The Divine Government has been around ever since the birth of the Magic Era. This council formed of twenty members used oversee and control all the magic in the nation. After the war between the Earth and the planet Noxy, the Divine government was formed to stop all future wars and represent the original twenty members who sacrificed their lives to stop the war. But not all good things last forever. Members of the council die and new ones from the highest ranking members are chosen to replace them.
But for the past decade, the members which made up the Divine Government had become corrupt. Friends and family of members who were incapable of ruling the nation had taken over. Every action they take and every law they pass is only done to benefit themselves. As technology advanced, the rich became richer and the poor became poorer. The Divine Government only supported the rich, industrial businessmen whilst the poor suffered.
'The Process' was put in place to unearth the best human beings that are capable of magic. Nobody knew how challenging 'The Process really is, hence why people train all their skills, instead of concentrating on one...
For people like Siege Damon, the only solution was to possess the power of magic and become respected as a Magic User.

[Quests Unlocked]
The notification appeared in front of Siege followed by the robotic voice of the system.
"Woah"
"Blood Mage" Siege commanded, opening up The System. He noticed the new tab at the top of the screen next to the 'Stats' section.
[Complete Quest 1 to unlock Experience Points and Leveling System]
[Quest 1: Run Ten Miles]
The quest notification was followed by 'The Voice' which explained the task further:
[User: Siege Damon must run one mile within the next 12 hours]
[Failure to complete Task One will result in a penalty]
[Penalty: User: Siege Damon will not be permitted to access the task for 24 hours]
[Reward: 5 Experience Points]
[XP: 0/50]
Siege listened intently to the voice and a grin appeared on his face
"Run ten mile within the next 12 hours, huh?" Siege whispered. "Sounds easy enough"
He knew he could complete the task. He knew how the leveling system worked. If he were to level up, The System would make him stronger. "I need all the power I can get to pass" Siege whispered as he prepared to complete the task.

After he ran a mile, a progress report notification appeared on the side of his screen screen. Siege opened the progress report:
[Congratulation! User: Siege Damon has completed 1/10 of Quest 1]
As he jogged around a field, he came to realize something:
Siege didn't know how the Blood Stone (which is what he chose to call it) gave him The System, but he was grateful nevertheless. Since he had been given this unique gift, Siege had decided to use it to its full potential...
Siege had been running all around the town only taking few short breaks. He knew The System wanted him to build his endurance. Everything he did was preparation for 'The Process'
[User: Siege Damon has completed 9/10 of Quest 1]
A few minutes later, Siege stood in front of the entrance to the town, covered in sweat. His hair looked as if it he had been caught in a heavy storm. His lose shirt was clinging to his back. He was eager to go home and take a shower...
[Congratulations!]
[You have completed Quest One]
[User: Siege Damon has completed 100% of Quest One]
[You have been rewarded 5 Experience points]
Siege let out a sigh of relief. He slowly started to make his way home, every muscle in his body aching...
