Looking at the panel, Ben felt a little joy. His Sword Mastery skill increased again, if he could level it up 7 more times he would acquire his cla.s.s. Thinking about this a frown appeared on his face.

'Those men already had their cla.s.ses, they also had skills.'

The last man, Dan, release some sort of berserk skill before dying, making him faster and stronger.

'You must acquire skills when you get your cla.s.s and the skills must be related to the cla.s.s you chose.' Coming to this conclusion Ben was curious on what kind of skills he would get. He didn't even know what his cla.s.s was about so he decided not to worry about it and focus on getting his Sword Mastery up. Killing made ben get his priorities in order. He found himself more anxious to find his family and keep them safe. He also realized how weak he was, this gave him a burning desire to get stronger.

With a new set of determination, Ben and Duke started walking into the forest.

...

Up above the trees a young women, dressed in green, watched a young boy and his wolf walk away. She had been watching him for a couple of days now and wasn't impressed.

'Afraid to kill and he relies on his wolf too much. He doesn't deserve Master's cla.s.s at all.' Letting out a sigh, she continued to watch him. She knew that her master would want more information about him to make an accurate a.s.sessment of the boy.

'He does have potential though... just needs the right push.' she smiled cunningly before disappearing into thin air.

...

Waking up to Duke licking his face, Ben laughed and pushed him away. This had been a common occurrence over the last week or so. Over the last week they continued to hunt and head towards the city of Lloyminster. Ben's Sword Mastery skill had leveled up to 8 and he was excited to keep leveling up. His sword play had vastly improved from before. After acquire the Sword Mastery skill, piles of information flooded his mind. Different strokes, body position, etc. appeared in his mind and using this information he chose a style suiting himself.

Different from before, Ben had a long curved blade strapped across his back that he got from killing a zombie.

A s.h.i.+ver ran through Ben remembering that s.h.i.+t show.

He had came across a deserted small town and needed to some food so they slipped into the grocery store. Before he could grab some instant noodles he heard a unnatural growl from behind him. What he saw was repulsive, a man with chunks of rotten flesh missing. Its skin was white with dried blood surround its mouth and ripped clothes barely hanging on its thin frame. With no warning or provocation, it let out an unearthly howl before running at Ben.

'What the h.e.l.l! I thought zombies were suppose to be slow!' Ben swore to himself, barely avoiding the zombie. Stabbing the zombie in the back Ben thought it was over until the zombie turned around, grabbing the sword from Ben's hand and throwing it down the aisle.

Duke jumped on the zombie, bring him to the ground. The zombie kicked Duke in the chest, sending him flying. he crashed into a shelf knocking it down, a loud whimper came from him.

'There that strong!?'

Duke's STR was already over 20 but he was sent flying like he was a pup.

Fear gripped Ben's heart, these zombies were strong and not to be messed with. Scrambling down to get his sword, the zombie started for him.

Running for his life, because he was, Ben grabbed his sword and turned down a different aisle. The zombie followed him, letting out more unG.o.dful howls that shook Ben's soul. Ben knew he had to finish this quick, Duke was injured and still not getting up while the zombie was gaining on him quickly. Turning down another aisle, Ben stopped and swinging his sword as hard as he could towards the zombie was right behind him.

The sword found itself embedded in the zombies skull. The zombie crashed into Ben, sending him to the floor. The zombie was laying on top of him... not moving. Pus.h.i.+ng the zombie off, Ben checked himself for any cuts or sc.r.a.pes, hoping he didn't get infected. After checking himself out he let out a breath of relief.

Looking at the dead zombie, he thought 'Just like the movies. Only can kill them through the head.'

"Ahhh! What the h.e.l.l!" Ben yelled looking down at the zombie.

Right in front of his eyes the zombie was turning to dust. In a matter of seconds all that was left was a pile of dust. In the pile of dust was a long sword with a curved blade. Grabbing the sword, Ben broke out in a huge grin.

"And the dual wielding legend was born. Kirito will have nothing on me, hahaha."

...

Ben and Duke were stuck in that town for days killing zombies. There were many life and death battles that they almost didn't walk away from. Ben had acquired another sword and decided to use both swords. Was he ambidextrous? No. So why did he do it? Because he thought it looked bad a.s.s.

Though the first couple days he looked like a complete idiot, he slowly, very slowly improved.

Another week had pa.s.sed and Ben's Sword Mastery skill was at level 9. Ben only had a week left before his deadline and the pressure was crus.h.i.+ng him. He killed more and more monsters and beasts during the day and at night he practiced by himself desperately pus.h.i.+ng himself. He could hardly sleep and he was starting to lose his mind.

Duke had continued to level up.

Though Duke being more powerful was a good thing, it made Ben feel ashamed that he was still so weak. Duke had bailed him out of almost every dangerous situation they found them selves in. Duke's was a blur now when he ran and his strength could crush almost every enemy they met. This made Bennett the support character killing off the weaker monsters.

Ben was so deep into his own thoughts that he didn't notice someone approach him. A beautiful young woman dressed in green walked out from behind a tree.

Surprised, Ben grabbed his two swords pointing them at her. She was tall with a body that would men drool and women envious. Her long green hair was pulled into a ponytail. Her dress was a darker green than her hair, it hugged her body and left little to the imagination.

"Who are you?" Although Ben was shocked by her beauty, his instincts screamed danger.

She gave a coy smile, "Are you really pointing your swords at a lady like me?" she asked innocently.

Not lowering his swords, he replied, "Drop the act. To look like that and still be okay means you must be extremely strong. Now what do you want with me."

She gave a sneer before answering, "n.o.body would dare touch me on this planet. But you're right, I do have business with you."

She took a step closer before looking away, "Call your dog before he makes a big mistake."

's.h.i.+t, she knew Duke was waiting to pounce.'

"Duke." he called out.

Duke came out from the bushes growling towards the women before standing next to Ben.

"Now that's settled, I am here to offer you a deal. I'll give you a test and if you survive you will succeed in gaining the Beast Warrior cla.s.s, okay?" she said with a mocking smile.

Panic ran through his body, 'How does she know?'

"Doesn't matter how I know. But know this. This test will put you through h.e.l.l and your chances of dying are very high. BUT, if you do survive you will gain the cla.s.s and my approval." she looked him in the eyes, "choose now. I'll even let you choose another cla.s.s if you want."

Ben stared at her. Looking down at Duke, he knew his decision.

Smiling, he answered, "Bring it on pretty lady."
