Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: The beginning

Year 2020, society continued to advance and as expected, technology was the center of everything.

However, from that year on everything began to go wrong for humanity.

Environmental catastrophes, animal extinctions, earthquakes, tsunamis, droughts... everything was going downhill, because planet Earth could not adapt to the changes.

Currently in the year 2030, the population has decreased by 12%, scientists estimate that planet Earth has less than 100 years left for its complete destruction. So the center of attention of all humanity is located in the American research where they are looking for a planet that can be inhabited by humans.

September 4, 2030, we are located in the city of Murcia in Spain, the summer is coming to an end, the days are getting shorter, and the university has just begun.

At the door of the university we can see the students entering groups all telling each other how they have done during the holidays.

But we focus on a student, who wears the headphones with the hood on. No one seems to notice the presence of this particular student.

This student is called Alex Rose, 1.86 meters tall, brown hair with black eyes, but what most catches the attention of this student is completely the lack of something striking.

He is a person you could be looking straight into the eyes, and you would perfectly still not notice his presence.

Maybe it's because of this characteristic or because of his character but Alex is a lonely person, but contrary to what many people might think, being alone is a blessing for Alex since he does not trust anyone.

After a couple of minutes, Alex finally arrived at the door of his class. Which even with the door closed you could hear the conversations of the students inside.

So as soon as the door was opened, all eyes were focused on Alex, who went straight to his place in the background in the corner of the class without paying much attention.

As soon as he sat down, the teacher of the first subject entered the door.

Teacher: Okay, please be quiet, I understand that you have just come back from the holidays and the last thing you want is to have class, but please, it's time to get serious.

And after saying that the class started. During the class, Alex could hear people still talking or even people with their mobile phone.

But the weirdest thing happened when the teacher was about to finish the class.

[ Welcome Alex to the tutorial, within 5 minutes, the world as you know it will change forever, so get ready and good luck]

When Alex saw that, the first thought that came to mind was the novels he likes to read in his spare time, where a system appears, and a fantasy world is created with monsters and magic.

Of course, the message didn't just appear to Alex, because of the reaction his teammates had. This was the deduction Alex had.

Student 1: What the hell is this?

Student 2: What is going on? Did you just see the same thing?

As expected, panic began to take control of all his companions, but while everyone was arguing, Alex was getting ready.

"The message said that the tutorial would start in 5 minutes, so it is probably because they give us time to prepare mentally or because they give you time to get to safety. Whatever it is, the first thing they should do is give us class options."

And so, Alex prepared a small plan, he would choose the class that best fit his style or the best quality. And then he would have to separate from the group and hunt as much as possible if monsters appeared.

"Of course, this plan is only viable if the monsters that come out are weak like the goblins."

And so, the 5 minutes passed.

Unsurprisingly, his peers continued to argue with each other instead of preparing.

Since the character of most humans means that when you don't understand something, blame it on the first one you see.

[ Welcome back Alex, the time to prepare is over, and now the tutorial is going to start, three classes that best fit you have been selected, you have 1 minute to choose from, and start the adventure. Good luck]

[ Palestinian (rare class): With this class, you have the power to be able to survive and help others survive. The power of a swordsman and that of a priest.

Swordsman (common class): With this class you will have the power to be one with the sword. A power that will depend on how much effort you put into it, an endless path.

Shadow Assassin (mythical class): With this class, you will have the power to be one with the shadows. A killer who once you know is present is already too late.

Please choose a class]

After reading the different classes, Alex without a second thought, chose the Shadow Assassin, he knows that he is not a hero, rather he could be considered a villain, if you consider that he only seeks his own good.

[ Are you sure to choose this class? Once chosen, it cannot be changed:

YES

NO]

[Shadow Assassin has been chosen. 3 class-specific skills have been obtained. To view your profile, say status window]

Alex: Status window

[Name: Alex Rose

Level: 1 (0/10)

Class: Shadow Assassin (Mythical class)

Subclass: None

Tittles: None

Strength: 15

Dexterity: 30

Physique: 10

Intelligence: 10

Skills: Eyes of the truth (F), Shadow movement (F), Shadow weapon (F)]

Right now, Alex has two questions, first is to see what their skills do and second is to see how much the average of the statistics is.

[ Eyes of truth (F): As the best assassin, you can see the profile of your victim. The more you level up the skill, the more information you can see.

Shadow movement (F): You can move directly to a shadow that is 5 meters from you. Hiding in plain sight. The higher the skill level, the further you can move.

Shadow weapon (F): You can create weapons with the shadows around you and of different qualities. Currently you can create some common daggers. The higher the skill level, the more types of weapons you can create and of better quality.]

As soon as Alex saw the skills, he was shocked. Although the quality is low, the functionality of the skills is impressive. Especially now at the beginning.

"Eyes of truth"

Using the skill, Alex was able to see roughly the mean among all his classmates' stats.

Although right now he could only see the stats using the skill, Alex found that his stats were well above average.

The average for strength was 3, 5 for dexterity, 4 for physique and 2 for intelligence.

Although some people were above average, so

Alex assumed they would have rare classes or above.

Before Alex could do anything else, screams were heard coming from the hallway.

Student 1: What was that?

Student 2: We must run right now; someone call the police.

John: Everyone calm down, what we must do right now is relax and stay together. There is no coverage and no internet connection either.

The person who just spoke is what many would consider the class leader. Intelligent, popular, and attractive. John has it all but also a corrupt personality. He wants everything good for him.

John: First, we must see what's happening outside. So instead of us all going out and putting ourselves in danger, I propose that a volunteer to go out.

Of course, no one raised their hand. John was about to take someone out randomly, until someone raised his hand. Of course, that someone was none other than Alex.

Alex nodded before stepping out of the class. Once he was outside, the door behind him was directly closed.

Of course, Alex knows that John doesn't expect him to survive. So, he was now free.

After walking for a couple of meters, three small green figures appeared from behind a class.

"Eyes of truth"

[ Goblin.

Level: 3

Strength: 2

Dexterity: 4

Physique: 2

Intelligence: 1]

Unsurprisingly, the first monsters to appear are the goblins.

As in all the games and novels that Alex has played and read. they always put easy monsters at first to get used to the game or your stats in this case.

And most of the time, goblins who have worse stats than a normal person are the perfect monster.

Thanks to their low intelligence, goblins launch themselves as soon as they see a prey, as they are carried away by their instincts.

So, when the goblins saw Alex, they jumped straight at him.

In most cases, the victim would get nervous, but Alex was not a normal case since thanks to his statistics killing three goblins is like stealing a candy from a child.

The first goblin who came to Alex with a dagger in his hand, tried to stab him, but because of the difference in speed, Alex saw this attack almost in slow motion, so he quickly evaded the attack and with a dagger made of shadow, he cut the goblin's neck.

[ You have killed a goblin. Experience +5]

Then the other two goblins arrived both with daggers in their hands, Alex moved into the shadow behind one of the goblins and quickly stabbed him in the heart.

[ You have killed a goblin. Experience +5]

[You have level up]

"Well, that was fast"

After seeing his companion die, the goblin attempted to flee. So, Alex threw the shadow dagger directly into the goblin's head. Killing him instantly.

[ You have killed a goblin. Experience +5]

After levelling up, you have 5 points to raise your stats.

Alex distributed 2 points for dexterity and strength and 1 point for physique.
