[Greetings #09182!]
Huh? The hell is this thing? I look at the screen that appeared in front of me and by looking at the reactions of the others in the class, I assume everybody else also has this screen in front of them. I was curious about this screen when it started speaking again.
[The Peace period for planet #019192491241, A.K.A Earth, has ended! The Thrones will descend! Chaos will ensue!]
My mouth started twitching as I had a very bad feeling about this, and it seems I was right. The screen came up again.
[Monsters will appear! They will consume! They will kill!]
A few pictures suddenly popped up in front of me. They showed many different types of monsters that were killing and eating humans everywhere. I wasn't sure if this was currently happening as of right now, but seeing the scenes, I guess it is.
[Humans will now increase their strength! For survival! I am the Throne Assistance System! Everybody has a chance to get a Throne! If they are strong enough, that is!]
The screen laughed eerily and I felt goosebumps form on my arms from it. I looked around the classroom and most people were panicking and shouting, but nobody is getting up. I tried to sit up, but my body felt as if it was glued to the chair.
[The Tutorial will now begin! Everybody can access their own personal Interface by thinking System! There will be multiple options appearing then, which are all useful! The first mission will begin shortly!]
Tutorial, huh? I guess I should look at this System thing. I don't know how long I got, but I sure as hell am not gonna waste my time panicking like an idiot. System.
[Status

Shop

Looking at the four options, I instantly realize it is programmed like a game, which makes it a lot simpler. I move my finger a press the Status tab.

It really is like a game huh~ I wonder if I can see what the stats do? I mean, I can guess from games, but it will be better to see it for myself. Maybe the screen will tell me later? Well, let's check the other tabs now. Lets go with the Missions one now.
[No Missions Active. Tutorial Not Yet Began.]
Oh. Well whatever. If I think about it, having a mission now would be weird... Well lets check the shop out.
[Weapons
-Armor
-Food
-Misc]
Another four options~ Well they all make sense, just like a games shop. Let's check and see what things are in all them though~
[No Weapons Available. Tutorial Not Yet Began.]
[No Armor Available. Tutorial Not Yet Began.]
[No Food Available. Tutorial Not Yet Began.]
[No Misc Available. Tutorial Not Yet Began.]
...I should of figured. Why would anything be available when the tutorial hasn't began yet? Stupid me~ Lets look at that Throne option~
[#09182 has not obtained a Throne. Option is unavailable.]
Oh~ At least it is different that the others. Is that number my identity or something? Well, who cares. I look around and notice that a few people are looking into the space ahead of them blankly while pointing every now and then, so I figure they are checking out the stuff as well.
There are also these morons that are crying to themselves instead of using their time to check the System. How stupid. They will all die first. Idiots.
[Alrighty~ Time is up! The tutorial will now begin! Get ready for the first mission! Hehe~]
Hearing that happy laugh, I already know somebody is gonna die, so I look around the classroom warily.
[Mission #1.
-Survive the Goblin Attack.
-Time Limit: 30 minutes.
-Rewards: 10 points. 10 xp.
-Failure Penalty: Death.]
Goblin attack? What damn goblins? I look around the whole classroom and don't see any goblins. I also look outside the window but I still don't see anything. Where are they? I notice a few others looking around as well, but they don't find anything either.
Since I can stand up now, I get off the chair and look around for anything that can be used as a weapon. A few smart people do the same as me, so I quicken my search, I found a broom in one of the lockers in the room, so I grab it and smash off the broom part.
The broom turned into a shitty wooden spear, but at least I can stab stuff with this and do something. I look around and inspect what the other people found.
One other person found another broom and did the same thing as me, while a couple others grabbed stuff that have sharp points like rulers. Hell, one even picked up his damn chair.
I look at the mission timer and notice that it has already been 2 minutes but nothing has happened, so I have a very bad feeling. A few people went towards the class doors to open them. Seeing that, I hurriedly walked towards a corner within the room, just in case.
When they open the doors, nothing happens at first so people thought it was safe and got up and headed towards the doors as well. I didn't, though. I stayed within the corner from before. I can feel a deep sense of danger coming from the hallway. I don't know why I can, but I chose to trust it.
"Hey! Come on everyone, lets head to where more people are! There is nothing out here!"
A person who opened the door shouted to the others. A few others who looked outside the hallway also called over, so most of the people left their seats or corners and headed over to the door to join the others.
I shake my head and stay in my corner. I notice that there are 3 other people who weren't stupid enough to head to the hallway. One was by herself in a corner, while the other two guys were whispering to each other near the blackboard.
It just had to be lunch time, so the teacher wasn't at the class. If he was here, at least people wouldn't be this stupid. Maybe. The people at the door finally decided to leave the classroom and enter the hallway, so I payed attention to them again.
When the first person walks out to the hallway, nothing happens. As such, more and more people left the classroom and entered the hallway. Eventually, all those at the doors entered the hallway and started walking towards the gym. Nobody bothered with the four of us who stayed in the classroom.
I simply snorted to myself and leaned against the wall. They would be back soon, and they will be damn scared. If there wasn't any danger, why the hell would the screen tell us to survive a goblin attack with no goblins? They have no weapons except for one of them who has a shitty broom spear.
3 minutes later the four of us left in the classroom started hearing loud and painful screams coming from the hallway. There were sounds of running and the screams got louder and louder as the people got closer to the room.
I frown slightly and was about to head over and block the door, but I was too late. I barely moved 5 steps before the people who left started swarming back in. They were all covered in blood, and I noticed that 5 or 6 people who left were missing. Only 18 people got back into the classroom before people closed the door and blocked it with desks and chairs.
There were 3 people who didn't get into the classroom in time due to them being slow. They kept banging on the door and begging us to let them in, but nobody dared to open the door for some reason. I was slightly curious, so I headed closer to the doors. The other 3 who stayed did so as well.
A couple of seconds later we all heard weird grunts coming from the hall, which caused me to frown. I noticed that all the people who left, when the grunts started, they got scared as hell and started moving back with fear evident on their faces.
I instantly realized those grunts were from the goblins due to this, so I quickly backed up and got back to my corner. The girl went back to her corner while the two guys moved back slightly but still stayed near the door.
The 3 people outside the door started banging and screaming louder, but a few seconds later I heard them crying out in pain and screaming for help, but that only lasted a dozen or so seconds before it died out. We could all clearly hear squelching and gurgling sounds coming from outside the door, so I figured that their throats were ripped out or something.
Then the gurgling stopped suddenly. No noises were heard for at least a minute or two, so people started whispering to each other.
"Hey, someone go out and look if there is anything there."
"Yeah! One of you boys go open the door and peek out!"
"Why the hell does it have to be a boy, ah? Why don't a girl do it!"
"Boys are stronger!"
They started arguing quietly before it got louder, and eventually 2 people went up to the door and started to remove the desks. I recognized them as the two guys who stayed in the room at the beginning, so I frown at them.
Why the hell are they removing the desks? Since they stayed they can't be that damn stupid, can they? I look towards the girl in the other corner and she also looks at me. I can see it in her eyes that she is asking the same question I was thinking. I slightly shake my head to indicate I don't know and she looks back to the door, which I also do.
Finally, they removed all of the desks from the doors and looked at the group of people. I could hear gulping sounds and the two guys slowly opened the doors. Everybody backed up further from the doors when they began opening them. And that is when it happened.
A dagger appeared from the hallway and it stabbed straight into the chest of one of the guys. He looks downs at his chest in disbelief before he falls to the ground. Everybody started screaming loudly while trying to close the door, but they couldn't.
A bunch of children came rushing into the room. Well, if only they were children. They had green skin, bald heads and ugly ass faces. They didn't have any clothes on except for rags around their abdomens.
They all held stuff like daggers and sharp rocks, which they used on the people in the classroom. I quickly looked at the timer and realized that there as still 20 minutes left until the mission ended, so I nervously look towards the goblins.
They easily started killing the people in the classroom due to the chaos and panic. People started pushing those near them towards the goblins and tried to get away, where could they go in this small room?
The goblins easily caught up to those who kept trying to run away and started stabbing them everywhere. I was nervous so I tightly gripped my trashy wooden spear, even though I knew it wouldn't do much help.
"Stop panicking! We will all die like this! Start fighting back, god damn it! If we can kill these ugly bastards, we can live!"
Someone suddenly shouted that. I looked in his direction and noticed that it was the class leader, Ye Han. He was the one who got the other broom spear. He rushed towards a goblin while shouting loudly and stabbed his wooden spear towards it.
Since the goblin was stabbing another person and not paying attention, his wooden spear easily stabbed it. Although it is just a mere wooden spear made from a broom, it can still injure people. So, his wooden spear easily stabbed into the forehead of the goblin when it was turning around to him.
Unsurprisingly, after being stabbed in the head, the goblin made a weird noise and collapsed onto the ground. I don't know if it was dead or not, but it looks damn dead to me. The room suddenly turned quiet as everybody looked at Ye Han, even the goblins looked at him and then their dead friend.
The goblins then got mad as hell and started rushing towards Ye Han, who bravely screamed at them and kept stabbing his spear in their direction. Due to his actions, the other people started cheering and picked up anything they could use as a weapon. Some grabbed rulers, some grabbed desks, some even grabbed the tables.
Seeing this, I realized it was the best time to attack. I ran towards the dead goblin and poked it with my spear. When it didn't react at all, I crouched down and picked up the thing on the ground near it. The dagger.
Right when I picked up the dagger, I felt something wrong so I looked up and saw a goblin running at me angrily. It was right in front of me and stabbing another dagger right at my head, which caused me to panic slightly. I ended up moving backwards, but since I was crouching, I ended up tripping over myself.
The goblin jumped onto me and stabbed the dagger towards my throat, but I caught the goblins hands with my own. It was strong, a lot stronger than me. The dagger kept getting closer and closer to my throat when I saw the dagger I dropped.
I reached my left hand to it while blocking the dagger with my right hand, and grabbed it. The second I grabbed the dagger, the goblins dagger was nearly touching my throat so I quickly brought my left arm up and sent it towards the goblin.
Right when the tip of the dagger touched my neck and started drawing blood, my dagger entered the goblins head. The goblin looked down at me dumbly with it's ugly face for a few seconds before it let go of the dagger, which fell right beside my neck, and it fell down on top of me.
Disgusted by the dead goblin on top of me, I quickly pushed it off of me and looked around. There are still people fighting the goblins everywhere around the room, but half of the goblins already died. Of course, the amount of people died was just as many, if not more.
I picked up the other dagger and stood up. With one dagger in each hand, I rushed towards the goblins. I stabbed one dagger into the heart of a goblin, while the other entered it's head. When a goblin rushed at me, I stabbed it's shoulder that was holding the dagger and then I stabbed it's chest.
By the time I realized what happened, the rest of the goblins were dead. Everybody was covered in blood and had injuries, but we won at least. There were only 8 of us alive now, and we all had injuries on our body. Even I got stabbed a few times when I was killing the goblins.
Two of the less injured people quickly closed the door and blocked it with desks before they joined everyone else and sat down somewhere. I sat down in my clean corner and sighed.
[Oh~ You killed all of the goblins, huh? How interesting! Due to this the mission ended earlier than expected! Now then~ Here are your rewards!]
[You have cleared Mission #1, Survive the Goblin Attack.
-You have gained 10 points.
-You have gained 10 xp.
-You have killed 6 Goblins!
-You have gained 60 xp.
-You have gained 25 Karma!]
[You have leveled up~ You gained 2 Stat Points~]
Damn, I leveled up? This really is like a game, huh. Well, if i ignore all the death and pain, at least.
[Congratulations~ You have completed the first mission, so you get a 3 hour break! Ah, let me clear all these corpses for you!]
A pale light shines on all of the dead goblins and students and their corpses just disappear, Even the blood disappeared from the room. I frown slightly to that, but I don't mind much.
[Now then~ The next mission will begin in 3 hours, so rest up! You can also check the shop~]
After that the screen shuts up and doesn't talk any more. I shrug my shoulders slightly before I bring up my Status.

Right, I got stat points. Well~ Let's put both into strength, since I need to do more damage. When I was stabbing the goblins earlier, it took me up to 5 stabs even if I hit their vital points mainly. Now that my strength is at 5, I decide to bring up the weapon shop.
[Iron Dagger: 10 points
-Iron Sword: 50 points
-Iron Spear: 65 points
-Iron Halberd: 90 points
-Iron Axe: 50 points
-Bow: 130 points]
Looking at the items and the prices, I let out a light snort and look at the 3 daggers I have. Although they are rusty, they were at least made out of Iron. I see no reason to waste my points buying an Iron Dagger when I have 3 of them right now. They may be rusty, but they still work.
Looking at the 2 hours 50 minutes left to the rest time, I decide to take a nap. The fight from earlier tired me. I don't need to worry about waking up since the screen is loud as hell. I lean against the wall and close my eyes slowly, before falling into a light sleep.
