Chapter 51: Chapter 51

Jack ran through the forest, utilizing every ounce of his power to run as fast as he could.

His speed had already surpassed human limits a long time ago and now with 9 agility in his special stats, he had reached the limit of the cold one's possible speed.

He was a blur, almost leaving afterimages in his wake as he maneuvered around the tree-dense forest.

With his speed, it didn't take him long to arrive behind the Forks High School.

Once there, Jack finally stopped and turned around looking at the dense forest behind him cautiously.

'Who were those guys' Jack thought to himself as he remained vigilant, his body still tensed up ready to react to even the slightest sign of danger.

Minutes passed like that before Jack finally released a sigh of relief.

Turning around, Jack walked toward the school, however, his mind was completely occupied by the scene he had seen.

'As soon as I finish dealing with something, some other bullshit shows up' Jack thought as he furrowed his brows, his head held low as he walked to the front entrance.

'That was definitely some kind of ritual or sacrifice, the question is for what? What's the purpose of killing all those people and how did they manage to do that without anyone noticing the disappearance of the people?' Jack questioned however he found no answer.

The only thing left was to observe, to see if those disappearances would be noticed soon.

'Forks is a small town, everyone knows everyone so, so many people dying or disappearing will be noticed immediately unless they took the corpses from another city and brought them here.'

As Jack walked through the school halls, he came to a decision.

'I'll look through recent news around the whole country and not just Forks, if there's no mention of the dead people anywhere then I can assume that some kind of magic or ability was used. Hopefully, that's not the case' Jack thought as he steeled his mind.

The sight he had seen still roamed around his mind however the shock and emotional upheaval had finally calmed down and Jack returned to his rational self.

With his mind occupied by the morning incident, Jack didn't notice the passage of time at all and soon all the classes were over and it was time to head back home.

He hadn't been there for the first two classes at all which made the school day seem even shorter than usual.

This time, Jack decided to walk through the city streets as he headed back home, straying as far away from the forest as he could.

'Should I notify the Cullens?' Jack thought before shaking his head.

'No, I'm done with them for now, unless the danger is so high that I can see my death as the only possibility then I'm not going to rely on them. What can I even say in the first place? Hey, so I beat you all up and nearly killed Edward but I need some help so why don't you help me out?' Jack thought to himself sarcastically.

The event had turned Jack's mood sour however it had also steeled his will even further, he needed to evolve, if not for his daily life then for his own survival.

Jack had felt it clearly, especially when he had looked at the pupil-less woman. He stood no chance.

It was a similar feeling to when he had faced the Cullens as a human.

It wasn't just a difference in strength at this point, it was an existential difference. He was simply lower on the food chain and he clearly felt it.

A while later, Jack arrived home, locked the door, and quickly headed back into the dungeon.

Once inside the gravelly dunes dimension, Jack looked around and quickly found the hordes of zombies.

Lowering his body just like a panther who was ready to strike, Jack's vision focused further and then he disappeared, leaving behind a loud booming sound as the gravelly floor beneath where he had been flew up into the air from the force he had exerted.

Pushing his body to the limits, Jack passed through countless zombies.

When the Zombie's bodies exploded from the punches and slashes of Jack's hands, he had already disappeared, already onto his next victim.

'Stronger, Faster.' Jack thought as he tried to push his Animalistic skill to the limit, using every ounce of knowledge and skill that it had given him and trying to improve it even further, trying to bring it to the next level.

However, while his life was a game, not some kind of dramatic movie, he wouldn't gain a power-up simply because he tried harder, it would make it that the road there was shorter but not instant at all.

His ability was based on statistics and experience, not on his will.

The hours passed by as they had the days before and when the sun started shining upon the world once more, Jack stopped.

[ Name: Jack Sparrow ]

[ Race: Cold One ]

[ Age: 17 ]

[ Level: 48 ]

[ Status points: 15 ]

[ Shop Coins: 61 ]

Looking at the status panel, Jack started thinking deeply about his next move.

'Do I go all the way with charisma since I've already started it or do I continue trying to upgrade the rest of my stats?' Jack asked himself however the decision came rather quickly.

[ Charisma: 52/100 ]

'The difference between them and me won't close even if all of my stats were at 10, a cold one simply isn't strong enough to battle those guys' Jack thought as he massaged his temples in frustration.

'Fuck'

Turning to look at the clock on his wall, Jack saw that it was almost time to get ready for school if he wanted to arrive on time.

'Fuck that,' Jack thought agitated as he grabbed the school bag that was next to him and threw it at his wall.

*Bang*

With a loud bang, the wall almost caved in as the bag got ripped apart from his strength.

*Sigh*

Taking deep breaths, Jack quickly calmed his mind down and lowered his emotions.

'Intelligence certainly allows me to manipulate my emotions but it's more of a buff on what I want to do, it doesn't restrict them and neither does it make me become calm at all times' Jack thought in annoyance however he was still grateful for the stat.

If there was one thing that he had done right then it had been maxing the stat out at the beginning, it had helped him much more than any other stat besides maybe charisma would have.

'If my charisma had been maxed instead then would I still be a human?' Jack thought as he imagined what it would have been like.

And that increased intelligence stat certainly made it easy to imagine what it would have been like.

'Tch' 

Jack quickly shut the thoughts down before opening the dungeon menu once more and starting his dungeon raids again.

The final two levels took a while, in fact, they took so long that when Jack was done, school was already over and the sun had started to set down on the horizon.

Nothing had happened the whole day, Jack had made sure that after each time he entered the dungeon, he would first check his surroundings and make sure that no one was nearby or spying on him before going for another round.

But finally, Jack was there. He had done it.

A large toothy grin appeared on Jack's face as he looked at his status screen.

[ Name: Jack Sparrow ]

[ Race: Cold One ]

[ Age: 17 ]

[ Level: 50 ]

[ S.P.E.C.I.A.L ]

[ Strength: 8 ] [ 0/100 ]

[ Perception: 8 ] [0/100 ]

[ Endurance: 8 ] [ 0/100 ]

[ Charisma: 4 ] [ 52/100 ]

[ Intelligence: 10 ] [ 100/100 ]

[ Agility: 9 ] [ 0/200 ]

[ Luck: 9 ] [ 0/100 ]

[ Shop Coins: 72 ]

The day had turned even better when he received a notification from the system whilst he had been in the midst of his frenzied grind.

[ Instinctive Combat ] [ Level 2 ]

The level-up had allowed him to use his combat capabilities at an even greater efficiency than ever before, however, it hadn't been as big of an upgrade as when he had first been granted the skill.

Deciding that he didn't want to wait anymore, Jack got up on his feet and looked around and outside the door, using all of his senses to see if he could locate anyone around him before returning to lie down on the bed.

'Shop' Jack thought in his mind and the holographic panel quickly appeared before him.

'Evolution' With another thought, the evolution tab of the system shop opened up.

Looking at the only line of icons that wasn't grayed out, Jack quickly pressed onto the second icon.

[ Vampire Evolution ]

[ Requirements: Level 50, Cold One Race ]

[ Cost: 50 Shop Coins ] [ BUY ]

It was finally time...
