Chapter 1 - Day one

A large man sits in a chair too small for his body leans backwards precariously balancing off the back two legs and staring up at the white panelled ceiling as other funnel into the classroom. A tall lanky boy waltzes in slinging a bag onto the table next to the muscular giant.

"Hey, Kain." 

The large man turns his head and smiles upon seeing his friend, and leans forward, slamming both front legs of the chair onto the floor.

"Hey Charles",

As he begins to talk more, a teacher stumbles into the classroom, coughing and wheezing in a panic, his shirt drenched in sweat and what looks like ketchup spread all across the front of his blazer.

"Someone call the police"

The greying man yells and frantically slams the door behind him and slides down the door clutching at his heart whilst panting. One of the girls fumbles in her bag and pulls out a phone dialling it, the phone buzzes repeatedly until it stops with no answer. The class now all out of their seats all scramble around the classroom.

"What?" 

A blonde boy stood by the window looks down into the courtyard, others crowded the window in utter terror as the paved floor is dyed red with the blood of students as they are ripped apart by small creatures that dash around, avoiding their victim's futile attempt at fighting back.

The room fills with a sickening feeling that surrounds Kain, he clutches at his throat and struggles greatly to swallow as others completely ignore him watching the bloodbath outside. Charles rushes over and crouches next to his friend, shaking him slightly in concern.

"ah...gurgle..."

Kain scratches at his throat as it feels as if he had swallowed steel wool, his eyes water and knees buckle as blood, black bile and a strange light blue liquid spew out from his mouth, spilling onto the floor and soaking into the carpet. The light blue transparent liquid slowly vanishes into a mist before mixing into the air completely disappearing. 

The pain slowly subsides as Kain clutches his stomach in agony, he weakly stands supported by Charles as the others finish watching the massacre bellow, several students rush out of class and run down the hallway whilst others begin to panic and fall to the floor, Only a handful manage to keep their calm and not fall into despair.

"oh my god!" 

A girl screams as one of their classmates' severed head missing and eyeball rolls through the open door, leaving a trail of blood behind it as it hits the leg of a desk stopping it in its tracks. A small grey creature walks into the class with a grin from ear to ear across its face, the little monster's large nose wrinkles in anger and its long, pointed ears twitch slightly as it looks into the room. 

Everyone freezes in horror as it spits out a deflated eyeball covered in drool. A girl closest to the door attempts to jump over the monster fleeing out the door, but the creature swings a small blade, slicing her foot clean off. It turns, giggling to itself as the knife plunges into the girl's back. Kain rushes over and charges up a kick, sending the beast flying into the wall, leaving a red smudge as it slides down the wall, spilling blood from a gaping crack in its skull onto the floor. His classmates pull the screaming girl into the classroom and begin to barricade the door shut, but before they do, Kain takes the small knife off the monster and slips it into his pocket. 

"my god Kain, what was that?"

Charles clutches his hair and sits back in his chair, struggling to breath and turning a ghostly white as the teacher attempts to help the injured girl stop the bleeding. Kain sits against the wall and sighs closing his eyes trying to block out the girls harrowing screeches, as he opens his eyes again a strange silver floating screen appears before him with his name written in a pure white colour, he stares blankly at the screen, blinking rapidly and rubbing his eyes he stands but the screen follows along gliding In front of his eyes once more. Kain swings his hand at the screen, trying to bat it away, but the screen just changes to a different window 

that reads.

The text fades away, revealing another screen with stat information. Kain closes his eyes again and rubs the bridge of his nose, letting out a groan and begins thinking to himself.

"I must have gone insane, maybe it's a dream?" 

He pinches his arm and twists, then looks back up at the screen, which still remains unchanged, a bead of sweat rolls down his forehead and 

down his cheek, eventually careening onto the floor.

[quest]

Kill 10 monsters- 1/10

Reward: ???

Kain grumbles and groans, grabbing his bag off the floor and rummaging through it. He pulls out a metal bottle filled with water and gulps down the entire thing within seconds before turning to leave. He steps over the pool of blood and pushes aside the chairs and tables stacked on top of each other, much to the anger of his classmates, who shout and swear at him as he exits the room, only for the door to be slammed shut behind him.

He continues to walk down the corridor, stepping over the dead bodies of fellow students, whose uniforms are soaked in blood and torn into pieces. He resumes the death march, pulling out the knife from before and holding its poor quality metal blade out in front of him with a slightly shaking hand. He turns to walk down the stairs only to see several of the creatures from before, tearing apart a teacher's corpse with similar crude weapons and stuffing the chunks of flesh into their maws, tearing the chunks apart with their jagged teeth.
