(Leah's POV)

Thirty minutes ago. Leah opened her eyes awaken from her sleep, only to be suprcice by blue letters in her view.

"Wow" she exclaimed seeing the words, not expecting to be rewarded just by surviving for seven days.

She check her status to see anything knew, not expecting that the system displayed her equipment and hp, stamina, and mana,

Although she isn't into playing games, but have played a couple few of them. Knowing what hp, stamina, and mana means.

She noticed that the system doesn't register her clothes which were normal.

She stood up to see the necklace the system given to her next to her scimitar. Leah look around to be surprised again seeing Krass and the puppies

Krass who has grown taller and his fur now turned red. The cubs still the same but have grown larger noticable, she used [basic detection] on Krass.

________________________

Krass: level 13

Race: Great netherhound

________________________

She knew Krass is a netherhound since she used [basic detection] on the others. Seeing that Krass race was now changed from netherhound to a great netherhound.

Leah decided on finding out how Krass race changed and just thought that the reason is the system, since the system said that the beast restrictions are lifted.

Vroom!

Vroom!

Suddenly Leah heard a loud noise breaking her thought process. The others also awoken due to the noise that sounds like a motorcycle.

But before they could complain about the noise, just like her they were surprised at the system notification and receiving an item from the system.

However they were more surprised at the netherhounds, Krass who's appearance changed noticably and the netherhounds cubs that have grown very quickly.

"Incredible, the cubs grow really quick and Krass who has a race changed" Patrick exclaimed fascinated by Krass and the cubs as a whole species.

Then his thought went to the system and it's capabilities, seeing the notification about beast led him to the conclusion. Then what about others seeing that plant have grown outside the building.

Vroom!

Suddenly his thought was broken by the same noise again but this time it was closer.

He look to his side to see his sword, helmet and a chestplate that the system given to him. Patrick immediately wore the armor and strap the sword to his side.

"Get ready, I suspect that there will be trouble" Patrick urged the two.

"But where is Karl and Matt" Trish said in the sidelines. Now noticing that Karl and Matt were gone.

Hearing Trish the others also look around noticed that Both we're gone.

"Shit, where are they!" Patrick exclaimed.

"But they will be back, since Krass and the other netherhounds are still here" Leah said, looking at Krass who was now awake watching the cubs. Even though they have fought together as a team, they were still warry if Krass as it only listens to Karl.

VROOM!

The sound was getting louder and louder. Making the group were agitated, not know if the person who's driving the motorcycle a friend or foe.

Minutes passed and the noise stop at front of the pharmacy. The group were warry, and Krass was ready to pounce on them. Patrick neared the window, hoping to see or hear the group.

"Looks like this one was already looted" a person said with a lazy tone

Patrick heared the conversation from the outside and beckond the Leah, and Trish to stay quiet.

"Shut up, just check if there is still the-" another persons voice was heard but sounded angry

"Yeah yeah, or else will be in trouble" The lazy person said. Hewalked inside the pharmacy, the second person also followed behind.

Patrick went towards Leah and Trish to talk about his plan on what to do.

"You two should go down outside. While I'll use the stairs and talk to them whether there they'll kill me or not. While you guys will try to sneak up to them. You'll attack them after I give a signal but don't kill them" Patrick laid out his plan. And both nodded without a problem.

The group immediately split as Leah and Trish went outside using the window, Patrick used the stairs and walked as loud as he could.

"Whose there" Patrick said as louder as he can, hoping it will draw the groups attention.

And successfully he did. The two drawn by the voice and look towards the stairs to see Patrick emerged.

"Well well well. You must have taken all of the alcohol and morphine " said a man with a scar on his right lips. As he points his handgun on Patrick.

Patrick although was calm on outside, but was clearly panicking on the inside not knowing he'll be able to take a shot.

"Unfortunately, I just decided to camp here and the pharmacy was already opened" Patrick lied, as he noticed Leah and Trish sneaking towards both men.

Hearing Patrick's answer. A vein appeared towards a person with a bald head and a axe on his back. said "Well, if there isn't anything here. Then why not you come to our base."

Clearly the bald person have leveled up while the guy with a scar didn't, Patrick assess them.

"Really" Patrick questioned with a fake hopeful face. But he already labeled them as enemies.

"Why not. But first why not you give us the item your wearing" The bald person said with a smirk.

Patrick now fully assured that both person were here with bad attention, he shouted "Now"

Surprised by his sudden raised of voice. The person with a scar immediately shoot at Patrick, while the bald person turned around only to see a fist near his face.
