Night sets on the city as goblins and ogres can be heard roaming the streets. Any survivors that have made it this far are in groups or have found themselves small hiding places for safety. Though the crys of the unlucky few could be heard through the night as there dragged into the streets to be eaten or killed.
"This is a shit show," The captain cried out as he looks down from the third story window. "Another one got caught by those damn monster And there's nothing we can do about it."
The Captains gaze narrowed at the monsters before walking away from the window.
"It's not your fault. This game has been against the us from the beginning if it's like you said". Shawn says twords the Captain. "Your guns were effective at first but gave no experience for killing monsters. You weren't even given a chance though as your base was overwhelmed with numbers the second this whole thing started."
"Did you and your men pick pantheons yet at least." Shawn says with concern.
"Yes we have, though we ignorantly discarded the systems weapons in favor of our guns. The only system weapons we have are the knifes we managed to pick up off the goblins." The Captain responded back.
"What pantheon did you pick sir." Patt asked from beside him.
"I picked Christian, and so did a majority of my men."
"Ok, first thing tomorrow we should go out hunting. You and your men need to gain experience while you can before something bigger comes your way." Shawn said to the captain who nodded in agreement. After there conversation they both decided to try to get some sleep.
The first true night in the apocalypse went on to be an almost sleepless one as the cry's of monsters and unlucky survivors continued. It gave people unease and made them feel unsafe to fall asleep untill they finally forced themselves under.
The next morning more goblins had flooded the streets followed by ogres and a new type of monster. They looked to be about the same height as a goblin. Instead of green skin they had fur and tails. There hands ended in sharp claws and they use two short swords as weapons.
Everyone awakes around the same time exept for Rose who is still sleeping by the window.
The Captain gathers his people before handing out provisions and giving a rundown on the plan for the morning
"The group of fighters that saved us will take on the ogres while we deal with the goblins. Are goal is to level and be able to stand a chance against any future threats. They say it only take one goblin for your first level. So once you kill one help others before taking more. Understand!" He shouted loud to his solders.
The Captain was the first to take out a goblin.

The group they had was about a hundred strong with many of them skilled fighters. It wasn't hard for the soldiers to wipe out the goblins after the captains buff took affect, and since Shawn's party took care of the ogres it was treated as free exp. The new enemy Lycan didn't pose a challenge either. It surved as a good source of weapons for the army so each man was now equipped with a blade.
"Your men fight with our level of strength. What the hell kind of buff skill did you get", Patt asked the commander with supprise and jealousy.
"It's something called a hidden trait I guess. It has to do with me commanding an army, with the majority being from the Christian pantheon. It gives a three percent attack buff per ten players under me."
While they were talking, a group of ogres joined the fight. Though They were quickly dispatched of to the shock Shawn and his group.
"That's some serious bull shit. We fight tooth and nail to get are levels up and you beat a group of ogres with one skill. How is that balances at all," Patt yells, taking it out on a few lycans and goblins.
"It only as good as the size of the army. It has potential to grow unbelievably strong but if he can't get find or keep and army it's practically useless.", Shawn says as he takes down a few more goblins.
They manage to clear the streets of monsters and set up a two block perimeter which gets designated as a safe space by the system.
"By clearing out monster we can take back land. I guess that's what the system means by defend and reclaim."
The Captain gives the order for small groups to scavenge nearby stores while the rest set up camp. Shawn walks over to the tents that have been set up in the center of the safe zone.
The Captain noticed Shawn and aproched to speak to him. "I've placed groups of 5 at every street entrance and spotters on rooftops. It should be safe for the time being. I've also sent groups out for supplies and recon. Hopefully if there are any survivors around they see that we have a safe space set up. In preparation I've set up rooms in the old buildings and had body's layed to the side."
"Looks like you got a handle on the situation. My group will help out were we can but we will probably move further out and try to level up more. I know Patt is really jealous of the cool ability you got. If we see any survivors we will send them to you. I don't know how the server chat works but try putting a message out on it to show people there's a safe space nearby." Shawn said to the commander
They continued to talk and discuss how to move forward when a new message appeared for them in the window"
