John Smith

“Fuck my head hurts!”, muttered John as he slowly rolled out of bed to stand on the floor. As his vision started to lose the haze of sleep, an unfamiliar scene came into view, instead of his dirty, messy apartment and posters covering blue walls he was greeted to the sight of a tidy, small room with far too much pink for his taste. “Where the hell am I?” Wondered John as he stumbled towards what he hoped was a bathroom, he wasn’t sure if he was going to hurl or not but it was better to be safe than sorry he thought as he opened the door to the bathroom. As John was taking care of business he tried to replay the previous night’s events in his head but was unable to come up with anything other than a vague sense of being both angry and very satisfied at the same time. Finishing up, he want to wash his hands in the nearby sink and take a much needed drink of water. Upon satisfying his thirst and washing his face in the sink he took the time to gaze at the man staring at him in the mirror, a tall, imposing figure stood with broad shoulders at just over six foot four inches with dark hair reaching past his shoulders and deep, ocean blue eyes that shine with intelligence looked back at him through the mirror, combined with the fact that he with the  two hundred and sixty pounds of muscle it made him look very intimidating to most people.

Chuckling to himself as he noted the swollen knuckles on his hands, the tender spot on the back of his head and the bruises that covered his chest and ribs, he thought it must have been even more of a wild night than I thought. Still at a loss as to where he was though he decided to investigate, but the smell of perfume and the decorative towels covering the walls of the bathroom made for easy detective work as he walked back into the room he had woken up in. Laying down with her back to him was a woman with long, golden hair that seemed to shine. John stood there admiring the sight of her exposed rear and womanhood as the blanket that had covered her fell off as John woke up earlier. An internal struggle took place inside his somewhat perverted mind as to whether or not he should stay for a second round or leave before things got awkward, eventually he remembered he was supposed to be meeting his cousin for lunch today and decide to let what remained of the gentleman in him win for now. Unfortunately for John however; as he was reaching the front door to leave, he was interrupted by a ding and a screen popping up in his face.

“What the actual fuck!” screamed John he read novels on this type of thing happening, but there was no way that this was real! At least that was what he thought until he saw three different colored bars in the upper corner of his vision. “Okay, again what the fuck is going on? Either i’m batshit crazy or this actually happening. In either case there is nothing to lose by accepting this as reality.” John muttered to himself as he tried to come to terms with the current situation.

As he was thinking this he heard that growl coming from behind him. The growling was becoming louder as he turned around only to be greeted with the sight of an abomination of a woman combined with what appeared to be some type of toad. Her skin had turned a sickly green color, while the sclera had turned a deep red, and her complexion had become disfigured with warts and blemishes. “Fuck fuck fucking shit what the fuck! Someone please tell me she didn’t look like

this last night” John yelled as he started to step backwards. As he stared at the creature John noticed words appearing above its head, LVL 1: Swamp Goblin Stacey,” Huh what the hell was I worried for, aren’t goblins just trash and mobs?” he wondered aloud. This seemed to anger the creature as it lunged towards him with undisguised rage and bloodlust. John dove away from the monster and ran towards the kitchen as it crashed into the wall, he quickly grabbed the largest knife he could find and stood firmly facing the creature. It seems like years of sports and martial arts weren’t going to go to waste any time soon he thought as the swamp goblin lumbered towards him. Once his enemy lunged towards him John ducked underneath its outstretched arms and step around to face the monsters back. As soon as he saw such an open target, John knew it was time to attack has he jumped towards the goblin and began to stab it in the back as many times as possible before it turned around. With a final stab John pushed the screaming monster down to the floor where he ended its life with a violent stab through the skull. As soon as the monster died a number of popups filled his vision, so much so that he was temporarily blinded. “Well i guess i’m not crazy after all” John said with a smirk he but was surprised at how easy it was to take the monsters life, he hunted quite often but the fact the monster had until recently been a girl should have made him upset at least a small amount, but he found no feelings about it other than accomplishments  but he found his answer soon after.

John smiled as he looked at his status, he figured that 10 must have been the human average as he add all three of his points into strength. Seeing as how he considered himself slightly slow physically this would be the base line he would use in the future. After giving it some thought, he decided to search around the apartment for anything else he could use before clearing the apartment complex of monsters to search for both survivors and possible experience and then returning to his home. Starting in the kitchen he piled up several knives along with a few boxes of matches after noticing that neither the electricity or the gas worked. After a half hour more of searching the only thing of note that he had found was an aluminium softball bath that fit surprisingly well into his large hands. Finally ready to go, he smiled as he approached the door because it was time to grind some levels.
