"System, Info on classes, please." I said it louder this time, my voce almost cracking. The thick clouds rolled together, now darker and the light rain became a torrent. Strong winds blew the leaves off the trees, kicking up debris along the ground. It didn't take long for my fingers to chill.
The animals were wiggling through the hole now. A minute or two at most. Rob moved to my side. "Avery get behind us." Colder than it was before, my breaths puffed as vapor.
I cut off his retourt before he even made it my don't mess with me look. You're not dying little brother.
He glared, but went behind.

A extremely large bunny with red eyes ran across the clearing.
"There no time to check out the other one I'm going to accept it!"
Rob shook his head. "Don't I think you'll like it. We'll keep them away. Somehow." He crouched low; fists ready, he arched his shoulders against the wind as it picked up speed.
He wasn't going to do super well, he isn't the strongest guy.
"Sis? The system isn't quite right yet. But um, it sounds alright." He shifted his weight shuffling in the grasses.
I swear it looked like a fighter jet now with it's front paws almost touching together and it's head so long and thin, those claws didn't look so little anymore. Taking my chances right now, if it goes wrong we all bite it?
It turned to static, a bunch of rabbit shaped wavy lines, sparks surround it. Kicking up in tempo, the wind blew the rain sideways; within it a faint rabbit shaped outline. A static charge shocks my face and the back of my neck, much like thousands of needles running along my face, neck and ears.
A high keen, worked its way up my throat, I couldn't turn away in time. This thing is fast. I had never, wanted so bad to have some kind of power, any power more than now.
ROSEY got injured by 4
A crunch with a grinding pinching sensation. Next thing I knew it's fucking teeth bit into my shoulder! Screaming, I gripped an ear and thumped on it's head. Blood so much blood! A red river poured down my arm dripping of the elbow. "Kill it! Kill it!"
LARGE WHITE RABBIT got injured by 1.
The system message moved westward by a few feet, and turned dark, flickered green before changing back again.

ROB's assault!
Rob snatched it off by the scruff it's neck flung it away, it rolled end over end and smacked into the bus, splashed into a puddle near a tire without moving
LARGE WHITE RABBIT got injured by 2.
"These are new... I don't like this."
"Thks." I cupped the bite, while bloody it wasn't that bad. I glared at the message. "At least it's not glitching again."
He frowned, "It's way more active now... you need to stop the bleeding or, you'll go into shock."
Avery came over, and pointed at the ground. "Sit. You're done fighting! Stop worrying about me and take care of you! Idiot."
Over by the rabbit, that'd started to sit up again another system screen popped up.

It woke up, shook it's head, sucked the blood off a paw then turned my way with a less than friendly light in it's eyes. It jumped up and bopped the Y on the screen.
"No way, no way this is happening. the system hates us! Why is everything trying to kill us!" I might have shrieked just a little. that rabbit, they never should look that way, ever. Cute fluffy, soft. Chomper of carrots. A nice animal. With really sharp teeth.
Holding myself, I called up the system again. "Show me the other class, hurry."

So tired, it's hard to sit up anymore. the blood still came out in streams. The classes looked boring. Monster? what if I end up hurting everyone, not that one.
My brother helped me up. Sometimes he knew what I wanted before I even had to ask. "I don't know," the words tumbled out as a mumble.
Thief could be fun, maybe it'll become something better later?" He brought me closer to the screen.
Ron went on the other side if it. Keeping watch I guess. "I think you should choose hero, it might have high defence."
My knees gave out, and Avery had to readjust both of our footing. "Ugg. Well, it's sucks less than the squishy priest or a mage. Blea." Fine. Fine. So boring! "System, Hero acceptance option." School was good for something at least, they taught us all the current system and the past ones. I'm glad I read that boring ass history of the system upgrades. We all did.
System is happy you choose life over becoming human stew.
Do you accept HERO class?

I punched the Y, and slumped over on my side the sudden weight change caused bro to slip on the wet gas losing his balance. My jaw did an imitation of a superball on the hard ground bouncing my jaw against the freezing, wetness. A thick musty odor blanked my nose. Ugg mud and more. So very glamorous. I stayed there for a moment as well, honestly the arm hurt like a bitch kicked sideways. Moving? No thanks.
Avery shouted something then Ron. they didn't' sound angry or scared. Hope it's something good this time.
"Our stat screens are here!." some shuffling but not much.
"The same junk as before. I'll pick this one, and you?"
"Hurry it up, she's going to bleed out!"
A slight slap on something. "Done."
"Me, too."
Soon, a quietness worked it's way outward, sounds muted, even the relentless pounding and clawing sounds finally stopped. A warmth rushed over my skin, then the weight of my clothing vanished, an unseen force lifted me to a standing position. A gitty energy filled within, the bleeding stopped. On touching my arm a long tunic sleeve appeared as did the rest of the garment. After, a weight came to my hand, in it a long metal oversized spiked hairbrush. Wait? What? then a shield settled on my left, it touched it. Plastic? Huh? One after another: Soft squishy headphones around my neck, a super short fabric thing around my shoulders, straw sandals replaced my favorite sneakers. "This has to be a sick joke!"
A deep voice groubled "The system hates us."
Just like a stupid cartoon my jaw dropped.
A squat horned platypus the size of a mini fridge sad on the grass. "It looks great." I snickered, maybie snorted too.
Rob drowned inside a huge blue lined robe with sparkly gold flecked edging, a bright red baseball cap, and a sawed off shotgun. "Our system is the devil. Capital D."
Or a dad's sense of humor. What one it was I didn't know.
Over by the bus, a thumping and a squeaky screech.

Of course the rabbit chose yes. We chose to head the other way, in all out sprint. Choices are good, they could keep you breathing.
