Jace's phone connects with his mom right after he finished calling. "Mom!Mom! Are you okay?" Jace yells into his phone "Yes, I am okay, I am here with your father and are following the instructions of the military here."
Jace sighs in relief "Okay, good your fine." Jace hears an explosion from the phone and then screams. "Mom, Dad! What is happening?" After this the phone then disconnects and hangs up. Jace is left standing there in the cafeteria looking at his phone as chaos happens around him.
Jace snapping out of his daze with tears in his eyes reacts at once. 'I need to get to safety' Jace thinks and starts by checking outside the school to see no holes in the sky anywhere nearby. Jace debates if the best choice is to go to the safe house in the woods or with the other people.
What makes up his decision is the screaming coming from the broadcast that was still open on his phone. On the phone the military was sending everything they could into the monsters but nothing was happening and they were tearing through them. As Jace sees the monsters he sees a status screen appear before him which surprises him.
Scout Demon (Level 1)
Combat power-10
Notes-Lowest level of demon. Very weak and can be beaten by anyone with mana.
Jace sees this and immediately starts heading to his safe house. 'If that is what I am fighting right now then I would be fine by myself and would not need to worry about keeping other people safe'.
Jace arrives at his safe house within 20 minutes of leaving the school. Jace then in the middle looking around from inside to keep watch of anything coming near him while he tries to call his parents again.
His phone however just rings and no one picks up on the other side. As Jace is sitting there he realizes that he forgot to grab his egg from inside his house as well as the clothes he had put in the house. So Jace grabs his weapons and starts heading to his house to retrieve the items.

Jace arrives at the house with ease and arrives in his room. Jace collects his things, and hears a sound downstairs. Jace then stops what he is doing and grabs his weapons.
Jace walks down the stairs and listens again for the sound and hears it come from the kitchen. 'Looks like this will be the first monster I encounter. Now just do what you practiced'. Jace moves into the living room keeping his eye on the kitchen and sure enough there is a monster looking around.
Jace layers his mana on his throwing knife and makes the tether. Jace prepares then observes the monster and waits till it is interested in something so that it would stay still. After a little wait it stops in front of the stove.
When this happens Jace jumps up and throws his knife and lands a head shot. Jace then hears the notification that he had never heard before "Ding, killed demon scout earned 100xp. Due to the title effect increased to 120xp."
Jace standing in the living room just pulled the tether making his knife fly back to him. 'That's what you get for invading my world and messing with my family'. Jace then walks back upstairs and finishes collecting his belongings.
Jace then walks out of the house and arrives back to his safe house and gets everything situated. A little after Jace hears an explosion come from the direction of his house. Jace then turns to see in the distance a pillar of smoke and fire.
Jace, while looking at the pillar, tries to call his parents once again but no one picks up once again. Jace decides that the best course of action for now would be to keep safe and stay put while keeping updated.
It turned out that cell service still worked and that the news channels were regularly updating. 'I have a solar charger so I won't need to worry about losing battery for the moment.
Jace turning his volume all the way down watches the broadcast while keeping watch and practicing collecting mana. Jace sees on the news broadcast a map of the United States and reads the close captions.
"There are around 10 holes for every state" the reporter was saying while pointing "The holes appear to mostly be around the most densely populated cities and spread out after that. A map of your local state will appear on screen with the location of holes for your information and safety."
When the map appears Jace immediately screenshots the map and continues watching. "This is just in,we have some bad news regarding the repelling of the invasion. The city of Kalamazoo has fallen and there has been a report that anyone in the city has not survived."
Jace, seeing this is devastated as this was where his parents worked and could guess why no one was answering the phone. After this many more reports came in of other cities around the country falling. The only place where cities hadn't fallen was where the DSC had schools and the children joined the fight.
Jace prepared to go to bed for the night, made sure everything was covered and that he was well hidden before going to bed. Over the night more cities fell in the states as well as all over the rest of the world. Jace however didn't care about any of this as he was asleep and had no time to worry about anyone but himself at the moment.
