Chapter Twenty

“What the hell is that?” Barry asked, clearly waving his hand in the air and trying to get a screen out of his vision.

I looked at Kelly and the others, seeing them all dismissing their prompt with ease, but Barry was blinking, and confused.

“What the hell was that?!” Ken asked, sounding well and truly freaked out.

“You’ve never had a screen show up before?” I asked. They both shook their heads. “Oh shit, we’re more fucked than I thought.” I muttered, putting my face in my hands and groaning.

“How’s this possible?” Kelly asked slowly. “We got them days ago?”

“It’s the area,” I mumbled, scrubbing at my face and trying to ignore the migraine I could feel building, fighting its way up through the layers of desperation and tiredness. “It’s a low-mana area, so it probably hadn’t been high enough when they last fought to trigger the XP awards.”

“The what—” Barry started to say and I held up one hand, finger extended and shook it.

“Just stop, Barry!” I snapped. “Fuck’s sake, I thought you would have at least known the basics by now, but shit, man... argh!” I sat back and put both fists on the table.

“Fine, this is the way we do this, I don’t know what you know, what you don’t, or what you were planning. I’m so tired I could sleep for a week, so I’m going to give you the SHORT, short version, then we’re going to go and sleep. When we wake up, we’ll meet again, you’ll tell me what you need from me, and what you’re giving us for risking our goddamn lives, then we move on, and you’ll help me to sort this goddamn planet out.”

“Okay, well—”

“Barry.”

“Yeah, Matt?”

“Shut the fuck up.”

“Sorry, Matt.”

“Right. The world ended, all right? Some people call it the end, the fall, whatever, it’s over. The old world, though, and I mean that, no matter what happens now, everything will be different. Now, once your system activates, and no I don’t know what it is, I’m just calling it that because it’s the easiest way to make it make sense!”

I snapped, glaring at Ken, who’d just opened his mouth again. “Once it activates, you start getting XP, short for experience points. Doing different things generates it; killing is the best. Fight, defeat your enemy, and you’ll get XP. Do quests, all that kind of thing. It takes ten XP to reach level one. At zero, you have no access to anything, that’s where you are now. Reach level one, you’ll get a set number of points to distribute. You’ll have access to a screen that shows your stats or statistics, like your baseline strength, intelligence, and all of that. You can add these points into a particular area, and it’ll make a difference there—”

“Hold up,” Ken muttered, scribbling on a notepad frantically. “How long do these points last, what kind of change?”

“You get time to allocate them. Not sure if it’s limited, but once you do it, it makes a hell of a difference.
