Unexpected encounter

The sun rised, the scene is magical, Cole is a fan of sunrises, since the colors produced is just so comforting to his eyes.

"Goodmorning!" Cole shouted to Jack's ear. Jack got frightened, but he wasn't in the mood of getting up, so he went back to sleep. "AHHHHHH." Cole shouted, "STOP." Jack shouted back to Cole, his ear drums were gonna pop. He just wasn't in the mood, he wanted to rest.

"Jack get up, we have to understand more about the system." Cole whined at Jack, he wanted to figure it out together. "No, do it alone." Jack replied to Cole with anger.

Cole just agreed to Jack's desire to sleep, he went and looked at his system. At his skills section he saw Great domain basic cultivation Lv.1 included in his skills set. He was curious about it does.

This martial art will make you the strongest, so don't disappoint it.

Sit cross legged and the info will be passed through.

Cole started at the description behind the text, he didn't understand anything, only slightly, it was all mysterious to him, but those stuff are for the future, he shouldn't bother.

Cole started to sit as the skill instructed, and as soon as he sat be felt like he understood it, the information was transmitted to his brain, and it adapted to his muscle memory, as if he could cultivate it instinctly.

Cole took a deep breathe in, and the flow started! The mist essence that was stored within his body, was flowing like a river, but unlike other rivers or streams. Cole's river was a heavenly one, pure with no impurities, and the mist essence was in the form of its origin.

Cole started to cultivate, because he had a cheat cultivation manual compared to others, he managed to cultivate the 3 essences in about 20 min. Come was pretty inversed with his time cultivating, the feeling was pretty good.

"AUGHHH." Cole felt sudden pain come from his abdomen. It was like his stomach was gonna explode. The reason behind this is that the energy is so pure that his normal body can't contain it.

Cole went and lied down on the ground from the pain, Jack saw Come and rushed for the rescue. "Cole! Cole! Can you hear me!" Jack shouted at Cole to see if he can hear anything. Cole was feeling dizzy from the pain and from the purity of the energy. Cole fainted...

Time passed and passed Cole still wouldn't wake up, Jack was worried for Cole's well-being, he started cultivating already, and he was amazed, he felt his body becoming stronger unnaturally, this world's laws really changed.

Jack's strength is now about twice as before, and only two days passed since about the apocalypse. This was expected, there are monsters stronger by alot more than what humans understanding could figure out. This university which was thought to be normal, holds many mysteries.

"Ahhhh why does my body feel so sore." Cole exclamed as he got up from the ground, Jack looked at Cole with surprise, because he was cultivating, he didn't realize what was going on around him, because both Cole and Jack are martial arts fans. The fact that this world turned into a world where martial arts hold its basis made them excited.

"Why do you look more fine." Jack was confused but excited at the same time, gym sharks will understand.

"Fine? Did you turn gay." Cole replied to Jack with disgust because he reeked of rotten smell.

"Look at the mirror and you will understand." Jack said excitingly for his friend, he always was sad that Cole looked so frail, a stick, a pole, a thin wire, a string that could snap anytime, a frail ant, lizard.

GASPPP!!

Cole's disgusted face went into a huge smile, his body became muscular, it looked like the lean fitness type, that his friend likes, the guy that they don't know where he is.

Just as both Cole and Jack were freaking out, four-eyes came, the mysterious friend that was escaping from the two devils. hehehe..

"Hey Sam, sup!" Cole said to Sam while his smile didn't diminish. Sam didn't recognize who Cole is, that body was so fantastic that he didn't expect that twig to have it. "Cole? two days passed and you already have abs." Sam said with teary eyes, how could someone magically get a body like that.

"Why are you holding that grocery bag like there isn't anything scary outside." Jack said while staring at Sam like he's a crazy.

"Can't I go grocery shopping? You guys look like as if a war happened." Sam said while laughing at them. Both Cole and Jack stared intensly at him. The situation outside is scary and this guy is acting like he's playing around at the playground.

They were still relieved that their dear friend was alive, he seemed like was toying around with the zombies, that damn four-eyes ungrateful friend that didn't even bring boritos and gringles on his way.

They were STARVING! Fooddd.. foods..

Both Cole and Jack approached Sam like hungry zombies, they were share Sam's curry rice, the canned food inside the bag wasn't appetizing to them.

"My curry rice, THOU SHALL NOT APPROACH." Sam said while defending his food, he was gonna go outside, but he figured out that's a bad idea, Just gave up in the end, he wanted to eat it alone, since most stores near them were raided.

Their neighborhood was full of people, pretty packed.

growll... growllll...

Every panicked, they rushed to the window and looked outside, this monster looked ugly, so ugly like a blob of meat.

Sam went to hide behind the lamp, while Cole and Jack just stood there shocked, a monster like that? will they be able to defeat it.

Cole wanted to take this opportunity before others, he didn't want to stay back like a coward, but his body said otherwise, he was more intensely this time, like a drill digging into the ground.

Cole's unexpected reaction was that, all this fear disappeared in an instant. The reason behind this must be the great domain basic meditation he did before four hours of his coma. This pure energy was supporting his body, and he felt immense strength.

"I think that monster came at the right time." Cole said as he was trying to act cool. That stupidity of his will get him killed. in this apocalypse monsters grow faster by alot, due to the direct influence of the virus concentration after the meteorite fall.

The virus and mist essence have similarities.

Everyone was in a miserable state, that monster seems alot stronger than the rest, but each one of them knew the benefit of the risk taken. This benefit can't be left easily. They will probably be able to get good rewards.

Cole went and opened the door. "We can do this, just have the courage." Cole surprisingly said while stepping down, ready for battle. This is their scariest encounter till now. It truly is an unexpected encounter.

they will bring that monster down, and start on an unending journey of hardships.
