'Rise and shine Quincy!' The god says in my head.
"Dude it's like 4 in the morning." I groan.
'You're meeting them at 8'
"Then why are you waking me up at 4?" I say.
'Because you need to be ready.'
"I can get ready at 7." I say.
'No because it is 7.'
"No it isn't, do you see how dark it is?" I ask looking through my blinds.
'Well that's what dark clouds can do.' The god says. I roll over and look at my phone the time is 7:03. 'Told you.' The god says with a laugh.
"I hate you."
'That's not very nice.'
"Don't care." I say putting on a shirt and starting my squats.
'Don't even think about being late you'll make me look bad.' The god says.
"All about you huh?" I answer.
'Yes it is all about me.'
"Alright then." I say finishing the squats.
'You got 30 minutes.' The god says with a sense of urgency.
"I know I can read the time." I say pulling myself up. "I'll leave when it reaches the 10 minute mark."
'Fine.' The god says when I drop from the bar and complete pull ups. So I drop and start doing push ups. I finish and look at the time.
'15 minutes, I should be able to get dressed and out by then.' I think to myself grabbing a pair of shorts and a shirt. Opening the door I put my shoes on and start running to the park.
"I can barely see it's never been this dark from clouds before." I say.
'It's an illusion it's not cloudy the rifts are open and magicians are using an illusion magic making it look dark.'
"And their doing that so people can't see the rifts and see those things falling outa them and they stay hidden."
'Correct and it'll be this dark for the entire day.'
"Then I'm getting a headlamp." I say turning around.
'You better sprint to the park.' The god says when I turn the headlamp on.
"I am." I say running out of the door as fast as I can. "I only have 5 minutes. Whoa" I say rounding the corner entering the park. There's 4 people and 4 gods standing behind them emitting the only light in the park.
"Finally decided to show up huh?" A girl says laughing.
"He's on time. Barely." Another guy says looking at his wrist. "Tyler." He says holding out his hand.
"Quincy." I say shaking it.
"You're different, what affiliation are you?"
"What?" I ask confused why he said I was different.
"Your energy it isn't like the rest of us you have a dark energy."
"Oh! Yeah I'm a necromancer." I answer. "I heard you were a special class?" I ask.
"Yeah berserk I have extra strength and damage compared to everyone else." He says. "So as a necromancer what can you do?"
"This." I say calling out Lance. He sits next to me with his tongue out panting like a dog.
"AHHHH!" The girls screams stumbling backwards.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" Tyler yells.
"What." I say confused.
"IT'S HUGE!"
"Oh yeah it's a level 6." The 4th person is just starting blankly at Lance it's creeping me out. "Lost all of my level ones and a couple level twos." I say. "Me and Pierce killed it though." I say.
"Who's Pierce?" The girl asks.
"Pierce come!" His soul comes out of my chest and he sits to my right.
"That's creepy man." Tyler says walking around Pierce. "So how'd you get them I assume you killed them then just took their soul?"
"Yup." I answer. "What is everyone else's names?" I ask.
"I'm Rose." The girl says.
"Tom." The creepy person says. I shake Rose's hand and hold mine out to Tom but he doesn't shake it back.
"Okay so I heard we're supposed to decide if we're fighting alone or not?" Tyler says.
"Yeah I think so."
"I'm going alone." Tom says.
"It's a group decision." Rose says.
"Then you three will be the group I'm alone." He says.
"Alright then you can leave." Tyler says. Tom turns around and starts walking.
"I hate this kid." A god says going into Tom.
"Well then what do you guys think?" Tyler asks.
"I don't care either way." I say. "The only thing I require is I get to resurrect any and all kills."
"Fair enough." Tyler says.
"Yeah I think that's fair." Rose agrees.
"Then I'm for fighting as a group." I say.
"Agreed." Tyler and Rose both say.
"Hey can one of the gods come over here?" I ask. A really tall god comes over.
"Yes?" He asks.
"Is there a specific time everything starts or is it just random."
"It's all random." The god says. "That all?"
"Yeah." I say.
"Always be ready!" He says walking back to the other gods.
"Okay so we meet here tomorrow at 7?" Tyler says.
"Yeah that'll work." Rose says.
"Yeah I'll be getting as many servants as possible during that time." I say sending Pierce and Lance to find spreaders. Lance comes back almost instantly holding a spreader Pierces size in his jaws.
"I shoulda been a necromancer." Rose says as I raise the spreader. Pierce comes back a minute later with a spreader in his jaws.
"We should look for scouts." I say.
"I've been dying to find out what they look like." Tyler answers.
"I will say this, scouts are 10 times more skiddish and elusive than spreaders." My god says before going back into my head.
"Lance, Pierce work together to find a scout." I say, they sniff around for a while when Lance gets something. He does that weird bark screech before sprinting to an abandoned house. I follow after him getting my dagger looking into windows. Lance busts through the doors running up stairs. "Lance slow down!" I say, he stops moving for a second looking a door that leads to the second floor. I press my head against the door and hear the sound of a monster from the movies.
"What do you hear?" Rose asks holding a silver sword at ready.
"Yeah man, what's up there?" Tyler says pulling to daggers out of his pockets.
"I don't know it's big though." I answer. "I'm kicking it in, you guys ready?" They nod and I plant my foot into the door. It swings open with a crash and a ugly black ant looking creature whips around. It snarls lurching towards us with a killing intent in its eyes. "GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!" I yell crashing down the stairs dodging it's attack.
"WHAT IS THAT THING?!" Rose screams running through the door. It whips around and rushes at me again but I'm not fast enough to dodge it and his claws plunge into my stomach. I look down and see blood pouring out of my stomach where he stabbed me.
'I'm dead.'
