„Well then, let’s get going now.”
Lucas and Max left the office and started to go to the stairs.
“What do you think caused this change in the world?”
“I’m not sure, but there sure are people that will try to benefit from the chaos caused by it.”
When they went to the next floor, they saw all of their company workers murdered.
"This must be the job of that big lizard that we killed."
"Hmm. Their bodies are still warm, so it's most likely that they were killed by it, but we shouldn't let our guard down. There might be another monster lurking somewhere on lower floors."
Lucas and Max started to look around on every floor. They took some supplies needed and went into the 3rd floor after searching other floors.
"There should be the map of the building, right?" said Lucas to Max.
"Yeah, We should look for it and see where the weaponry is."
Both of them started to search for it. After few minutes Lucas found the map. They deciphered the map and looked at it.
"Looks like the secret weaponry is on the 2nd floor of the basement."
"We should go there quickly and get weapons for us."
Lucas and Max went to the elevator and selected 2nd floor of the basement.
"I wonder what weapon would be the best for those monsters..."
"Well i already know what i'll choose, because I just like it the most when fighting unknown enemies."
"Hmm? What is it?"
"I'll use a spear, it has long range, so i can keep the distance between me and the enemy i'm facing."
"Ehh?... I thinked you would pick a sword because it's your masters favourite."
"Well Max, you should pick a bow then so we can have long ranged attacks and mid ranged ones."
"What you say makes quite a lot of sense."
Both of them stepped out of the elevator and went to the left side.
"Wait. I feel something weird." said Lucas.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"There's someone here that isn't human around the corner."
"How did you guess that?"
"Do you see what's on my leg?"
Lucas pointed at his leg. There was medium sized cobweb that melted his clothes off.
"What the- How did it melt your clothes?"
"I don't know, but if it's something that can do that then we should run if that monster is too strong."
Lucas peeked around the corner. He saw a 4 meter wide spider that was chewing on a human head of one of the workers.
'Damn it. It's blocking the way, we can't go there.'
The spider looked at the direction of his head and started running to them.
"Shit! Run! It started running to us!"
Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.
"Damn it quickly open!"
Both of them quickly jumped into the elevator and closed the door.
"It shouldn't chase us anymore."
"Yeah, but i think we should come back there later with a plan."
"For now we should focus on getting out of the building."
"Sure, then let's head to the main door."
...
As they went down to the doors, Lucas saw 4 people fighting 2 huge pigeons. One of them who had a leather jacket on him was firing a gun to them but it didn’t even do anything to it.
“What the hell is that stupid bird made of?!” screamed the man in a leather jacket.
“Most likely only attacks that are on the skill list can damage those new mutated things.” said Max after looking at the scene.
Everybody in that group looked at Max and Lucas with surprised expressions.
“Wait! I saw them on the InfoWeb many times! It’s Maximilian and Lucas Glassheart! They are one of the powerful ancient families, thank god we are saved!” said a woman that was behind the man in the leather jacket.
“Well you shouldn’t be thanking god, but us instead.”
“Lucas, you shouldn’t be that harsh to others okay?”
“Whatever let’s take care of this stupid birds before they attack anybody else.”
Lucas went to the pigeon on the right and Max went to the one on the left. Lucas jumped on the back of the pigeon and twisted it’s neck, but the bird was somehow still alive and well.
“What the hell-” said Lucas, but was stopped before doing anything else.
The bird started to rush into buildings and tackle them with his head. Lucas tried to stay on the pigeon, but after seeing it run into the nearby building he immediately jumped off.
As the pigeon tackled the building Lucas looked at his surroundings.
‘There are glass shards everywhere, so I might as well use them.’

Lucas formed a glass spear from the shattered glass and straight into the birds eyes.
Kaarg-
The pigeon let out a scream and fell onto the rubble from the destroyed building.
"Hey, Max! Are you already done?"
"No, can you throw few pieces of glass to me?"
"Sure, try to pierce his brain it should and it should be done."
Max caught the piece of glass Lucas thrown and made a dagger. Max stabbed the eye of the pigeon.
Kruagh!-
Another big pigeon fell onto the ground. The group of 4 that was attacked by them was amazed by how quickly they killed the 2 pigeons.
"Well I think you should introduce yourself to us?" said Lucas.
"O-oh right. I'm Daniel." said the man in the leather jacked. "The woman behind me is my wife, her name is Emma."
"And the other two?"
"Well we don't know them."
"My name is Mia and next to me is my friend from college, her name is Olivia."
"I see, nice to meet you all, but how did you end up here? This place is off-limits to outsiders."
"We were actually on the main street, but we are trying to hide from that thing there."
"What thing? Did a rift from a different dimension open?"
"Yes, there were some weird monsters coming out from there, they looked like bigger dogs colored dark red. There's a lot of corpses of dead people there because they eat humans. We barely managed to get here without them noticing us."
"They are most likely dusky red hounds." said Lucas.
"Yeah it's most likely because there aren't any monsters that are similiar to them on any of the other planets."
'If it's dusky red hounds we should hurry up, they can find us by the smell of humans.' thinked Lucas.
"Well we should hurry up Max, they can come here any time"
