After pressing the button, Evie's head got dizzy for a second and her vision went blurry. When it came back, she was standing in white. White, white, was all she could see. A deep voice sounded out. "Welcome to the tutorial! You have 10 minutes to ask any questions you have, all for free! Your time starts now."

…
Staring at the ticking number floating in the sky, Evie knew that she had to hurry. She did have many questions.

"Time's up." Evie found herself back in her house, still holding the blood-soaked knife. Her questions had been answered, and she understood much more now. Her world, Earth, was going through a natural process where the strongest were weeded out from the weak. The process would stop when everyone alive was above a certain point. Monsters would appear out of nowhere in waves once a month, and current animals, and a few rare plants, would evolve into monsters. The waves would get increasingly harder each month, to pressure the humans into getting stronger, and the evolved monsters would get stronger as well by consuming other monsters. Killing a monster would get you their 'mark', and each human has an individual mark as well, which you could also gain. There was a small possibility of getting a monster's skill through the mark, although it was very rare. You would also get some random stats, which corresponded to the strength of the monster.
'Status' she said in her mind. A window popped up in front of her eyes, and it moved as she did. No one else could see this window.

------------------
She knew from the tutorial that 10 was an average human, and that she could select the square bracketed words. The basic stats were pretty obvious, but she still had double checked, just in case. The two maxed out skills were from the Wabbit, and were maxed as a reward. She selected [Shadow Wabbit Mark]
[Shadow Wabbit Mark]
Belongs to Evie Larson. Gained when she killed Shadow Wabbit. Will increase Strength by 5, Health by 5, and Magical Resistance by 6 when consumed. Can be used as crafting material.
All stat increases x10 as [Reward]. Reward will work 5 times. You cannot turn it off.
[Consume?]
Evie pressed [consume]. The spiral on her hand flashed.

Health: 8+50=58
Magical Resistance: 9+60=69
'Wow, my stats are really unbalanced now. Magical Resistance won't come into play anytime soon, but it's good to have.
She pressed [Shadow Wabbit] under the monster profiles page.

Description:
The shadow wabbit is a very powerful, yet unbalanced creature. Its magical statistics are extremely high, yet the physical statistics are extremely low. Because of this, it always stays in the shadows and relies on magic to survive. It is extremely hard to kill because of its speed and skills.
