doubled.
00:42:18Health will be halved. While in
00:42:20this form, all blood skills are unavailable.
00:42:22After transforming into
00:42:24the bloodsucker, Quinn's thoughts,
00:42:26his emotions, everything that made him
00:42:28human were gone. His body acted
00:42:30on its own, and that single thought
00:42:32of blood occupied him. Then,
00:42:34a few moments later, Vorden and
00:42:36Ian had entered the room.
00:42:38As the beast held out its claws, Ian
00:42:40too came out with his fists.
00:42:42You want to battle with strength then?
00:42:44However, the beast's hands had wrapped
00:42:46around Ian's fist and stopped them in
00:42:48its tracks. Then, using its nails,
00:42:50it dug into Ian's fist,
00:42:52drawing out blood. As it smelled the
00:42:54blood fall from Ian's hands, it started
00:42:56to growl and screech even more.
00:42:58It opened its mouth, revealing two
00:43:00huge fangs. Then, the beast lifted
00:43:02both of its legs off the ground and
00:43:04kicked Ian away, causing him to fly
00:43:06into the nearby wall.
00:43:08It started to rush forward as it saw
00:43:10Ian was injured, but before it could reach him,
00:43:12a metal chair from the stand came flying
00:43:14out from the side and knocked
00:43:16the beast away. Vorden quickly
00:43:18rushed to Ian's side and lifted him off
00:43:20the ground. Thanks, kid.
00:43:22What was that? Vorden asked.
00:43:24I don't know. I've never seen anything like it,
00:43:26but it looked like a humanoid-type beast.
00:43:28Ian replied. The chair
00:43:30didn't keep the beast down for long, as the
00:43:32smell of blood was too strong.
00:43:34Turn on your light stone, Ian said.
00:43:36As the two of them turned on the light stone,
00:43:38the beast suddenly stopped.
00:43:40It covered its eyes and backed away from the two.
00:43:42It looks like I was right, said Ian.
00:43:44That beast must have been the one to take
00:43:46out all the lights. It looks like it's super sensitive.
00:43:48But the two were foolish,
00:43:50thinking the light stones would be enough to
00:43:52keep the bloodsucker away from its prey.
00:43:54The beast didn't need to rely on
00:43:56its eyesight to know where the two were.
00:43:58The smell of Ian's blood was enough.
00:44:00From the stands, it started to rip
00:44:02out the chairs and proceed to hurl them at the two.
00:44:04Luckily, the chairs were
00:44:06made out of a metal material, so
00:44:08Ian and Vorden were able to repel them away.
00:44:10The chairs continued to be
00:44:12chucked at an incredible rate, as each
00:44:14one was ripped from the stands.
00:44:16Then, the beast decided to rush
00:44:18forward with its eyes closed. As it got
00:44:20close to the two, it started to attack them
00:44:22blindly. How does it know where we are?
00:44:24Ian said. Vorden, get out of there!
00:44:26Raiton said. What do you mean?
00:44:28Vorden asked. Can't you see?
00:44:30The beast is only attacking Ian.
00:44:32Something is attracting it to Ian.
00:44:34With Raiton's words, Vorden decided
00:44:36to break away from Ian and ran down
00:44:38to the arena floor, and just like he said,
00:44:40the beast had completely ignored Vorden
00:44:42and had continued to attack Ian.
00:44:44We have to help him.
00:44:46Raiton, switch with me. No!
00:44:48Raiton replied. We could die.
00:44:50You had your chance before. It's time you
00:44:52learn your lesson. Get out of this one yourself,
00:44:54Vorden. Then, a new
00:44:56voice was heard from within.
00:44:58I will help you. Ian and the beast
00:45:00continued to do battle. Unfortunately
00:45:02for Ian, the only source of metal
00:45:04he could control in the arena were the chairs,
00:45:06and it took him some time to
00:45:08attract things toward him. He had
00:45:10two chairs out from the stands, and would
00:45:12use them as shield, blocking the beast's
00:45:14attacks. However, every
00:45:16time the beast would hit with its fist,
00:45:18it would completely tear through the chairs.
00:45:20The attacks were too powerful.
00:45:22Then, the beast leapt through the air
00:45:24with its fangs wide open. Ian
00:45:26had no choice but to shove his forearm
00:45:28into the beast's mouth, hoping to avoid
00:45:30a fatal blow. He screamed in
00:45:32pain. Blood is being
00:45:34consumed. 10 of 100.
00:45:3614 of 100.
00:45:3825 of 100.
00:45:40As the beast was busy feasting on its meal,
00:45:42it was unable to notice the flying sharp
00:45:44object coming toward it.
00:45:46Like a spear, a metal flying object
00:45:48had come out and pierced the beast's shoulder.
00:45:50The blow was fast and powerful,
00:45:52knocking him off Ian.
00:45:54I just want to find my pet Quinn, the
00:45:56little one said.
00:45:58Hi, Quinn here.
00:46:00Wondering what happens next?
00:46:02If you want to jump the queue and unleash
00:46:04all episodes, click on the link
00:46:06here and install the Pocket FM app.
00:46:12The paralysis effect
00:46:14from the bloodsucker was slowly starting to
00:46:16wear off, and as it did, Ian
00:46:18lifted himself off the ground to have a
00:46:20look at just what was going on.
00:46:22In the center of the arena, the arena was lit
00:46:24up by the small glowstone where
00:46:26Vorden was standing. As the bloodsucker
00:46:28lifted himself off the ground,
00:46:30he pulled the metal object that had been lodged
00:46:32into his shoulder and dropped it onto
00:46:34the floor.
00:46:36Instead of going in straight for
00:46:38an attack and charging in though,
00:46:40the bloodsucker dug its claw into the wall
00:46:42and started to climb upwards.
00:46:44How are we meant to see him now, said
00:46:46Vorden. It's too dark and the beast can attack
00:46:48from anywhere. He lifted his hands
00:46:50and started to crumble up each of the chairs
00:46:52into several metal spikes,
00:46:54all looming above his head. The other
00:46:56spears that were targeted had managed
00:46:58to penetrate him, going through his body
00:47:00and sticking him to the ceiling of the dome.
00:47:02However, the hole marks that could
00:47:04be seen in his body quickly healed up.
00:47:06This thing, why isn't it dead yet?
00:47:08Vorden said. Its eyes were
00:47:10slowly adjusting to the light that had
00:47:12surrounded Vorden, and now it could see
00:47:14the spikes as it left his side.
00:47:16The bloodsucker continued to move forward,
00:47:18avoiding each and every spike thrown at it.
00:47:20Then, when it was close enough,
00:47:22it swung its claw out.
00:47:24As it took a step forward though, it felt
00:47:26something sharp pierce into its foot.
00:47:28As the beast looked down, it was
00:47:30another metal spike. It looked
00:47:32in the distance and noticed that Ian had
00:47:34managed to recover. Suddenly though,
00:47:36tears started to fall from the little one's face.
00:47:38Now that the beast was close enough,
00:47:40the light from the stone shone and reviled
00:47:42the face and clothes of the beast.
00:47:44The beast in front of him
00:47:46was wearing the same uniform,
00:47:48and although it didn't look exactly like Quinn,
00:47:50it had similar qualities in its face.
00:47:52He didn't know what happened to make
00:47:54Quinn turn into a creature like this,
00:47:56but he could feel that the beast and Quinn
00:47:58was the same person.
00:48:00What are you doing? Ian shouted. Kill it!
00:48:02Ian then pulled out his trusty dagger,
00:48:04ready to attack, but when he looked
00:48:06in front of him, the beast had vanished from his view.
00:48:08The next second, he was staring up
00:48:10at the ceiling with his back on the floor.
00:48:12Then, when he looked down at his body,
00:48:14his legs were now completely detached
00:48:16from himself, blood pouring from them.
00:48:18The bloodsucker then dragged the top half
00:48:20of Ian's body away, into the hallway
00:48:22out of the arena, afraid that the
00:48:24other person might disturb its meal.
00:48:26The students had just been informed
00:48:28that the portal expedition that was meant
00:48:30to be going on today would be cancelled.
00:48:32Layla had been planning to confront Peter
00:48:34on the situation, especially since he
00:48:36had been acting so strangely, but before
00:48:38she could even get to him, he had already run away.
00:48:40Come on, Aaron, let's go find out
00:48:42what he's hiding, Layla said.
00:48:44But as she took a few steps forward,
00:48:46she noticed that Aaron wasn't following her.
00:48:48I have no need to get involved in your affairs,
00:48:50Aaron replied.
00:48:52You and Vorden are clearly the strongest in the class,
00:48:54and if you want to outperform the others
00:48:56from the other classes, you're going to have to team up
00:48:58with each other. After hearing Layla's
00:49:00last words, her eyes suddenly lit up.
00:49:02Let's go find that rat.
00:49:04As they continued to search for Peter,
00:49:06they still couldn't find him, but they did
00:49:08find a group of people who might have known where
00:49:10he was. It was Earl and his
00:49:12group of five other boys. Haven't I
00:49:14seen them hang around with Peter a few times at
00:49:16breakfast? The group were inside
00:49:18one of the training centers.
00:49:20If Layla was on her own, she would have never
00:49:22approached the group, but she had Aaron by
00:49:24her side. We're not here looking for trouble,
00:49:26just wondering if you knew where Peter was,
00:49:28she said, putting on a fake smile.
00:49:30The group looked at each other and started
00:49:32to laugh. Peter? Earl said.
00:49:34I wouldn't be surprised if that kid tried
00:49:36running out of the city by now.
00:49:38Anyway, buzz off, you two. We're not saying a single thing.
00:49:40If you want to find Peter, then go find him
00:49:42yourself. Aaron then started to walk
00:49:44up to the group of five. I don't want to
00:49:46waste any more time. Before the
00:49:48other students could even react, she had
00:49:50already thrown the ice spear, hitting
00:49:52Earl on his shoulder and pinning him against
00:49:54one of the drums that were used to show a student's
00:49:56power. As Earl's body
00:49:58landed on the drum, the number started
00:50:00to rise until it eventually stopped at
00:50:0220. The group watching this
00:50:04knew she was strong, but the machine
00:50:06had only confirmed their fears.
00:50:08However, she didn't care. She then
00:50:10placed both of her hands on the ground
00:50:12and a trail of ice started to appear,
00:50:14traveling across the floor, eventually
00:50:16reaching the group's legs and freezing
00:50:18them all in place. Now,
00:50:20which one of you is going to tell me what I want
00:50:22to know first? Aaron said.
00:50:24Wait, I'll tell you everything.
00:50:26I don't know where Peter is. He was meant to
00:50:28be here a while ago, but he never showed up.
00:50:30Peter, we're not sure exactly what
00:50:32happened, but we heard he pushed Vorden
00:50:34into a portal. That's all we know. We don't
00:50:36know why Quinn is missing as well.
00:50:38Of course, Earl was the one who was
00:50:40behind everything. He and his group had
00:50:42given Peter the instructions to push
00:50:44Vorden into the portal. When they had
00:50:46heard the news that two students were missing
00:50:48and confirmed Vorden was one of them,
00:50:50they thought Peter had done what he asked.
00:50:52Unknown to them, Peter
00:50:54hadn't actually pushed Vorden, but
00:50:56Quinn instead. The ice will melt
00:50:58in a couple of hours, or maybe someone in the
00:51:00room with an ability can help you.
00:51:02That's your punishment for making me wait
00:51:04instead of telling this girl what she wanted
00:51:06straight away. As Aaron
00:51:08walked off, exiting out of the training center,
00:51:10Layla quickly followed behind her.
00:51:12Thanks for that.
00:51:14That wasn't for you. I just hate it when
00:51:16guys think they're better than us. Better show
00:51:18people like that their place. Just
00:51:20then though, as the two of them were about to exit
00:51:22through the doors, the door opened inward
00:51:24and a familiar face was seen.
00:51:26It was Peter.
00:51:30Hi, Quinn here.
00:51:32Wondering what happens next?
00:51:34If you want to jump the queue and unleash
00:51:36all episodes, click on the link here
00:51:38and install the Pocket FM app.
00:51:44Immediately seeing Layla standing there,
00:51:46Peter went running off, but Aaron
00:51:48had reached out and grabbed him by the collar,
00:51:50pulling him back. She then slammed him up
00:51:52against the wall. Before he could even
00:51:54think about running away again, she placed
00:51:56her hands on his and started to freeze
00:51:58him. Peter, tell us the truth.
00:52:00Did you really push Vorden into the
00:52:02portal? She asked. What are
00:52:04you going to do? Hit me? Peter replied.
00:52:06Because trust me, I have already had my
00:52:08fair share of pain. Whatever you plan
00:52:10to do to me, go ahead. Aaron then
00:52:12started to form a small little needle
00:52:14shaped ice pick in her hand.
00:52:16Really, I'm sure there are a few places
00:52:18I could stick this in which would leave
00:52:20you wishing you'd kill yourself.
00:52:22Peter, I thought they were your friends. You know,
00:52:24every day Quinn would ask about how you
00:52:26were to me. Why didn't you just
00:52:28tell him or even just tell us what was
00:52:30happening? You don't know what would
00:52:32happen if I told you guys. You go
00:52:34beat them up. Then what? They would just come
00:52:36back for revenge. But do you think
00:52:38they would go after you, Aaron or Vorden?
00:52:40No, of course not. They would go after me.
00:52:42Peter then started to break down
00:52:44into tears. I didn't want to do
00:52:46it. I didn't have a choice.
00:52:48Layla had clenched her fist and
00:52:50was ready to punch Peter in the face.
00:52:52Seeing Peter's tearful face, she
00:52:54dropped her hand down to her side.
00:52:56You're not even worth hitting, Peter. You
00:52:58disgust me. She then turned
00:53:00and walked off and had one last word.
00:53:02You always have a choice.
00:53:04Inside one of the meeting rooms
00:53:06located in the first year building,
00:53:08a meeting had been called. Currently
00:53:10sitting at the head of the table was Nathan
00:53:12and by his side was Faye, who had been
00:53:14in charge of the investigation of the
00:53:16missing two students. As they waited,
00:53:18several other teachers started to enter
00:53:20the room. Del, who was Vorden
00:53:22and Quinn's homeroom teacher. Leo,
00:53:24who was the beast weapons teacher. And finally
00:53:26Haley, the school's doctor.
00:53:28Faye, would you please inform the others of
00:53:30why they have been called here today? Nathan
00:53:32asked. Faye then stood up with a report
00:53:34held in her hand.
00:53:36As you have been made aware, two of our students
00:53:38have gone missing and due to that, we have had
00:53:40to delay the first year's outing. However,
00:53:42if this was a simple missing persons
00:53:44case, we would not have called you all out
00:53:46here today. Faye then pressed
00:53:48a button on her controller and a hologram
00:53:50appeared, revealing a certain planet
00:53:52and around it, there were two moons.
00:53:54The missing students seem to have entered
00:53:56into a portal, but not just any
00:53:58portal, a red portal.
00:54:00How or why, we do not know, but
00:54:02one of the students was Vorden Blade,
00:54:04an original from a powerful family.
00:54:06The mission is not to bring him back alive,
00:54:08but to at least bring his body back.
00:54:10That way the family can say their goodbyes
00:54:12and it should calm down their anger.
00:54:14What about the other student? Leo
00:54:16asked. The other student is not a priority.
00:54:18He goes by the name of Quinn Talon,
00:54:20a weak level one with no family
00:54:22or an orphan. There is no need to
00:54:24worry about him. Do you know where
00:54:26the portal leads to? Haley asked.
00:54:28As you can see in the diagram, the
00:54:30red portal leads to an abandoned planet
00:54:32named Pioletic. It was
00:54:34one of the very first planets the human race
00:54:36had ever created a shelter on. It was
00:54:38safe for the most part, but as the place
00:54:40was filled with weak beasts. However,
00:54:42that was until a year had passed and
00:54:44nightfall had come. Beasts stronger
00:54:46than we had ever seen before came
00:54:48and attacked the shelter. We had no choice
00:54:50but to abandon the place, Faye explained.
00:54:52This is why we have called
00:54:54you four, Nathan said as he stood up.
00:54:56The four of you will head out through the red
00:54:58portal immediately. Don't worry, our
00:55:00latest reports say that the beasts that
00:55:02attacked the shelter have long since moved on.
00:55:04The place is mostly filled with
00:55:06Ratacross scum and the odd intermediate
00:55:08beast here and there. Del
00:55:10slammed his fist onto the table.
00:55:12Why should we risk our lives for a couple of
00:55:14students who may have just jumped into the portal themselves?
00:55:16Would you like to be the
00:55:18one to go to the Blade family and explain
00:55:20to them why their son has died and gone missing?
00:55:22How even though we insisted on
00:55:24these watches to keep track of where they are,
00:55:26we still weren't able to keep an eye on them?
00:55:28Nathan said. This is an order,
00:55:30not a request.
00:55:32Meanwhile, Layla was still worrying
00:55:34over Quinn. Don't worry too much,
00:55:36Aaron said. If Vorden is with him,
00:55:38he will protect his friend, but she was more
00:55:40worried that Vorden might be used as an
00:55:42emergency ration during the trip, more
00:55:44than anything. As they were walking through
00:55:46the hallway, they noticed that a group of students
00:55:48were gossiping, and as they walked
00:55:50past, they heard Vorden's name being mentioned.
00:55:52What did you say? Layla
00:55:54asked. Would you mind repeating that?
00:55:56We were just talking about the missing
00:55:58students. Dumbo here has the ability
00:56:00of super hearing and had heard in the meeting
00:56:02saying that Vorden was stuck on a red portal
00:56:04planet. Do you remember anything
00:56:06else? The name of the planet,
00:56:08if another student went with them? Aaron said.
00:56:10Um, yeah, they
00:56:12said the planet's name was Pioletic,
00:56:14and they said something about Quinn being there as well.
00:56:16Layla then got out
00:56:18of Dumbo's face and immediately started
00:56:20rushing towards her room.
00:56:22I'm sorry, Aaron, I've got to run somewhere. Thanks
00:56:24for all the help.
00:56:26Layla had rushed off towards her dorm room
00:56:28as quickly as she could, after hearing
00:56:30about what planet they were on.
00:56:32As she entered the room, she lost the door
00:56:34behind her and placed a chair on the handle.
00:56:36Her roommate luckily wasn't in
00:56:38at the moment. She then bent down under
00:56:40her bed and pulled out a small little box.
00:56:42As she opened the box, a circular
00:56:44black sphere-shaped ball was inside.
00:56:46She then tapped the top of the sphere
00:56:48and a clicking sound was heard.
00:56:50A white ring started to light up and went
00:56:52around in circles for a few seconds
00:56:54before it finally completely lit up.
00:56:56Agent 83, what seems
00:56:58to be the problem? A voice said from the
00:57:00hall. Is it to do with the mission?
00:57:02I have found someone who would be of great
00:57:04help in our cause. However, it
00:57:06appears he is stuck somewhere. Would you be
00:57:08able to check if there are any agents on a planet
00:57:10named Pioletic? Layla asked.
00:57:12Give me a few moments. I'm afraid
00:57:14all our agents have left that planet a while
00:57:16ago. Is there anything else I can help you
00:57:18with? No, that is it. Thank you.
00:57:20Layla said. Then may I wish
00:57:22you luck in your mission. May Pure be with you.
00:57:24May Pure be with you.
00:57:26Layla replied.
00:57:31Hi, Quinn here.
00:57:33Wondering what happens next?
00:57:35If you want to jump the queue and unleash
00:57:37all episodes, click on the link
00:57:39here and install the Pocket FM app.
00:57:45As Vorden jumped
00:57:47into the red portal, he felt a
00:57:49tingling sensation all over his body.
00:57:51A few moments later, Vorden
00:57:53had arrived. He opened his eyes and the
00:57:55first thing he noticed was the place was
00:57:57incredibly dark. Vorden then
00:57:59started to look at his surroundings.
00:58:01It was strange to see building structures around
00:58:03them. When there was building work,
00:58:05it would usually be Dalki structure,
00:58:07but this was clearly not Dalki based.
00:58:09Aren't the red portals
00:58:11meant to be unsheltered planets? This place
00:58:13looks like a broken shelter.
00:58:15I think you are forgetting something,
00:58:17Rayton said. While orange may mean
00:58:19it's in the process of being taken over and
00:58:21sheltered being places, red
00:58:23can also mean it's too dangerous to build a
00:58:25shelter in the first place. You have
00:58:27basically given us a death sentence.
00:58:29What do you mean? Vorden asked.
00:58:31Are you really being so stupid?
00:58:33Sure, you might have run through that portal so
00:58:35you didn't kill your friend, but what's the point
00:58:37if we die instead?
00:58:39Then, a thought came to Vorden's mind.
00:58:41Quinn. The portal
00:58:43was unable to send you to a pinpoint
00:58:45location, but it did put you in
00:58:47the same general area, at least
00:58:49within 10 miles of each other. For now,
00:58:51Vorden would look for a portal back
00:58:53to the Academy while also searching
00:58:55for Quinn. Somewhere on the same
00:58:57planet, Quinn had also arrived.
00:58:59His heart was beating rapidly
00:59:01as it was the first time he had experienced
00:59:03such a thing.
00:59:05Peter, what the hell was that? Quinn thought.
00:59:07Damn it, he must have pushed me through the
00:59:09portal. Where am I?
00:59:11As Quinn looked around, he could see the
00:59:13similar buildings around him all crumbled,
00:59:15torn, and fallen down.
00:59:17The place looked like a city it once existed
00:59:19but had been left behind for years.
00:59:21However, there was one saving
00:59:23grace about the whole thing. On the planet,
00:59:25it was currently nighttime, meaning
00:59:27Quinn didn't feel weak and had a better
00:59:29chance of surviving. However,
00:59:31before Quinn had even moved from the spot
00:59:33he was in, he spotted something
00:59:35from the corner of his eye. Quinn tried
00:59:37to follow whatever it was with his eyes
00:59:39but it would constantly move around
00:59:41until it had eventually stopped, just
00:59:43underneath a pile of rubble from one
00:59:45of the buildings. Quinn started
00:59:47to back away, making sure to keep an
00:59:49eye on where he last saw the figure.
00:59:51Then, when he was a safe enough distance
00:59:53away, he finally turned around.
00:59:55In that instant, a sound
00:59:57could be heard from behind.
00:59:59Quinn immediately turned around and could
01:00:01see a horrible figure running towards him.
01:00:03It clearly wasn't an ordinary
01:00:05animal and something he had only ever
01:00:07seen in books and TV.
01:00:09It was a beast.
01:00:11Suddenly, Quinn could hear the sounds of
01:00:13something scurrying towards him at an amazing
01:00:15speed. As he turned, the beast
01:00:17was now in full sight. When the creature
01:00:19was a few feet away, it leapt
01:00:21in the air and claws appeared from the creature's
01:00:23two front limbs. Quinn,
01:00:25almost out of instinct, swiped his hand
01:00:27letting out a blood swipe. The attack
01:00:29managed to hit the beast and sent it
01:00:31flying back. Name,
01:00:33Raticala. Basic tier beast.
01:00:35HP?
01:00:37Unlike
01:00:39with humans, when Quinn used the status
01:00:41screen, it would show their HP and
01:00:43blood type, but in this case, he had
01:00:45only received a name and the level of the
01:00:47beast. Seeing the tier of
01:00:49the beast though, Quinn started to feel a
01:00:51little less frightened. The Raticala
01:00:53had recovered and charred straight for
01:00:55Quinn once again. Seeing how the blood
01:00:57swipe was effective, he waited for the
01:00:59beast to get close once again.
01:01:01Blood swipe! But Quinn had
01:01:03underestimated the speed and the responsiveness
01:01:05of the Raticala.
01:01:07Defense, 1. Durability of
01:01:09weapon has decreased by 50%.
01:01:11Strength has fallen, 2.
01:01:133. You little crap, get off me!
01:01:15Quinn shouted as he started
01:01:17swinging his arm. With the beast stuck to
01:01:19his arm, it was too dangerous for him to
01:01:21use blood swipe and too close for him
01:01:23to perform a hammer strike.
01:01:25All that was left was to do it the old-fashioned
01:01:27way. Quinn then started to
01:01:29repeatedly pound the beast on its head
01:01:31with his other hand. With each blow,
01:01:33black blood would gush out of the beast.
01:01:35The blows were powerful and
01:01:37damaging to the beast, and with each strike,
01:01:39the grip started to loosen.
01:01:41If you had just stayed away, you could have lived!
01:01:43Quinn shouted as he continued
01:01:45to punch the beast until finally
01:01:47its grip had come loose and it had fallen
01:01:49to the ground. Basic tier beast
01:01:51Raticala has been defeated.
01:01:53100 EXP points gained.
01:01:55In a way, beasts were
01:01:57a goldmine for his system.
01:01:59Congratulations, you are now level 5.
01:02:01Race, Halfling.
01:02:03HP, 30 of 30.
01:02:0540 of 1600 EXP.
01:02:07Strength, 13, 2.
01:02:09Agility, 15.
01:02:11Stamina, 12.
01:02:13Strength, 14, 2.
01:02:15But the system still had one more surprise for him.
01:02:17New skill unlocked,
01:02:19Blood Spray.
01:02:21Cost, minus 5 HP.
01:02:23The skill reminded Quinn
01:02:25of a shotgun he used to watch
01:02:27from the old movies, where the small pellets
01:02:29would spread out, hitting multiple targets.
01:02:31The problem was the cost of the skill.
01:02:335 HP was a
01:02:35huge amount, and even with his blood bank,
01:02:37Quinn would have to be careful when using it.
01:02:39Quinn then walked
01:02:41up to the dead beast on the ground.
01:02:43He had punched the creature so hard in the skull,
01:02:45it was indented, and blood
01:02:47was leaking everywhere. Inspect.
01:02:49Raticala blood.
01:02:51If blood is consumed, is poisonous
01:02:53to the body. Minus 1 HP
01:02:55for every millimeter of blood consumed.
01:02:57I wonder why my body only accepts
01:02:59human blood.
01:03:01The system had been oddly specific
01:03:03when his body started to require blood.
01:03:05This made Quinn think that even the blood
01:03:07of animals wouldn't work, even though
01:03:09some were red in color, just like humans.
01:03:11Suddenly though, the sound of something
01:03:13running was heard again, as Quinn looked
01:03:15up, the sight of 10 Raticlas
01:03:17running in his direction. After
01:03:19struggling to face just against one,
01:03:21he knew he had no chance against 10.
01:03:23All he could do was run.
01:03:25He ran down the empty street,
01:03:27not knowing where he was heading.
01:03:29But the Raticlas were fast, and would soon
01:03:31catch up. That's when Quinn
01:03:33spotted a building, one that was far
01:03:35less damaged than the others. He went
01:03:37inside, but the space was still too
01:03:39large. He then spotted a stairway
01:03:41to his right nearby.
01:03:43After quickly running up the stairway,
01:03:45and reaching the first platform, he
01:03:47stopped and turned. He knew he had
01:03:49no choice but to fight back. With his
01:03:51palm open facing downward, he was
01:03:53ready. Time to test you out.
