Zoo

Zero found the second gun hadn't been damaged, so he placed it back in its holster before picking up his pace. As Zero had been moving for over twenty minutes, he was confident he would make it there soon when he suddenly heard a should from behind him. "SOMEONE HELP!" Zero paused in his steps to look back. When he didn't see anything, he turned and continued to jog towards the zoo.

'Whoever it was, I'm sorry. But I have my own goals.' as Zero made it half way to the zoo, he noticed the feeling in his left pointer finger was back before a window appeared.

-Notice-

One of the Host's Mana Channels has been fixed.

Zero smiled as his arm had been given enough time in-between casts to not shatter, meaning he could still use it. Zero arrived at the Zoo just as his left pinky fixed itself. 'So my left pinky, pointer, and thumb are good. While my entire right hand is fine.' Zero confirmed his own words by moving the fingers in question. Zero looked Infront of him at the large golden doors leading into the Zoo.

'Window, what's the chances of there being a host already in the zoo?' Zero didn't expect an answer, so when none came he simply shrugged and pushed open the gates.

As soon as Zero took a step past the main gate, a rather large window appeared Infront of him.

-Notice-

To all Hosts interested in growing there power, an event has been paid for by an interested third party. Each Host that joins the event will be pulled in the direction of the first events location. Please note that joining the event and not arriving to the event location in the given time will result in a large punishment. Hosts partaking in the event are able to leave the event once a certain requirement is met.

-Notice-

Due to the Host already arriving in the event area, the Host has auto joined.

Without giving it a second thought, Zero started sprinting into the zoo. 'Window, how big is the event area?!' A window appeared Infront of Zero showing an overview map of the zoo, however it didn't show his position in it or not. 'Window, zoom into the zoo's first floor.' The map of the zoo stayed in the overview position.

'Window, what does the event entail?'

-Notice-

Due to the Host being the first Host to arrive to the event area, the Host will be given a reward.

Please pick the reward you would like. <SOULS> <INFORMATION>

Zero instantly clicked Information as it was what he needed in this situation.

-Notice-

Host has picked <information> for there reward.

-Notice-

The current event is king of the hill. Once then 3 hour timer hits zero, the Hosts must fight to hold a single position. The Host that holds the position the longest, or the last living will be given a reward.

Zero slowly nodded before asking the window a question. 'What happens if you don't win the event but survive?'

-Notice-

Those alive after the event ends will be allowed to leave the event area.

Zero let out a sigh of relief as it didn't say they would die or something. Zero made it into the zoo without seeing any living creatures, however there were multiple different blood stains. 'Well something came in here.' Zero walked through the large dome like area, finding no body parts in the process. 'Its an animal, otherwise there would be bodies.'

Zero quickly scoped the place out, his pistol pointed forward and ready to be used. When he didn't find any threats within the large domed area, he quickly started hatching a plan. 'From what I saw, the Seeker beam doesn't go farther then 300 ish feet from me before stopping. I have a feeling that could change if I fire it with multiple fingers, however I will test it out when the time comes.' Zero quickly looked around until he found a service stairs, which lead to the domes maintenance board walk.

Zero started running up the stairs, taking two steps at a time as he thought about the current situation. 'The window said a third party "Payed" for an event to happen. That would suggest that things are watching this happen to our planet... but if those watching can pay for things to happen... Is the world a Snitch stream?' Zero laughed to himself at the throw away comment before he opened the small door that led to the cat walk on the inside of the dome.

Zero crawled onto the cat walk, which was just big enough for his shoulders to squeeze into and had a thin wall separating him from view. The first thing he did was locate the service panel on the dome that lead out to the roof. Once on the roof, he quickly took a look around. 'The area is to exposed. With a potential sniper in play, anything moving in view of one of these higher buildings would be asking to be a target.'

Zero sighed before quickly checking out the rest of the buildings roof. As he quickly made his way around the buildings roof, he found five different ways to the roof which would allow your average human to ascend. He knew that there were multiple different variables such as parkour, or in what Zero was most unsure of, Abilities.

'Window, is there different types of abilities?'

-Notice-

Host is able to search Ability types through the shop

Zero sighed before moving back towards the balcony window before his vision went black.

Zero's eyes opened to the same roof he had seen every time he opened his eyes. "....SNIPER!!" Zero sat up with frustration. 'I knew the roof was to exposed!'

Hello author here,

Information-Parkour is the act of getting from point A to point B in a more fluid style. (Yes I got that off the internet) There is no good way to explain it, so I'd suggest looking up "The Office Parkour"

Anyway as always,

I hope you liked the chapter :)
