Chapter 1 - What the h*ll
Walking on the sidewalk, a young man can be seen drunkenly walking towards what presumably was his home.
Somehow managing to even get home, the young man took out a knife from his kitchen and after reaching his bedroom and lying on the bed, he slashed at his carotid artery, causing a near-instant death.
"Awaken."
A solemn and monotone voice sounded out within Leonard's soul and suddenly he found himself in his home.
"What the h*ll?!" Leonard looked downtrodden and frustrated.
"Anyway, since I don't even have the courage to kill myself, I might as well go outside for a walk." Leonard despairingly thought as he grasped his knife.
Upon walking out the front door of his house, he noticed several corpses stranded on the road and blood soaked buildings as well as hideous looking dogs.
"What the f*ck?!" Leonard thought he was going insane and pinched himself only to find the situation around him real.
Suddenly, "Ding! Ding! Ding!" a strange bell-like sound rang out and a strange voice filled his head.
"Congratulations to all newcomers to your new world, Elgaia. This will commemorate the first interstellar battlefield! To all newcomers as a newcomer bonus, we have decided to give all newcomers a [Skill Coupon] and a [Grand Draw Coupon]! We hope you all enjoy the bloodbath!" "To all newcomers, this world is similar to that of your Earth. If you wish to see your status, just think of seeing it. It will also be set to automated mode soon so for those who can't, don't worry, we'll do anything for our entertainment. The [Item Bag] will contain the coupons and works the same mechanism in which you will it to appear for you to see. The monsters will also start attacking you in 4 days time so I would advise you to take shelter!"
Finding all this rather confusing and horrifying, Leonard ran to the nearest building and hid there before closing his eyes to will his status to appear.

"F*ck, is this real?" Leonard felt insulted by the rating at the end.
Leonard took a few deep breaths and willed for the [Item Bag] to appear and saw a shiny golden ticket with the planet Earth imprinted on it and a silver ticket with a question mark imprinted on the middle.
Grabbing the silver ticket, he looked at it for a moment before an item menu popped up all of a sudden which reads:
[Skill Coupon]
Item Type: None
Status: Untradable/Undroppable
Durability: Indestructible
Remarks: It is used for gaining a Skill, not for blocking attacks. Any damage taken by the blow would still transfer to the user.
Would you like to use [Skill Coupon] now?
Yes / No
Leonard immediately picked Yes and a [Skill Roulette] came out with hundreds of Skills attached to it. It started to spin and a strange sound came out, when the spinner came to an end, it landed on [Random Skill Lv. MAX] and a notification appeared in front of him.
[Congratulations! You used the [Skill Coupon] and managed to get the Random Skill [Concealed Existence Lv. MAX]!]
Leonard looked at his status again. Only to find it changed.

Seeing the improvement, Leonard shows a smile.
Then, he willed his [Item Bag] to open once more and grabbed the golden ticket.
[Grand Draw Coupon]

Durability: Indestructible
Remarks: It is used for a [Grand Draw], not for blocking attacks. Any damage taken by the blow would still transfer to the user.
Would you like to use the [Grand Draw Coupon]?
Yes / No
He picked Yes again, now excited to see what he would get.
This time prepared, Leonard didn't get confused once the roulette appeared, only this time it was called the [Grand Draw Roulette] and was made out of what seemed to be gold.
It immediately started to spin and spin and spin until it came to a spot so tiny that the needle could just barely fit in it.
[Congratulations! You used the [Grand Draw Coupon] and managed to get the Eternal Skill [Heaven's Luck]!]
Looking at his mew status, he saw a weird symbol and a new stat that appeared.

Astonished by what he saw and understood, he started to get arrogant until he thought back to what the announcement said.
"Oh sh*t!" Leonard thought and realised that there were still monsters nearby in the vicinity and that they were monster dogs which would likely sniff his scent out if he didn't escape soon.
