chapter 1

I was surrounded by a blinding light but bit by bit I was able to see a little at a time after few seconds I found myself in a white space with many people who I mostly recognize them because we were just working together just few minutes ago I titled my head and after remembering what I last saw I hurried had touched and looked at my body but I was surprised from what I saw was my normal working clothes (weren't there a big fire and the whole factory exploded) I shook my head "must have been a dream" I have been tired for some time now I looked around once again and the same where space was the same (I don't usually remember my dreams or even recognize it being a dream so it's kind of a new thing for me what now a God or something will appear) I smiled to myself but before I was able to deny that a human figure appeared from thin air I only blinked for him to appear but from what I saw from all of the people around I wasn't the only surprised one as all of my co-workers moved away from that figure he looked left and right well he doesn't really have eyes or any feature of being a human other than his shape but his head moved around looking at everyone after making a full swing from his head he returned to look at empty space "well then shall we start" after hearing that voice I'm sure now that I'm more or less dead (well not that I was living for a reason its more or less better like that but better be sure) so I raised my hands the figure looked at me I coughed twice took a deep breath "um sir are we dead" he tilted his head and I did the same but then that voice came again "not anymore" as he was enjoying himself "so we were dead before" an eye popped out of his face or should I say returned to its place he nodded to me (so it's kind of summoning well not that I'm against it) but others didn't have that way of thinking as few of the men went forward and asked all kind of cliche things like can we go back or stop joking around I shook my head (can't they figure out what happened) that figure looked at them one by one "I can if you want to go back" they looked happy I went back few steps ( well I don't want to leave this place but it depend I don't want to live in a giant killing Land where the percent of dying is higher than %99at these kinds of places and time) I sighed as they looked with anticipation  can't they really understand (well not like they have loved reading  any kind of novels) now realizing me being the odd one I stayed silent that figure waved his hand and a screen came to light like it was there all along there a destroyed land but I could recognize the land around it "t-that can't be is that thing for real" after the owner of the factory said that the other workers realized it I looked closely and I could see some bodies there white figure said only then "do you still want to go to that world or more specificly into those dead bodies" once he said that they gave up some still tried to figure out other ways to go back but the white figure didn't answer any of their question he only reacted when someone got angry and asked him who he is "me you can say I'm a beginner guide" with a flick of his hands all the men that were close to him returned to their original spot I got amazed by that while the others were surprised by it the white figure clapped his hand once and all of us looked at him " well then shall we start " with a flick of his finger a little window appeared in front of my eyes (is this Windows 7) as it reminded me of it's painful old error sad face I feel like I should punch this window but knowing that it's not real I gave up and read what was there not there being alot only the choices and the number of points which is 7 above them I didn't do anything and just read through them the Grey one first

1- random enhancement

I read that and emotions wept out of my body ( heck yeah skills are real here) but knowing how important they are I looked at the rest the silver one first

2- specific enhancement

I looked at it realizing how good this choice but once I thought about choosing it a list way taller than me was in front of me and the writing was way too small for me to read it normally but I somehow was able to read everyone of them but I left it after seeing that it require at least two points for any kind of an active skills there are ones that even require more than what I have so I left that choice and looked at  the last golden written choice

3- grand prize

I looked at the third tilted my head ( well I can figure out what can the first two indicate but the last choice is weird) I looked at the people they were spacing out or looking left and right i only realized now that my two cousins were there as well but I left them for now (well let's try the random one first) but I hesitated for a second knowing that my luck is terrible most if the time it remind me whenever I play ff I don't have encounters when I try to grind but when my hp is near zero at every single step there are monsters behind me I sighed ( well it help me when I think about it later on) I took a deep breath and touched the first choice after that a book like thing appeared and it shuffled open with a single light hitting my body but it just went inside of me and I looked at the book but nothing happened ( did I get a passive skill) but then memories I don't know about hit me hard very hard that I couldn't stay at my feet I used my hands to remain from falling head first but the memories were alot and came with a painful headache what I saw was a terrible place with blood at the ground and people there being pierced the body I was possessing wasn't at a good condition as well with a spear trusted by his enemy going through his chest I felt fear pain anger and hopelessness all at once but then I closed my eyes and breathed heavily as I returned to the white space I couldn't think about anything other than calming my racing heart I looked at the white figure and he was looking at me "seems like one of you have more courage than the others he already used his first try" with all the eyes on me I took a deep breath and remembered who I'm leaving any gazes on me weren'timportant right now (that person isn't me he is a dead one remember who you are you are an idiot who want to live his life you wouldn't jump into war for that ridiculous reason) as I calmed myself down the others started to choose their skills but I didn't from what I saw just now rest white figure is more dangerous than what I ever thought he would be (and he said that he is the beginner guide ha more like the end boss) but with those memories I have more information I can get but there are still things I don't know but I have the answer in front of me ( I have to be careful of him and his whims I don't want to bore him) I took a final breath got up and went toward him he looked right at me and those memories hit me again now I knew what kind of being I  front of me I felt terrified I took a deep breath and left him looking at me until I calmed myself down I looked straight at those eyes that could kill if he just wished to "I have few questions" a mouth appeared and he smiled at me "how can I be of help" I didn't waver from my fear of him even though my whole body was shaking knowing what kind of creature that is in front of me I opened my mouth "I would like to ask information about our skill selection" he titled his head "oh right I forgot to tell you about that well I never thought you would actually ask something of use" I looked at him and reached for my waist to not find anything there but then I realized what I did and I looked at my hands and thought about that skill I just got I went back and left him as he flicked his finger and all the information I needed for those choices I can get from them

1- random skill: able to choose a random skill can be anything in the world

2- specific skill : getting a specific skill with its price being tagged

3- grand prize : using all of your points for one skill polished to the extreme

I read them thoroughly and nodded to myself the others looked I disbelief as they read the skills (well to Me those aren't really different only the third choice was the vague one and the reason I risked my life to ask for but now I have more leverage that I can choose from ) as I sighed with some men trying to act against the human figure saying something like it's not fair  or they already used their skills for something useless I would never try to make a move against him and as I thought he looked annoyed with only his sigh they disappeared only to remain a pool of blood in their place with a splash it hit most of the people after about five seconds of total silence ansceeam and other people started to run away only me stood there looking at the blood and any other ones who lost the will to escape  the white figure got more annoyed with a flick of his hand all the runaways returned to theirnoriginal spot with shackles around their feet "this is annoying hurry up and choose already" as he said that all the women screamed while the men went back few steps away from him only to eell down from the shackles around their legs I only looked at the blood with little disgust not for how they looked but because this might have happened to me not long ago "you have one minute to choose or you won't continue under my judgment" he said that and a timer appeared above his head and it started to count down the people saw that and they started to hurry and choose after seeing that I also hurried and dug into my new memories to get the most useful ones I can choose from (first thing first the first choice is useless it's way too random for it to be of any use same for the third one an extreme level skill is way too rare but I need to survive now I don't know where I would be thrown at once we go outside) after the half minute they all chose their skills a panel appeared in front of the white figure he looked it throughly with smile at his face " good then shall we start out the tutorial" with a flick of his hand

We got sucked into the ground we were standing at and after few seconds we fell from the sky finding ourselves inside of a dark space with barely any light source but from what i know of those places i know that its dangerous around here i opened my hands and a small flame lit the space the others looked at me but i removed it because of the small burn mark at my palm (not a speck of resistance this is more of a bother) i looked around my body with my clothes changed and a pouch at my waist inside of it a knife and a first aid kit nothing more i held the knife and moved it with my hands but being who i know i'm I wouldn't really be able to use it in a good use (I have to try) but as i figured my hand isn't used for those things i sighed and tried few more times before getting the hang of the knife by that time we got used to the dim light of the space I could see at most about three feet away from me five feet is the most I could recognize after that I won't see anything I heard a scream with a laugher beside it I looked at the spot behind me but I didn't see from there I moved a little but and I saw a woman with a club sticking out of her head with blood falling down as she fell at the ground emotionless I left her and looked at the creature that did that it's commonly known as raper since their race doesn't have women a body of a small child with the strength of an adult human (a goblin huh) I looked at my back with other people reaching here after they saw that creature they went back few steps some of the men got their weapons in front of them but I could clearly see that they would die if that goblin wanted to hunt them but since I'm the closest one to it he looked at me (well let's light a fire first) as a ball of fire was scorching my hand I held the pouch threw the first aid kit with my free hand and threw it at the goblin right after it the fire ball was hitting after the bag the goblin dodged to the side but the pouch was a flame now I could see I held my knife and got ready my right hand was black from the flame that ate at it the goblin charged and swung his club at me I tried to block it but he lived up to his strength I was easily pushed back and my hand barely still holding the knife (better end it fast a battle of attrition isn't a good choice) realizing my body isn't really a good one yet I got my hand a flame once again with pain coming right at me I charged at the goblin he swung his club with both hands but I slipped beneath him thanks to the goblin being a bit taller than the average one and me not actually being that tall I was able to dodge it barely though I used the chance of him swinging his club and trusted my knife at his back and holding his head with my flamed hand with him writhing in pain he swung backward I left the knife and blocked using my hand as the club hit it I hit the ground with my hand broken I felt the pain and was at the ground until I saw the club coming at my head I went to the side founding the goblin getting ready for another hit I left my broken hand felt the rage and pain and with a push of adrenaline I jumped atop of him with my flamed hand digging At his eyes with blood and screaming coming from the cave the goblin was able to throw me from him I rolled and got up I looked at him as he got up one hand still holding the club while the other one is at his eye socket with blood coming down from its looked at the blood and insaw my knife at the ground not to far away but the goblin looked at the same direction he was closer to it so I won't reach it without being hit first with my one hand broken and the other being scorched I have to finish it now "hey catch" a small knife much smaller than mine was beside my foot the goblin saw it and left the club got the knife and went toward me I got the knife and threw it right at him he dodged it but I was right in front of him with my fist hitting his face he flew away and I didn't stop as I went on forward got the knife again since I didn't put too much strength at throwing it got my blazed hand to stop the fire I can't feel it anymore so I didn't know if my hand Is holding the knife good enough bit I don't have time for that right now I only have one chance so I removed any thought and got my knife at the goblin's chest as he was about to get up he couldn't see because both of his eyes were burned I rushed back once again after hitting him with the knife as inhad hard time breathing the goblin was screaming and waving his hand left and right I caught my breath and threw a stone to the side as the goblin looked at the right I smacked his right cheek with a stone at my left hand he got that hit and he finally hit the ground but to make sure I hit his hand which was holding the knife breaking I took the knife and trusted it at the middle of his forehead killing him for sure breathing heavily I sat beside him holding my knife at hand but after few seconds I got up all of the people looked at me as I stuffed my knife at my pelt and I went straight toward the dead woman she didn't get many things I don't have but a hood she got was useful I removed it with anything I found of use I found another first aid kit within her pouch so I took her pouch since mine was still on fire I went to my box of first aid and applied it to my broken hand as the green liquid went through it my hand healed a bit (still need few hours huh well its better than my burned hand) I left the rest and only used a bandage for my scorched hand with a very dim but comfortable light around my scorched hand before the pouch got burned to crisp I went and got the club to catch the fire with It I saw all the horrified looks of the people as they looked at me with some of them were at the ground puking whatever they had on their stomach "what"
