#9- Crunch Time!
After i reached Level 10, everyone was hellbent on following my example, i told them what to do!
For the next week, everyone was scrambling to reach Level 10, fighting beasts, finding DNA, drinking potions.
Sasha had reached Level 10 first and her stats were pretty good.

Sasha and i became closer after that, since we're both insects, it would make sense, Mlillie gave a thumbs up.
However, if there was one thing i've learned, is that life isn't fucking fair...
Ashley reached Level 10 as well:

She then went on a rampage, anyone who was still bellow Level 5 were killed by her, good people too, those who were above Level 5 were convinced to join her group on the promise of shared resources, of course she would get first pick of the spoils.
Me, Sasha, and Millie who was at Level 8 stayed clear away from her, it was obvious she was trying to gain control of the whole village!
It took some time, but Millie finally reached Level 10, and just in time too, only 2 days before the Newbie Protection Period ended.
We also found out that until the period ended, our levels were capped at 10, only after the period ends will we be able to level up again.
So, we spent the last two days grinding for resources, beast coins, potions, and DNA.
DNA was the most important to me, as i wanted to fill my last slot before the period ended, and as luck would have it, i got it in a trade with one of my classmates, i gave him some meat in exchange for Raging Great Ape DNA!
After injecting the DNA into my system, i could feel my muscles swelling, real muscle mass, i could finally say "Fuck You!" to my Muscular Dystrophy.
Granted, i was completely buff, but it was a start!

On the last day, eveyone who hadn't reached Level 10 yet was scrambling to get there, Ashley simply told her gang that those were unable to reach Level 10 didn't deserve to live, which pissed me off to no end.
Soon the sky turned red, and the system's voice spoke.
Newbie Protection peroid over!
"I don't like the way she said that." i said....
Chapter End.
