Chapter 33 033: Level Ups
[Spectral Charge]
Cole flashed forwards, sending his leg up into the groin of one of the players and blasted his head off as he doubled over in pain. He activated invisibility and just in time to as a host of skills smashed through the location he occupied.
Two quick steps brought him in front of a human with a loud mouth, and quickly before anybody could react, he reappeared and sent his Vibro blade stabbing into his belly, and then he dragged it up, cutting through his bullet proof vest and ducking under the wild swing of an axe, which proceeded to bite into the human\'s stomach.
Cole ignored the cry of pain and shock as he fired two shots into the chest and face of the axe wielder, the he activated invisibility again, vanishing from sight as what remained of the players seemed to devolve into a bit of chaos. It hadn\'t exactly taken Cole too long to remove three of their members out of the equation, especially since he had already warned them to back off.
[Lesser Mind Control]
One of the players suddenly turned, he seemed to be a draconic races of some sort, and what he did next more than proved that fact as he opened his mouth wide and breathe a stream of fire on his remaining teammates. Quite a few of them were able to dodged out of the way, shocked by his sudden display, but two of them quickly vanished into speck of lights as they went for a respawn.
Ten seconds was a long time for someone to cause a lot of damage as he stopped breathing and started lobbing fireballs at everyone in sight. In less than four minutes there was only four of the players left, and Cole hadn\'t really done much. He climbed the top of the bus and pulled out his sniper rifle, still hidden in his invisibility, no one noticed anything until the first two shots blasted apart the head of the fire breather and final member that seemed to be of some aquatic race.
The people left behind were the one they had been calling UniconPrancer69 and a human trying too hard to look like universal soldier. Of course from what he could see, that guy rather be anywhere but here. Cole Deactivated his invisibility and smiled at the two, of course they were unable to see him through his helmet.
"You guys have a few seconds… you can start running now, or I could just as easily send you back to respawn…. Which would you prefer?" he asked them as he kept his rifle trained on them.
"We-"
*BANG! BANG!*
"Sorry…. There was never really a choice." Cole said to their fading selves as he got down from the top of the bus and went in to see the scientist had been huddled with his family behind one of the seats. Cole shook his head as he said to the man.
"Can you pilot this rust bucket?"
"Yes I can? Where do you need me to go?" he asked, to which Cole turned to him and said.
"I take it that you are chief scientist Brogan Bizet right?"
"I am."
"Good I need to deliver your family to docking bay 88, some very rich people are offering a substantial reward to make sure and your family are delivered safely to that location. Do you know where it is?" Cole asked.
"I do, docking bay 88 is a personal docking site owned by the lab I work for. I know the most direct and shortest route to it, I believe it is also the safest." Cole nodded his head in agreement, then he flicked his hand towards the driver\'s seat, motioning for the scientist to move on and fly them away. He got a stiff nod in return as he took a seat, waiting until he heard the tell-tale sound of the bus humming and coming alive before relaxing, he had a few dozen notifications to look over.

[You have gained 10355 Exp! Your level has increased to 14! +28 to all stats!]
[Class options available!]
Perhaps it would be just about time to get a class, but honestly Cole wasn\'t ready, the thing about classes was that the longer you dragged them out, the more sophisticated they would be. Of course that did not mean they would be as rare or overpowered as one would expect, but you get exactly what is tailored for you. Usually it would be a basic variation of the normal big five.
A basic variation of warrior, mage, cleric, ranger and rogue. And then there were the basic hybrid classes, of course those were advance but you could always get lucky and get them for a basic class. In all honesty Cole wasn\'t sure what sort of class was waiting in his future, while he was sure he had been mostly patterning his playstyle after a warrior, he could also be considered a mage, and then with the new knowledge you would say ranger had been added into it, his entire stealth like playstyle would also be taken into consideration.
So the reason why he was not picking a class right now was because he wasn\'t so sure. So he would rather refine his playstyle a bit before he has to make a choice, that way, his has every available option afforded to him, perhaps he would not be picking a class till the second or third floors depending on how they go, he was plenty string just relying on his race and titles.
Of course he would be missing out on quite a few stat points but, he would endure, at least until he was out of this floor and the next, perhaps when he has found himself in a bind with no way to move forwards he would deign it fit to pick a class. But beyond that it was also because he had no idea how much of his abilities in the game would come out in real life.
Since shit like that has now become reality he has to be twice as careful. His class must be one without equal, and even if it does have an equal, it should be one that could stand up against any and all enemies. That was his current aim. So that he could at the very least keep his family safe, he owed them that much at least.

With all of his choices made, along with what was definitely a significant growth in his stats, Cole relaxed. But he still kept his guard up because so far this bloody event has not given him a break, he would see what comes next, and he would be more than ready and prepared to counter it.
