[Welcome. You have finally accepted the system so allow me to explain everything to you.]

"Explain? I didn't accept anything." I say in a low voice.

[As a combat soldier, you do not possess any magic power or life steal. However, you do possess 30% increase in your attack speed when you attack someone. This is called your Passive]

" Passive?" I ask suprised as the messages disappear once again while another one appears.

[ Your HP is currently full however, you have to be careful because you have a low agility score. You won't die but your movement will be slow. You can go ahead to buy weapons and machinery that can save your life in battle. They are all in the Shop at the corner. Right now, you have very few weapons and coins. You can use the coins to buy weapons and other machinery. Be forewarned that it will be not as perfect as weapons bought with Gold. When you complete the tasks, you will gain exp that will help in you leveling up. The more tasks you do, the more faster you gain exp.]

Clicking on the Shop, I watch as a new view opens showing the list of guns and machinery around. Most of them are locked. Probably because I don't have enough money. Glancing through them, I nod my head sighing. The most advanced weapons and shields could only be bought with Gold just as the system had said. My stats looked good so I didn't have any problem. However, why was I given a system?

" What do I get from this? Is this some sort of computer installed in my brain?" I ask.

[ You can level up. The more you level up, you might get some exclusive weapons that can help to preserve your life. This weapons will also appear in front of you when you equip them. Healing packs can also be gotten in the Shop so know when to buy one.]

Task: Buy a new gun

Pressing the option for the Shop, I immediately glance through it to see which gun I can buy with the little money I have.

M24 Sniper Gun: 50,000 Coins

M9 Bayonet: 20,000 Coins

M1842 Pistol: 10,000 Coins

M67 fragmentation grenade: 6,000 Coins

M47 Riot Control Grenade: 8,000 Coins

M18 Colored Smoke Grenade: 10,000 Coins

M240L medium machine gun: 20,000 Coins

" So expensive." I say as I look at the option of weapons available.

Although there are many other guns, they are licked and I can't access them. Clicking on the M1842 Pistol, I buy it immediately since it's the only gun available within my budget. Spotting my coins reduct, my eyes narrow as I watch the gun enter my inventory. The sudden alarm bell ringing gains my attention as I look away. This time, some men dressed in a strange black alien suit come inside our room waking the rest up.

" Today, you all be transported to a very special place. A lot of people will be watching this match so do not disappoint us." A man in a weird black alien suit said as he looked at all of us.

Since his face is covered, we have no way of identifying him except from his coarse voice.

" I want to leave. You said I could leave when I wanted to. These tournaments are too cruel. You are forcing us to kill each other." An old man in his 70's suddenly says standing up which suprises me.

His clothes look very worn out and his face still has some stains of blood even though it's just hitting morning.

" Sure. Just as we have promised you. You can leave whenever you want. Just one second." The man in black alien suit says as he reaches into his pocket wanting to bring something out.

Watching him slowly bring his hand out, my eyes widen as he brings out a gun shooting the old man to the floor. Although he had killed someone, the rest people around me don't seem shocked at all. What exactly was going on?

" You signed a contract. Finish the tournament first." The man says before leaving.

After he leaves, I look down at my trembling hands unable to focus. The old man's body still remains on the floor while everyone passes it as if it is nothing. I didn't want to die.

"Is there a way I can protect myself in this tournament?" I ask looking at the screen in front of me as the Shop appears in front of me again.

Healing packs: 10,000 Coins.

[Task Completed]

Level: 2/100

Reward: Healing packs×2, Gold ×5

[ As you level up, you will receive more rewards and more weapons in the shop will be locked for your use. Everyday you will receive a task to be completed. Your weapons and machinery that will help you survive have to be equiped before you head into battle. Failure to do so will result you in you having no weapon. Good luck solider!]

Watching the message disappear from in front of me, I quickly look around the options in front of me as the others get ready. Just as the rules indicate, we are not allowed to bring any weapon at all with us. This makes me very skeptical about the message I had seen before. Nevertheless, I quickly select the weapons I want before I leave along with the rest soliders.

Putting a blindfold over our eyes, we get sent to a place we don't even know of. After riding in the car for so long, we get forced to come down from the vehicle.

" Hold on properly to the men helping you. We will be flying on a helicopter now." A voice says ringing in my ear.

Not only are we blindfolded but our hands are also tied. The options displayed in front of me still remain the same. While the flight is going on, I decide to check the tasks I have.

" Still loading?" I ask myself as I look at the option.

" We are here. Everyone come down." A man says as they help us down to the ground.

The freezing cold weather makes me shutter immediately we land. They had not given us proper clothing. Finally, they release our hands and allow us to removed the blindfold. Looking around me, I realize that we are on some sort of mountain. Thick snow had already covered the ground and trees.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, you are the best soldiers of your field and you have come for the prize money. This place is a field located somewhere. The weapons you want are also around this place. You have exactly 3600 seconds. Not one second more. Currently, there are 50 people. Only 25 people will survive at the end of the timer. If there is more than the intended number, we will have to choose randomly. That won't be good." The man says with a sick smile on his face making me clench my hand.

After they leave, a countdown suddenly appears hanging on one of the trees making everyone tense up. It was obvious they had no idea on what was coming next. I didn't too. Bags start dropping to the ground making me look up while people start running towards the bags. While they are running, I stand trying to access the weapons I had equiped earlier.

The sound of the first gunshot stops me immediately. Looking back, I see someone fall to the ground dead immediately. This starts a bloodbath. In the midst of the chaos and bloodbath, my only mission is to get to the gun. Calming myself, I quickly try to access my guns. Running to get the real ones that had been thrown on the ground would be a hassle. I might not get to the bags before they shoot me.

" Wow." I say as I watch the gun I picked appear in my hand.

Unfortunately I have limited amount of bullets. I had forgotten to buy bullets before. Instead of killing anyone as the others are doing, I just hold the gun as I try to run to safety. In a situation like this, hiding was the safest thing to do. Running down the mountain, I try to find a way out. There must be a way out.

"Where do you think you are going? Trying to escape?" I hear a man say from behind me making me stop.

I knew he was definitely armed. Raising my hand up, I stand still as he approaches me. I didn't have a shield or anything to protect me. Hearing him walk towards me, I try to remain calm. Once he is near me, I kick his shin making him bend. Once he is flustered, I quickly reach for his gun twisting it out of his hand while he is off guard.

"i don't want to kill anyone. We don't have to kill anyone. Instead, we should find a way out. There must be a way out." I say trying to convince him.

As long as we worked together, I was sure there was a way out. Surely, we were more skilled than the people holding us hostage. Watching him nod his head in agreement, I do the same finalizing our deal as I walk away. Even though I had agreed to let him work with me, I was no fool. I had not returned his gun back to him. Successfully climbing down the mountain, we find ourselves in the middle of a forest. Forest looks surrounded with thick trees while the ground is frozen with ice.

" Do you actually think we can get out of here? I doubt they will allow us to be able to easily escape." The man says making me stop.

" What's your name, solider?" I ask looking at him.

" Captain Hank Larry." He says loudly before looking at me.

From his gaze, I can already tell what what was going on in his mind. He was wondering what rank I was. He was higher in rank than I was.

"Doesn't matter what rank you are. As long as we get out of here alive. Don't give up hope." I say as we continue to move inside the forest.

Moving across the forest, we finally come across a small stream moving down the road. Looking at each other, our eyes widen at the same time because we are thinking the exact same thing. The water must be coming from the entrance of the forest. Maybe we'll be able to escape.

" Be careful. We don't know what is inside the water. Best not to step inside." I say as we cross through the stream.

Although the water looks clear and okay, I know better than to trust anything in this place. While we are walking, we both keep our eyes out for anything that might suprise us. Just then, Hank spots someone.

" Be careful!" Hank shouts as he runs towards me trying to help me.

Unfortunately he isn't able to do so before the grenade explodes making me fall down. Although it has exploded, I groan in pain instead of dying on the spot as I am supposed to do. Looking down at my shirt, I realize I am injured. A screen suddenly pops up showing me my HP.

HP: 40%

[ Your injury is very severe requires special attention. Please buy a healing pack immediately]

Groaning in pain, I lift my hand up trying to head to the Shop. My leg once again had been blown away and my stomach doesn't stop bleeding making me groan.

Healing pack: 10,000 Coins

Although the price seems too much since my remaining balance is 10,000, I don't care about it as I am about to die. I could always gain more money later. After buying it, I immediately use it thinking I would regain my full HP but I am wrong.

HP: 60%

My leg comes back but my stomach doesn't stop bleeding. Looking at the corner of the options, I spot a notification making me open it. I had a new task.

Task: Kill 2 people.
