Tutorial Complete

"I.." Rash said as he stared at me who had frozen.

"What have I done.." My voice sounded as the body of the doctor fell to the ground, I stood as he stared at his hands which trembled in fear.

"He's back" Tasha breathed out in relief, for a moment, she had thought that I would move to them next to kill them.

"Dom, calm down and look at me" Rash said to me whose mind was messed up, I felt like he was having a mental breakdown.

"What was that now, that feeling of power, and the taste of the blood in my mouth, so sweet, wait no, what am I, a vampire, or something worse' I was thinking about a thousand things at the same time.

"Dom snap out of it and help me out of these binds, I think I know what you are" Rash said which brought me out of his daze and back to the real world.

"Aren't you like afraid of me?" I asked.

"Uh yeah seeing you freak out like that is a bit scary but I can see that you are more scared than I am, maybe even more, and I know that the I I know will never do that" Rash said with a shrug.

"But what if that is the real me, what if I am a psychopathic killer who enjoys murder" I said with a mixed expression as he glanced at Rash.

"Rash don't let them get in your head, you know that's not you" Rash said to convince me who was confused.

"No I know myself, and what he said was true, when I was killing the zombies, I could feel the rush and I enjoyed it" I said with a look of conviction.

"Yeah obviously you will feel good, did you expect to feel bad about protecting yourself, listen to me Dom, the world is changing and now it's kill or be killed, that's the rule now when I told you about my past, you helped me realize that sometimes the mistakes we make in the past shouldn't determine who we are in the future, instead we should focus on the present" Rash said as he noticed that I's hand had stopped trembling.

"You're right, the present determines the future, I might not know what is going on with me but I know that I will never let that part control me, thank you for making me understand how dumb you are, hahahahaha, what!, you thought I was broken, oh my God, hahaha, you should see the look on your face" I said as his expression changed abruptly.

"Huh, that was all an act, great, just great, you know what, fuck you okay, you piece of shit, you got all psyched up thinking you were about to go all psycho and you just change at once, now I don't even know which one should scare me more" Rash said with a chuckle as I untied him and helped him up.

"Are you sure you are okay?, I mean I'm not underestimating you or anything but that was some intense shit" Christina said with a frown as I also untied her while Rash untied Tasha.

"Trust me, I'm okay, but I'm still curious as to what that was, my cut's even healed" I said with an intrigued smile as he watched the green light flow into his body like a flood.

"Uh that feels good" I said with a look of pleasure.

"Okay that's disgusting" Rash said with a look of disdain.

"Hmm, where is this?" Christina asked.

"I think this is the surgical room, the control room is on the same floor if we just move thro.." As he was explaining, I paused as the other's eyes lit up in shock.

"Ding"

[Congratulations to all surviving contestants on completing the 'Nightmare Apocalypse' tutorial: 'Hospital Of The Undead']

"Wait did hear right, this was a freaking tutorial" Rash said in anger.

[Rewards will be issued shortly, meanwhile, all surviving contestants will be transported out of the Zone in a few minutes]

"This is so fucked up right now" Rash remarked with a sigh as he leaned on the bed while thinking.

"If a tutorial was so hard then how will the main shit itself be" Tasha mused with a grunt, there were so many unknowns now and this made the situation more confusing and dangerous.

"Argg, my arm..it burns!" I yelled as I grabbed my arm in pain, a burning sensation spread out from the tattoo to my whole arm.

"What's going on with your arm" Rash said in alarm as he glanced at my arm warily.

"It's glowing" Christina spoke as a bright glow spread out from my tattoo.

"Fuck…arrg" I groaned in agony as I felt pain like never before, it was like my arm had been dipped in boiling hot soup and was being fried slowly.

"Shit, what do we do?" Tasha asked as they all stared at me in confusion, they had no idea what was going on so they didn't know what to do.

"Shout we cut it off?" Rash asked as he grabbed a scalpel.

"What?, fuck you asshole" I said as I glanced at my arm which was having some changes, I watched while gritting my teeth as I tried to endure the pain.

"It's spreading" Christina said as we all saw lines extending from the tattoo to form a strange symbol on my arm.

"Huh, it's gone" I said in surprise as the pain disappeared as soon as the glow on the tattoo also disappeared.

"How do you feel?" Christina asked as she helped me up and unto the bed where I panted in pain and tiredness, the mental and physical strain that had been on me since the beginning had mysteriously disappeared, I could feel my thoughts getting clearer, and my strength had also increased, my perception also sharpened as I could hear the breathing of all the people in the room including mine.

"Wait someone's coming" I said suddenly as my face adopted a serious expression, I could feel the power and pressure from the person or thing approaching, it was even more than that of the spider.

"Who's c…" Rash paused as a sharp sound echoed behind us, we all turned towards the steel door as we watched a blade pierce through the door easily.

SHRRRNG

An irritating noise sounded as we grabbed our ears and watched as the blade moved along the edges of the door, forming a rectangle before it disappeared causing us to hold our breath.

BANG

A strong force struck the door from behind and threw it back causing it to slam against the wall creating an imprint, seeing this we shuddered as multiple thoughts swarmed through my mind as I tried to think of ways to escape with the others, knowing full well that even my current newfound strength couldn't save us from what or whoever was coming for us.

"Whoever you are, come out where I can see you" I said with false confidence just to pacify the minds of my friend as I got off the bed and grabbed my axe which was lying on the ground, and stared at the door.

BADUM

BADUM

I grabbed the axe tightly as I watched a leg come from outside into the room, my heart immediately started beating faster as I watched an arm with a katana also come through followed by the rest of the body, as the figure stood up straight, we could finally see the full appearance of the intruder.

"A man.." I muttered in shock as I stared at the man who was calmly staring at us, he was an Asian, a Japanese specifically with black hair and a stunning appearance, he wore a suit that was stained with blood, and in his left hand was a katana and his right hand was a briefcase, he had sharp and observing eyes that looked like they could pierce through your soul, all in all, he looked like a CEO of a big company that had found himself in an apocalypse.

"Who are you?" Rash was the first to speak as he asked in a shaky voice.

"It's you" The man said with a smile as he stared at my arm which was bare and showed my tattoo which I quickly covered.

"He asked you a question, who are you?" I asked as I stared at the man warily, his behavior threw me off, but somehow I felt like I knew him from somewhere.

"You forgot me so fast Domi boy" The man said with a laugh as I froze in shock, a particular memory flashing through my mind as I glanced at the man with recognition.

"Logan, is that you?" I asked in shock as I recognized a long-time family friend.

"It's good to see you too but we don't have much time, we weren't expecting it to happen so soon but we still put some measures in place in case it did" Logan said with a sigh as he approached us causing Rash and the others to back off.

"It's okay guys I know him" I calmed the others down as I turned to Logan in confusion.

"What are you talking about Logan?" I asked.

"I know what I'm about to say may sound crazy but please just believe me, that tattoo on your hand is one of the seals of ouroboros" Logan said with a serious expression as he stopped in front of me and looked at me in the eye.

"What?, uh slow down" I shook my head as I tried to wrap my head around what he said, I didn't even know what the seal of ouroboros was.

"I know it's confusing but you have to believe me, I've been looking for you for so long so please just listen, all you need to know is that you come from a whole generation of supernaturals under the cause called 'The Order Of Oubourus', the very first shapeshifters on earth and also some of the ones who sealed the Gamemaster, look at this symbol" Logan said to me as he raised his katana and showed me the hilt where a tattoo similar to the one on my arm was imprinted boldly, as soon as I saw it, my eyes went dark as I appeared in a strange empty void.

"Hello, Long Wang, nice to see you again" A man with golden hair and a bewitching smile said to me as he appeared out of nowhere.
