> Survival > by GamePlayer64 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Survival Dull's Story > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- (“Friendship is Magic… Why does everyone believe that shit. I don’t understand why no one sees its flaws.”) Thought a 30-year-old man wearing a suit and holding a briefcase, dull purple skin, black hair, and crimson eyes leaving a building looking depressed as he was walking to his car. *SIGH* He looked to see an old billboard showing the Rainbooms on it. “60 years and it’s still there.” He said as he got in his car, started it, and drove away. As he was driving, the man was remembering his youth. (“My name is Dull; well, I should say my (new) name is Dull. I’m a miserable excuse of a human being to The Magic of Friendship shit because I refuse to accept it. It’s been about 60 years since nearly everyone on the planet believes Friendship is Magic by the Rainbooms, a musical band that has magic from a parallel dimension. No offense to those fans who believe in that magic and its perfect with no flaws, but I viewed it as it has a flaw. Why do I have something against it, well…? I’m Twilight Sparkle’s Grandson by blood. Well… I’m no longer her grandson after my family except her disowned me at the age of 15. I was the outcast of the family for questioning against their believe, my parents complained that I should never question friendship and whip me with their belts or rulers for talking bad about friendship.”) FLASHBACK, 15 YEARS AGO AT THE PARK, IN THE AFTERNOON A 15-year-old teen was looking depressed and sitting on a swing in the playground in a park with some bruises and a blackeye, sobbing as he noticed a shadow coming towards him. He looked up to see an old woman with gray hair and a bang on it, holding a cane to stabilize herself as she looked worried. “Dusk! What’s happened to you?” She asked as Dusk looked at her. “Oh… hi Grandma Twilight.” Said Dusk as he looked away from her. “It’s nothing. I fell.” He replies as Twilight didn’t believe him. “Dusk… I’m your grandma, please tell me the truth.” She demanded as Dusk sighed. “Okay. Mom and Dad did this to me, along with my sister, Eventide.” He said as Twilight looked shocked. “WHAT! Why would they do that?!” “I don’t believe Friendship is Magic.” Said Dusk as Twilight placed her hand on his shoulder. “Tell me why?” She asked as Dusk looked at her. “I’ve been noticing that some friendships are starting to become… toxic.” Said Dusk as Twilight looked surprised. “I know that Friendship is Magic, and you and your friends always show the good of it.” He explained as Twilight smile “But… I never know why you or any of the other aunties show the bad in Friendship.” Twilight frowned hearing that but realized that’s true. “I… I never thought of the possibilities of something bad in Friendship. Maybe my pony counterpart hasn’t realized it.” She said as she did see some friendships that showed some toxicity; nothing involving Loyalty, Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Honesty, Magic nor Empathy. “I guess we failed without noticing. We only showed the good and haven’t seen or taught the bad until it’s too late and someone else noticed it.” She said as she frowned and looked at her grandson “I’m sorry. I should have been a good grandmother.” She said as Dusk patted her on the shoulder. “No Grandma, this isn’t your fault. It’s those who chose to use violence against those who chose not to believe in Friendship. Like me, I’m one of them.” Said Dusk as Twilight stared at him and smiled. “Don’t worry Dusk.” Said Twilight “I have a plan that not even your parents and sister can ever touch.” She said as she kissed Dusk on the head. “Grandma…” Said Dusk while being embarrassed. “Sorry but I must go. When you’re my age, you'll no longer sleep late after experimenting.” She said as she walked away from her Grandson “I love you forever.” She said as Dusk looked at her “I love you too.” Said Duck as he sighed as he saw the sunset. “I wonder if I could make some friends that aren’t friendship obsessed.” He said as he watched the sun go down. *Sobbing* Dusk turned to see someone crying on a bench. END OF FLASHBACK Dull sighed as he parked his car to a building with a neon sign that said, ‘Crooked Bar’. Dull entered the bar as it was filled with drunken people and smoke. He walked to a table with 2 people sitting there: a tall and large muscular woman with Apricot skin, DD cup rack, Maroon red Spiky Pixie hair and Eggplant eyes and a short skinny man with Tea green skin, Umber Bowl Cut hair and Mink gray eyes were drinking liquor. Dull grabbed a seat and sat down. “Hey, love couple.” Said Dull as they turned to Dull. “Dull!” Said the short man as the large woman smiled. “Hey Dull.” She said as he looked at their hands which had wedding rings on it. “Bloody Chops (Age: 29) and Green Fields (Age: 25) Happy to see you two again.” He said as Blood Chops frowned. “I wish you would stop calling me that.” Said Bloody Chops. “Yeah, but you said if I call you Pork Chops, you’ll punch me in the nose.” Said Dull as Green comforted his wife. “You did express yourself in a violent way, dear.” He said as Bloody sighed. “I knew I shouldn’t have said that before I got in shape.” She said as Dull laughed. “Well, it was for your wedding day, but the abs were a bit overkill.” He said as Green held his wife’s hand. “I wanted it to be perfect. I guess the extra workout and extra shifts at my job was a bad idea.” Said Bloody as regretted her actions. “Also, I’m surprised that no one questioned whether a vegetarian herbalist married a slaughterhouse worker.” He said as Green and Bloody nodded by that question. “Well, I think it’s because of how fit Chops is, they think of a workout trainer instead of that.” Said Green as Bloody nodded. “I’m one misunderstood being.” She said as she ordered some food and beer. “Want anything? I’m buying.” “Water only. I finally got some time off and I don’t want to waste it being drunk.” He said as they nodded. “I still think that Black Company you’re working for is a bad idea.” Said Green as he ate his salad. “I want to work somewhere else, but…” Dull turned to see a bar keeper had the ‘Friendship is Magic’ Banner across a wall. “I don’t want to be forced to believe.” They turned to see what Dull was talking about. “Oh… Yeah, I agree with you on that.” Said Bloody “I have been noticing that saying has been getting involved in violent attacks. Some people have been hurt because of it.” She said as she noticed she was getting some glares. “And speaking shit about it, causes some random attacks.” Said Dull as they decided to keep quiet as Bloody showed her fist as the punks as they backed off. “At least I’m getting a vacation that I deserved. I can plan for my surprise.” He said as Green and Bloody looked concerned. “What’s surprising?” Asked Bloody as Dull showed them a small box. “I’m gonna ask my girlfriend the big question.” He said as both Bloody & Green as they were surprised and clapped for him. “We hope she said yes.” Said Green as Bloody looked worried. (“That is… if she isn’t one of them heartless sluts because of her job.”) Thought Bloody. 15 Minutes Later Dull, Green & Bloody went their separate ways as Dull drove in crowded roads until he went to a large parking lot. Dull left the parking lot and entered the building next to the parking lot. He walked up to the elevator as he headed for the top floor. Dull exited the elevator, headed down the hall, pulled out his key and opened the door while locking it behind him. “*SIGH* I need some rest.” He said as he turned on the lights to see a simple living room with a couch and Smart TV on a stand, Dull plop on the couch. “I need this.” He said as he heard some music. Dull looked around as he felt something soft behind them. He moved forward and turned around to see a tall voluptuous female in a bathrobe with Ebony Skin, Pink Blossom Afro, Ivory eyes, plump red lips, J-cup, and big bubble ass. “GAH!” “What’s wrong baby? Didn’t like my surprise?” The lady asked as Dull blushed as looked down. “No… I don’t but I didn’t know you would do that, Honey Stacks (Age: 27).” He said as Honey sat down on the couch, she patted the cushion next to her and wanted Dull to sit next to her. “Come here baby. I just want to cheer you up since you’ve been exhausted because of your job.” She said as Dull sat down. “Well… thanks for your surprise.” Said Dull as Honey hugged him. “You’re welcome.” She said as Dull hugged her back as she pushed him on the rug. “Honey?!” He said as she was on top of him. “Time for your real surprise!” She said as she untied her robe and kissed Dull in the lips. 1 hour and 5 climaxes later Dull was sleeping in his bed while hugging Honey Stacks, naked. She was staring at Dull and kissed him on the forehead. She got herself free from Dull’s hug, folded Dull’s clothes as a small box fell from his pocket. She picked it up and opened it as it revealed a ring and a small note that said, ‘Will you marry me?’. Honey stared at it and started to cry. “Oh… Dull…” She said as she put it back in Dull’s pants pocket, grabbed her clothes and left crying. “I’m sorry.” Morning Dull woke up as he stretched a bit, he noticed Honey was gone. He sighed unhappily “I forgot to ask her. I hope I can ask her a big answer.” He said as he noticed the time was 9:29AM. “I guess I had a really good sleep.” He said as he got dressed in casual clothes; A purple T-Shirt with long navy blue jeans, black sneakers and went to the kitchen to see water on the floor. “What the?” He opened the freezer to see his frozen food was starting to thaw. “Is the power out?” He wondered as he flipped the light switches to see no lights were turning on. “Great… the power is out of this apartment.” I better call the manager.” He said as he grabbed his phone to see no signal. “No signal? And no WIFI?!” He noticed his router was off and the TV wasn’t turning on. “What’s going on?” He said he decided to check outside. He opened the curtains to reveal buildings were damaged, vehicles were wrecked and smashed up, explosions & massive smoke appeared in the sky. “Holy… Fuck…” He said as he looked down to witness people getting attacked by unknown creatures and getting killed, he backed away from the window. “What the hell is going on?! Is it the apocalypse?! The end of the world?!” He said as he fell to the floor. “Is the world coming to an end? Is it because we allow something not from our dimension to tant our way of life?” He questions as he hears some banging on the door. Dull turned to it as he was starting to worry “Is it someone looking for survivors? Or looters trying to survive?” He said as a screen appeared in front of him. WHAT IS THE BEST CLASS IN ORDER TO SURVIVE IN AN APOCALYPTIC WORLD? PLEASE MAKE YOUR CHOICE IMMEDIATELY. “What the?” Said Dull as cards with pictures of people on it with fantasy-theme clothes and a number of stars on it appeared around him as he looked to see what they were. “What is this crazy shit?” He said as he noticed a card that was blank. “What’s this on?” He said as he grabbed it as it shined and vanished. YOU HAVE SELECTED YOUR CLASS CARD. SYNERGIST [UNKNOWN] “What’s a Synergist?” He wondered if a Forging Hammer appeared from nothing. “A… hammer?” *BASH* Dull turned to see a hole in his door as a monstrous creature that he had never seen in his life was trying to crawl in his house. “HOLY CRAP!” He screamed as the creature pulled a knife from its pocket and started hacking the door to enter. “SHIT!” He yelled as he went to the kitchen, grabbed a large kitchen knife, attacked the creature by stabbing it in the neck as green blood poured down the door. “This is messed up.” YOU HAVE RECEIVED 10 EXP & 10 GOLD FROM DEFEATING A GOBLIN “Okay…” Said Dull as he looked at his home. “Can’t stay here. After what this goblin did, more might come.” He said as he picked up the hammer. “What is this hammer supposed to do?” He asked as a screen appeared.

Dull’s Stats: “Okay… so no bonus points. This isn’t a game, it's reality.” Said Dull as he opened his inventory and collected everything in the apartment. Even knives and utensils in case of other survivors and clothing. Dull opened his ring box and stared at the ring. “Honey…, Green…, Bloody…, Kyo…, I hope you’re all still alive.” He said as he looked at the goblin corpse and pulled it into the empty apartment, examine the corpse for hidden loot or weapons until a screen appeared. Reminder: there are Mana Stones within the monsters, located at the heart. “Fuck…” Said Dull as he put on rubber gloves, pulled out the Goblin Knife and did a harvest by hand. He pulled out a small crystal pebble. Harvest an F-Grade Mana Crystal “Yuck.” He said as opened the window and tossed the corpse out the window.” He closed it and looked disgusted as he heard some roars from below. Dull stood close to the wall and peek to see more goblins were examining the body of one of their kind and pointed to the top of the apartment. Some decided to climb while others entered the apartment. “Great…” He said as he grips both the kitchen and goblin knife as he locked the windows in the apartment. One of the goblins stopped by his window and tried to break in but couldn’t. It climbed to the top as Dull stood prepared. Some goblins passed his door, but one stopped and looked in the hole, only to get stabbed between the eyes. YOU HAVE RECEIVED 10 EXP & 10 GOLD FROM DEFEATING A GOBLIN Dull took its knife and harvested the Mana Stone while leaving its corpse in the hole. “I gotta get out of here.” He said as he looked, he pulled out a small gift from his Grandma. “I never opened this when she passed away. I wonder what it is?” He opened it and looked shocked. “IS THAT!?!?!?” > Survival > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “IS THAT!?!?!?” Yelled Dull as the gift that his grandma Twilight Sparkle gave him was seeing the Geode that she wore when she found it in Camp Everfree, The Geode of Magic. “So that’s why my folks constantly harassed me to ‘Return what belongs to your sister’.” He in a mocking tone as he found a note and read it. Dear Dusk, If you’re reading this, then I have passed away. I’ve been thinking about what you told me, and you were right about friendship becoming toxic. I was planning to give it to your sister but after witnessing how she treats her friends and misuse friendship. I decided to give it to you since you can see through false friendship, along with my friends who plan to give their geodes to those who deserve them. Please wear it with pride as you might help others with real friendship. I love you no matter what and be proud of who you are. Love Grandma. Dusk shed a tear as he took out the geode from the box. “I may not believe in that crap, but I won’t disappoint her or let that tramp of a sister and parents get this.” He said as he put it on and felt some of its magic as he looked at it. [Name Info] Name: Geode of Magic Grade: Legendary Classification: Pendant Effects: Mana (+1000) Mana Recovery Boost (+10% per 10 seconds, Increase additional 10% by the number of True Friends), only affected by The True Bearer of Magic. “Whoa… Thank you Grandma.” Said Dull as he tried his increased Mana on the Goblin Knifes by crafting them into one. He examined it as it looked the same [Item Info] Name: Goblin Knife +1 Grade: Common Classification: One-Handed Effects: N/A “Hmmm… I guess I must evaluate it.” He spoke as he walked out his apartment. Dull looked around carefully as he walked while wielding the new weapon. “I better be careful. Those goblins might be closer than I think.” He said as he walked down the hall carefully. He noticed that some of the doors down the hall were opened, closed, or smashed. “I hope that some people escaped before the goblins got to them.” He said as 3 goblins came charging at him as he slashed one in half as he slashed the other 2. YOU HAVE RECEIVED 10 EXP & 10 GOLD FROM DEFEATING A GOBLIN x3 EXP: 50/100 Gold: 50 Dull looked at the blade as it slashed them instantly. “It’s sharp to slice through skin. I need something to sheath it.” He examined the goblin corpses and found some sheathes for its knives. “This will do.” He said as he collected 3 of the Mana Stones and the knives and created another Goblin Knife+1 and put the extra in his Item Inventory as he wielded both knives in his hands. Dull went down as he attacked any goblin in his way. “I wish I didn’t choose to live on the top floor.” He said as he checked some of the other rooms for survivors.” He said as he checked some rooms. 1 Hour Later Dull managed to leave his apartment by himself (killing 10 goblins in his way) as he was the only one who left; he found some survivors, but they refuse to leave as they hope for the military, the police or the Magic of Friendship will save them. Dull was annoyed by their prayers that friendship will save them, but he just left them to die. (“I should feel guilty that they’ll die because of their dumb believe but I doubt it will work in the Apocalypse. Morons.”) He thought as he looked at his stats. “I’ve reached level 2 and instead of stats increasing, I must pick a level up card. How old school are these powers?” He said as he remembered his choices EXP: 50/200 Gold: 150 Stats (Random) Skill (Random) Item (Random) Others (Random) Strength (Random) He chose the Skill card and it gave him a ‘Storage’ Skill. Dull didn’t understand why he had one but learned it was to store his materials for his ‘Forge’ & ‘Craft’ skills. [Skill Info] Name: Storage Grade: F Classification: Warehouse Effects: Store numerous materials of 10 types of materials. Dull ran to his car which was smashed up. “Fuck! My car!” He whined as it was his only hope to make it to his friends and girlfriends. “Wait… I wonder…” He pulled out his Hammer and went to it as a screen appeared. Beyond Repair due to Skill Grade “Damn it!” He said as he noticed some cars in the street were smashed as he remembered his skills. “Wait a moment…” He looked at his hammer. “This could work.” He said as he dismantled his car and the others that were beyond repair. Collected 82 Metal Ingots 36 Rubber Tires “I better find some of those who I care about.” He said as headed out for Honey & Kyo’s home in the city. Dull walked carefully while going down the street as he saw human corpses were on the roads and sidewalks. “This is hell…” He said as he continued to head down the road. He walked down the road as he saw a massive purple wall made of glass. “What’s this?” AREA HAS BEEN SEALED WITH POWERFUL MAGIC. DEFEAT THE ‘BOSS MONSTER’ TO RELEASE THE MAGIC AND OPEN THE DOOR. NOT ATTACKING THE MONSTER WITHIN THE ALLOTTED TIME WILL STRENGTHEN THE MONSTERS LOCATED AT THE CAR LOT. (04 DAYS 11:42:03) “What the fuck?!” He said as he checked the count down. “Monsters will get stronger at the Car Lot?” Said Dull as he remembers where the Car Lot was. “It’s at least 5 miles to Automatic’s Car Lot. Hmm… I guess I might get stronger by the time I get there.” He said as he headed to the lot but remembered that there’s a supermarket at least 2 miles away from the lot. “I can gather some food if the monsters didn’t eat all of it.” He said as he headed towards the mall as he stopped at a bicycle store was smashed in. Dull grabbed a mountain bike and pedaled to the mall. “I wonder if I’m not the only one who grabbed a card? I mean I can’t be the only one who picked a card.” He wondered as he stopped to see some people that managed to fight off some of the goblins. Dull hid in an alley for certain reasons; people in the apocalypse tend to drop their sanity. “This is hell!” Yelled a brawly looking man wielding an ax. “Oh, shut the fuck up!” Yelled a thin man with a long sword said to the brawny man “We’re strong to kill these monsters.” He said as a woman holding a dagger shove them apart. “Shut it you dickheads! Remember what that gate said. If we kill that monster, we’ll be out of this shit hole of a city!” She said as they smiled. “Besides with our synergy, we can’t lose.” (Synergy? What the hell is that?”) “After we save the people, I hope to have some bitches to bang.” Said the brawly man as they all laughed and left. Dull was disgusted and sighed. “Knew it. The sanity of people is dead.” Said Dull as he collected some of the goblin knives from the goblin corpses that group left behind. “Don’t those people know resources when they see them?” Dull collected 10 Goblin Knives, the Mana Stones and some knife sheaths as he headed to the supermarket. 15 Minutes Later, 1 mile Dull was panting as he got off the bike. “I guess I got my grandma’s lack of energy in exercising. Should have known since magic is considered their strength.” Said Dull as he made some new improvements on the Goblin Knives. [Item Info] Name: Goblin Knife +3 Grade: Common Classification: One-Handed Effects: (+2 Strength) [Item Info] Name: Goblin Knife +2 Grade: Common Classification: One-Handed Effects: (+1 Strength) “I guess I better evaluate these knives.” Said Dull as he slashed a wall of a building to show it cut a bit, half an inch at least. “ Sweet.” He spoke. *Growl* Dull turned to see at least 10 goblins charging towards him as Dull got in position to fight as he slashes and stabs the goblins. EXP: 150/200 Gold: 250 YOU HAVE KILLED 20 MONSTERS. YOU HAVE EARNED A ROULETTE TICKET. *YOU ARE THE 25TH PERSON IN HISTORY TO ACHIEVE THE ‘UNLIMITED RATING’ [LIMITED TO 100 PEOPLE]* “Hmm… I’ll look into it later, I better head for the supermarket.” He said to himself. “If you’re planning to find food, I recommend not.” Said a voice as Dull looked around, gripping his knives. “Who's there?!” He said as a woman with teal skin, an ivy green ponytail and bronze eyes in a police uniform holding a book while pushing a young man who has pale gray skin, messy orange hair and Rice Milk eyes on a wheelchair holding a wooden wizard staff. “Hello, I'm an officer… actually just call me Maxine or Max (Age: 23).” She said as the man looked scared “This is my husband, Specter (Age: 21).” Specter waved as Dull looked at them and nodded. “Dull.” He said as they looked offended. “That’s my name, Dull.” “Oh…” She said as Specter mouthed it out. “Sorry, my husband is mute and we’re the only ones that survive in this area.” She said as her husband looked at Dull. “Yeah, I came from the Grimsley Apartments, a mile from here. I’m trying to find some of my friends and… lover(s) and praying they’re still alive." He said as Max looked at the bike. “I’m trying to take out the monster boss of this area to go to the next.” Max was shocked by that. “Are you crazy!? It will kill you and guns won’t help you!” She said as Dull looked confused. “What?” as she sighed. “Listen, after what happened at 6AM. All matters of guns were useless, even with bullets.” She said as she pulled on out and tried to shoot at a smashed car but didn’t fire. “See, nothing. Apparently after those cards appeared, My man and I picked a card. I picked ‘Elemental Mage’ while my husband got ‘War Wizard’.” She said as Dull remembered the stars on the card. “How many stars? I mean those cards had stars on them. How many stars were on your card?” Asked Dull as Specter pointed at his wife and held one finger and himself four fingers. “My card was blank. Like it was something never seen.” Said Dull quietly as he looked at them. “So, what skills did you get from the cards?” He asked as Spector gave him a notebook that had the skills he had. Specter LV:2 HP: 20/20 MP: 60/60 Skills: ‘Barrier’ ‘Magic Beam’ EXP: 0/200 Gold: 100 Max LV:2 HP: 30/30 MP: 20/20 Skills: ‘Fire Shot’ ‘Water Shot’ ‘Earth Shot’ ‘Air Shot’ ‘Electric Shot’ EXP: 0/200 Gold: 100 “I see.” Said Dull “Tell me, why are you two hiding? I thought some people would gather and make a bunker where they can be safe?” He said as Max was pissed. “I did suggest it, but my police chief and fellow officers forgot their duties in protecting the peace. They were more obsessed with themselves than innocent lives.” She said as they looked at the destruction. “All these people died because of this apocalypse and survival is imminent.” Dull looked at her and had an idea. “I got an idea. If we work together, I can help with these wrecked cars.” He said as Spector looked confused as Dull pulled out his hammer and went to work. Both couples were amazed by what he did as he cleared the way of debris. “Whoa…” Collected 15 Metal Ingots 16 Rubber Tires “Now we can go. I got a plan, but I need some things in the supermarket. If I remember correctly, there’s a shopping center with an auto store close by and I can create a cart with an automatic engine to pull it for us.” He said as they agreed to the idea as a screen appeared before them. Would you like to join Dull’s party? Yes No “We will join.” Said Max as Specter nodded. Maxine & Specter has joined Dull’s Survival Party Dull smiled as 3 screens appeared as they had the same words on it. [Synergy List] 1] Mage Group Class: Synergy Class Condition: More than 3 Mages in a party Effect: Share the highest MP Recovery to others, 5% MP Increase to base MP. “Interesting.” Said Dull as they headed for the Supermarket. 10 Minutes Later Dull and his new party made it to the shopping center as some of the stores’ glass windows were smashed as they found a bar that was smashed up from the inside but had scorch marks on the outside. “I’m thinking that some of the survivors must have made Molotov cocktails to set the monsters on fire.” Said Dull as Max looked at scorch marks. “Normally this is considered a crime but given the state of the world, it’s a must.” She said as Specter rolled to an auto store to see some things smashed up. Dull walked to collect some Car Batteries as he placed them in a parking lot as Max helped. “I think that’s all the batteries that aren't leaking. How are you going to make something with these?” She asked as Dull took out all the Metal Ingot he collected and rubber tires. “97 Ingots, 52 Tires & 9 Car Batteries. I’m going to work.” He said as he began his craft as a Timer appeared over him. Work: 2 Hours “What?!” Said Max “Then what are we supposed to do?” She said as Dull tossed them old books; literature, Manga, Comic from 60 years ago. “You both have my MP Recovery Rate, you can create a barrier to protect us and attack monsters that will keep on approaching. Plus, you can practice your skills.” Said Dull. We can get stronger.” He said as Specter used his magic to create a barrier around them as they waited while Max decided to practice her skills. 2 Hours Later “All done!” Max was practicing her magic as she fired a sphere of water in the shape of a soccer ball at some wreck cars as Specter was reading an old Garfield the Cat book. They both looked to see a large metal caravan that fused with a van metal armor to mow down the monsters, with side windows, as it has 8 wheels with armor shielding to prevent them getting punctured with knives. [Name Info] Name: Motor Caravan Grade: F Classification: Vehicle Effects: Durability: 300/300, Electric Fuel: 190 Miles. Durability will drop by hitting monsters, people and humans. “Whoa…” Said Max as Dull managed to use those car seat covers to make the seats comfortable for the passengers and the driver, able to hold up to 12 passengers; 1 driver, its co-driver and 10 passengers. “This is amazing!” She said as she realized something “WAIT?! What about gasoline?” She said as Dull shook his head “It takes electricity. So, if the Car Batteries die, Max can charge them as he heads out.” Explained Dull as they examined their new ride. “This will be one violent ride!” Said Max as she helped her husband in the caravan as Dull took the wheel. He turned on the newly built ride as it roared as it slowly moved as it rolled out the parking lot. “It works!” He said as they drove to the supermarket while mowing down goblins in their way as they smashed through the glass entrance. YOU HAVE RECEIVED 10 EXP & 10 GOLD FROM DEFEATING A GOBLIN x12 Dull EXP: 70/300 Max EXP: 120/200 Specter EXP: 120/200 Dull's Gold: 370 Max's Gold: 220 Specter's Gold: 220 Dull has gained a level. [LV: 3] “It took 90 of those Metal Ingots to make it and it’s working wonderfully.” Said Dull as Max lifted her husband back to his wheelchair as Max realized something. “If you can create a vehicle, can you create some neuro mech legs for my man?” She said as Dull looked at her and thought about it. “That could be possible…” He said as Specter looked at him. “I think I can.” He said as he grabbed a skill card. ‘Craft’ has level up to Grade: E E-Rank Tools & Weapons can be crafted. “But something like that will take time.” He said as they witnessed a wrecked-up supermarket with half-eaten food, human bodies, blood stain floors and some goblins fled in fear by the vehicle. “And time is something we have to complete.” He said as they marched through the supermarket. Dull grabbed a shopping cart as he looked around to see some can and bag food got ripped open or wasn't on the shelf. “We better collect as much food as we can.” Said Max as she looked around for food. “And we better take some pots and pans to cook them on it.” She said as she looked to grab some food as a goblin attacked her. *ROAR* Max punched it in the face as she grabbed its knife and stabbed it in the neck. YOU HAVE RECEIVED 10 EXP & 10 GOLD FROM DEFEATING A GOBLIN Max EXP: 130/200 Max's Gold: 130 “Stupid monster.” She said as she looked at her tomebook. “Hey Dull, can you make me a weapon? I don’t think that using only magic to fight my battles isn't a wise idea.” Said Max as Spector nodded as he had a shopping basket filled with Goblin Knives. “Good idea but it will only be knives since I don’t have that many ingots left. Also, I don’t have that many resources like metal but with the tires, I have an idea to craft.” Said Dull as he grabbed a loaf of bread as he pulled out his hammer, the tires and got to work. Dull was hammering away fast as Specter used his magic to protect the group as goblins tried to dog pile them but slid down on them as both he and Max went to kill the goblins surrounding them.

He smirked as he gave a thumbs up as he floated towards them as he took a shield. “Your husband is impressive.” He said as he floated above them with a smirk as they continued to collect any can and box food as they could while Specter viewed from above to attack any goblins that were planning ambushes on the shelves. As Max and Dull collect food, Max witnesses all the corpses around them that aren’t goblins. “These poor people. They didn’t deserve to die from this… hell.” Said Max as she witnessed a corpse of a child as she covered her mouth in horror. Dull frowned as he looked to see some meat, vegetables, and fruits were eaten as they collected their canned versions and water. *SLASH* “Huh?” They said as they witnessed 2 people were fighting some goblins; one was holding a potted plant as long vines stretched out and hanging some goblins as a muscular woman was slashing goblins with a massive jagged sword. “Wait… GREEN?! BLOODY?!” Yelled Dull as they turned to see Dull. “DULL!” They spoke as they hugged him and he hugged them back as Max and Specter looked at Dull. “Are these friends of yours?” Asked Max as Dull turned to them. “These are my pals from his college days. This is Green Fields and his wife, Bloody Chops.” He said as they looked at him with raised brows as Bloody looked at him. “Say my real name! There’s no signals anywhere, so no one can post humiliating videos.” She yelled at him. “Fine… Pork Chops.” He said as they looked at her and her belly. “Yeah… I know the irony.” Said Bloody as she rubbed her belly and smacked her abs. “I wanted to fit in my wedding dress, so I went overboard.” She said as she put away her sword. “Uh… understandable. I’m Officer Maxine and this is my husband, Specter.” She said as he waved at them. “He’s mute and was still in the middle of healing after an accident involving a wax floor and a lazy-ass custodial.” She said as Specter clenched his fist in rage. “We would have sued her but she hanged herself because it was better than getting the death penalty.” She said as she noticed Dull, Green & Bloody backed away. “She had a record that got her 35 years in a cell. She rather kill herself than the law kill her as her way of saying ‘Fuck you all to hell’.” She explained. “I can see that.” Said Dull as he turned to Green & Bloody. “Can you explain to me how you 2 survived through this hell?” He said as they both looked at each other. “Okay, we’ll explain.” Said Green. > Survival Bloody & Green's story > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Wake up sweetie. It is time for work.” Said Green as Bloody slowly woke up from her sleep. “*YAWN* There should be a law against waking up in the morning.” Said Bloody as she stretched as she got off from bed. “I know dear. Now please sit up for your breakfast. Bacon and a veggie shake.” He said as Bloody gagged by it. “I used Orange and Apple Juice to give the aftertaste some flavor.” He said as Bloody smiled. “Okay, thanks for breakfast.” She said as she chugged the entire glass and ate her bacon. 20 Minutes Later Green drove Bloody to “Okay Honey! I will see you later. Don’t forget to invite Dull at the bar.” She said as she left as Green waved goodbye. Chop Shop Slaughterhouse Bloody was wielding a chainsaw as she slashed a cattle corpse’s head off. “A few more cattle and we’re done for the day.” “If we’re done.” Said a man’s voice as Bloody turned her head to see another employee holding a leg. “What do you mean?” “We’re just gotten orders to do more than usual.” He said as Bloody looked shocked. “WHAT THE FUCK!?” She said as she gripped her chainsaw tightly. “It’s for some big shot who just needed it at the last minute!” As the other employees came, they were pissed off about it. “No fucking way!” "I refuse to work longer!” Bloody looked at her other co-workers and turned to the boss who was nervous about his angry workers. “Listen, I know you’re all furious, but this is a big deal!” He said as the workers began to argue. “This order will give all of you a 20% bonus of your paycheck!” This stopped the angry rants as they smiled. “Yes! Now grab your knives and saws because we got some animals to slaughter!” The employees and Bloody grabbed their tools and headed to their stations. 4 Hours Later Bloody was cleaned up of the blood from the meat she’d butchered as she found her husband waiting outside for her. “You worked longer than expected.” He spoke. “Some rich client made a sudden order and most of us workers had to do overtime.” Explained Bloody as she showed her bank account through her phone. “But we were all given a 20% bonus for it.” She said as Green was surprised by it. “Oh my. I didn’t expect that.” He said as he opened the car for her as she got in the passenger’s side as Green got in the driver’s side and drove off to the Crooked Bar. When they made it to the bar, it was filled with people as some were happy while some were depressed and drinking their sorrows away. "Ugh... I can’t tell if they're happy because they’re drunk or because of those Friendship crimes?” She said as they got themselves a table with 3 chairs. “Don’t know but the talk about friendship has been getting violent for decades.” Said Green as his voice was drowned down by the noise. “I’m starting to be afraid of it. Even though I’m an adult.” He said as Bloody placed her hand on his shoulder. “It’s okay to be afraid. Just don’t let it control you.” Said Bloody as they order some appetizers. Go back to Green Field dropping his wife to work Green dropped his wife off as he drove off. Green managed to drive to a warehouse with Solar panels on the roof, a water tower next to it within a wired fence around them. He used a button to open the gate to drive in, close the gate behind him and exited his car to enter the warehouse. Green looked to see rows of plants, fruits, and vegetables in rows of dirt and fertilizer under large skylights to give the plants sunlight and a homemade watering system. “Ahh… Back in my personal modification Green Warehouse (Pun not intended). I thank my grandfather, rest his soul, For giving me this warehouse. Even though it was in shambles because of time, I managed to remodel this building into a greenhouse and grow the freshest food and plants I can grow.” He said as he went to harvest some of the crops and check with the crops that are still growing. “*sigh* this saves on buying them, but the wait is such a hassle.” Said Green Fields as he turned to see a photo of himself, Dull and a chubby version of Bloody Chops. “She did change from the moment we met in the community college.” 7 Years Earlier Green Fields (Age: 18) was in a small greenhouse watering some plants as he was happy for his hobby. “~Lovely plants growing in the light of the sun! Watching the beauty blooming is fun!~” He sang as he heard some knocking. Green turned to see a familiar friend at his door as he opened the door for him “Dusk!” He said happily but Dusk (Age: 23) wasn’t happy. “DULL! My name is DULL!!!” He yelled at Green as Green forgot that Dusk legally changed his name. “Sorry buddy. Forgot that your new name is Dull. But you’ll always be Dusk to me.” He said as Dull rolled his eyes. “And it’s also a name that I’m trying to bury with my past.” He said as Green gathered his things. “Okay, gonna get ready. Wait for me, please.” He said as Dull went to the car. 20 Minutes Later Dull was waiting in his car as Green came in casual clothes. “Sorry for the wait. I didn’t want to smell like fertilizer.” He said as Dull sighed. “Whatever. You’re paying me for the rides and gas. Don’t know why you want to meet girls?” He said in annoyance. “They’re minions to the Magic of Corruption.” He said as Green sighed. “Not all women are believers.” He spoke. “Then why do they want to be my friend when we barely know each other?” He answered as Green didn’t have an answer for that. “Okay, maybe I can’t rebuttal that but there has to be a girl for you out there.” He said, “Or a man.” He said as Dull looked at him. “Just saying in case you question your sexuality.” He said while shielding himself as Dull just drove off. “This is stupid. Going to a massive dance club to look for a date is foolish.” He said as Green ignored him. “I think it’s important that anyone can find love.” Said Green as Dull rolled his eyes. 4EVER DANCING CLUB Dull dropped Green off as he drove away as he spent his time at the club. Green sighed for Dull as he entered the club. 1 Hour Later Green was sitting at a table in the corner of the dance club looking depressed. “I guess Dull was right about people only talking about friendship and the number of friends they made.” He said as he looked a bit down. “Tell me about it.” He turned to a chubby woman with Apricot skin, DD cup rack, Maroon red Spiky Pixie hair and Eggplant eyes “I came here with my friends for a fun time, but they used me as living penis repellent to get the guys to attract them instead.” She said as Green felt sorry for her. “I’m sorry.” He said as the girl looked at him. “Eh… it’s not your fault. Times have changed and becoming obsessed with friendship is starting to become extremely toxic. I mean we were friends in elementary school but instead of caring about each other, it's mostly the number of friends we made.” She said as she looked at Green and put out her hand. “My name is Pork Chops (Age: 22).” She said as Green shook her hand. “Green Fields.” He said as he smiled back at her. Time Pass Pork Chops and Green Fields came out holding hands as a car came to show Dull was driving. “Ugh… don’t tell me, I have to make 2 trips?” He said as Pork crossed her arms. “Rude!” She said as Green Fields calmed her down. “He’s just in a tired mood. Family issues.” He said as he turned to Dull “Her home is close to mine.” “One less trip and less gas consumption. Get in!” He said as he opened the doors. “One rule, keep your make-out time out of the car.” He said as they got in. “Tell me, did your parents show you love?” Said Pork as Dull’s eyes narrowed in anger as Green waved his hands to tell Pork to stop. “His… parents are… toxic.” He said as Pork shut her mouth. “Sorry.” She said as she shut up. “Bah… it’s not your fault.” Said Dull “I blame the Corruption of Friendship.” He said as he drove off with them. Back to Green’s Home Dull dropped them off and looked at them “Don’t let your hormones take over! It’s the reason for some bad choices in our age.” He said as he drove off, leaving them behind as Pork turned to Green as they smiled. “He’s a good guy. He… just has a rogue cover trying to protect himself from everyone. Mostly, those Friendship Attackers.” He said as Pork nodded. “Poor guy. Explains his attitude.” She said as she turned to Green “Uh… I’ll see you later.” She said as she walked away as Green watched her walk away. “Uh…” He said as Pork turned around “Can we exchange numbers?” He said as Pork smiled as she pulled out her phone. Back to the Present Green sighed as he pickled some fruits and vegetables. “I better go, it’s almost time to celebrate our 4th anniversary drink together.” He said as he exited his warehouse and drove off to pick up his wife. After a drink together with Dull Bloody threw some people to the dumpster as she got in the car as Green drove off fast. “Ugh… Those Attackers of Friendship are getting worse and worse.” Said Bloody as Green looked nervous. “We better not go home. Their friends might follow us home.” Said Green as Bloody looked at him. “No hotels. They’re getting too expensive, and they don’t ‘clean’ everything in the rooms.” Said Bloody as Green drove to the place he knows that no one can enter. Green drove back to the Green Warehouse (Pun not intended), and opened the gate and drove in. “Forgot about this place.” Said Bloody as they entered. “I was smart enough to add a personal sleeping quarters in case I’m too tired to drive home.” He said he opened a door at the side to enter a one bedroom/living room with a tv, fridge, and large bed and a room to the bathroom. “You must plan ahead of time. Plus, this was once owned by the previous owner, my grandpa, when he was canning fruits and vegetables.” Said Green. “Oh yeah, Mr. Cannery, the Green Can King who donated his provisions to the homeless and needy. He was a great kind man.” Said Bloody. “Yeah… I miss him.” Said Green as he remembered that his grandpa passed away over a decade ago, but he passed away peacefully. “His company is still making donations without him, and I help out as best as I can.” He said as Bloody plopped on the bed. “You have a big heart, my man.” She said as she relaxed. Green looked at the time. “Time for bed.” He said as they both lay on bed together. “Good night.” “Don’t let nothing ruin your sleep.” Said Bloody as they sleep through the night without knowing that hell has come over. The Next Day Green wakes up as he hears some complaining coming from the bathroom. “Huh?” The door opened to show Bloody Chops in a bathrobe of her size. “There’s no running water!” She yelled as Green looked confused, turned the shower, and sink faucets on to see no running water “That’s odd?” He said as he went to turn on the TV to see only static. “Static.” Said Green as he flips through different channels to see only static “That’s… weird.” Bloody looked at him. “We should go home, sweetie.” She said as Green looked at her. “Get dressed and I’ll start the car.” He said as he walked out. Bloody quickly got dressed as she tied her shoes. Bloody looked shocked as she ran out to find out why he’s screaming? She opened the door to witness the city was smashed and destroyed as the sky was tinted yellow as large amounts of smoke filled the sky and explosions from far away. “Holy… fuck…” She said as they heard screeching wails. They turned to witness some monstrous creatures with red stains on their clothes trying to climb the fence as they were being shocked by the electricity that was converted from solar energy. “WHAT THE FUCK ARE THOSE?!” Screamed Bloody as Green was scared as he had never seen any creature like that in his life. “I… I don’t… know!” He said as he dragged his wife back inside as he hugged her tight. “I’m scared as shit!” Said Green as a screen appeared in front of them. WHAT IS THE BEST CLASS IN ORDER TO SURVIVE IN AN APOCALYPTIC WORLD? PLEASE MAKE YOUR CHOICE IMMEDIATELY. “Huh?” They both said as cards with pictures of people on it with fantasy-theme clothes and a number of stars on it appeared around. “What’s the fuck?” Said Bloody as she and Green were surrounded by cards as they didn’t knew what to do with them.” “Floating cards? Is there a magician around here?” Said Green as he looked around for the magician as both he and Bloody grabbed a card. “Because I think these odd cards belong to-” Before he could finish, the cards in their hands vanished. YOU HAVE SELECTED YOUR CLASS CARD. HUNTRESS [★★★] YOU HAVE SELECTED YOUR CLASS CARD. DRUID [★★★★] “What the hell?” Said Bloody as a large, jagged sword dropped in front of her as she jumped away in shock. “Epp…" “Holy… Fucking hell… ” said Green as he felt knowledge enter his brain as a wooden staff the plants around him move towards him, even his potted plants.“Holy… Fucking hell… ” said Green as he backed away. “My garden…” He said as he was a bit frightened by his plants moving as he noticed one of his cactus hopped towards him. “It is under my control…” He said as he was amazed. *SCREECH* Both Bloody and Green turned to the sound as they checked the security camera to see that one of the monsters managed to dig under the electric fence as they charged while slamming the door. “Oh no…” Said Green as Bloody lifted her weapon with ease. “I work in a slaughterhouse, so this may be a bit out of my work experience.” Said Bloody as Green looked worried as he noticed that his hanging vines were outside. “Wait, dear!” Yelled Green as she turned to him. “I want to try something.” He said as he focused on one of his… sudden new abilities. He grabbed tight to his staff, shut his eyes as a green aura surrounds him. Bloody was amazed by what her husband was doing. *SCREECH* Bloody turned to the security screen to witness that the hanging vines the Green placed her strangling them monsters as the vines choked them to death as she covered her mouth and swallowed her vomit. “SHIT SAKES, GREEN!!” She yelled at him as he looked scared. “I’m sorry, dear. I… feared them.” He said as screens appeared. YOU HAVE RECEIVED 10 EXP & 10 GOLD FROM DEFEATING A GOBLIN x2 Green EXP: 20/100 Green’s Gold: 20 Pork EXP: 20/100 Pork’s Gold: 20 “Gold?” Said Green as they decided to examine their pockets as they had nothing in them. They looked at each other as 2 screens appeared in front of them. Green Fields & Blood Chop's STATS: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EoCdhPYgk8CwBbjUkh_FlLM99i3xWfn2/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=107679624333313479915&rtpof=true&sd=true “Holy… beanfields…” He said as Bloody looked at the screen. “So… Dismantle monsters for edible food and anything inedible… I guess my job at the Slaughterhouse did pay off.” She said as she turned to her husband to see him using his magic to turn a cactus into a walking familiar. “I’m seeing some possibilities.” She said as Green ordered it along with some other plants he used his magic on. Green grabbed a potted plant as he ordered the plants to protect the warehouse. “We need to look for survivors, dear.” Said Green “We don’t know if we’re the only living people in the city.” He said as he got in the car and started up the car as Bloody got in as Green’s plants attacked the goblins to get out of their way as they drove off.

Gives an intimidation effect to weaker monsters. He said as they drove off. A Goblin witnessed them leaving and managed to get in when the fence opened for them to leave. The goblin smirked as it turned to see a cactus in a humanoid form. *Grrr?* The cactus extended its needles though its head as its blood dripped out of its head. YOU HAVE RECEIVED 10 EXP & 10 GOLD FROM DEFEATING A GOBLIN Green EXP: 20/200 Green’s Gold: 120 Pork EXP: 20/200 Pork’s Gold: 120 Roots from the grass wrapped around the goblin corpse as it dragged it underground. 4 Hours Later Green and Bloody have been driving for some hours around the city as they tried to leave the section of the city they're in but a massive barrier prevented them from leaving until they slay some monster boss at the local car lot. “This will be a bit difficult.” Said Green as he drove around the wrecked vehicles and drove to different roads as there were vehicles piled into walls. They stopped at a local gas station and killed some goblins in their way as they refuel. YOU HAVE RECEIVED 10 EXP & 10 GOLD FROM DEFEATING A GOBLINx18 Green EXP: 0/300 Green’s Gold: 300 Pork EXP: 0/300 Pork’s Gold: 300 Green Fields has gained a level.

Bloody turned to her husband. “Oh… Greeny…” She said as she was amazed as Green blushed. YOU HAVE RECEIVED 10 EXP & 10 GOLD FROM DEFEATING A GOBLINx4 Green EXP: 20/300 Green’s Gold: 320 Pork EXP: 20/300 Pork’s Gold: 320 “We better make sure the supplies aren’t damaged.” Said Green. “Time in the outside air will contaminate them with the decaying bodies.” He said as he stopped to see the bodies of a couple holding their child. “And search for survivors. Young, old, and orphaned, we must help to save their lives.” He said as Bloody nodded since no one deserved to die in the apocalypse as she grabbed a shopping cart. Green walked to the pharmacy section to collect some common medicine; cough syrup, cold medicine, rash cream, rubbing alcohol, bandages for small wounds and wrapping body parts, and antacids. “This may not be much but it’s better than nothing.” Said Green as Bloody looked around to see another Goblin, but it was collecting candy. “Is that Goblin… collecting candy!?” She said as the Goblin turned to the screaming Huntsman as it ran away in fear despite it could kill them. Green was confused as it fled. “Something is odd about it?” Said Green as they looked around in case of an ambush. They finished collecting the medicine that wasn't smashed and broken. “This is all the medicine we can collect. We better collect some seeds from the floral section and from any fruits or vegetables that the monsters might have littered.” He said as Bloody noticed that some lights weren’t on. “We better hope the meat hasn’t spoiled.” She said “In case we have to eat monster meat as one of our sources for protein.” She said which made Green a bit sick since rotten meat can breed maggots. They headed farther in the supermarket as they saw some goblins were eating some of the meat as they charged at them. Green used his magic to capture the goblins as Bloody slashed them all until they’re dead. YOU HAVE RECEIVED 10 EXP & 10 GOLD FROM DEFEATING A GOBLINx4 Green EXP: 60/300 Green’s Gold: 360 Pork EXP: 60/300 Pork’s Gold: 360 “Wait… GREEN?! BLOODY?!” Yelled a voice as they turned to witness Dull with 2 people they’ve never seen. “DULL!” They spoke as they hugged him, and he hugged them back as the 2 people looked at Dull. > Survival 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “And that’s how we got here.” Said Bloody as she grabbed some liquid soap of laundry and dishwashing in a shopping cart. Dull was amazed by what he heard. “I’m grateful that you 2 are still alive but after hearing what you said, you don’t mind if we could live with you as a temporary HQ for what we’re facing.” He asked as Green liked the thought but Bloody didn’t like it. “How will you contribute?” She said as they looked at him. “We’re now in a magical apocalypse and if I see those Mad Max Films, society has gone crazy, and morality is dead; survival is imminent. Forgive me but betrayal is now easily a thing.” She said as she crossed her arms as Dull stared and nodded. “Yeah that’s true. Also, any fool who believes friendship will save them is ignorant to survival.” Said Dull as he pulled out his mallet. “I can increase the durability and strength of weapons and managed to create a vehicle that’s powered by car batteries. If I can upgrade your place with defenses and rescue some survivors who are willing to help and fight whatever we’re going through.” Said Dull as Max and Specter looked at each other. “I like your idea of saving lives, but you also must be careful of some people who will steal and want to take over the base.” Said Max. “My husband can create a barrier to protect the base and the people from monsters and enemies, but we don’t know who will be powerful enough to take it down.” She explained that as they were helping in collecting anything salvageable. “She’s right.” Said Dull “Before I met any of you, I seen some people that could fight those goblins and one of them even said to rape some women as they all laugh.” He said as they were immediately disgusted to hear that. “I know what’s happening. Laws are worthless and the police cannot use any guns to threaten anyone to surrender without getting a bullet in through the head. They’ll try to kill us for food and land, but we must show them that we’re not easy prey for them to take down so easily.” He preached as he noticed a broken shopping cart and hit it with his mallet as it was repaired in an instant. “Now let’s collect anything that’s salvageable.” He said as moved it and collected some jars of jams, jellies, and peanut butter. Green and Bloody went to collect some non-perishable and preservative food and drinks as Max and Specter aid with the salvaging. As they were collecting, Dull noticed a goblin was collecting some bandages as it noticed Dull was watching him as it sneaked off without alerting his comrades. “Hmmm…” Max noticed Dull was staring off into space. “What’s wrong?” Asked Max. “I think a goblin was collecting supplies.” Said Dull as they all decided to follow it. They found where its base was, it was where the manager and employees eat in the back. They found a little kid telling the goblins what to do while a chubby man was wrapping a female employee of the store of a wound. “Survivors!” The group said as survivors and the goblins turned to them as the goblins snarled at them. “Stop it!” Yelled the kid as they stopped as Dull placed his knife on the floor. “We mean no harm; we’re rounding up any survivors who are willing to help and not pray for friendship to save them.” He said as his friends rolled their eyes. “Ignore him.” Said Bloody “We’re here to collect some food and fighting to live.” She said as the kid walked up to them. “Uh… my mama said I can’t talk to strangers.” “It’s okay dear.” Said the female employee. “We are the only survivors in the market. After all this horror happened, we tried to hold out.” She said as the chubby man helped her to stand up. “We were many, but the people and my co-workers were… unfortunate to work together. I am Preps, that’s my son, Tony and this is Mr. Gourd, a customer who stayed with us.” She said as the chubby man waved his hand. “Did any of you grabbed a card that appeared out of thin air?” Asked Green as they nodded. “I… uh… grabbed a card of a doctor with 2 stars.” Said Mr. Gourd. “I’ve grabbed a card with a chef on it with 1 star.” Said Preps “While my son got a card with a man with a whip with 3 stars.” She said as Tony looked at the goblins. “I… do not know what happened? When those scary goblins try to attack mommy. I said stop and some of the goblins attack their friends and help mommy and Mr. Gourd.” He said as Dull looked at him. “Perhaps the card Tony grabbed was a Monster Tamer Job. He can tame monsters into helping them instead of killing them.” He explained as the kid looked scared. “We need to leave this place.” He said as Mr. Gourd stood up. “To where?! In case you forgotten, all forms of electricity in this city are gone.” He said as they looked at him, but he covered his mouth. “Sorry. We’ve been eating snacks and vegetables that haven’t gone bad.” “Well, we’re in luck.” Said Green “I- we have a base where we have some food growing and protection.” He said as they looked at him. “I own a warehouse that is converted into a large Greenhouse that generates electricity from solar energy.” He said as they looked shocked. “REALLY?!” They said as they turned to Dull who nodded. “I can reassure you that it’s safe. Got shocked from the fence for being cocky.” He said as Bloody snickered. “But one of the building owners will have to go with you.” He said as Green & Bloody turned to him with glares. “Just to make sure that there’s no betrayal or sabotaging since trust is now a weak subject.” Said Dull as he picked up his knife and started to walk out but stop as he turned to Tony. “Uh, be sure to bring in the good goblins in so I don’t hurt them, please.” He asked as Tony waved his hand towards him as 4 goblins that had a collar around its neck went towards Tony and went behind him. “They’re all here.” He said as Dull pulled out his mallet to get to work. “We’re gonna need some carts to put in all the preserved foods. Also, we’re gonna set the rotting meat in flames to attract any monsters hiding to ambush us as we’re gonna need to level up.” Said Dull as they all nodded and went to work. 1 Hour Later Dull managed create 3 iron version of wooden carts while Bloody & Maxine managed to burn some rotting mean as they blast and slash as Mr. Gourd, Preps and Tony with his goblins watch them but were a bit scared as they look like veteran fighters in a day.

Bloody managed to butcher the goblins for their edible meat and salt to preserve them from going bad until they make it back to the warehouse. “All done! We’re going as soon as everyone is prepared!” Yelled Bloody as Tony looked at the store as his mother hugged him. “It’s alright dear. We’re saved.” She said as Mr. Gourd looked at the building. “I’m worried about those who come here to find supplies.” He said, “They’ll might be ambushed by those goblins.” Said Gourd as he was right. “That is a problem.” Said Max. *SNARL* They turned around to witness a group of 15 goblins but a bigger one carrying a spear with a huge salamander creature with a chain around its neck. “Oh boy…” They said as Dull pulled out his knives. “It looks like we found some of the stronger Goblins and they are nasty.” He said as the large goblin roared as its minions charged and its leash pet. “MEET THE DEVIL FOR ME!” He screamed as he slashed and stabbed his way through them. Bloody was a bit scared. “How much anger had he been holding in?” She asked as Green shrugged his shoulders as the big goblin snarled as it raised its fist in the air as a magic circle appeared from a rope wristband as the goblin minions’ eyes glowed. The Goblin Chief has activated the skill Wild Berserker. All the monsters (Goblins) under its command have been buffed. The Goblins had gotten stronger as Dull backed away as Bloody, Green, Max, & Specter aided him in the fight as they kept the Giant Salamander  & Goblin Minions away from Dull, he looked at the Goblin Chief. (“Wait… could that be its power.”) Dull pulled out the Iron Ingots from his Storage Skill and created a large Claymore as he charged at the goblin Chief and threw a knife at it. The Chief swat it away with its spear but Dull slashed its hand off. *ROAR* The Chief screamed in pain as the magic circle disappeared, making the goblin minions lose their extra strength as Dull dropped the sword and threw his leveled-up Goblin Knife at its face as it pierced through its neck. It screeched and fell as Dull pulled his knife from its neck “And that’s why Friendship is useless in survival.” YOU HAVE RECEIVED 50 EXP & 50 GOLD FROM DEFEATING A GOBLIN CHIEF YOU HAVE RECEIVED 10 EXP & 10 GOLD FROM DEFEATING A GOBLIN X10 Dull’s EXP: 170/400 Gold: 770 Green’s EXP: 160/400 Gold: 860 Bloody’s  EXP: 160/400 Gold: 860 Max’s EXP: 120/400 Gold: 620 Max has gained a level. [LV: 4] Specter’s EXP: 110/400 Gold: 610 Specter has gained a level. [LV: 4] The remaining Goblins got scared and fled as the Salamander roared at them as it tail-whipped Blood, Green, Max & Specter away as it headed towards the food. “IT HEADED FOR THE CARTS!” Tony ran towards it as a blue aura appeared around him and hit the Salamander. “STOP!” He yelled as the Salamander stood in place as a pet collar appeared around its neck. “Huh?” Said Dull as the Salamander wagged its tail to Tony. “It’s now my friend!” He cheered as his goblins cheered in glee. They all looked at him as they shrugged their shoulders. “Okay…” Said Dull Tony has gained levels [LV: 3] Tony had cards around him as he grabbed one and another. They looked at him as they didn’t know what he picked as Dull noticed something giving faint green glows from the Goblin Chief corpse. “Hm?” [Name Info] Name: Crude Spear Grade: Common Classification: 1 Handed Weapon Effects: None [Name Info] Name: Savage Soul Grade: Rare Classification: Bangle Effects: Increase Attack Speed  (+25%) of small build allies. Dull looked at them as he turned to the others. He picked them up as Bloody went to butcher them for their edible meat. He went to Gourd and handed him the spear. “You’ll need this to grow stronger.” He said as Gourd looked a bit scared but nodded as he went to Tony. “And this bangle is for you.” He said as Tony wore it around his wrist. “Can you please tell me what you picked from those cards?” He asked as Tony turned to his mom as she nodded. “I picked 2 skill cards. I can use [Monster Farm] & [Monster Fusion].” They looked at him as they didn’t know how to answer that. “I can store my monsters on a farm where no one can hurt them, and they can rest and create a new monster by fusing two like in the cartoons.” He said happily as all his monsters vanished as he ran to his mom. “That’s useful.” Said Bloody as they all got in the vehicle as Dull was carving something on the wall “What are you doing?” She asked as Dull looked at the wall. “Carving a message to anyone who comes here. Warning them not to enter in case more goblins make this place their new home.” NO MORE FOOD! GOBLINS HIDING INSIDE! WORK TOGETHER TO SURVIVE! BETRAYAL LEDS TO DEATH! “Kind of harsh but it’s true.” Said Max as she and Specter looked at the cards. Stats (Random) Skill (Random) Item (Random) Others (Random) Strength (Random) They both looked at each other, nodded and both grabbed a Stats Card. Max & Specter’s MP has increased by 50. They nodded as Bloody helped Max with getting her husband inside their vehicle as Green brought their car to them. “Follow us, Dull. We’ll lead you to our base.” He said as Bloody got in as they drove off and Dull drape the carts with table covers and follow them. During the drive they both stopped after witnessing some giant dragon-like monsters flying over them. They didn’t make a sound and hope the food didn’t attract them, but they flew off. They sighed in relief as they continued the drive to the warehouse. After a long drive, they made it to the warehouse as they witnessed Green’s plant guardian had some goblins stuck to its needles. Dull put his head out the window as he and the passengers looked at Green who ordered the guardian not to attack his friends as he opened the gate as they all drove in. “Welcome to our warehouse.” Said Bloody as they let Dull, Max, Specter & the survivors enter with the cart of food. “Be sure not to be wasteful because we don’t have any more internet. We have some Smart TVs connected with an old DVD/VHS Player with tons of DVDs and VHS tapes from 60 years and more ago, collected from different Thrift stores. In case we had children.” She said as she pouted. “Now feeling the irony of beginning for kids because of this hell.” She said as Green cleared his throat. “Anyway, please relax as we might need to gather mattresses, pillows and blankets for any survivors we rescue.” He said as Tony had managed to do some fusion to his goblins on the drive; turn 6 common goblins into 3 Elite Goblins. They look like the original goblins but with some muscles, 2 were carrying Prep as one help Gourd with putting away the supplies. Max rolled her husband in as they helped by planning search & rescue for survivors as Dull began making some new defenses to their new base. Night Dull managed to created Iron walls high as the electric fence as he made some defenses, weapons and armor for not only for himself but Tony’s goblins, Gourd was using his Doctor Job class to heal Tony’s new Salamander Monster as Preps was cooking meals for everyone and managed to discover that she can meals for monsters as Green and Bloody were turning the monster meat into jerky as Max and Specter managed to rewire a satellite and hook it up to a router to create a WIFI Hotspot to hook up online to see the world map on Canterlot City to see the destruction and possibly the planet but some unknown interference prevented them from seeing outside of the city and make contact to help from the outside. Before anyone could check on Dull, he came in as he was tired of the work. “I did what I could with the remaining ingots I have. I created some short swords and small armor for Tony’s Goblins as he showed everyone the 3 cannons he built. [Name Info] Name: Dull’s Iron Cannon Grade: Common Classification: Defense Weapon Effects: Fires unlimited Cannon Balls, can kill common Goblins in a single hit but will take time for larger enemies. Can be upgraded with 6 Steel Ingots. Takes 5 seconds to reload. “Whoa…” Said Everyone. “Yeah… but unfortunately. Since we witness some airborne monsters like those dragons we witnessed, we have no air defenses except Specter’s defense spell and Max’s Magic. We will have to make do with what we got until we grow stronger.” Said Dull. “Resources are a must, so with Green’s Druid Class and Max’s Elemental Mage Class, we can grow food and have a sturdy supply of water, but we don’t know if Max’ Water is drinkable. We will have to boil it to remove any contaminates, just to be on the save side.” He said as Max nodded. “We also need to practice some of our abilities.” Said Max. “If we hadn’t been with Dull, I doubt we’d survived staying where we were. Right honey?” She said as Specter nodded as he gripped his staff. “We need to not only increase our ranks but our abilities.” Said Bloody as Dull made some iron training dummies and iron walls with painted a bullseye on it as he pointed at them. “We need to practice for tomorrow. We are going to slay the boss at the Canterlot Car Lot so we can travel to the next part of the city.” He said as they looked at him “We don’t know how powerful the boss is, but we cannot underestimate it.” Spoke Dull as he put the dummies and wall away as he went to an empty room “We better rest up for tomorrow. We can’t be tired, weak, or hungry for the boss.” He said as he slid down on the ground. “So, I’m going to bed.” “Without dinner?” Said Preps as Dull’s stomach growled. “So much for looking mature.” He said as he stood back and followed Green and Bloody to the Kitchen for a nice meal but looked at the skylight window. (“Honey… Ryo… please be alive.”) Somewhere in Canterlot City A short woman was belly dancing on top of a car crash to some goblins as they tried to grab her until a pack of wolf pups attacked them by biting their necks as Honey collected their knifes as the short woman jumped off. “So how we do?” She said as Honey cut open the goblins for their stones. “You managed to attract 7 goblins.” Said Honey as she looked at her. “You still thinking about our man?” She said as Honey sighed. “I should have stayed with him Ryo. I should have stayed.” She said as Ryo patted her shoulder. “It’s alright Liquor Tits. We know he’s smart to think for himself.” Spoke Ryo as Honey smile. “Yeah… you’re right. We better go back to our temporary base.” She said as They march down an alley as the wolf pups follow them. > Survival Honey & Ryo's story > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Sure, may I have some water, please.” said the voice of a man which I would never think to hear. (“My name is Honey Stacks, I’m sexy, busty and THICC. I fucking hate my body for making me look like this. I’ve learned from my mother that I came from a long line of voluptuous women. Women who will give birth to 5 or 7 kids, my mother got skipped for her generation (Lucky). Anyway, when I was 13 years old, my body developed faster than normal girls hitting puberty and I was the target of lewd boys and jealous bitches. I spend my times crying in the park feeling cursed and alone until a nice boy talked with me about it.”) FLASHBACK, 14 YEARS AGO AT THE PARK, IN THE AFTERNOON Honey Stacks was crying on a bench in an empty park. “I… hate… my body…” She said as she continued to cry. “Uh… excuse me. Are you okay?” said a voice belonging to a guy whom I don’t want to talk to. “Leave me alone! I don’t want any guy looking at me!” She said as the unknown guy was still there. “Uh… okay?” He said as walk closer to me. “I found a phone in the grass and was wondering if it was yours?” he asked as Honey looked up to see a teen with dull purple skin, black hair, and crimson eyes and some bruises and a blackeye. “*GASP*” “Before you say if I’m part of a gang, I’m not. Just a victim of refusing Friendship is Magic.” He said as Honey was shocked. “What? But… isn’t it supposed to be magic?” She said as the teen rubbed his wounds. “If it was, then it wouldn’t show some toxic friendships.” He said as Honey paused and thought about it. “Well… I kind of saw some friendships start to become toxic.” Said Honey as she grabbed her phone. “Thank you… I’m sorry but what’s your name?” “My name is Dusk. I have a last name, but my family will disown me as soon as I’m 18.” He said as Honey frowned for him. “I’m sorry, Dusk. My name is Honey Stacks.” She said as she stood up and placed her hand on his shoulder. “It’s alright. I hope... I hope you’ll find your own happiness and ease your problems.” Said Dusk as he waved goodbye to Honey as she waved goodbye. “He didn’t even stare at my body…” She said as she felt sad that he was the 1st guy that didn’t stare at her chest. “*Sigh* why didn’t I ask for his email, or social media username.” She said as she watched him leave. 11 Years Later After a decade and one of Honey Stacks’ life, she graduated with high expectations. Honey graduated from college with a master’s degree in stocks. She does her work in the comforts of her own apartment in the nice part of Canterlot City, with a roommate she shares with Kyodaina Oka or Kyo for short. Honey was working on her laptop as she was working on funds for against Attacks for Friendship where groups of people have been assaulting others who didn’t believe Friendship is Magic. This was a threat to everyone as they’ve vandalism, assaulted and traumatized people, homes, places and vehicles. Honey was worried about her own safety as she didn’t believe Friendship is Magic since Dusk explained it had become toxic after that Rainboom Band spread their Friendship music throughout the city, the country, and the world. Honey sighed annoyed as she heard the door open behind her, she turned around to see a 4ft, 10in woman with Byzantium Skin, Flamingo Half Shaved hair and Charcoal eyes with H-Cup Rank and big butt in full-cover workout clothes. “Hey Honey, I’m back from my work out.” Said the short woman as she was heading for the bathroom. “Be sure to dry yourself before you leave the bathroom, Kyo.” She spoke. “I know, I know!” Yelled Kyo as she closed the door as Honey sighed as she closed her laptop. “I better make dinner.” Said Honey as she stood up and headed for the kitchen. 55 Minutes Later Honey was serving herself pasta and ground meat as Kyo started eating. “Eat slowly, you’ll choke.” Said Honey as Kyo slowed down. “Sorry. Tonight is Ladies’ night at the Milk Juggs and it’s gonna be ladies, ladies, & ladies!” She said happily as Honey sighed. “I hope it is, because there have been some men dressed as women to see more naked strippers.” She said as Kyo frowned but smiled. “That’s why we have our Bouncer friend, Cookie, to throw them out.” She said with a smirk as she looked at Honey. “Besides, I’m the stripper and you’re the bartender.” She said as Honey blushed. “Don’t remind me.” 10:30PM A building hidden between some skyscrapers in an alleyway had a neon sign of a woman with 2 milk churns in front of her chest and the words ‘Milk Juggs’ over the woman. Inside had a muscular woman in a black shirt and black jeans standing in the way showing that it was a strip club as some topless women danced around some people to women who were watching and making out. Honey was at the bar section and shaking a martini cocktail in a revealing dress as she poured it for a female customer. “Here you go. Shaken, not stirred.” She said as her customer tipped her in her cleavage and left. “Ugh… starting to think women are as perverted as guys.” “Be grateful for the tips.” Said Kyo as she was half naked, topless with nipple cover spinners while wearing a thong with bills in it. “The girls and I are getting tipped big.” She said happily as she held her chest to Honey as she sighed. “Hey… calm yourself. You’re only working here to relieve your boredom since the office at home is too easy for you.” She said as Honey pinched between her eyes. “Don’t remind me.” “Excuse me.” They both turned to see a man with dull purple skin, black hair, and crimson eyes in the most embarrassing mismatched outfit they’ve seen. “WHAT THE FUCK?!” yelled Kyo as her voice was being drowned by the dance music as Honey was confused. “A man? I thought this was Ladies’ Night?” She said as Kyo grabbed a knife. “It is! What the fuck are you here?! This club has ‘no men allowed’ tonight!” She said as the man sighed in annoyance. “My colleagues over there whom you dance for, brought me along with them as an extra for the 15% discount for having a group of 5 people.” He said as he was depressed. “They trick the bouncer by saying I’m ‘gay’.” He said with air quotes. “*SIGH* I don’t care about what they want. They only brought me because they know I’m worthless to them and myself.” He said as Kyo frowned hearing that as Honey signaled her for a private talk. “Is he telling the truth?” asked Honey as Kyo nodded. “I know this kind of depression. After 2 years of nursing school, and you talk and hear their personal feelings, I can help with their problems.” Said Kyo “And besides, not once or twice he tried to peek at our tits. He really doesn’t care about the naked babes like us around him.” Said Kyo as Honey looked at the guy. “Uh… do you want a drink or something?” She asked as the man nodded. “Sure, may I have some water, please.” He said as Honey looked shocked as Kyo looked down to see a note that said, ‘Anyone who chooses water and wants to stay sober, take them to the VIP lounge’. Kyo looked at Honey who nodded. “Why do you want to drink water?” She asked as the man looked at her. “I want to stay sober.” He said as they were shocked, “Besides, I’m the designated driver and have to stay sober for a bunch of drunk bitches.” He said in an angry tone as Honey and Kyo looked at each other as they talked in private. “He doesn’t seem interested in either a dance or the VIP special.” Said Honey as Kyo tried to think. “The boss did say whoever earns the chance to go to the VIP Lounge, we have to give it to him.” She said as Honey sighed but realized something. “The rules say we have to take him to the VIP Lounge, but it doesn't say we have to give him anything.” Said Honey as she smiled but Kyo frowned. “The reason you’re smiling is because you don’t have to give him a good time.” Said Kyo as Honey looked away. “It’s the rule for the Bartender in Milk Juggs.” “I don’t want to give my virginity to someone I don’t know.” She said as Kyo sighed. “Yeah, yeah, I know. You want to give your 1st time to that one guy who was nice to you.” She said with an annoyed tone “You haven’t found him but you’re still hoping you’ll meet him again.” Honey ignored her tone and cleared her throat. “Well sir, you have won the right to enter the VIP Lounge. Please come with me.” She said with a clear voice, but the man shook his head. “No thank you. I appreciate the offer, but I don’t want it.” He said as Kyo grabbed his arm and dragged him. “Sorry but it's mandatory!” She said as Honey and her took him to the VIP Lounge against his will. They brought him to a luxurious room as they tossed him to the bed. “Hey! I said I don’t fucking want this!” He said as Kyo sat next to him. “Sorry but at least, you’re away from those bitches of collages.” She said as the guy sighed. “I’ll admit to that, but I want nothing.” He said as Honey shrugged her shoulders. “Okay, the customer is right but will get a taser for being a cheapskate or going too far.” She said as she handed him a contract. “What’s this?” “A contract that states that you will face the consequences of harming anyone in this lounge.” She said as the guy looked at it. “What about emotional harm? You know if we talk about our feelings?” He said as Honey & Kyo stared at him. “No but that is something we never use in this kind of place.” Said Honey as the guy sighed and handed it to Honey. “Thank you, Mister.…” She looked at the paper and raised her brow “Dull?” “Yep, that’s my name. Dull.” He said as Kyo just looked sad. “That sounds like you changed your name.” “KYO!” Honey yelled at her as Kyo took a sip of scotch. “No, she’s right. I did change it to cut my ties to a toxic family.” Said Dull as he sighed. “It was once Dusk Sparkle.” He said as Kyo spat her drink in shock and Honey looked horrified. “WHAT?!” They both yelled. (“He’s related to a member of the Rainbooms?!”) (“He’s the same Dusk I’ve met 11 years ago?!”) “You’re related to a member of the Rainbooms?!” Yelled Kyo as Dull didn’t like to hear that. “Yes… and no. You can’t have something that belongs to my grandma.” He said as Kyo realized what he meant. “OH NO! Sorry! I didn’t mean something like that! It’s just… I thought family members of the Rainbooms would be all that happy and spreading friendship while you… uh…” “Look the complete opposite.” He finished as Kyo nodded “I left the family as they disowned me.” He said as Honey looked at him. “Because you refused to believe Friendship is Magic.” She said as Dull and Kyo looked at her. “Honey… how did you know that?” She said as Dull looked at Honey. “Honey… Honey Stacks?” He said as Honey blushed. “I didn’t think we would meet again.” He said as she looked at him. “Have you eased your problems and found your happiness?” He asked as Honey smiled. “I did ease my problems, but happiness is still far from me.” She said happily. 1 Hour Later “They beat you for just saying that you don’t see it?!” Said Kyo as she was drinking some scotch and Honey was drinking water with Dull. “Yeah, they’re horrible people, along with my sister. They praised her for making friends but in reality; she’s making personal followers for her self-proclaimed thought of being the next bearer of friendship.” He said in disgust “I went to live with my grandma Twilight when I was 16 and I showed her how her child, grandchild, and child-in-law are truly like, she’ll choose whoever gets that geode of hers.” He said as Honey looked at him. “Don’t you think you’ll get it?” She asked as Dull shook his head. “Nope, I’m not a believer. So, it's worthless to me.” He said as they frowned at his lack of confidence as Kyo whispered to Honey. “I think he is a bearer but doesn’t know it yet.” She said as Honey nodded as Dull felt his phone vibrating, pulled it out and looked at it. “Ugh… the bitches are done with their show. I better be going now.” He said he didn’t like the idea of driving a group of drunk women. He walked away as Kyo, and Honey stopped him. “Hmm?” “Here.” Said Honey as she and Kyo gave him 2 notes with a phone number on them. Dull was shocked by what was given to him. “Are you two sure?” he asked as they both blew him a kiss. He blushed as he walked out. Kyo crosses her arms. “Under all that negativity, he’s a nice person. He was raised in such a toxic family and it’s the kids of that Friendship band.” She said as Honey sighed. “I don’t blame him. My grandma did say peace for a long time can create evil from within. I’m betting that the other world will soon meet its own evil created within peace.” She said as they went back to work. 3 Years Later Honey and Kyo (Age: 26) manage to get Dull out of his self-depression by getting him to go out on dates with him to cheer him up and getting to know each other, their likes, dislikes (Dull has an extreme dislike for the Magic of Friendship) and dreams. After 5 months of dates; their relationship as friends has evolved into… a lovers’ relationship. (Author’s Note: If you’re over 18, imagine whatever they did together as lovers because this story is a survival-theme and will not have sex scenes. If you wish to complain about it, make your own.) Honey was at Milk Juggs with Kyo shaking some drinks for the customers before they got grabby. Honey was chanting with Kyo who was in an Arabian Dancer Outfit. “Hey Honey Cakes. How’s our man doing?” She said happily as Honey blushed. “Well… he’s been doing some odd jobs lately but other than that, he’s doing great.” She said as Kyo smirked. “Think he’ll ask you to marry him?” She said as Honey turned red and shook her head. “I… I… don’t know if I’m ready for that?” Said Honey “What about you? What if he asked you for his hand in marriage?” She asked as Kyo shook her head. “No fucking way. I Was asked to marry 3 times and they broke up with me because of my height. Internet dating has its uses but once they met with reality, one flaw is all it takes to break up with me. So, I’m choosing not to be wed to anyone, but I understand if you don’t want me with Dusky.” She said as Honey poured some drinks and placed her hand on Kyo’s shoulder but before she could say something, a creepy old man came to the bar and laughed. Both Honey & Kyo were confused by this stranger. “Uh… Can I help you?” She asked as Kyo backed away to signal Cookie in case it gets ugly. “*Laughing* Nah, just seeing how my daughter has grown.” He said as Honey and Kyo looked horrified. “WHAT?!” She yelled as some customers turned to yell along with the strippers as Kyo signaled them to keep doing their work as they listened. “Yeah! I’m your daddy!” Said the old man as Honey didn’t look happy. “The same daddy who left my mother for my aunt who kicked your ass for hitting on her and breaking her big sister’s heart.” She said as Honey’s dad backed away. “That was a mistake on my hand. I’m a changed man and I have someone who wants to meet you.” He said as Honey narrowed her eyes. “What?” She said as a tall and snobbish-looking man came with skin of chalk, a fancy-style emerald haircut and bronze eyes in a fancy suit, walked towards her. “Hello, I’m Great Riches.” He said in an arrogant tone as Kyo looked shocked. “Hello?” Said Honey as Great Riches stared at her which disgusted Honey. “May I help you with something, sir?” she asked in her work tone as Great Riches laughed. “Funny… My future wife makes jokes.” He spoke as Honey and the others heard it as the music stopped. “What… the fuck are you saying.” Honey said as Great Riches grabbed her wrist. “You heard what I said-” Before he could finish, he got suckered punched by a big beautiful woman with a scar across her face, Black Hole Skin with a L-Cup Bust in an all jewel design Dancer outfit with long Milk Pudding Hair and Sapphire Pink eyes. “Hands off my workers.” She said as the girls gasped. “Boss!” They said as their boss grabbed Honey’s awful father. “Hey!” He yelled as the boss knee kicked him in the gut. “OOOOFFFFEEE!” “Shut up.” She said as she dropped the old man and turned to Great Riches who was holding his nose. “You think you can enter my business, harm one of my workers and force Honey to be your fiancé. Get the fuck out of here… COOKIE!” She yelled as their bouncer lifted them both by the collars and threw them at some garbage bags. “And don’t let me ever see your garbage faces in here again!” Yelled Cookie as she slammed the door. “Miss Vizin Steadyfury.” Said Honey as Ms. Steadyfury gave her a Taser blade. “Use takes this with you. Kill their weak adulthood with this.” She spoke as Honey looked worried. “Take the night off. Kyo, take the night off as well.” She said as Kyo looked pissed. Before she could say anything, Ms. Vizin handed her a check to shut her up. “Yes, Ma’am.” She said as she went back to get dressed. Back home Honey plopped on her couch as Kyo closed the windows with curtains. “Home sweet home.” Said Kyo as she turned to Honey “But with that asshole and your father in this city, your life is ruined.” She said as Honey was annoyed. “I’m already seeing he’ll spread false rumors about it already.” Said Honey as she covered her face, but Kyo patted her head. “Don’t think so. Apparently that dick caused himself some trouble with his parents’ company by his actions. So, if he does something illegal or fabricates some rumors; it’s his ass will pay and be cut off from his riches.” Said Kyo with a smirk as Honey still looked worried. “Okay, so listen. We’ll get some sleep and tomorrow, give Dull the time of his life.” She said as Honey looked at Kyo. “Are you sure?” She asked as Kyo nodded. “Yeah & I’ll drive you there to work.” She said as Honey went to bed as Kyo shut off the lights and locked the door with some string and bells. “Those assholes better think before breaking in.” She said as she slept on the couch. The next day Honey and Kyo went about their day as they were being careful. Honey gave Dull the time of his life as she got in Kyo’s car. Kyo noticed Honey was crying. “What the fuck happen?!” She asked as she got mad “Did Dull did something against your will?!” She said as Honey shook her head. “No, I’m the one who will break his heart. I found out he wants to marry me.” She said as Kyo smiled. “Alright!” “But with that man and scum of a parent of mine out there. I don’t want anything bad to happen to him.” She said as Kyo patted her shoulder. “You were thinking with your heart.” She said as she drove to their work. Time as passed As they were prepared to leave, they ran into the Great Riches, Honey’s father and a group of men in black suits as Cookie who was beaten in front of them. One of the bodyguards, a wimpy looking guard tried to help her but couldn’t as other strippers pulled Cookie away from his boss. “I’m very sorry.” He said as he Vizin snarled at the Great Riches and his goons. “You have some balls to come back here after you were thrown out.” She said as Riches laughed at her. “I get what I was promised.” He said as Honey looked disgusted. “I know I’m gonna regret asking but what did my degenerate father promise you?” she asked as he pulled out a sheet of paper. “You for the price of 15 Mil.” He said as Vizin and her girls were disgusted. “You are a pathetic excuse of a man.” Said Vizin as the bodyguards pulled guns at them. “So, what. Don’t give a fuck.” He said smugly “Also, Wimpy you’re fired.” He said as Wimpy looked depressed. “Now give me my fiancé, now!” He demanded as they looked worried as the ground began to quake. “What the?” Said Honey’s dad. “EARTHQUAKE!!!” Yelled Kyo as they duck and cover under the tables as the quakes stopped and screens appeared over the crowd. WHAT IS THE BEST CLASS IN ORDER TO SURVIVE IN AN APOCALYPTIC WORLD? PLEASE MAKE YOUR CHOICE IMMEDIATELY. “Am I the only one noticing this?” Said a Stripper as cards with pictures of people on it with fantasy-theme clothes and a number of stars on it appeared around them as they were confused by the cards and the number of stars on them. “What the fuck is this?!” Yelled Great Riches as a card vanished as a long sword and large shield appeared in front of Vizin Steadyfury. She looked at it and lifted them with ease. “Interesting.” Said Vizin as she unsheathed the blade to see it was real itself, style and decorated for a high rank knight. She swung it like a professional knight. Great Riches and his goons as Kyo and Honey grabbed cards that looked interesting to them and vanished as they grabbed the cards. YOU HAVE SELECTED YOUR CLASS CARD. SUMMONER [★★★★★] YOU HAVE SELECTED YOUR CLASS CARD. DANCER [★★★] “What the?” Said Honey as a Large book appeared and floated near her as a long sash made of silk appeared in front of Kyo. “This is weird.” She said as she grabbed the sash. “What the fuck is going on!?” Yelled Great Riches as the other strippers, Cookie and Wimpy all grabbed cards as staffs, spears, shields, axes, a crossbow, bows with quivers and a backpack appeared as the cards surrounded Great Riches’ side vanished. He snarled as he turned to his guards. “SHOT THEM! NOW!” He screamed as the guards pulled out their guns at them. They all gasped as they tried to fire but nothing happened. “Huh?” They said as they kept trying to use their guns, but no bullets fired out. “They’re not working.” Said one of the bodyguards as they turned to see Vizin pointed her sword at them. “I suggest you surrender.” She said as the bodyguards bend down and place their hands behind their heads except for Great Riches and Honey’s Ex-Father. “Let’s get out of here!” Yelled Honey’s Dad as he and Great Riches escaped the building, leaving the bodyguards behind. “That bastard!” Said one of the guards. *SCREAMING*x2 They all turned to the screaming as the guards got up and looked concerned as 2 small green creatures they’ve never seen before, holding knives that were covered in blood. “What the hell.” Said one of the Strippers as they charged at them as Vizin killed them without mercy. “Boss…” Said Kyo as Vizin turned to them. “Something is wrong!!!” She said as everyone ran out to the club. As they ran out, they witnessed Great Riches and Honey’s father were lying on the ground and stabbed to death. Honey gasped and covered her face as everyone witnessed the destruction and dead bodies on the ground in the main street. “What’s going on?” Said Wimpy as he pulled out his phone. “No signal?” He said as everyone check their phones to see no signal. They all looked scared and worried as Honey cleared her throat to get their attention. “Uh… I think… we should stay together and learn about… those cards we grabbed to learn what we can do.” She said as some of them looked scared. “She’s right.” Said Vizin as she lifted her sword in the air. “We’ll make a shelter in the form of our club… after we take down some pictures and hide some things. Hide your dildos and vibrators ladies, we’re saving some kids.” She said as they nodded in agreement as she turned to the bodyguards. “You goons will be collaborating with us as of now.” She said they were gonna to refuse but Wimpy pointed out that the city is in shambles, strange monsters that will kill them at sight, communications are down and most importantly; guns won’t work. “Alright. We’ll work with you.” “And no raping my workers.” Said Vizin as the bodyguards turned to one who was standing between them. “I prefer men, thank you.” He said as some step away from him, in case he gets horny. “So do some of us.” Said Vizin “Now we’ll be needing food and giving alcohol to minors isn’t acceptable in this hell-ageddon. We’ll have to collect canned food since if signals are down, so is electricity.” She said “And before anyone says why this place has power, backup generator. In case those Cultist assholes wreck my business.” She said as they nodded that they have been a threat lately. “Also, we’re gonna need to gather some medical supplies and clothing but before that we should practice using our new abilities.” Said Vizin as they nodded. Honey & Kyo looked at each other to learn their new abilities. “I hope Dull is still alive?” Said Honey. “So do I, Honey. He’s smart and I think he’ll survive this hell.” Said Kyo confidently. > Survival 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inside Green Field’s Green Warehouse: everyone was sleeping inside on couches, the floor with a blanket on it, a bed, and an air mattress, all except for Dull who was staring at the skylights. *SIGH* Dull got up as he looked up and looked at the people who were sleeping. (“These people, Green, Bloody, Max & Specter… I don’t know how… we’ll… I’ll protect them.”) He shook his head in sorrow. (“I may act hollow, selfish, and hateful but to be honest; I’m scared as fuck about friendship. I have feared it ever since I was a kid, ever since my folks and everyone had become literally zombies to it. I’ve seen… how corrupted it has become. How something made from the good intentions of 6 ponies from another AU who failed to witness the malicious evil within the good? That’s an easy question; they never bother to try to find out if there were any. They’ve been so focused on the good, they believe it is purely only good. …Morons.”) Dull sighed as he went to bed as hope the next day was a good day to live. AREA HAS BEEN SEALED WITH POWERFUL MAGIC. DEFEAT THE ‘BOSS MONSTER’ TO RELEASE THE MAGIC AND OPEN THE DOOR. NOT ATTACKING THE MONSTER WITHIN THE ALLOTTED TIME WILL STRENGTHEN THE MONSTERS LOCATED AT THE CAR LOT. (03 DAYS 23:59:59) The Next Day “Again!” Yelled Tony at his Elite Goblins were wielding iron lances and jabbing scarecrows made of iron. “Again!” He yelled as they jabbed again as Green was practicing his plant magic as Bloody using the broadsword Dull made, on a large scarecrow as Max was firing spells at a large iron wall that Dull made and Specter was using his barrier skill as Tony’s new tamed Salamander’s practice dummy. Dull was making some repairs on Bloody’s Large Sword and looked out in the distance as Prep and Gourd, wearing a facemask came with a large cooking pot. “Excuse me.” Said Preps as Dull turned to her as she was a bit depressed. “Yes?” “I’m afraid that I made a blunder in this dish.” She said as Dull looked at the pot. “What’s wrong with it?” He asked as Preps opened it as the smell from it made Dull cringe in disgust as he covered his nose. “UGH!!!” He said as he backed away as the smell was blown towards the others as they all gagged by it. “OH, MY GOODNESS!!!” Yelled Green “That smell is AWFUL!!!” Yelled Bloody since she worked in a slaughterhouse. “Stinky!” screamed Tony as his monsters ran towards his mother as they started to eat the rotten food. “EEEWWWW!!!” He said as Dull held his nose. “I think you managed to make monster food that’s irresistible to them. Seeing how they’re reacting to the food.” He said as the monsters were happily eating as he looked at Miss Preps. “I guess we have a way of feeding your son’s monsters without using our reserves.” He said Miss Preps smiled a bit. “I guess my job can feed both people and monster allies.” She spoke. Preps has gained a level [LV: 2] Cards appeared as she grabbed one as it vanished. “I can now record recipes to make certain dishes that I’ve made, and ‘Monster Chow’ is now one of them. For monsters only, it restores health and stamina to allies as it's irresistible to monsters.” She said as Tony’s monsters consume all that food she made as she had an idea “If I continue to make this; we can trap some monsters and slay them, or my son can tame them.” She said as some the others looked nervous as they turned to Dull. “Uh… that’s a great idea but we'll need to collect some more air tight containers to place them in and in some streets that we can attack as they’re eating.” He said while looking uncomfortable as they nodded as they looked a bit worried about the smell. “Anyway… We’re going out to search for more survivors.” Said Bloody. “Tony, since your monsters can fight to protect, you’ll stay here with your mom as Gourd can come with us to save and heal the injured survivors.” She said Gourd looked scared, but he didn’t want to smell that monster food again as Max and Specter moved together. “We’ll stay here to protect the base from looters and monsters.” Said Max “Plus we’ll train our abilities on the scarp dummies.” She said as Specter nodded. “Good to hear.” Said Green as he follows Dull and Bloody to his Motor Caravan as they get in. “Before we could go; Max, can you charge the Caravan please?” He asked as she nodded. “Electric shot.” She said as Dull opened the hood, she fired a small bolt of electricity magic as the car batteries as it charged it to full capacity. “When I have enough resources; I can upgrade it and collect more car batteries to go farther and maybe create solar panels as I level up.” Said Dull in a hopeful tone as they enjoy the idea as Gourd, Green and Bloody hopped in. Max used the remote to open the gate as they exited the base. All 4 humans who watched them go looked worried. (“Stay alive and be safe. I may not be able to talk anymore, and my legs no longer function but I have fate that they’ll succeed.”) Thought Specter as he watched them leave. In the streets Dull had Gourd driving through streets as he dismantled any wreckage vehicles into ores, in their way as they stopped to witness a truck with a huge tanker. “Go around Gourd. Even if I dismantle this; I’ll release a wave of oil and one spark is needed to cause an explosion.” He said as Gourd drove another way as he looked wary of any non-monster danger. As they continued their drive; bloody was noticing something odd as in their drive. “Where are the goblins? I know this city is infested with them but isn’t it odd how they haven’t attacked us yet?” Wonder Bloody as Dull noticed the flaw and looked around as they were in an area with no goblins. “Either we frighten them away or they’ve gathered to a stronghold?” Said Dull as they looked at the GPS for the Car Lot. “It’s at least 6 miles from our location.” He said as they headed for the lot. After a 10-minute drive, they made it to the lot and stopped far enough so the goblins who gathered there hadn't spotted them. “So, there they are.” Said Bloody as Green saw many vehicles stacked up into wall-like barricades. “Something tells me that they’re protecting their leader AKA the boss we need to take down to remove that barrier.” Said Dull as Gourd looked worried. “You said if we don’t defeat the boss in the time limit, the monsters here will become stronger, yes?” He said to Dull who frowned. “I’m afraid so. Even if we’re stronger, if they get stronger, they’ll fight with their brains and attack us in a mob.” Explain Dull as they watched the goblins as a gate opened from the barricade as a mob of goblins marched out as they were holding a moving throne as a large Goblin was riding on it as they marched out. “Holy… shit…” Said Gourd as Dull narrowed his eyes. “That’s the boss we must kill.” He said as Gourd cried a bit. “We’re doomed.” He said as Dull turned to the Goblin Base. “Maybe not.” Said Dull “If I know about divide and conquer. You strike them when your enemy is overconfident with themselves.” He said as he pointed to the Goblin Base as Green and Gourd were confused but Bloody knew what he was talking. “We take over their base and you make cannons to blast them after they come in.” She said as he nodded. “Yeah, after we kill the goblins inside.” He said as they saw the mob of Goblins was out of sight. “My guess is that they’re hunting.” Said Bloody. “For food or humans.” Said Green as he had a cactus plant and turned it into a plant guardian. “Draw their attention.” He said as he gave the monster food Prep made. “Open this when they see you.” Green instructed the plant guardian as it nodded and marched towards the wall as some goblins witnessed it. One screeched to the others as one was about to blow a horn until the plant guardian opened the container with monster food as the goblins paused as they smelled the food as they dropped their weapons and jumped towards the guardian. “NOW!” Yelled Dull as they all charged to kill the goblins, including Gourd with his spear as they attacked the goblins as they were in a trance by Prep’s meal. Dull and Bloody hack and slash, Green bash as Gourd stabbed his way. Through hard work and a smelly food that’s disgusting to humans, they killed 10 goblins. YOU HAVE RECEIVED 10 EXP & 10 GOLD FROM DEFEATING A GOBLIN X10 Dull’s EXP: 170/400 Gold: 770 Green’s EXP: 160/400 Gold: 860 Bloody’s EXP: 160/400 Gold: 860 Gourd has gained level [LV: 2] “Let’s head in!” Yelled Bloody as they jumped the barricade as they discovered something shocking; not only they were human corpses within the barricade but captured humans as well. “Oh my…” said Green as Dull noticed some of the corpses were that group of people he saw that planned to kill the boss and rape any women they find. (“Fools.”) Thought Dull as he turned to the captured injured humans; 3 Teenagers (One Male & 2 Females, one wearing a jester’s outfit and one in normal clothes), One Female adult and one adult in a black trench coat, black gloves and his face wrapped up in black bandages. Green and Bloody broke free the prisoners as the male adult jumped out and pulled out a short blade at them. “(Male Russian Voice) When do the fields cry?” He said as Bloody was about to draw her blade until Dull stopped her. “After the ram sees his ewes naked as a badly shaved head.” He said as the man withdrew his weapon. “Ahh… Mr. Dull. How good is it to see you again in this destructive world.” Said the man as Gourd turned to Dull. “You know this… gentleman?” He asked as Dull turned to the group. “Everyone, this is Clandestine. The man who dedicated his life to finding the conspiracies in our world.” He said as Clandestine looked around. “A man who also noticed the corruption within that Magic of Friendship shit that I’ve been warning everyone about.” He said angrily. “Through his hatred for his family’s obsession, might have a connection to the planet’s situation.” Said Clandestine which causes some shocking looks “Unknown destruction to all, playing cards that give people weapons, magic, and abilities that are impossible to human nature. It is a strong possibility for this to be connected to the alternative universe’s magic. A dark effect due to all humans becoming emotionally rotten for it.” He said as one of the teens turned to him. “But… Friendship is Magic. We were told it's only good!” He said as Clandestine turned to him. “True but everyone is capable of good and evil. Why didn’t they warn of all its possibilities for evil? Because no one bothers to think about it, and we are paying the consequences for our negligence.” He said as he jumped up to the barricades “So long comrades, perhaps we will meet again. Now I vanish mysteriously.” He said as he dropped a smoke bomb, but they heard a loud sound from the garbage cans and a painful yelp. “Vanishing mysteriously needs more improvement.” He said as everyone heard him. “He’s a bit weird isn’t he?” Green asked Dull. “Yeah but resourceful.” He said as he turned to the rest of the prisoners. “We are going to fight those goblins.” Said Dull as they cried in fear. “Excuse me sir.” Said the female adult “We witnessed their strength, and we don’t think we can handle them. The last group we’ve met and said would protect us would cost them their lives.” She said as they looked at the pile of weapons. “We know what we’re doing.” Said Bloody. “We have not only experience to handle a group in combat but some creative aid from a craftsman.” Said Green as he waved his hand to Dull. “I can create some defenses, but we need to work together.” Said Dull “We will not allow anyone to half-ass this battle because some of us refuse to die. Now… are you in or out?” Said Dull as the remaining four looked at each other as one nodded. “Very well but I don’t know if we can be useful." Said the Female adult "My name is Suzie. I picked up a card that said I’m an Herbalist with 2 stars.” She said as the male teen walked up. “I’m Simply. I accidently touched a card and became a Farmer with one star.” He said as the other two girls walked up. “I’m Tricky and got a Jester card with 2 stars.” “And I’m Song Note. I’m a Bard with 1 star.” She said sadly as they grabbed their gear, a Lute, a hoe, a backpack, and a Toon-Like Hammer. “Let’s face it, we’re not powerful enough to take down that army of Goblins. We’ll be the unfortunate ones when they get back in an hour.” “That’s how long they hunt with their leader.” Said Simply. “They find any humans and capture them and lock them in a cell to eat for the next day. We’re their next dinner.” He said as they all looked scared as Dull pulled his hammer. “We are going to prepare for the fight, and we have to know our abilities and combine abilities we can do together.” Said Dull as he whacks the car as it dismantles into ingots. “I’ll make the defenses and weapons as you all practice, remember to work together to survive!” He said as he continued what he was doing. “Gourd! You should pick what random card you need for the battle. Choose wisely as we’ll make use of what you can do.” He said as Gourd chooses his card. 50 Minutes Later [Synergy List] 1] Healer Group Class: Synergy Class Conduction: More than 3 who specialize in Nature Magic and Healing Effect: 10% HP Increase to base HP, 5% HP Recovery per minute. The barricade of cars piled on top of each other was replaced with high walls of iron as there were 10 cannons mounted on top and 10 below and potted plants at the base of the walls as he had created a ton of ingots (300 to be exact due to some of the cars being huge and some were new models which used more metal. 150 Iron Ingots as he managed to collect from older cars and 150 Steel Ingots from the newer vehicles). Dull snarled as Bloody went to him. “What’s wrong?” She asked as he turned to her. “The new Steel Ingots I collected. I can’t use them unless I learn some new blueprints but that won’t happen unless I level up again and gain it in a 1 in whatever chance.” He said that he used some of the Iron Ingots to make some one-handed weapons to use for the survivors, a sickle, a light mace and a Khopesh. Simply take the sickle, Suzie took the Khopesh and Song Note took the light mace as they practiced their new weapons as they heard a loud horn. They turned to the sound as Dull narrowed his eyes as he gripped his dagger. “They’re here.” He said as they all climbed the stairs to see the army of goblins as their leader snarled. *ROAR* “They’re here!” Yelled Simply as the goblins screeched as they charged at the barricade. “Eat this!” Yelled Bloody as she threw a plastic container as the survivors looked confused until the container opened by the impact as the smell disgusted them even when they’re far from it. “Oh my god!” Yelled Tricky “What the fuck is that?! Shit?” “Monster chow.” They all said as the goblins fought for the food. “FIRE!” Yelled Dull as a cannon fired and another fired in a 3 second gap from each other killing goblins per shot.

The Goblins had gotten stronger as Dull, Bloody, & Green backed away as they group together as Green used his magic to manipulate the plants to raise them over the barricade as the goblins charged as the cannons fired at them as some of the goblins tried to catch them. “We have a problem.” Said Dull as they looked at the Goblin Captain smirked at them. “It’s taunting us.” Said Bloody as Dull pulled out Steel Ingots as he began to craft something stronger. “Hold them off as I work on a new weapon.” Said Dull as he went to work as Bloody, Green prepares to fight as well as Gourd and the rest of the survivors. “Let me help you all.” Said Song Note as she played a song on her lute as everyone glowed a flash blue. All allies’ defenses have buffed for a temporary moment. They cheered as Dull continued on his work. “Here they come! Man, the cannons!” Yelled Bloody as they stood behind the cannons. “FIRE!” They all yelled as cannons fired on the goblins as it took 3 cannonballs to take out one Goblin as they all charged and climbed the walls as the Goblin Captain march towards the wall as they began to climb the wall as Tricky pulled out her Toon Hammer as the side of it opened and fired an extended arm with a boxing glove as it smashed a goblin’s head in. “Holy crap… it’s like those oldie cartoons from the 1930s.” She said as one Goblin nearly sliced her but she backflipped and swung her hammer at it. “Don’t stop! Fight!” Yelled Bloody as she slashed some goblins’ heads off as she and the others stabbed and slash them away. Dull continued what he was doing until he nearly got attacked but Suzie attacked it before it could stab him. “Thanks.” Said Dull. “No problem!” She yelled as she attacked some more. Dull kept hammering away as he grabbed the handle of his new weapon. “It’s done!” He yelled as he lifted his new sword. [Item Info] Name: Liuyedao Grade: E Classification: One-Handed Weapon Effects: N/A Dull got up and turned to the goblins that were climbing and with one slash had severed the heads of 6 goblins. “Whoa…” Said the survivors as the goblins witnessed the demise of their commons and started to back away. The group of goblins has been affected by fear of death (Stage 1) and lost their buff! Their stats have decreased by 40%! Dull watched as the goblins jumped off the walls and fled for their lives but the Goblin Captain smashed some of the goblins who were escaping. *ROAR* “I can see that monster will allow deserters to leave alive.” Said Bloody as both her and Dull raised their blades. “Care to help me?” “If you promise me to give that sword of yours an upgrade.” He said as Bloody gave him a thumbs up as they both jumped off and as they both charged and slashed the goblins in their ways as they attacked the Goblin Captain as it blocked their attack. “Have another boost from me!” Said Song Note as she played a song as they felt a bit stronger. All allies’ strengths have buffed for a temporary moment Dull and Bloody both felt they’re getting stronger as they’re blades went through the Goblin Captain’s club and sliced its chest as it screeched in pain. Dull crouched down and slashed its legs off as Bloody slashed its arms off. “ROAR IN PAIN* The Goblin Captain was on his back flailing like a fish out of water as the remaining goblins abandoned their captain. *ROAR* “Shut up.” Said Dull as he kicked it in the head as Bloody brought the others with her. “Okay, everyone.” he said as he gave his Goblin Knife to Suzie as they surrounded the Captain as it was panting in fear as they raised their weapons. “NOW!” He yelled as they all smashed, stabbed and bash the captain as it let out its last breath.

[LV: 6] Dull smirked as he grabbed the Item Card as a bag of golden powder fell as he caught it. “What’s this?” He wondered as the others grabbed their cards. [Item Info] Name: Golden Dust Grade: Unique to Synergist Classification: Magical Upgrade Effects: Strengthens the ability of Synergist’s Hammer to craft next rank tools in an instant. “Huh… Impressive.” He said as he poured it on the Hammer as it shines a bright light as it looked a bit brand new.

Non-Weapon – cannot damage enemies, can only be used by a Synergist. Can only craft E-Grade or below Tools in an instant. “What just happened?” Asked Gourd. “That powder was made to upgrade my hammer. I no longer need to take time with new crafting stuff.” He said as Bloody smirked and showed her sword. “Sweet. Now… Can you make my sword stronger?” She asked as Dull looked at them and nodded. “Sure, after we harvest the magic stones.” “What magic stones?” Asked Simply. 20 Minutes Later “That was the most revolting thing I just did.” Said Tricky. “Well, it’s not as bad as what Ms. Bloody is doing." Said Gourd as they turned to see Bloody was using her ‘Butcher’ skill to harvest edible meat from the goblins as Green and some of the others helped pile the corpses in a pile as Green dumped some gasoline on corpses and set the pile a blaze to prevent unknown diseases from spreading in the air. “Are you sure that’s edible?” Asked Tricky. “It’s not like the electricity is still working. Portable Generators are what is left to fuel a building.” Said Green as he looked surprised. “We better find some of those.” He said. “We don’t know if my personal generator won’t overload?” Dull and the others nodded as Dull drove his vehicle to them. “Okay before we leave this hellhole of an area before it gets dark; we better collect some mattresses and maybe a garden store.” He said as they looked at each other, they remembered that Simply is a Farmer, he can grow food. They carried all the edible meat to the extra carriage as they all climbed aboard. “Okay remember to wear your seatbelts and we will stop to avoid the dragon-like monsters.” He said as he turned to the others as they looked worried as Dull drove to some of the plant, mattress, and camping stores. 2 Hours Later Dull was driving as one of the carriages had many mattresses in them as they collected some pots, seeds, and fertilizers. They drove back to the Green’s Warehouse as they witnessed some Goblins were fleeing after some being killed by an instant. “I see my defenses are still working.” Said Dull as the gate opened as they entered their base. “Welcome to our new base.” Said Green as the survivors were surprised as Max, Specter, Mrs. Preps, and her son, Tony, riding on his new monster appeared. “Welcome back!” Mrs. Preps said as she welcomed the new incomers. “Whoa… I heard of people owning a warehouse but didn’t think it would be used like this.” Said Tricky as Dull helped bring what they collected inside. “We need to make some changes to the base.” He said, “Also we need to introduce ourselves to each other as we need to work together.” He said as they followed him as they carried the supplies inside. Later at night Dull was upgrading the iron walls and iron cannons, turning them into Steel Walls & Steel Cannons. [Name Info] Name: Dull’s Steel Cannon Grade: Common Classification: Defense Weapon Effects: Fires unlimited Cannon Balls, can kill Chief Goblins & Lower Goblins in a single hit and injure larger enemies and slow them down due to bruising. Can be upgraded to provide aerial defense when Synergist creates C-Rank tools. Takes 4 seconds to reload. Dull even made the base area a bit larger for Simply to make some fields to grow some food. He grabbed some Skills cards to grow not only food but materials supplies like cotton or medical herbs and create a seed for either a tree or vegetables. Tricky picked an Item and Skill card that gives her shoes that can make her lightweight for her acrobatics and a skill that any enemy she defeats solo or in a group would gain a chest with a supply of bonus gold or a card with an enemy skill or bit of its stats. Song Note chose some Skill Cards that let her play a song that confuses enemies to attack their allies and a song to mesmerize enemies. Suzie chose an Item Card and a Stat Card that gave her a chemistry set to create some healing potions and a +2 Stamina. Max & Specter both gain a level as Mrs. Preps and her son gain a level to gain some cooking skills as Tony can gain an extra ally as Gourd learns some healing magic and medical supplies like bandages and surgery tools when he gains that skill as both Specter and Max increased their HP by 30. Dull sighed as he looked out as he made a hidden door on the steel wall for an emergency escape route. “Where are you going?” Said a voice as Dull turned around to see Bloody. “Practicing an escape route.” He said, “I’m going to map out an escape route in case we need to abandon the base.” Explained Dull as Bloody sighed. “Alright but don’t abandon us.” She said as Dull narrowed his eyes to her. “I know, you’re someone who refuses to side with friendship.” She said as Dull walked out as he searched for a route that is both safe and hidden from monsters. Dull made it to the city as he maps out the area as he heard something coming as he hid in a darken area as he witnessed a large Sabretooth tiger searching for something as Dull was holding his blade as it came closer to Dull’s hiding area as he stabbed it through the neck as it began to vaporize into light. “What the fuck?” He said as he noticed some odd “No experience or gold?” He said as he heard some voices. “Holy shit!” Said a voice as he witnessed a large muscular man in a black suit holding some chains and 3 women holding some spears. “Where did Kitty go?” Said one of the women who looked around. “If it isn’t here… We better leave quickly!” The 2nd woman said as they all headed back as the 3rd woman looked around and left the area. Dull came out and narrowed his eyes. “Where is their base? Wonder if they’re friend or foe? Also, Non-FIM.” He said as he followed them while hiding. 10 Minutes Later Dull saw them headed for an alleyway as he narrowed his eyes. “Hmmm… why does this area feel familiar?” He said as he walked out only to stop to see something in the distance, a large muscular pig monster holding a dead goblin in one paw and a large ax in the other as it tossed it into a pile of dead goblins. “Shit…” He said as he hid behind a wrecked car. “Is that… an orc?” He said it sniffed around the area as it snorted and squealed as it charged towards a wreck car as it continued to sniff around. “I can’t let it live.” He said as he gripped his weapon as the orc turned to where Dull was as it leaped in the air as Dull rolled out of the way as it smashed the car Dull was hiding. “DAMN IT!” He yelled as Dull attacked it, but the Orc blocked his blade as it roared in front of Dull as he jumped back to avoid its punch as Dull pulled out one of his new cannons. “FIRE!” He yelled as his new cannon fired at the orc, but it endured the attack. “What?!” He yelled as it smashed his cannon in front of him. *ROAR* “SHIT!!!” He yelled as he got punched in the gut. “GAH!” He said as he was sent flying across the road as he rolled in pain. *Roar* The Orc marched towards Dull as he was gasping in pain as his sword was away from him. “Damn… it…” Said Dull as the Orc was in front of him, lifting its axe in the air. (“Bloody… Green… Kyo… Honey… I’m sorry.”) He thought as he shut his eyes that he was going to die. Until he heard a roar. *ROAR* Dull opened his eyes as 5 of those Sabretooth Tigers “Huh?” The orc was trying to get the tigers from it as Dull tried to get up and grabbed his weapon. “Need to… kill it…” He said as was gasping for it as one of the tiger’s bite the orc’s arm which caused him to drop his weapon as Dull charged towards the orc and stabbed it in the neck as it gasps for air as Dull pulled out his enforced Goblin Knife and jabbed it into its forehead through its skull as he pulled them out as he fell on his knees. You have received 50 EXP & 140 Gold from defeating an Orc Patrol Scout. “Scout…” Said Dull as he lost consciousness as 2 shadowy beings were carrying makeshift torches as the Sabretooth Tigers sniffed at Dull as the two shadowy beings. “*GASP* DUSK!” A little while later Dull was slowly waking up in a bed in a familiar place. “Ugh… what the fuck?” He slowly got up but felt the pain where the orc punched him “Fucking pig. If Bloody was with me, we’ll be having bacon for breakfast.” He said as a leaf landed on him as his pain disappeared. “What the?” “That’s a Leaf of Life.” Said a familiar voice. “It heals all wounds.” Dull turned to see Kyo in an Arabian Dancer’s outfit with Honey. “Hi darling.” Said Honey as Dull blushed and covered his crotch. “God damn boner.” He said as Kyo and Honey hugged him. “It’s alright handsome.” Said Honey. “We still love you.” Said Kyo as they both kissed him as Dull freaked out in seeing the one woman who scares him. “Madam Vizin Steadyfury!” He said in a scared tone as she waved her hand. “It’s alright Dusky baby.” She said “After what we’re going through, my rules don’t work in apocalypses. Just hoping some fools don’t rape and want their wangs sliced off.” She said as She turned around and looked at Dull. “Promise you take care of them.” She said with a smirk as she shut the door. “Just don’t break him girls.” She said as Honey and Kyo pile on top of him. > Survival 4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “I really need to go!” Yelled Dull as he was trying to get out of bed as he was naked, along with Honey & Kyo. “No! Stay!” Begged Kyo as she and Honey were keeping Dull in bed. “Sorry Dull but I want to make it up to you after breaking your heart by leaving you!” She yelled as she pulled Dull towards her cleavage. Dull turned his head out of the cleavage. “I already forgive you! I mean you two made me forgive you 6 times! I don’t have infinite stamina!” He yelled as Madam Vizin came in. “Girls… I know you love him, but I want his help before you both drain him to death.” She said as she ordered both Kyo and Honey to let Dull go as he quickly got dressed as Vizin escorted him out. “How do you manage those 2, I’ll never know?” She wondered. “I… rather not talk about it. It was mostly anything that doesn’t involve friendship.” He said as Vizin placed her hand on his shoulder. “Good thing. The talk about friendship is about as polluted as toxic waste.” She said as she turned to Dull “Tell me Friendship’s Bane. How did you manage to survive through the ordeal of hell?” She asked. “I… managed to gather some allies and some friends I know and trust.” He said as he refuses to say only friends. “We’re using my friend’s custom Warehouse/Greenhouse as our base. I can create some weapons, armor, tools, defenses, and walls. I even created a Motor Caravan with some carts from turning wrecked Motor Caravans into materials for my work.” He explained as Vizin nodded. “Hmmm…” She showed her weapon & shield as she started to show some weakened durability. “Can you fix this up?” She asked as Dull pulled out his mallet and tapped it as it was instantly restored. “Damn! You picked a good card.” “Well… it didn’t have stars, but I think it’s one of a kind.” He said as he looked at Vizin “What was yours?” “A High Knight, 4 stars. We were as shocked as you as well.” She said, “We witnessed some monsters after the death of Honey’s deadbeat father and the man he tried to sell her off to a rich dick.” Explained Vizin as Dull turned to her. “WHAT?!” He said as Vizin covered his mouth “Sorry.” “Yes… but they tried but failed and it cost them their lives.” Said Vizin. “We tried to find survivors but couldn’t. Corpses and people going mad in this hell made it impossible to find some who haven’t gone mad and are willing to join us.” She said as she crossed her arms. “Tell me Dull, how many of those who are willing to be saved without praying on the hopes of Magic of Friendship to save them?” She asked. “Not many, only a few; adults, teens and a child.” Explained Dull. “Some are willing to fight to live as some want to protect their loved ones.” He said as he turned to Vizin. “I believe I can unlock more abilities without leveling up, but I need some help because I’m only one man.” He said as Vizin placed her hand on his shoulder. “Very well. We’ll help but not now. You need some rest, especially after what your future wives did to you.” She said as Dull groaned. “Don’t remind me. Why did they do that anyway?” He wondered. “Maybe to have some part of you they both can carry.” Said Vizin as Dull turned red. “Oh… But I’m not dropping dead. I fought against an army of Goblins and took out the boss of the area. We can leave this area to go to another part of the city. I don’t know what’s ahead but that orc I fought was a bit tougher than I thought. I would have died but if it wasn’t for those sabretooth tigers, I would have been dead.” He said as Vizin smirked. “Those are Honey’s kitties.” She said as Dull looked at her “Apparently her job is a ‘Summoner’. She can summon these creatures that can fight or aid us in battle.” I’ll let you know about them in the morning.” She said as she waved farewell to Dull “See ya later, come back here in daytime. Avoid the Wyverns.” She said as Dull headed back to the base as Vizin sighed “I hope those in his base can be trusted.” She said quietly as Cookie came with Vizin. “I hope they have some medical supplies and food.” She said as Vizin placed her arm around Cookie. “It’s alright baby. He’s smarter than we think.” She said as she got Cookie to look at her. “Plus, he isn’t against romances.” Said Vizin as Cookie kissed her on the lips as they went back inside the club. Dull made it back to the base as he met with an angry Bloody. “Shit.” He said as Bloody pulled him in and slammed the door. “You have better explained how it took you 3 hours to make an escape path?!” She yelled at him as Dull groaned. “I found some survivors that we can gain as allies.” He said as Bloody still looked pissed. “It’s Honey and Kyo.” He said as Bloody looked surprised and happy. “Really!? This is great! I can’t believe that…” She paused, “Wait a minute… Did you-” “THEY… showed how much they missed me.” He said as Bloody was flabbergasted. “I know how much they both love you but that explains why you took that long.” She said, “Are they the only survivors?” Asked Bloody as Dull shook his head. “No… their boss and co-workers are alive as well.” He said as Bloody smacked her forehead. “Oh shit… I hope they’re wearing appropriate clothing.” She said as Dull turned to her. “Look around. You can get any kind of clothes without paying now that money is worthless in the apocalypse. No… having space is what we must deal with. We have beds and food but even though the base is a warehouse, it doesn’t have unlimited space.” He said as Bloody looked around for something to use as space. “Can’t you expand like before?” She said as Dull nodded. “I could but we have to make the area close to us and enough metal to make defenses for them, so the monsters don’t kill them. I refuse to use people as living bait. I have a heart and common sense.” He said as Bloody tried to put some thought into it and realized something. “Wait a moment! I believe I know an area that’s perfect for a survivor’s camp.” She said but let out a yawn “But first. Some sleep.” She said as Dull followed her inside to sleep. Morning or 10AM Dull was sleeping longer as Bloody managed to talk with her husband, Max, Specter, and the survivors they saved about the group Dull had found. “I’m happy that Dull was thinking of an escape route but…” Paused Green as he turned to Tony. “Can some of them keep their… business to themselves?” He said as Miss Preps hugged her son. “I don’t want to refuse their aid because of what they do but we need to make some ground rules.” She said Tony didn’t understand. “Mommy? Are they bad people?” He asked as everyone shook her head. “No.” Said Max “They… have some things that adults do. Boring things you can’t understand until you're 21.” She explained as Tony understood that as he went to play with his monsters. “Uh… so… they’re strippers.” Said Simply as Tricky hit his arm. “We know that but there is a kid here and we don’t know if they’ll be appropriate for them to be near the kid.” She explained as Bloody got their attention. “Don’t worry, I have a plan for it. I told Dull about a recycling plant around the warehouse where not only he can get his materials for weapons and tools but maybe some other creations that he could make. Maybe plastic and glass he can create.” She said as others think about it and nodded the use for glass and plastic can be used for. “Alright.” Said Max “But if they dare to rape and try to kill us for our base, we have the right to defend ourselves.” She said as she and her husband gripped their staff tightly. “Okay… but I doubt there are those who are dumb enough to do that. I mean there are those flying monsters they must deal with.” Said Bloody as she told her husband where to go. “I’m taking Dull to a location for more resources but some of us should stay. Simply, can you make some acorns? I have some ideas, but we’ll need some wood plus with my husband’s help could speed the process.” She said as Simply clutched his hand into a fist and created 5 acorns. “I can do it but… this is all I can create for the day.” Said Simply as Green planted them in places apart from each other as he raised his staff as the acorns began to grow quickly from becoming sprouts to saplings to fully grown trees. Green nearly fell on his knees as it nearly took all his MP to grow them. “That was exhausting.” Said Green. “Don’t be reckless.” Said a voice as they turned to see Dull who was a little groggy. “We can’t have anyone personally killing themselves for others.” He said as Bloody helped him feel stable. “You okay mister?” Asked Tony. “Just a little tired.” He said “Listen, after my exploration for an escape route. I met a new monster other than goblins, an orc.” He said that some were surprised, and some were confused. “What’s an orc?” Asked Tony. “A big pig that walks on 2 legs.” Explained Bloody. “And it is tough with and without a big ax.” He said. “That pig may be walking bacon but with a strong sense of smell that will find you even if you’re hiding.” Explained Dull as they looked a bit worried. “I’ll head out for that location, Bloody told me after we bring the Kyo, Honey, Lady Vizin & their survivors.” He said as they looked at him. “You okay?” Asked Tricky. “I mean you can still sleep for a bit longer.” She asked as Dull nodded. “I’m fine. I’ll take a nap as Green or Bloody drives there.” He said as he let out a yawn. “Besides, if I have some ideas for enforcing our Motor Caravan with some new metal and maybe add a cannon or assault weapons to pierce some enemies.” He said as Tony looked scared. “You don’t have to come if you don’t want Tony.” He said as Mrs. Preps hugged her son, but he shook his head. “I… I want to help!” He said as his monsters appeared; the giant salamander and 3 strong looking goblins wearing armor. “I… want to tame more goblins but… I don’t want to hurt them.” He said as Dull patted his shoulder. “Don’t worry. I have a humane way of capturing them without harming them. Dull pulled out the Steel Ingots and created 3 poles with big dull 2 fork teeth. “What are those?” Asked Mrs. Preps “They’re Sasumatas. A feudal weapon made for capturing enemies unharmed.” He explained as the goblins grabbed them, stood tall and proud. “Okay, I’ll make some weapons for your goblins after we gather our new allies.” He said as Dull walked to the Motor Caravan as they all gathered in to see him upgrade the Motor Caravan. [Name Info] Name: Motor Caravan Grade: E Classification: Vehicle Weapons: Roof Cannon, Plow, Front Ramming Spears Effects: Durability: 500/500, Electric Fuel: 300 Miles. Durability will drop by hitting monsters, people, and humans. Capacity: 28 People; 1 Driver, 1 Co-Driver, 26 Passengers Everyone climbed in as Dull started it up. “Okay everyone! Let’s head out!” He yelled as the gates opened as he drove off to the strip club. It took 10 minutes to get there as it took 50 minutes on foot for Dull as he slowed down to point something up ahead. “There’s the new enemies I talked about!” He yelled as they witnessed a squad of 5 orcs ahead of them. “Yikes!” Said Gourd. “I thought they were fat.” He said as Dull snarled. “I nearly died because of one of them.” He said as they got out of the caravan they pulled out their weapons except for Tony as Dull gave his goblins chains. “Here. Tell your Goblins to wrap an orc up with these chains.” He said as a stat showed what they are. [Name Info] Name: Steel Chains Grade: E Classification: Metal Links Effects: Use as a rope to capture an enemy or lift something that weighs 120 LB or less. “We’ll only capture one to see if you can tame the orc with your powers.” Said Dull as they prepared to fight. “Ready?” Said Bloody as they all gripped their weapons. “Ready!” They all said Tricky did some acrobatics to get the orcs’ attention and Song Note looked prepared. “Let me help you all.” Said Song Note as she played a song on her lute as everyone glowed a flash blue. ALL ALLIES’ DEFENSES HAVE BUFFED FOR A TEMPORARY MOMENT. All glowed a flash blue including Tony’s monsters as Tricky threw rocks at the orcs as they squealed and charged after her as she jumped towards her allies as Dull pulled out 3 of his cannons. “FIRE!!!” Yelled everyone as the cannons fired, hitting 3 orcs in the snout, the arm, and abs, stopping them a bit. The orcs that didn’t get attacked attack Max and Simply who pulled out the Tire Shields Dull made, as the orcs attack the shields, their axes got stuck as they couldn’t pull them out. “Now!” Yelled Dull as Bloody and the rest of the survivors attack the injured orcs. Tony got 3 of his Goblins to wrap the orcs whose weapons got caught in the Tire Shields as Suzie opened a bottle in front of the orcs as they took a whiff of it as they looked a bit groggy. Tony ran to the 2 orcs as he released a blue energy at them as only one of them got a collar as the other snarled. MONSTER TAME SUCCESSFUL! ‘ORC TROOP’ IS NOW YOUR ALLY. MONSTER TAME UNSUCCESSFUL!

YOU HAVE RECEIVED 20 EXP & 70 GOLD FROM DEFEATING AN ORC PATROL TROOP. Dull EXP: 70/600 Dull’s Gold: 1860 Dull turned to Tony “Sorry.” He said. “It’s okay. I played video games that make monsters your friends and saw monsters that won’t become friends.” He explained as his Goblins released their new orc friend as they turned to Tony. “You better return your monsters to your farm.” Said Dull “I don’t think my friends and their friends can handle good monsters. Until they meet you.” He said Tony sent them away for their safety as Honey and Kyo came out of an alley. “Dusk!” They yelled as Dull shushed them. “That is no longer my name.” He said as they nodded. “Right… forgot about that.” Said Kyo as she smirked “Anyway we missed you. Especially…” Honey stopped her and pointed to a child with Dull. Kyo’s eyes widened and cleared her throat. “We miss giving you the biggest hug that you gave us.” She said while trying to censor herself. “Yes!” Said Honey, “The biggest hug that makes us happy to be together again!” She said as they both smiled at Tony as he looked at them. “Oh… you must be the best of friends.” He said. (“More than just friends, kid.”) They all said in their heads as Vizin came out of the alley in a big coat with the others. “I see you manage the enemies.” She said as Bloody was carrying meat as alone with the others with large and small bones which surprised them. “Where did you get that meat?” Said one of the men in black suits. “Where do you think? The walking pigs.” Said Bloody as they place the meat in large trash bags as they place large bones in as well. “BONES?!” They yelled as Bloody turned to them. “What?” She said, “I thought Dull can make something out of them?” She said as Dull grabbed one of the bones and examined it. [Item Info] Name: Orc Bone Grade: E Classification: Material/Weapon Effects: Can be used as a club or until [Craftsman], [Blacksmith], or [Synergist] can create something out of them. Dull smirked, “I can think of something out of them.” He said as Honey and Kyo looked a bit worried. “Is the meat edible?” Asked Kyo as Bloody smirked. “Don’t worry girls. One of my skills is called ‘Butcher’. I can take edible food from a fresh carcass, so any monster meat we collect is edible for humans to eat. If we don’t think about where the meat came from.” She said as Dull cleared his throat. “We have to make do with what we have.” He said “Besides, all matters of fresh meat have gone rotten due to the power being cut in some places.” Explained Dull as he collected the bones and sent it to his storage skill. “I think I can make something from them.” Vizin walked to see the vehicle. “This is something I find interesting. How did you make it?” She asked. “A lot of ingots and car batteries.” Explained Dull as Vizin climbed in, along with Cookie, 5 of her employees, the wimpy looking guard and 4 of muscular guards as Kyo and Honey climbed aboard. “I wonder if you can make another one?” Asked Kyo. “I can but we need more Car Batteries.” He said as his group climbed aboard as Vizin looked back. “I’m gonna miss my building.” She said as Dull turned to her. “If we’re lucky and it’s still there; we’ll exterminate the monsters that dare to make it their home.” He said as Vizin smiled a bit. “I would like it still there.” She said as Dull got on and drove back to base. As Dull was driving back to base, both groups were talking about what happened during their unexpected survival time. “You 3 were hiding in the employees’ section?” Said Cookie. “Yes…” Said Mrs. Preps “I thought we would perish but if it wasn’t for my son’s powers, we might have starved or worse; perish.” She said as she kissed her boy’s forehead. “Oh dear…” Said one of Vizin’s employees, “I find you very lucky for your son’s power.” She said as Wimpy looked at Simply. “I’m very grateful for Mr. Dull’s aid to save you and destroy that date blocking our freedom from that area.” He said as Dull turned to them. “Yeah but now, we must battle an Orc Boss. I don’t know about any of you, but I fear its abilities since we don’t know how strong it is and its army.” He said as they looked worried as well as Dull. “We need to scope the areas and find the wall for the next area, so we know what time we have before the monsters get stronger and deadlier.” He said as they made it to the base to witness a crowd of goblins were being killed by the defenses as Vizin smirked. “Who is the genius who created those?” She wondered as they witnessed the last goblin was being killed as Dull’s group gained the EXP & Gold. YOU HAVE RECEIVED 10 EXP & 10 GOLD FROM DEFEATING A GOBLINx6 Dull EXP: 70/600 Max EXP: 260/500 Specter EXP: 250/500 Green EXP: 130/600 Bloody EXP: 130/600 Dull’s Gold: 1920 Max’s Gold: 960 Specter’s Gold: 950 Green’s Gold: 2060 Bloody’s Gold: 2060 “I better gather the mana stones, goblin knives and whatever meat I could gather for Tony’s Salamander pet.” Said Bloody as she got out and went to work as the gates opened as they entered the base. “Welcome to our base.” Said Dull as Kyo and Honey and the others came out to see the warehouse, the field, crops, and trees growing. “How did you guys?” “Green is a [Druid] & Simply is a [Farmer]. When they’re together, we have enough food growing and maybe some wood and herbs as well.” Said Gourd. “Impressive.” Said Vizin as she turned to the warehouse. “So, this whole building is a greenhouse?” “Part of it.” Said Green. “It has enough space for many people, but it doesn’t have many rooms for privacy.” He said Dull helped the others by telling them what to do to help. Bloody took the meat to the freezer that Bloody was wise enough to convince Green to add in as she hooked the meat on some hooks hanging on the ceiling as she checked the temperature to make sure the freezer was still in low temperature. Simply and some others harvest the vegetables and fruits, Vizin helped as she harvests the grapes to make some homemade wine as Dull followed Bloody to the recycling plant that was 3 blocks away from their base. Kyo & Honey secretly followed them. “Where are they going?” Wonder Honey. “Maybe Bloody is having an affair?” Said Kyo which got her bonked on the head. “Don’t be stupid Kyo. Bloody is happily married to Green.” She said as they followed them behind. Bloody took Dull to a large Recycling Plant to see no one; monster or humans near or in the plant. “This is the place. All the resources you need are in there; scrap metal and maybe if you can make something out of plastic. Perhaps you can make us plastic containers, bottles, outdoor furniture and maybe toys for Tony and any other children we save.” Said Bloody as Dull looked at the place. “Thanks. I’ll come back after I’m done.” He said as Bloody went back to the base and found both Kyo & Honey hiding behind some wrecked cars. “If you both are worried for him, why didn’t you just ask to join us?” She asked as they both looked embarrassed. “Sorry.” Said Honey “We were worried for him.” “We’re having some trust issues during what’s happening.” Said Kyo as Bloody looked around. “Do be careful. We don’t know what kind of new monsters are out there?” She said “I’m hoping we find more of those orcs. I want to eat something other than goblin meat.” She said, which disgusted both Kyo & Honey. “Hey, we’re far from cattle, chicken, & fish. We must make do with what we have.” She said as she marched back to the base as Kyo and Honey watched Dull went to work, with one tap of his mallet turned an empty bottle of water into a plastic cube. “Odd.” He said as he collected it into his storage as he continued to harvest the materials and didn’t notice an orc was sneaking behind him. *GASP* They both gasp they charged at the orc. “KITTY!” Yelled Honey as her summon book appeared as 3 of those Sabretooth Tigers came out as they attacked the orc. *ROAR* “Huh?” Dull turned around to see those same tigers appearing as Kyo was dancing like a professional as she slashed the orc in the next as it died. YOU HAVE RECEIVED 100 EXP & 500 GOLD FROM DEFEATING AN ORC ASSASSIN Honey EXP: 210/400 Kyo EXP: 140/500 Honey’s Gold: 900 Kyo’s Gold: 1100 “Holy shit.” Said Dull as Kyo and Honey frowned at him. “I thought you would be the one who is most careful.” Said Kyo as Honey crossed her hands. “I… didn’t smell it.” He said as they both raised their eyebrows “When I battled the orc last night, it had a strong muddy smell but this one didn’t.” He said as Kyo noticed something on its wrist. “What’s this?” She said as she removed it as a screen appeared. [Item Info] Name: Stealth Armlet Grade: Rare Classification: Accessory Effect: Makes the wearer invisible to all enemies; scent, presence, and existence. Cost 10MP for 5 minutes only [Assassin], [Ninja], [Thief], [Bandit], & [Scout], 1MP per second for others. Will make the wearer visible after the MP is at zero. “So that explains the high gold and EXP.” Said Kyo and looked at the bracelet. “You need some protection, handsome.” She said Honey smiled but frowned. “I’m sorry for before.” She said “I… didn’t mean to break your heart. There were some… bad parasites I had to deal with.” She said, “A deadbeat parent and asshole who thinks people are objects that can be paid for.” Said Kyo pocketed the armlet. Dull bowed his head. “Thank you for saving me.” He said as he turned to them. “Maybe I need some protection.” He said as they both hugged him. “Thank you.” They said that Honey summoned more creatures; 2 large stone wall creatures with a large painted eye and a large purple butterfly that's as big as a human adult. “Whoa…” Said Dull. “I’m a [Summoner].” She said as Kyo danced a bit. “And I’m a [Dancer].” She said as Dull looked at her. (“Why doesn’t that surprise me.”) He thought as he went back to work as continued his work as Honey and Kyo lookout. 1 Hour Later Dull managed to turn every recycled plastic into a box cube that’s called a Plastic Ingot. Dull turned to Honey and Kyo who were amazed by what he did. “I’m amazed by what you can do?” Said Kyo. “Indeed. You could make some useful things.” Said Honey as Dull turned around. “I could but I think we need some more vehicles that aren’t destroyed.” He said as they looked around for something for him as he went to the scrap metal pile. “So, tell me, Honey. What happened to your deadbeat dad and asshole he sold you to?” He said as Honey looked disgusted. “Goblins killed them.” “Understandable.” He said, “They may be small as kids but they’re violent as wandering primitive hunters.” “Big time.” Said Kyo. “If they were humans, they would worship me for my tits and ass.” She said as Dull rolled his eyes. “How the fuck do you have the stamina again?” He spoke as Kyo smirked. “A lot of dildos that couldn’t manage this woman.” She said as Honey shook her head. “So that explains your extra shifts.” She said as Kyo smirked. “This was before my failed relationships. I mean I was a bit self-conscious about my height. I mean who would want a short person as their lover?” She said as Dull looked at her. “Us.” Said Dull as Honey nodded as Kyo turned to them red. “You fuckers…” She said while shaking her fist at them “Thank you.” She said happily as she looked at the warehouse in the distance. “Have you made any defenses for air attacks?” Asked Kyo. “Not yet because I don’t know any defenses that aren’t from a video game.” Said Dull as Kyo and Honey try to think of something as Kyo realizes something. “Can you create a gun?” Asked Kyo as Dull paused. “Guns don’t work.” He said as he looked up. “Even if they did, I doubt people will use them only on monsters.” Said Dull as people in the apocalypse will keep their humanity. “Tell me this, Dull?” Asked Honey “Maybe… you can ask her for help?” She asked. “Never will I go to her.” Said Dull as they looked sad to hear that. “I will never allow that corruption of hers into my life.” He said as he kicked some scrap metal away. “But isn’t she-” “She is not my grandmother!” He yelled angrily at them. “Just a counterpart from another dimension who thinks everyone should believe in her ways!” Dull snarled. “If she was smart, she should have realized the possibility of corruption in that shit she believes and spreading.” He said as he went to collect more ingots as Honey and Kyo looked worried for Dull. “Given the Cults of Friendship’s actions, I can’t blame him for being pissed and angry.” Said Kyo as Honey turned to Kyo. “We may need to go there behind his back.” She said quietly as Kyo turned to her. “Hope we don’t give him a good reason to hate us.” Said Kyo as they watched Dull harvesting his materials and started to frown “What about the FriendBitch?” She wonders as Honey narrows her eyes. “I hope she died by those monsters.” Said Honey in a dark tone. “She is an evil parasite that leeches attention so others can follow her. I hope she’s dead because I hate to see the minions that follow her and die for her.” She said as both Kyo and her turned to Dull who was making a plastic gallon. “Take from me but there were some rumors that she was informing those Believers of Friendship the location of people who refuse to believe in Friendship.” Said Kyo softly as Dull turned his eyes to them and to the sky. (“If she’s still alive… I hate to fight the friendship followers or whatever power she has.”) Thought Dull. Location: Canterlot High A woman at the age of 28 was standing on top of the roof of Canterlot High with ominous glowing eyes “I know you have my geode, Dusk. I will have it back and my destiny as the Bearer of Friendship shall save everyone.” Said Eventide as she pulled out her hand and fired a beam of energy at an orc in the head. “I am our dimension’s Princess of Friendship.” She said as the sunset with her eyes glowing red. “And non-believers of friendship should not exist.” She said while holding 6 necklaces in her right hand. > Survival 5 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dull was walking inside the Recycling Plant, looking for more resources along with the plastic. He stopped to see enormous pits of another resource other than plastic “Glass…” He said Honey and Ryo appeared with Honey’s summons; 5 of her wolf pups and 5 of her Kitty summons. “Hey, what did you find?” Asked Ryo as she and Honey were curious about it. “Glass.” He said as they both looked to see tons and tons of glass shards. They both backed away. “Yikes… I know how dangerous glass shards are, but with your powers, I can see many things being made from them.” Said Honey. “Yeah, like bottles, decorations, dildos.” She said happily. Both Dull and Honey turned to her with glares. “WHAT?! It’s my little kink since with the destruction of our city, my collection of sex toys might be gone if those flying lizards of death destroy our apartment.” She said while looking at Dull and Honey. “I don’t think Dull will make you one out of glass.” Said Honey, “You have the thighs of a wrestler. It will shatter inside you.” She explained as Kyo paused and gulped in fear. “Shards in me… cutting me from the inside until I bleed to death… fuck my sexy thighs of death.” She said, looking at Dull, “I guess having the real thing is better than a fake.” She said as Dull narrowed his eyes on her. “Tell me; how long did you realize that?” Asked Dull. “After screwing with you 6 times.” She said with a grin. “Keep that lust-filled mind of yours away from the kids. I mean Tony may be the only kid we saved, but if I remember correctly, there’s an orphanage at least 30 miles away from here.” Said Dull as they both looked at each other. “Those orphans…” Said Honey as Kyo looked worried. “They won’t survive within a week or at worst, 5 hours.” She said as Dull swung his mallet on the shards as they all turned into glass cubes as he collected the resources. “We need to save the survivors.” They all ran out as they went back to their base. Back at Base Dull told his friends and the other survivors about going to an orphanage to rescue any children. “Dull… We’re with you.” Said Bloody as they looked at Tony, who was sleeping on his mother’s lap. “We can’t let Tony be alone and the only kid.” She said as Vizin walked up. “I’m not a mother, but children are the future and given this hell, which is now our world. Saving them is a must.” She said and turned to everyone. “Besides, I don’t like the idea of children being forced to fight to live. We’ll have to make it easier for them by capturing monsters for them and have them practice on those Iron Scarecrows Dull made. Goblins at best, but we got nothing to use as nets.” She said as Dull pulled out some chains. “I got chains but nothing to make nets out of. I doubt chain nets let them be alive.” He said as when to their car. “Are there any auto stores nearby the orphanage?” He asked as they all shrugged their shoulders. “Why do you need to know about any Auto shops nearby?” Asked Cookie as Green walked up to her. “Because Dull can make more caravans.” He said as Dull looked at them. “We can’t depend on only one for the rest of this hellhole.” Explained Dull as he looked at the sky. “Especially from threats from above.” He said as they remember the wyverns and fear what they can do. “We better go in a group. Whoever wants to stay, protect the base.” Said Green as they all prepared. 10 Minutes Later Dull started the caravan as his party joined him; Green, Bloody, Max, Specter, Honey & Kyo, as those who join him are Wimpy, Gourd, Suzie & Song Note. Wimpy joined to protect as defense as Gourd and Suzie joined in to give aid to any of the injured as Song Note will give some stat boost to anyone who is willing to fight. “We’ll be back with survivors. Do not let anyone in! We can’t be sure if they’re friend or foe.” He said as Vizin gave him the thumbs up. “Be sure to plan any fights.” Said Bloody “We can’t risk anyone dying.” They left as the people in the base decided to plan an expedition to gather anything salvageable. 20 Minute Drive The group had to stop to let the Wyverns pass above them and ambush a pack of orcs and goblins that were at war with each other Honey unleashed 2 of her Butterfly summons to place them asleep and they went to kill them in their sleep.

They looked around to find any buildings they could salvage anything from it as Dull saw a mattress store. “I found some beds we can take.” He said as they saw a mattress store and smiled. “Gather the biggest beds.” Said Dull “We don’t know how many kids will be there?” He said as they all march towards the mattress store and be on a watch for monsters hiding as Honey sends her mouse summons to examine for hidden enemies. They returned to her to let her know it’s safe as they each help each other take the King-, Queen- and Full-size beds to an improved cart Dull made and more to add. [Name Info] Name: Steel Cart x6 Grade: Common Classification: Tool Effect: Holds up to 200 LB worth of objects. “There.” Said Dull “That’s all the beds that didn’t get destroyed.” He said. “Now we better get going.” Said Suzie. “Who knows who or what we’ll meet.”  They all got on as Dull noticed something. “A Drug Store!” He yelled, Gourd looked at the store. “Medical supplies!” He said, “Sleeping medicine, bandages, and laxatives!” He yelled as everyone looked at him with confused looks. “Uh… to poison some monsters with the runs.” He said. Dull laughed at that idea as they looked at him. “I love it.” He said, “We’ll use it on the boss if he knows magic.” Dull marched to the door, opened it to enter as he went to grab some medicine for the base. Gourd and the others catch up as they collect all types of medicine, even sleeping medicine as Honey grabbed some… tampons and birth control. They all placed the medicine in a cart as they climbed in the caravan as they drove off to the orphanage. Dull drove around as they made some stops to salvage a thrift store. They collected some rugs, blankets, furniture, toys, old clothes, and movies old by a few years and decades of VHS & DVD. They even collected some old smart TVs for the movie players. They covered the stuff with drapes from the store to them up. “Who would steal a bunch of junk?” Asked Kyo. “It depends on how they are used.” Said Green. “People could use them to lure people for their deaths in this apocalypse.” “Temptation is one of the obsessions people want.” Said Bloody as Dull and the others used hooks to hold the drapes on the carts. “If people know a location with electricity, food and housing, they’ll be drawn like flies and parasites.” Said Dull as they climbed back in the caravan and drove off. Dull stopped at an orphanage as it was a bit damaged and had blood stains on the walls and steps with some corpses of monsters and people. “Shit.” Said Honey as they all climbed off as Dull gave everyone the Tire Shields. “Be careful. We don’t know if there are any monsters inside.” Said Dull. Wimpy walked with 2 shields in his arms as a screen appeared before everyone. [Synergy List] 4] Class: Synergy Class Condition: More than 7 wielding shields in a party Effect: Increased in defense, 60% Increased to base Defense “Oh, my…” Said Wimpy as he opened the door slowly as arrows and magic spells were headed toward him. But Wimpy slammed both shields together. “STRONG DEFENSE!” He yelled, blocked all the attacks as he held it all off. “Hold your fire!” yelled a female voice as Wimpy backed away. The group saw a 50-year-old nun appear from the door holding a clutch under her left arm and a musket in right. “Is that a gun?!” Yelled Dull. The nun aimed it at Dull, but her eyes widened. “Dusk Sparkle?” She said, Dull groaned hearing that name, but some were shocked to hear that. “You’re related to Twilight Sparkle?!” Yelled Wimpy. Dull glared at the group of people who didn’t know Dull’s real name. “I’ve severed my ties with that toxic family, and that’s no longer my name.” Said Dull. He looked at the nun. “Mother Daycare. That is no longer my name, but it is good to see that you’re still alive.” He said as Mother Daycare looked around to see no monsters. “Quickly, enter now!” She said as the group entered the orphanage. As they entered, they saw some damages and worse bloodstains. “Don’t worry. That’s monster’s blood, not human’s blood. I refuse to allow those monsters to hurt my children.” She said, She took them to a large room where they saw at least 10 children between the ages of 8 and 12 with staff and bows & arrows and a 15-year-old girl who had bandages on her hands. “I’m very grateful that you’re here, Dull. I thought we were doomed to how the people are now acting. They lose their minds and care for only power. It’s such a disgust to witness.” She said as the 15-year-old walked up. “I saw some people were given threats and killed people other than the monsters.” She said, “I heard them saying something about killing people is worth more gold.” Dull’s party, but he was horrified and disgusted. “Hmmm…” They looked at Dull. “What do you mean, ‘Hmmm…’?” Asked Max as Dull looked at them. “I had a dark feeling about how people would find a darker way to level up.” He said, which made everyone look frightened. “I mean, one day we’ll have to fight psychopaths and killers.” He said, which made sense in an apocalypse. “Also Mother Daycare, we came to aid you and the kids.” He said as the girl crossed her arms. “How can we trust him?” She said “I mean he could be-” “I hate friendship when those cultists get too arrogant because of how powerful the Magic of Crapship has gotten.” He said, which baffled the girl. “Never thought I would hear a family member from the Rainbooms say that.” She said Mother Daycare placed her hand on the girl’s shoulder. “Knux. This is the man I told you about. The Sparkle that left his toxic family.” She said, “HIM?!” Yelled Knux “The Sparkle that rebels against that magic? I fail to see how?” Said Knux as Dull snarled. “I never thought I would have to show this to anyone.” He said which confused them as he revealed his grandmother’s geode from around his neck. All were shocked as Mother Daycare smiled. “I’m happy to see Miss Sparkle chose to give her geode to the right wielder.” She said, Dull’s eyes widened as he looked at the geode. “Did grandma tell you to give it to me?” He asked. “No… I told her about giving her geode to someone who truly deserves it. That sister of yours isn’t someone who I refuse to see to have that geode.” She said, Dull snarled hearing about his sister. “Like the cold hands of death I’ll let her get it, but I don’t know if she’ll be able to use it.” He said as they looked at him. “Wait… if you had that, does that mean you have telekinesis?” Asked Green. “Hell no. I need friendship for that, and you know how anti I am about it.” Explained Dull. “Also this geode won’t work for her. It said the effects only work for the true bearer.” He said as his eyes widened. “Damn it…” He said. “You’re a true bearer, aren’t you?” Asked Kyo  “If that psycho of a sister knows about it, she’ll kill me for it, along with the Cult of Friendship.” Said Dull as the others walked up to him. “Then we’ll take them all down.” Said Bloody. “They’ve been hurting people who refuse to accept friendship for far too long.” She said Mother Daycare looked mad. “I agree.” She said, “They threaten to hurt my children unless I teach them the lessons of friendship and rat others who refuse to accept friendship.” Max looked disgusted. “They threaten to harm children. Those sick bastards.” She said “It also explains why the chief refused to arrest them and why whenever I arrest them, they get released. He’s one of them.” Said Max as she punched the wall. “Karma will get them.” Said Kyo. “The monsters might kill them since guns don’t work but…” She looked at Daycare’s musket. “How can that gun work?” She asked. “I grabbed a card with a man holding a gun by accident. I was trying to grab the card with the priest but now… I’m a [Gunslinger] with 2-Stars ★ ★.” Knux clutches her hands. “I’m a [Striker] with 3-Stars ★★★. Martial Arts are my weapons and if I use a weapon, my skills won’t work, and my strength is useless.” She said as the other kids were 3 [Archer], 2 [Mage], 2 [Priest], a [Scout], a [Blacksmith] & a [Farmer]. For the kid who was a [Scout], has a skill that lets her see 5 miles away clearly. She used her skills to see monsters on the ground, the air, and bad people to avoid or defeat. The young boy who picked the [Blacksmith] card made any new weapons to help her friends and create some arrows for his friends who are [Archer] and a pair of twins who are [Priest] can heal others, remove curses on people and become invincible for 10 seconds when they slay a monster. Mother Daycare told her that her job can allow her to use guns which made some a bit angry, mostly Max since her gun was left at her station. Dull looked at them and smiled “Mother Daycare… Please, join us at our base with defenses. We’re gathering any survivor who wants to fight to live, I know we’re sinners to your eyes and you want the kids to be with good remodels-” “Dusk… Dull. I may be a nun but when I become one, I made a vow to protect all kids without any parents.” Said Daycare “I would be honored to join you. Kids?” She asked them as they looked a bit worried. “We have another kid at the base with his mother but he’s the only kid there. We were hoping you’ll be his friends.” Said Dull as the kids looked at him and thought about how lonely that kid is since he doesn’t know if his friends are still alive. Kunx walked up to him. “I hope there’s food, at least.” She said as they nodded as some went to their rooms. “Gather all the clothes we can find! We’re going to relax for the day.” She said as they all gathered their stuff as Dull helped Mother Daycare. “Don’t worry Mother Daycare. We got a [Doctor] and a [Herbalist] that can help with that injured leg.” He said as Gourd helped her to the Caravan. 10 Minutes Later All the kids and Mother Daycare are on the Caravan as the young [Scout] named Ginger looked around and the sky. “We’re safe for now.” She said as Dull started the vehicle as they hid as they returned to base, but what they didn’t know was someone was spying on them and smirked. Dull drove while running over some goblins as they attacked the orcs to raise their levels again.

Back at base The gates opened as they entered. The other survivors came to greet them, as they were surprised to see a nun and children. Tony was happy to see more kids as Dull and the others brought in what they salvage as Dull, and a kid named Ricky had a synergy when they worked together, and other synergy made with other groups. [Synergy: List 1] Crafting Group Class: Synergy Class Condition: At least 2 (Blacksmith, Synergist, and/or Pioneer) Effect: Increase in crafting speed, crafted item’s stats a bit, decrease in materials needed to craft [Synergy: List 2] Farming Group Class: Synergy Class Condition: At least 3 Farmers and/or Druids Effects: Increase in Food growing by 20%. Nightfall, Main Base They made some new changes to the base, its defenses, and resources. Dull & Ricky manage to make the cannons be able to fire much quickly with less resources, stronger walls, can increase the strength of others’ weapons with the Mana Stones from the monsters Bloody collected and managed to make a new base out of the Recycling Plant (Sub Base) for others; they made some rooms for couples and groups, a recreation room to watch movies or play games, plus a replica of the Caravan & a electric generator that can store 3 days’ worth of electricity. Tony’s mom made more meals for everyone as Dull told them not to ask where the meat came from. Green, Simply and the kid farmer, Vinny can harvest more food, grow more food, and create more kinds of seeds as Honey help them create a field for them by having one of her summons dig up a large field outside to grow more food as Dull & Ricky made a greenhouse much smaller than Green’s which he helped. Knux and other orphans played with Tony which made them happy. Even Tony’s mom was happy to see her son happy. Dull and Tony were panting as they both gave thumbs up as they got some EXP for the upgrades and new changes to the base made a lot of people happy. Dull looked at his storage as he sighed “No more metal resources.” He said as he looked at Ricky who was making something in his spare time. “Apparently [Blacksmith] can create ores while my job doesn’t.” He said as he looked at the bases and their defenses. “Ricky and I did our best. We don’t have to worry about ground attacks but for air attacks, is still a problem.” He said as he saw Mother Daycare walking without her crutch. “Mother Daycare.” “Just Daycare now. I’m grateful to Mr. Gourd and Suzie. I no longer feel the pain in my leg and no longer need that crutch.” She said as she bent her right leg. “I’m also happy to see that you upgrade this thing.” She said as she pulled out her musket “The reload time maybe 5 seconds less but at least this thing won’t get damaged after I used it to hit some goblins in the face.” She looked at Dull and looked concerned. “Is there any information you wish to know?” Dull nodded as she pulled her smartphone. “A blue QR Code appeared near the Train Station 60 miles from the Orphanage but there is also another one close from here.” She said as she pointed out to a radio tower on a building at least 5 blocks away from the Main Base. “Scan it with your phone, an app will be installed on your phone. A community App will be used to communicate with other survivors as all phone service and internet is down.” She explained as Dull snarled. “So that explains why all email websites have disappeared.” Said Dull, he looked at her “Anything else I should know?” “It takes 1000 gold to write a post.” She said as Dull nearly lost it. “Fucking system. Nothing is free.” He said Ginger ran to Daycare and hugged her but looked scared. “What is wrong deary?” She asked as Ginger pointed out from the base. “Bad people are coming!” She yelled in fear, Dull & Daycare looked shocked. “Go tell the kids to hide inside!” Order Daycare as Ginger ran to the kids as Dull and Daycare ran to their bases to warn the survivors. “BATTLE STATIONS EVERYONE!!!” Yelled Dull as the others turned to him. “GINGER SAID A GROUP IS HEADING TOWARDS THIS BASE!!!” The survivors looked scared as he turned to the group. “Those who wish to fight! Join us but those who wish to defend, head inside to protect the others!” Yelled Max as some went inside but some stayed, Tony summoned his Hob Goblins, but they were wearing armor to cover their bodies and faces by a request from Dull & Ricky in case some people would try to kill them. Dull handed out many Tire Shields as the synergy activated. [Synergy List] 5] Class: Synergy Class Condition: More than 10 wielding shields in a party Effect: Increased in defense, 65% Increased to base Defense “Prepare to attack on my command!” Yelled Dull as Max, Specter, Green, Bloody, Honey and Ryo joined him “We’ll negotiate with them. If they’re the enemy, prepare to attack them and if they’re members of the Cult of Friendship, kill them without mercy.” He said, Bloody grabbed him by the shoulder. “Hold off until they speak of it.” Said Bloody as all 7 of them came out to meet the group as 5 cars appeared as people came out as 20 people came out as one man walked towards Dull. “Greeting fellow survivors.” Said an arrogant looking man as Dull didn’t like him already. “We are fellow survivors in need of shelter.” He said Dull’s expression didn’t change. “Really? May I ask how you came across our base?” He asked which made the man stay still calm. “One of our members saw one of your vehicles driving around, and we weren’t sure if the monsters were intelligent enough to use vehicles.” He said, Dull gripped his mallet. “We wish to join in living with your shelter as we are to work together to survive.” As he talked and talked about his and his group’s needs, some mice were running around their feet, they didn’t notice them as the mice went to inspect the vehicles. “Are you?” Asked Dull. “I mean survival is important but…” He was holding his word as the mice went to Honey, she walked closely to Dull, whispering into his ear. “I don’t know. What do you have to offer?” He asked which made them backed away but the one speaking. “Offer?!” He yelled “THIS IS SURVIVAL OF THE HUMAN RACE!!! What is there to offer?!” He yelled angrily as they narrowed their eyes at him, he cleared his throat. “I apologize but we are in need of help, now… what do you say?” The man reached out his hand as Dull looked at him. “Alright.” He said, which made the survivors look at him as the group in front of him cheered “If you show me the contents of your vehicles, we’ll let you in.” He said which made the other group jump a bit “What’s wrong? Afraid we’ll judge you?” Said Dull, he narrowed his eyes. The man of the group started to twitch as he charged at Dull. “DIE!” He yelled as Dull pulled out a spare cannon he had in storage. “Die yourself.” He said as the cannon fired, he was sent flying to one of the cars he drove on, and crash landed on the roof as Honey screamed. “THEY CAN’T BE TRUSTED! THERE ARE CORPSES IN THEIR TRUNKS!” She screamed as the others prepared to fight as the man got back up and killed his own ally. “What the fuck?!” Said Green, they witness him drinking his friend’s blood as he smirked showing two long fangs. “Vampire.” Said Dull, the vampire attacked Dull as he and he clashed.
