"Mekumi? you there? Hello???" as Mekumi hears an unknown voice he realises that he is alive. "Y-you... Tobio?!?" his brother Tobio had died on a tower raid that was rigged just like his so he was confused about how were they still alive "How are you ali-" before Mekumi could finish his sentence Tobio said "You coming with us or not? we're going to go and watch the FIFA's final match" when mekumi heard this he got a moment of deja vu as if he was sent back to 2030. "n-no thank you i have plans" says mekumi. "Aww alright then tho, I'm taking ur money for the flight~~~ byee~~~" says Tobio. soon after Tobio left he looked at himself in the mirror it was as if he was his 17-year-old self and the towers had not risen yet. I knew that moment that my life could change, it was still 1 hour left since the towers had risen. I knew what I had to do I immediately started training the basics of martial arts since the magic was not yet in the world so it would be a waste trying to learn magic.
-30 mins later-
"BREAKING NEWS A BIG TOWER HAS OCCURRED OUT OF NOWHERE MANY PEOPLE WERE SHAKEN BY THE EARTHQUAKE MONSTERS ARE COMING OUT OF IT IT IS RECOMMENDED NOT TO GO EVEN NEAR THE TOWER". "So it has begun.."
as Mekumi was getting ready to enter a tower he received a notification
"Welcome player you have been selected to enter the tutorial, please state the difficulty you want to choose you have multiple options |Number 1 - easy|Number 2 - medium|Number 3-Hard|Number 4 - impossible | Number 5 P̤̤͖ͪ͑̕͜͜ụ̴̴̾̀͟͡ṛ̣̬̫̍͌ͩ͟g̬̬̱ͩ͋͟͟a͔͔̜̗̦ͩ̅̎t͖͖̠̬͛o͙͙̙̘̙ͤͫ͞ṛ̣̬̫̍͌ͩ͟y͙͙̪̰ͫ͌́"
Mekumi was amazed since only 10000 people from every country could enter the tutorial it was not that rare but in his previous life he couldn't get in
"Huh, according to the players who entered the tutorial, there were only 4 difficulties, and why is this name so weird as if it had been a glitch it does look like the hardest one tho... i choose Purgatory."
"P̤̤͖ͪ͑̕͜͜ụ̴̴̾̀͟͡ṛ̣̬̫̍͌ͩ͟g̬̬̱ͩ͋͟͟a͔͔̜̗̦ͩ̅̎t͖͖̠̬͛o͙͙̙̘̙ͤͫ͞ṛ̣̬̫̍͌ͩ͟y͙͙̪̰ͫ͌́ has been selected, player's willpower as exceeded the limit of a starter, the player has been chosen as a candidate of the king, a new system has been added, it will help the king's growth" Mekumi was confused as he didn't know what the system meant by 'king' he had never seen this happen to anybody or even heard of it.
"A candidate? What do you mean by that?"
"The further information is not accessible for the player, you will now be transferred to the starter weaponry section"
After Mekumi gets teleported, he gets a new notification saying "Welcome, king." he gets confused as he sees the window is different than the notification the towers give, he sees 7 sections on the menu. 'Stats, Quests, Inventory, Shop, Skills, Gold, and Souls'
"huh?" Mekumi is confused and wonders what to do "A daily quest has arrived, do 100 pushups 200 situps 20-kilometer run, and lastly get 10 monster kills.". "ARE YOU KIDDING MEEE!?!?" HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO ALL THAT? "Mekumi says as he's annoyed by the quests. "if the player does not do the quests, a penalty will be registered, the player will be transferred to the demon's den and will have to survive there for 2 hrs". "yea... -sigh- this is rigged... anyways let's look at the weapons first." as he says that he is confused as to why does the section look different. in his past life all the tutorials had F-class items for starting players; his items have B class mana stones embedded into them. Ima take this sword." After selecting the sword, he gets teleported to the waiting room of the tutorial.
Huh, is there nobody here?" He was perplexed when he noticed that no one was present. He quickly checks the limit of people in the Purgatory difficulty and discovers that it was a 1/1 section.
"Are you serious? How am I going to take on the monsters alone? Moreover, it is the hardest difficulty," Mekumi says in an annoyed voice.
Soon, 10 hours passed, and he had been training his body as per the quest. Mekumi learned one or two things about the new system he had seen.
"Huff huff, finally. I have done it! RA HHHHHHHHHH!" he screams in delight. "Now let's check the rewards".
"You have gotten 3 rewards: 1st, full recovery; - 3 stat points; 3rd, 200 gold."
"oh? i see, so I can invest in stats. Hmm, for now, I'm going to put all of them into strength." As he finished putting his stat points in, he learned that the full recovery reward restores his body to its best state.
"The tutorial's 1st floor is starting, please enter."
Mekumi got ready to enter as he knew it was the moment his life would change...
