Becoming a Monster

He wanted to jump out of the window immediately but he didn't want to be too impulsive, he needed somewhat of a plan. As he could tell, he could get overrun easily if he just ran in swinging which is really what he wanted to do. As he observed from a distance he was soon able to spot his first destination.

"The beauty about attending a good school are opportunities like these."

Off into the distance on his left hand side, he could make out the female dormitory which from the screams echoing from the distance he could assume that they were in the same situation. But more importantly, maybe about half a mile from the dormitory, centered between both the male and female dormitories was the school's cafeteria and as an added bonus the cafeteria was located on the second floor of a schools convenience store. The store really did fit its name to perfection. The store contained a lot of daily necessities for college students. From snacks and small groceries to hygienic supplies. It was the perfect small base to start with since he knew it would be raided eventually when the students started to get a grasp on the situation. From what he saw when it came to the group of students who had a magic user, they were already starting to get accustomed.

Making sure the coast was clear down below, he was about to drop down before he remembered what got him into this mess in the first place.

"Hmm maybe I should at least get a different shirt...Wouldn't won't some other crazies getting the same ideas and want to kill me as well."

With his newfound strength and damped clothes due to the excessive blood spilt on him, he tugged on his shirt to rip it off of him. With how much it clung onto his skin he found it more tedious to try to pull off.

He didn't care what shirt to put on, he just randomly opened a few drawers till he found the shirts before randomly pulling one out and putting it on.

The kid who owned these clothes must've been pretty tall or he was a bigger than normal guy. Noah wore a large but the shirt fitted on him like a XXL. The short sleeves went a little past his elbows and it reached halfway down his thigh. He didn't mind it, he just ripped the sleeves off so it didn't obstruct him fighting. He actually liked the taste of whoever owned this shirt as it was an all black shirt with an ironic saying that says 'but did you die though?' It caused a small chuckle to escape his lips when he anticipates the expressions of people who see it.

Continuing with his previous action, he dropped his hammer to the ground outside the window before he made his way out. He wasn't 100 percent sure that even with his stats he could jump out of a 2nd story window without the possibility of injuring himself so he held onto the ledge and lowered himself as much as he could before dropping.

Mmph!

Instinctively Noah impacted the ground with his feet first before falling onto his butt. He looked towards the ground and then back up towards the window in a daze before he chuckled to himself, fascinated that he didn't experience even a hint of pain.

"Haha I still can't believe this is happening…"

Growls*

Being interrupted from his excitement caused Noah to frown but instantly he had a grin on his face when he saw four zombies approaching him, three from in front of him and one on his right.

He knew that with the amount of zombies he's killed so far that he should be close to leveling up again. He doesn't know if they would give him the same amount of experience since he's on a higher level but he should be close regardless. He decided to start with the loner first before he took care of the other three. Even though he wasn't afraid of fighting zombies, he knew that arrogance could cause his death. He doesn't know how many times situations like those appeared in his stories.

Bang!

With a quicken pace, he ran towards the lone zombie to smash its head, killing it instantly. Just as he finished the zombie off he let out a deep breath filled with satisfaction. He could tell that he leveled up again as he felt his mind becoming a bit clearer and after many times of increasing his constitution, he could easily tell the difference of his vitality growing.

'More!'

He inwardly screamed in excitement as he charged towards the three zombies approaching. For people like him, he was becoming addicted to the feeling of ecstasy increasing his stats. If he could, he was sure he would try to kill every monster in sight but sadly his body wouldn't be able to keep up.

Swing left and right, he made easy work of the last zombies in his near vicinity but thankfully for him, it was far from over. He looked towards the direction of the cafeteria as a small glint appeared in his eyes witnessing the carnage and mayhem happening in front of him.

He was eager to join in on the chaos but first he had to collect his spoils which again appeared to be only gold which he was mentally prepared for and just like last time, the chest appeared near the last zombie he killed.

'There's definitely a pattern here….I'm just going to go ahead and guess that the chest will always drop near the last thing I kill when I'm done fighting. I don't know why a god would go through all the trouble to do this but I won't complain.'

With his loot taken care of, he again looked towards the cafeteria and immediately took off. In his mind he already decided that he was going to grind the entire time on the way and hopefully he could finally get what he's been wanting since all of this started and that was a tamed creature.

———

Along the way to the cafeteria, while Noah was busy fighting zombies and the like on his way. Another battle was transpiring down his path that he was unaware of.

Noooo! Justin! Damn you! Why are you all standing there? If we don't fight together then we are all next!

"Isabelle! Are you ok to heal me?"

About a quarter of a mile from the cafeteria a massacre was taking place, from zombies to humans and even the rodents. Dead bodies lay everywhere, but unlike the dead bodies of the zombies, some if not most of the humans would still twitch from time to time indicating they were still alive but were not able to move.

In the center of all the chaos was a middle size group of people all wielding weapons, from staffs, bows, daggers and swords. The group were all facing in one direction, alert and timid as some looked on with fear and others with hatred towards the creature responsible for most that was transpiring here.

Leaning over the recently paralyzed victim was a bigger than normal sized spider traversing the campus. There weren't many spiders in the vicinity so having different spiders were normal but if Noah were to see this one in particular then he would surely drool.

Unlike the other spiders that reached as high as the knee, this one was as big as an adult's waist, reaching around 3.5 feet high and 4 feet long. It had a body full of fine hairs, it's entire body was made up of dark gray with strips of white along all it's 8 legs wrapping around them. The spider had eight eyes, four were located in the center of its face with two of them being the largest out of the group and then there were two sets of eyes located on the back of its head.

The front legs of the spider were bigger and longer than its counterparts and even the head part was more enlarged than its backside. This made its pincers which were of a different color that were of a blue and light greenish hue more disturbing to look at.

The group were slowly losing to despair due to their failed attempts in subduing the creature. There were more of the group before but when they saw people going down one by one they decided to save their own skins, either by running to the closest building which would be the cafeteria or back to one of the dorms.

The spider was just too quick for them to gang up on without good teamwork. The only reason they were still bitterly holding on was because of the man leading them holding a round shield and a short sword. The man would try to get its attention while the people would try to hit its blind sides which seemed to only be behind it considering that it has eyes on the side of its head.

Honestly if the bodies that the spider took down weren't still alive then the man with the shield was sure that more than half of the people left would've already ran away.

He looked onwards towards the spider with a deep seeded hatred in his eyes. The spider was incapable of showing expressions so he didn't know if it was beginning to wear out. The only signs of them having a possibility of them winning was the fact that it was no longer lunging towards them anymore which no matter how much they anticipated it, it was always able to single someone out of the group and take them down just as fast as it pounced.

Because it was no longer jumping, that gave them more leeway to attack its blind spots. Gashes and cuts could be located around its bottom and close to its face. Even one of its back legs was crushed, but that wasn't enough to instill confidence in the group to try to outright take it down.

But seeing that no one was attempting to attack it, the spider seemed to want to feed to recover some of its strength.

It turned its body to face the group with one of the twitching victims lying in front of it. No one knew what it was trying to do until it was too late.

"Ahh get off of him!" The man leading the team blindly rushed towards the spider after seeing it sink its large fangs into his friend.

He didn't realize that almost no one rushed along with him besides another male student who wielded a one handed ax. With his crazed face that also appeared to be on the brink of tears, it could be seen that he also had some type of relation to the victim named Justin.

"Derrick!" The healer who stood before with the shield bearer screamed out. Even if she wanted to, she knew she should stay behind as she has been instructed since the start of the chaos but fear was the main factor keeping her from joining her colleagues.

The fear didn't overcome her rationale completely as she frantically turned towards the rest of the group for help. She knew that Derrick messed up when he broke the formation they decided on which is partly the reason for the rest to not follow up, but she desperately needed them to help, to help save the man she loves.

"Pl-please help him! If he dies too then what will happen to us? We can't fight that thing without him!"

The frightened expressions that appeared within the group convinced Isabelle that her words had convinced them, she just didn't realize that she convinced them in an entirely different way.
