End of The World? Time to Level Up!

Chapter 8



Sebastian didn't dream of anything when he slept; he only saw an empty void when suddenly he could hear multiple voices until they all shouted and with a gasp Sebastian woke up, his entire body drenched in sweat.

Sebastian: What the hell he said out of breath

He looked up and saw a figure standing in front of his tent door.

The shape was a giant shadow that was at least 230 cm tall and was very muscular with piercing red eyes that shined into the tent.

With a quick thought he grabbed his katana and lunged forward out the tent.

???: Hey, Hey! Don't kill me! said a panicked voice .

Sebastian looked down and when he thought he was going to attack the big shadow he saw that it was a small boy that appeared to be 13 years old.

The older teen didn't care much and frantically looked around for the large shadow.

???:First you try to kill me then you don't even help me up geez didn't you get raised with manors the kid angrily told the elder teen off.

Sebastian finally seeing that he couldn't spot the shadow again; he sighed and looked down at the kid.

He had a baggy grey hoodie t-shirt that had 3 white stripes going across from one shoulder to the hip. His hair color consisted of bright red hair

that complimented his pale white skin color and he had pinkish eyes.

On his hip sat a military grade knife, he had ankle high military boots and cargo shorts.

Sebastian: Hey Strawberry head why were you in front of my tent?

???: It isn't Strawberry head its Junak Fathach! and Tim told me to come fetch you, the mission is going to start now.

Sebastian just looked at the kid once more and walked back in his tent.

After about 5 minutes Sebastian came out wearing his usual clothes with his katana hanging on his hip and the throwing knives sitting snuggly on his thigh.

Junak: Hmmm nah you were probably still half asleep said the kid as he started to walk in a direction probably to Tim, Sebastian guessed.

After a 10 minute walk the duo arrived at the main gate where Sebastian saw a bunch of people wearing different clothes and brandishing different weapons.

In front of the gate stood Tim in a full body iron armour and under his arm was a helmet.

Tim: Everyone listen up! We are going out to help a SOS signal we received from a nearby base!

Random Guy: Why do we need to risk our lives for some random strangers?!?!?

Tim: It's to show that there is still kindness left in this world! It has been 4 weeks since this hell started and I really think that not all kindness has died out! You will all march with me

and help the base. MOVE OUT!

He finished, put on his helmet and turned to the gates that slowly creaked open. The hoard of people moved behind the man and slowly walked out the safe comfort they

have been experiencing for these past weeks.

Sebastian found himself with Junak in group D. Apparently Tim had split the people up into 4 groups because in that way the smaller groups would be able to get to the location faster.

May: Hey Sebastian it's been ages since i last saw you!

Sebastian looked behind him and saw it was May, his first friend in the apocalypse.

Sebastian: I can't help I've been busy with all the zombies while you chilled and all he chuckled.

May: Hey my team and I have been busy, we took out a mini boss and leveled up a lot she grinned.

Sebastian: Team?

???: Right, that's our cue I think. Said someone from behind the archer girl.

The person was a guy that was about 16 years old, he wore blue denim jeans with white sneakers and he had a blue tracksuit jacket on.

He had a high pony tail and his hair

color consisted of a hazelnut brown and he had blue eyes. In his hand was an iron spear.

Ray: Name's Ray Jones, it's a pleasure to meet you. Let me introduce the rest of team.

There was a total of 4 people including May, the first person after ray was a tall man that appeared to be 18 years old and had tan skin with short white hair, he wore a green

parka with baggy black pants and combat boots, he had gold colored eyes that shined slightly and on his back was a giant doubled headed axe.

Ray: The big fella over here is Lux Grain.

Lux: Sup

The last person in the group was a girl who was of medium height, looked to be 17 years old, had a black hoodie that was pulled up but you could see that her hair color was a violet purple and she had glowing orange eyes. She also wore a black denim that was ripped at the knees.

On her back was a big gun that looked like a sniper and on her hip was a glock pistol.

Ray: This scary little lady is Lavender Evergreen.

Lavender just looked up at Sebastian and nodded. He nodded back at her.

Random Guy: GHOULS UP AHEAD! WATCH OUT!

The team quickly looked ahead and saw a hoard of ghouls sprinting straight towards them.

May: Since when can they sprint at us???

She pulled out an arrow and loaded it in the bow.

The hoard came like a flood and in seconds arrived at the group. The people in front were lost in the wave and couldn't be seen anymore.

A storm of skills were released

and explosions occurred everywhere. A ghoul appeared in front of the team and lunged at May, it suddenly got a spear in its head killing it instantly.

May: Thanks!

Ray: No problem!

Sebastian had his sword out and killed any ghouls that came close instantly, when he looked over he saw Junak being very good with his knife, killing zombies easily as well.

Sebastian: Hey strawberry what level you at?

Junak: None of your business Oreo!

Sebastian: Oreo? Where the hell you get that from!

Junak: Your black and white hair!

Sebastian: Why you little...

May: Guys can you please stop arguing and help us!

Both of them looked over and saw that they were slowly being overrun.

Sebastian: Dammit he said as he took 3 throwing knives out and flung them towards the ghouls hitting them in the head, killing them instantly.

A sudden screech was heard and in the middle of the hoard was a ghoul they had not yet seen before. It was pale red with spikes protruding from its spine and it had one big eye that looked everywhere. It had thin arms and at the end of the arms where 3 bones sticking out.

The new ghoul suddenly lunged at a nearby human, stabbed him straight through the mouth and the spiked exited the back of his skull, killing him instantly.

The ghoul didn't eat the body but instead threw it to the side and grinned while it carried on lunging at people close by killing them just for fun.

Ray: What the hell is…

He couldn't finish his sentence as a sudden crunching and cracking noise was heard as he was punched away in a nearby building. Everyone quickly looked behind them and saw a massive ghoul that looked like a professional body builder.

It had blood red skin and was bald, its eyes were closed and its purple veins were throbbing.

It looked down at every one and suddenly sent them a big unnatural grin showing its blood stained teeth.
