The Young man (soon to be old) runs out the door, it's still totally dark. He is about to start to run towards the stair that leads to the road. but
notices he doesn't have any shoes on. He turns back and sits in the doorway while fumbling to get his old worn out mountain hike boots on, he
fumbles a bit with the laces and growls out loud, that's when he notices that there are no sound around. no cars from the highway that separates
his house from his sister, no sound from birds or even that constant buzzing that's always been in the electric circuit case.
He looks around, finally managing to get the laces done right. he starts walking towards the stairs, leading towards the roads.
Its total darkness around his house, neglecting to do any upkeep the last 5 years, all the outdoor lights. that were supposed to be on, had
gone out a long time ago. he looks to his right in the dark he can make out the contours of the broken and rotted down outdoor
summerhouse, he sweeps his eyes upwards, the house is located at the bottom of cliff. looking to his right to the cement path that leads to the
stairs down to the street, he starts running.
Halfway down the stairs he hear some growling. he stops and starts crouching and creeping closer to the wall. He can see two aproximately 1 meter 10 centimeters
beeings walking 20 meters ahead of him. enshrouded in darkness he cant see what they really look like.
they seem to be talking, but all the man hears are grumbling.
suddenly impacting his vision is a new blue screen, he quickly hiss "go away". the blue screen fades away, but something worse looks his way.
Holding his breath, he looks at the two creatures coming his way. all he can see is the 2 creatures coming his wat.
he grasps the dagger his laptop had earned him. waiting…
as they come closer the more the man gets anxious. he has never killed anything, never hurt anyone, physically.. he's a pacifist. at most..
he's a coward, never been in a fight and certainly never killed anything..
The two shadows walks closer, the man remembers all the lessons from the internet novels he's read. and it comes down to one thing:
kill or be killed, weakness is your death.
as they come closer he makes up his mind..
the first shadow takes a step on the stairs, the man lashes out all he can with dagger,catching him in the neck, as red numbers magically
starts rising over the little shadows head he continues the slash towards the second shadow. The second shadow blocks with his arm.
the dagger suddenly met resistance striking the arm and continues onward as he meets the arm bone of the creature.
never been in a fight or a life or death situation the man almost lets go of the dagger.
at the last second he manage to strengthen his grip
and drag the dagger out. taking a few steps back up the stairs he noticed the red numbers over their head.. the first shadow he striked
had dropped to the ground, the other looked at its arm then upwards towards the man, raising its arm. about to strike the man.the man panics and scrambles backwards, as the creature was about to strike a red number above its head apear, and instantly the creature crumbles to the floor.

noticing that both died after the number 15, he starts to run . through the driveway unto the

main road, he looks right and left, down the main road,
he can't see to far as the roads bend around 400 meters on both sides. noticing many
small "shadows",he takes a big breath. then he looks straight ahead at his sister's house.
taking a second to collect himself he runs towards the fence, placing a hand
on top of the fence and starts to jump over. as its been more than a decade since he's done that kinda maneuver he over balance and facepalms right onto the grass at the
other side. shaken , he stands up, shakes his head to get over his disorientation and with unsure steps he goes through the big garden, and goes to the front door. situated away from the main road, he opens the front door, which is never locked.
he hears screaming.
he runs up the stairs on the left from the open front door, towards the screaming and opens the door to his sister's bedroom,
seeing a blue approx 1 meter 10 centimeter
creature with a club about to hit his sister, he takes wild swings towards it. Reverting to his pacifist "do not hurt other" side he just swings wildly. The blue creature turns around and the man gets a good look at it. he stops swinging and just stare.
it hasn't really sunk in on him yet what he's facing.
a small dwarf like creature , that holds a club, sinewy muscles and a small potbelly, the face of the creature got large egg shaped eyes and protruding fangs from its lower lip.
a crooked nose and multiple scars at it’s cheeks.
the creature is a bit hunched over. resembling a monkey without fur. startled out of his stupor by the noise coming from his sister, the man
slashes towards the little blue thing.
instead of blocking with the club the little blue creature holds up his free hand.. the dagger barely nicks the creatures left hand.
over the little blue creature, a red number appears.. they look at eachother, for what the man feels is ages.. then a number appears,
another second another appears.
and the little blue creature crumples..
+killed a lvl 1 grumbling +5xp
not taking any chances the man stabs it in the head.
taking a few breaths.. he looks towards the bed and sees a horrifying scene.
his little sister had been hit with the club repeatedly
as her whole left leg beneath the knee is basicly just mush, blood was splattered around the room and he could see
bits of white and in the large mass of broken flesh that used to be the her leg.
the sister kept on screaming.
panicking the man doesn't know what to do.
he tries get any real contact from her, but she keeps screaming. as he's trying to avoid to look at the messy sight on the bed.
he looks around the room for anything that might be useful for first aid, he looks down and notices a red glint.
its hanging on the belt of the little blue shit (as the man had started to think of it) that tried to kill his sister.
he bends down, taking the red vial.
the blue shit suddenly starts to get sucked in, like imploding. the man takes a step back and crouches, closing his eyes, thinking it's like a
corpse explosion or a trap of some kind, normal in the many stories he's read online.
when a couple seconds goes by he opens his eyes. there's golden particles floating before his eyes, the corpse of the blue creature had
disappeared. Startled to his senses he notices his sister wailing again..
he jumps on the bed and hold her head steady while forcing her to drink. effectively it stops the screaming . bUt his sister has problems breathing. not stopping he forces the drink down her throat, screaming for her to drink. when the whole vial of the red stuff is gone , he relaxes a bit . his sister has stopped screaming. Panicking he thinks her sisters dead, a second later she takes a big breath..relieved the man takes a big breath and releases it , noticing from the corner of his eyes golden particles, thinking it's another creep spawning he readies his dagger and looks towards the
direction of the golden light.
he sees his sister leg.
it's gone from mauled to perfectly healed.
laying next to her on the bed and hearing her exhausted breath he can't not feel sorry for what he's about to do..
He drags her out of bed, tells her to get dressed and leaves the room.
the man decides to see too his nieces he takes a big breath.
first opening the door to the youngest niece bedroom , a little 2 year old girl, snoring like a grown man.. he exhales then he closes the
door gently.
the third room on the top floor of his sister house contains the bedroom of his second niece, a 8 year old girl . he opens her door and
looks into her room and sees she's wide awake. scared hiding under her sheets and pillows.
taking a big breath(once again). then one more. worrying what to say when the little one peeps "is mommy good" and the man answers "yeah, but she might need your help
as a matter of fact i need your help.
"with what?"
the man lets out a sigh walks into the little girls bedroom and sits down on her bed. sighing he says "go to your little sister's bedroom and
stay there for the night please" waiting a couple seconds the girl doesn't move, growling he says
"go now before i get angry" he says in a grumbling voice.
The girl lets out a nervous chuckle, used to her uncle's growling and grumbling. she holds her hand out meaning for the man to take it.
he grumbles again and says "you're old enough to walk on your own, now get up." he lifts the girl of the bed and gently push her towards the
door to get her to walk. The girl is still scared and looks back at her uncle, seeing him pick up her blankets and some of her favourite
plush animals... at the other room the 2 year old is still snoring, motioning for the older sister to get in the bed,
he dumps all the stuff on her head and tells her to try to sleep some more.
he goes out of the room releasing a quiet sigh, he closes the door behind him.
