[Hunter Class]
[A Werewolf Hunter is fast, agile, and sneaky. He focuses on killing his prey quickly, out of sight and from the shadows. He is able to track his targets from a great distance and has great focus.]
[Class perks include: More and better Marks, improved tracking.]
[Protector Class]
[A Werewolf Protector boasts one of the sturdiest bodies of his race. He uses his own body to shield his pack members from any harm, making sure that they will survive.]
[Class perks include: 1 Extra point in Endurance upon each Level Up, faster healing.]
[Warrior Class]
[A Werewolf Warrior could be considered the vanguard of his pack. He leads his pack into battle with his strength. He has exceptional fighting ability and courage, but it is because of this trait, and his role, that this Class boasts the highest fatality rate.]
[Class perks include: Wide range of skills to select from, large Energy pool]
[Shapeshifter Class] (Optimal)
[This Special Class of Werewolf is a master of disguise, capable of transforming into various animals, blessed with an innate understanding of his form. His versatility is unmatched, though limited by his Energy.]
[Class perks include: Various Transformations, big Energy pool]
[Shapeshifter Class has been deemed (Optimal)]
[Based on the Werewolf’s traits and special characteristics, Unique Class will be assigned]
Gary was unable to even read through the choices properly, when a new notification popped up that the Class was already being automatically assigned. In the same moment, Kai began screaming in pain, falling out of his seat onto the ground.
The veins around his neck area began to visibly bulge, before the teenager felt the muscles in his body contract and relax over and over again. They were tensing up incredibly hard, worse than any cramp he had ever suffered, and not just in one particular area but all over his body, yet the worst thing was that this excruciating process was accelerating.
‘Holy shit, Olivia wasn’t kidding when she told me it hurt like hell. Should I’ve given him more of a warning? No, I don’t think anything can prepare you for this type of agony. Perhaps I should’ve prepared something to bite down on?’ Gary awkwardly watched Kai suffer, unable to help him in any way. Fortunately, it only took a couple of minutes until he received a new message.
[Your Beta Werewolf (Kyle Hamper) has successfully become a Grey Werewolf Shapeshifter]
The Alpha Werewolf was quite surprised that the Unique Class was still a Werewolf Shapeshifter, merely with the prefix ‘Grey’, which coincided with Kai’s fur colour. This, in turn, begged the question whether it had some other effect he wasn’t aware of, and if so, what did it mean for him, who was a brown Werewolf, or Olivia, who was a black Werewolf.
“What… what the hell did you do?” Kai asked, his eyes scornful, yet his voice was too weak to convey his anger properly at the moment. He had a hand on the table, but he lacked the energy to stand up. The blonde teenager was looking at his body, and as the pain started to reside he noticed the change in his body, almost as if it had gotten lighter somehow.
“Hah, you can consider yourself lucky.” Olivia stated with a certain amount of schadenfreude in her voice. “At least you got a warning, and besides him and me, nobody saw your sorry state. In my case, I just thought I was gonna die in the middle of the street… and once I got better, my embarrassment made me wish I had died.”
[Grey Werewolves are a rare breed who gain extra strength whilst in the company of their kin, even if they’re not part of their Pack. Due to this, Grey Werewolves are often feared by their own kind, as they tend to come out on top when fighting their own.]
‘Thanks, System. So that should mean the colour of the fur is not just a coincidence after all. I guess Kai just was always meant to be a Werewolf, he learned everything at a quicker rate as well, and now he even has a Unique Class. Oh well… I trust Kai, so it should be okay.’
From what he had been able to read from the description, Gary guessed that Kai should be able to change into an actual wolf, and probably even other animals. However, just like with Olivia, although the system gave a lot of information about the class, individual things such as Skills and Stats were not something he had a way of seeing.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know it would be this bad. However, I promise you that you didn’t suffer for nothing. Like I said, I need the two of you to be at the top of your game when I’m gone. I would hate it if you or the others got hurt in my absence.” Gary apologised. “It's hard to explain what I did, but let's just say as the original Werewolf there are some things that I can do that you guys can’t.”
Kai was obviously curious to press for more, but he decided not to press Gary. If anything, he was more excited to find out what the changes were in his body and what he could do now.
“Tonight.” Gary said, having noticed the eager look in his friend’s eyes. Perhaps due to the time the two of them had spent in the cell together, the green haired teenager was able to see and read more of what Kai was thinking.
“We will meet up in the forest tonight, and we can test out some of the new tricks you’ll have up your sleeve, alright? On top of that, we also need to talk about what we’re going to do on the day after tomorrow, so that there won’t be three blood-crazed Werewolves running around Slough.”
“We need to see if we can get through it, and if we can, we need to make a plan for the future. Hopefully, the two of you will be able to replicate what I’ve planned, and ideally it will work even if we aren’t together.”
Remembering what had occurred on the night they had met Werewolf Billy, Kai knew the dangers of what could happen. For now, the three of them started to head upstairs. Olivia was planning to go her own way and would meet them up in the forest later, while Gary and Kai would have a relaxing time playing a couple of games.
After all, he wouldn't be seeing them as much now compared to before. When they reached the top of the stairs, the others were waiting, playing, joking and having a laugh with each other. In fact, Gary even noticed that Tyler was present in the room, the former cashier turned driver who was pretty much a member of the Howlers now.
‘I guess these are the people that have decided to stay around me. I should be fair to them, right?’ Gary thought, clenching his fist.
“Guys!” Gary exclaimed, and everyone in the room turned to look at him. “There’s something important I need to tell you all. I’m aware that all of you already know my secret… and I’m thankful that none of you have asked me about it. Before I go, I want to set the record straight. I’m not an Altered… I’m actually a Werewolf…”
