Chapter 2: Traveling Home

The goblin had just turned around when it hear footsteps coming closer to it, not expecting a fist to the face. Once my fist connected to its face, the goblin fell backwards a couple of steps and regain its balance.

<-1>

Looking at the number above the goblin as it appeared, I made a frown. 'That's to be expected since I don't have a weapon. Maybe I should use Stark till I get one.'

"Stark, use your breath attack" I say as I point at the goblin so he knows where to aim it to.

Stark jumps off me and in mid air released a huge breath attack with actual black flames.

<-50> showed up above the goblin as it was burning. it tried to stop and roll but that didn't stop the flames from continuing to burn.

<-10> kept popping up every second for the next twenty seconds before the goblin was burnt to a crisp.

I smiled as I watch the goblin burn down to nothing but a pile of bones. Once the fire was gone I walk up and touch the bone to see if that was the way I would gain the gold and items from everything.

I smile as I click on the Rusty dagger and look at the stats.

Damage: 4~6

description:

An old rusty dagger, careful don't poke yourself.

I laugh as I read the description and equip it so I can at least have a weapon to do more damage. I look behind me to see everyone else just now getting here. "Y'all sure did take your sweet as time getting here. I already killed a goblin and got a rusty dagger with 2 gold and 20 exp."

"Then next time, wait for us and don't run off like a maniac." Drakko said in a frustrated tone.

"So, shall we get going?" Pasco said walking back the way we came.

" Give me a sec to raise this guy and I will be set." I said as I turn back to the pile of bones as I raise one hand onto it and say "Rise my undead servant."

The pile of bones start to shake as they reform themselves back together and it gets back on its feet. With it standing up, it was still shorter then when it was a goblin. I check my status on the Undead skeleton.

STR: 5 (+20)

DEX: 5 (+30)

INT: 1

VIT: 10

Def: 16 (+25)

Abilities:

Reconstruction: when the undead skeleton dies or falls apart there is a chance that the skeleton will bounce back.

Looking at the little guy I smirk a bit before I turn around and follow them back down the road.

While I'm walking with the group, Stark runs and jumps around everything he could just to practice gliding. Since we knew where we were going, we took the time to take on a few monsters.

After a while of fighting monsters and heading home, we all noticed it was getting dark and had to find a spot to sleep for the night. Since the trip started in St. Joe and we were heading to wewa, it was mostly woods that we saw. We did meet alot of people along the way but most of them had no clue as to what was going on and what they were meant to do now that their cars and trucks stopped working out of the blue. Once we were on the edge of a small group of houses, we each looked into them to see if anyone was home. I had been a homeless person for what seemed to be most of my life, so noticing which homes were not in use was easy.

Once we located one without anyone living in it, we all gathered in the living room and sat an talked about everything that transpired today.

Once we were done talking I decided to look at what I had earned today.

Since I haven't had the time to use my points I decided to use them before laying down for the night. Looking at the stats I thought of uping the low stats to balance out everything but thought that is what everyone else would do so they could be better. So after a while of thinking of how I could improve not just myself but my abilities as well.

With my new stats I smile thinking I did the right thing. With my HP and MP being so low I can't really fight on the front line like everyone else so I stay back and use Stark to attack things. After a couple of fights with the group, Stark learned how to attack while paying attention to the rest of the group so they wouldn't get burned by the attack.

Thinking about Stark, I also choose to check it's stats and I was shocked by how much it had grown.

HP:420

*Dragon Claw: Deals a damage against target with its claws based on STR against target's Def.

* Flight: Locked due to level not high enough.

While I'm glad my pets can grow as fast as Stark did, I realized that I need to try and do something while fighting about my exp gains so I don't become slow in comparison. Since I already updated my stats I thought I should do the same for Stark and this is what it came out to be.

Smiling at how my Baby Black dragon has grown in power, I close his stats and lay down to sleep for the night.

The next morning, we all wake up and leave the house as we head back home yet again. Along the way after fighting monster after monster I start to think of a way I can gather more pets and servants to use. Getting the servants was the easy part thanks to my Raise the Dead ability. So after each battle while everyone else is catching their breath, I go around and Raise the Dead as much as I can. After a while of having them out and giving them weapons to use in a fight, I Dismiss them back into my own domain till the next fight.

Once it reaches lunch time, we all sit down to eat whatever we find. Growing up in the woods and living on the streets, you never knew when you would get your next meal and what it might be so we managed to skin a few snakes and a boar. Stark would light us a fire to cook the meat.

While we were cooking, Drakko says "Xander, why do you have two daggers if your just going to have your undead and pet do the attacking? It makes no sense to have them if you don't need them."

I don't bother to answer him because I dont see a reason why I should. Once he realizes I wasn't going to answer him, he threw a fit and tries to hit me in the head. Knowing how he is, I expected the hit and lean back so he misses and lands on the ground in the dirt.

"The reason doesn't matter to you so why should I say why I have them?" I say as I turn the meat around to cook the other side.

"Well its just not right that you have weapons if your not going to fight at all." Drakko says as he gets up.

"While that may be true Drakko, think of his class first. He is a beast tamer on top of a Necromancer. He doesn't really have to join the fight like the rest of us. Using his pets and undead will make him more useful so he can keep an eye on the bigger picture. Your an Paladin, so it makes sense that your on the front line. You picked your class just like the rest of us, so quit whining like a spoiled brat." Gage says as he points out why I don't join the fight like they do.

"Yeah but..." Drakko starts saying.

"No buts. I choose to dual class these two classes because in the long run, I will control the battlefield in a way you wouldn't understand or believe I could. And just like Gage said, you choose to become what you are just like I did, it's not my fault you didn't think far enough ahead." I say as a use a dagger to slice off a piece of boar meat to get a look at how cooked it is. "Besides, why can't I have a weapon? I wont always be around you guys when I go hunting. I got to have a weapon of my choosing so I don't slack off. I bet you haven't noticed the fact that despite the fact bows have given to me, I still haven't tried taking Gage's role as the archer of the group, even though my DEX is probably a little bit lower then his is."

Shocked by what Gage and I have said to Drakko, he shuts up and just eats in frustration and silence. We all do till we are full and start back on our journey home.
