Being an Altered already put one ahead compared to the regular people on the outside, with their super strength, speed, lifespan, health, and overall transformation capabilities.

The thing was, being in the AFC also did the same, because it was a place where those who weren't just Altered but also skilled at fighting entered.

Of course, there would be strong Altered members of gangs and such who just never bothered to enter the AFC, but on a comparison as a whole, those who entered the AFC were extremely skilled at using their powers.

For Gary, he wasn't just someone who had entered the AFC, but someone who was pinned to be a new top 50, a superstar rookie in the making. It was why, without even transforming, Gary was able to topple most of the members that came his way.

"I heard a little rumor…" Gary stated as he started to walk towards Stinger and his group.

They were startled and hunched together, but soon one of them started to fidget, and in the end, they broke from their group, running forward. Their faces had started to transform.

Right in front of their eyes, Gary had disappeared from their sight, and a fist was coming from the side, ready to hit the Altered's temple. It smashed it, sending him flying and skidding across the ground.

"It would have hit some of the prisoners who were standing and watching, but they managed to move away just in time."

"In this place, they said that killing was allowed," Gary stated. "With this attack of yours, if I didn't join your group, did you plan to kill me?"

Right on cue after Gary said those words, Stinger just said the words that naturally came to his mouth.

"Kill him!" Stinger shouted.

Immediately, the nine remaining members all ran forward, and even Stinger had transformed quickly. Out from his backside, a large scorpion-like tail curled up and hovered over his head.

All of the others started to transform, but before one could finish, Gary had lifted both of his hands and slammed them on top of one of the Altered, sending him crashing to the ground.

Right at that moment, a solid leg came out, hitting Gary right in the stomach. It shifted his feet back slightly and took the wind out of him, but he was mostly fine.

Getting his footing, he charged forward at the attacker, and grabbed onto them, lifting their body up. He could see Stinger's sting coming down at him, and at the right time, Gary placed the body in front of him.

Stinger had pierced right through Stinger's own ally, hurting him in the process.

Gary then let go of the body, moving to the next group that was next to him. They threw out fists, which he managed to avoid, and transforming part of his mouth, Gary then chomped down right between the attacker's neck and shoulder. A large chunk came out, but Gary didn't spit it out onto the floor; instead, he swallowed it down.

"I can tell, every single one of these guys, when they're attacking me, they're attacking with the intent to kill!"

A sharp clawed hand had sliced right at Gary's chest. He had leaned back, avoiding most of the hit, but a large cut and blood still came out from his clothing.

[Claw drain.]

In response, Gary then hurled forward and swung his own claw, cutting right across his opponent's chest. Due to the skill being used, Gary's own wound started to heal right there and then.

Two strong hits from Altered's bashed him in the chest, but Gary took them well. He lifted them from the back by digging his claws in and then throwing them off to the side.

His legs and arms had transformed even more compared to before, and rather than reverting back, he stayed in his transformed state and went ahead to bulldoze straight toward Stinger.

The others at this point, after seeing the full rampage that Gary could do, had decided to step out of the way.

One brave prisoner, whose fist transformed into a type of giant rock, threw it out to hit Gary. In response, Gary went to throw out his own fist. When both of them connected, the man was still lifted up off his feet, the stone hand cracking and bleeding in places as it fell to the floor.

Immediately after, Stinger came swooping down from the side. It hit Gary in his ribs and was dragging him across the place. Wrapping his arm around Stinger, he held on tight. Then he lifted his hand.

[Claw drain.]

Gary repeatedly struck Stinger with his claw again and again, blood was dripping on the floor from the open wound. He continued to claw at the same spot as blood was filling the entire area.

Until the stinger had finally fallen apart.

[Lethal pounce]

Jumping from his position, he moved to the right, and then launched, landing right on top of Stinger. Both of their hands were locked in place, Stinger on the floor doing what he could to try and push Gary off.

"I'm a leader of a tier 3 gang, I'm one of the main ones in charge of this place, you have no idea what you're doing!" Stinger grunted as he tried to push back.

"F*ck you and your gangs!" Gary shouted. "I'm getting out of here!"

Gary's face had fully transformed into its Werewolf form, and opened his mouth wide, digging his sharp teeth right into Stinger's neck.

"ARGHHH!" Stinger screamed in pain, and the strength in his hands had almost disappeared.

Feeling this, Gary finally stood up, huffing and panting, standing in place. There was blood all over the place where they were fighting. Injured men and blood.

Some were just too shocked and scared, lying on the floor, still worried to get up or make any type of movement.

The onlookers didn't even know what they had seen, even though they were right there.

"As for that rule, it's alright to kill people in here. Well, you guys tried taking my life, I need to take yours, in order to save some that I care about."

[76,500 Exp gained]

[Congratulations, you have leveled up!]

[You have successfully defeated one of the three groups]

[5 pawn points have been awarded]

[1 stat point has been awarded]

[You are now level 34]

Gary then looked at Stinger; there were many looking around still, and there would be those who would think he was crazy, so it was better for him to do it in silence.

Gary knelt down and picked Stinger up by the bottom of his leg, and started to drag him away. No one dared ask what he was about to do or got in his way.

For Gary, though, he wouldn't waste any of this chance. He needed to grow stronger; his opponent was the type of person who was able to put him in this place, so he needed to consume them to be able to match them.

Gary had slid Stinger halfway across the room, ready to head back through his hallway to his cell, but before he could, a guard had arrived.

"Gary!" The guard shouted; he started to stutter slightly, seeing the blood on Gary's clothes and the area around. "You… you have a visitor."
