One week after

A single Zombie was roaming the hallway as he was entranced by the glowing machine that was a vending machine. Suddenly it was impaled through the skull, but a Spear. The person then took the spear out he required it and pulled out a 5 dollar bill as he looked at the vending machine.

"Maybe some snickers today." Said Cassius as he pressed in the numbers.

The hallways were cleared of Zombie and corpses, as a slime came to the corpse of the dead Zombie and ate it.

"You've been enjoying yourself buddy. You've done a better job at keeping this hallway clean than our janitors did." Joked Cassius as he picked up his food.

Cassius opened one of the bars as he checked on the stats and status of the events.

Cassius sat on the floor as he thought about his old life. He remembered his Dad's cooking, Sophia constant talking to him while he tried to get homework done, and his little sister Nia always pestering him to go play with her.

"I wish I could go back…" Said Cassius.

A lone Zombie limped towards Cassius, but Cassius threw his spear effortlessly as he hung the Zombie by his spear. Cassius continued to eat his candy bar, until he saw a screen appear.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

[Player is the 1st to complete hidden challenge, Kill 1,000 Zombies. Rewards for completing hidden challenge.]

[+5 Stats]

[Skill]

[Lottery Ticket]

[Claim All]

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Cassius looked at the screen surprised as he pressed claim all. He proceeded to add +4 to speed and finished it off by adding +1 to his defense. He then stared at the other screen showing him that he had a new skill

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

[Analysis] [Using the command, the Player is now able to get an analysis on the subject it wants knowledge on.]

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

"That's cool I guess." Said Cassius.

Cassius look in his inventory and saw the lottery ticket. He pulled it out, and it said that the lottery pull wouldn't start until October 1st.

"Even in this world, gambling still occurs. Oh well, let's see if I haven't hung myself by then." Said Cassius as he got up.

Cassius walked up to the hanging Zombie and pulled his spear out, and saw it's durability had dwindled.

"I guess sharp objects will eventually lose their edge." Said Cassius to himself as he handed his slime the spear so it could eat it. "So much for a bonus item… Well. I guess it's about time I bought a new weapon since the staff broke."

Cassius pulled the shop up and began examining the weapons and armor. He then saw a search bar, and typed staff into it. Cassius was then presented with many options to replace his old staff. He saw the most affordable one and that presented the best benefit to him.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

[Iron Bo]

[Requirements, 8 strength, and 5 speed]

[+10 Strength]

[This weapon is lightweight, but heavily compact on the ends. With it's reach it should prove useful for defeating even Boss Monsters.]

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Cassius tested the Iron Bo, and saw the impact damage this weapon carried as he managed to make a wall collapse. He then spun the Iron Bo, and compared to his first attempt with his wooden staff, that he was capable of spinning the staff around.

(I seriously have to be careful with this thing since it can seriously harm me as well. Well… there went 10,000 Fame.)

Cassius stared at the Shop and went back to the pet shop. He looked at the options, but none interested him, but then scroll further down and saw sales on pet skills. The scrolls were set to fit every pet, but the price was ludicrous, 20,000 Fame. As Cassius was about to scroll past the sale, he saw that it suddenly changed.

[Buy one get one free.]

Cassius immediately bought the sale. Cassius then received two scroll and saw they were empty, but then took his slime out and tapped the scroll on the Slime's head hopping something would happen. Cassius then opened the scroll and it remained empty until he hovered the scroll over his slime.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

[Slime Skill Unlock]

[Yes]

[No]

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Cassius pressed yes and sudden got a new screen as the scroll disappeared.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

[Storage] [Slime can now store things in it's stomach. Don't be afraid, a trained slime will not eat the items it stores. Storage is as big as a room.]

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Cassius was surprised that his slime could do that. He then handed the slime his wallet as it absorbed.

"Wallet." Asked Cassius.

Then slime then plopped out Cassius's wallet, with everything in it.

"And you even cleaned it." Said Cassius. "This is a useful skill."

Cassius then placed his bag over the slime as it started absorbing the bag.

"Well time for the next one." Said Cassius as he grabbed the next scroll and proceeded to do the same procedure as last time.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

[Intangible] [The little slime now can't take physical damage and can only be harmed by magic attack. It can be touched by it's user or what it lets touch it.]

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

"So you could actually take damage before. Oh well, not like I planned for you to be in combat. Here inside the hood." Said Cassius as he lowered himself so the slime could return to it's sleeping spot.

Cassius's slime was now level 4 and provided Cassius with +4 healing every minute. Cassius was the fighter, while his slime passively healed him. Cassius sighed as he decided to leave the college for the first time. Cassius left through the exits and saw the same red wall blocking him from leaving campus, but strangely he saw a group of people leading a person somewhere. Cassius didn't want to be seen so he looked where he could hide just far enough, but then Cassius thought about his strength. Cassius looked up and saw that he was in the 1 story portion of his college. He took a step back and jumped. Cassius made it much higher than he expected.

"Woah." Remarked Cassius as he landed down on the roof. "Guess strength went to my legs as well."

Cassius then traveled on the roof as he trailed the group of people. Cassius looked at the group of people being taken and recalled some figures.

(Captain of Basketball Team, Harris Price. The So-called Cold Princess Freya Drake, and Linebacker Max Percy. I'm surprised they are all still alive, but who are these guys that are taking them.)

Cassius uses his new skill to see who the people are and what they are, but his skill only allow him to see the photo and name.

(Jack Randall? Simon Tobbes? Ben Minter? Who are these guys? I haven't heard of them before. Wait, actually I've seen Simon before… where… Oh! He was always helping in the library.)

Cassius continues to follow them until something snaps him out of thought.

"INTRUDER!!! I CAN SENSE THE UNWANTED PRESENCE OF CASSIUS LEE!!!" Shouted a person in hood.

"EVERYONE PREPARE YOURSELVES TO HAVE YOUR REVENGE OF THE KING OF THIS COLLEGE!!! FELLOW WEEBS FOLLOW ME AS WE TAKE DOWN THE IKEMAN OF THIS COLLEGE!!!" Announced an Armored Student.

(The hell is an ikeman.)

Cassius peaked his head out and realized why he was the number one target. Members of the computer development, animation department, anime club, and dnd campaign club, all gathered in one place. Cassius recalled hearing a member of the dnd campaign club curse at him for helping him.

"Curse you Cassius Lee, one day I'll have my revenge when I am stronger and cooler." Muttered the student as Cassius ignored it.

(I get it… They're the losers that have been waiting to get sent to another world.)

Cassius then trembled as he realized something.

(Wait if I want to escape this college, I'll have to defeat all of them… The experts of other worldly scenarios!)
