Getting to know each other Ch7

Michael's hand fazed through the barrier allowing him to enter.

"Alright since you can enter now,follow me I'll show you were you'll be staying"John said.

"Ok"Michael said while following John.

John opened the door.As he lead Michael in he pointed to the kitchen.

"That's the kitchen.It has all the necessary things for cooking even spices.So if your going to cook something make sure you take the grill sheet and wash it."John said.This might be the apocalypse but you always have to be clean.

"Ok,but how are we supposed to light it.It took me hours just to make a fire to cook the meat you gave me"Michael asked.

"It also had two match boxes on top of the grill,so it will be easy."John answered

John gestured to Michael to follow him.They went upstairs.

"That's your room and that's mine"John said pointing to there individual rooms.

"Ok,buts what's in that room over there."Michael asked.

"It's full of dead bodies"John answered.

Michael stood there looking like he saw a ghost.

"Your kidding aren't you?"He asked in a worried tone.

"Bo I'm kidding its empty and I dont know why."He said opening the door to show him nothing was really there.

Michael was still a little nervous after that one statement.

"Head to your room and get settled in come down when your ready I'm prepare some lunch"John said walking back to the stairs.

"Ok John"Michael answered turning around to head to his room.

John headed down stairs and started to prepare some lunch.

With the new spices he new it was going to taste better than before.

.....

After thirty minutes the food was ready.

He placeced the two steaming hot pieces of minatour meat on there separate plates.

He then carried them out of the kitchen and placed them on the table,he already placed the forks next to the plates with a cup of water.

"Michael it's done so get your ass down here"h3 shouted

"I'm coming down now"Michael said walking down the stairs.

"It smells really good down here"Michael said drawing his chair to sit down.

"Aren't you going to wash your hands before you eat ?"John asked with a questioning look on his face.

"I would, but we really can't be wasting water like that"he answered picking up his fork.

John said nothing and proceeded to start eating.

"So,John what did you do before coming to this sh×t hole"Michael asked with a mouth full of food in his mouth.

"I was working at McRonalds to make ends meet and was getting ready for my final exam of high school .What about you?"He answered.

"I was living with my aunt and working as a delivery boy and a chef of a food truck.

My parents kinda abandoned me with my aunt and I had to work if I wanted to stay in her house.

So you could say I had it rough,Do you have family here that you want to look for?"Michael answered.

"No..My parents died...and after that the bank seized the house, and no relative wanted to take me in.

So I used the last of their savings to rent a sh×ty apartment for about a year and had to look for a job.

I guess we have something in common"John said with a chuckle

"I guess you could say that"Michael said also with a chuckle.

"So what now?...we partnered up so we have double the monsters to deal with...so I think the best thing we can do is gain some levels and pray we get low teir monsters."Michael said scratching his hair.

"That is a great idea....we have only a couple of days left so we would have to hurry.....ohh Michael what does your stats say?."John asked

"It really isn't something spectacular but :

That's all it says,why didn't you just look at my stats through the group status window.Thats how I looked at yours,but yours is kinda weird.

It has Vitality and it days that you have three skills but two are just question marks.I think it's because you are a higher level than me"Michael said while looking at something invisible to John which is his status screen

"That's probably the reason for that.It looks like your stats is mainly focused on speed."John said. He had sort of a confused look on his face because he was thinking that Michael would see his two op abilities but that was no the case.

Plus he was wondering what Vitality was,because Michael didn't have it.

"I am a fast runner after all. I was planning on heading for a sports scholarship when I was on earth"Michael said smiling,snapping John back to reality.

"That's good,now we have to get ready for we are going to get some levels before night falls."John said getting up from the table and grabbing Michael's plate and and his.

He then took them outside and rinsed them and brought them back inside.

Michael had already brought the twin blades he had out of his inventory.

"What type of blades are they?"John asked while strapping the quiver to his back.

"It's a teir one twin blades.It has the skill:wind slash which cost 10 mana for each use,It also has a 10% bleeding attribute."Michael said while twirling the blades in his hand

"That's really good,You really are talented with those blade movements?"John said.

"I guess you could say 5 years as a chef has give me this talent,but you do look like you know how to use a bow"Michael said with a chuckle.

"I guess you could also say that 10 years of going to the archery club and sword club really did me a favour"John said while chuckling also.

"You even know how to use a sword that's awesome"Michael said eyes full of astonishment.

They both left the house in search of monsters to kill.

....

Five minutes into the search Michael asked a really sad question.

"John what do you think happened to all the babies,children and old people who were on earth,do you really think whatever or who ever sent us here,sent them too"he asked looking at John to see what he would say.

John paused for a moment before saying something."I really don't know,I guess you could say that they might or might have not been sent to this world.I haven't seen any mothers or fathers ask if anyone has seen there child or children.So we may not know for sure."John answered truthfully.

"Alright"Michael said.

"GggggggggrrrRrrrrr!!!!!!"

Michael and John looked around to see the source of the noise.

...

Somewhere between the space and time sat a figure that sat in a chair with a large bag of Rays potato chips that were filled to the brim with chips.

What he was looking at was a humungous screen that was split into a billions of different tiny screens,that each had a different First Person view on each one.

"Garvis....give me the veiw of participants ????????and?????????"the mysterious figure said while eating his chips.

"Right away sir"The voice of what we can assume to be Garvis answered

The humungous screen then shifted to two different first person views of you guessed it, Michael and John.

"This is getting interesting"the figure said with a chuckle.

"Garvis give me a glass of coco pola soda with a little bit of ice"the figure said

"Right away sir"Garvis anwered

A nice cold glass of coco pola soda appeared out of thin air in the cup holder of the figures chair.

"Thank you Garvis"

"Your welcome sir"Garvis answered
