《The Blessed》 Everything is Normal... Except...~ (Tokyo, Japan) 5:30 pm At this time the Streets of Japan are really busy and crowded, you can see some people just having fun some are just walking around or just passing by and some are shopping and buying items for their family, friends, or just for themself. In the center of all the crowd you can see a man is walking lazily along the street, he wears a grey jacket and a plain black shirt underneath it, and blue jeans with black snickers to pair on it, you can see that he has a gloomy, tiredness and a bit of irritated expression on his face, probably he is not happy of what happened to him not so long ago. His name is Ray Williams, 21 years old, his height is around 185 cm, and when it comes to his face/looks he has a Korean like black eyes but he has a high pointy nose, a slender face, he has fair skin, black hair, and natural cherry lips, you could say that he is a good looking young man, even though he wears a gloomy face right now, it only makes him look like a cold, edgy and serious type of protagonist that you usually see in a manga. He works as a Butler in a nearby 5-star hotel, he just got off from his work, he usually got to leave early since his work is 7:00 - 4:00, but because something happens in his work, he needs to get off late. "Damn that fatso! That gay piece of sh*t if it''s not for the fact that he is a VIP there I would''ve...." Some people heard him and look at him with a bit of startled face with his sudden outburst. He got embarrassed a bit because his emotion got ahead of him, he started to walk fast so he wouldn''t get so much attention, he hates being in the spotlight but he wouldn''t mind if it''s really necessary but in this situation, it will just get awkward if he stays there for any longer. ''ugh... why is this day so tiring *sigh*.... first I almost got late in this morning coz my alarm didn''t ring for whatever reason it is, so i have to run just to go there coz taking a train will just take much more time to get there cause it''s really not that far from my apartment, sometime i just wake up early so i can just walk it to there, and after I get there who would have thought that f*cking fatso pay so much money just to take me AGAIN as his personal Butler for my whole shift and still requesting an extend after it ,F*ck,Fu*k,F*ck, I wouldn''t mind if it''s a beautifull sexy lady that will take me in their room and try to latch on me saying "I will take care of you if you just say ''yes!''." and do this and that even though it''s wrong I will take the risk, but... if it''s with that guy, oh my gawd even now I''m shaking just by thinking about it, it even take all my mentality strength just to stay sane in that moment and keep my brain working just to find another passable excuse for me to dodge his every action and reject his every wish or offer to me, I only did what a normal Butler will do, and it''s godamn stressful to do it all the time, next time I will not fall again for my boss saying he will double my pay just to make me say yes to escort him for my whole shift.... frick this day man just thinking about it all makes my head hurt so much, and I just realized this but who the hell am I explaining this to?'' Thinking about it he just laughs at himself acting like an idiot, and suddenly he heard his stomach growling already. "ugh... it must be because I''m hungry already that I''m starting to think about some weird stuff, I''m already hungry I should just eat outside today, I hope there''s a good restaurant nearby." Suddenly he saw a restaurant that has many people eating there and the colorful decoration they have is quite alluring. "mmmm...is that the new restaurant that my coworkers used to talk about I thought it was always full and there''s always a line of people waiting outside." The restaurant has many people, but it''s not full, there''s still some table that hasn''t occupied yet. "guess I still have some luck today huh?" He enters the restaurant, orders some food, finds a vacant table, waits for his food to be served, and after five minutes it''s served, then he proceeds to eat the food he orders. "mmmm....nom* nom*nom* ..it''s good, it''s well cooked." While enjoying his food he suddenly remembers his phone, he always turns it off when he is at work and opens it whenever his shift end, but today is just so stressful that he forgot about it. ting* The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.ting* ting* ting* ting* .... Suddenly when he turns on his phone a sudden burst of notification greets him. "mmmm? ... why are there so many notifications about my friends today like they keep spamming like there''s no tomorrow gosh." When he sees the notification some of it are all videos and some are exaggerated reactions like "OMG", "OH NO!!!!" and many more, and the rest are all emojis, then he clicks on one of the videos to watch it, cause almost all the video he sees are the same from the thumbnail, they just keep spamming it again and again until now. "Mmmm ..... New York?....that''s the statue of liberty right....looks like it''s taken by some tourist....now what is so interesting about this video?" He started watching the first video that is sent to him by his friend, and after a minute it looks like the cameraman started to notice something and zoomed in the video to the upper part of the liberty. "What is that?.... is that some electrical surge or some sparks?... no that''s impossible it''s in mid-air there''s no wire in there or anything." Suddenly the sparks in the sky get aggressive it looks like it''s expanding in a circular motion. " How is this happening? it''s not like its fireworks or anything cause it keeps going on and on like there''s no end, and the way it moves is peculiar like it''s forming some circle, and instead it dies down as time goes by it keep getting stronger and bigger" Suddenly the circle is much getting bigger and bigger at a faster rate and the people in the video are staring there with awe cause some of them thought it was some new type of fireworks and some are thinking that someone is filming a new movie there. "I''m getting more like.... a doctor strange vibe here...coz it looks like it''s forming a portal ....." *Vwuuuuuuuuu!!!!!* Suddenly a strange yet creepy noise can be heard in the video, it''s so loud and sudden that the people in the video get shocked and scared by this cause they don''t know where is this coming from, it''s like it''s coming in all directions, even the man holding the camera almost drop the camera but manage to grab onto it. " ugh! ....God!.....wtf was that! " (AN: Rip earphone users!) It keeps going on for like a minute until it died down...Suddenly in the middle of the circle appear a black space and expand till it occupies all the space inside the circle. " right, the only missing ingredients so it can already be called a ''portal'' now, and here I thought some giant lion would jump cross into it.... oh something''s happening..." After a minute something is appearing from the portal although it is far you can still see it cause the portal is massive. He is so excited about what is going to appear in there he can see the tip already of whatever is going to appear in there...Suddenly... "customer? will you still be ordering something?" "Ah...Sorry no, no, no I''m not ordering anymore I''m just too focused on watching this video I forgot about the time, I''m sorry I will leave now... and thank you, your food here was great I truly enjoy it." "no worries, and thank you for your appreciation we are truly glad you like it and please come again." He bows in appreciation and proceeds to leave and after he got out of the restaurant he thought for a sec. ''too bad I didn''t see that part *sigh* meh I''ll just watch it after I got home.'' Then he looks through the sky and sees that it''s almost dark and when he looks at his watch he sees that it''s already 7:00 pm. ''wow I truly did take my time huh? ..... wait why I have a feeling that I forgot something?'' "OH SH*T I forgot that the ******** anime will be showing tonight omg." (browse to the phone) .."YES! I still have time, if I run from here I can still make it." Not caring about having appendicitis he was readying to run and leave that place full of dust but something caught his attention. He sees the people around looking at the sky. "wtf was that?" When he follows their gazes he saw that the sky in the far west has a different color, cause it''s already night time so it is supposed to be all dark already but the sky there is color blue not like a blue like a sky but blue like there''s some wavy feeling into it like there some electricity crawling into it and the weirdest thing here is, it keeps getting bigger like it''s coming to them, and when it is close enough he see that''s it''s not only in the sky but it covers the whole from the land to sky, it''s like a big tsunami that you usually see in a sci-fi movie but it''s not water but like a force field that has electricity in it and it pass-through structures, when he sees that the building it passes through is unharmed he sighs in relief, but when he saw the bunch of people running to their direction that keeps falling when that thing pass through them, then he gets alarmed. (AN: your familiar in PUBG right? yes yes that''s it, it''s like the "radiation zone" the blue like a force field that keeps getting smaller and smaller and when it gets to pass through you your hp will decrease continuously, yes it''s like that.) "Oh sh*t!" Getting into realization he started to run in the opposite direction as fast as possible and keep looking back and saw that ''thing'' is keeping up with them. ''Is this it? is this the time where I will die? it''s so sad that I haven''t got to do everything I want in my life... *sigh* well it''s a good thing I''m not dying as a virgin at least and manage to have a one night stand with a beautiful, famous and sexy supermodel, it''s that time when she check-in in our hotel and got drunk in the bar, well lucky for her that she has me as his Butler that she manages to have a good "NIGHT" sleep, hahaha what am I even thinking in my last moment I''m such a...'' Looking back, he saw that it''s already close to him, as he was already feeling tired he just stand there and stop running and watch it continuously getting closer to him, and before it pass through him he just closes his eyes, and suddenly he feels like he got electrocuted hard and because of the shock he just falls there and manages to mutter a single word before losing his consciousness. "aw... it hurts!." Where it all starts.~ ..... (New York City) 2:00pm In some random park you can see a boy sitting on the bench while tapping on his smartphone, from his looks you can say that he was at least 14 years old, his name is Marc, he has a brown hair and brown eyes, he wears a hoodie, a blue short with a pair of black rubber shoes, while carrying a paper bag full of different kind of snacks inside. "hehehehehe good thing I manage to make him agree on letting me play on his new game console just by giving him a bunch of snacks" Suddenly while laughing like a villain that already conquer the earth he heard a notification from his phone. *ting* [ Justin: you can come here now, my mother is gone already, and be sure to bring those snacks that I ask you, and also I hate cheese flavored.] tap* tap* tap* [ Marc: okay, I''m on my way wait for me :) ] ''tch damn but some of it is cheese flavored '' "meh, I''ll just buy on the 7-11 nearby, good thing that mom gives me already my allowance yesterday or else I''m f*ck, I''ll just tell Mom that I lose the money she gave me and ask for another, don''t know if she will believe that though, but I know she will still give it to me in the end cause there''s no way I''m walking from my home to school" ..... Buying the right snacks he proceeds to go to his friend''s house by taking a bus. "mmm?" While waiting for the next bus to arrive at the bus stop, many siren''s of the police can be heard from his position and going north. While wondering what might be happening there for so many police going outside with those sirens on, he heard a middle-aged man talking to another middle-aged man on his side, while waiting also for the bus. "At this time, In the streets of New York, you can rarely see some police cars doings some patrolling outside, especially after the lunch break, they will become lazy bastards who will just sit at some random fast food and take their time laughing at each other face, you will only see that many of them outside if some big incident happened or someone or something causing havoc or chaos somewhere in the city." "and how did you know that?" said the other man. " oh, because I was one of them not so long ago, hahaha" "why? you still look young though?" The other man said, wondering about, why did he retire at such an early age. The man stopped laughing and look at the other man with a plain face and pull his shirt upward to show his stomach. The other man was shocked to see such a long cut from his chest to the lower part of his stomach, and it looks like it just got healed not so long ago. " Here''s how. Some of my organs almost stop functioning and barely saved by the godly doctor that does my operation.... you ask how did this happen? well, let''s just say I got unlucky and got this while I''m on duty. "oh, I''m sorry." "Don''t be, well it''s a good thing cause now I have all the time in the world to just laze around and watch my daughter grow up, and also, kick the ass of the boys who will try to get close to them, hahaha." *sigh* Marc is just listening to them talking to each other, suddenly something caught his attention and look at the sky.If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. "What is that" This caught the attention of the two middle-aged men sitting at his side and look to where the boy is looking. " What is that, fireworks?" " I can''t see it clearly it''s too far for me I don''t have my glasses, but yeah it looks like a firework," "Yeah, maybe a new type of fireworks cause it''s not moving it''s just there in the sky, how wier..." "vwuuuuuuuuuuuuum!!!!!!!" Suddenly they heard something that startled them cause they don''t know where it is coming from, they try to look around while covering their ears to see where this is coming from but to their expectation, they found nothing. After a minute the weird sound stopped, once it stops they look at the sky and see that the thing they thought was a "fireworks" is now nowhere close to be fireworks. "it''s like a portal" Marc says while looking at it. "a portal? is it like the thing that you see in an alien movie or something?" The man on his side ask. "yeah it''s like that, it looks like the one I usually see in some games I play." Marc answered. " A portal? there is no such thing as that, what I care about is where the hell did that weird sound come from! goddammit, my eardrum hurt so much!" While trying to think of what is even going on suddenly they see that in the middle of the thing they called "portal", something is coming out from it. "Look something is coming out of the portal" Marc shouted in shock. " What the hell was that!?" The other man on his side shouted while not believing in what''s going on. "Jesus Christ!" The only word of the other man can say while having a shock expression on his face and completely forgetting about his aching eardrum. After another minute it completely got out of the portal and all the people who are seeing this have the same expression on their faces, Shocked. Shocked by what they are seeing, they don''t even know how to describe the thing that is floating from the sky, they just stand there and look at it waiting for something to happen. It is shaped like a diamond, and it''s all black but it has a glowing green like aura and it''s like it has a glowing ancient rune carved all over it, it is cut in 4 pieces in a cross pattern and it has a glowing green orb in the middle of it. (AN: ugh... I''ll just leave it all in your imagination.) "What in the world is that?" "is that an alien spaceship? have they finally come to attack us?!" "Oh my God!!" "Where is the army?!" ..... You can hear a lot of different outbursts from different people around while staring into it and some are already freaking out. *zzzzhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!* (AN: imagine it like Iron Man charging his beam.) Suddenly the orb in the middle started to glow intensively and it looks like its sucking some blue particles into it, and the light it produces is starting to grow so strong that it started to look like a mini green sun, they can''t even look into it anymore. *PWZUUUUUU!!!* (AN: I think it''s not good to describe it as "BOOOM!!!" cause it will just sound like an explosion so just take it as, Iron man releasing his Light beam but imagine it having an electricity sound into it... yeah it''s like that, or whatever sound that will come to your mind from reading the description.) All the people nearby look into it and see that it release some kind of blue barrier that has some electricity into it but it keeps getting bigger and bigger and expanding wider and wider at a faster rate. All the people who saw this started to run in all different opposite directions, but the field keep expanding at a much faster rate until it passes through all the people, all the people it passes through just get knocked down unconscious. But on the other side, Marc and the other two middle-aged men just keep staring there at the whole time with full of shock expression on their faces, and when they see that the field is already closing to them they didn''t even run knowing that it''s already useless to do and it will just tire them out, they just stare at it as it keeps closing and do nothing. But the man beside marc suddenly moves and tries to cover him to get in the way of the field to try and protect him, even if he doesn''t know if that''s going to work he still does it, and thought to himself. '' even if I cannot be there and protect my daughter, I can at least try to protect this kid, at least the last thing I did in my life is protecting someone''s life which is a pretty good way to die actually'' They just closed their eyes and wait for what is supposed to happen. When the field passes through them they feel like their whole body got electrocuted by something and after that everything went dark. .... The field keeps getting bigger and bigger and keeps spreading throughout the planet it''s like an unstoppable wave that cannot be stopped, it didn''t take long until it manages to cover the entire planet with a blue force field, only just then it stopped. ..... (unknown) In some unknown space, you can see a beautiful lady sitting in a chair wearing a long and colorful dress while sipping on her tea in a very peaceful manner. *Ting!* Suddenly a bell chime can be heard echoing throughout the space, hearing this a gentle smile can be seen appearing in her cherry-like lips while placing down the tea of cup she was holding and slowly standing up, she snaps her finger and all the things near her suddenly vanish while staring at the deep black void in front of her. "Looks like it''s finished, now let''s start it already, shall we." Oh my Goddess.....Literally..~ (Unknown) !!!! "Ugh... huh.....what happened? mmm, where am I?" Slowly standing and still dizzy after waking up and somewhat confused about what''s going on, Ray found himself in the middle of unknown space alone. ''It looks like I''m in the middle of space, but, (Inhale.... Exhale), It seems I don''t have any problem in breathing, and wasn''t I supposed to be floating in here, but I seem to be standing on some floor,( tud* tud*) but I can''t see it, but I can walk on it, mmmm..... what is going on here? And how did I end in this place?.'' "You are here because you are one of the chosen to be blessed by the gods" While wondering what is happening and thinking of how to get out of this place he suddenly heard the voice of a woman that seems to echo throughout the space. !!! "Holy cow!.... Please don''t do that will you?.... you will give me a heart attack for God''s sake, and where did you even come from, I didn''t see you when I look around here." "I apologize if I startled you mortal, I didn''t know you have such a weak heart, and I am here from the very start you came in this space of mine, I just didn''t reveal myself." '' Mortal? Space of mine? From the way she speaks is she a goddess or something?.... Oh yeah, come to think of it, from his appearance you can already say that she is not normal, and she may be the most beautiful woman I''ve ever seen in my entire life, she definitely surpassed any top model I''ve seen on magazine''s.'' "well, I''m quite flattered about that, at least you act quite different from the others and didn''t prostrate or shake in fear and piss yourself in front of me. And yes I am a goddess, The god of space in this realm." "Oh wow ..... uuhh so you can read my mind huh? hehe well, this is awkward..... So I..... apologize for my behavior lately I know I act quite rude earlier so umm I apologize for that, I didn''t know you are...uhmm a Go..." "it''s fine, I understand the type of behavior the mortals of your planet has no harm done, but just in case you meet gods and goddesses other than me, be respectful from the very start cause some of them look down on lower being like you and do not like to be disrespect, even us show respect to the gods and goddesses that have a much higher ranking than us, so keep that in mind." ''ohh so there''s a lot of gods huh? wait she said "on this realm" so there''s a lot of realms, and this is one of it? wow so much information coming in hot, it makes my head aches a bit.'' "uh I will keep that in mind, thank you very much umm...go- goddess -sama, uhh can I ask you a question Godde....." "Emilia, Call me Emilia, I don''t like being called "Goddes" all the time by the people in front of me it makes me so uncomfortable." "Umm ok Emilia-sama, uh can I ask you a question?" "Go ahead" "ok um first question Emilia-sama, you said earlier that I''m one of the chosen to be blessed by the gods, so I''m not alone? and if yes where are they? The second question is, what is exactly the meaning of being ''to bless by the gods'', what is that and why would I need it? where or what would I use it for? The third is, can you explain what is happening in this whole scenario, especially that thing back on Earth before I passed out, that Sonic wave thing that passes through me, it hurts like hell, fourth, can I still get back home after this and not getting sent to some battlefield as one of the pawns of the gods and goddesses that blessed us? cause I''m pretty sure that I will not get that blessing for free. that''s all thank you for listening." "mmm that''s a smart question you got there, not all the people I encountered ask me that but your not the only person who asks me that type of question, but I can answer all of that. First, Yes your not the only one, actually there is so many of you that I have to separate and multiply my consciousness in millions just to entertain you all at the same time, they are in a separated space room I created for them and in the same situation like you. And let me answer your third question first before your second question so I can explain it clearly. The phenomena that happen to earth is part of all this, I send one of my artifacts In earth, the "Decay Tome" it''s job is to scan the whole earth and take the job as the vessel of the "System" itself, the System is the one who will modify the body of the whole humanity on Earth and make them all stronger than they were supposed to, that''s why it hurts when it passes through you, cause it will modify and change your whole body and make it stronger, but don''t misunderstand you will not look like some alien species or something, you can just say that all the people in your planet is given by some boost or upgrade, why? so you all can have the classifications and right to become "the player" the warriors of your planet, the one who will defend it, from what? you will know. But why right? Gods and goddess called it as a "Test" it''s a test for every planet and the one who reside in it, yes it''s not just earth it also happen in a lot of planet in different realms, it happen when a planet is already reach the level where it can already be an independent planet, the gods will prepare to bring the "Test" to that certain planet to know if it has really the capability of being a independent already, and once it pass through the test the right of that planet will be awarded by the goddesses them self, being an independent planet means that, any gods and goddesses or any other higher beings will not be given any right to touch, control, or do anything on that particular planet, cause any gods can literally make any planet explode in just a snap of their fingers and yours is not an exemption to that, so earth is really lucky to finally have the chance to have the right to it so don''t waste this chance because once you fail it, there won''t be next time cause fail means, complete annihilation of the entire planet Earth and the people in it."This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. *gulp* ''Oh sh*t, this is a lot to take in'' "But don''t worry little one this is where you and the others will take in, you see whenever a planet will undergo for a test, many gods and goddesses who favored on it is making sure that the people in it will not fail and go extinct, they will pick a lot people in that planet and choose them as their own personal champion, but sometimes some unlucky planet doesn''t hold any favor towards the Gods and really have a hard time going trough the test, so Earth is really lucky cause so many gods and specially the Goddesses favor earth so much for some reasons, Let me give you an example, in a word you can easily understand, for example, there is a team of gladiator who will fight against a bunch of monster bare handed, and there is this one program that if a certain gladiator gets in, they will get an instant boost up, like at the start they will be equipped with a sword, knife, bow, cannon, gun or any type of useful items that will give them an advantage than others and you have a ticket to send your favored gladiator on that program, will you use it?" "So I''m one of the lucky guys who got the ticket huh,?" "Yes and many other mortals called the chosen ones "The Blessed" (A/N: roll credits) " ''ok so that''s how it is, wait if there are millions of us that mean there''s a million of ..... wow we are favored huh?'' "But don''t get this into your ego cause every test is different in every planet, especially on your planet since you are living in a technological advance type of planet so always stay vigilant cause it''s not easy, remember that it never has." "Yes thank you, Emilia -sama I will always remember that!" "Good, now does my answer to your question satisfy you already?" "oh.. yes thank you for your time explaining everything to me Emilia sama." "it''s fine, I will tell this to you anyway even if you didn''t ask, so with that let''s start already shall we? "ok" "First let me start by explaining what is a blessing? the phrase ''blessed by the gods and goddesses'' doesn''t mean that you are literally being blessed by them for example, me, I am the goddess of space doesn''t mean that you will get a power of space or something just because I pick you as my champion, No, it only meant that I or the God or goddesses who choose you, permit you to partake in this event to be "blessed", so do you understand?" "yes" " ok so it''s not that complicated about what type of blessing you will have from a different type of gods or goddess, may it be weapon, power, artifact or anything that will help you to be stronger." Suddenly the Goddess wave her hands and a giant roulette with a lot of colors in it appears in the direction she was waving her hands at. "This is how we determine what blessing you will get, told you it''s not that complicated, just spin it with all your strength and whatever it pointed to that''s what you gonna get but remember that every blessing in this roulette is unique, you will not get the same as the one on the other side, once you get it, it will be yours and will not appear here unless you die, so it''s all unique some of them might be identical but it''s all different, but first let me tell you how this roulette work and the colors in it, first, you see every color has a designated grade of blessing in it, so the better color grade the better blessing it has, this is the grade of every color in it, look." Suddenly a holographic screen appears in mid-air and displays some text in it. **** Gold - S Grade Red -A Grade Orange -B Grade Yellow -C Grade Green -D Grade Blue-E Grade Violet - F Grade ***** " so after you get your designated color, you will see 5 chests will appear at the bottom of the middle part of the Roulette, select one of it and that''s what you will get, now step forward and go to the side of the roulette and pull it as much as you can." " wow it''s so big I wonder if I can make it move at least?" " don''t worry about its size, even though it''s that big it''s weightless so pull it as much as you can." " o-ok .... well here goes nothing." "Haaaaaaa!" Grabbing the handle and pulling it down as much as he can it suddenly spin faster and faster. *Triiiiiiiiiing! It continues to spin for about a minute...until suddenly..... *Shiiiiiiiing! "What!?"~(Goddess) The whole roulette started to shine so brightly even the goddess himself can''t look at it, but they can hear that the roulette is starting to slow down. *Tiiiing! *Tiiing! *Tiing! *Ting! *Click! *Ting!Ting!Ting!Ting!Ting!Ting! Suddenly the blinding light vanishes at the moment the roulette stop, slowly opening their eyes to see what color it stopped to, the moment the goddess sees the color it stopped, she was shocked. "umm, Emilia-sama what color is that? it looks like it is mixed like.... a rainbow? is that also a part of the roulette?" "I don''t know"~(goddess) "huh?" *Thud!* Suddenly a Platinum colored chest appeared at the bottom of the roulette. Ray is still confused about what is going on he slowly walks to the chest and checks the chest. ''its beautiful, like it is made by some kind of glass, mah~ Idk anymore.'' "Uhm Emilia-sama ....should I open the chest?" The Goddes who is still in her deep thought suddenly awaken by the sudden question. "Oh yeah, I''m sorry if I space out, yeah go ahead let''s see what did you get." "o-ok" Putting his hands on the chest, feeling its smoothness, he slowly opens it and sees what''s inside, he slowly reaches what''s inside and brought it out. "come on tell me what did you got?" ~(goddess) "Umm a piece of paper?..." "What!?...."~(goddess) "Ah..! Something''s written in the back of it, it''s kinda small though." "What did it say?, Read it hurry."~(goddess) "O-Okay...Umm....." "F-Free.....Ten... Spin.?....huh?" "WHAT!?" ~(goddess) ..... Blessings are truly a Blessing...... ~ ... "What!?" ~ goddess "What!?-why?..... what did I do?" Ray got startled by the goddess sudden outburst. "how is that-.....ah!....now I remember....it''s so long that I almost forgot that there''s such thing.." '' ....fufufu, so it''s him huh, mmm.'' thought by the goddess by looking at Ray with a teasing smile. "umm, Emilia-sama is there something wrong about the blessing" " ahem, I''m sorry if I spaced out a little bit, no no there''s no problem about it" '' there''s no problem my butt, you''re just freaking out a moment ago and now your- sigh* whatever.'' "now give me that piece of paper you got." "umm here" "you are really lucky you know that? getting a blessing during the "test" is considered lucky already, but getting 10 different blessings at the same time, just imagine that." "Yeah, I can totally imagine that maybe it''s because of me always being such an unfortunate person during these past days, maybe luck finally decided to kick me in the face, heh." "ok so with that let start it again shall we?" "yes" " ok, so spin the first ten first before we go on checking of what did you got ok? ...so let''s start already, you know the drill." "ok" Ray started to walk beside the roulette and do the same as he did for the first time he spins it. After he finishes spinning it for ten consecutive times he looks at the virtual screen that appeared above the roulette, it shows all the grade of the blessing he got.. <:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Gold - x1 Red - x2 Orange - x3 Yellow - x3 Blue - x1 <:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> '' Nice! at least I got a gold and a bunch of high-grade blessing, hu! looks like lady luck is really on my side today huh...'' " you got a gold and a lot of high-grade blessing, you are really one lucky mortal" " well, I can''t deny that I guess." !!! "mmm? ...looks like the others are finished,..... now let''s speed things up already, just touch the chest you choose according to the number of blessing you got in every grade and I will do the job of fussing it to you so you don''t need to take it one by one, I''ll just show it up on-screen on what blessing did you got, so lets a start-up in Gold grade blessing."Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation. She waves her hands and five shining gold chests appeared at the bottom of the roulette. "choose one of the five" Ray didn''t think that much because they all look the same and choose the chest in the middle, and suddenly it vanishes with a flash of golden light. "ok so let''s move on to the next grade." Ray choose the first and the last chest for the red grade, for the orange he chooses the first, middle and the last, same for what he chooses in yellow grade, and for the blue grade, he choose the middle, he wants to pick any random chest at first but decide to choose a chest in pattern thinking it might be good rather than choosing whatever chest he first see. " ok let me show you the blessings you got." *Bip! suddenly the text on the virtual screen changed. **** - Domain of authority (gold) - Mind invulnerability (red) - Fullbring (red) - NightBringer (orange) - Eyes of Perception (orange) - Herculean''s Trait (orange) - Thought Acceleration (yellow) - Ring of Rug''ma (yellow) - Enhanced Vision (yellow) - Mark of Dune (blue) **** "ok..the other sound badass but...Emilia-sama can you tell me what can they all do?" "Unfortunately we don''t have much time for the explanation, the others are already finished and you''re the only one left and I can''t send them back until your finished, and I''m afraid that it is already late, that if I let you all stay here for a little longer, something bad might happen, but don''t worry the system will explain it to you once you get back." "umm ok..but wait... who is the system?" "fufu, you will know it in no time, but for now let me tell you the important things you need to know and the rest you can just ask the system for it, first your blessings are already fused into you, I already do that, but it''s not activated yet you need to do that yourself using the system, second you will be back on the position where you left off and after that, you''re on your own, and just like others I will also give you my blessing." The goddess walks towards Ray and puts her hand on his head and Ray started to glow like he is producing light over his body. ''i feel warm....like someone is hugging my whole body'' And when the goddess removes her hand on his head the glowing effect on his body died down and Ray opens her eyes. "You received my blessing, that means I am also rooting for your planet, you and the others are my chosen warriors, use the blessings you got for your planet''s survival, I got my hopes up for you all, so don''t let me down "Blessed One" ." "I won''t let you down Emilia-sama I''ll make sure that hope you put on us will not go to waste." "Well, I''ll be expecting that... And with that, you are ready to go, Are you ready?" *Inhale*Exhale* "I''m ready, let''s do this." Ray said with a resolute expression. "fufufu ok then. good luck there young one." The goddess said while she waves her hands to Ray, and suddenly a circle of light appears below Ray. "Thank you for everything Emilia-sama!" Ray said while bowing to the goddess. "Yeah and I hope we''ll meet again." Said by the goddess while smiling on to him. "I will, once I am strong enough I will see you again Emilia-sama." "fufufu then I will wait for that to happen, but until then, good-bye Ray Williams," Said the goddess readying to snap him away. "Goodbye Goddess Emilia," said Ray while smiling onto him And with that, The goddess snap her finger and the light below Ray starting to move upwards and engulf him with light but before that happens he heard the goddess say something to him in a quicky manner. "Oh right here''s a tip, Once you wake up, don''t stand up quickly!" "huh? what do you mea-...." Suddenly he was covered by light and quickly disappear in the space leaving only particles of light on where he previously stood. ..... "fufufu, so that''s him huh, didn''t expect one to appear after such a long time, well that''s given already because their existence is really rare, I think they only appear every hundred millions of years, *sigh* come to think of it their existence is really like a cheat, they upset the balance of the test itself, they are the most unfair of them all, they all get really spoiled just because they are loved by the system itself, but even all that they are entertaining to watch, now ill see you over from here, let''s see how you will entertain me "The Blessed" one. ..... Keep calm.......and be calm ~ (Tokyo, Japan) 4:45 pm *beep ~ .... *beep ~ .... *beep~ ..... In a room of a certain hospital in japan, you can see a nurse checking the vitals of a certain patient that has been unconscious for about a month now. "Oh right, Its already been a month now since that tragedy happens... and you are still not waking up right now" said by the nurse while staring closely at the face of the patient. "hmm, the other nurses where right, you do have a handsome face, ..... and yet you are wasting it all by sleeping around here all day," said the nurse while poking his face lightly " wow, I do like your lips Mr., gosh look at that lips, its already a month and it''s still moist and fresh not dry like the other unconscious patients here, *sigh* I do envy you, aahh I wish I have the same natural lips like that ." while the nurse is happily looking the patient''s face suddenly. "uuh...uuh" "Huh....." "aah..." Suddenly his eyes open widely and immediately try to get up but, *Bsing!* "agk! my head! agh it hurts!." his head collided on the metal bar that is above on his head. The nurse immediately check on him. "oh my gosh, sir are you ok!?.... don''t try to stand up so quickly you just woke up, ...stay here for a moment while ill go call the doctor ok?" "o-ok!" said the man while holding his aching head. "ok ill be back!" The nurse immediately runs outside the room to call the doctor. The man started to get up while still holding his aching head and pushing away the metal that is used for holding food. "Ugh! so that''s what she means huh?..... what is even that thing doing above my head in the first place, and what am I doing in a hospital? aren''t I supposed to be in the middle of the cit-... *sigh* it''s too much for me, I just woke up dammit." 10 minutes later.... ~ "mmm, your breathing looks normal, and I already run some tests in your body before and you don''t seem to have any problem in your body, instead it became even much healthier than before, so the only thing that we haven''t test is your mental health, do your head ache even a little bit?" "uum, I just hit my head earlier that''s why it hurts a little bit, but now I don''t think so." "ok let me ask you some basic personal question just to test if you have any problems regarding your memories, are you fine with that?" "yeah I''m fine with that" "ok let''s start with..., can you tell me your name and age ?" "Ray Williams, 20 years old" "Where do you live now Mr.Williams?" "umm, in...I live here in Tokyo because I work here and I''m staying at the Kagurazaka Apartments near Shinjuku station" "Can you tell me your parent''s name and their nationality?" "sure, My mother''s name is Choi Sun Hee, she''s a Korean and my father''s Frederic Williams, he''s an American" "ok~.....Well I think that''s enough, I can already tell your whole mind is perfectly fine it''s just a test anyway and not an interview, let me just observe you for more couple of days and if everything is still fine we can let you go home already, for now, I''ll excuse myself first because more patients like you also needed my attention, so your nurse here will tend to your every need, and just say anything if you suddenly feel something in your body ok." said by the doctor while slowly standing up and gesturing to leave. "yes, thank you for everything doc." "No problem, now if you''ll excuse me." "yes" After the doctor leaves the room only ray and the nurse left behind the room.The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation. "You heard him, just say anything you need okay?" "Yeah sure, I appreciate it" "you''re welcome" "oh! can I ask you about something?" "mmm, yeah sure anything, what is it?" "uumm, ..... do you know something about what happen last night?" !!!! " HUH!? w-w-what are you t-talking about I didn''t touch you or do a-anything about your b-b-body last night!? "...." "w-w-What!?" ~stareeeeee~ "i-it was the other nurse''s idea you know!?.... I just accidentally feel it, t-that''s all" '' you accidentally feel what exactly?..... ugh I feel I''ve been violated by a bunch of women. '' " *sigh* I don''t know what are you talking about but what I''m asking here is that electromagnetic force thingy that electrocuted almost all the people in the streets last night, and come to think of it how are you and all the people I saw today we''re so fine like nothing happen at all, ...wait don''t tell me you didn''t know about that and I''m hallucinating and sh*t." " you mean the Electromagnetic pulse that is released in the entire planet and make all the people unconscious for the whole night? of course, I know that I mean who wouldn''t know? but it didn''t happen last night, it''s over a month already." "Wait, What!?" "yeah but you see, you are not the only person who had just awaken ever since that happens, many people all over the world are still unconscious for an unknown reason until now, but it is really strange cause the 10 same patients like you that are also confined here in our hospital waked up at the same time you regained your consciousness.....well I think it''s not that strange anymore with all this supernatural thing going on with everybody." "wow, so it''s been a month already huh? ..... *sigh* it feels like only hours have passed." "it''s fine, you''ve been asleep for a whole month without knowing anything, that''s just a normal reaction, that even happen to me sometimes, here at work it feels like I''m here for a whole day already and I just realized that only an hour has just past hehe." ''it only takes an hour of talk with Goddes Emilia but here it''s been a month already?'' "it''s a lot to take in, uum can you tell me everything about all the things that happened this month while I''m unconscious?." "mmm...Sure! I have nothing left to do anyway" She grabs a chair nearby and place it beside Ray and sit there. "ok so let''s start on what happens after that thing happened, ..." .... ~ after one hour ..... ".... wow it''s already an hour, huh, time does fly fast, oh well I guess that''s all I know about the events that have happened in this past month but if there''s more, well I''m sorry if I don''t know that yet, I don''t have that much time to know everything that is happening around, and hehe *giggle* everything I know comes from what I just heard from the news on television and gossips around so ~ it might not take long for you to also know all this you know, so you should relax ok and let the authorities handled that stuff on their side, you just woke up not many hours ago, you shouldn''t let this stress you out ok relax~..." said by the nurse seeing Ray are so into it and looks serious about this. " *sigh* yeah thank you for that, yeah maybe you''re right, I mean why should I care right? I just woke up earlier it''s not like I''m the one who is going to destroy that thing hehe, anyway thank you for telling me all that." " aw it''s nothing, anyway I guess we need to cut our little session here, for now, cause my shift hehe~ already ended a minute ago so... I have to go already or I might worry my mom and call me nonstop, hehe..." said the nurse slowly standing up and readying to leave. "Oh! yes...I''m sorry for the trouble and thank you for today I do appreciate it, so yeah see you tomorrow." "yeah bye~ see you tomorrow Mr.Williams and have a good night." "Yeah you too" ... After the nurse leaves the room, Ray left alone in the room. "Oh come to think of it I didn''t ask for her name... meh I''ll just ask it tomorrow," Ray said while trying to lay down on his bed. "Well judging from what did the nurse tell me, looks like all the forces of Western countries join force to bring down that thing but they cannot penetrate it''s defense and decided to just camp there and observe it, and also looks like they didn''t know about the blessings and the "Test" yet, but they know about the system and they believe that it comes from that thing, because like what the nurse told me they announced it on public tv that all the people have what they call also ''the system'' coincidence? Nah I think not considering all the weebs all around the planet even me I would call it ''system'' from all the isekai anime, manga, and novel I''ve seen, they just don''t know what it is for or it''s purpose, so what the government did is, they tell the people how to access the system, and what the nurse told me is that the system has three features, status/information, News, and shop, but for some reason, the News and shop is locked, only the status/information is available, the nurse show me her status so I can see what it looks like, there is this feature in the system where you can show your system in public or not, some chooses not to show it but some allow it whenever they want to show it to someone, that''s how the government told them to do, to be careful about showing to someone their system because they believe it is somewhat important, so what I see from the nurse''s status is similar to some isekai novel or manga I read, a virtual screen in the air appeared and display all the basic information about the subject.... well not all but ..... you already know about it, but I didn''t look into it that much because I know it''s rude to look, I just took a glance and that''s all I need to know about the basics of the systems, the nurse also tell me how to access the system, it''s really easy I just need to think about it appearing in front of me, I wonder who''s weeb discover this thing, but when I try it, it shows... [ failed to access ] [ Time remaining: 9: 14: 23 Before the host can access the system ] Oh well that''s a problem for tomorrow, but one thing is for sure, that the "Test" hasn''t started yet at least I got time to prepare for that, cause I''m pretty sure that they will not just give us pens and paper and give us some questions to answer, judging from the blessings I got I''m pretty sure also that it will not be a friendly game and talk about skills I have no idea about the skills I got but I''ll just check it tomorrow after the time finished maybe afte-..." ..... ... "... wait up, who the hell am I explaining this to .... aaaaaahhhh *sigh* maybe I should just sleep, I''m starting to worry about my mental health I wonder if my brain does get damaged by all the stuff going on." " sigh* I''ll just leave this to my tomorrow self, I''m done already, good night me," Ray said while slowly closing his eyes. Suddenly... *growl*~ " tch, right I haven''t eaten yet dammit." .... Sexy Feat.... I Mean System Features..(? ?? ?)?... ( Tokyo, Japan ) ******* Hospital ~ 10:45 ... In one of the rooms, you can see a man who has just awaked and slowly getting up. "huaaahh! *sigh* I overslept....its almost noon already.{groowwwwl}... what stomach-san? you''re already hungry?, is it that tiring to sleep?, well good thing that they haven''t take my breakfast yet, let''s eat first before we think of the things we should think, well.... itadakimasu.(tnx for the food)" After eating his "breakfast?", he slowly stands up and checks his whole body and does some stretching to see if there''s any problem. "wow .... for someone who sleeps for a whole month my body feels fine, it really like what the doctor said, my body didn''t get weakened during this past month instead it become much more strong and healthy...speaking of my body *sniff*, *sniff*, mmm I wonder if I can take a bath already, meh I''m sure it''s fine." .... "waah that was refreshing, it feels like I am reborn" After taking a bath Ray to sit back on the bed and start to do the things he needed to do.

[ The title ''The Blessed'' is a unique title that no other than the Host can have such title unless the Host dies, even if you died no one can claim such title only the system can decide, the ones who received the blessings from the Gods are called ''Chosens'', but they are called by many beings as ''the blessed ones'' just because they are receiving Blessings of the Gods, many years have passed even the gods decided to just call the ''Chosens'', ''The blessed ones'' after thousands of thousands of years have passed that even a single titleholder have yet to appear that even them almost forgot that such title is only given to a single being that is truly blessed and loved by the system itself, so don''t misunderstand such things Host.] '' oooh, so that''s the reason why are all these things are a bit messed up, I get it...wait is it me or does the system looks like angry?''

After the four-man in a suit came in the one in the middle that looks like the leader of the group and the only one who doesn''t wear sunglasses walk forward, grab a chair and sit beside Ray''s bed and spoke in a calm and friendly manner. "Hello Mr. Williams, my name is Alexander you can call me Alex if you want, and this is my agents, we are from the WSA, here''s my I''d please do check it I know your doubts. "o~k...'' World Security Association'' huh....*gives back the id*, so what does the WSA want from me?" (A/N: I just made that up ok? don''t know if such association does really exist or if their job is to do something like this, IDK I''m just too lazy to search it up so just stick to that one, I can''t think of a much better and sounds much cooler or badass name for an organization like M.I.B or something so I just write something so obvious, so don''t go into comments and say "Nye, Nye, Nye WSA will not do such thing it''s not their job to-" just shut up ok and read peacefully, ok that''s all.) " We came here only to ask you some questions regarding about your experiences ever since you''ve gone unconscious from .... ''the zap'' I guess that''s how the people call it now, yeah since that until now, we are collecting information for our investigations to help our association build a solid information about all the things that are happening and what was supposed to happen in our world, and we''re here to ask for your cooperation to help us with that Mr.Williams." "Oh, and what made you think that I can help you regarding about that? I guess you already know that I just waked up yesterday so and I know less much as you do." " let me tell you something first about what is our job Mr.Williams, we are the one who is tasked to investigate the supernatural phenomena that are happening around the people in our planet, for example, the thing that''s floating in the middle of a city in New York and also the system that appears in front of every people around the world and how does it affect all of us, and I would say that we are doing a great job so far I guess, we already know about the system and we also discovered on what does the zap thing do in the people around the world, we guess that everything that is happening so far is connected from the thing that is floating in the New York since it all started there, ..... wait take a look at this." When Ray takes the phone that Alex gives him, he started to watch the video in it, the video shows a topless man full of muscles and looks like a soldier, the man started to do some stretching for about a minute and slowly walk to the side of a nearby tank, he crouched and place his hands underneath the tank''s wheel and started to lift it over his head slowly and push it upward and turn the tank upside down. "Woah :o .... amazing, is this real?" " yeah it''s real, he is a soldier from Russia, the video was taken like a week ago, we also learn from that, that the zap thing makes every people in the world much stronger, it''s like it doubled the strength we have befo- no I mean the ''stats'', it doubled the stats we have before, I guess you have seen your system already?"

"Ok, so I suppose you have seen it all already? " "Oh yes, they are definitely much better than mine" " yeah, so you could say that half of the numbers you could see in my stats are my actual stats before the zap happens, and also doubling the stats of every people in the world is not the only thing it does, look at this old man." Alex shows a picture of a skinny old man. "As you can see he is not that healthy, he has a stage 5 cancer and also a diabetic and his right foot got cut off because of an infection he was assumed to die in this month already but that thing happen and when he wakes up, his foot got restored and all of his illness got cured, totally a godsend you can say it was beyond miracle, and of course it''s not only him, it also happens in many people around the world, they got cured, they become strong, many things happen this and that but, for what? that is our questions, for what? that is the things we''re trying to find out, and we''re pretty sure that it''s not for free right? many people say specially the religious ones that it was a godsend it was made by God, to protect us, to heal us, to....to bless us, but I don''t believe in those b*llshits, we are trying to make the world believe that there is a reason behind all of this, we still don''t know whether it''s good or bad but we believe that there is something and that something is what we are trying to prove, what we are trying to find, so-.." "Godsend?, made by God?, hahaha I mean they are not wrong but to protect us? no definitely not." " So have you decided to finally help us Mr.Williams?" "wait let me ask you something first, judging from what you are saying to me, I''m pretty sure that you already know what was going on right? and you only need me to talk just to confirm things I mean you have to be right? you haven''t even answered my question yet cause it''s pretty weird to assume that an unconscious person that has been sleeping for a whole month since this ''the zap'' thing happened has an experience of what was even going on, that''s pretty weird, right? now can you tell me again please on what is your lead or what made you think that an unconscious person who just waked up yesterday is the possible source of information on everything that is happening around the world or..... you''re just randomly thinking some things?" Suddenly a smile can be seen forming in Alex''s face like he was enjoying their conversation. " you are a very smart and clever person Mr.Williams I give you that, you''re not letting me have it unless you gain something from it right? you are a trader, not a giver haha I get it." "I mean I already know about all of this, whatever you are saying to me can be just seen on the news or internet, you are taking advantage on me cause I didn''t know anything since I just wake up yesterday, I wonder how many times you have said those speeches of yours already to others just to make them speak without giving any sensitive information but also making it look like you are saying something so crucial and top-secret, that''s also smart and very clever I give you that haha if you came here yesterday just after I woke up and said those things to me I might fall for that but not now, ..... mmm..... I know that you already ask so many people but there is something in it that you don''t understand or doesn''t make any sense-, no let me guess, base on what did you tell me, you also have an unconscious agents so I''m pretty sure that you can just ask them about all that happens but no there is something wrong about it they can''t lie to you or anything right, but what about it that doesn''t satisfy you that you need to ask so many people just to ask the same questions all over again and again if you know that they will all say the same answer right? *stare~* No, they didn''t say the same right? every time you ask someone they all answer differently and every time you ask someone you find something new, hahaha whatever I have my answers already."

The questioning last for an hour they ask every question they got and Ray answer it honestly and also Ray tell them everything he knows and what happen to him when he got unconscious but he didn''t tell them regarding about him being ''the blessed'' and what are the blessings he got since they might react to it, also he didn''t agree to them about showing his system for some obvious reasons but they didn''t pursue it and just let it be, after the questioning they just bid their goodbyes and appreciation for helping them and other stuff and proceed to leave. ..... "Haaaaa finally some breather, they are really greedy aren''t they geez~ anyway looks like the questioning makes me hungry cause it''s godamn stressful to explain things *sigh* and also, I forgot about the fourth feature that I''m planning to check on since I''m getting disturbed every time I''m trying to, it like it''s a work of nature dammit, anyway this time might be good enough yeah let''s do this real quick before I eat."

Ray said while fixing his position while pretending nothing happens. " o~k... yeah I am...

Slowly standing up from the floor, Ray moves slowly back to the bed and lazily slam his body down, he started to feel his body if some of his body is still aching but to his surprise, he found nothing but instead he feels great like the extreme hell that he has been through earlier hasn''t happened at all, he feels like his body is full of energy, like he can run for an hour and still not getting tired, suddenly he feels like something is weird in his whole body, he quickly stands up from the bed and touches his whole body. " *tap,tap,tap* .... huh? oh my God." He quickly runs to the bathroom and goes in front of the mirror, he suddenly removes his upper clothes and looks at his body. " oh em gee.... look at that, my body changed, it even become much better, I mean it''s not like it''s not better before, but just look at those, this type of body is the one that every man wish to have, not that muscular and not too skinny, it''s perfect hehe, damn system I take back everything I said earlier haha."

Suddenly Ray''s face becomes serious. "It looks like things will be serious and extremely dangerous after ''the test'' start, looks like I needed to plan things out and do some preparations cause this will not be an easy game that''s for sure....tch dammit." ... * Unknown * A big man can be seen standing in the middle of nowhere wearing a shiny golden armor with a scar on his face from his forehead to the right side of his neck, his right eye has an unusual glowing golden pupil and his hair is wavely fluting through the air like he is some kind of Super Saiyan. While staring in the black like circle of smoke he was looking at, a creepy smile can be seen forming from his face, suddenly he says something that rang throughout the space he was in. "Now, Let the Game ??????????." ..... Intensified background music...~ ... (Tokyo, Japan) ..... Ray''s Apartment (6:00) *Tiriririt!* *Tiriririt!* *Tiriri-* *Click!* In one of the apartments, you can see Ray suddenly wake up from the sound of the alarm and lazily standing up from the bed and slowly dragging his body to the bathroom to take a morning shower to wake up his sleeping spirit. After taking a bath and finishing his breakfast, he always goes outside and goes for his daily jog, this has become his daily routine every morning since he was given a break for a month from his job saying that he still needs to recover his body since he was on coma for a whole month. ... after an hour of continuously jogging and running nonstop, Ray can be seen sitting on a bench of some random park drinking some water while heavily breathing. *Huff*, *Huff* " well that''s an improvement..... yesterday I only last for almost an hour before I completely run out of breath but now, I manage to run for an entire hour without stopping *Huff*Huff* hoo!" He leans back to the bench and closes his eyes and thinks all the things that he does and have happened to him during these past weeks. ''its been three weeks already since I got discharged from the hospital, and after I got home the first thing I did is browse the web like crazy just to know all the things and information I needed to know about what was exactly happening throughout the world, and just a week after that, the WSO announce something in the public tv that shook the whole world, what was it? well they just reveal everything in public, from what I say everything I mean really ''everything'' from the blessed ones and the test, up to all of the things that Goddess Emilia said to us if you ask me I can almost say that they didn''t leave a single detail from it and just say it all to the public, and after that, the blessed ones have become like a celebrity now, like the one that I saw in TV yesterday, he was like a superhero wannabe, what was his name again?... oh yeah he calls himself ''Pyro'', wow the creativity of that man must be at the maximum 100 right? cause he got a freaking pyrokinesis as his blessing and he calls himself as pyro? pff. what a f*cking bull sh*t even the kids can do better than that, if your just going to embarrass yourself in front of everyone just because you want to be seen as a superhero at least think of a good name dumbass, they also say something about the blessings that we got, that the superpower type of blessing like mine has a drawback whenever I use it, for example the fire guy that they show on TV yesterday he has a drawback that whenever he use his ability he will slowly get dehydrated, it''s like the water in his body is being serve as a fuel for his power, *sigh* but the drawback of my abilities is actually different since I can do so many things, one of that is whenever I teleport, I can teleport from here to there for about 5 meters maximum since it''s the size of my domain, 1 meter is equivalent to a 100 meters run, so if I teleport for about 5 meters it will be the same to a 500 meters run, but since I have the ''Herculean''s trait'' I will have no problem regarding about increasing my stamina to a much faster rate, and to my other abilities such as anything other than teleporting stuff will take a tol on my mind since I''m using my brain and imagination to think all the things I want to do in my domain, I believe that it will give me a massive headache I suppose, but since I have mind invulnerability it doesn''t matter at all, it''s like I really have a cheat, no that isn''t right....I really do have a cheat, and it''s the system itself, and yesterday I also find out that I can actually expand my domain for more couple of meters but... as I said, everything has a drawback, yesterday I expand my domain and make it 20 meters big and it didn''t last long actually, after 5 seconds of being that big it shrinks down to its original size and after it got back to its size I just found out that I can''t use the domain of authority at all, how did I know? well simple, one of the abilities of the domain is I can feel anyone and anything within my domain, and when I see a butterfly flying in front of me I got confused on, why can''t I sense that? so I try to make the butterfly stop and teleport him to my hand to inspect the butterfly but to my surprise, I can''t use that too, I also try a bunch of other abilities but it also didn''t work, so I ask the system, what''s happening? so the system explain the reason, so the the expand thingy is actually the ability of the domain itself, so like any other ability it will need a cool down every time I use it, the cool down will depend on how long did I expand the domain itself, so every 1 meter is equivalent to 10 minutes so to my case at that time it will take 2 hours and 30 minutes before I can use it again, well what can I say, life sucks, but all of the drawbacks I have is nothing serious actually, all of the drawback that I have in my domain is being countered by the other blessings, for example, for the strength and vitality drawback I have the Herculean''s trait, and for the mind thing I have the mind invulnerability to pair against it, and also, I just think this one up, what would happen if someone snipe me up from a far distance, I can sense the bullet yeah, but only if it''s 5 meters close to me and there''s no way I can react to that so what would I do?...and that is where the thought Acceleration comes in baby, sure my body maybe can''t keep up but my brain does, my thought process is much faster than the speed of bullet so I can percept it once it enter my domain so I''m basically unstoppable hahahaha, ehem I also try equipping the item type of blessings last week, I started using the nightbringer first , I try to swing it a couple of times but I didn''t use the ability of it since I''m in the middle of the city and I''m afraid that I might slice a building in half by accident since the system told me to be careful on using it cause it''s a very powerful weapon, and when I try to equip the Fullbring Armor, the system warn me about it to not use it except when I''m in a very dangerous situation since the drawback of that item to me is absolute, I don''t know what it is or what does it mean but I just follow him nonetheless, you might ask me on, who the hell am I explaining this to? well, my answer is.....I also don''t know, I might have gone crazy already, that must be a hidden drawback from one of my ability, mah I don''t know, you might also think that I''m here sitting for so long already and just talking to my self all this time but your wrong, thanks to my Thought Acceleration only 3 seconds have passed since I started to think all these crazy things.''Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road.

When he was about to leave the place someone suddenly calls him from his back. "Ray?" (oppa?) "mmm?" ....( later that night )... 7:00 pm | Ray can be seen entering his apartment with a tired and exhausted face, he smells like beer but he wasn''t drunk cause alcohol doesn''t affect his brain but his body does, he feels like his body is so heavy and tired, he takes a quick bath and go to his room after changing his clothes and lazily slam his body to the bed. "Uwaah I''m so tired, I didn''t expect to see Sunny to be here at Japan, damn staying outside for the whole day wasn''t in my plan but If it''s her I guess that''s worth it hehe, *sigh* I''m so tired I want to sleep already I''ll just watch the anime tomorrow after I wake up..... good night me." ....

"Ugk, what is that?" He runs to his window and pulls up the curtains to see what is happening outside. Just after he pull up the curtains he saw a lot of people in the streets running in the same direction like they were running for their lives but something immediately caught his attention, he saw a smoking helicopter that is flying through the sky, he uses his Enhanced Vision to see what is happening in the helicopter after he zooms in his vision he saw the pilot missing his head and also the same for everybody that are riding that helicopter, disgusted by the view he switches his attention to the engine of the helicopter, he saw that it was pierced by a bunch of some kind of bone spikes that has the size of a normal golf club and as big of a normal human arm, suddenly the helicopter made a sharp right turn causing it to dive and fall in Ray''s Apartment direction.

"Sh*t I need to know what''s exactly going on." After he reaches the rooftop he kicks the door to force it open and go to the center to see what is happening in the whole city from above. "Oh God.... is this... the test?" What he sees from the rooftop is a city full of screams, smoke, explosion, sirens, and gunshots everywhere. " How did it end up like this, what is happ-...." !!! Suddenly he felt something enter his domain from his back, he immediately vanishes to his position and appears to the side part of the rooftop. He sees a flying big boulder pass through the position he was just in and slam to the nearby building. He looks at the direction where the boulder came from and sees that there is a Rampaging Creature at the top of the building and wrecking and throwing everything it sees. "RAAAAAAAA!" "JEZUZ! What the f*ck is that?" It looks like a big werewolf but it has twitching eyes all over its body, and long claws equipped in its hands, but the most remarkable part of it are his back, it has long but small tentacles in its back wiggling all over like a group of worms stuck in some hole and struggling to get off it and it is squirting some brown thick liquid in it. "Ugh, I feel like I will throw up my dinner last night if I continue looking, the enhanced vision make it even worst, it feels like I''m looking near from the side of it." Suddenly the creature''s ear twitch and the eyes all over its body look at Ray''s direction.This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. "RAAAAAA!" "Huh?"

Ray notices this and dodges it by rolling sideways. *BOOOM!* *Crack!* Some cracks appeared from the rooftop from the impact of the landing. "GRRRR! ..... RAAAA!" Looking angry because Ray manages to dodge its attack, it immediately jumps to reach Ray but, "Oh no you don''t."

Suddenly a smile can be seen appearing in his face, he looks behind him and looks at the street below. *Roooooooaaar!* *Bang, Bang, Bang* *Screams* " well, I can help them and gain level at the same time, I''m doing something good at least so no one can blame me for not saving anyone... oh right." He suddenly realized that he still wearing his pajama all this time, he opens his inventory, grabs the clothes he put there, and change. " Good thing I prepared for this kind of situations " ... " Right I''m all set, now let''s gain some ex- I mean save some people....yeah that''s what I''m trying to say" *Blink* [ Host, you need to be careful and always be cautious of anything you encounter out there.] "Yeah thanks, system" [ You are Welcome Host ] *Inhale, Exhale* "Now, time for some superhero live actions." ..... Blurgh!...~ ... ( Tokyo, Japan ) ... At this time in the streets of Japan, you can see a lot of people running everywhere, explosions, screams, and gunshots can be heard in every direction. " Go, Go, Go, Run to the safety bunker! GO!" Said by an officer as he tries to guide and protect the people to the Safety Bunker. "Sh*t where in the hell these monsters come from. Bang* Bang* Bang* "Tch! they are so tough! Just keep firing at them!" *Brugk, Brugk, Brugk!* " What the- " Suddenly an inflated big fat monster appears in not so far to them..... its stomach is convulsing like something is moving inside of it and while it''s happening it keeps getting bigger at the same time. "Oh no! hey fall back now-" Feeling something bad is going to happen, he started to step back as he also orders his men to fall back but. *Blugh!* *Splash!* Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work! Suddenly the monster leans forward and then it started to splash out some green like thick liquid. "Oh f*ck!" The officer that is first to fall back found an alley and try to hide there, but for the others, they are too late as the green liquid manage to hit them. *Ssssssssss* "AHHHHHH!" "AAH, HELP ME!" "AAAAAAAAH! IT HURTS!" Turns out that the green thick liquid that the monster splash out from its body is a strong acid as the policemen''s that get hit by it started to deteriorate and slowly melt on the spot, even the ground they are standing is not an exemption. "I''m sorry, I''m sorry... Everyone, I''m sorry." *sob* The officer who managed to hide in an alley, watch his subordinate officers scream in pain and die slowly. *Guark, Guark, Guark* The monster suddenly produced some strange noises like it is laughing that he manages to hit someone. "You Bastard!.... HAAAA!" *Bang, Bang, Bang* The Officer got out in rage as he continuously shot the monster by his gun. Suddenly the monster felt something hitting its belly and look down to find the officer firing his gun to him. "Oh no!" When he sees that the stomach of the monster in front of him is starting to get big again, he already knows what was going to happen that''s why he tries to run back to the alley to take cover again but when he was about to run he see a crying child not so far behind him, the child is so scared and it looks like she was left behind by his parents as it calls his parents while crying non-stop. ''Oh no, she will be hit by that liquid, Tch, dammit!'' He runs towards the child as fast as he could to get her out of the way and save her. "Come Here!" *Blurgh* "Huh" When he reaches her position he crouched down and try to pick up the child but when he look back to the monster it already leans forward and shot out its liquid greenish acid towards them. "Oh no!" He instinctively hugs the child he was holding to cover her out of the way and closes his eyes. ''Is this where I''m going to die? I''m sorry Everyone, I''m sorry Yuki, I can''t go there anymore I''ll just hope that you are safe, I''m sorry'' ..... Wondering why the acid hasn''t hit them yet he tries to open his eyes to look at the monster''s direction but suddenly he found someone is standing in front of them, looking at them. He tries to look behind the man to only find out that the big monster earlier who killed his subordinates was missing, it completely vanishes like it''s not even there at first. Wondering of how did that happen, the man in front of him suddenly speak. "You ok officer?" .... Safety Bunker...~ ..... ( Tokyo, Japan ) .... "You ok officer?" " Uh..... ah yes, umm what happen to the monst-.." " you don''t need to worry about that, any way you sh-..." *Crash!* *GRRRRRR!* " you~... should hurry up and leave, the bunker is not that far from here." "y-yeah you''re right, wait how about you?" " I think you should worry more about her, look she is too scared she can''t even walk....anyway you need to hurry now befo-..." !!! *Thugudig* *Thugudig* *Thugudig* *GRRRR* Suddenly a four-legged monster can be seen running towards them at a very fast pace. "Kyaaaaa!" "Oh Shhh" When the officer saw this he takes the gun from his holster and aim to the monster but. *Click* "Ah F*ck!" When he pulls the trigger of the gun it suddenly made a click sound meaning that it doesn''t have a remaining bullet anymore, he tries to grab his remaining magazine but the monster is so fast that it already jump towards the truck and knowing that it was going to leap at them, he grabs the girl and try to take her out of the way but when he sees the young man is still standing in the same position. "Hey get out of there are you an-.." Just like what he guess the monster leap through them but it was aiming for the young man since he was the nearest but, when it was close enough the young man suddenly wave his hand, then the thing that happens next left the officer''s mouth hanging. The monster suddenly disappeared. "W-w-what? how did tha- how did that happen?..... w-wait you, are you one of that Blessed persons that they are showing on TV? you know the one that is doing some magic and stuff, are you...one of them?" "Yeah, you could say it like that." "wow, this is my first time meeting one." They were too impressed that even the girl that keeps crying like there is no tomorrow suddenly stop and now looking at the young man in front of them with glowing eyes. "Wait what happen to the monst-.." "Umm, I think this is not the right time and place to ask questions, I think you should keep going already before the mon-.." *GRAAAA!* *SPISHH* (shattered glasses) *THUD!* Suddenly 2 more monsters came out of the subway and another three came out of the building crashing down to the ground, it is far away from them but they got still noticed by the monsters as it runs towards their direction. "Look, Officer, you already know that I''m capable of handling this kind of things right? so you should not worry about me and instead worry about yourself and the little lady right here, now hurry and run towards the bunker while I''ll handle them off....." " y-yeah you''re right, come on let''s go." Said the officer as he carries the girl up to his chest, but the girl suddenly look to Ray and said. "T-thank you Onii-chan....you are.. so kewl." said the shy little girl to Ray. Hearing this, Ray''s eyes suddenly lit up in surprise as some imaginative arrow hit him in the chest. ''Ugk! that is unexpected that cuteness is unbearable!'' He never has a little sister to dot back at their home that''s why he was so touched when the little girl calls him brother. " hehe *ahem* yeah you are welcome little lady, now you need to follow the officer-san right here ok? he will bring you to a safe place and also help you find your parents, so be a good little girl and follow his instructions ok?" "ok~ I will listen" "Good girl....." *Thug, Thug, Thug!* Hearing the monsters are already getting close. "Ok now Go." " O-Okay let''s go now.....Oh and.....thank you" " you''re welcome :)" Seeing them running away and now going towards the bunker, Ray sigh in relief.Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. *sigh* "I hope they will be ok, and now.... you guys, it''s your turn now hehe... come here my pretty little walking exp." *RAAAAAA!* 4¡Á They all jump towards Ray but they all just suffered the same fate as the other monsters that Ray encounters. *RAAAA-...* They suddenly vanish on the spot in just a blink of an eye, no sound, no effect, they just disappeared in the thin air. Ray sigh in satisfaction as he eliminates five monsters at the same time, he looks back to the direction of where are the officer and the little girl runoff, but suddenly something caught his attention towards the direction of where the monsters are coming from. "mmm..." ..... On the other side of the city, you can see a very big building in the middle of the water, it is made of some kind of metal and there''s also a giant bridge connecting to land in front of it serving as the gateway if someone wants to go in or out. This building is no other than, ''The Safety Bunker'', it was made by the government when they heard about ''the test'' that was going to happen, they don''t know what is the test exactly but they just build this thing to make sure they were ready if something like this happens. At this time the bridge is full of running peoples that want to go inside the bunker to seek safety and protection from the soldiers. Outside of the Bridge, many military personnel that is equipped with many heavy firearms are trying to fend off all the monsters that are trying to get close to the bunker while they give way to the people that are trying to get inside. "Come on keep firing at them, Don''t let them get close..." "Major! they are trying to flank from the right side!" "Looks like they are planning to go from the other side since-" "Major we also detected some civilians coming here from that side of the city." " Tch!....Those sons of a bitc**s!.... Call the Alpha Team and tell them to intercept the Hostiles before they get into the Civilians, And have the Bravo team Rescue the remaining civilians near the Area, We need to make this fast because these things just keep increasing numbers as time goes by so tell them to move their asses quickly, NOW!" ""Yes Sir!"" " *Sigh* F*ck those things wherever they come from, They are giving me a massive headache for god sake ugh!" "Uh, I have some Meds here, they are effective for headaches, do you want them, sir?" " NO! you goddamn idiot, get out of here you''re just making it worst." " ah!...I-I''m sorry " *Sigh* ... ( one hour later ) "Sir! we detected a massive number of Hostiles coming here in this direction from the middle of the city, they were way too many Sir we can''t take that many we will be overwhelmed, I suggest for an Immediate Strategic Retreat Sir." "Mmm, Give me the status report of the civilians." "Some of the civilians are now already inside sir but, we are still detecting many numbers of them inside the city, The Bravo team can''t reach them as they were encountering a great number of Hostiles, but everyone nearby is already rescued by The Bravo team as they are already inside the bunker now." "hmm.....Ok, good work, Order our men to fall back to the Bridge now." "Yes, sir!" ..... It takes for a whole 5 minutes before the whole soldiers are moved inside the bridge. "Sir the Hostiles will arrive at any time now." *shiik* "Control Tower, can you hear me?" *Shiiik* {You are loud and clear major.} *Shiiik* "Ok, Turn up the bridge now." *Shiik* { Roger that! } *Sirens* ... *Thugs!* *Clang!* *TING,TING,TING,TING,TING,TING,...* The bridge is now slowly rising, same as the electrical fences outside the bridge, it takes a whole minute and a couple of seconds until it finishes going up, and also the fences outside are already set up, it prevents anyone and anything even going near the gate, it twenty meters tall so no one can easily jump through it or even thinking of climbing trough it as it was equipped by a 1000 volts of electricity running through it. "Huh?" When they were about to leave and go inside the camp, one of the soldiers notice something outside of the gate and use his binoculars to see it clearly. "Oh my God! Major there''s a Civilians Outside!" "Huh? Give me that." "He''s wearing a police officer uniform and also.... he is carrying a kid with him, Major." "You don''t need to tell me that, I have eyes!... " "What are we going to do major." "Oh, God.....Aaaahhh...FINE! let us make this quick, Bring down the bridge and rescue them, Alpha team will serve as the guard and the Team Charlie will do the rescuing, we need to make this fast as possible cause we are lacking time so get yourselves ready!" ""Yes Sir!"" *Shiiik* "Tower you read me?" *Shiiik* {What''s the problem major?} *Shiiik* "Listen, I need you to pu-" "Major we have a problem! We detected that the big amount of Hostiles is already close! It''s too close we can''t put the Bridge and the defenses down, we will not make it!" "Ugh!....F*ck!..." ..... " Major, Your Order?" "Wait for a second, let me think." ..... "*Sigh* Leave them to be we can''t make it, we will be endangering the thousands of people in our back if we do, go to your stations we will follow the previous plans, prepare for an unexpected Battle." "But sir what about the.." "I said let them be, I know how you feel Seargent but we can''t do anything about it, as you can see we can''t lower the gate its too risky, our helicopters are all destroyed and the only remaining are the ones who go to get the supplies but they are not returning yet so how are you going to save them huh?....ok who can propose a plan come on say it..... mmm, no one?.....ok then go to your designated stations already, and just pray that someone will fly down to the sky and save them." "Ughk" Many soldiers are feeling guilty over the fact that they can''t save the two people outside, they just grip their guns and pray for their safety. Outside the Bridge, the Officer just keeps waving towards the bridge to signal them that there is still someone outside. ''Damn they put up the bridge already..... Oh looks like they notice us nice..... What? I thought they were putting down the bridge?... Seriously? They will just leave us here outside? Even the kid? At least let the kid in, Goddamit!'' "Officer-san, is this the safe place that Onii-san was talking about?" "A-ah Yes this is the safe place, there is no monster inside and it is protected by strong peoples so no monster can get in." "Then, will they let us in?" "Yeah I''m pretty sure they will let us in, they might have some problems that''s why they can''t let us in right away, but let''s just- let''s just wait for a moment ok? ah here I have some candy in here, eat this while we are waiting." " mmm, ok" ''Tch! now what? they are a such a heartless person how can they let a kid outside!....no good we can''t stay here for long, I need to think a plan, maybe I can go in one of the buildings, maybe we can hide there, but the food, ah dammit I''ll just think about it later.'' " Come to think of it, I don''t know your name yet, can you tell it to me?" "uhum, my name is Yui, I''m eight years old, My moth-" "O-okay, okay that''s enough Yui-chan, now we need to get there, you see the red building right there?...yeah that''s it.....we need to get there, we will go there first before they let us get inside that is why we need to go fast ok?" "Why are we going there, Officer-san? Are they not going to let us in?" "N-no, no, they will let us in, we just need to take something there before they let us go inside." "ok~" "Ok let''s g-" When they are about to leave suddenly. *BOOM!* An explosion can be heard far away from them but after that explosion, several noises of monsters can be heard everywhere until not that long, Many monsters can be seen bursting out and almost flooding the streets with different kinds of monsters. "Kyaaa! Onii-san I''m scared!" "N-no need to be scared, come here cover your eyes, just stay in my back." "Officer-san are we going to die?" "N-no, the strong men inside will protect us, j-just cover your eyes and hide at my back, we will not die, Don''t worry. "Officer-san *sob* I''m scared." ''Ah sh*t, we''re surrounded'' ... The Great Plan...~ ( Tokyo, Japan ) ... ''Ah sh*t, we''re surrounded.'' Feeling hopeless in their situation, the officer can only watch as the flood of monsters keeps getting closer to them but. *Wooosshh* *Thuugs!* "Whoa!" Suddenly a big muscular man landed in front of them startling the officer, the officer thought that it was a monster at first that''s why he aims his gun to it but when he noticed that it was a person he put it down. "Come here officer I will help the both of you get in there." ''Who is this guy and where did he come from? Ahh, I don''t have time to think I''ll just trust this guy for now.'' "O-okay, thank you, come here Yui-chan this man will help us." "R-really?" "Yeah, come on we need to hurry." " ok " "Hey, How will you get us there? Do you also have some kind of powers too?" "Oh, yeah you could say it like that but don''t worry I''ll just carry the both of you and jump through there." "Woah, so you are strong huh?" "Yeah pretty much, so come on we need to hurry they are getting closer." " Ok, come on Yui-chan" The muscular man crouches down and holds them both at their waist and lift them like they weight nothing at all. "Woah!" "You need to hold tight ok?" ""Okay"" "Here we go!" The muscular man squat down and take a deep breath, then *Bugshh!* He suddenly flew up to the direction of the Bunker, the military personnel inside the bridge who are watching this has mixed expression in their faces as they see how the man rescue the both of them and jump in an absurd distance while holding two people, but they are not the only one who is watching this. At the top of one of the buildings that is not so far from the bunker, A man can be seen sitting while watching the whole scene from a far distance. "Sigh, Nice one muscle man, I was about to go and help them but suddenly you appear out of nowhere but that''s good though because I don''t want to go there, I''m pretty sure that I cannot save the both of them without using my blessings, and I don''t want to be questioned by the military at this kind of time, they will just use me, and I don''t want any attention on me right now." Ray sigh in relief that the two got rescued and now safe inside the bunker, earlier Ray saw that the horde of monsters is going to their direction that''s why he decided to follow them just to make sure that they will arrive at the bunker safely. "Well, I guess I''ll just leave them on the military''s care now as I also need to do something for my self that I should have already done a couple of hours ago." Ray stands up and looks towards the streets full of running monsters. "But still, that sudden increase if their number is really terrifying, wherein the hell did all of that come from, anyway I need to find somewhere safe first before doing all the things that I need to do." *Swup!* Ray suddenly vanished on the spot. ..... "RAAAAAA!" *Explosion* *Screams* *Gunshots* -- In a place where a lot of Explosions and Gunshots can be heard, Monsters causing havoc everywhere and wrecked vehicles scattered around the area, and Running people while screaming for help, A man suddenly appears at the top of a certain building that is in the center of all the happenings. *Swup!* Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators!*Huff* *Huff* *Huff* " I admit *Huff* that was really *Huff* really tiring *Huff*, HOO! (blows a big amount of air) But anyway I guess this is a pretty good spot." In front of him was a big condominium building, it is located in the center of the city. ''You might think that I''m an idiot for choosing a big condominium in the middle of the city as my safe house where a lot of monsters are still roaming around the streets, well you can see it that way IF, if it''s a complete building already and some peoples are already living inside but no, there''s no such thing, as you can see It is not finished yet, the lower half of it is still under construction but the upper half of it are already finished, so that''s what makes this place ''perfect'', it has no people in it that will lure the monsters in, the bottom part has a lot of fences to keep the people and monsters outside, and I can just cut off the stairs below so that no one can go up and lure the monsters in if ever someone manages to climb the fences in out of desperation, even though there is nothing in it yet, it''s really not a problem for me, it''s actually very favorable in my situation hehe. Well enough talking to my self and I should start doing my plans...I swear this has to be the drawback in one of my powers, it has to be so strong that even the mind invulnerability skill can''t block it, *Sigh* I should go already.'' *Swup!* Ray suddenly vanish at the rooftop and appears on the ground floor of the condominium building that is still under construction. "Mmm, good thing that the fences are covered so the monsters can''t that I''m here, Okay time for the Phase 1 of my plan, I need to seal this area first so I can make sure that no one can come here and lure the monsters upstairs.... mmm...I can use the metal bars over there for barricading, okay let''s make this quick." Ray suddenly float in the air and fly around the area to gather every metal bars he sees, whenever he sees one he will just levitate the metal bars from the ground and make their size smaller same to the size of a normal human finger cause Ray know that all the metal bars are so long that by just taking them all will eat all the space around him since he can only keep them in just a distance of five meters since he is taking so many, it will only hinder him from moving freely, so he just decreased their sizes so he can take them all without a problem. After taking every metal bars he sees around the area, he proceeds on barricading all the four sides of the building on the ground floor using all the metal bars he gathered. After he finished barricading the ground floor he cut off the stairs that are leading to the first floor, after that he also did the same on the first floor, he barricaded all the sides of it and cut off the stairs after he is done, he repeated the process of barricading until the fifth floor since he runs out of metal bars already. "Oh well, I think that should the trick, now time for Phase 2." Ray suddenly vanish again and now can be seen flying outside while looking in every direction, but while he was flying in the air he senses something coming towards him, Immediately turning his head to look at it, he saw several bone-spikes flying towards him at a high speed. It might look very fast for a normal person but not for Ray, equipped with the Perception Eyes that can percept anything combined with the Thought Acceleration and the Enhanced Vision you need to be at least in the level of speed of sound if you want to at least touch him. "Mmm! Not fast enough!" Ray extends his arm forward and makes the Bone-spikes stop when it passes through his domain. "This time you attack the wrong person, Now let me send you back to where you come from." Ray adjust the position of the spikes and point them towards the frog-like monster that has spikes poking out all over its body, then the moment he snaps his finger the spikes that are floating around him suddenly shot out towards the frog monster in very high speed that it doesn''t even have time to react, the monster just exploded on the spot since it is a bloated type of monster. " Woah, disgusting...Oh, where was I again? Oh right, the Phase 2." Ray resume his flying around the area while looking for something, after a minute of flying around, he manages to find the place he was looking for. "Oh there''s the supermarket, now let''s start the phase 2, gathering supplies. Back when the whole system is announced to the public, the whole government increased the security for every establishment all over the city because the government finds out that some of the blessed ones have a feature to their system called ''inventory'' that is threatening to the society since you can simply just go to some supermarkets or any store and make all the items you want, go disappear and transfer it to your inventory that''s why the government increase all the security to all the establishment in every city. "Mmm? looks like the Supermarket are still closed when the test started, Hahaha Sigh* Oh well, the First camp first serve!" Ray immediately flies towards the roof of the supermarket and teleport from there to the inside. "Whoa! Perfect" Ray didn''t waste any time Instead of putting them to his storages one by one he just stop the movement of the shelves so even if it turns upside down the contents it has will not fall, then next he makes it smaller up to the size of a coin and just let it float around him just like what he did to the metal bars earlier, He repeatedly does that to every shelf he pass through until he swoops clean all the shelves in the food section, he also grab some necessary stuff in other sections until he thinks that it''s already enough, now he has so many small things floating around him before he gets out of the market he decided to make a quick trip to the Appliances Section and grab some necessary Stuff that he might find useful for his new ''home''?. Felling satisfied already he finally decided to leave and quickly go back to his self proclaim house. ... After he goes back he just put aside all the things that are floating around him and quickly opens his inventory. Suddenly Ray can be seen taking out some piece of paper that looks like a Talisman from his inventory. "The Mark of Dune, since this is my base now I guess I need to put this thing now.....right? but....how do I even use this thing? it just said that I need to drop some blood in it, maybe I need to post it out on the wall?.... ok let''s try that out." Ray put a small cut on his finger and drop some of his blood at the talisman, then suddenly when the blood hit the surface of the paper it glows. "Ugh!" After a couple of seconds, it stops glowing. " That''s it? it didn''t even change, it still the same but... I guess the bonding is successful since somehow I can feel a connection to it, I can''t explain how but.....I just know..... anyway maybe I need to stick this on the wall, yeah let''s try that." Ray put the Talisman on the wall after putting it nothing happen but it somehow sticks on the wall, then... "Oh! wow, this is so weird, I can feel the whole building, it''s like I am a part of it, I can even feel the cockroach in the 3rd floor, haha this is very useful." It takes a whole minute after Ray finally gets used to the feeling of sensing the whole building After that Ray goes into one of the rooms and sit at the ground. "Okay I already finish doing all the necessary things, I think that should be enough... now it''s time to check to most important thing of them all." ''System'' Scary dream...~ ..... ( Tokyo, Japan ) ..... Hi my name is Ray Williams and yeah that''s me, you might be wondering of how did I get myself in thi- Aaaaah such a cringe-worthy and cliche intro *sigh* f*ck let''s start it again.... Hello~ my name is Ray Williams 21 years old and I am a human being with my organs fully intact....yeah~, that''s how you normally introduced yourself nowadays, well you see that''s already an issue during this days especially if you wake up in a morning with a Huge alien cockroach standing above you hahaha- no I''m serious that happened... *sigh* Anyway, the whole world right now is in full chaos, whether it is the government or normal people it doesn''t have an exemption everyone is in a very deep mess right now, well it''s all thanks to our not so friendly neighborhood Spider Man-sters and many other more, it''s all thanks to them that every city in the whole world looks like hell manifested in Earth itself but it''s not really an exaggerated term actually, if you look the whole city from above it looks like hell sh*t, Well it all started a week ago, I can still remember the shock on my face when I was on the rooftop of my apartment building while seeing everything that is happening throughout the city, that''s the first day of the test...yeah that is the test, I don''t know what is the goal of this test or how to even finish it but I have a few hunch but somehow I''m getting the hang of it....somehow.... Where was I again- ah right, so in the first day of the test I did so many things, after I beat the first monster I encountered I received a double exp bonus and many other stuff so maybe because I''m still shocked in that moment and some parts of my brain are still in a mess, I didn''t think much and get over hyped about the double exp and rush out in the streets and hunt down some monsters but at that time little did I know that, that is the time that I will hate my self for being so stupid and reckless but still I did a pretty good job at that time.....I think, I kill so much monsters, save many people, find a new place where I can stay since my room at that time was smashed by some helicopter, and I also secured all the necessities that I need to survive for a whole month, ya know things like food, items, also stuff like this and that, so I can actually survive a month without even going out but we all know that there''s no way I will stay inside and just watch everything from happening, But at that time after I finished all the things that I needed to do I finally open up the system and Man~ if shock can kill a person then the whole world right now will be destroyed, when I open the system I saw a lot of foreign things that I didn''t know but fear not, since I have the great system, the one who can answer thy questions, Oh well the system is really good at explaining things but also slow so after an hour of explaining I finally know all the things that is going on throughout the system, mmm.....where do I start.....oh yeah let''s just start from the very start haha- *Ahem* Ok let me explain first about the update, so it turns out that the update thing happened when I was sleeping and since that day I was so knocked out that I failed to notice it, so what was it? simple, at that night all the people in the entire world received the same notification that the test will begin soon But of course, people being people didn''t know if what exactly they were going to do about it, some just stay at their home, some choose to ignore it and just continue with their life, and some did prepare for whatever is going to happen even if they don''t know what exactly is going to happen, but me I didn''t notice all of that since I was in a very deep sleep, also at that time the remaining features of the system the news and the shop has been unlocked, Let me explain those two, first the news, of course, its name is a self-explanatory already but I still need to explain it, Tch! ..... So news, that is where the notification about the start of the test appears, any types of events that will happen anytime soon or any announcements from the system will all appear first at the news feature beforehand so it is advised to check it daily...at least that''s what the system says, Next the Shop, of course, what could a shop be? it''s pretty obvious already, you would buy things from there, whether it''s a weapon, item, consumables, or even skills, all of it can be brought using your points.... What, what did you say? what is a skill? well, there''s a whole explanation about that, and that is where the 2nd part of my explanation comes in, The Skills....Dun~Dun~Dunnnnn. *Sigh* The skills, of course, you see the store and news are not the only new features that have been added in the update, there is also the skill feature, I know that you are wondering and confused about something but let me clear that up for you, you know the skill bar in the status right? yeah, the one that has precision, sneak, and much other stuff yeah that''s it, so the thing is....the system removed it from the status and make it into another feature but before we go onto that let''s shift the wheel for a bit shall we? If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. Ok let me explain something first, so here''s a question for my self, what is the ''The Player'', I know that you know that its the job, ok but there''s something much to it, The Player is someone who is chosen to participate to the God''s test they are being guided by the system throughout their journey on finishing the test, and also dis I say that there are two types of player? Well, that is the Normal Player and the Chosen Player, Disclaimer! I''m just saying what the system said to me ok?, so the difference about the two is... the Normal player will participate in the test normally... uh uh what do you mean by starting normally?.... glad you ask, well by normally it means that you will start the test with nothing.... ...I''m kidding, you will get a starter pack of course, geez~ as far as I know, that starter pack contains somethings to it and also some points and if you''re lucky enough there might be some skills there, well that is what I get from my starter pack but the system said that it is randomized, the quality of the things that you will get in your starter pack will depend on how the system analyzed you, I don''t know on what base but that''s all that the system said, So if you want to get strong and survive the test you need to act smart, you need to choose your decisions wise and so on and so forth, that''s what you do if you are a Normal type but what if you''re a chosen type.... like me... simple, at the very start even before the test begin, you will be blessed and be given some random stuffs just like what I got, so it is really like what Goddess Emilia said...What did she say again?..... Oh right, "it''s like fighting a bunch of monsters barehanded but once you got chosen, you will get something that will give you an advantage to the others", .....I don''t know if that''s exactly what she said but, Meh it''s something like that, So why the hell am I explaining this, and what''s its connection to the skills? but hey d''ya remember when I say that you might get a skill in the starter pack if you are lucky enough? well even if you did get the skill it''s not that good actually, well it might be good for you but it''s not comparable even to the lowest grade of skill you''ll get if you are a Chosen. So here''s first, there are two types of blessings that you will possibly get in that giant roulette back then, either an item or a skill, if you get an item you will unlock the System''s Inventory Feature earlier than the others and if it''s a skill, you''ll get nothing, it will just stay in the Blessings Feature until the Skills Feature get unlocked, But let''s just say you got a Skill type, then once the Skill feature has been unlocked, you''re skill will be automatically transferred to it and the moment your blessings feature is empty it will be removed, so it''s just like a temporary place for the Blessing you got until the right place for them appears, it''s like a sad love story yeah, So what I''m just trying to say is, The skills and The blessings are somewhat the same, I''m just trying to say it so that you won''t get confused about it. So kids let''s do a summary of all the Bullsh*ts I''m saying so far, shall we? The ''Blessings'' have been removed and the ''Skill'' feature has been added, Simple... Oh, finally we can go back on the question "What is the ''Skill'' feature and what is so important about it"....*Sigh* Ok so you might say that '' yeah, yeah the Blessings are skills and items and bla bla bla '' but no there''s something that happens or should I say that it did something worth mentioning, what is it? Well, I''ll go back and ask again this question, you know the skill bar in the status right? yeah the one that has precision, sneak and much other stuff yeah that''s it, well when the system did an update and turn the skill into a new feature, the skills that I got in there evolved into official skills as well, but of course, the useless ones have been removed and got converted into points... explaining all the skills I got is a pain but I guess there''s one new skill that I like and worth mentioning, it''s the "Krost Eyes" what does it do? well let me tell you how did I get it, there''s actually hidden achievements within the System and one of that is the Krost Eyes, how did I get it? well when my ''Precision'' skill evolved into ''Eyes of Precision'' I suddenly got the hidden achievement and that is ''The Recipe for the great Krost'' and the condition for that is get the following skills to complete the hidden achievement, The Eyes of Precision, Eyes of Perception, and the Enhanced Vision, which is I have, so I unknowingly completed the hidden achievement haha, so what happened next is that the three skills has been fused into one and evolved into one skill, and that is the Krost Eyes itself, it can actually do a lot of things but it doesnt give me a buff but it has a lot of abilities but like I said it has all a drawback so I haven''t tried it yet, it can do a lot things but I am too lazy to tell it, Oh well I think that''s all for the update and the new features about the System, if I forgot something then maybe - oh there''s one more thing, The Player job, back in the first day I forgot to equip it and rush out and kill all the monsters I see but since I haven''t equipped it I didn''t get a lot of xp and rewards, instead of getting points, exp, bonuses, and more type of rewards in every kill, I only get that for like every time I level up argh im so f*cking idiot, at that time I only level up to 16 and if Only equipped ''The Player'' since the start I could have gone past level 40 since the player job has 20 percent additional exp and I have my 1 hour bonus double exp at that time so I could have much more- @#$#@##$ ... *sigh* oh well, there''s no point getting mad over the past but still that is such a waste *sigh*... anyway over this past week, the other chosens and players have started to fight back, they might have discovered the thing too about the system so they just decided to fight and stop hiding in their hole, anyways I will try to-.... *Tiriring!* *Tiriring!* *Tiriring!* *Tiriring!* *Tiriring!* *Tiriring!* "mmm?" *Tiriri- *Click* " Ahhhh *Yawn* .... What kind of dream was that?... Of all the things that I can Dream On Why did I dream about me talking alone while pretending that I''m explaining a lot of things to someone?.... Damn that''s scary.....*Growl~ ..... *Sigh*.. Whatever I''m Hungry, I wonder what should I eat for breakfast..." .... _______________________________________ Its Following, Not Stalking...~ ( Tokyo, Japan ) 5 : 30 am ..... It''s already half and a week since the test has started. In the City where almost all the building was ruined, there is one building in the middle of the city that is left unscathed. But like any other building, this building looks really peculiar, like that certain building was really made for this kind of situation. The building has 40 floors, even though its bottom is still under construction, the upper half of it is already finished, only the appliances are needed and it''s already livable. But the thing that makes this building weird is, it was supposed to be a condominium building so you will expect a building full of windows and balcony each room in every floor but, if you look right now at the building, it looks like an anti zombie-apocalypse type of building. ( A/N: you know the building of the hero association in One-punch man, yeah search it , it''s like that. ) It''s whole exterior is smooth and flat, you will not see a single window and balcony except for one room in the 38 floor like it was the only room that was made in the entire building, you will not see a single hole in the building except for that one. It is just a plain straight building. The monsters are also having a hard time infiltrating this building because of its structure, they can''t climb it since its exterior is plain smooth, it doesn''t have anything that they can grab on and even if they manage to climb it because maybe they have claws or anything that will help them climb up, they will still end up getting kebab or disappear into nothingness by a certain someone. But the surface of the building is not the only thing that is noteworthy, but even the ground of it is really something, it has a humongous spiky thick metal bar of fences, its needle-like spikes in every bar is so thin and sharp that you really don''t want to accidentally trip in front of it, that''s also why, no monster is trying to climb the fence or even touch it, but even if they manage to pass through it, there''s still a ton of fences inside and many other more things that make this place, the safest building in the area. ______________________________________________ If you look through the balcony of the building, you can see a certain man sleeping in a king-size bed while smiling for some reason, he is mumbling something like he was talking to someone in his sleep. *Snore* " Mmm " *Snore* " Hmmm~ Yeah mmm " *Snore* " Yeah just like that mmm~" *Zzzzzz* " Uuh... Uh, I''m about to-..." *Tiririring!* *Tiririring!* *Tiririring!* "...Hmm?" *Tiriri- *Click!* " *Yawn*, ..... Woah what a very nice dream I have.... maybe, it mean something good. " *(Birds Chipping)* "...Hmm " Ray stand up slowly from the bed and walk towards the balcony. " It''s rather quiet today, mmm....yeah, maybe this will be a very peaceful da- " *sssssssSSSSSWOSHhhhh!*Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit. .... *Booooom!* *(Shattered Glasses)* ***((( ROARS! )))*** A Rocket Missile suddenly pass through in front of Ray and fly towards the nearby building and explode, this has caused an uproar towards the monsters that are hiding inside in that building to come out. Ray who are seeing this has a dumbfounded expression on his face. ".....~Yeah Right, Peaceful it is. " (* MULTIPLE HELICOPTER NOISES*) (*MACHINE-GUN NOISES AT A FAR AWAY DISTANCE*) "...Or not. *Sigh* Wait, why there''s so many of them today? Hmmm..... What are they planning to do? They haven''t announced anything yet but- ... wait those big helicopters....are they transporting something?.....what are they carrying inside those, it was so guarded ... hmm...argh, my curiosity is killing me.... I can''t miss this one.." Readying to fly away, he suddenly remember that he was still on his pajama and his hair was a mess, he even has a dried saliva on his cheek. "But first.. Gotta do something real quick." ___________________________________________________ *Swooooosh* Ray was now flying outside while following the group of military helicopters that he see a while ago, while following them he keep his distance and fly very low since he didn''t want to attract the militaries attention, he is using the building as a cover so he wouldn''t get noticed by the scouts at the back.

" #FlyingwithBenefits " Every Monsters has a corresponding chess piece as their class, just like in the game "chess". The Pawn, Rook, Knight, Bishop, Queen, and King. The higher the class they have, the stronger and dangerous the monster are. During this week Ray have only seen nothing but pawn and rarely some Rook. He manage to kill a rook while he was going rampage outside of his building, he actually didn''t know that their was a rook in it since he just instakill any monster he sees.

Ray suddenly vanished at his spot and appears at the top of a building that has a clear view of the helicopters that just landed. " It''s quite far, I doubt that they will see me up here.... ok now " ''Krost Eyes'' When he activates it, Ray''s eyes suddenly change, the pupil of his eyes changes to cross shape (+) and the iris of his eyes change from brown to Honey Yellow that keeps on glowing. " Now let me see " Ray''s Vision suddenly zoom in to the Park where the Helicopters landed. " Hmm looks like they are cleaning the area." Only 5 out of 15 Helicopters landed on the area and dispatch the soldier around the area to clean all the monsters around with the help of the air support, and after the perimeter was secured the other three landed followed by the three big helicopters that is used for carrying a lot of equipment and people, while the remaining other helicopters started to move and circle around the area. When the three big helicopters landed, the big Door/Ramp started to open, when it is fully opened, a middle-aged man can be seen getting off in one of the helicopter while dressed like a general or something that a higher rank in military would wear. The soldiers outside perform a salute when the man fully got off, then after a minute, the general wave his hand towards the soldier, then the soldier shouted inside the big helicopters like he was gesturing someone to get off. When Ray saw the people that are getting off the helicopters, his eyes suddenly shot wide. " Wait isn''t that.." (A/N: Cliffhanger?) ___________________________________________________ A certain Individuals...~ (Tokyo, Japan) ... "Wait isn''t that from the shop?..." Stare~ From the helicopters, a hundred of people got off, but they don''t look like Military Soldiers, they are wearing weird clothes that looks like an armor and holding different kinds of weapon like Guns, Swords, Spears, Bows, and many more, some are even holding different types of shields. "..yeah, those guys are definitely wearing and using the items from the shop.... mmm, but most of the items they have is actually pretty common, I usually see those items from the first brackets of the shop back when I was browsing but still, even the common items are still expensive so i usually invest the majority of my points to my stats since I also have a weapon already and I pretty much don''t need it, but what are they planning to do?" The Shop feature in the system is where you can buy a lot of stuff that will help you finish the test. It sells different kind of stuffs like Weapons, Battle Clothes, Defensive Items, Enhancing Items, Mystic Items, Potion, and many other more. You can even make a legendary creature such as dragon into your familiar in the shop, but still the price for each is definitely not cheap. Buying items from the shop should not be done recklessly since you are using your points as money. You can''t gather points if you are weak so you need to invest some of your points into your stats but you also need some equipment to help you, so you need to balance the two sides, you can''t just focus all your points into shop or invest it all into your stats since even though you are strong, you can''t fight all the monster barehanded. " Mmm? Seriously what are they trying to do.." All the Guys that are wearing the items from the shop are gathering around the guy that looks like a general, after a couple of minutes, the general waves his hand and the group of people suddenly scattered and perform a salute, then the general got into one of the helicopters, and it fly off the ground and so the other helicopters leaving the bunch of people in the park. All the Military Helicopters that are circling around the area suddenly fly away towards the direction they come through, and the rest are also started to follow up, only the bunch of people that are wearing the items from the shop are Left. The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings. They started to gather around their selves and have a supposedly small strategy meeting, the guy in the middle that looks like a leader is explaining something to all of the guys around him. their small strategy meeting lasted for about five minutes, the guy in the middle that are supposed to be the leader, pointed in four different directions in the city, their team that is formed by a hundred of people was suddenly halved into four groups, all the different groups proceed to walk towards the direction they were pointed to and empty the park they were just in. " oOw, I see.... So this what they''re trying to do eh?.... This will be my first time seeing another Player other than me in action, hehehe, this is gonna be fun." Ray flew out of the building and follow the group where the leader was in. Ray was just casually flying while watching the group from above. "Mmm... if I were to compare this situation to a MMORPG game then that guy in front holding a massive shield would be the tank, and the same for the other two, and those bunch of guys with Swords and Spears will be the warrior I guess, and those that are using a Bow and some weird Gun will be the marksman right? I don''t see anyone that is holding a staff, so I guess no support or mages huh? but there are some in the group who are not wielding any weapon at all, Mmm...They are wearing a cape and robe, but that outfits is definitely not suitable for a close fights, and even the leader is wearing the same.... oh I see, they have those enhancement items, they maybe have an ability type of skill, well that explains it. So let''s just say that they''re the mage, but I wonder what are their skills.... it must be powerful enough to be in the side of government right? I mean, I''m pretty sure that they won''t pick some bunch of weaklings with some lame skills. Also, Some of them must be a Blessed..." After a minute of walking, they finally got out of the park area and was now in the main streets of the city. They luckily didn''t encounter any monsters within the park area since it was cleaned by the military but when they approach the city, the monsters are starting to show themselves. "Mmm!?.... Sir! I''ve spotted the monsters, there are some in both of that direction..." Said by the guy who wield a spear. "Ok, Good work.. We''ll proceed as we planned, Shields! Ready in your positions, Fighters and Marksman, you know where to go and what to do, remember what your job is, and to the Skill Casters, Gather up, stay close to me and be sure to focus on every enemy, reserve your skills and don''t just recklessly fire them to any monsters you see, Remember! Stay Calm, Cool and Collected, Always make the right and not a hasty decisions. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!" said by the leader towards his subordinates. """"YES SIR!"""" (*Different Sounds of Monsters*) "Ok get ready! Here they come!" ____________________________________________ That thing again...~ ___________________________________________________ ( Tokyo, Japan ) ..... *Thud* "Huwah, That was so tiring, why are there so many of them?....we are not expecting that number of Monsters.... Didn''t the headquarters said that this part of the city has the least number of monsters..." Said by the sword guy towards their leader while breathing heavily. "Yeah, That''s what they said when they scan the whole city..... must be a miscalculation to their numbers, or the monsters just hide themselves well that they have been unnoticed." "Either way, What''s the plan?....I suggest we should retreat first and do a re-scan throughout the area, we were overwhelmed by their numbers and and we just barely win, we are not prepared for this, anymore than this might go unpredictable." " But we have our orders, we have a mission we must accomplish no matter what. We have been caught off guard earlier because we have proceeded towards the area without thinking the possibilities, but that won''t happen again, we already know about their numbers, so from now on we''ll continue the mission with utmost care, we will go slowly and quiet towards the area, we will take the side roads and not the main ones so we will not attract their attention that much." " *Sigh* Look Captain, I know we have an important mission and all but look at our group, all of them was already exhausted and the three of them was heavily injured and one of our Tanks have gone unconscious, and that was just our first fight, what more could it be if we continue...So I''m suggesting that we.... should go and have an Strategic Retreat.... Captain." Said by one of the Skill Casters towards their leader. The leader look towards his team, he see that all of them are breathing heavily and some are already too exhausted and was now laying in the ground while catching their breath. The three heavily injured was the three Fighters, the three Fighters was caught off guard earlier by a group of monsters that look like a High Goblin, but not like in the movies, the High goblins they fought was big, it''s height was around 8 feet and wielding a club that is made of stone like materials, and the size of it is much bigger than them but they are swinging it like it was nothing. It is the same monster who made the other Tank go Unconscious, He is the one that is protecting their Right Flank but he failed to dodge the the attack and took a full blown hit from that monster, he manage to shield himself but the Impact from the swing was too strong for him that it caught off his balance and was thrown wildly and smashed towards the building. The leader are in a really deep thought, he didn''t really know what to do, they have an important mission that they need to accomplish but the things that are happening was not in their plans and the chance that they will die in this mission was great since the number of Hostiles they were facing was very unexpected, but the mission that was given to them is really important that they need to accomplish it no matter what, he was really thinking really hard and having a hard time in making a final decision. "Captain, I think you should decide fast because if we stay here for long, the monsters might attack us again." " *sigh* AAaah! Fine, Fine!.... Listen up!.... We will retreat for now, we are too exhausted and beaten up, we can''t continue any further so we will go back for now and prepare enough for next time.... Pack yourselves already and we''ll go now, help the injured to walk and carry the one''s who can''t..." " But sir, what about the..." Said by a guy wielding a spear "aaAAAh! No Freaking Buts! Don''t worry about that thing and Just carry on, I''m the one who gave you the order so just go already will ya!"Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation. "B-but... this mission was task to us by the higher-ups, if...." Said by the other guy in the Skill Caster Group "Didn''t you hear me?...I said don''t worry about those things and just go already... do you want to die that much, come here and I''ll f*cking incinerate you..." "N-no sir!" "Anyone else?..." The leader looks at everyone asking if there''s still anyone who wants to argue. """"No sir!"""" They all answered in chime. "Then just Go!" """""Yes Sir!""""" " You choose the right decision Captain. But still that guy was right, it was still a mission from the higher-ups if they will really get mad at us, specially if the other teams have been lucky and manage to complete the mission, we will be roasted once we get back in the camp, and that''s for sure haha-" Said by the same guy earlier who propose the retreat. "*sigh* Don''t worry, I''ll handle those old geezers myself." "*Whistle* What a caring Captain we have." "What are you saying? Of course I''m not I''m just-...wait, what are you even doing here, aren''t you supposed to be helping them and leave?" "Wait, are you blushing Captain? are you weak at complements? haha-" "Get out of here you pest! I''ll f*cking burn you!" "Haha- Hai, Hai, On my way Sir." "*Sigh* that bastard.." .... "Sir we have finished preparing, we have also carried the injured and the unconscious one''s already, we are now ready to leave." " Okay, tell them, let''s leave." "Yes sir.... COME ON EVERYBODY, LET''S GO!" """"Okay!"""" They all started to go back, they didn''t drop their guard and still remain in their positions, they meet a few monsters along the way but the number was still manageable and no one got hurt. they continue the pace until they reach the park area, but suddenly when they were about to enter the park, a strange sound can be heard somewhere, this cause them to stop and look around to where the sound is coming from. "What is that sound?" "Where is that coming from?" " I don''t see anything.." "Look Captain...above us!" "Huh?" (A/N: It''s a bird, no it''s a plane, No it''s Super Op Ray! haha kidding..) When they all look above they saw something that they can''t explain but they are all somewhat familiar in it. Just straight above them, they saw something floating in the sky. Its shape is rhombus and has a pitch black color but it''s producing a green particles that looks like a falling pixels, it also has a circling green halo in both side of it that has the same size of its rhombus body. "C-Captain isn''t that?.." "No it''s not, its much more Smaller compare to the one in New York, it''s design is also much more simple, it''s different... but it''s also the same." "Captain...What are we going to do?" "I''m getting a bad feeling about this, Fall back, now! Get away from its position!" They all retreated towards the direction they come from but as they retreat, the thing in the sky has started to glow and produce some weird sound. *zZzuwing!!!* "Oh no!.... Come on, Hurry up!" Suddenly it burst into light, its light was too strong that they can''t look into it, It''s like a flare but the brightness was ten times stronger. "Ugh! Cover your eyes!" It didn''t last a minute when the light died down, when they open their eyes and look above them, they see that it''s gone, the thing in the sky has vanished completely without a trace. "What happened?... is everyone alright.? "Yes Captain, We''re alright." "Everyone''s fine." " *Sigh* that''s good....I don''t know what did it do or what happened to it, but I''m pretty sure that something will happen soon so we need to get out of here fast and reunite with the others. Suzuki, Contact the other teams and tell them that we''re going back." "Yes Sir." "Hamada! check the news in the system if something changes or if New things has been added." "Okay, I''ll check it..." "Get Ready to move again, we''ll continue going back to the meeting point inside the park..." "Captain... I can''t connect to the others, they are not responding." "Mmm, maybe due to what happen earlier that our communications were cut off..." " Sir, I also have checked the News and there''s nothing new sir, it''s still the same." "Mmm, that''s weird, I''m expecting that maybe some event will happen after that but.... what is that thing earlier?.. Anyway, Let''s go, Let''s not stay here for any longer, I''m still having a bad feeling about the thing earlier, the monsters might be-..." "Uh.....S-Sir." "Mmm...what is it?" "Uh Look.....Ahead of us." When they look towards the pointed direction, they saw something in the middle of the street blocking their way to the park. "Huh... Oh my.... What in the world is that?" __________________________________________________ Brainless....and Headless...~ ________________________________________________ ( Tokyo, Japan ) ... "Huh... Oh God.... What in the world is that?" When he look towards the pointed direction, He saw a single Monster in the middle of the road, it was blocking their way towards the park. It has an ugly, disgusting and really creepy appearance, its arms has long claws attached to it, and its long feet was bended in front like a feet of a kangaroo but has more muscles, its face is indescribable, it was distorted and was turn into something called art. " Holy Jesus, I have seen a lot of monsters, but that is the most disgusting one I have ever seen so far." Said by a Skill Caster guy. "Couldn''t agree with you more." Said by the guy holding a shield. "But strange... usually, when a monster see us, they will run straight to us, or do something to attack us but that one is just standing there." Said by the guy wielding a bow. "Its brain must be nothing but pure shit hahaha" "Haha yeah like Y-.." *Pishk!* The Guy with the Sword suddenly froze when he saw the man beside him suddenly lose its head in the middle of talking. *Thud!* The body just fall to the ground like a puppet that lose its string and continuesly shake even without its head, it''s like the body didn''t even know what happened. It all happen so fast that the man beside him didn''t know how to react and just watch the headless body of his friend fall to the ground. Even the rest of them didn''t know what happened, they just notice it all when they heard the body falls to the ground. "Oh my God! Captain!" "Huh!? What happ-... Oh my god, Is that- Is that K-Kizuku?" "Captain! The monster...I-it was holding the ...." "Huh....isn''t that.... wait is he the one who did this. That''s impossible! I didn''t even see him moved. But if it''s really him then...." When they look at the direction of the monster, it was still in its position but it was holding something between its claws. "K-Kizuku....W-what happened? I-i..... I was just talking to you.. why are you dead now? w-where did your head go.." "Oy Genji! Snap out of it! you need to focus man! There''s a Monster in front of us!" Said by the other guy towards the friend of the guy that just died. "Y-yeah you''re right, Focus, The monster. Yeah let''s focus on the monster!... Yeah let''s Kill it! Let''s go!" "Yeah that''s rig-...N-No! We can''t go recklessly man! we need to pla-..." While talking he was suddenly interrupted by the other guy. "Wait the monster.... It was holding Kizuku''s Head! Look!.." When they look towards its direction, the monster who is holding the severed head of their comrades suddenly lift its arm and position the severed head towards its own head, suddenly the whole head of the creature was opened, it was like a flower, a disgusting flower that has a bunch of spikes in every petals of it. The Monster put the Severed Head in the middle of its Wide open Mouth/Head, then suddenly its Mouth/Head closed. Now the head of the monster was bigger than its normal size since the severed head was inside of it. Then suddenly the whole head of the creature started to move like its whole head was waving and several cracking noise can be heard like it was eating a potato chip. Suddenly a thick liquid substance can be seen leaking from the monster''s head. Its color was indescribable, it''s a mixture of different variants of color. "A-a...*Blurgh!*" *Blurgh!* Some of the guys who are watching this scene was throwing up their Breakfast. While the other guys has a Disgusted expression on their faces. "C-Captain! What should we do?!" "Don''t do anything hasty, we need to plan things out if we want to beat that th-.." "YOU F*CKER!!! I WILL F*CKING KILL YOU!!!"Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon. Suddenly the friend of the guy who has his head got eaten by the monster burst into anger and rush towards the monster while brandishing his sword. "Oy! Get back here!" "Genji! What are you doing! Get back here!" "Genji! are you crazy what are you thinking, Get back here!" They all shouted for him to get back, but none of them manage to reach him as he continuesly rush towards the monster. * ???????????P???????U????????????????????R???????????????E????? ?????????????????S??????????????H???????????????I???????????????T???????????!?????????? ??????????N????????????????O?????????????T??????????H??????I?????????????N??????????G??????? ????????????????B???????????????????U??????????????????T??????????? ???????????????P???????U???????R??????????????????E???????????? ?????????????S???????????H???????????????I?????????????T????????????!????????????????? * Suddenly the monster said something in the same exact voice of his eaten friend. Genji who heard this got more angry and grew more fiercely towards the monster. He was like getting insulted by the monster. "You F*cker! HOW DARE YOU USE THAT VOICE!..you''ll pay for that!... I''ll f*cking KILL YOU!" While running towards the monster, his sword suddenly shone bright, as he approach the monster, the light on his sword grow more intense until it was almost blinding enough. "Ugh!....W-what is this.!?" "Is this a Skill?" "I didn''t know he has this kind of skill!" "Genji...you.." Even the guys in the back who was about to follow him was suddenly stopped by the blinding light of his sword. When Genji was close enough to the monster, he suddenly jump high and hold his sword above his head using his two hands. "I''LL KILL YOU AND AVENGE MY FRIEND!..DIE!!... HUWAAAHH! ... TAKE THIS!" (A/N: "Ryujin no ken wo kurae!" ) *ssSSWWWIINNGG!* *BOOWWNGG!* Suddenly a slicing sound followed by an explosion can be heard. The guys at the back who have their eyes closed, started to open it slowly to look at the direction of the monster to see what happened. "Uuh, I didn''t know he has this strong power, he is not even a blessed." "How did he get this strong? I thought we are all in the same level?!" "Yeah, but what happen? did he kill it.?" "I don''t know, my Eyes still hurt." "Yeah the light was so sudden." Their eyes was adjusting and slowly recovering but they can barely see what happened in front of them. The whole street was destroyed, the buildings in the side was wrecked, but when they look in the middle of the street, they saw someone standing there but they can''t see it clearly. Time flew fast and they can finally see what exactly happened in the opposite direction. "Oh sh*t!" "Oh my god!" "Oh my....Genji.." "No!...Genji.." The one who is standing in the middle was the monster they thought was defeated, and there is someone lying on the ground in front of the monster. This is no other than their friend Genji. When they look at his body, they saw that his head was also missing and a pool of blood was spurting in its sliced neck. The head of the monster was once again twiching like crazy while producing some cracking sound. After a minute, its head stop moving and it suddenly look towards the group of people in front of it. If the monster can show an emotion in its face, then you can see how confuse the monster was. it was confused on the group of people in front of him. The Monster can''t understand their actions, If you can hear the thoughts of the monster then you will probably heard something like this. "What are this insects doing? Do they really think that they can stand against me? You are all Nothing but a bunch of Worms! Just stand there and Let me eat you!". ..... A couple of seconds ago, back when the monster was busy at eating... ''Were gonna die, that monster is truly a monster..... we are not even a match...we can''t defeat that thing...we are really gonn-'' "Captain! Tell us what to do now! if we just stand here we are really gonna die.! You are the F*cking Captain so make your Godamn Decisions" "Y-you are right, I''m sorry....Thanks, I almost lost it...*Sigh* Alright, here''s the plan, I don''t know if it''ll work but let''s do it nonetheless.." "Like we have a F*cking choice here." ... "Alright Everyone let''s do this, let''s avenge our friends, even if we die, we''ll die fighting!" """"OOHHH!"""" "Alright, Get Ready in your positions!" They use the chance that the monster was still busy at eating. They all quickly moved up and go in their directed position, It was different from their original positioning. They place the Tanks in the Front, Next the Fighters, Followed by the marksman and the skill caster. They are being watched by the monster ahead, it''s like he was watching a bunch of insects. " ?''?? ???? ???! ??????! ???? ?? ????!?''?? ??????? ???? ???! " Suddenly they heard the monster speak but this time it is much more clearer. It has the mixture of the voice of Kizuki and Genji. "Don''t let that provoke you and distract you, stay in your positions! We will charge ahead without breaking this form, we''ll fight till the very end and finish this thing in front of us! Now Everyone, lets do this just like we planned!.....Now! CHARGE!!" """""OOOOOOOHHH!!""""" .... At the top of the building in a very far away. There is a certain man watching everything from the very beginning. "*Sigh* Oh man! I''m really expecting a lot from this guys.... given that they were from the government, I really thought that they were something. What are they even doing? They are nothing but a bunch of idiots.....Why would they even fight that? It''s clearly out of their league, can''t they f*cking see it?" ''Analyze!'' *Blink!* <::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Name: (None) Race: Kriskyeksus (Grimirer) Class: Knight Level: 85 Origin: Priscoulet Planet <::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> "Look, All they ever fought was a bunch of Pawns since the very beginning and that almost bring the hell out of them, and now they are trying to head on a F*cking Knight!?... Are they even using their heads? I don''t know what their level was but I''m pretty sure that they were all below to mine, and I am just a level 49 for godsake, and that guy over there was a freaking level 85.... But why did the system spawn that kind of monster anyway!? it''s so obvious that the players around the area are not even that high level?....Anyway that man with the glowing sword earlier was clearly strong. If they just use there head and make a plan then use that move when the monster was caught off guard then I think they have a small chance to win.... but why did he solo that monster anyway? does he think he was a protagonist of some shounen manga?... damn this guys are a bunch of idiots..... Wait, what are they doing now...Oh my... Pfft!... they are all wiped out!..*Facepalm*..What did I told ya huh?....Power of friendship doesn''t work in here man... oh God! How did this guys even survived this long.....*Sigh* ...Oh well looks like they failed...Now.... It''s my turn I guess!...." ____________________________________________________ The man that was Loved by the System way too much...~ (A/N: Not edited! ) _____________________________________________ ( Tokyo, Japan ) ..... *Chack! Chack!* *(Cracking noises)* In the middle of a certain street where a bunch of headless corpses was piled up. A single monster can be seen crouching in the middle while eating the bunch of severed head on the ground. "....Wow, I didn''t know that it''s much more disgusting to look at when you''re this close..." The monster suddenly stop moving and look towards the direction of the voice. "..Oh, I''m sorry did I disturb you?...Please don''t mind me and continue on ... whatever you''re doing.." The monster saw a human in the middle of the street, standing alone in not so far away distance from him. "...Huh?....Another Insect?.." The monster suddenly said something, it is much more clearer but the sound of its voice was like a bunch of different people talking at the same time. "....hey I said I''m sorry okay, I didn''t mean to interrupt. Geez, If you can''t eat while someone''s looking at you then I''ll just leave then..." The human turn around while gesturing to leave, he started to walk away but suddenly, the monster disappeared from it''s spot and appear on his back, then it raise its long claws and slice it down towards his neck. *wwWWWOOOSH!* The monster was shocked when it see the human has disappeared in front of him before his claws manage to reach him. "Yare, Yare... What an Inpatient monster you are.." The monster suddenly heard a voice behind his back, he tried to moved his claws sidewards and throw a quick slash towards his back but the monster suddenly realized that he can''t move a single muscle at all. "Anyway, I''m not the type of person who like a very dramatic talk where you and me go talk and talk and talk then I go "DIE!" then suddenly you go "Not yet!" then you reveal your Trump card then I was like "Oh Sh*t!" then we go like boom, boom here and there, then it all end up in me being the winner, then I was like "That was a really good fight. I have never felt like this before, let''s do it again." then you go like "B-but" then I was like "No But!" then suddenly our eyes have met, while under the view of the setting sun, our face are slowly moving to each oth- .... Wait... how the f*ck did it end up like that?"Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original. While all of this are happening, the monster continue to struggle and try to free himself from the unknown force that''s restraining his body. But to his expectations, it was futile. "...what the hell am I saying....anyway Goodbye!.." Ray snap his finger, and in just a blink of an eye, the monster suddenly disappeared in front of him leaving no trace at all. He look at the corpses around and saw that all of the items and equipment they have are still fine. "Mmm.....I feel bad about taking their stuffs but, they''re all dead anyway so it''s better to take it rather than letting it rot here...maybe I can also sell those items at the store for points since I need a lot of them..... Hey I''ll be taking your items and equipments Okay?....Oh but in exchange, I''ll bury your bodies properly at that park over there okay? okay then, I think we have a deal. Now I''ll be taking those stuf-..." Ray was about to take all of their stuffs but suddenly, a burst of notification barge in front of him. *Blink* [ You have killed a Knight! ] [ + 743 exp ] [ Secret Event has been Completed! ?] [ Congratulations!

Well, since I can still access the inventory, it means I can still store these items. Alright then, I''ll be taking those and in return, I''ll bury your corpses." ... "..There! Okay, I think that''s enough. Don''t worry, I placed your body deep enough so you won''t be smelled and get dug by the roaming Monsters. Now we''re even right?... Mmm, I wonder what happened to the other groups that took the other directions. What are you saying? Of course, I''m not worried about them or anything, B-baka! ... Anyway, let''s check the place where they come from, some of them might have returned already. But I''m still wondering, what''s their purpose? from the way they move earlier, it looks like they are trying to get somewhere but that doesn''t make any sense, why would they walk on foot if they have a bunch of helicopters earlier. The military might have a really good reason for sending their soldiers here and leaving them instead of sending their whole unit, or they are all nothing but a bunch of idiots.... Anyway, let''s go." Ray Flew off the area and go towards the center of the park where the bunch of Military Helicopters landed earlier and dropped off their Suicide Squad. When Ray arrives at the area, he saw no one in there. "Hmm, The other teams are not here yet. Maybe I should go to th-" *?????* He was suddenly interrupted by a sudden sound of explosion in a faraway distance. "..that direction..." Ray didn''t think anymore and just flew towards the direction of the explosion. It only took a couple of seconds until he arrives at the area. When Ray arrives, he saw a lot of Monsters flooding the whole street, they are all running in one direction.This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it. "...Hmm, they''re chasing someone." *BOOM!* Ray heard an explosion again, it''s only a few blocks away from him. He immediately flew towards the explosion. "...Oh, As I thought, It''s those guys. Looks like they are overwhelmed by the numbers too. " When Ray made a turn towards the block, he saw the guys that are also wearing a piece of equipment from the system, they are all from the same group that goes towards this direction. "..1, 2, 5, 8, 13, 16, oh where are the others? did they die or just separated? Hmm, Wait...some of them are not wearing any equipment, and... girls? Last time I checked they are all guys... Civilians?.... Wait, if that''s the case then, there are only six of them there. Two Fighters, One Marksman, and three mages. Ooh, that''s a pretty tight situation, they are being chased by a bunch of Monsters while protecting the civilians, they are kiting them good especially the Fighters and Mages, they are all doing a great job of keeping their distance between the Monsters, and the marksman leading the civilians in front, I''ll say not bad but the numbers are too great, the ones at the back won''t last long if that continue. Also... there''s an incoming wave of Monsters going in their front, they will be ambushed if they go straight. The buildings on the side were also no good but if they manage to climb on the highest floor of the buildings then maybe they have a chance but doing that is not easy since the bottom part of the buildings is wrecked. Oh well, I guess they are all done for-... Hmm? Wait isn''t that..." ... *ROAAR-* *SSWWING!* *PHISK!*(sounds effect after you cut someone) A monster that was about to pounce towards a man was suddenly sliced in half. *Huff*"I''m already near my limit, we are running non-stop while fighting this number of monsters, if this continues for any longer, then we are all going to lose our stamina, and if that happens *Huff* we are all going to die including the civilians." Said by the man wielding a sword. "I know, *Huff* we need a plan! I''m almost at my limit too. maybe we can go in one of those buildings and try to-" the man that is holding a spear was suddenly interrupted by the sword-wielding guy. " No, That is a bad pla- *Roaar!*, *Swish!*, Haa, That is a bad plan, the monsters are already close, with this many people, if we make a sudden turn the monster will immediately catch up to us, we will be trapped inside the building and if that happens, we will all die since we are too tired and their numbers are too great." Said by the sword guy "Then what are we going to do?" Ask by the Spear guy "Just keep running for now maybe we wil-" "Hamada-san! There is also a group of Monsters in front of us!... Oh no! We are now Surrounded on both sides!" Shouted by the marksman in front, towards the sword guy at the back. "Oh, sh*t!" Said by the Spear-guy " What should we do Hamada-san!?" said by one of the mages while trying to calm the civilians that had fallen to the ground. The sword guy called Hamada saw that the monster was getting close already. He was really thinking as fast as he could to think a way out. He was the one that is entrusted by their leader as the one who will manage their group, he was the one that is supposed to make sure their safety, he was the responsible for their lives but he failed to manage them carefully and lead them to the situation they are in now. " I will try to buy time, you guys go ahead and enter that building as fast you can. I will slow them down, so you guys need to bring those civilians on the highest floor of the building and secure it so no monsters could enter it, then from there try to make a call to the base and request a backup! they are getting close now! Go!" Said by Hamada towards his men. They all stare at him for a second, then they all nodded and perform a salute before picking up the civilians and lead them towards the building. Even if they all wanted to argue and reason it to him, they can''t because they don''t have many choices. In the end, they are all forced to swallow their guilt and just do what they are told. "Hmm, why are you still here? didn''t I say that-" "That what? That I should just sit there and watch you die? Haha no. You see, we know each other since we are kids, protecting you from the bullies was always my job, I am doing this already for many more years than you, so I''m not letting you take on that kind of job alone. Anyway, it''s been a while since we have a drink, so let''s have this final toast together..What do you say, Cheers?" Said by the Spear-Guy to Hamada while bringing up his fist towards him. "You....*Sigh*, Do whatever you want you, idiot, don''t blame me if you won''t be able to watch your favorite porns back in the camp hahaha!" Said by Hamada towards the Spear-Guy while they both did a fist bump. "Cheers to you my friend!" When the Monster is already getting close to them, they both take their stance and was about to launch towards the monsters while shouting at the top of their lungs but suddenly... "Huh, what is happening? I can''t move!" "Ugk! yeah Me too, no matter how hard I try to move, my muscles won''t budge at all!" When they see that the monsters are already close and were about to pounce towards them, they just closed their eyes and wait for their deaths. "Goodbye my friend, see you on the other side." "Yeah! You better be there." When they hear the monsters that were about to jump towards them, they gritted their teeth and brace themselves, but suddenly. "Huh!? Oh my god! Hamada-san! and Jin-san, you two are alive! thank God!" They suddenly hear a familiar voice in front of them, they slowly opened their eyes and see what is happening. When they open their eyes, they saw the civilians they rescued and their teammates in front of them, their teammates are all looking at the both of them with teary eyes and the civilians look really grateful towards them. "Huh!? the wait is this, heaven? Wait you guys are here too, that means... I still failed to protect you huh!? I''m really sorry guys, I failed as your team leader, I hope you could forgive me!" said Hamada while doing a full Bow towards them. Suddenly something hit him hard in the head. "Ouch! what the- Jin? why did ya hit me!?" Said by Hamada while holding his aching head. "Look Idiot, were not in heaven! where at the rooftop of a building!" Said by the Spear-Guy called Jin "Rooftop!? wait how did we get here?" Said by Hamada in disbelief "We are also the same! When we enter the building earlier, we found out that all the stairs that are leading towards the upper floor are blocked by a bunch of fallen debris so we didn''t manage to get into the higher floors, but suddenly someone appeared in front of us and then in just a blink of an eye, we are all here at the rooftop, and a couple of seconds after that, you two also appears. Maybe that man was the one who saved all of us. He has a teleporting skill then maybe he was also a blessed." said by the marksman "Yeah, that''s possible but, where is that man? the one that you''re talking about." "I don''t know, we didn''t see his face since he was wearing a hoodie and a mask. After he teleported all of us here he just said to us that all of us should just stay here and wait for help then after that he just vanished, then you two appears, but I didn''t see him when you two appear here. He must have left already." Said by one of the Mages " Hmm.....he must be a great man if that''s the case, he leaves without asking for anything. He helped us all unconditionally, whoever he was, I am thankful for him with all my life. I hope I meet him someday so I can repay him.." Said by Hamada while looking up in the sky .... All of them were happy and thankful for the mysterious man that saved them. But one of the civilians is having a really worried expression, the other civilian that is on her side noticed it. "Hey, you okay? it''s already fine, we are safe in here, the monsters won''t be able to get up here." Said by the other girl towards her friend "Uh, Y-yeah I''m fine, I''m just... I''m just shocked, that''s all. I''ll be fine." Said by the girl towards her worried friend "Yeah, you should relax, oh here eat this. Maybe you are just hungry." Said by the other girl while offering a sandwich to her "Oh, No I''m fine Airi, thanks. I''m not hungry, you should eat it instead I know that you are hungry." said by the girl towards the girl named Airi "You sure?... Well If you say so then, Thanks for the meal." Said the girl named Airi and proceed on eating the sandwich. The girl on the other side was still having a really worried expression on her beautiful face. "That voice earlier..... I''m sure it was him...Ray" Said by the girl in a whispering voice "Huh, You shed shomthing?" Said buy the girl named Airi while eating her sandwich "Uh no, It''s nothing, and don''t talk when you''re mouth is full" "Oh,*Gulp* okay then." ..... On just the other side of the building they were in, a man can be seen at the rooftop of the building while crouching and holding his chest, you can see that he was having a struggle on breathing. "F*ck...I *Huff* Know this...was....a really.....bad idea...That number was too.....Much...Agk! .....*Thud* Suddenly he falls off to the floor and started to lose his consciousness. "...Aahh, F*ck-...." Then suddenly, everything went black. ________________________________________________ Attempt..~ __________________________________________ ( Tokyo, Japan ) ..... | 7:00 am | *Tiririring* *Tiririring* *Tirir-* *Click!* "...Hmm... It''s too early, five minutes more..." .... | 11:16 am | *Growl~* "...Mmm... Hmm? Ah, I overslept. Damn, I''m so hungry already. What should I eat?... Meh, whatever." Even though he was feeling hungry already, Ray didn''t stand up immediately. He continues to lay down on the bed for a couple of minutes. After five minutes of staring at the ceiling while feeling hungry, he started to get bored already and finally decided to stand up and walk towards the kitchen. After he reached the kitchen, he cooked a descent Breakfast/Lunch for himself, then after he eats, he took a quick bath and walk back to the bedroom after that and sit to his favourite couch. "..Mmm, Now what to do. *sigh* I wonder if I should go outside today and hunt some monsters, well it''s not like i am at a rush to gain points, level or... anything, but I don''t think I can do something in here. I already done all the things that is need to be done here at the whole building, from the walls to every room and also at the ground. *sigh* I''m too lazy to go outside today, but I also hate the idea of being lazy around here for the whole day. Ahh man, F*ck this. Alright, I''m going outside. Maybe, some important events might happen today like what happened yesterday." He quickly stands up from his couch and go towards the balcony. "..Hmm, but where should I go first? should I just fly around and kill all the monster I see, or..... I don''t know what happened yesterday after I lost my consciousness so.... Yeah, I''ll go back there and check them, maybe they are still there, and I should go hi to sunny if I see him. But how do I approach them? it''s not like I can just go there and say, ''Hey guys it''s me, I''m the one who saved you guys yesterday, I''m really not a suspicious person at all haha,'' *sigh* whatever, I''ll just think this on the way, for now let''s g-.." When Ray was about to fly off and leave the area. Suddenly, everything around him stopped, everything froze, like the time stopped itself. It was too sudden, everything happened in less than a second. Even Ray''s Movement was stopped, he was standing still on his spot and not moving even a single muscle. While Ray is frozen in his spot, His skill ''The Krost Eyes'' was suddenly activated, his eyes changed and started to moved, even though he can''t move his body, he can freely see and move his eyes. ''..Huh!?..w-what happened? Why can''t I moved? What is this?... Huh, wait is this....'' Ray thought that someone is doing this to him so he was about to use his skill to breakthrough but, when he see a bird that is also not moving while in mid air, he started to realized what is happening.The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. ''.... Time stopped?.. But I can move my eyes and think, if time was stopped, I should not be able to think....or see, well maybe I can still see since my Krost Eyes is absolute, it is unrestrainable, but my brain should not be able to think, I don-...Wait.'' He look at the bird and focus on it, His eyes suddenly glow more fiercely, and the crossed shaped pupil in his eyes had started to get thin. ''.. Right!..... The bird was still moving, but it is moving really, really Slow...Oh I see what is happening here. The time did not stopped, but I am just seeing or thinking too fast, that means, Thought Acceleration? Wow, I never use it this way. I mean, this is my first time experiencing this...But what is this wierd feeling I''m getting?... I never experienc-..'' While thinking all the possibilities of why does this skill got activated so suddenly that even he was not prepared and the source of the weird feeling he was getting. Something suddenly caught his attention. it was moving really slow, but its moving much faster than others. ''..Huh? what is that?...wait, a bullet?....OH, so that is where the weird feeling came from huh... Where did this come from?..'' Ray zoomed in his vision and follows the path of the bullet, it lead him to the rooftop of a building that is a bit far away from him. ''.. Bastards, you''re trying to snipe me up huh? Too bad but- wow you are so many, 1, 5, 9, 15, 18....22, The F*ck? There are also some inside the building. Wait, I recognize some this guys, I already saw them when I was flying around the area. I thought they were like me, also going around the area and leveling up but, I guess they''re not huh?.... Oh I see, this building of mine was the only building that is fortified in the whole city, a really good place to hide and stay, Oh I can see the whole story now. Given by their numbers, they might be having a really hard time on looking for a really good place to hide and stay, then someone might have spotted this building and tell it to their leader, and since they don''t know what is in there, they send someone to scout the area, and when they know that someone is living there, they just decided to raid the building and take it by force because.... because.... they don''t have a choice? I think? or it''s just pure greed, I don''t know and I don''t care, whatever their reasons are, I don''t f*cking care, the Only thing that matters right now is that, they tried to snipe me right at my head. What an a*sholes. and for that, they are all dead. But how am I supposed to do this, I don''t want to just, fly out there and massacre them all, that''s too boring.... oh right, let''s do that. hehehe...This is going to be fun.'' Suddenly, everything went back to normal, then. ..... At the rooftop of a certain building, you can see a group of people standing while looking impatient and nervous. You can see man on the edge of the building, he was holding a sniper rifle in his hands while pointing it in a certain direction. ".. It''s a hit." Said by the guy that is holding the sniper rifle in his hands. "..You hit him? are you sure?" Said by the muscular guy in his side. " Yeah, I''m sure, you can see it for yourself, here." said by the sniper guy while giving the binoculars to the Muscular guy on his side. "..Hmm, Oh you''re right, great job. I didn''t know that he will be killed that easily since I thought that he was also a blessed too, but I guess it was that easy huh?.." Said by the muscular guy while looking at the binoculars and seeing the fallen body of the man they shot. "..So, are we going to follow the plan?" said by the sniper guy. "..Yeah, tell them that we''ll proceed to the plan now." Said by the muscular guy ".. alright." Said by the sniper guy and proceed to leave the rooftop and go downstairs. "..Now that building will soon be ours..hehehe.." Said by the muscular guy while grinning widely Little did they know that someone is already waiting for them inside that building. _____________________________________________ Military side...~ ______________________________________________________ ( Tokyo, Japan ) | Japan''s Defense Main Headquarters | ..... In the middle of the certain room in the biggest building, you can see a middle aged man, sitting on the chair while typing something on the computer. *Knock, Knock, Knock* "Mmm, Come in." Said by the old while putting his glasses down. *Door opening SFX* A man entered his room and go towards his front and perform a salute. "Sorry for disturbance, General." "It''s fine, I''m already finished anyway." "Yes, I came here to report that some of the people that is part of the ''Zero Team'' that we dispatched yesterday for that mission, have been successfully escorted and arrived here safely with the rescued civilians." "I see, what''s their status?" "Some of the members of the team are slightly injured but they already received some medical attentions, and some of the civilians are ill but we already have them checked up before we let them in, just in case that some of them are carrying some virus or anything, but we discovered that it was just a common cold since some of them haven''t eaten anything for a few days, good thing that they got rescued before anything bad happens to them." "Mmm, I see, that''s good, anything else?" "Yes, The Scouting Team that we dispatched to find the remaining members of the ''Zero Team'' had already finished Scouting the whole part of the possible area but they didn''t find any traces of any of them, they sended us a message that they will do a another run around the area just to make sure that they didn''t miss something, they also said that they picked up a distress signal inside "The zone", they are thinking that it must be them but they didn''t do anything about it since the signal is coming from the near center of the zone, they said that it was too deep and dangerous for them to go in. They also said that the signal is really weak since they just detected it barely, when they move closer to the border of the zone. That might be the reason why we didn''t detected any distress signal coming from that area. They are currently standby and waiting for the new orders, General." "*Sigh*, Alright, We''ll discuss about that later but for now, tell them to return here first and wait for further instructions." "Yes, there''s something else, General. It was reported to me by one of the soldiers that partake in the rescuing of the members of the Zero team and the civilians earlier." "Mmm, What is it?" "He said that, while they were returning to base, he noticed a weird building in the center of the city, he took a photo of it and show it to me. Here it is General, please look at it." Said by the man while giving the tablet that shows a picture in it. The General wear his glasses and look at the picture that is shown at the tablet. "Mmm, it really is weird, it''s my first time seeing something like that, the design is really peculiar. did we have an information about this building?" "Yes, I already search for the documents and the plans of the building in that area and I discovered that, the owner of that building is named Kirako Shimada, he was the Founder and CEO of the GCK company, I tried to search for him to contact him and ask about the building but I discovered that he was with the unfortunate one''s that didn''t manage to survive at the first day of ''the test'', anyway they contacted the Gunko Builders inc. for the construction of the building in that area, the building was supposed to be a Condominium building, they started building it in just a couple of months ago so it wasn''t supposed to be finished yet. This is the copy of the plans and layout for the building, General." Said by the man while giving some papers and documents in the General. "Mmm..." The General flip the documents and read some of it and just took a quick glance of the rest of the pages before shutting it close again.If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. "..*ahem*, as you can see there general, the layout of the building was supposed to be different than the one that is shown in the picture earlier, even though it isn''t finished yet, they said that the whole structure of the building is already made and finished, but the structure of the building in the photo is completely different." ".. I see, that is really something, we should send some team to scout the area and check that building and see if something was there." "Actually General, I already dispatched some drones around the area to do some scouting and check if there is something suspicious in there since we-" Suddenly, the man that is speaking stopped and listen to his communicator in his ears. ".. Yes... Already?... Alright, wait for a second... General, it seems that the drone that I dispatched had already arrived at the area a few minutes ago, the drone has a live footage of the area right now, do you want to see it, general?" ".. Alright, let me see." "Okay, ..... Alright, Connect the footage here at the Main room." After a few seconds, a big screen appear in front of them and a certain video was played in it. "..It is really different compare to the one that is shown in the plan of the building." Muttered by the general. "Yes general, and it looks like it was finished already, according to the record of the one that is handling the construction of the building, from the top floor till the near half of it are the only finished floors and the bottom part of it was supposed to be, still under construction since ''the test'' started during that day, but looking at it now, it looks like, someone or .... Something did this, looking at the bottom of the building, you can see general that it is really fortified, it prevents anyone from going in, I doubt that they changed the plans of the building and made it into something like.... this. Something is really going on here general." "..Yeah, I agree, we shou- wait, is that? Huh? People, there''s civilians in that area." suddenly, something caught the general''s attention, in the video, a bunch of people can be seen, they are all running towards the direction of the building. "..You are right general but, No, they are not ordinary civilians.." The man suddenly reach for his communicator and said. "Hey, zoom in the drone number 3 in the bunch of people below the building." Suddenly, the camera of the drone was zoomed in on the people below it. "Look General, some of them are wearing some armor, and equipped by some weapons and items from the shop, they must be an active players, and a high level at that, since some of the items they have is above grade than the armors and items that we usually give to our soldiers, we must take them in general, there is a high chance that one or two of them are a ''blessed one''.." ".. Yeah you are right, immediately dispatch some team to rescue them and- wait, what are they doing?" "Huh.?" Suddenly, the people in the video arrived at the front of the gate of the building, suddenly they all started step back and a certain man step forward and place his palm in front of the steel gate then-.." *Bwuuiing* "Woah, Impressive.." "That Guy." Suddenly, the guy released some shockwave that comes out from his hand on the gate and it was blown away violently, he continues to do it on all the gates they see until they were completely inside the perimeters of the building, a certain girl suddenly raises his arm and a wall of rock immerged from the bottom, replacing the metal gates that they just blown away. "..I can''t believe it, they have such a strong skills." ".. Yeah, the boy have an offensive skill and the girl have maybe both offensive and defensive since, she might have a skill that allows here to control the ground or something like that, this both have a high class skills, we must bring them here, those two have a potential to be one of our aces in the future, we also don''t know if there is also someone else that has the same or even more higher class skill among them, we must really bring them on our side at all cost, prepare a team to go there and try to negotiate with them as fast as possible." "Yes general .... Looks like they already enter the building." "..Make sure to monitor it, have the drones standby around the area, just in case they leave there." "..Yes major, I will do it immediat-" *Pukshh!* *Click!* *Piissshhh* Suddenly, the footage of one of the drones was cut and was now all black. *Pukshh!* *Click!* *Piissshhh* The footage of the other drones was also suddenly getting cut, one by one until the whole screen turned black. The man Immediately reach his communicator to know what is happening. " Hey what is happening?....What!?... Destroyed!?... How did that happened!? .... " "..What is it?.." asked by the general. "They said that the drones was suddenly cut and go missing, the signal of it was suddenly deactivated and vanished, they said that, that Only happens when the drone was suddenly attack and destroyed, I will excuse myself already general and look out for this problem, I will immediately carry out your orders and take care of this problem, I will report it to you again general if I discover something from it." "Alright, good luck on your work major, and make sure to know what is exactly going on." ".. as you wish general, now if you excuse me." "Yes, go on." The man Immediately stands up and perform a salute before leaving the room. "Hmm, I wonder what happened there, could it be that it was attacked by a monster or... Someone." ..... Meanwhile, at the top of Ray''s building, Ray can be seen while sitting at the bunch of destroyed drones. "Hmm, Military Drones Huh? looks like I''ve got the attentions of the military now hmm, well, looks like I need to change my plans a little bit huh. *Sigh* oh well, that''s for the laters I guess, for now, let us welcome my little guest shall we." Ray said while forming a little smile on his face. ________________________________________________________________ It appears! _____________________________________________ ( Tokyo, Japan ) .... "...*Sigh*, we are finally in." "..Yeah, that took much longer than we expected, but... Oy sasaki, what happened to you? are you okay?" "yeah, I''m fine. it''s just that, my head hurts, and I''m feeling a bit weak. It did takes a while before I manage to take down all the gate, I thought that it''s just one gate but I didn''t expect that there''s a bunch of it so, I kinda overused my skill a little bit, that''s all." ".. I see, that''s normal, just leave it for a little while and it''ll be fine." ".. Yeah, I know." ".. okay, we will take a break for a moment, we will go in later so rest here for a while. tell me when your head is fine already, for the meantime, I''ll talk to shimura-san to know our situation, alright?." "..Yeah, sure. thanks." "..No problem, we''re all in this anyway, no one''s leaving someone, we will go in together." ".. heh, where did you get those words from? you sounded like an old man, trying to hit some children on streets, haha." "..che, I''m just being grateful here ya know." "..Yeah, Yeah, go on already and do whatever the hell you need to do." ".. alright, smell ya later Shrimp." "..Hehe" ... In the center of the crowd in the middle of the ground floor of the building, a girl was standing while examining the interior and the ceiling of the building. Suddenly, a muscular man approaches her. "Shimura...Mmm, what is it?" Noticing the wierd expression of the girl, the muscular man asked. "..Oh, it''s Nothing, it''s just that, I find it a bit weird." ".. yeah, I agree. This is really a weird building." "..Oh yeah, that too. but no, not just the building but I mean, the thing on how we manage to get here." "Mmm, What of it?" ".. Don''t you find it a little bit weird? we came from a far distance, we encounter a number of Monsters along the way, it''s not really a big problem for us because we have the numbers and all of us are not weak and capable of fighting them, but we always stayed alert because maybe, all of a sudden, a horde of monsters suddenly rush on to us, then it''s really not good if that happens right? but the time when we manage to get close in this area, we didn''t encounter any monsters anymore like, they just disappeared in this part of area or... I don''t know?" ".. Maybe they are just not there when we passes by, or we are just lucky that we didn''t encounter any." ".. Huh? that''s weird, cause if my memory was correct, we are in the middle of Tokyo, that is reported to be the most dangerous part of the city because this part of the city has the most numbers of monsters because this is where the outbreak of the monsters started. And here we are, running in the middle of the streets like we are all going for a casual morning jog." " .*Sigh*, come on, don''t think about it too much, just consider it as we, being lucky. maybe the gods have already pitted us and decided to help us and shoo away the monsters, right?" "..Hah, pitted? if the gods would really pitty someone, then i doubt that, that will be us. We just killed a person, not so long ago remember? so why would you think that he or she would pitty us." "..*Sigh* come on, you know that we just did that because we need to survive, either them or us. it''s not like we are still on the normal days, I know where you are coming from but we need to do anything for us to survive, even if that includes, killing. And besides, it''s not like it''s the first time we did it, "right"?..." "..Tch, Whatever." ".. Alright, put your worries aside. for now, let''s get back in the real problem we got in here. So, how was it? did you find anything?" ".. Mmm, i didn''t find anything, there''s nothing in here." "..are you sure? maybe you have missed something, or if not then, maybe a secret door or entrance." "..*Sigh* I doubt that. I already checked the four sides of this building and I didn''t even see a single stairs or anything that will lead us inside. I also checked the walls in every sides of this building, and there''s not even a single barricaded window or balcony to be seen, of course, other than the one where we shot the man earlier but other than that, there''s nothing else. I also think that maybe there''s a secret entrance in here or something. So I used my skill to examine the whole building, and you do know that I can find even the smallest crack in this building right?Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings. "O-Ofcourse, I am" "..Good. I have a really high confidence when it comes to my skill so when I say that there''s none, there - is - NONE! alright?" ".. Y-yeah, Sure." "..*Fake Cough*.. Anyway. So I used it to find if there''s a secret door in here or anything that we can use to go inside but, Surprise! I didn''t find any. This is a really secured building, and I really doubt that the government or any other people back in the normal day will create a type of building like this, I don''t see its purpose rather than being a perfect protection for monsters. So that leaves me with a conclusion that, someone is responsible for this, I don''t know when or how, but someone did this...or someone Turn this building into something like ''this''." "So, you are saying that, there''s someone inside that has a skill that can do this?" "..Yeah, maybe it''s something like a free manipulation on somethings, or the same with Yuki''s skill, not sure but it''s something close to that." "..Alright, looks like we are going for a messy way. Oh, and what about the possible numbers of the people inside, cause I''m really expecting a fight at the moment we get in here, but to my surprise, we didn''t get any resistance at all. maybe they are all preparing inside." "..Oh, about that. Their numbers, I didn''t got their exact numbers but, all I can say is, there''s a lot of them up there, too many. When I was examining the whole building earlier, I''m picking up a lot of sound vibration of their footsteps, my estimation is, maybe over fifty at least." "..Wow, that many huh? haha, looks like this is going to be a big battle huh?" "..but the thing is, they are all scattered in each and every floor, and base on their movements, some of them are just walking around and some are running really fast and..... I also detected some footsteps in...in the ceiling, I-i don''t know, it''s weird, I don''t understand it." "...Hmm, Maybe they are warming up and setting some traps, but you can just detect them all later once we get in and we''ll handle the rest, don''t worry about it too much, even if their numbers are much greater than us, remember that we still have a stronger card that will give us a sure win, alright? just sit there and relax for a moment, I''ll tell them about it and have them prepare, were blasting in later." "..*Sigh* Alright, Whatev- ...Huh? Wait, it changed! " "...What?..what changed?" "..The building! I barely feel it but it''s close, I feel the change, something moved." "..I-i don''t get it, What ch-.." "...A..Anzai-san!" Suddenly, their conversation was cut off by one of his subordinate that hurriedly call him from his back, causing him to stop talking in the middle of their conversation and look to who it is. "..Huh? Oh Eizo, what is it?" "..A-a stair, a stair suddenly appears, I- I can''t explain it but. You need to see this, hurry up." said by the guy named Eizo while gesturing for them to hurry. "Alright let''s go." ... "..Where the hell did that come from?" ask by the muscular guy named Anzai "..I don''t know, it''s definitely not there earlier when I checked the whole building." When they arrived at the front of the building, they saw a long and big stairs that leads to the second floor of the building, at the end of the stairs, it has a Massive Door that looks like it was made of stone but it has an elegant design that make it looks like it was a door to a palace. They all climb the stairs and stop at the massive door in front of them. "..What the heck is this?" "Hey look, something is written in it." They saw a big glowing tombstone in front of the door, at first, it looks like that, some ancient runes are carved all over it, but if you look closely, you''ll see that it''s nothing but full of }:?), (TT), :-!, :-$, o:-), :?X written in it, when they look at it carefully, they saw that there''s a stone tablet in the bottom of it and something is written in it. "..Hmm, it''s written in English. I can''t read Romaji (Alphabet)." "..Me also, I can read a little but, I''m not confident enough." ".. Shimura, you can read and understand English right?" "..Yeah, I can." "..Then, please do read this." "..Yeah, sure. Okay let me see. Umm, it says that... Hello my brave and dear adventurers. Welcome to the great and oh so beautiful "Paradise and Safe Dungeon" the only dungeon that has the most safest names, the name of this dungeon is totally not a scam at all, it''s really safe and it''s like a Paradise inside it, nothing but full of cute bunnies and flying pigs, so don''t hesitate to go in, go on, don''t be scared, it has a lot of treasures in it you know? it''s full of gold, and a bunch of legendary items, you want a Legendary Gun that can blow up the entire moon? we have it in here, or maybe a sword that can shatter the whole heaven? as cringe as F*ck, but we also have it in here. Everything you desire we have it here, even your favorite waifu is in here, this is not a bait for you to come in so please don''t hesitate. Have I said that, This dungeon has Fifty floors, each floor has a boss, after you kill the boss, you can advance to the next floor, don''t worry, the boss will do nothing but cuddle you to death so worry nothing, and if you manage to clear all the floor, defeat the last boss and reach the top floor, you will be granted a Three Wishes. So great deal right you definitely don''t want to miss this chance. Anyway, Have fun on clearing the dungeon. That''s all it says." "What the F*ck was that?" "Who wrote this thing? hey are you sure that, that was the exact thing that was written in here?" "... Of course, what made you think that I made that all up huh?" "..*Sigh* I cant understand what is happening anymore, Shimura, can you scan the whole building again? see if you can see anything inside." ".. I have done it already, but I can''t feel anything inside anymore, I can only feel the exterior part of the building but the inside, my skill can''t reach it, like something is blocking my skill." "..Alright, let''s plan things out first before we go inside, it looks like they were ready to welcome us so let''s also prepare. The enemies inside has a greater number than us so we can''t recklessly go inside, given the fact that they have someone who can make something like this in an instant. it''s still dangerous, but as long as we plan this out carefully, then I can assure you all that we will, conquer this whole building and make it ours." """"..YEAH! """"" (¡Á20) "..Savor your every moment because it won''t be for long." Said by the muscular guy named Anzai as he looks at the doors while having a scary smile on his face. ... At the top of the building, Ray can be seen, eating some Marshmallows while watching his ''guests'' down below the building. "...Weird, is that supposed to be their leader?..... He looks stupid." Said by Ray as he stuff some Marshmallows in his mouth before vanishing from the rooftop. _____________________________________________________ Housewarming Party ___________________________________________ (Tokyo, Japan) ... In the middle of Tokyo. There is a certain building that has a really weird structure. At the bottom of it, you can also see a bunch of people wearing some armors, robe, and weird clothes that look like they were about to fight in a war. If you look at them, It looks like they were having a small meeting. They have all gathered around and the muscular guy in the middle that looks like the leader was saying something to them, and they were all seriously listening to whatever he is saying. All of them are all holding different kinds of weapons. The combinations of their weapon are really peculiar cause if you observe their weapons, it looks like, some of it is really medieval. cause some of them are holding some swords, spear, a big ass shield, and a bow. Some of them are holding some normal Guns, which is pretty normal. But if you turn your gaze to the others, you will find it really weird cause some of them are holding some types of equipment that looks like a really High-tech. They even have a Gun that looks like it will fire off a laser blast at any moment, and a Glowing metal box, and many more. Even if their pieces of equipment looks really fancy, the expressions on their faces are really serious, you can''t even see a smile on their faces. But even if they do smile, that will only make them look more terrifying than they already are, added to that was their not so friendly faces that full of scars and ready-to-kill like expressions. Even the vibe or the atmosphere they are having was really tense. While all this seriousness is happening, at the top of the building they were in; One man is having the time of his life. He was obviously Ray, he sitting on a chair, holding a glass of wine while enjoying the feeling of being under the sun. Of course, even though it''s Noon and the Sun was really at the peak of it, he was not bothered by the heat cause he is lowering the temperature around him. He is just enjoying the Sunlight while looking at the view of the ruined city in front of him. *Sip.* "..Aaah, this is life. This is really relaxing and so peacefu-" "RAAAAAAA!!!!" Suddenly, a flying giant Monster that looks like a creepy version of Pterodactyl, approached him from his back. "RAAAA-" *Boom!* But the moment it got close to him. The monster''s head suddenly disappears like, it was not there in the first place, there''s not even a trace of blood. After its head disappeared, the body continuously rushes towards Ray due to the momentum of its flying, but it crashed into some invisible wall before it reaches him. Several cracking noises can be heard due to the strong impact. Suddenly, the body of the monster was thrown away by some unknown force and landed on the rooftop of the other building. [ You have killed a pawn ] [ +82 Exp ] *Sip* ".... Ahh, as I said, it''s really Relaxing and so Peac-" "KRAAAAAA!!!" Suddenly, another monster approaches him from the back. ".. GODDAMMIT!" ... A couple of hoursYou might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version. later. Ray was still sitting at the top of the building while having a deadpan expression, the glass of wine he was holding was long gone already. If you look at the rooftop of the building near him, you can see a mountain of dead monsters in there. "*Sigh*, they are really taking their time, aren''t they? I''m starting to get bored already. Oh, man.??" .... Another Hour has passed, and the chair that where Ray is sitting was also now gone. You can see him, floating and rotating around the air while having a really boring expression. The mountain of Dead Monsters on the nearby Rooftop of the building has also increased. *Long Sigh* "..They are taking too much time. Oh my god, what are they doing down there? Aaag Damnit, if they take another hour, I swear to God, I''ll- hmm?.." While floating up in the air, he noticed something. He immediately activates his ''Krost Eyes''. His vision suddenly burst forward and travel a couple of kilometers away. When his vision finally picks something, he saw five Military Helicopters going towards his way. "..Hmm, is it about the thing that happened earlier? they are too early, aren''t they? I''m expecting them to come here maybe in a couple of days or at least tomorrow but not now especially because of things that had happened yesterday. I thought that they will be busy for a while now but, guess not huh. *sigh.* Now, what to do.??" He landed back to the Rooftop of his building and started to think about some changes to his original plan. ".. Hmmm.." ''. System.'' [ Unavailable ] [ The System will be Accessible again once the System Upgrade is done. ] [ The Host will be notified once the System Upgrade is done. ] [ Current Status of the System. ] {======================} [-----------15%] (Upgrading....) [ Estimated time 58:22:19 ] {======================} *Sigh* "Of course. Don''t know what I''m expecting from that." Ray looks up to the sky and thinks about something. ''.. Now that the military is here, what should I do? Hmm, think something good come on.'' He stays like that for a couple of minutes. But when he was about to give up, he suddenly remembers something. "..Hmm??, I think that could work. I can still do the original plan If this could just...." Ray started to make revisions of it so it can fit his current plan. "..Yeah, let''s go with that. If they could just- ... Hmm, Oh?" He suddenly felt something and immediately goes to the side of the Rooftop. He looks down on and saw a bunch of people, gathering in front of his building. ".. Oh, they''re finally going in. Just right on time." He looks at his back to see that the Military Helicopters are already on sight. ".. Alright. Let''s freaking do this" He said while clasping and rubbing his both hands together. And immediately vanish from the Rooftop. ..... At the front of the building, a bunch of rowdy people was gathered. ".. Shimura, is it still not working?" Ask by the muscular guy named Anzai to the girl on his side. ". Wait, let me check." The girl named Shimura put her hands on the wall and closes her eyes for a moment. After a while, she opens her eyes again and looks to Anzai while shaking her head. ".. No, it still not working. Maybe it should work once we get inside." ".. Alright. Everyone, prepare yourself. We have rested enough, prepare enough. Time has finally come. If we failed to do this, so be it. At least, we have tried our best to survive until now. But if we succeed, the prize will be worth the risks." He turns back and goes towards the big Door in front of him. He touches it lightly, and suddenly give it a heavy push. *DUUGGSS!!!* The Big Door slowly opens and reveals a pitch Black room behind it. The light that comes from the outside when they open the door is not even enough to light up the way. "..Now my brothers and sisters! Positions! Rise up your shield and weapons! Be alert!" Anzai shouted back to the people behind him. They immediately position themselves. The shield guys are in the front and the ones that are holding the bows, guns, and the ones that have the attack skills are in the middle and the back, and the rest are being the vanguard. They slowly move towards the inside of the building. *DOOM!* When they all get inside, the door suddenly closes itself. "ON GUARD!" They immediately lit up their Flashlights and look if someone is coming to ambush them but they didn''t see anyone, but they all felt that someone is watching them. They can''t see that much because their vision is really limited. ".. Shimura, can you use it now?" Anzai asked. ".. Let me try." Shimura crouched down to the floor and put her hand on it. After a while, she stands up again and looks at Anzai. ".. Yeah, but only to this floor. I can''t reach the third and the other floors. It''s the same on the outside." "Alright, that''s enough for now. What did you see, is someone here?" ".. Yeah, I saw them. They are moving towards this direction. It must be the noise, they must have been alerted. But it will take a while for them." "What do you mean?" "Well, this floor is big. like really wide, and also. It''s like a maze. There are so many paths in here so. It''s not easy to go somewhere, even if they know where to go. But we need to be careful. There are many of them here, but they are all scattered. But the majority of them are at least, grouped into two, they are moving with partners. They are continuously moving and really fast, either they know this place really well or they have the equipment to help them see in the dark like night visions." "..Hmm, alright. Did you saw where is the right path we should go?" ".. of course, I do. I have scanned this area already once, and I still remember it." Said by Shimura while looking proud to herself. ".. Alright, that''s good. Show us the way." "..A''ight." As they go further inside, they can see how big the floor is. They haven''t encountered someone yet, but they are always hearing some strange noises as they go further. They are walking at a really slow pace as Anzai keeps asking Shimura to check the area they are in for some possible ambush and traps for every ten of meters they walked. Shimura keeps saying that it will be fine but Anzai keeps asking him and saying that they must have blocked her ability for a moment and decided to do it once they got close so he asks her periodically to check whenever he felt suspicious. "..Alright, but this is the last time Okay? I''m saying that it will be fine. And also, my skill is a "Skill". It''s not unlimited did you forgot about that? I have also a unique drawback, it''s just that, it''s much lighter than the others. And also, we still have a bunch of floors left to go. There is even a floor where we need my skill the most and trust me, you don''t want my skill to be exhausted already once we get there." ".. Alright, alright. Just one last time, it''s okay." "..Ugh." Shimura tiredly crouched down again and sense the area. But she suddenly tensed up and stands up immediately and look hurriedly to Anzai. ".. They''re coming! In that direction and they are fast! There are at least ten of them! Be careful!" They all immediately get on their guards and light up the direction where she pointed. Anzai raised his Spear and so are the others. ".. Alright, finally. Bring it on." __________________________________________________ Housewarming Party 2/- ______________________________________________ (Tokyo, Japan) ..... ".. Alright finally, Bring it on." As they all got ready for what is about to come, they all stayed still in their positions. They didn''t wait that long until they finally heard some multiple big footsteps accompanied by some strange noises coming from the pointed direction. When they heard this, they all frowned and tensed up more than they already are. "It''s Coming!" shouted by the guy in front. When it''s close enough, they finally saw the silhouettes of the thing that is approaching them. "Oy, i-IS That?" ".. It''s a Monster! How come there''s a monster here!?" They were all surprised as they saw the creatures that is approaching them. "..Get Ready!" Tugudug! Tugudug! Tugudug! " RAAAAA!" Suddenly, A four-legged monster jumped out of the shadows and lunches towards the group. It was followed by the other monsters as well as they lunches themselves towards the group of people in front of them. But they were not fazed by this as they were only surprised to see some monsters inside the building. They fought and killed different kinds of monsters already, they are used to this kind of surprise attacks by the monsters as they were fighting this kind of creatures for about a month already. If you evaluate them, you can say that they were already experts at dealing with this kind of stuff. "Alright! Let''s go!" "HAAAAA!" ".. DIE, BASTARDS!" The Shield guys in front didn''t waste any time as they charged towards the monsters as well and use the monster''s momentum to smash their shield towards them. As their shield made a contact with the monster, they were blown back violently due to the force and hit the other charging monsters as well. """.. R-RRAAAAAA!!!""" But the monsters quickly recovered and even more angry as they immediately charged again towards the guys that are holding the shields. WOOSSHH!! ""RAAAAA-"" *PIKSH!* The two monsters in the front that were about to lunch towards them were suddenly struck by an arrow that looks like it was made of light, it completely passes through their heads as it obliterates it in the process. "F*cking monsters!" "ROOOOOWWRRR!" The other monsters also charged towards them but they were confronted by the guys that are wielding Swords and Spears. The fight with the monster didn''t last long as the battle turned completely one-sided, the monsters didn''t even have a chance towards the group. ".. Shimura, what in the hell was that?" Anzai asked ".. I don''t know. how am I supposed to know that there are monsters in here? You already know that I can only point their positions but not exactly what they are. Actually it does make sense now, the strange movements that I saw earlier. No wonder they are so fast, and their weird positions. Wait, that means this whole building might be full of monsters on each floor. But how? and but why?" Shimura said as she was starting to realize the things she saw earlier. ".. Maybe it''s their way of defense? Then, if what you''re saying is true, that means. The message that we saw outside is?" ".. I don''t know. Maybe that only meant as a joke, i-i''m not sure." " Hmm, Alright. It''s no use thinking about it now. Let''s just think about this later once we find a safe area, we should keep going for now." ".. Alright." They all agreed and were about to go but suddenly, the people in the front noticed something, and once again, they stop their movements. "Anzai-san, there''s more coming up ahead!" Said one of the Shield guys in front. "..Alright, get ready!" They raised their defenses and prepare for what is about to come but suddenly, they also heard something is approaching them at their back.If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. "I-I think there''s also one at the back!" said the guy wielding a sword. "... TCH! GO! Formation C! Tankers Divide your Positions!" Anzai Shouted They all quickly move, they go to their planned position in just a couple of seconds. There''s not even a hesitation on their movements like they already marked where they are going before. Their positions look so different, the guys that are holding the shield are on both sides, but if you look at the others. It looks like they were just scattered in the whole area but the looks on their faces are saying that it was the planned Formation. ".. We''ll go later, but we''ll deal with this first!" Anzai shouted as the others also readied their weapons. "" rooooWAAAAA!!!!!! "" As the incoming monsters, lunch towards them. The guys that are holding the shield immediately intercept them by bashing them through their shields. Some of the monsters manage to get pass through them and tried to attack them from their backs but they were easily killed by the ones that are supporting behind them. "..GAD! THERE''S SO MANY OF THEM!" ".. URK! THEY KEEP COMING AND COMING ALL OVER AGAIN!" ".. SH*T! THEY''RE ENDLESS!" ".. THEY ARE MUCH MORE THAN WE EXPECTED!" As the battle goes on, the number of monsters also keeps increasing. Some of the monsters were slightly strong and manage to push back the tanks some are even dealing some damage to them. Some of the attacks managed to slip pass trough the shields or failed to be blocked due to the number of the monsters attacking them, causing them to be hit directly at their bodies. Good thing that they are wearing heavy armors that help on blocking the attacks, or if not, they would have received some damage or injuries or in the worst-case scenario, they would have received a direct fatal attack that would put them in danger. ".. YOU SONOVA B*TCH!" " DIEE!!! *BOOM!!* ".. Urgk!! These BASTARDS! ..... Oh-OH NO! WATCH OUT! While the Tanks are having a hard time fighting off the horde of monsters that are continuously coming at them like there''s no tomorrow. Some of the monsters ignore the tanks and run towards the guys at the back but they also confronted them. Wielding their swords, spear, and the ones that are using bows and guns that are maintaining their position as they fight the incoming monsters in a far distance, they all fight together and tried to push back the monsters as the battle goes on. Meanwhile, while this battle is happening. You can see a dozen of Military helicopters are flying outside while encircling the whole building. (A/N: Let me just butt in for a second. Just in case you didn''t know. I changed the number of Military helicopters from Five to Twelve. I just thought that the number of Military Helicopters was a bit low considering the danger and there''s also the flying monsters so if this was in a real-life scenario, I think that the military will send more than that or otherwise it will just be close as a suicide mission. That''s all. :) *Chissk!* (A/N: It''s a Radio sound.) Radio 1: [ We''ve arrived at the location, Over.] *Chissk!* Radio 2: [ Alright, Clean out the Area. ] *Chissk!* Radio 1: [ Roger that. ] Two Military Helicopters have broken off from the formation and start to scout around the area. Not long after that, multiple Gunshots and Sounds of Roaring monsters can be heard. *Chissk!* Radio 3: [ Sir, Multiple Flying Hostiles have been spotted. ] *Chissk!* Radio 2: [ What''s the position. ] *Chissk!* Radio 3: [ 3 o''clock around 2 klicks, Sir. ] (A/N: Klick means km ) *Chissk!* Radio 2: [ Alright, Prepare to intercept them. ] *Chissk!* Radio 4: [ Sir. The area has been cleaned. The heaven has been set. Over] *Chissk!* Radio 2: [ Alright deploy the Joes and have them secure a safe area for the main bird.] *Chissk!* Radio 1, 6, 8: [ Roger that.] Three helicopters have also broken the formation and fly lower down the area. The Three Helicopters slowly landed in the area in front of Ray''s building. The soldiers inside the Helicopters have immediately hop out and position to guard and secure the area. The three helicopters that have landed, immediately fly off to the sky, circle around the area. Radio 2: [ Alright, it''s time. Serve now the main bird.] Radio 9: [Roger that.] All the helicopters moved around the area but they didn''t leave the vicinity. They all stay up in the air except for the biggest helicopter. The helicopter slowly lands on the area where the previous soldiers are, the soldiers that are positioned in guarding the area slowly approached the landing helicopter and stays near it. When the helicopter completely landed, the ramp door behind it slowly opened and soldiers from inside came rushing out and took their positions. "... Hmm, is this the place? What''s up with that weird-ass building." Followed by the soldiers, a big Middle-aged man came out. He had white hair and a white beard, he had an extremely big build body and has a height around 193 cm. He had a big scar on his left cheek and an eye-patch on his right eye. He is wearing a Full Golden Shiny armor that looks like it is made of a pure combination of gold and silver. It has a very fancy design that can put the most famous blacksmith into shame. He doesn''t look like a Japanese. He looks like, he came from somewhere in Europe. "... That weird-ass building is our Next Assignment. *Sigh*~ Honestly.." Next to him was a beautiful lady. Her hair was dyed red, She was wearing a beautiful golden earing that is glowing for some reasons. For a woman, she was considerably tall, around 180 cm. Although you can barely notice it due to the fancy red-magical-looking-robe she was wearing that''s covering her whole entire body, she has an extremely athletic body and a very fair skin. "... Hahaha, you already know what Captain is like during the meetings. He always sleeps halfway and doesn''t give a shit to what that old man is saying." At the back of them, a group of people that are also wearing different kinds of fancy armor, robe, and clothes, can be seen. They also have different kinds of weapon but unlike the others, their weapons are more different than the usual teams that someone would see on televisions. It is more, extravagant, intimidating, and unique. "... HAHAHAHA!"(x13) After the other guy says that, a burst of laughing comes next. ".. Ugh! you''re so noisy, SHUT UP!" Said by the Middle-Aged man that was said to be their captain. *TUD!* *TUD!* *TUD!* *TISH!* ".. Here''s your walking stick old man." Someone walk next to him, he was a really big man, slightly bigger than him, for about 50 cm. He was also wearing a glamourous looking armor and was holding a big halberd and a two-handed golden battle-axe on his both hands. He handed the Battle-axe towards his captain and he immediately takes it from him. ".. Haa~, my baby." said by the captain while caressing his battle-axe. *Chissk!* Radio 2: [ Can you hear me, Over?] He was suddenly brought back to reality by the sound of his communicator. ".. Loud and clear Major." Said by the captain as he looks up to the helicopter in the sky and waves his hand. Radio 2: [ All right, start the mission and you need to finish this before the dawn. Do you understand? ] ".. Uhh, What was the mission again?" Said by the captain as he scratches the back of his head in confusion. The people on his back chuckles and shakes their heads, while the girl on his side had facepalmed while looking at their captain. Radio 2: [ ..... *Sigh* You need to communicate with the survivors inside the building and try to bring them back here with you at the camp, whatever the cost is. But remember, don''t take an aggressive approach unless it is needed, and also try to find the missing drones and retrieve them back here at the camp. It must be somewhere near the area.] ".. Wait, why did you have to send us for such a lame mission? I thought this would be an exciting one?" Radio 2: [ Didn''t you remember? After the meeting earlier, I asked you if you and your team will be taking this mission and you said yes to me so don''t ask me why. ] ".. Wait I did?" Sid by the captain in disbelief. " You were sleeping the whole time in the meeting captain, and when the major asked you about the mission. You immediately woke up and say yes without knowing what the mission is." Said by the woman beside her, with a deadpan expression. "Really?" Still not believing it, he looks towards the rest of his team. " ¡¥\_(¥Ä)_/¡¥ " They all have the same responses. ".. Oh, is that so? Alright then. Let''s do this." Radio 2: [ Good, you need to finish this mission before the night comes. And also, I don''t need to say this to you guys but, Stay safe. It was reported that a lot of Hostiles activity was spotted in that area so always be alert. Good luck. ] "Don''t worry major, as we will finish this mission with flying colors. Just trust us, we are the Elite team for no reason Hahaha! This mission will be super Easy for u-" *BOOOOM!!!!!* Suddenly while he was talking to his communicator, he was cut off by the sound of an explosion from the side of the building in front of them. The explosion was so strong that almost half of the lower side of the building was destroyed. Radio 2: [ Oy Sakamura! What was that explosion! OY SAKAMURA! Don''t you dare cut off the-] The captain turned off his communicator and surprisingly also did the others, he looks back to his team while having a wide smile on his face. "... Let''s begin the mission. Shall we?" ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
