Jack gave his new baseball bat a swing, and felt it collide with the first zombies skull, turning its head into mush. That zombie dropped to the floor, but Jack watched in horror as eight more zombies scrambled into the room.
"Inner demon!"
Jack wasted no time and activated his special ability the second he saw the rest of the zombies.
A dark crimson red aura swept across jacks body, filling him with an unknown energy.
Two thirty centimetre horns suddenly erupted from jacks forehead, his skin turned black with strange red tattoos spiralling across his entire body, his vision was slightly tinged red and his entire being was flushed with power.
All this happening in the time span of a second.
Almost as soon as the transformation finished one of the zombies threw itself at Jack, but Jack met its rush with a bat swing that hit the zombie in the throat.
The bat forcefully tore the zombies head from its body, sending the head and body flying across the room and slamming into two zombies behind it.
But just after this another zombie tried to bite down on jacks outstretched arm, Jack quickly backhanded the zombie with his metal gauntlets, hitting the zombie across the jaw.
While that zombie was dazed he blew its brains out with a heavy blow from the metal bat, killing it instantly.
Two more zombies threw themselves at Jack simultaneously, but Jack crushed one's head with a brutal downwards swing while he kicked the other across the room.
Another zombie ran at Jack, but it was met with a fierce uppercut and then a bat the the face, blowing its foul brains across the room.
But while jacks body was turned away one of the zombies managed to tear its claws across jacks bicep, ripping through the jacket like it was made out of paper.
Jack jumped backwards and barely avoided another swipe from the zombie, while jumped backwards he managed to cave in another zombies skull with his bat, but now Jacks back was against a window.
One of the zombies, seeing an opportunity with its limited intelligence, messily tackled Jack through the window.
Jack felt the zombie's shoulder hit his chest and let out a gasp at the zombies strength, but his gasp was interrupted when he went through the window, glass cutting into his back.
Jack lost ahold of his bat and raised an elbow, then he brought it down ferociously on the zombies back successfully separating the two of them midair.
But the crisis wasn't over yet as Jack fell from the fifth floor, he wasn't able to manoeuvre himself midair so the only thing he could do was watch the ground rush up to meet him, he hurriedly protected his head.
*CRUNCH*
Jack slammed against the ground with a brutal crunch, he lay there for a second, groaning. But he didn't have any time to waste as he heard the zombies screech furiously and rush around inside the dorm.
He picked himself up off the ground, wincing at his shoulder.
"Holy crap that hurts, I think it's dislocated." In fact it was a miracle that he only ended up with a dislocated shoulder, but it could also have something to do with the inner demon body enhancement.
As Jack got up he saw the other zombie that took the short flight with him. It hit the ground head first.
"I'll forever remember you as humpty-dumpty...." Jack thought to himself.
Jack started looking around him for some way to escape, but as he was looking a red aura erupted during from his body and dispersed, Jack felt himself revert back into human form again.
You have levelled up!
You have levelled up!

"Brilliant..."
Jack looked down at his dislocated arm and clenched his teeth, then using his enchanted strength he repeatedly punched himself in the shoulder until he felt it pop back into place.
Jack cursed under his breath and looked around.
"Hey! Up here, we have some spare room!"
Jack was suddenly alerted by the shouting of a girl, he looked to the source and saw a girl with long black hair, she was leaning out the window of the top floor of the girls dormitory building.
Jack frowned and started formulating a plan in his mind, then he started running towards the building at a full sprint. He saw several zombies emerge from the boys dorms and start to give chase, he also saw several zombies between him and the girls dorm.
"Assign 3 stat points to strength and 3 to agility!"
Then he dodged around the wild swipes of a few zombies and was soon within 3 meters of the girls dorms, Jack jumped and landed on a window sill on the first floor. Then using his new strength and agility he threw himself up and grabbed ahold of a window sill on the second floor. Pulling himself up just as the zombies behind him slammed into the wall where Jack had previously been.

Jack continued to climb the dorm walls until he finally reached the girls dorm window.
When he reached the window and pulled himself up he was met with three girls and one guy, they all stared at Jack in amazement and awe.
Jack pulled himself in through the open window and landed on the floor with a thud, the guy immediately went to help Jack up.
"Hey, how he hell did you survive that fall earlier! We saw you fall from the top fucking floor!"
Jack looked at the guy who was so enthusiastically asking him questions, he had wavy blonde hair and a handsome face with sky blue eyes. Jack recognised him as the student body president.
One of the girls looked at Jack curiously, she was the one who yelled at him earlier. She had long dark black hair that reached her waist and a pretty face, she also had a athletic looking body that would make any man drool.
"Guess I got lucky." Jack replied to the guys question.
"Well I guess you god damn did! By the way my name is Harry."
Then Harry pointed at the pretty dark haired girl.
"Her name is Akane, she's normally rather silent."
Next he pointed too a pretty small blonde girl.
"Her name is Nisse."
He finally pointed at a pretty brown haired girl.
"And her name is Amelia."
All the girls greeted him one by one, but soon an awkward silence descended across the room. Until Akane asked Jack:
"So uh, what's your name?"
Jack looked at her, "My name is..... Dark. You can call me Dark."
Jack looked at the floor, as far as he saw it, when the world had ended so did Jack. He would need to change to survive this brutal world, and a new life needs a new name. But Jack loved his father so he decided to go by his fathers name, Dark.
Harry looked at dark and said "So can we see your face? I think that'd be the first step to a lengthy friendship."
The girls agreed, who would want to trust someone who's face they'd never seen before?
"Sorry, I got scratched up pretty bad, you'll have to wait until it heals."
"Oh that's okay, sorry for being inconsiderate..." Harry said as he slowly descended once more into silence. But he soon thought up something else to discuss.
"So Dark, I have to say you looked pretty damn badass when that monster tackled you out the window! And how did yo-HOLY GUACAMOLE!"
Everybody jumped at Harry's surprise, Harry pointed at Dark's ruined bicep.
"Whoops, forgot about that. Gimme a second."
Dark frowned as he looked down at his arm, then he took of his back pack, careful to avoid touching his wound.
He grabbed out his medical kit and took off his shirt, the girls all blushed while they looked at him and Harry whistled. Dark looked down and saw that he suddenly had a defined six pack and bulging muscles, "either thanks to the stats or the after effects of Inner Demon" he thought to himself.
Ignoring the girls and Harry who he assumed had never had medical training, Dark started to dress the wound with bandages. Gritting his teeth as he tightened the dressing.
In a few minutes he finished and put his jacket back on along with his backpack, Harry and the girls looked at him with a sorry expression.
"Sorry for not being able to do anything Dark" Harry said.
"Don't worry about it."
Harry then stood up straight and confidently.
"I don't think we can stay here for long, while it is good that the girls dorms have steel reinforced doors I still don't think they'd last long. I'm sure some of you would have realised that the world has almost turned into a game, so for now we will try to 'upgrade' ourselves." Harry said.
He then turned to Dark, "We all have seen what Dark is capable of, I think with Darks help we will be able to leave the school. But that all depends on Dark."
"Dark, are you willing to help us?" Harry said.
Dark silently nodded, he didn't have any other plans for now anyway. Might as well throw himself in with this lot.
Harry thanked him and continued to explain some things about the world he has realised, some of which were things that Dark also didn't see. Like the small slightly transparent blue bar in his peripheral vision, this was his mana bar apparently.
Dark's mana was Currently at five points out of sixty, he assumed that his demonic transformation had used up the majority of it.
After this, Harry made Dark dismantle their dorms table and give a leg to each of them for protection, whilst Dark would just use his metal gauntlets.
"Okay now remember it's okay if you get scratched, but if you get bitten it's all over." Harry reminded them before they opened the dorm door.
Dark was positioned in front of the door, ready for anything that would come jumping out.
"I never was the leader type of guy, but I still cannot believe I'm doing this...." Dark thought to himself.
