The group left their temporary sanctuary behind, stepping out into the transformed world

Ray took the lead, as the leader and front line fighter. he kept a vigilant eye on their surroundings. Selene followed closely behind, her newfound fireball skill ready to defend the group if needed.

The rest of the group moved with a sense of urgency, each member contributing to their safety in their own way. One of the students took on the responsibility of helping the injured student, offering reassurance and support as they moved forward. Ron, their English teacher, and another student took each a chair from an abandoned classroom, forming a makeshift barrier to protect themselves if they encountered any threats.

As they moved through the university campus, the once-familiar surroundings now felt alien and eerie. Buildings that had once been filled with the hustle and bustle of students and faculty were now silent and foreboding.

Their journey through the transformed university campus continued, the group moving cautiously as they navigated the eerie silence. Ray's role as both leader and front-line fighter had solidified, and he was acutely aware of the responsibility that came with it. His bone claws remained at the ready, a physical manifestation of his determination to protect his newfound companions.

Their journey brought them to an intersection, where they faced a choice of directions. Ray knew that every decision they made could have life-altering consequences in this transformed world. The group huddled together to discuss their options.

Just as they were deliberating, another group of survivors emerged from a nearby building. This group consisted of three students who had clearly adapted to this new reality with skill and teamwork.

1. Natalie Rodriguez: A young woman with a strong and athletic build, Natalie had been a dedicated member of the university's fencing club before the transformation. Her piercing blue eyes and short, blonde hair framed a determined and focused face. She moved with the grace and precision of a fencer, her fencing sword glinting in the eerie light, a testament to her expertise.

2. Jake Anderson: Jake was a tall and burly guy with a rugged appearance. He had played club sports like rugby and had a stocky build to match. His dark, messy hair and perpetually scruffy beard gave him a somewhat disheveled look. Armed with a wooden club, he swung it with a raw, unrefined power that was surprisingly effective.

3. Sarah Chen: Sarah was a petite and agile student, known for her nimbleness even before the transformation. Her long, black hair was tied back in a practical ponytail, allowing her to move freely. She had a mop from the janitor's closet, an unconventional choice for a weapon, but she wielded it with surprising dexterity. Her quick thinking often helped blindside their enemies.

The trio had formed an effective team, and their actions spoke volumes about their adaptability and resourcefulness. As they joined forces with Ray and Selene's group, their collective strength increased, bolstering their chances of survival.

However, a critical moment soon unfolded. A lesser frog suddenly emerged from the shadows, its long, slimy tongue extending with deadly intent. It was aimed directly at Natalie, who was momentarily caught off guard.

Selene, with her keen perception, reacted swiftly. She knew it was her last chance to cast a fireball, and she unleashed it with precision. The blazing projectile streaked through the air, striking the lesser frog just in time. The creature screeched in pain as its tongue recoiled, narrowly missing Natalie.

Natalie, now aware of the peril they faced, offered her gratitude to Selene. "Thanks for that quick save. I owe you one."

Jake, the burly club-wielder, couldn't hide his amazement. "Wow, you can cast fire? That's something."

Selene, always modest, nodded and explained her newfound skill to them. She shared how it had manifested in this strange new world, how they found the chest with the two skill.

Ray, not one to be outdone, decided to show the group his unique ability. He summoned his bone claw, a deadly appendage that extended from his hand. With a quick motion, he scratched the nearby wall, causing pieces of stone to fall to the ground.

Natalie observed this display with intrigue. "Impressive. It seems I'm not the only one from the hundred here."

The others in the group exchanged puzzled glances, not fully understanding what Natalie meant. However, Ray recognized the significance of her words. He had received the "One from the Hundred" title and the associated stat bonuses, just like Natalie.

Jack's eyes widened with realization of something he forget. "Guys, I have a mini-van parked in the lot. If we can get there, we might have a chance to drive out of here."

Sarah looked concerned. "Will all of us fit in that mini-van?"

Jack replied, "Maybe, but it's our best shot. We need to reach it before things get even worse."
