Werewolf.
Gary had seen the concept of the mythological creature being used in books and movies, but he had never really been the type to pay too close attention to these things. Thinking back to the few films he had watched with such being, a certain thought came to his mind.
'Am I now an Altered?'
It sounded a bit strange, because from what Gary knew becoming an Altered should be a long and difficult process. However, perhaps the thing inside the suitcase might have been a new product from some company that had discovered a way to speed up the process.
Looking around him, the suitcase itself was long gone, probably left behind at the construction site.
'Maybe it's just called a 'Werewolf', because it has made me into an Altered based on a wolf-type beast? Who knows maybe all Altered have such a 'system' and have just kept it a secret or maybe it's something new that was in the suitcase? Either way, if I am an Altered, then my body should have changed!'
Gary knew for a fact that his vision had suddenly improved, so why not other things?
When a human became an Altered one of the big changes he would undergo would be getting superhuman strength. To test his theory, he walked up to one of the trees, looked at it for a few seconds and then started to shake his whole arm.
Gary was confident, all the signs were telling him he had become an Altered. With no doubt in his mind, he threw out his fist and hit the tree with great force.
For a few seconds, there was nothing and then an almighty scream travelled throughout the forest.
“Ahhhh!” The tree was completely fine, but the same could not be said about Gary's knuckles. Looking at them he could see they were grazed and slightly bleeding. The skin was starting to peel off. It was apparent he hadn't held back at all when throwing the punch.
[You have been injured]
[- 2HP]
[98/100 HP]
'Minus 2 HP for that? I'm not sure if I should complain about this being a lot or be happy about it not doing more damage to me… Also what happens when I hit 0 HP? Will I just instantly die? Well, I suppose hitting it 49 more times at full strength would eventually break my fists and lead to severe blood loss…Maybe'
It was clear that the system itself was quite complicated
It was the first time this had ever happened to Gary, yet he had seen what had happened to others in the gang who had failed the Underdogs. Going back there would just be suicide.
'It's a good thing I gave them a fake address. They don't know where my real home is, but what do I do if they find out? What will happen to Amy and Mum?”
