Monster Evolution

Never in his wildest dreams that one of his fantasies would come true and the one to ask to meet him was her. It was the exact opposite of what he imagined since they day he saw her. But he felt weird for why Rose would suddenly meet up with him. Rose had a cold personality and she rarely interacts with anybody except during class or school activities.

He completely disregarded the fact that Rose may be the one who emitted the killing intent. Perhaps a disaster would occur later and he might be endanger. His critical thinking skills was blinded of the sudden occurrence asking him out. He forgot and lowered his guard.

The school was lively and in an uproar and many students banded out together to hunt out the one who took Roses heart.

"Mark! Every guy who likes Rose in school is looking for you! Hahaha." One of his classmates mockingly said aloud.

Mark became the hottest gossip and public enemy of all the boys in school. He immediately dashed out from the classroom to find a place to hide. Due to his improved physique, He ran faster than he used to be in the past.

"Isn't that Mark Howler?" Someone recognized him.

"WHERE!?" a dozen voices shouted in unison.

Knowing there was a group nearby, he ran as fast as he can. His dreams may come true later but he didn't want to be constantly hunted down by his schoolmates.

'The rule should not have been broken'. Mark thought.

Every guy knows that there was a rule that Rose should be left untouched and only be worshipped by the guys in school. Mark caused everybody to be jealous.

'I was not the one to even ask her out!' Mark was helpless.

He found himself a place to hide at the back of the school where many students use to go skip classes and hang out. There, he saw couples making out and someone being bullied. It was the perfect place to hide for the time being.

He sat down feeling slightly tired from all the running. The School was big and had many buildings. He ran from his classroom in complex A to the back of the building of Complex E. A prestigious school would always be like this. The school houses many elites and rich students that make up most of the population.

He rested there for a while but he was starving and he wanted to eat lunch. Deciding whether he would go to the cafeteria or not was like having life or death if getting caught by the groups.

"Why is my luck so bad?" Mark said and smiled wryly.

He didn't even do anything and he is going through such an ordeal. He thought he was living some kind of romantic novel where the protagonist gets hunted down by the envious masses.

He couldn't ignore the hunger as it was getting worse and he must soon find food. He felt his stomach was in pain. His improved physique required him to eat more to gain energy. He thought that perhaps his body is yearning for human flesh as he thought constantly of eating human flesh and drinking blood from the cauldron. His monster instinct was kicking in.

He suddenly felt that his sense of smell improved. He was getting fragrant scents from different directions. He couldn't imagine where all this was coming from.

'Is it dead people again?' Mark mused. He dismissed the thought of dead bodies everywhere. He dismissed it as it would be ridiculous that everywhere in the world there would be bodies lying around the ground ready for the picking.

He decided to track one of the scent that was the most near to his location. He found himself before a bush where the scent was coming from. He was somehow unprepared to see what was inside.

"A squirrel?" He must have thought there would be another dead body.

It would be a crime scene already if he found a dead body. He checked the squirrel because it was not moving. He saw the squirrel was skinny, like it was s.u.c.k.e.d all of its insides. He was flabbergasted of what he saw. He came up with a conclusion that he was not alone in school and there were other monsters.

He was still hungry and was left with no choice but to eat the leftover of another monster. The pain gradually left him and he was rejuvenated from his lunch. He would never tell anyone of what he did today. It was the most disgusting thing that he had ever done.

The School bell rang and he made his way back to the classroom. Most of the groups have already returned to their own classrooms. His journey back was safer and he sighed in relief.

He arrived inside and was met with the gazes of his classmates. He didn't know what they thought and he didn't care anyway.

The classes went on smoothly the whole afternoon and he listened attentively.

He remembered that he was meeting her later and couldn't help but glance over her. He was surprised as she was doing the same thing also looking at him.

He smiled but he was greeted with a cold look. Not even a smile was given.

'She is rather harsh. What do I have to have her become interested in me?' Mark thought.

He was trying to connect the dots and what would be the reason why. He thought that Rose maybe a hunter. His dreams would all be over as he would be hunted down by his love for the rest of his life. He couldn't help imagining this and he slightly smiled over the fact that it might come true. Mark has weird perverse m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t imaginations of what Rose would do if he got caught.

'It is free to dream anyway'.

Afternoon came and classes was over. He was preparing himself to meet Rose at the rooftop. He saw her walking and leaving the classroom. Rose was already near the door as he glanced at Mark before she left.

This was a signal that she was expecting him to come at the rooftop. He got up and was preparing to leave when a person suddenly barged in the classroom looking for him.

"Where is Mark Howler?"

It was Ryan who was looking for him. Ryan received news that the goddess of the school was going to confess to somebody. He did not expect it to happen and he felt that only he in the entire school is worthy of her affection.

He was told that the guy Rose was going to confess was a classmate of hers. He bursted with anger and envy when he learned that the one who Rose was going to confess was Mark. The one who he likes to bully the most.

Immediately after class he got up and left going to Mark's classroom.

"If you're a man, fight me fu*cker!" Ryan shouted.

Ryan was obsessed with Rose. He constantly sent her flowers and messages. He always expressed his love for her to be only rejected every single time he did. It did not affect his determination to win her heart. As he would persevere and Rose may come to love him back in the future.

Ryan got close to Mark with big steps. He punched with a left jab to Mark's face. He grinned because he thought that it was all over and soon Mark would be lying down on the floor.

Mark instinctively dodge and counterattacked with his own right hook. Ryan was surprised that Mark would dodge all of a sudden. He got hit and stumbled on the ground. Some of his teeth got broken. He didn't know that Mark was this strong. He commanded his underlings to surround Mark and beat him up.

The underlings rushed towards Mark and he dodge every single punch they have thrown at him. Mark was having a good time because when the fight started he felt his blood began to boil as he instinctively prepared to fight. His body became lighter.

Everyone was beaten up by Mark and they have bruised faces and black eyes. They never could have imagined that this wimpy guy could fight all of them. It was a new experience for everybody and all the onlookers. They secretly decided to stop messing with Mark in the future. They were inwardly shocked in the sudden display of skill. They thought Mark was hiding his true abilities.

Everybody had weird expression on their faces. Mark shrugged it off and never cared what would they think about him. They would never come up with a idea that Mark was a monster.

Mark left the classroom and went for the stairs leading towards the rooftop. Everybody was in awe of what just happened earlier and it was hard to believe. Not many could fight with so many people rushing at the same time.

Mark's enhanced physique gives him the advantage during the fight as his body became lighter. He also sensed that as he was fighting the guys rushing towards him was slower than him in his perception as like they were going in slow motion. It became easy to dodge and counterattack everybody. They saw Mark as he was like a boxing expert.

They did not know that Mark was a monster and they were only normal people. Mark would soon become famous of fighting 8 people all at once. His fame would spread and many martial arts club would invite him.

He was at the door leading to the rooftop. He was kind of nervous because he did not know what would happen next. She only told him to meet with her. There was no indication of a confession. Only the envious boys in school made up the whole thing.

He thought that something was not right. There was never in a million chance to meet up with her like this. Rose did not put anyone before her eyes.

He slowly turned the knob of the door and opened it when he saw her standing there gazing over the school and students below.

"I'm here." Mark said weakly.

Rose did not say a word. Mark felt that she didn't even seem to hear him at all. Perhaps she is thinking about something Mark thought.

[Silence]....

He waited for her for some time.

Finally, Rose turned around and looked at him. She grinned. Mark didn't like the look on her face as he felt that this girl is dangerous. His instincts were roaring that he should get out of there.

Mark didn't know what to do. He was nervous of what possibly might happen at this moment. He positioned himself ready to dash towards the door. Rose noticed his actions and the door suddenly slammed shut.

He was surprised and concluded it was spiritual energy. He did not know how she could have done that. She may be too powerful for him at the moment. He needed a plan to escape as his last plan did not work.

Rose suddenly laughed. Hahahahaha.

It was like mocking Mark of his actions and what he has been thinking.

He looked at her and thought she must have been toying for how weak he is. He felt helpless at the moment and did not know what could he do.

His dreams to meet up with the love of his life ended in a life or death situation. He couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly.
