8 Chapter 8: The start (Fixed)
James got up and as usual, they went downstairs turning on the TV. Though this time something new had happened.
{Braking news!}
{A magical game-like system has spread across the world, as well as many strange or new structures appearing.}
{There was an encounter with a creature with a monster like appearance, there is yet to be a statement fro....}
' O-ok then, this is interesting... finally my adventure can begin!'
James went outside and decided it would be a good time to go hunt monsters, After all, he can't let his town fall to monsters. James ran into the woods near his house looking for any presence of monsters, after looking around for almost a half-hour, he found a large bug.
[Ant gatherer Lvl:1]
'Must have gotten separated from the rest of the ants...' James stared at the large black ant. The ant was about 3 feet tall. He quickly used [Mana blade] and snuck up on the ant. Jumping up and stabbing its head he cut straight through its head with relative ease.
*Bing*
* 10 xp gained*
A bit later James managed to make a small stick catch on fire. He had a small match on him that he took just in case. The dry stick caught on fire without much issue, leading him to where he is now. Standing next to the hole.
It was a good thing he had a match on him. Using his mana blade to cut some wood from a tree and weakened it a bit. he then threw the burning stick together with some sticks from the tree he just stabbed, and then once it caught flame, he tossed it down the ant hole. As he did this, he pushed the now weakened tree causing it to fall over the hole to prevent any ants from leaving. After a moment he got notifications from the system telling him that 50 gathering ants had died to this and 10 soldier ants. the soldier ants were level 2 and gave him 13 XP for each kill.
*bing*
*lvl 2*
* 20 attribute points gained *
After a bit of thought this is what he came to as his choice.

As James sat there starring at the screen he felt something odd...like someone was watching him... The wind blew by and it was dead silent. He heard a sound of something moving fast, like it was cutting through the air towards him. James leaped forward as a giant claw bit towards his body barley cutting his back. Turning around quickly, James saw a 6-foot purple ant glaring down at him. It felt like gravity had increased upon his body under this gaze. Was this thing that much stronger than him?
*bing*
{Giant ant queen}
{level 10}
* I recommend you run from this fight, as this monster is much stronger and way more dangerous to you than the previous smaller and weaker ants*
'....Clearly....'
*Hey, I'm just saying jeez*
'Right sorry, Thanks'
James then immediately took off running as fast as he could without any thought hoping he could get back without the thing chasing him. It some how worked. After some time walking he finally got home. James took off his clothes showing minor definitions to his muscles especially his abs and upper chest. On his back there was a cut going across it, but it quickly healed itself. Sighing he grabbed a different T-shirt and some shorts, before going down stairs to through away the torn clothes. James passed out on the couch before he could do anything else, as his body was exhausted after healing itself. He guessed this was a benefit of being a Fallen angel. It was gone pretty quickly, however it took a good bit of energy out of him. Probably due to the fact it was the first time his body had suffered any real damage at all. He hoped it would become easier over time and not as draining.
The next day, James went to school again. Everyone was there as if nothing had major had happened, like there was no reason to suspend school, or be carful at least. When he got to class they were all chatting with one another. He overheard some of their stats, as he expected the highest in one category was 30, although this was good, nowhere near his highest. His training definitely paid off.
Ben had sat next to him.
"Sup"
"Sup"
"My stats are pretty good, " Ben said proudly.

" That's pretty good "
Ben smiled happily at James's response. "Thanks "
The day carried on and everyone seemed to be in a better mood than normal.
