"Good now that we have your attention, we think it'd be best to inform you all what is going on, and what will take place from here." The man in the suit spoke his natural voice reaching every corner of the great auditorium.
"First I'll clear up the rumor we are not here to sell you to the government, the government already bought you and this is the medium through which we examine you all and determine which one of you was an investment…" he paused for a moment and continued.
"We either decide to send the ones we deem as investments to the labyrinth or to a secret facility. Normally you would have to prove your loyalty to us to enter the labyrinth but it actually right now it would benefit us the most to have as many forces of our as possible to enter into the labyrinth."
"So what will happen from here, you all will be sent into the labyrinth for the 50 year selection of contestants which will start 2 weeks from now."
"Once you arrive in the labyrinth you will awaken an ability for these 2 weeks you will want to familiarize yourself with your ability ad much as possible, everything is computer based up there so the computers will guide you to your living spaces and also further explain what your first trial will be." While saying this he conjured a heavy sword in the form of fire and a spear in the form of ice.
"I am a weapon conjurer I can conjure a weapon out of any material I can understand at a basic level, there are 7 different classes of warriors, mentalist, weapon conjurer, berserker, assassins, mages, scouts, and all rounders, once you awaken your ability the computer system up there will go over what your class is and help with basic training."
Once the man in the suit finished speaking the lights on the stage faded off as the man and vixen disappeared from the vision of everyone.
At this moment the chatter picked back up as they were basically being set free, at least this is what most of the orphans thought.
While all the kids were discussing what the man had just talked about a whining noise could be heard inside the great auditorium while light began to emit from every surface within the great auditorium.
This light soon enveloped all the orphans transporting them to the labyrinth, once they arrived they were greeted but thousands of children ranging from the ages of 7-14 waiting in 10 different lines that led to some advanced mechanical looking tube.
[Mission complete, the host can claim his rewards in the missions tab.] The voice of the system sounded in vans mind the moment they arrived within the Labyrinth.
Once they arrived a screen popped up in front of all the people that just arrived while also emoting a sound transmission.
'Welcome to the Labyrinth where there is only one correct route to the grand prize, you all are currently tied in last place with 0% percent of the trial completed. Once a trial is complete you will have to find your way through the maze of the labyrinth while facing more trials until you find the correct trial to progress deeper. Every trail has set rewards do your best. The rules of the labyrinth will be explained at the first trial' A mechanical voice came from the screen that appeared in front of everyone showing their tied rank of 109,783,241.
The screen also had the ranks of the top 3 participants. [1st. Abaddon 82%, 2nd. Alecia Starfier 80%, 3rd. Red Zephyr 72%]
The screen then prompted everyone to enter the 'awakening tubes' once their turn arrived. They we're informed that these tubes would either awaken the ability dormant within their soul or would analyze and tell them the ability they've awoken.
Time passed and the line moved forward while the student talked about what was going on, who would get the coolest ability, and who would make it the furthest and become rank #1 in the labyrinth.
While waiting and talking with max and Erika they were joined by another female orphan name Lucia she was 16 her skin was pale and her hair was light blue while she had a fairly ordinary face aside from the fact that her eyes were grey almost white they were so light. With such exotic features her parents were afraid she was cursed because of that they sold her off to the orphanage at the age of 2.
When she arrived Van didn't notice her because he was checking his system rewards.
[Missions]
[Escape the orphanage with max before doctor vixen comes back in 1 week. Reward: 5 skill points, 100 shop points and unlock system shop. PENALTY FOR FAILURE: host will be dissected and have his organs transplanted into other people](CLAIM REWARDS)
[OPTIONAL: Exorcise daily, 10km run, 133 Push-ups, 133 squats, planks for 10 minutes.
Reward: 10 shop points for everyday the host completes exorcises.]
As soon as he saw the claim rewards option he pressed it and immediately decided to check out the shop of the system now that he had unlocked it. The first thing that caught his attention in the shop was a stat doubling pill, but after seeing the the pill would only work once and never again he decided it would be best to get it later to get a higher boost from it.
He also saw many other types of pills, he even saw books and scrolls that detailed different ability's and how to awaken them but they costee far too much for his current shop point balance. When he saw this he hoped he would get enough points so he could buy these books and help his friends become even more over powered like him.
Before he could even do anything with his stat points his attention was brought back to reality by Erika pulling his arm and saying his name.
Once she noticed he was back to earth she introduced him and Lucia, "Van and Max this is my friend Lucia she's 2 years older than us but she's really nice and dependable, Lucia these are my friends Van and Max if there's anything you need to get done nothing is impossible when these 2 work together." Erika said introducing both parties who then exchanged formalities and began talking about the peculiar situation they were in while moving forward in line.
