"Hey Curt, let's get going, your mom will be worried if you get home late" said a boy around the same age
Curt dripping with sweat calmed himself down from the football match that just concluded
He checked the time on his watch,"shit I'm late, thanks frank"
Curt ran for his bicycle and both curt and frank rode home
They both lived in the same area has they are childhood friends
They said their goodbyes then curt entered his home where his mom was waiting
Has he opened the door, he was met with the sight of his mom almost in tears
"Good evening mom" curt said,
The mom looked at him with a relieved face, " why were you so late" Curt's mom asked
"I forgot to check the time, sorry mom",
The next moment curt was locked in a tight hug
" if you are going to be late can you please call first, you know you are the only one I have left after the incident with your brother and dad" curt's mom said
"it won't happen again" curt said
"I was not even that late, it just 5:30"
Curt thought
Curt was finally released and he could finally go to his room
Curt then took a shower and while in towel looked into the mirror
The first thing you will noticed is his white hair that fit his beautiful face so well
He was 5.11 in height which was quite good for 16 years old
He had a really good body has he is in the football team and track team
After taking a good look at himself and had a change of clothes
While relaxing in his room he had a call from his mom
"Dinner is ready son" his mom said
"Im coming mom" curt replied
Curt dropped his phone and went downstairs to meet his mom at the dinner where she was already sitting with the food dished
Curt was really excited to eat as his mom was a really good cook and he loved her cooking not knowing this will be the last time he will enjoy her cooking.
While both of them were eating, Curt remember what happened to his dad and Caleb his big brother and lucky he is to be alive
When they were on a trip to visit their grandma has their dad was driving a drunk driver on the opposite road drove into their car and that caused a big crash but somehow Curt came out of it unscathed, couldn't say the same for his brother and dad, they were both rushed to hospitabut to no avail they both died on the hospital bed
After remembering that, it made his mood kinda sad but he didn't show it so he won't make his mom worry
10 minutes later he finished his food, did the dishes and went to his room
When he got their, he picked up his phone
After a few minutes of him using his phone he dozed off
The next moment he heard a buzzing sound,
Has he opened his eyes, he found himself in an endless white room
He looked around and saw nothing but white
Then a blue screen appeared in front him
Then a voice appeared
"Contestant number 1111 welcome to the trial on your new beginning" the voice said
"The screen before you will show you your profile, items, skill" the voice continued
Why don't you call out *profile"
Curt at first was a little shocked then he thought he was most likely dreaming so he decided to play on
"Profile"
Then the plain blue screen changed
Name: Curt Reece
Age: 16
Race: Human
Rank: 0
Strength: 12
Agility: 20
IQ: 13
Durability: 12
Endurance: 25
Mana: 0
He looked at the screen with a confused face at first then thought "I'm i dreaming of a game"
Then the voice continued "time for you to pick a weapon"
Out of thin air a whole lot of weapons appeared enough weapons that could fill his whole room
The voice said pick a weapon
Then curt looking around and his first thought was why would he need a weapon is he going to fight
He then asked "why do I need a weapon"
The voice said "you need a weapon to defend yourself as you are going to war"
Curt was shocked and kinda excited that he was going to fight some monsters like in the games
So as he thought he chose a long sword and a shield with a weirdly shaped knife
Then the voice said "it's time for you to go"
But Curt said "what about skills"
The voice replied " there is no need because you are just starting you can't have a skill yet"
But Curt decided to try so he called out "skills"
But the screen was not blank, it had *???* there so he was kinda shocked
But he decided not to ask the voice
Then the voice said to curt "goodluck contestant 1111 may your new beginning be safe"
Curt was confused about what is he talking about new beginning
Then Curt's started to disintegrate and turn into light particles
Unknown to Curt these was the trial that will lead him through a never ending journey
.....
Curt opened his eyes and he found himself surrounded by walls, he woke up on a bed
As he looked around he saw that he was in a room
When he first woke up he was destabilized because of the teleportation to another place
Then he decided to get off the bed and check around the room
The first thing he noticed was a door that led to a bathroom
Then he noticed a uniform lying on a cupboard beside him well folded
He looked closer and saw it was an army uniform but not his countries own.
He remembered the blue screen that appeared to him in the white room
He called out "profile* again, now he studied his profile well
He noticed he was specially good at agility and endurance " well that isn't shocking since I'm in the track team and I run long distant races" he thought
The next thing he called was "items"
There he saw the long sword, shield and knife
He tried to summon the sword by thinking of the sword, out of nothing the sword appeared in his right hand
He was shocked by what just happened
He then tried to put the sword back by thinking of it disappearing back which also worked
While amazed by what happened a loud knock was heard on his door
A large looking man around 6.5 opened the door and stood in front of me
"GET YOUR ASS TO THE TRAINING CENTRE THIS MOMENT PRIVATE CURT, YOUR UNIFORM ISN'T EVEN ON, I GIVE YOU 5 MINUTES TO GET THERE" those were thw next words of the large man
Curt was scared out of his wits as the man was leaving he checked the man's name badge "Sergeant Dorn" he thought
In a hurry he wore his uniform and followed behind the man at a distance because he didn't know where the training centre is
When he got there
The centre looked more like a very big open field he saw at least a thousand people all wearing the same uniform as him
They were all standing in a straight line formation
A podium in front of them
Curt quickly went to get a place to stand
Then Sergeant Dorn walked up to the podium a mic waiting for him there
"Ah ahm Has your all know tomorrow we are going to war against the beasts that have threatened our existence
These battle will decide our future and our life's they threaten our very existence
As you all know you are the weakest of the weak you have no rank" His voice suddenly increased
"FEAR NOT WE WILL FIGHT WITH ALL OUR MIGHT JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE WEAK DOESN'T ME THE BEASTS ARE NOT WEAKER THAN YOU THERE ARE BEAST FAR WEAKER THAN YOU
SO YOU ALL FIGHT WITH ALL YOU GOT WITH ALL YOUR LIVES ON THE LINES FIGHT TILL VICTORY IS ASSURED"
Everyone was filling fired up knowing they will most likely die
While Curt was filling scared that he might actually die
Sergeant Dorn ordered everyone to go to train on their swordsmanship with their fellow soldiers the last training before the war
Then Sergeant Dorn stepped down the podium
They all went to different places and Curt just followed the group of soldiers that were going to where the wooden swords were
After he picked a wooden sword
He found out that most of the soldiers were hear and then appeared 10 sergeants which split the whole group into 10 different groups
Then the Sergeant of Curt's group asked them to each go to a doll that they will use to learn how to use a sword
Curt went to a doll and started hitting it with the stick after like 30 minutes of hitting the doll
He got a notification you have acquired*beginner swordmanship manual*
He was spooked by the sudden appear of the screen and took a step back
He looked at the screen for a while then said the words "items" the blue screen came up and apart from the *???*
Under it there was *beginners swordmanship manual*
He read the description under
Beginners swordmanship manual: A book that helps teach people on how to swing a sword with a little efficiency
He was happy to say the least
He completely forgot and looked left and right he then noticed that no one saw the blue screen
He was then looking at the soldier training beside him then the system( which is the blue screen) said to him do you want see this man profile
Yes or No
Shocked that he could see other people's profile
He said yes and the system showed the profile
Name: Jerry Smith
Age: 19
Race: Human
Rank: 0
Strength: 15
Agility: 14
IQ: 7
Durability: 13
Endurance: 9
Mana: 0
He noticed that Jerry was hitting his doll far better than his own and guessed as much that they have been training since before he came
He then focused on the doll and continued to attack the doll
Hours later he was seen in his room lying on his bed looking at the system in front of him he then thought of the beginners swordmanship manual to appear which it did then the system asked do you wish to absorb the contents of this book
Curt said "yes" after that happened the book disappeared and Curt suddenly felt sleepy and slept off
A sleep before a brutal war
