Levelist
Cassius slowly walked around the halls as he went past the numerous amounts of dead bodies. Some bodies looked more human than others. Suddenly Cassius saw a hand swing at his staff, but luckily managed to retract it on time. He then saw a horde of Zombies slowly limping towards him.
(It's now or never!)
Cassius then used all his strength to stab the Zombie, but instead he only managed to push it back along with the others.
"Fuck…" Muttered Cassius.
Cassius continued to repeat this motion, even though the staff was weak, it's range proved useful. After many attempts, one Zombie finally went down for good, and Cassius saw a two new screen appear.

[Player has received 50 Fame.]
[Would you like to mute the loot Notification]
[Yes]
[No]

Cassius pressed yes to the muting. Cassius also wanted the 3+ stats increase, but saw a Zombie getting to close and missed his intended target.
[Skill]
Cassius then killed another Zombie, but they continued rushing at him, but suddenly a new screen appeared in from of Cassius.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
[Level Up] [Using this command will temporarily increase all stats, by one] [Skill consumes 1 mana per minute the skill is used]
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Cassius saw the screen and immediately realized that he need this skill.
"LEVEL UP!" Commanded Cassius.
Cassius's stats then increase, and suddenly he realized the benefits of his single level up.
(What is this, it's showing me weak spots the Zombies have… Sense that's why I can see this now.)
Cassius then strikes one of the Zombies, and sees he immediately kills it. Cassius then realizes that everyone other zombie has a different weak point, but the further back the Zombies are, the less he can see the weak points. Cassius then began slaughtering the zombies, but with his level up skill, he was managing to kill them in one hit if he hit them in a weak point.
(I see. So weak points double the strength I inputted. My strength currently is 2 plus the 1 from the staff, and I deal 3 per hit, but with a weak point I do 6 instead. I've hit the Zombies with 3 hits before and only until the 3rd hit is it really effective. Meaning Zombies only have 5 hp so each powerful strike to a weak point kills them.)
Cassius noticed that he had also gotten faster, as he managed to retract and strike quicker.
(Speed is incredible with just this +1 I am able to hit so much faster. I think this should be an investment, but I need both Strength, and Sense.)
4 minutes had gone by and Cassius then finished off another Zombie and saw a screen showing he had leveled up again. Cassius debated getting stats or a skill, but in the end decided for stats. A new screen then appeared with his stats and + next to them.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
[Strength: 2] [+]
[Defense: 2] [+]
[Speed: 2] [+]
[Mana: 2] [+]
[Sense: 2] [+]
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Cassius the quickly pressed Sense once and Strength twice. The surge in strength made him ignore the weak points and Cassius started killing Zombies without the need for weak points. Cassius began killing them off one by one and after 16 minutes his skill stopped and he finished off the final Zombie roaming the hall. Cassius was panting as he attempted catching his breath. He looked around and saw the numerous corpses around him as he saw two new messages appear.
"Fuck… I actually managed to do it." Said Cassius as he looked at the screen.

[Player has leveled up, please choose one of the following options]
[+3 Stats]
[Skill]

[Player is the 5th to complete hidden challenge, 100 Zombie Kills. Rewards for completing Hidden Challenge.]
[+4 Stats]
[Skill upgrade ticket]
[Bonus Item]
[Claim all]
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Cassius looked at the screens and decided to head to the restroom instead of being out in the open. He continued to look at the screen and realized that he would receive all the Hidden Challenge rewards. Cassius pressed the claim all, and received the rewards. He added 2 stats to speed, and added 2 stats to strength. A new screen appeared that he had never seen before.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
[Would Player like to upgrade skill [Level Up]]
[Yes]
[No]
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Cassius pressed the yes options and a new screen appeared showing him his new skill.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
[Level Up] [Level: 2] [Using this Command will temporarily increase all stats, by two] [Skill consumes 1 mana per minute the skill is used.]
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Cassius was surprised by the skill's upgrade. His base strength was already 5, with the bonus that he gets from this new level up his strength will be at 7. Cassius looks at his stats and sees that his mana is still at 0.
"Damn it takes a while for a single mana to regenerate." Said Cassius to his slime.
His health was still at full, so his slime was not really proving any help for the moment, but he then looked carefully at his level up rewards. Unlike his Hidden Challenge reward, he could only pick one. Cassius was confident in his strength so he ruled out Stats from the beginning so he looked at both the random item option and the skill.
Cassius was lucky that he pressed the skill option when he did because he was tempted to press it again. Right now Cassius's issue wasn't his stats, but his mana regeneration. To use his skill he need lots of mana, but was the one stat of his, that was still at 1.
(Either I invest all 3 stats on mana, or I test my luck with a new skill. The item is risky, but I haven't even seen what I could get.)
Cassius decided that mana was top priority so he ruled out the new skill, but he looked at the random item option. Cassius decides to tempt fate, and presses the random item option.

[Player has received [Magician's Boost]]
[Would player like to activate [Magician's Boost]]
[Yes]
[No]
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Cassius pressed the yes option and sees a screen pop up.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
[Player's mana will now regenerate every 3 minutes instead of every 6 minutes.]
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
A smile grew on Cassius's face as he got more excited at the thought of his stats improving. Cassius was glad his mana regeneration was faster, but still frustrated that he had to wait 3 minutes to get mana back.
"If I had mana every 6 minutes, that means I would have had at least 23 minutes of Level Up, but I only had 20. With Level Up my Mana went up to 2 turn it to 20 mana in my storage," Reviewed Cassius to himself as he thought about the situation. "I was constantly using mana, so maybe my body can't regenerate mana and use mana at the same time."
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
[God Hecate smiles at your deduction. Player has received 500 Fame.]
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Cassius looks to check the amount of Fame he had and saw his fame was at 5,500. Each Zombie was worth 50 Fame, so the math made sense. Cassius checked his clock and saw it was still only 2, he also checked the amount of people left and the number hadn't really changed.
"I'm level 4, I shouldn't really be that cocky. I'll just stay here and wait until my mana is full recovered," Planned Cassius as he sat down in the corner of the restroom. "The Lecture hall could make a good temporary camp, but I need to secure myself so I can rest for the night. If I want to escape… I have to kill the rest of the people. It's one against 8,000…"
Cassius grew a smiled as he got back up opened his arms and looked at the ceiling.
"PREPARE TO BE ENTERTAINED!!! NO NIGHT IS A BLOODY NIGHT!!!!"
