Huh? Does that say I... I have a superpower? What does "Revive" mean? *Ding*
Revive
Revive is the power to resurrect after death.
Note: You will also feel the pain from your death, or all of them if you die more than one. when you come back. You come back in a random area within 10 miles of where you died.
That's handy I guess. Just then I remember that I was being chased. I say "Hey Jack, mind letting me go, pal?" He stammers out," What... What is this?" I laugh "Haha believe me now, big guy?" He starts shaking. "No.. No.. NONONONONONONONO, oh please don't let this be happening." Is he for real? "You okay there big guy? Fucking snap out of it!" I get frustrated and yell at him. It's not like me to curse. "Huh? Oh yeah, come with me, James." He starts pulling me back towards the classroom. "Are you really going to take me back to class, when it's apparent that the apocalypse just started?" I ask with trepidation. "I have no idea what-" BOOM. A loud explosion is heard.I look up and see that part of the building is missing, and standing in the rubble is a big hulking 8-foot tall green monster with tusks coming out of the sides of its mouth. "WHERE IS HE." a loud voice yells. "THERE YOU ARE." it says as it sees me. it looks surprisingly like the Orcs of all the stories and games. Another blue screen appears.
Name: Orc
Level: ???
HP: ???
Mana: ???
Stamina: ???
Status: Enraged from Hatred
I guess that means it is an Orc. I wonder why it hates me. It charges at me with what appears to be some kind of battleaxe, but the battleaxe has some kind of blue tint on the edge. It almost looks like its shimmering magically. "DIE HUMAN!" it roars. Just then Jack steps in front of me. "Heh, I got this Yancy, stay behind me." he says cockily. The Orc charges at him, swinging the axe right at Jack's face. Jack's power isn't just super strength, it's more like augmenting his body to a certain degree, but with a higher affinity for his muscles. He can harden his skin to the point where it can stop most pistol bullets from hurting him. "You got this Jac-." SWOSH The Orc chops right through his arms and his head spraying a fountain of blood everywhere. "Oh fuck, Jack!" I shriek. "APES NEED TO STAY OUT OF MY WAY," it says. "YOU'RE NEXT HUMAN." I turn around to run. I get two steps before I feel a searing pain in my chest. I look down and see an axe blade sticking out of my chest. I cough up some blood.

Huh, so it was a magical weapon after all.
Darkness. All I know is darkness. Darkness is my oldest and dearest friend. Darkness is my most hated enemy. Excruciating pain in my chest. "Aah!" I shout. it was only for a moment, but I can still feel the axe in my chest. Oh, that's probably because of my power, revive. From what I briefly saw, it said everytime I come back, I'd feel the pain again.
You died!
But don't fret, you have a one-of-a-kind power!
You get to come back from the dead!

What does this mean? Why didn't it tell me I was going to lose XP and Levels? Why did it change to such low XP loss and no Level loss? Where am I? I look around and find myself in an empty cornfield. There are no buildings around. There is some movement in farther away, towards the center of the field. "I wonder what that is." I mutter. "Should I make my way towards it? It might be other humans. It might also be monsters." "I'm not going to risk it." I say. Just then the movement stops. All of a sudden it starts up again, but much faster. It is also coming my way. "Oh shit!" I yelp. I turn around and start running in the opposite direction, right as an arrow flies past me and thunks into the ground. This only makes me run faster and in a zig-zag pattern. I hear strange voices behind me talking in a language I don't know. It doesn't sound like any human language I know of.
2 Hours Later.
I've been running for hours. I can't breathe. They aren't giving up. I'm going to have to fight. I think I got far enough ahead of them to catch my breath though. Hopefully, these things are a lot weaker than that Orc from the school.
10 Minutes Later.
I can hear their strange language again. Whilst resting I was able to find a sturdy looking stick, and to my surprise, an Information Panel popped up. An Information Panel or IP as I have started calling them, are the blue boxes that pop up and tell me useful information.
Name: Sturdy Looking Stick
A very capable looking stick.
Damage: 5-8
Durability: 17/20
+3 Strength
+1 Dexterity
Why does a stick give a dexterity stat bonus? I guess it doesn't matter. Any help is good help I guess. I lie in wait behind a tree. They are getting closer. I can smell them. They smell rancid. One of them is walking past my hiding spot. Even before an IP can pop up, I charge at it. It is a small green man looking creature. Goblins pops up in my mind. I hit the goblin on its head.
