My name is Colonel Bishop Wells in the Special Forces; born and raised in Tekonsha, Michigan you could say I was just your normal loner in high school however after I graduated I joined the marines. I unlike most people having to do basic training I got to skip that thanks to learning all of it three years prior I even took down the drill instructor, after that I became a lone wolf kind of well that’s actually what I was nicknamed as by my superiors. As time went by I rose the ranks until I became a Colonel which I became when I turned twenty five, most people thought I paid someone for my position while others just straight up hated me because of my position but I didn’t care.
Out of all of my missions and training no one really got why I was so good one day I would be horrible at something such as field dressing then the next I was an expert at it. To put it simply is that my enter life is a game; the system showed up around my junior year which turned my life around, I became excellent in my studies and sports not to mention being popular with the ladies. Now with all my experience in the military I got some pretty intense stat’s; two months ago though I sent in my retirement form, if I was a regular soldier it would only take two weeks but thanks to my position I had to wait a little longer.
In truth I really did retire at the right time seeing how the military is now handling the large amount of forestation that has been increasing around the world and even the sudden aggression from house pets. Sorry I didn’t sign up to hunt dogs and cat’s around the neighborhood in truth I just did it to get more useful skills, I was even allowed to buy my gear back well actually I had leave my explosives behind but still I got most of my gear back. I was sitting in the back of the buss driving to the nearest hotel going over my status screen seeing any final changes I needed to see.

If people could see my stat’s they would plane up just run away from me; a normal person has physical abilities around 1-10 depending on how active he or she is, while their supernatural stats such as luck, charm, and spirit should be around 0-5. My stats are so high because of my training and leveling up four times, each level gives me around fifteen AP (Attribute Points) and about ten SP (Skill Points) I have found out though that certain skills may change such as my weapons mastery it’s from leveling up several fighting skills to the max while my academic skill was from the topics I learned from school and military training I received.
As for the extra skills such as item drop and auto-loot well those skills are from leveling; each time I level I gain a extra skill that is impossible for everyday earth, well actually they are more like functions to the system that I need to unlock. The problem I have at the moment is that I can’t level up which resulted in my retiring, the bus stopped bring me out of my thoughts as I climbed off the bus. As I approached the motel I could see several full grown men partying in the parking lot with several other females I couldn’t help but think that this was what most were fighting for bunch of idiot drunks that would shit themselves at any real sign of trouble. As I walked towards the room that was rented for me I bumped into a young girl probably still in high school carrying some beers towards the men.
“Excuse me sir.” (High schooler)
The High Schooler ran to the group behind me distributing the beers to them then silently went to the room next to mine. Well least one of them is smart; I went to my room only to find it was even smaller than my room back at base, there was a desk and bed with a night stand next to it and nothing else not even a bathroom! I couldn’t help but feel annoyed at this but well I can’t just go around demanding things just because I’m stronger than normal people. I decided to do my normal work out before I went to bed; as the hours past outside slowly grew quieter as the sun retreated from the sky, I laid on my bed trying to fall asleep only to be startled by something hitting my window. In my surprise I grabbed my gun under the pillow and walked towards the sound, outside my window was a sparrow with a broken neck the glass looked like it was only scratched by it but still I wonder if it was just lost in the night?
Throughout the night more sparrows hit my window and didn’t stop until morning; when I got up I counted about fifteen sparrows at my window which was now broken, the last sparrow plunged its head straight through the glass only to suffocate from being stuck.

[Dead Mutant Sparrow
Rank: One
Description: this small creature is probably one of the few birds that has felt the change, these creatures will target any human or prey they see, hunt in packs but only come out at night, beaks are twice as hard as regular sparrows]
Damn it’s here too, I should go to the store and get some supplies maybe I can find something of use, as I was thinking that I heard chirping from the other side of the wall followed by pecking. Damn they got into the room next door; I know that they didn’t enter from hitting the glass so they either came from the window or door, as I went over the details I heard the guys from yesterday.
“Hey Brady you going to get up sometime today?” (???)
“Ya your going to miss graduation!” (???)
“Frank, Billy let him sleep he had a hard time last night!” (Female Voice)
“Shut it Whore!” (Billy)
“Ya we only let you come because Brady thought you had a nice ass, you can go home now that he tapped it.” (Frank)
At this point I walked out to see the girl from last night almost on the verge of crying while the two drunks opened the door beside mine, when they looked inside they played exorcist almost immediately. The sparrows in the room grew restless at the sight of new food; I pulled the girl into my room so she didn’t get hurt but I couldn’t say the same for the other two, Frank got several sparrows throw the chest killing him after a couple of seconds while Billy had his eyes pecked out but luckily I saved him in time. The sparrows tried to get through the door but to no luck however they did dent the metal door a few times, the girl was already dialing 911 but I could see that she couldn’t stop shaking; I got into my bag and got some gauze and tape, I cleaned the wound followed by wrapping the gauze around his head to stop the bleeding once that was done I taped it in place. About half an hour later the ambulance showed up taking Billy away while the cops took my statement then left leaving me with the terrified girl.
“T-thank you for saving me!” (Girl)
“Don’t worry about it if you want I can take you into town I have to go there anyways so it won’t be a problem.” (Me)
“Y-yes please!” (Girl)
“Alright calm down while I go get ready.” (Me)
The girl nodded as I went and grabbed my gear from the cabinet; mostly it was a hoody that hid a gun holster and my knife, I thought about leaving everything else here since I wasn’t going into some battle it was just shopping. After putting everything in order I walked out with the girl close behind me, now that I get a good look at her she is quite a beauty; jet black hair that went down to her shoulder blades, hazel eyes, and her perfect hour glass body outline perfectly by her uniform. We finally made it to town after a hour of walking but the girl still didn’t leave my side, finally when we got into the mall I gave her a list of supplies I needed along with the money to go with it. Once she was gone I went into different aisles putting items in my inventory as I saw them, the best part of my inventory is that I could put things in without touching them only down side is that I had to be at least three meters from it.
As I went along the different aisles collecting almost everything I saw but I didn’t forget to get coffee lots and lots of coffee plus luxury items such as seasons and shampoo, don’t forget toilet paper. I spent hours shopping until I came upon the girl with a cart full of goods a little extra than I asked for but I didn’t ask any questions. The last stop I made was the hunting supplies which I looted the best I could, every time I passed something of note I would store it in my inventory of course I made sure no one say. When we got to the clerk I could see several weapons that were displayed even a M-16 Rifle, the clerk saw my gaze and gave me a toothy smirk as he knew what I wanted.
“Sir if you want I can ring it up for you it only costs $200, it also comes with several boxes of ammo for half price.” (Clerk)
“I’ll take it and about twenty five boxes of those .22 Winchester magnum Rimfire .” (Me)
“Oh that must be a beautiful piece I wish I could have one.” (Clerk)
“Ya it defiantly severed me well in my days in the field, if you want you can see it.” (Me)
“You mean you have it with you?!” (Clerk)
“Ya but it’s for the damn creatures outside they have been acting crazy just before we came here some guy’s got attacked by some sparrows worst of all they were changed, some went straight through the poor boy without stopping.” (Me)
“Dear lord what the hell is happening?” (Clerk)
“Well enough about the depressing stuff do you want to see my baby?” (Me)
I pulled out my PMR from its holster and gave it to the clerk; he sized it up checking the barrel along with its cylinder making sure it’s been properly maintained, the girl behind me felt nervous around the gun but didn’t say anything as she waited patiently. After the clerk was done he grabbed the M4 from the case and grabbed the boxes of bullets, before charged me though he asked for my credentials which I handed over without a problem. Once done he handed the supplies to me and I went to check out the rest of the supplies in the process I grabbed some more stuff that I fancied, I paid the clerk and left the store followed by the girl with bags in her hands.
“You know you don’t have to follow me, I can just drop you off somewhere.” (Me)
“I’m staying in the room next to you so it’s okay I just wanted to get away from there.” (Girl)
“Oh.. Hey um what’s your name?” (Me)
“It’s Mai Lee, what’s yours?” (Mai)
“Bishop.” (Me)
“Well Bishop thank you for taking me out today and buying me a few items even though I didn’t ask.” (Mai)
“It’s okay besides it wasn’t that much but anyway tomorrow should be better just don’t open your windows at night and you’ll be fine.” (Me)
“Ya… Hey that’s weird when we left earlier the grass was cut but now it looks like it will be to our knees before long.” (Mei)
I stopped and turned to see that she was right the entire yard was filled with over grown grass and the tree beside the house looked larger, things are getting worse if it changed this fast it won’t be long before it’s a jungle out here. I grabbed the girls hand and pulled her as I sped up, the surrounding people that saw the grass stopped to look at it but I didn’t as I hurried to arrive at the apartments. Once I was there I forced Mai into the room ignoring the door as I turned on the news which should have just started.
“Today’s reports of animal attacks has escalated to a extreme along with claims of rapid plant growth the government urges that it’s alright and that it will be solved soon, in other reports a rise in temperature over the weekend…” (News)
So that’s their claim instead of warning people, got to love bureaucrats never know when to bite the bullet and tell the truth instead of covering their own ass’s. I turned off the TV then shut the door locking it followed by closing the curtains to avoid being seen by anything tonight, once that was done I went around the kitchen putting food away this was being witnessed by Mai as she just stood there watching me.
“Bishop is everything alright?” (Mai)
“No not really.” (Me)
“Why?” (Mai)
“take your pick from problems we got plenty; animals not fearing humans, plants growing at a rapid pace, temperature rising abnormally, or the best part the government covering all this up by saying it will be resolved quickly.” (Me)
“It’s not that…Bang!!!” (Mai)
Mai was interrupted as a loud bang came from outside, we ran outside only to see flames in the distance as dogs ran wild. Most of the dogs avoided people because of the lingering effects of fearing humans but other than that they just ran around without a care in the world while people dodged them crashing into buildings and other things, on the other side of us was the former gas station which now was a ocean of flames and in the center was a crisp car.
“So it’s finally beginning.” (Me)
