!!! Tutorial Completed !!!
(230 million out of the original 340 million players remain in the U.S server.)
"Over a hundred million people died". John said with a sad expression written on his face.
Each of them start to realize the reality of the situation.Thinking of friend and family that they can only hoped survived.
"Look at the new party system". Shawn said trying to change the subject. "It's got an Exp sharing function and location tracking. I'll send an invite"
Each of them except the invite that pops up on there screen. A little blue bar with each of there names, levels, health, and manna pops up in top right of there vision.
"That's pretty cool". Patt said as he pokes his finger at it.
"Patt, take a look at the shop function. It gives weapons and items based on you pantheon. I bet you could get a new weapon if you sell a few of the goblin blades". Rose says as she buys a [Sceptre (E)] for herself. "I sold my blade and bought myself a staff instead since I'm using more magic then actually fighting"
Patt looks through the list of items after he sells the few knife and miscellaneous useless objects the goblins had on them. He scrolls past potions and ritual daggers untill he finds another club similar to his but a grade higher.
"I hope this one lasts longer then the other". He says as he swings it in the air a few times.
The groups gears up with what they can before moving on twords the city center hoping to find more people. As they cross the blood red streets a few straggling goblins pop out of various hiding places lunging at the party. Shawn is able to test his new spells as he try's dispatching the beasts before they get too close. John and Patt take care of anything that get through.
Suddenly A few gunshots are heard further into the city. As they get closer more and more shots are heard. As well as explosions and the sounds of monsters .
"It must be the military or local police". Patt says with hope in his eyes. "Took them long enough".
As the group gets closer to the noise they see military men in green and black outfits pushing back hordes of goblins and ogres with there guns and tanks. The weaponry seems to have an effect but more and more waves of monsters keep approaching. As the front lines start to get overwhelmed a few men start to run only to get picked off by a new small flying monster before it disappears again.
A gruff old man who looked to be the commander started shouting.
"Shit, fall back men. Retreat to the nearby buildings"
The solders ran back to the buildings behind them. Barely manage to close and barricade the doors before more monsters could over run them.
"Shouldn't we help them". Rose asked, looking twords Shawn for an answer.
"We should try, but I don't know if we can". He says pointing out the three ogers and the countless number of goblins surrounding the building.
"I got a plan, but if it goes south we should leave". Shawn says, each of them nodding in agreement.
After talking through it with each of them Patt hops out of the bush and quickly makes his way twords the front of the building , his speed already increased by Rose's buff. At the same time John and Shawn move just out of the first ogres sight. Then Shawn freezes the ground under it cutting its mobility, at the same time John swing his ax with all his might into the chest of the monster, killing it instantly.
The monsters around them notice what had happened and start to lunge twords the two attackers. Patt takes on the next ogre on his own when its destracted by the comostion in front of it. Rose changes the buff to strength which adds almost double his current strength when combined with his Power skill. Patt swings his club with all his might hitting the ogre square in the back of the skull. His clubs desimates the beast causing him to gain another level for killing it solo.
Leveled up
Power (F) -> (E)
The last ogre didn't stand a chance as each of the three hit it from a different angle with powerful attacks.
After finishing off the ogres the goblins weren't hard to deal with. With John's weapon's buff he cut down goblins like they were nothing. Soon, enough each of them leveled up from the countless goblins. John even went up two levels and gained a few new skills.

After dealing with the goblins and sorting out the loot the group went up to the barricaded building door. The building just looked like and old office building. As Shawn was about to knock on the the door it opened and out came the commander. He was around 5'11" and two hundred pounds. His face was covered in fuzz with a military helmet on his head. The uniform he wore was the same as the others except is shoulder was decorated with medals and badges.
"On behalf of the United States Military I thank you for rescuing my solders and extending a hand as gratitude. My name is Capt. James.J.Mason."
