1 The Beginning of a New Era

5 years ago...

Like always I am sitting in class, bored looking at the teacher teaching to finish the syllabus as soon as possible. But, if you would ask me almost none of the students were interested in the blabbering of the teacher, except the ones who study. But, either way, the teacher didn't care at all.

The school is relatively silent, there was music in the dance room, the humming of classical songs in the music room, and the boys shouting while playing football, while some teachers were scolding some student.

Amartya, a friend of mine, he sits right beside me, well, he doesn't have a good image in this school. But, still, even though I spend most of my time with him no one suspects me. Amartya showed his history book to me, where he drew some mustaches on some historical guy's photo, I chuckled. And decided to show my creativity in the same historical guy's photo.

I went towards my bag on the floor to take out my pencil box, that's when there was a sudden earthquake. All of us started to rush towards the ground outside, as fast as possible, but before we could even exit the room, the earthquake stopped abruptly.

"Is everyone fine?" asked the teacher, who was the most scared and had almost left the classroom.

"Yes," we all shouted.

But, instead of going to an open area to protect us from further quakes, our bodies started to automatically move towards our seats against our will. We all sat down and then I heard a sound.

ting!

From the blackboard, some kind of species appeared, it wasn't a fairy or a demon. Well, was it even normal for that being to be here.

"ahem...ahem," The being coughed. "Hello everyone" shouted the being.

But, the students as well started to shout. Who are you? What are you?....many questions were asked which weren't heard clear

"Shut up" shouted the being, as soon as it shouted it felt like my head was going to burst, many of the students fell on the floor out of sheer pain. After the headache faded no one dared to raise their voice against that being.

"ahem...ahem...let me start again. Hello humans. I am Gredu. And I am yours...hmm. No, let it be a secret" said the being. The being moved its hands.

Some blue notifications appeared in front of me. I read through it and immediately looked at others, they were blankly starting in the area. But, they were looking at their notifications.

"I guess you have received the notifications till now," said Gredu, with a grin on its face. "Good Good."

At this point, weebs like me had realized that we are in some fantasy things. I got super excited thinking that I could be some main character with a harem of beautiful girls. But, this is me thinking those things five years ago. At that time, I was scared as hell.

"Ok...then. I won't waste any time and start the selection process" said Gredu.

[Main Quest 1: Reach school auditorium or else die in 10 minutes]

That sentence said it all, either reach the auditorium or die. Wait, die? Who would kill us? thought the students and teachers alike. And till then some people would snap. A boy named Akib...went towards the Gredu. He was quite tall so he could reach Gredu in the air face to face.

"And what if I don't want to so it?" said Akib.

There was a large grin on Gredu's face. Gredu touched Akib's forehead with its tiny fingers."boom" said Gredu.

And then suddenly Akib exploded spurting blood all over the room. The unlucky ones got hit with Akib's organs but luckily I was behind quite a few students.

Almost every girl in the class vomited...

Gredu with a grin on his face, " What are you waiting for? Go finish your quest?"

Everyone realized the situation and remembered the quest.They started to run toward the auditorium, many students got stuck in the classroom door. But as soon as we left the class we something horrible. Our school building surrounds a small ground, and currently, that ground wasn't a ground anymore. It was a cemetery littered with the undead.

Everyone started to run even faster, the students from other classes were also running, if a student got caught by an undead. It would be dragged to the cemetery, being slowly eaten alive by the undead.

And in that chaos, I was running like all others, like them I didn't think of fighting the undead.

The school auditorium was one minute away from the main building, passing beside the football field, and like the ground before, the giant football field was full of undead. And some were blocking the way to the inventory.

A boy named Kunal charged towards the undead blocking the way, he was barely able to defeat the undead with his three fingers being cut off, but after defeating the undead he made his run towards the auditorium and he reached it, soon after.

Like Kunal, many other students made their way past the undead blocking the way, and like him, they also lost a few body parts but in the end, reached the school auditorium.

Amartya was beside me, he charged towards the undead, I was following behind him, but due to his weight while fending off the undead he fell. And what I saw, still horrifies me to date. The undead slowly made his way through Amartya's fat. They were doing it slow that he could feel more pain.

But, then I realized something my way was open, the undead were focused on eating Amartya, and like me, three more students passed through the undead and finally reaching the auditorium.
