"Alright then, big bro. Lets Go!!!!", Chao said while raising his fist. Chao started to float to the door when Lance asked him another question.

"Hey, do you know what this Analyze skill does?"

Chao stopped and looked at Lance. "What are you? Stupid? Doesn't it tell you what it does? When you are fighting with an enemy, use it and you can see his weak points. I don't know what it does in higher levels though", Chao said.

Ah, it only works during fighting. That's why it wouldn't work when I tried to use it at long distance, Lance thought to himself.

"Alright. If that is all, I think we should get going." Chao said while wagging a finger at Lance. "Even though you are stronger than most humans, you are technically behind them in levels by a day or two, because of your long nap."

"Alright, alright. Let's go then. I need to find a weapon." Lance said while looking around.

He couldn't see anything useful because well they were in a bathroom. Lance walked out of the bathroom while Chao floated closely behind.

When Lance left the bathroom, he immediately recognized where he was. He was in one of the school buildings. It was the business building called Grove Hall.

Weird, I wonder how I got here from that weird place, Lance thought. Lance had absolutely no recollection of what happened when he was asleep.

Lance started to look around when Chao yelled and pointed, "Hey, look! There is something you can fight against."

Hungry Wolf lvl 5

Lance looked at it and then looked back at Chao. "How am supposed to fight it without a weapon? Things could get dangerous if it bites me."

"Just go in and fight it. Stop being a wuss. A weapon isn't just going to fall into your lap. Ya got to go earn it." Chao exclaimed.

Lance then sighed in defeat. Unfortunately, Chao was right. He can't expect to find a weapon at a college building. The only way he could find one is by fighting, and hope that one happens to fall from a monster.

"You'll learn that I am usually always right", Chao said as he struck a proud looking pose.

Having this guy in my head is going to take some getting used to. Lance sighed in an annoyed tone and then started to run towards the wolf.

The wolf then turned and looked at Lance and as soon as it saw him, it immediately started to salivate profusely. It was about to charge at what it hoped to be it's meal, when Lance had already arrived at the wolf.

Lance then kicked it's chest like he was punting a football and Lance then heard cracks and a yelp from the wolf as it was sent flying towards the wall. Lance was shocked at how far the wolf flew from just a kick of his.

The wolf started to rise, but it was quite apparent that it was struggling to breathe. Lance then decided that this was a great time to use his Analyze skill.

Lance used his skill and then immediately saw a difference in the wolf. There was now a yellow circle on it's chest and a smaller yellow circle on it's neck.

The wolf was completely afraid, as it peered into Lance's eyes. Before, it's hunger made him act without fear, but now that he was injured, he noticed how dangerous the individual was in front of him.

The hungry wolf tried to start to walk away slowly as it was in too much pain to run. However, Lance then ran to block it. He was not letting his first prey escape.

I guess if I kick it in the same place, it would increase the damage, Lance thought to himself. Lance then ran up and kicked the wolf and this time he could clearly feel the wolf's chest caving in on itself. After it hit the wall again it didn't breathe anymore.

Blue light then floated from the wolf and went into Lance. He was amazed by the spectacle when all of a sudden Chao floated into his view.

"Hey, come on! Check him! What are you waiting for? There could be goodies to use." Chao said excitingly.

Lance then nodded and looked around the wolf to see if there was anything amazing. What he found appeared to be a couple of bronze coins and some wolf teeth. There was absolutely nothing special.

"Damn it, I didn't expect a weapon, but I was still hoping for something", Lance said annoyed.

"Your luck is just not good enough." Chao said with a shrug.

"What do you mean by my luck isn't good enough? It is one of the highest stats I have", Lance yelled.

"Well, all you can do is kill some more and hope to get somethin", Chao said with a sigh.

Lance then started to look around frantically for anything to kill. This was the complete opposite scenario from a couple of days ago, but all that goes to show you that only the strong can do what they want.

Lance started to run down the hall while Chao flew closely behind. When Lance just reached the corner, he saw a couple more hungry wolves. Found you, Lance thought to himself.

The wolves seemed to notice Lance at the same time he noticed them because they started to run in his direction. Just like the last wolf, they were salivating crazily as it was their hunger that drove them to attack ferociously.

Lance activated Analyze and he saw the yellow marks on their neck appear. He decided to use this skill as much as possible, because it can only become even more useful for him.

Lance waited for the wolves to get close before he decided to attack. The wolves soon arrived a few feet in front of him, in which they jumped to pounce on him.

Lance quickly sidestepped to the right and punched the closest wolf in the jaw sending it at the other wolf. A couple of teeth broke off the wolf's jaw when it was hit and yelped in pain as they were sent flying.

The wolves fell to the ground, but they quickly picked themselves up. They seemed to be enraged at this point, because they split up from each other and lunged at Lance from two different directions.

Lance manage to hit one in the chest with a kick. However, the other was able to bite his arm when Lance blocked with it instinctively.

The pain was quite intense, as the teeth of the canine pierced through his skin and the purple blood started to drip out. The blood then entered the wolf's mouth, and the face of the wolf changed.

It immediately let go of Lance and started to tremble uncontrollably. It then proceeded to bang it's head on the wall continuously.

Lance didn't let this chance escape, and he ran and kicked the wolf into the wall. When it bounced off the wall he kicked it again finishing it off.

Lance then heard a growl, and when he looked at the source, he was then met with a bite to the leg. "Ow!!!" Lance yelled in pain. "You stupid mutt", Lance said as he kicked the wolf's chest again, killing it.

The blue light flew from the two wolves and into Lance. Lance expected level up from the monsters, but nothing happened. He looked at his status and saw he was still level one.

Looks like leveling is going to take awhile, Lance thought. God sure made getting stronger not as easy as he thought.

"Nah, that is only for you." Chao snickered and said. "For being an evolved being, naturally you're stronger already. So leveling is going to take more experience."

"Well, that's annoying." Lance said. Not only is he by himself in dealing will all these monsters, but he gets stronger slower as well.

"Just suck it up. Even though you had a little trouble with the wolves, you still handled them quite easily." Chao said. "But anyways, you are really stupid and careless, getting a bit hurt by a couple of wolves with your strength."

"Shut up! I am still not used to fighting." Lance yelled back as he started to rub his wounds. "By the way, why did the wolf start acting like that?", Lance asked.

"Probably because of the chaos energy in your system. It is enough to make any creature go insane if ingested, and your blood is practically made out of that stuff." Chao explained.

Lance nodded as he understood. He then looked at the two beasts that caused him so much trouble. Lance kicked one of the bodies aside and he noticed something shining on the ground.

Hmm, what is this?

Lance bent down and picked up the shiny object he saw. It appeared to be a ring of some sort, but he couldn't tell what it does.

"Oh, that's an interesting find." Chao said floating and looking over Lance's shoulder.

"You can tell me what this is?" Lance said questionably at Chao.

"What? Oh, I forgot you don't have the identification skill, because you weren't in this world when the 24 hours ran out. God gave it as a gift to the survivors." Chao said.

Chao then went up to Lance and touched his forehead with a glowing purple light.

*ding*

Identify

Basic skill to identify monsters and items.

"You can give skills!?!?!?" Lance looked at Chao shockingly. This little kid just got a 1000 times more useful.

"No, I can't. You were supposed to have this skill in the first place, so i was able to give it to you." Chao explained. "It is imperative to have, since it shows a monster's health and status effects. How else are you supposed to use your skills strategically?"

"Oh, that makes sense." Lance said while nodding. Lance then looked at the ring again and used Identify.

Ring of Famine (normal)

Those who are hungry will gain a sudden burst of energy to survive, to feast.

Effect:

Once Hunger reaches 20, agility +5.

"Well, this ring isn't that useful. I thought you said it was useful." Lance said to Chao. A ring that only works when he is hungry means that he would need to be in an uncomfortable state just to gain beneficial effects.

"No, I never said useful. I said interesting." Chao said while laughing.

Lance shook his head annoyed. Lance put on the ring and moved to the other wolf that he killed. Hopefully, the drop from this wolf would be better than the other one.

Lance moved the body and there he saw something nice. A little vial of red liquid and set of black leather boots. Lance knew he hit the jack pot this time.

Lance first looked a the vial of red liquid. If this was what he thought it was, then this game-like world has just become a lot better.

Lesser Health Potion

Heals 50 hp

"Yep, a health potion", Lance said out loud. He was quite happy with this find. A health potion was the difference between life and death, which was quite possible in this world.

"Big deal, a health potion. I already told you that I can heal you." Chao said in an arrogant manner. Chao then pointed at Lance with a purple glowing finger, and the bite marks on Lance slowly disappeared.

"Wait, you have skills!?!?" Lance was truly annoyed this time. Here he was fighting for his life while Chao just sat back and relaxed.

"Yes, but I'm not using them for these weaklings. Also, how else are you going to learn to fight? You can't rely on me to fight your battles."

Lance was stunned. He now truly didn't know if this little kid was younger than him or older than him. Chao was truly an enigma to him.

Lance then decided to look at the boots before getting more information from Chao about his skills.

Boots of the Swift Wolf (Normal)

Boots that retained the speed of a wolf.

Effect:

+5 agility

+2 Defense

"Oh, now this is nice."
