The streets were lined with vendors and people shopping. Most ignored the men dragging Dylan and continued on with their daily activities. Others looked at Dylan with disdain, some with fear. One thing was certain...he was not welcome there.
"This is your new home monster. Our people hate monsters so try not to get into too much trouble, it doesn't matter to me considering you will die either way."
This sucked for Dylan, seeing as he couldn't feel pain it was going to be a long and slow death. A long and slow death? Now that's no fun at all! In fact, it's the opposite, it's quite boring.
Whilst the men dragged Dylan along the cobblestone road the unimaginable happened...his leg got stuck between some rocks and got pulled off. Dylan could do nothing but clack his jaw and squirm as he tried to retrieve his leg.
"Damn humans! These stupid restraints are tighter than a tourniquet. There's gotta be something I can do...wait I HAVE MAGIC! Weird voice lady, what can I do for a spell that could help me in this situation?"

"Hmm, how do I use my skills? Do I just say them? INCREASE DENSITY! Dang...it didn't work"
'Hosts Density has Increased Temporarily'
"Only temporarily huh, well that's to be expected. I can't be too overpowered yet!"
Dylans body got thicker, causing him to way more than he did before. His new weight surprised the men dragging him and he slipped from their grip, falling to the ground.
"Ow!... Huh, you guys seem taller than you did before, or did I get shorter? Oh wait!"
Dylan scurried his way to his feet and rushed towards his lost leg which had been picked up by a little boy. The boy was showing what seemed to be his mother the leg with a wide grin. The look on his mother's was the exact opposite, one of fear and disgust. It wasn't long before she noticed the giant skeleton hurling towards her and her son.
"Damm kid, that's my leg! Give it back now!"
Dylan tried to yell at the kid but alas, he can't speak. All that was heard was the clacking if teeth smacking each other. When he got to the mother and son, he ended up just slapping the boy and taking the leg from him. With the mother in shock trying to care for her son, Dylan reattached his leg and started running away.
"Hehehehe, that was fun. The look on the mothers face was hilarious. I'm an awful person, I shouldn't find joy in the suffering of others, especially kids. But then again, I am a monster now and don't have to live by the foolish human morals. I can live by my own morals."
Dylan was making his way through the streets, people running into their homes or the nearest building. The men seemed to be chasing him again but they were a bit slower than before. This was due to Dylan getting used to his new body and no longer needing to hop through snow.
"Look at these nerds, you can tell they've never had to chase down a terrifyingly sexy, 7 foot skeleton who used to be a boy but now isn't down before."
'Density returned to normal levels'
Dylan returned to his normal self and picked up speed. Considering he weighed less than before he ran slightly faster which was enough to escape the men over time. By the time he escaped he was well out of the town and in the middle of a forest.
"Those humans never stood a chance against the likes of me. They're lucky that it didn't give them a good wallop, send them crying back to they're mama's!"
Stamina: 450/1830
"My stamina seems to drain rather quickly, I need to level up a lot more and get my stats up. I mean, stamina can stay low, it's not like I'll be running away or anything..."
Dylan slowed his pace down to a brisk walk. The forest was surprisingly lush for it being so close to a winter climate. In almost every direction there was something going on. To the north there was a baby deer, suckling on its mother...that's nasty. To the east and west there was...nothing worth noting. And to the south there was angry men running towards Dylan!
"Stupid determined pieces of shit! I can't believe they're still chasing after my fine ass. It's not like these goofy ass mo-fos could do anything to me anyway. I experience no pain and I'm pretty sure they know that. As long as I don't have to look at them I'll be fine I guess. But I won't make it easy for them, hehe!"
Dylan took off running again with his stamina slightly recovered. The humans behind him were visibly fatigued which caught Dylans attention considering that they still hadn't stopped. They were basically at deaths door and he knew what that looked like.
After some time running, the men seemed to drop back while some actually dropped. They were at their limit and couldn't push their mortal bodies any further. A shame really, never having the ability to experience a higher lifeform limits. It is a good thing though otherwise Dylan would've probably been caught before he got out of the town.
"What should I do with these men? I mean, they did kidnap me and threaten to torture me. It wouldn't have worked but it's the principle of the matter. I did also just mention that I need to increase my stats and what better way than by leveling up!? Humans give plenty of experience and these humans seem to be of high level!"
Dylan turned back towards the men who chased him and drew his sword. All the men were collapsed to the forest floor, breathing ad if they'll never breath again. They won't but they don't know that yet. Dylan readied his sword and plunged it into the first guy's chest. He did the same with each other person that was there resulting in him killing 8 more people.
