In a street filled with monsters, a lone man stood on a three-story house; his eyes were dark and cold, and his black jacket fluttered in the winds as his left hand was on his sword that was around his waist. He took a step forward and jumped down the three-story house; his black jacket fluttered wildly, making him seem like a devil that descended from hell.He drew out his sword and slashed midair.The monsters in his way were cut open as their blood sprayed around. His action drew the attention of the surrounding monsters; they roared and growled viciously as they ran towards him, wanting to kill him.The young man revealed a smirk from the corner of his lips, which made his handsome face look very arrogant; well, he was indeed arrogant. He wasn't concerned about whether the monsters were too much for him to handle or if he was even going to survive. For the future goal he had, all these monsters were stepping stones for him, and anyone who dares to block him will be cut down with his sword until he is strong enough to fight the gods and make them pay for their evil deeds. His name's Dennis Drake; he was originally living a peaceful life before the apocalypse began and everything changed.The monsters were moving too slowly for his liking, so he rushed forward with a speed that was almost close to the speed of sound.«SKILL: RAGING FLAME SWORD»
He activated his skill, and his sword was covered in raging flames. He swung his flamey sword furiously, killing each monster as they burned in flames.
Drake continued to swing his sword until there was no monster left in the street; the monsters are less than one hundred, but still, they are too much for one person to kill without breaking a sweat.Drake sat on the floor as he took in a deep breath, even though it looked easy when he was killing the monsters, it still took a lot of stamina to keep fighting against one hundred monsters.
He opened his status window

Drake was able to level up from level 3 to level 5 in such a short time, while others are still finding it difficult to even reach level one; in fact, some even died in the process.Drake calmed down and stood up after calculating his gain; since there were no more monsters in the street, he left.Collins and James were lying on the floor breathing hard. There was red and green blood on their bodies; it was their blood and the monster they killed.
Due to their limited strength they had to work together to take down a monster.

The increase in his strength wasn't satisfying, but it was still better than none."Hey Collins, I have awakened my attribute; come and see," James shouted excitedly.Collins stood up and walked towards James, he sat beside him and stared at the space, unable to see a thing.
"I can't see it. "He said."What? You can't see it? But it's right in front of me," James said with surprise."Maybe we can't see others status," Collins said after thinking about it."Haa, I really want to show you my status and my attribute," James said with disappointment."You can just tell me." "Sure, open your ears widely and listen; although the name of my attribute is weird, the meaning is great." James has begun to brag.Collins looked at James tiredly and said, "Can you please just say it? I'm exhausted." "Okay, since you want to hear it, here it is.My attribute is The Gifted Hoodlum."
Collins: (●__●)
"I told you not to think of the name but the meaning behind it," James said gloomily.Collins snapped out of his surprise and asked "what is the meaning behind it?"
James began to smile and Collins knew he was about to brag again.
"Because of the mightiness of body and brain, I was able to gain the Gifted Hoodlum attribute, as it will enhance my intelligence and ability to fight and support orders." He folded his arms behind him and took the pose of a master and asked in a deep voice, "I'm remarkable, right?"
Collins was stumped, he couldn't help but smile. Despite the changes that they have been through, it didn't change James character; he remained who he was.At that moment, Collins couldn't help thinking about his parents; he wondered how they were doing; he didn't know what they were doing, where they were, or if they even survived the apocalypse."James, have you called your parents yet?" The smug look on James face vanished; he shook his head and picked out his phone and dialed his parents phone number.It rang and was answered in the next moment."Hello dad, how are you and everyone doing?" he shouted excitedly. After all, numerous people died when the world began to change.
"Hello, sorry but I'm not your dad." Someone from the other end of the phone call said.
"Wha…. What do you mean?" James was flustered."I found this phone among some dead bodies..." the person from the other end of the phone said, but James was no longer listening. It was as if an electrical circuit was cut off from his head. He understood what that person meant, but he couldn't believe it. His parents, who gave birth to him, took care of him, and fulfilled anything he ever wanted, but now they are dead; there was no way he could ever repay them for their effort.Hate began to breed in his heart, Collins also heard everything, he was also sad because James parents were good to him, not only to him, they were generally good people but now because of some sickened Gods, they were dead.
"Collins, what should I do now? My parents are dead; I don't know what to do," James said, his voice devoid of any emotion.It pained Collins to see James like this, so he toughened himself and said, "Let's grow stronger, stronger than any being, stronger than the gods, and we will make them pay for what they did, ten times, no tens of thousands of times." James face lit up a little as he now has a goal to work on, to avenge his family and make the gods pay for it tens of thousands of times.Collins suddenly groaned in pain as he began to had a spitting headache. He used both of his hands to hold his head; he screamed as he couldn't hold it back anymore. James beside him was surprised; he tried to help Collins but was unable to.His face was filled with worry as he didn't know what was happening to Collins.James began to search around, looking for something that could help, but he found none. He could only stayed beside Collins and guard him against monsters as he was powerless to do anything and could only pray that this moment should pass.
