a big rat

I had one big attack left. [100% charged] 'luckily it doesn't consume mana.' The big rat screamed, then a lot of other rats came. "What do we do!?" Karl was obviously worried.

"We either kill the big rat, or kill all of the normal rats!" 'Wait, the "normal" rats are also big.'

"Let's try to kill the big rat!" Carl replied. "How long do you think you can use the aura?" I asked while cutting one rat. "Four minutes at best!"

"Okay we'll do one big attack to kill it!" I said, as I handed him my sword. "Should I use it?" Carl asked. "Yes!! Why else would I give you it!" I yelled. "I'll clear the way."

"Crap what if I miss?" Athanos said to himself. "Damn it, I know he trusts me but I have never used a bow." As Athanos continued to think. "Athanos! Don't think just shot when told!" Said Hyun Cho. 'Yeah. There's no need to overthink.' [activating personal attribute] [activating stigma] 'I can do this.'

"Get ready Carl!" I said as I kicked a rat. 'Last chance.' "Run towards it now!" As I said that we began to run.

There were ten rats in front of us. "I will have one attack left after this!" As I said that, I gathered all my mana into my fist and punched.

Whoosh!

A gust of wind, then. Boom!! Crack!! A loud explosion, bones breaking and the flesh of fifteen rats blowing up. "Go now!" I yelled. "Got it!" As I almost fell Carl ran at the big rat. "This is where you will die." He said calmly.

Clank! Crack!

He almost made it through. "Activate!!" Quickly a red beam came and rushed towards the rat. "Screech!!" The sound of glass breaking. "Shit it's not enough!" Carl yelled. "Now!" I yelled.

Whoosh.. In a instant someone shot an arrow.

"Plop." The big rat was killed instantly. 'What was that skill?' "Yo Carl kill the rest of the monsters with us." I said in an exhausted voice. "Yeah." Carl sounded tired.

After wiping out most of the rats left we looked around. 'Nothing much.'

[ding!] "huh?" [completed hidden scenario] [clear reward: 6000 coins and a uncommon rank item of your choice] 'it's being real generous.' "Wow!" Athanos came down. "6 thousand coins! What should we buy?" "Wow that's a lot." Carl said. [you have been gifted a total of 3500 coins] 'oh sheep.' Funnily enough I saw a black sheep about the size of my arm and went to touch it. [you have made a contract with a ******* ****] at that. "What the f***! I just wanted to pet a cute sheep!" 'Why was my swear word blocked? It can't be, the sheep?!' (Yes it's me) As I looked at the sheep surprised, the sheep sounded like a kid, Athanos and Carl came. "What are you screaming about?" Carl asked. "I somehow made a contract with this sheep." "Aww it's so cute." Athanos said, as he went to pet it. "And it's so soft!" Athanos hugged the sheep, like there was no tomorrow. "At least he's happy." [the seal has been lifted] 'oh yeah.' [due to this inconvenience you will be gifted 1000 coins] 'no new skill?' "Attribute window." 'I need to check everything.

"Anyway let's go up." I said. Everyone nodded. I made the sheep smaller then put him on my shoulder. Then we went back up.

"Oh, people came out!" A low tier looking guy came, and yelled to his boss. 'This will suck.'

We then saw the boss again. "Yo good to see your not dead!" He said. "My name is Jack by the way."

'Why does it sound unoriginal.' "I am Hyun Cho, that's Carl and Athanos." I replied.

"Good, you guys can join if you want." "Sorry but change of plans. Can I buy one of your women?" I said. 'Holy shit that sounds so cringe.' "Who is it?" He asked while going up to the second floor.

"She's called Maria." At that he stopped. 'Wait.'
