Chapter-2

*Static Noise*

"Hmm...? Where the hell is this noise coming from ?" Max asked as he woke up from his sleep.

Max opened his eyes slowly and looked around, He noticed that he was still inside his office. He then looked at his computer screen and noticed that it was making the static noise.

The screen was glowing crimson red and it was showing the same status screen like last time....

[Level: ???]

[Mana: ???]

[Titles: ???]

[Skills: ???]

"This, Again ? I thought I turned it off..." Max spoke as he stood up once again and went for the Screen's power cord, but as soon as Max looked at the electricity outlet, his hands started shaking because the Power cord was already out of the electric outlet.

'How the fuck, can this happen ?' Max wondered as his legs started shaking as well.

Max couldn't help, but shake in fear at this moment.

"Okay, this isn't happening... I am dreaming. Yes, I am dreaming, Please be dreaming..." Max spoke as he slowly pinched his cheek and realised that this wasn't a dream.

*Ting*

Suddenly, a sound came from the computer screen...

Max looked at the screen with a scared expression and noticed that the status window is changing.

[Name: Max Dekker]

[Class: Human]

[Level: 1]

[Mana: 10]

[Titles: ]

[Skills: ]

[Karma: 0]

"T-This is my name... W-What is this Karma-" Before Max could've completed his sentence, A half transparent Yellow coloured Screen appeared in front of Max and it was floating in Air.

"Woahhhhhhhh..." Max got surprised and fell down from his chair.

*Thud*

He lost his consciousness...

17 minutes later...

Max opened his eyes slowly and looked at the ceiling of his office.

"Ouch... What happened ?" Max asked in confusion, as he touched his head slowly.

Suddenly the yellow Screen appeared in front of him, once again and it said...

[Welcome Gift Received!!!]

[One Platinum mystery Box.]

"This is really happening, You are not dreaming Max." Max spoke to himself as he calmed his mind and looked at the screen carefully.

Max raised his hand slowly and tried to touch the screen, but as soon as he did... The text on the screen changed to something else.

[Activating the Quest System]

"Quest System ? That's one of the game's speciality, that I was developing. What the hell is happening here ?" Max asked with a confused expression.

[Zero Karma has been Detected]

"Karma ?" Max spoke.

[Random Quest will be given.]

[Quest (Rank-F)]

[Quest Info: Jump to Earth 667-H and Learn to Fight.]

[Failing Consequences: 20 minutes on Planet X-SF of Universe 190.]

[Winning Reward: One Bronze Mystery Box]

[Time left for Jump: 30 minutes 34 seconds.]

"What the fuck do you mean by Jump ? What is Earth 667-H and What is Planet X-SF ?" Max asked but no answer came to the screen.

[Would you like to open the 'Platinum Mystery Box' ?] Suddenly Another notification popped up.

"Platinum Mystery Box...? If i remember correctly, then... Platinum Mystery Box is one of the features that is given to the players at the start of our MMORPG. It's known to be the most expensive pack that can only be bought with money after the first free one.

Am I inside a game or something ? No, it can't be... I am still on earth and this game is based on ancient European Times. Then, What is happening here ? I am so fucking, confused." Max spoke with a confused expression.

Max slowly touched the open button on the screen and suddenly another screen popped up in front of him.

[You have obtained 1 Legendary Skill.]

[You have obtained 2 Travel Stones.]

[You have Obtained 1 Rare Artifact.]

[Reward will be credited to your Account.]

'Legendary skill, it's the highest tier of skill that a player can use in the Game, I don't know what a 'Travel Stone' is but the term 'Artifact' is used for magical equipments used in the game. They have five tiers, just like skills... Lower Grade, Middle Grade, Higher Grade, Rare Grade and Legendary Grade.'

As Max started thinking about it, an idea came to his mind...

"Open Inventory..."

'If this is really a game based interface, then... There has to be an inventory in this.' Max thought.

5 seconds passed but nothing happened...

"The fuck was I think-"

*Ting*

Suddenly, A screen popped up in front of Max. The screen was divided into 100 small squares of the same size.

Top three squares from the upper left side were full and rest 97 of them were empty.

"Can't believe on my fucking eyes... This shit is really happening." Max spoke as he looked at the inventory with a smile on his face.

Although Max was scared at first, but he knew that taking stress right now, won't help the situation. So, he stopped taking stress and decided to solve it calmly.

"What is that ?" Max wondered as he zoomed in on the items, that were inside the inventory.

The first square contained a small book with golden cover on it, the second square had a purple stone type thing in it and the third square had a small gun type thing in it.

"What if I click it ?" Max wondered as he slowly approached the first square and clicked on it slowly.

*Click*

[Would you like to open the 'Legendary Skill' Book ?]

"Open it..." Max spoke.

[Opening the Skill Book]

[Legendary Skill (Universal Eye) has been Learned Successfully.]

"Universal Eye ? I haven't heard of that skill in the game ?" Max questioned as he looked at the skill strangely.

Max suddenly noticed that the skill has an exclamation mark on it.

"What's this ?"
