The Beginning of Death : Chapter 4

After waiting out the timer Jack felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.

Pulling it out it said.

Reach the 3rd floor safe room before the time runs out

Time 2:59:55

Most of the people left following Odelette out of the doors, most of them were shaking and were scared of what was to come in the 3rd floor of the building. Although most of the people behind her were afraid of the monster Odelette was preparing one of her invited gifts to end the monster once and for all. As she was walking down the hall she heard the monster walking towards her and her group.

Odelette "Throw chairs at it so it is slowed down!"

Everyone "Ok!"

While the people were going into the classrooms to grab chairs to fend off the monster Jack was following closely behind them with emotionless eyes expecting many to die.

Jack "Bellivir, follow the monster."

Bellivir then left Jack's shadow and moved along the floor.

No one noticed the inconspicuous shadow moving along the floor unnaturally.

Bellivir eventually reached the monster's shadow and was preparing to jump out and sneak attack the monster.

Jack thought 'Bellivir not yet wait for the right moment.'

----

Jack found out he could communicate with his shadow soldiers with his thoughts while he was walking and thinking about how his soldiers actually managed to get into and leave his shadow.

Jack 'Well lets experiment, Bellivir come out'

Bellivir then rose out of his shadow towering over him due to his immense height of seven feet (213.36cm).

Jack 'Ok go back quick so no one sees you.'

Jack was worried someone might see him so he hurried Bellivir back who bowed first then returned to his shadow.

------

After the people threw chairs and whatever they could find at the monster Odelete pulled what seemed to be some sort of ball out of her silver bag. It had a small almost unnoticeable lightning bolt on it.

She wound her arm back and threw it at the monster who was struggling to get through all the chairs that were blocking its path.

As the ball flew through the air it popped open and when it hit the monster a huge boom occured.

Lightning struck the monster and it slowly fell backward and everyone was celebrating but Odelette knew it couldn't be that easy and was looking for anything out of the ordinary when she noticed Jack down the hallway he was smiling and waving at her for what seemed to be no reason.

Odelette then hurriedly turned around and saw a black great sword piercing straight through the monster's head. Just as she saw the sword it seemingly vanished out of thin air like it was just a shadow that had light shone upon it. Odelette could barely even tell if it was real or not due to how fast it disappeared.

Odelette 'Hmm, What was that exactly? Was it Jack that caused that? How did he do it? There are too many questions and not enough answers, I need to investigate more in the future.'

---------

As Jack noticed the ball shoot out lightning he saw the monster fall back but he also noticed that it was still moving so he told Bellivir to kill it quickly so no one would notice him. Jack saw Odelette turn around as if looking for something out of the ordinary so he smiled and waved at her too which she quickly whipped her head around.

Jack 'Hopefully she didn't see Bellivir's sword killing the monster but if she did I will just have to make sure she keeps quiet about it.'

After that he quickly made his way up the stairs and began to head towards the safe room.

Suddenly he heard a clicking noise and three arrows shot out at him to which he just barely avoided two of them the other one scratched his arm causing it to bleed. Jack flinched in pain but soon recovered and tied a rag he found in one of the classrooms around the wound so that it would bleed less.

Jack 'Well I should assume that instead of monsters this floor would instead have traps so I should take my time and look out for the traps.'

Jack then began to head down the hallways cautiously so that he could be ready in case there were any sudden traps that could hurt him severely. As Jack was heading down the hall he heard the pitter patter of footsteps behind him and noticed the group that was although very far away making their way towards him when the traps began to activate.

Suddenly three arrows shot out and two hit one person while Odelette avoided the other one.

Jack only shook his head and continued down the hall cause due to the fact that there would most likely be more deaths due to the rest of the traps. After walking a few more steps two spears stabbed out of the ground and he jumped and rolled out of the way of them. Then another trap was activated that shot out darts that came close to hitting him but he ducked under them.

Jack then got up slowly and moved to one of the walls so that no traps could hit him in the back and slowly moved his way down the halls avoiding any traps that activated on his way. He soon made it to the safe room and took a seat in the corner of the room while waiting for the others to arrive.

Reach the 3rd floor safe room before the time runs out

Time 0:30:20

After an hour and a half the rest of the people arrived although they looked pretty beat up Odelette looked completely fine. Most of them had downcasted looks on their face with their heads hanging low due to the fact that four people died on the path to get to the safe room.

Jack was pleasantly surprised that only four people died. He assumed almost half of them would die and there would be a lot of injured but only a few got injured and not many died.

Soon they saw a portal appear behind the teachers podium and saw Sam the guide walk out of it with a smile on his face.

Sam" Well congrats on passing the first through third floor of the tutorial. Soon you will be able to arrive at the gate to paradise but there is still one more part left till that."

Many people were enraged and yelled various curses at sam

Random person 1 " What do you mean so many of us have either died or been injured this is blasphemy!"

Random person 2 "Yeah this is crazy!"

Sam " Cough Cough... Well this is the easiest part it is just like a scavenger hunt "

Sam then drew coins on the board and explained " You will have to find coins to access the gate to paradise it takes 300 coins to open the door to the ceiling where the portal is at and it takes 100 coins to be able to use the portal.Any extra coins you get can be used at the roulette machine to get many different things like spell balls, weapons, and protective gear. Also when you open the door to the ceiling more monsters will appear. "

People "What do you mean!"

Random person 3 "It took us so much to kill one now we have to deal with more"

Sam "Well they only appear when the door is open so don't open it till you are ready."

Everyone was nodding their heads and were agreeing that they couldn't open it till everyone was ready.

Sam "Well if you all work together then it will be easy. Also make sure you get them all quickly since the hour of the dead will begin at 12 am."

The people had puzzled faces due to what Sam just said.

Jack was in the back with a serious face on. He inferred that they would be the people that had previously died on the first two floors. Luckily there were not many who died, only a total of ten or eleven people who died in total.

Jack decided to just get the coins he needed and headed out of the classroom as soon as Sam disappeared and began collecting his coins.
