Gary was surrounded in the open space, and rather than it look like anyone was ing round to help him, instead, it just looked like all the others were there to watch a show.
[You have been surrounded by a group of prisoners being led by a man named Stinger]
[New Quest received: defeat the group and get stronger, aiding you on your journey out of here.]
If there was one saving grace about the whole thing, it was the fact that Gary was getting something out of it. It wasn't the same as when he went up against random gang members on the street; all of these were Altered, which meant they were somewhat worth fighting.
"Attack him!" Stinger shouted.
Immediately, the man from before with his pursed lips spat out several spitballs, to which Gary moved his head from side to side, avoiding them all.
Another prisoner had transformed, with his skin turning slightly green, and started to throw slime towards Gary, to which he shifted his feet, moving a few times, avoiding them all.
When the gooey substance hit the floor, Gary could see that it was somewhat stuck on the ground. After unsuccessful attempts at getting him from far range, a few others had decided to charge forward.
One had practically sprinted right at Gary, transforming his legs into a type of animal, but once again, Gary had ducked the attack, making it avoid him, and the man overshot, running ahead and nearly crashing into a wall.
"This guy, does he have some type of sixth sense? He's avoiding everything!" Stinger plained.
This was when one of Stinger's best-performing men, who had been at the prison nearly as long as him, had acted. He charged forward, and when he threw out his hand, it started to extend.
His arm had transformed into a type of javelin spear with a large stinger that had e out, relatively thick, right towards Gary.
The force and speed of the strike were quite different pared to everything before.
Seeing this, Gary then lifted his hand, and it started to transform; the brown fur was appearing, and right then, he grabbed onto the stinger, stopping it right in its tracks.
The man tried to move it, he tried to pull it back out, but Gary had a firm, strong grip on the stinger that had attacked him.
At that moment, the Altered that had attacked had a slight worry going through his mind.
'This guy, he's not just fast, but he's incredibly strong as well, and just his arm transforming... I just noticed, but he avoided all those attacks before, without even transforming... does this mean he's not just stronger than us, he's actually on a whole other level.'
"What is wrong with you guys today? Did you all drink out of the funky juice, or something!" Stinger shouted, annoyed at his group's performance.
This one person was practically humiliating him, and he could see that the eyes of the other groups were looking at them.
Just then, though, from the staircase, one of the men came running down to Stinger's side.
"We just got news from the old new guy we beat up," the man said in a loud whisper. "It turns out that the Howlers are a tier 2 gang! And he said something about them being the strongest tier 2 gang out there."
Almost immediately, Stinger felt his heart sink slightly. He was a leader of a tier 3 gang in the past, in just a regular tier 3 town, it was nothing special, but in the prison, he was in quite a high position.
"That's crazy, how e we never heard about them before!" Stinger argued back.
"Apparently, they rose out of nowhere showing their strength."
"Ah well, just because he's a part of that gang, doesn't mean he's strong himself." Stinger retorted.
"Actually, about that," the man said nervously, looking right into Gary's eyes.
Right there and then, Gary pulled the stinger forward, and the man felt his entire body leap toward him. With a fist, Gary planted it right in the man's face, making his body flip in the air several times.
[Lethal pounce]
Before the body even landed, Gary activated another skill, making him jump from one position; he then slashed right at one of the attackers, causing a deep mark right across the man's chest, sending him off into the distance.
However, it wasn't nighttime, so the effects of his class weren't into play yet, but Gary still had moved again, pouncing toward another target. That was because his skill had already evolved; all of his skills during the time had grown stronger pared to before.
He slashed above, cutting off the lips of the man who had spat on his food, then kicked him right in the stomach. The man went flying back as his back hit the staircase, and a loud cracking noise was made.
Just like that, Gary had dealt with three of the attackers. The original man Gary had attacked had finally fallen on the floor. All three of those that Gary had hit, none of them were getting up again.
Gary stood there looking toward Stinger, who still had around ten men or so around him. All of them looking nervous, a little afraid to move forward.
Some watching from the sides, in the shadows, were quite amazed by the performance they had seen.
'The newer, he seems to be a little wild, huh.'

The man standing next to Stinger was sure of it now after seeing everything.
"He said that he was an uping rookie in the AFC... one of the best and that he disappeared into nowhere. It looks like all those things were true."
