Chapter 45 New
Time seemed to pass by quickly, around three hours later, having already leveled up and kept going, Alan quickly felt the speed of his levels start going down much faster than he had expected.



'The amount of exp doubles every time that I level up, I guess it makes sense for this dungeon to had different types of monsters inside of it or I'd be stuck here for years to reach level fifty.' Alan thought to himself as he looked around the alley quickly to see if anything was closeby to him before releasing a soft sigh and looking down at the spear in his hand.



He had already put the makeshift knife spear that he had crafted back inside his inventory and instead he had bought the spear that he had unlocked with the level two system shop.



Looking down at the basic steel combat spear, he felt a soft smile show on his lips.



The spear was long, longer than the one he had crafted himself, reaching a complete length of two meteres long. Thankfully, it wasn't made entirely just from steel, only the tip of it was, meanwhile the rest of the body was made from what appeared some kind of extremely elastic wood and even that part was covered in a layer of some kind of material that made it more grippy and less likely to slip from his hand.



The tip of the spear was a long arrow head that had a sharpened tip aswell as was sharpened on both sides so that it could slice and pierce at the same time whichever he choose to do in any kind of situation.



'It's most definitely higher durability… but that's not even the best part, its the damage.' Alan thought to himself as he used his observation skill on the spear as the holographic panel appeared before him in an instant, floating in the air right before him.



[ Observation Skill has been used! ]



[ Basic Combat Spear ] [ Level 2 ]



[ Attack Damage: 10 ]



[ Description: A basic combat ready spear, crafted out of hardened steel, Fraxinus wood aswell as leather. It was created by the system for the user by utilising mana to generate the materials and then granted to the User upon purchase. ]



'Fraxinus wood… I didn't even know that kind of wood existed, I knew of Oak, maple, birch and that kind of stuff, not some kind of mythical name or whatever that is.' Alan thought to himself as he almost felt like releasing a chuckle, he had been very excited when he had first bought the spear but that excitement had quickly faded once he continued having to fight thoe damned slimes that had attacked him numerous times by this point.



One had even managed to finally strike him in the back, the pain had been quite excruciating.



The slime tendril hadn't been able to devour through his armror easily atleast not the leather plates however a splash of it had managed to land on the base of his neck and on his hands, it had instantly given him burns in those spots, as if he had been scalded by a hot iron rod in an instant.



'Status Menu.' Alan thought as he brought up his stats, looking at the progress that he had made in the last few hours whilst fighting the Slimes.



[ Status ]

[ Agility: 0/350 ]

[ Luck: 0/500 ]

[ Normal Stat Points Left: 60]

[ Skills: Observation, Mana Perception. ]



Looking over at his status screen, Alan's eyes widened slightly as he finally showed his first true wide smile, excitement and dopamine instantly starting to rush all over his body at the sight that was before him.



'Finally! Fucking Finally, that damned strength stat, its finally going to reach four special, with that, I should be doing much better but then again this piece of shit dungeon doesn't even have a damned use for attack damage, you cant defeat the slimes no matter how much damage you do, the only way to actually defeat them is to launch a direct attack onto the glass core thats inside their bodies.' Alan thought, as the excitement dwindled slightly however he quickly shook his head to get the almost depressing thought out of his mind.



'Doesn't matter, currently my strength is limiting my agility by quite a bit, the higher it is, the better. I need atleast a base of five to fully use my agility so that's good.' Alan thought to himself as he turned and started walking back towards the main road, he had already gone a long ways inside the alley and it would take him a few hours until he returned.



'There, should be a few slimes that have respawned by now aswell and I also wanted to check out if they had a specific weakness that i think they might have. Their slime thing is extremely similar to a snails, and snails quickly die if you through salt at the because it absorbs the water properties that they have, would something like that work on these things? I dont just have to be strong and fast afterall… maybe I can defeat them using other stuff aswell.' Alan thought as he quickly brought out his system shop and headed inside the items subcategory and bought a one kilogram bag of salt for two bronze coins.



'This thing… why is it so expensive, thang god that I learned that I can convert one silver coin into five bronze coins or id be stuck going back to that dummy dungeon and I really dont want to.'

If you're not going to combine the small uploads can you at least fix the spacing please?

I don't understand why each block of text is separated by two empty lines, and each "gamer" segment is double spaced.

The game segments need to be compressed together to take up the last amount of space possible. Preferably even inside a collapsable drop-down, because the reality is literally nobody cares about the raw-stats. They're completely meaningless, and only used as a crutch to quantify some semblance of the MC's power.

There is no reason for each tiny segment of text to contain two spaces between each block. Feels like I have to go searching for the actual story not only because there's so little of it, but also because its so spread out for no reason. It really makes it a chore to read.
 
Chapter 46 New
Looking back at the unused stat points, Alan didn't hesitate even for a second longer as he instantly dumped all sixty of the new points he had gained into the strength stat.

[ Strength: 90/150 ] -> [ Strength: 150/150 ] [ Max ]

Instantly as soon as the normal stats were maxed, Alan instantly felt it, a subtle yet clear change in his body, a sudden rush of adrenaline and dopamine going through his body at the same time or atleast thats what it felt like, as his palms started sweating slightly whilst his pupils dilated for a brief second before all the changes finished and his body returned to its natural state once more.

'Allright… all that's left to do now is level up once so that I can breakthrough and after that… I just need one more upgrade to strength to get back to my baseline.' Alan thought to himself as he released a soft sigh of relief and continued on his way.

As he walked back towards the main road, he encountered six more green slimes, giving him a total of 300 experience points, not a lot in comparison to what he needed however it was still a sizeable amount.

Finally after what he felt like hours, he arrived back at the edge of the dark alley, the alley walls and ground had once more returned to the polished concrete and metalic slabs for the buildings instead of the moss, gravel and run down area he had been in whilst deep inside the alley.

'That part was honestly barely standing… still… I don't suppose that it would fall down… or maybe it could, I'm unsure what the dungeon will do at this point in time.' Alan thought as he looked around quickly once he arrived at the edge of the main street, finding no one around him, he opened his system dungeon menu.

Instantly the blue holographic panel appeared before him, floating there in the air.

[ System Dugeons ]

[ Dummy Dungeon ] [ Level 1 ] [ Join ]

[ Slime Dungeon ] [ Level 5 ] [ Leave ]

[ ??? Dungeon ] [ Level 50 ]

[ ??? Dungeon ] [ Level 100 ]



..

Lifting his hand, he quickly pressed on the leave button and then instantly proceed to click the confirmation.

Once more, his vision quickly dwindled into darkness as his senses were removed one after the other, starting with sight and finishing with touch.

For a brief moment, he was once more in that floating darkness, his thoughts were nonexistent at this point, he had gone through too much to give much attention or to care about the process, something like this wasn't even scary to him, not after what he had seen and experienced.

A mere second later, he once more found himself laid back on his bed inside his apartment.

The morning light hitting his profile from the small window to the side.

Slowly getting up whilst using his hands as support, Alan turned towards the left wall where a small run down wall clock was.

'Eight… seems like classes already started huh. Guess, I'll be late for the first one. Better hurry up, don't really want to deal with school bullshit aswell.' Alan thought to himself as he got up and quickly changed into another pair of clothes, even though he didn't have many, he didn't particularly fancy going to school for three days in a row with the very same outfit.

Putting on an old white turtleneck sweater, a black jacket that had a few cuts into it and a pair of black faded jeans aswell as a pair of black boots, he quickly finished dressing up whilst he simply threw his used clothes back onto the bed before turning and heading out of the small apartment.

Walking down the stairs and then heading into the street down below, Alan's eyes were narrowed, he was deeply in thought about everything that had happened to him in the last twenty four hours and then in the entirety of the three days.

'I got overconfident, i leveled up and I was growing stronger and I thought that I could do anything, I had a system afterall, I thought that everything would be going well. Well my ass, I got drugged like a dumbass, because I looked for the drugs myself as if I could do something against supernatural creatures, im part elf? Who the hell cares, all my physical abilities are just like a humans, heck I'm weaker than a regular human.' Alan thought as felt like punching himself.

Lifting his head slightly higher, he walked slightly faster as he gazed at the sky above him, the regular real sky with clouds covering most of it, so unlike the cloudless sky that he found in the dungeons.

'And then there's the second dungeon… just how did that crimson slime find a human body part? Is it possible that just like the artificial slimes and dummies and other monsters that ill find in the future that the system has the capabilities of making human npcs of sorts?' Alan thought to himself before shaking his head.

It was something that he had been repeating inside his own mind for a while now, however the more he thought about it, the more he realised just how useless those thoughts were. He couldn't know, not now atleast, with his current strength he couldn't even investigate let alone do anything about it.

'It's… let's just head to school and then head back home and continue on the leveling spree. I need to atleast get to level ten, upgrade my strength stat to four and then put some normal stat points into it before I try to head back and defeat the crimson slime.' Alan thought as he kept walking.

Around twenty minutes later, he finally saw the Forks Highschool in the distance. It looked normal, and it was. Yet Alan knew, the normality was fake, and he was sure of it. Atleast with all the events happening all around it.

'Why Forks?' Alan thought to himself.

Fixed it, I just noticed that, my bad, I don't do the triple spacings anywhere, but when i pasted the chapter here, it got that, so oof, but yeah ill have to manually edit all the chapters that I post on here it seems. Thanks for telling me. <3
 
Chapter 47 New
Walking towards the school whilst he looked around, his mind was still on an almost constant state of alert, no matter how much he tried calming himself down by taking long deep breaths and releasing them slowly as he walked, it wasnt having any effect that was worth mentioning.

'Can't seem to get my heart rate to go to normal either, its not beating super fast exactly but its most definitely faster than it should be normally.' Alan thought to himself as he placed two fingers on the pulse on his wrist before releasing a sigh and closing his eyes for a brief moment and then snapping them open almost instantly as he looked around before continued to walk inside the schools parking lot.

It was at that moment that he saw three people that he wasn't exactly hoping he would meet however he had acted as their friend, he had gone with them, he had laughed with them, he couldn't exactly pretend to not know them now, not when he had just gone to their place yesterday to get drugged up together.

Standing there near the front entrance of the Forks Highschool were the three people that Alan had made as friends.

Jennie, John and Adrian.

Something however clearly was wrong with them, something that Alan noticed almost instnatntly.

'Mana Perception.' Alan thought inside his mind as he activated the skill, as soon as he did, his eyes widened almost imperceptibly as he saw it, their entire bodies were covered in mana, from head to toe, and it wasn't the blue cozy mana that felt like water that he had seen in the baseball bat. No, this mana was a sickly yellow colour that semeed to almost constantly be in erratic motion around them.

In a certain way, it looked closer to vomit than it did to clear water.

'Thats… disgusting. Is that what the drug did to them?' Alan thought to himself as he looked closer at the three of them as he got closer.

Each of them had dark circles under their eyes, the blood in their sclera was bloodshot and their pupils were slightly diluted, they were standing in a way that clearly showed they were completely and utterly exhausted.

"Hey guys, y'all look like you got ran over by a truck. What happened after I left?" Alan asked, simply as he arrived to stand before them, giving them a short wave of his hand in greeting.

The moment he spoke, the three of the students seemed to get out of some kind of stupor as their eyes refocused and then turned to look at Alan.

As soon as they did, Alan felt a shiver run through his entire body. The movement, the moment of refocus, it would have been normal if it wasn't for the fact that all three of them had done it at the exact same time.

"Alan, hey!"

"Alan, hey!"

"Alan, hey!"

All three of them said at the exact same time, all three of them lifting their left arm up and waving back for a moment before lowering it, all three mouths then curling up into a smile that didn't exactly look like a real smile, it looked too forced, too stiff as if it was the smile someone had drawn onto a clay doll.

*Gulp*

'What… the fuck.' Alan thought inside his mind as he instinctively took a brief step back and brought his arms slightly forward in a more defensive position yet trying to not show it to the three of them.

'Observe'. Alan thought to himself as instantly three holographic panels appeared right before him, floating mid air.

[ Observe Skill has been Used. ]

[ John Miller ]

[ Race: Human ] [ Level 12 ]

[ Status: Complete Possession ] [ Intelligence Stat: -4 ]

[ Jeannie Adams ]

[ Race: Human ] [ Level 9 ]

[ Status: Complete Possession ] [ Intelligence Stat: -4 ]

[ Adrian Stone ]

[ Race: Human ] [ Level 11 ]

[ Status: Complete Possession ] [ Intelligence Stat: -4 ]

'Complete… possession? Its… not just possessed like last time… its complete possession… it could just mean that possession is at one hundred percent… but wouldn't the system just show me that instead then?' Alan thought as he gulped softly, taking another step back unconsciously as his hands turned into fists.

"So… Alan, you… want… to… come… with us… Palm Angels?"

"So… Alan, you… want… to… come… with us… Palm Angels?"

"So… Alan, you… want… to… come… with us… Palm Angels?"

All three of them asked at the same time once more, their fake smilies widening more as they gazed at Alan.

'Hell no, hell in the no no no. I don't fucking wanna.' Alan thought to himself inwardly as he opened his mouth to say something in return, to reject them somehow in someway however he didn't even have to speak as in the very next second, someone else spoke for him.

"I dont think Alan wants to. And besides, me and him have some plans, just the two of us. Maybe another time he can come with you."

The voice said from behind Alan, freezing him still for a moment in shock and even slight relief, even though he didn't even know the person who had spoken, he was thankful that he wasn't alone with these three 'things' infront of him.

Turning his head to look behind him and see who it had been that had helped him, Alans eyes widened as he saw who it had been.

It was someone that he knew, someone that he had exchanged numbers with recently, just yesterday actually.

It was Alice Cullen.

'What… she… is this better or worse… nevermind, it's much fucking better, I don't even know what she is, I don't even care, I havn't seen her possess someone's body before and neither have I seen her devour and digest a human leg. She is the far far far better option than the others, than everyone else. And shes a pretty girl. Save me Alicee!' Alan thought inside his mind as he quickly took a few steps towards her before slowing down.

'Fuck… can't actually be too excited, this is still like the ol saying, between a rock and a hard place.'
