The Extra’s Survival: Logging into the Game Master System!

The Apocalypse descended as the world turned into a game. And while everyone panicked, I couldn’t help but wonder if there was something wrong with my eyes. [Logging into the Game Master’s Account!] And my ‘oh-so-average’ destiny, changed into ‘is this a cheat life?’ Kind of destiny. [Would you like to Create a Skill? GM Points will be consumed!] While others struggled to kill a single goblin, I was searching for stronger monsters. While they were happy with getting even a random weak skill, I was customizing what kind of skills I needed. Even my Talents and Gifts can be customised. The only limit was my imagination. Heck, even the hidden quests that people would trigger randomly were present in front of me even before the scenario began.  It wasn’t fair by any means. But isn’t that how life is already? [Would you like to make changes to the quests in the next scenario? GM Points will be consumed!] Is this how an apocalypse is supposed to be? I don’t know. I just tried following the script in front of everyone while trying out my cheat in hindsight. Don't get me wrong with the ‘pig eating tiger’ kind of thing. I just don’t like attention. I would rather stay with two trusted friends than with 10 fake ones. [Would you like to Initiate a Custom quest for the Players? GM Points will be consumed!] And for the players who were bullying the ‘weak’ me. One may even wonder how they ended up losing half of their stats and skills in a randomly triggered impossible type of quest.  Fate can be truly scary, you know?  One must always be careful of it.

"It's much better than last time," I smiled at the concise information before clicking on the main quest

Difficulty: Hard!

Objective: Have 10,000 Points by the end of the Quest Time!

Time limit: 168 Hours!

Penalty: Death!

Reward: [Safe Box!] [Random Box!] [+2 Free Attribute Points!] ]

'So it's that kind of quest, huh?' I sighed as I didn't think much about it. I was going to kill monsters anyway so this was beneficial for me in many ways. Though I doubt others would share the same sentiment.

Plus it was a week long too. Seems like I need to plan a long way ahead.

"…"

For a moment, I just stared blankly at the last quest. I already knew that people will start killing each other, but prompting them to do that? 

My eyes looked at the white goblin in new disgust before I sighed. Seems like I need to watch my back even more while hunting now… can't even the closest associates either.

[Tutorial Level 3: Continuity Quest!

-Bring 1 Kg of Food in the Safe Zone!

-Bring 1 Liter of Water in the Safe Zone!

-Bring any form of Weapon to the Safe Zone!

"Seems like it's quite thorough," I narrowed my eyes on the quests. Unlike the simpler quests before, this one seemed like a well-planned long term game. Though all this did not matter to me as much. Since what was going to increase my survival was the next panel.

[Hidden Quest!]

-Gulp!

Gulping, I looked at those quests blankly. Too much information. Just by these 4 quests, I got information that changed my perspective and plans by a huge margin. 

Unlike before, I can't simply hunt and save… now I need to hurry up as well before someone else ends up finishing these quests.

And lastly… the [Unique Quest!]

[Tutorial Level 3 :Unique Quest: The one who rewrites the Apocalypse!

Difficulty: Epic!

Description: The Apocalypse has descended and the world is meeting its end. There is nothing that can prevent the world from dying. But what if there was a way to change that? To prevent the imminent end and a chance to overcome the impossible?

Objective: Change the ending of the Apocalypse!

Reward: ???]

I observed the [Quests] in front of me. From the start to the end, including the [Unique Quest!] and the [Daily Quests!].

Even though I had only 60… erm.. 55 minutes, I still gave about 25 minutes to read those quests and understand what kind of scenario we were given here.

'At first, it just looks like a monster hunt. But then there is saving the people. There are safe zones, and a hidden story that screams monsters and heroes,' that was the base if we ignore the [Unique Quest!].

'Find the artifact, save the chief, kill the boss monster, find the doppleganger, don't kill your allies,' I looked at various objectives of the Quests. 

"It's like a multiple ending game." 

And that was the conclusion that I reached at the end. 

"So, how should I play this out?" I then asked myself this question. 

Firstly, I need to kill the monsters. For that I would need 2 things, my stats and a weapon. I need to be careful with those first.

'Since mental abilities are pretty much useless right now,' I gave it a bit of thought before allocating 4 for agility, 4 for stamina and 4 strength, leaving 2 points in case of emergency.

Skills:[Perception!] ]

I felt a sudden rise of energy in my body, as if I could break a wall with my bare hands. I tried punching the air a couple of times out of excitement, but paused after I saw what I was doing.

Anyways, it seems like, I would not need to worry about the monsters as long as I have a dependable weapon. 

'I should create one later using GM points,' I decided that it would be best to leave that for that time.

"This solves the initial problem. The next is about saving the people," I gave it a bit of thought and concluded that the best way would be to increase my strength as I move forward with the quests. 

The stronger I will be, the faster I will be able to save people. Plus with [Perception], I should be able to see through the safest path as well.

"About finding the artifact and saving the chief. I guess, it's only possible with more information."

And that concluded my thoughts on what I need to do now. I could use [GM Points!] for creating another skill that would help me in this situation, but then that would be overkill. I do need to save some GM Points for the [Gift!].

Moving on with that, I then looked at the [Bettings!]

-Bet on the player (alive at the end of the game) with the least growth! { x50 GM Points}

After reading through the entire text twice, I found only two that suited best for my bet. Tempting as they all were, these were the only two I could control more or less, without showing off my powers.

[Minor Betting: Bet on the player with maximum [Safe Time]: 300 Points on (Adrian John Rodriguez)!]

[Growth Betting: Bet on the player with most Growth: 300 GM Points on (Adrian John Rodriguez)!]

[GM Points: 170!]

I sighed as I shook my head before waiting for the time to end. It was about time, we began the next level.
