"What is this..."
Looking in front of him, all Alex saw were 2 semi-transparent screens, one was telling him that the world was assimilated, and the second one looked like some form of video game-like system.

Reading this, he understood some of its meaning because it seemed similar to a video game status screen. Even though he understood what it was, he didn't understand why it was there. Deciding to think about it later and to keep moving, he stood up and continued walking. About 3 minutes after he started walking again he heard something moving in the leaves near him.
RUSTLE~
'I guess they caught up, I need to hide' he thought as he heard something walking towards him. He turned around and went to sit behind a bush as quietly as he could.
DING~
[Skill Obtained: Stealth LVL 1- makes user harder to detect(leveling up the skill will decrease chances of being detected).]
Another message popped into his view, the emotionless voice started speaking again and repeated the words as they appeared.
'That's useful' he thought as the sound got louder, 'How do I use a skill though?'
[Host must say the skill name while wanting to use the skill(can also be thought inside your head)]
'That's convenient,' he thought. 'Stealth'
[Stealth Activated: Host 25% harder to detect]
Just as he activated stealth. He finally saw what was causing the noise, 2 short green creatures, clad and leather armor and wielding primitive Spears walked out from behind the bush.
'What are those?' he thought while looking at the small green creatures.
'They look like goblins...'
[Skill Obtained: Inspect LVL 1 - see the status of items or living things(details increase with level)]
Alex decided to use this new skill on his opponents while quietly retrieving his dagger.
'Inspect,' he thought while looking at a goblin.
[Inspect:

'So they are goblins,' he thought while checking the other one only to get similar results. 'Why the fuck are there goblins in Central Park?'
Confused, Alex sat there and watched them. Alex decided to pick up a rock and throw it at a nearby tree.
THONK~
SNARL~
The 2 creatures turned around and snarled at the sound. they walked over to inspect the sound. After deciding that the two creatures were probably hostile, Alex decided to sneak up behind them. walking slowly making sure to be quiet Alex made his way up to about 6 feet away from one of them when he stepped on a branch.
SNAP~
Both creatures turn around right as soon as Alex started swinging his knife down towards the throat of the first goblin. The knife swinging true and hard, slashed deep into the throat of the goblin. seeing this the second goblin stabbed his spear towards Alex's abdomen.
DING DING~
[Level two goblin: 20 exp earned]
[Congratulations you have reached a level 2; all stats +1, +5 attribute points, +1 Skill Point]
[Skill Obtained: Slash LVL 1- Deal 2 times your strength stat in damage]
Ignoring the 3 notifications, Alex narrowly dodged the spear, barely making it out of the way he then stepped to the side and swings the knife down towards the side of the other goblins neck. stalling from having stabbed forward the second goblin cannot Dodge and gets stabbed right in the neck.
DING~
[Level 2 goblin killed: 20 exp earned]
[Congratulations you have reached a level 3; all stats +1; +5 attribute points, +1 Skill Point]
Shaking from taking something's life just now, Alex drops the bloody dagger and before he knows it, tears start flowing down his face from everything that's happened to him...his sister, and both of his parents, gone forever. Although he knows that he would have been gone forever too if he didn't kill them, it was still too much for him to bear, he is only 16 after all.
After about 10 minutes of sitting there, he came to the understanding that he did what he had to. Standing up and wiping the tears off his face with his blood-soaked hands, he leans over and picks up the knife.
"I need to clean myself up," he muttered realizing he was still in his pajamas, well... bloody pajamas now.
He walked around for a few minutes before hearing the sound of water flow. After following the sound for a few more minutes he came across its source, he found a creek about 15 feet across and about 2 feet deep at the most. Walking into the water, he takes off his shirt revealing his tall and lean build. After washing himself off and sitting down for a minute to start thinking clearly he remembers the notifications he received earlier.

"I do feel a little different, I wonder what I should put my attribute points into..." he was muttering while walking in a circle. "well I want to keep everything even so that I don't get unbalanced..." he continued. "I would also prefer to keep my agility higher too, better to be able to dodge every attack rather than to just tank it in my opinion..."
"What do each of these attributes do?"

"How do I use attribute points though..."
[Host just has to say where they want them]
"Put 2 in luck, 2 in strength, and 1 in agility then, I feel like that is the safest option for now. I'll also save the rest for later until I figure out what is going on. I should probably get out of the park first though"
[Hosts Attribute points have been allocated]
