Three days passed by. Kyle woke up and went to class. He looked at the time. Today would be the day when the world would completely change. Today, the world would be plunged into a chaos that it had no chance to avoid.
At 10.30 am, class was going on where people were looking bored with the lecture, when suddenly the sky darkened. A huge lightning flashed in the sky and Kyle took a deep breath. His eyes were blinded by a powerful glow which gradually phased away.
[Welcome to the Tutorial]
[Choose your Difficulty - Easy, Normal, Hard, Hell, Deadly]
Kyle sighed. This choice and subsequent performance was a very important stepping stone for him.
"Deadly." Kyle said without any surprise.
Kyle appeared in a room. Here he could choose the weapon. The options were many in number. Kyle calmly took a dagger.
Then he opened the door and moved inside. He found himself in the first room. The floor suddenly manipulated and transparent humanoid appeared, with a dagger in his hand.
Kyle smiled as nostalgia began to flood him. Dungeon Raiders had been one of his favorite games that he had long been obsessed with.
Immediately, Kyle clashed with the humanoid transparent being with their daggers. The two began to fight. Kyle immediately began feeling tired, however, the room was glowing and a white energy flowed into his body, relieving his stamina.
The two continued to fight and Kyle began to feel the benefits of the Leno's harsh training in the past few days really pushing him further. The fact that the energy in the room was stifling his sickness, Kyle felt he was in high spirits.
After a long fight, Kyle managed to dodge a stab from the opponent and counter attacked at a crucial position, defeating the opponent.
[+1 Attribute Points]
[+1 Skill Points]
Kyle sighed, as the white energy entered his body and freshening himself up. He looked up his status.
[Kyle Warren]
[Level 0 - Human]
[Skill - Foreknowledge]
Kyle was then transported to the second stage. Once again the floor transmorphed and a transparent opponent with a dagger appeared again.
This opponent was much more skilled than Kyle was with the dagger and immediately was put under immense pressure. However, he smiled, because this was exactly what the Tutorial was for. The constant white energy filling his body and keeping him at peak health and stamina state allowed him to compete against his opponent, even though he was under constant pressure.
As the two clashed, Kyle could feel his dagger skills were actually improving as he carefully analyzed his opponent and closing the gap between the two. The fight continued for half an hour before Kyle was finally able to improve his skill to the point of absolving the pressure completely and eventually, improving, he was able to defeat his opponent after the crazy struggle.
[+2 Attribute Points]
[+2 Skill Points]
Kyle was transported to the third stage. Once again, the fight began and once again Kyle was under a heavy disadvantage. But Kyle smiled even further.
The tutorial had appeared suddenly and every person in the world would be thrust into the tutorial. Kyle chose deathly mode, but the true fact was that this was still the tutorial. It was the biggest opportunity to grow his character, not just in terms of the points, but also in terms of sheer skill through this most perfect training room.
When Kyle finally managed to improve in real time and defeat his opponent, he suddenly felt his mind clear and he felt like the the dagger was a part of his body.
[You learned Basic Dagger Proficiency.]
[+3 Attribute Points]
[+3 Skill Points]
Kyle continued forward to the next stage. The tutorial continued for hours over hours. Kyle was now on the tenth stage. His opponent was now using dynamic skills and he was often getting heavily injured, however, after defeating the 10th stage, his body healed completely.
[Basic Dagger Proficiency improved to Intermediate Dagger Proficiency]
[You learned Basic Assassination Proficiency]
[+10 Attribute Points]
[+10 Skill Points]
Several months passed by in this tutorial for Kyle. He was now on the hundredth stage. At this point, Kyle was using the neural orb to the limit. The nanites fused to form an orb would be floating around him and quickly transform into a shield that would deflect opposing moves that would hit him.
Kyle's skills had improved like crazy. He had avoided using any of the skill points and simply focused on using the tutorial to improve and learn more and more skills.
Even though several months had passed, he wasn't worried, because Kyle knew that outside the tutorial, time hadn't passed at all. Kyle continued his path of training. At this point it was clear that he was training along the path of an assassin and stealth.
Time passed by. A year passed by. Kyle was starting to show a stubble of a beard as the time passed. He was on the 237th stage. At this moment he was totally being overwhelmed by the opponent. After constant battles, Alex finally used a powerful skill and killed his opponent, however, he too had been killed in the process.
Kyle opened his eyes and found himself floating in a white space. He sighed, his tutorial had finally ended.
[Attribute Points Collected - 27,261 Points]
[Skill Points Collected - 27,261 Points]
Kyle sighed. This was the benefit of the deathly mode. The difficulty was much, much higher, but each new stage gave more points.
Easy gets 1 attribute point per 10 stages, Normal gets 1 attribute points per 5 stages and 1 skill point per 10 stages, Hard gets 1 attribute point per 2 stages and 1 skill point per 4 stages and Hell gets 1 attribute point per stage and 1 skill point per 2 stages.
Deadly stage gave increasing attribute and skill points per stage, but the difficulty was insanely higher.
While Kyle was recollecting the information the tutorial began announcing things.
[Your performance has caught the attention of several entities who wish to offer you blessings. Perfect stealth has activated and your identity was hidden from the entities.]
When Kyle saw that, he smiled. This was the only reason he had chosen the path of assassination amd the dagger so that he could maximize his stealth to absolute perfection. Kyle knew that entity's blessing meant he would constantly be observed. However, he could not let entity's know his movements even at the cost of not obtaining a superpower, for that was what the entity's blessing was.
With his incredible amount of points, he could rival these blessings on his own, more over, there were many other things he knew off. Having the blessings of the entities was not necessarily beneficial to him.
He quickly began assigning his attribute points. Equally dividing his points between his Stealth, Speed, Strength, Physique and Intelligence stats. He did not add any attribute to his charm stat and his hidden stats couldn't be manipulated either way.
As for skill points, he had to use it now as well.
