Radley awoke in a world that made no sense. Follow Radley in this crazy fantastic new world with a system called DIFF (Death is for Fools).

Radley's First Level Up!

The creature chased after Radley who had used his speed ability to climb a tree, but it turned out that the creature was just as adept at climbing trees. Radley grabbed a vine and swung away. He just needed to stall. The creature was already mortally wounded so he could die any moment. The creature pounced towards him as Radley used all his strength to pull himself vertically so his legs pointed upwards towards the sky. The creature crashed into the ground missing Radley by an inch. The creature was losing its momentum as it tried climbing up the tree again only to fall to the ground. It was to be expected due to the fact that he tore its own organs apart with all its flamboyancy. It slowly slowed down to a crawl and rested on the ground. Radley climbed down the tree and made his way towards the animal. The creature had no strength to fight back. Radley placed his hand on its head and tried soothing it. It didn't take long for the creature to finally succumb to his mortal wounds. A popup appeared, 1250 Invo points, 5 Diff points.

His body started to feel like it was on fire. Visible vapor was coming from him, it was like his sweat was being boiled away. A sonic blast erupted from him as the pain suddenly subsided. WHAT THE HELL!? That was the level up, it burned like hell. A new popup came up. Congratulations, you have just achieved invigoration. Achievement achieved: My first Invigoration +10 diff points. In all honesty, he wasn't looking forward to the next level. Even Blobby became larger the size of a large dog. This surprised him. Just a little while ago he was barely larger than a Chihuahua, and now he was actually starting to look scary.

He went to not so little Blobby and patted him on his head, "Good boy, oh wait. I am not even sure you are a boy, but calling you 'it' is a bit much. Guess I will stick with calling you him."

He checked his own stats with the new level up. Holy cow! He was three times what he previously was: Attack: 6

Defense: 6

Agility: 8

If he had these stats he might have even been able to take on the previous guy. Eat your heart out dickweeds! Now he was one level closer to kicking Nora's ass as well as that uptight Adira. That woman really needs to remove the stick up her ass.

He looked at the beast. That was a lot of horns. The ones on the back were just too unwieldy, but he might be able to create some wrist guards with the side, and what if he fed the meat to Blobby. What sort of crazy concoction would happen there?

He looked at himself. His armor did its job but only to a certain extent, and then he noticed it. His wounds were all gone!? Now he didn't need to struggle with that and could hit the road as soon as he was done. The problem was. It was going to take long. He will probably have to work through most of the day and night. Great…

By midnight he finally achieved a new pair of gauntlets made from this horned mongoose. He had also fed the meat to Blobby which made him look even scarier. What was cool about Blobby was the fact that he still had his spine shot which made two areas cleared of horns on his shoulders and his venom bite. Dope! Not to mention his underbelly was as tough as nails compared to the mongoose. He was completely black, even his horns were black making him look even eviler. Radley was like a giddy child. Now he had a partner who could truly help him in fights. He might even consider tackling level five beasts now.

It was at the dark of night but he was still at the river. He was stuck here for almost two days! He needed to move on. He scanned his new gauntlets. For a pair of gauntlets, they were pretty surreal if he had to compare it to his sandals. Unfortunately, a full body armor would have just stood in the way. Pity.

He packed up his things and made his way along the river because that was the way he was being pointed towards by the system.

It suddenly stopped right in front of a sheer cliff that pointed upwards. The last time he had to do something like this he had to compensate with his axe. He wondered how it would go this time.

He climbed the first few rocks and felt he didn't really feel anything at all. Even his stamina bar said as much. Interestingly, scaling this rock should be easier at least. The further up he went the hairier the ascent became. There were fewer footholds and crevices to work with, and the worst bit was the cliff face was starting bend…the wrong direction. His stamina bar while was still very high but he noticed it had started to decline. Lucky Blobby. He had that amazing claws that allowed him to punch into even rock. He had to move sideways to avoid the ever-increasing incline. He needed a crack or something that could take him all the way, otherwise, he will need to use power slam and that probably wasn't a good idea this high up.

Luckily he found a nice crevice that took him past the annoying deformity in the cliff face. He made his way through the mist and onto the platform where he was greeted with light rain. Great rain. He looked up to find that the sun was shining. No clouds even insight? In was a small grassy platform that le4ad into a small tunnel that slowly opened up on the other side in the form of a crack. Blobby shook his body like a dog to get the moisture off his body.

Radley petted him with a smile. At least he had one companion. He made his way out the tunnel, but when he did, what he saw made his jaw drop.
