Samira's dark-brown shoulder length dreads was drenched in blood and sweat as she ran through the damn tomb she was trapped in. "Fuck! I should've never trusted those damn bastards!" She grinds her teeth as flashes of a smirking older man that looked to be in his mid 60s plagued her mind. He was an administrator in this damn game. She even helped him become one of the best. Sammie slashed her way through spider after spider. She fucking hated spiders! He knew this, which is why he sent her and her team into this hell hole. She didn't know that the bastard Richard Wellington had set her up long ago because of that bitch Suzuki Akira. They had struck a deal to get rid of the crazed dog and mad dog beside them together. That was why she was being chased by a hunter and spiders. A giant spider the size of a Great Dane finally caught up to her. Chomp! The blood curdling scream Sammie let out echoed off the walls. The spider had ripped off her right leg. "Damn it all!" She swung wildly. The spider jumped back but it didn't get hit.
[You have been inflicted with paralysis]
Samira felt as if lead had entered her body but she had to keep moving. 'Damned spider'. She cursed in her mind as she found a small opening in the wall. She used the remaining of her powers to teleport there.
[You have used the remaining of your trickster ability to escape the enemy.]
Samira scoffed. "If you're keeping an eye on me help me!"
[The trickster god has turned his eyes away from you.]
She clicked her tongue knowing who it had to be. Her leg was gone. The spider was trying to dig through the hole. Her powers are gone. Samira couldn't do anything but laugh. "You damn Administrators! I swear if I get another chance I'll take everything you got! You won't live a peaceful life!" She screamed into the void. The spider had burst its way in with a few friends. 'Shit!' She went to grab her knife, but [you have been inflicted with paralysis.] [You have become paralyzed without the protection of a God.] Samira couldn't do anything, but lay there as they consumed her. 'Ah my eyes are going..', she thought when she saw a four-eyed raven. It was watching her.
[Human you have entered the gate of gluttony. I can save you. If you say yes I can tell you my name.]
Samira didn't trust the gods that made this game, but if it could save her then she'd gladly take it. 'What are you waiting for? The God of trickery has left me; I'll contract with you!'
[Remember my name human, Rhydur]
A blinding light engulfed everything. It felt warm as Samira Johnson died that night in the gate of Gluttony.
Samira was sitting in her seat with her head leaning against her hand. Bored, she was bored in her class when she suddenly fell out of her seat screaming in pain. She felt herself being eaten alive as her memories came flooding to her. The pain was so intense that her professor had rushed her to the campus clinic. Her head was pounding when she was awoken. Ping! New message! Samira rubbed her eyes as she saw a blue screen popped up in front of her.

A smirk crept onto her face. 'Oh? That Raven is more useful than I thought!' Samira sat up taking in the information she was given plus where she ended up in the past. It was 2015 right now. She was in college at this time. Gates, tombs, trials, and the game tutorial has yet to fully start at this time. But there were small trials and tombs that popped up.
"I guess the Raven is telling me to glob up everything.", grinning Samira thought that was a wonderful idea. "It also looks like I can contract with others. If I get the black card that would mean I'd be contracting Thiies, God Of The Dark." In the past, people thought Thiies was the God of Death since the monarch of death had contracted with him. But, they were wrong. He had contracted with the god of Dark which in turn gave him the power of the shadows more so than the god of trickery. She tsked. That's why her powers never worked on him. He could upgrade his powers as well, not many could do that which led him to unlocking the necromancy skill. Well if she could find this god first she could claim it. Samira licked her lips. "It looks like I'm going to become a thief this lifetime.
Ping! Ping! Notification has been sent! Sammie looked up at the blue screen only she could see for now.

This trial is to prepare the player for a path unknown.
Days to complete: 20 days]
Sammie groaned loudly. Now that she thinks about it, she always hid in the shadows and assassinated people. She didn't have one fighting ability! How did she survive until now?! Is that why she died to spiders?! Then the problem is to complete this in 20 days. Is that because the abilities she had required a lot to use? Maybe, but that didn't matter. She knew how to gain the lower level skills like phantom hands, dexterity, medical knowledge, and spy. But, defense, fighting, and tolerance will be troublesome.
First she had to get rid of this problem. After spending about an hour talking to the doctor, she convinced them that she was ok. She made up some lie that she got intense cramps and it made her pass out.
[Player Samira Johnson has gained the ability speech-craft due to lying about condition to the doctors.]
She just chuckled seeing that massage. It was just a matter of time before she got that skill again. Humming Sammie made her way to the library.
Students gawked and shuddered at the amount of books one table had in the middle of the library. 'The Laws of Medicine', 'Medical Chemistry', 'Medical Science', etc etc. Different books like that were scattered across the table.
Ping! Ping! Ping!
The sound of notification after notification came up.
[Player has gained the ability of Medical Knowledge. Skill Healing hands Rank F has been learned.]

Sammie smirked. She had spent 2 days doing this and it had finally paid off. She stretched before returning the book. Next she needed to gain a few more abilities before trying a small trial she knows will show up.
Three more days had passed and Samira was finally ready to face Thiies's trial.
