Shawn sits alone at a bus stop reading thru the latest chapter of his favorite webtoon. The city streets buzzing around him as school and work come to an end for the day. He grabs his earbuds from his bag, resuming whatever music he was listening to the night before. He closes his eyes and listens as light jazz plays in his ears.
He has black hair and blue eyes. Not particularly handsom but not bad looking either. His school uniform looks recently pressed as is blows a bit with the breeze. His back pack laying next to him on the bench with a pencil and charging wire sticking out of the front pocket.
The old gray bus comes to a stop infront of him. The squeak of its brakes bringing him back to reality. He gets up and grabs his bag, placing his laptop into to back pocket before boarding the bus.
"Thank you"
Shawn says to the bus driver in passing. He places some change into the black cup at the front. He sits down in the very back of the bus. The old seats aren't particularly comfortable but he's used to the worn leather from the years he's ridden the bus.
He rests his head on the window, falling into the music still playing in his ears. Outside he sees people going about there day. Suddenly something strange blocks his view.
[Choose Your Pantheon]
Greek. Norse. Christian. English. Egyptian. Celtic. Chinese. Japanese. Etc…
A translucent window with a list of over a hundred different mythologies and religions pops up infront of Shawn. He raises his head to find other people also looking around confused. He can't directly see there windows but he can tell they can also see something infront of them.
An Egyptian khopesh suddenly apears infront of the lady across from him. She jumps in suprise before looking around. Her face even more confused now then it was before.
"What is this", she asked. Speaking to no one in particular
Shawn looks back at the screen. He adapted very quickly to the situation as he scrolls through the countless mythologies and religions.
"I remember studying this in school", he says as he clicks on the words {Celtic }.
"This the one with King Aurther.. right"?
After selecting Celtic as his mythos a second window apeared.
{Choose Your Class/ Sub-Class}
*Fighter
*Assassin
*Knight
*Druid
*Wizard
*Archer
Looking at the options, he decides to pick wizard as his main class and Knight as his sub-class. despite the black and white between the classes he hopes they won't be as incompatible as it seems.
\ Wave 1 \
As those words appear infront of him. Outside starts erupting in chaos as monsters crawl out from cracks forming in random doorways.
A staff appears in his hands and leather armor encompasses his body, but before he could do anything more to prepare himself a crack appears in the bus's' door.
A slim green hand appears to open the an invisible rift at the bus's' entrance. A small bald head with big pointed ears pokes through, followed by two lanky legs. Carrying a badly damaged dagger, its initially blank red eyes immediately start show murderous intent.
People start to run to the back of the bus. The bus driver is a bigger man and can't easily maneuver through the seats. The goblin lunges forward plunging its knife into the man's back. The bus driver falls forward as the goblins continues to violently stab the man in the back till his blood coats the floor.
In shock, the rest of the the people in the bus try braking windows or opening doors to escape but fail to do anything more then waist time. The goblin gets done with the old bus driver and moves further twords the back. Shawn tries to do something but the people crowd him, blocking his movements as well as his view.
Those who have already chosen there pantheon suddenly get a pop up in there window.
(Quest 1) "Deffend against the wave, and survive the monsters onslaught."
/Special reward /
Killing goblins leads to experience gain and possible hidden rewards.
Shawn tries desperately to get out of the crowd that's pushing through the bus though more and more people push past him forcing him closer to the goblin. The man closest to the monster looks around desperately for something to save him before grabbing Shawn and throwing him back twords the beast to save himself.
The disgusting goblin looks at Shawn. It two red eyes looking down on him like pray. With its dagger in hand it lunges, arms stretched out it tries stabbing Shawn but he blocks it with his staff.
"What the hell can I do", Shawn thought as he looked the monster in the eyes.
With years of experience in games and webtoons he knew wizards usually needed words to cast spells.
"Magic shot". Shawn desperately yelled, hoping for something to happen.
Suddenly a ball of energy shot out from his staff. It threw the goblin back against the front of the bus, denting the front panel and killing the goblin instantly.
