      Running recklessly through the forest, Daniel tripped unto the ground making a loud thud, he instantly stood back up and continued running to unknown directions. The sun was already setting as the dark clouds multiplied rapidly in the sky, it was vivid that a great storm was coming.

After many minutes of running a long distance in the forest, he leaned himself on a tree while breathing heavily. The sun had already set and the forest now made strange and frightening sound, the forest trees and leaves were now dark green due to the absence of light in the atmosphere.

      After about thirty minutes, Daniel gradually began to hear cackle noises and running footstep, he immediately stood upright and turned his head backward where he gazed at the red light from the burning flames that vastly approach to toward him.

     Thump! Thump!

     Daniel immediately began to run upon sighting the light, it had to be a large crowd of the people from the town who had paraded into the forest. Right now, the only thing Daniel could do was run for his dear life since he was an half-elf without magic which the other possessed

“Oh God, s-save me f-from this chaos.” Daniel cried running deeper into the forest. Life had always been cruel to him due to his nature of being a weakling right from his young age to his current one, even now something strange had happened to the world and had yet left him with a chronic bad luck, it was all just so unfortunate.

    Thud!

     Daniel instantly tripped over and stumbled on the ground upon hearing a low growl which echoed from behind one of the tree. He stood up almost immediately and continued running, staggering over the roots of trees and producing loud panting sound which escaped his breathe.

Suddenly, he began to hear scream in the area which followed by echoes of unorganized footsteps. Daniel finally stood still and turned back to take a peak at the event that was happening behind him, gazing back he saw a loud crowd of unnatural species of people running toward his position while holding burning woods.

“There is a beast there.” A large round man who was definitely an orc growled at the crowd who immediately diverted into another path while screaming hysterically.

“Eh, how could that huge thing call me a beast. But wait, what if…”

    Just before Daniel could clear his mind of his thought, a razor-sharp scratched through his cheek leaving trails of light red blood

“Ow, what the..” He stumbled on the ground upon feeling the sharp pain on his cheek, he raised his palm on the trace of blood which escaped from his wound.

«HP – 468/500»

«Attacked by : Wolf

  Tier : Diseased

 Damaged caused : 10 points

 Advice from Tentadrone : RUN!»

«[Companion not found]»

     A message formed in Daniel’s eyes and immediately disappeared as soon as he read it completely. Seeing the advice from the Tentadrone he instantly stood up and began running toward the direction of the crowd.

As he ran he heard the loud growl of the wolf which pursued after him. Gradually the wolf began catching up with him being few inches away from him.

Daniel ran slowly even with all of his might while the wolf just ran after him with it normal pace.

      Luckily for Daniel, he was now an inch away from the crowd who screamed and trembled upon the sight of the wolf. Running into the crowd, the wolf seemed to had lost sight of Daniel since it was amidst a crowd but however, it didn’t stop but instead attacked anyone who it touched.

   Daniel wiped the sweat on his forehead resizing that he lost the wolf.

“Ahh.” He sighed in relief running amongst the crowd of combined race.

     Roar!

     A loud roar echoed in the surrounding and the people from the front instantly turned around running toward an opposite direction.

     Ahhh!

     It is a demonic creature!

The crowd screamed running helter-skelter on the forest. The people from the left, right, front and back diverted from their various path due to what they saw.

    Daniel whose eyes widened stood still on the ground confused of where to run, he gritted his teeth as he watched the crowd of different people run with fear, even mothers had let go of their children who fell onto their knees crying uncontrollably. Within a matter of second, Daniel felt a cold fluid splatter on his shirt, he looked down and saw a thick and red liquid drenched on him, he immediately looked around and saw a little girl being slaughtered by a strange creature, her skin were being shred by the large red claw of the beast as it dug it large fangs into her flesh.

      Feeling irritated by the scene, Daniel immediately puked a mix of food which came out disgusting, he instantly began to run noticing that the area had been filled with unknown creature. Shortly, the whole part of the forest was set ablaze due to the magic of the confused fire elementalist.

…….

    Two years had passed away quickly, the planet had grew into a deceased one where constant war between different race occurred, some new species such as ogres, orcs, and giants who didn’t acquire any special abilities except there physical appearance were used as slaves for the powerful. Normal human who were unfortunate to not have any change two years ago hid in the shadows away form the new set of race who had suddenly lost their sense of humanity and turned into dangerous predators towards the human.

Some people had settled down in the chaotic world due to the unrivaled powers they possessed. Though, some set of race such as the Minotaur, Owlin, Yuan-ti pureblood, Ganashi and Triton managed to settle down in their territory that were fit for their nature, race such as Owlin settled in the sky, Water Ganashi settled in water since that was their natural ability and the others on land

……

    Daniel legs shivered on the ground, his bloodshot eyes were widely opened with sweat dripping from his forehead down to his squeezed face. Slowly, his legs moved step by step towards a wide furnace of fire holding a bag of red pearl, getting to the furnace he arrogantly threw the pearl from the bag into the furnace.

Unexpectedly, the bag slipped from his hand into the furnace

“Hey, you piece of trash, you just bought yourself trouble boy.”

   A large an muscular man who was standing by the side of the furnace  shouted walking gallantly toward him.
