[Choose:

"..." Kris rubbed his chin looking at the options before him.
He could choose Saint which seemed to give a more harder quest or Assassin which simply told him to kill one target.
[You've taken the Class Assassin!]
"It fit good with my expertise," Kris said after he picked his Class.
Kris was in a dark void which he was quite use to being in. Suddenly, he brought to a breezy wasteland in the time of night. He was surrounded by dead trees and black crows that had red eyes.
He stood on a dirt path which differentiated from the long, dark and waving grass on the side.
Kris inquired, "Another horror scenario?"
His eyes then glowed golden and he turned his neck to look behind him. On the dirt path, a dark carriage approached. It path was lit by the carriage driver who was holding a lamp with orange light.
The two brown and large horses halted in there tracks. They stared down Kris with their big, brown and beady eyes which was bloodshot.
"What are you waiting for," said the carriage driver in a deep and mysterious voice, and was also smoking a pipe. "Get in. I don't have all night."
The man wore a dark attire with a top hat and suit with a tie. He had black gloves with one holding the leash for the horses. He had a scar on his left eye and his left ear was gone.
Kris followed the man's advice and cautiously hoped into the carriage. After he entered, the horses began to move again.
Inside the carriage which was lit by a lamp had a very unique structure.
Kris asked, "Where are we going?"
"What kind of questioning your asking?" The carriage driver asked.
Kris then thought inwardly, "(I've seen two types of objects in this Tower. The ones that are unaware of the exist of Players and those who are aware. I wonder if this thing is the latter.)"
The carriage continued, "I'm taking you to the nearest town called Immotral. Are you uneducated about this your homeland?"
"(I guess I know now.)" Kris thought.
"Or are you a Player?"
Kris then peered at the man after he spoke.
"Hah! I guess you are," said the man. "Can I ask you want your Quest is."
Kris, who was cautious, said, "Why should I?"
"..." The man stayed silent for a few seconds, then said, "..I believe I have the right to know since your kind have been harassing my world."
Kris only continued to glare at the man.
The guy then continued, "But I don't think I have the right to complain since I was once like you people, that is until I lost he came."
"Who is this 'he' your talking about?" Kris inquired.
The guy then turned his head and then slowly said, ".. The Creator of the System. All worlds that have been conquered by him know who he is and yours will show know."
Kris didn't say anything. "..."
"Let me give you a brief explanation," said the man. "The worlds that are primitive, their residents are sent to Spawn Sites, Dungeons and their world is connected to the Tower like mine."
"Everytime a Planet has been conquered by him, another is given the power of the System," the guy said. "So I ask you again.. what's your Quest?"
"... I don't need to tell you," Kris answered lifelessly.
"Cool hearted sons of bitches," said the carriage driver. "Your at your destination so get the hell out of my carriage and kill who you are sent to kill, seeing that you don't have a choice."
Kris briefly started at the man then kicked off his door. He exited to see a crowd of people.
"Hey," the man called. "Some of us may pretend that we don't know that you guys are Players or want is a Player, but trust me when I say this.."
The man then turned around his horses and began to head back down the path he came from.
".. all of us know what you people are."
Kris watched as the man carriage disappeared in the darkness.
"*Sigh* I don't know where my target is so how am I going about this?" Kris inquired.
Abruptly, a little kid bumped into Kris. The child was the height of Kris's knees.
"Ahh, sorry," the little kid said.
It was a girl.
Kris didn't do anything but stare at the small child.
She asked, "Mister, so you were my parents are?"
Tears suddenly flowed down her eyes then suddenly she erupted and started to bawl.
Kris shook his head and said, "No, I don't know were your parents are."
The little girl continued to cry as she said, "Ok.. sorry to bother.. mister."
She suddenly began to run away in the crowd of people. Kris kept a close eye on her and saw that he was asking other people about her parents.
Kris then said, "At least your parents are alive and kicking. My are probably in hell if there even is one."
Kris restrained himself from simply destroying the planet, which he could depending on how big this world was.
His eyes suddenly glowed bright gold as he scanned the area. Suddenly, he saw two individuals with a red dot in the middle of their bodies.
"Guess I found them," said Kris.

Kris pointed his finger tip like a gun at the individuals that he was searching for. The next second, a hole was made in the body of that person.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!" A female yelled in agony.
Kris then pointed his finger at the other person, who was kneeling down. A hole who was also made in that person's chest.

[You've gained x1 Infinite Durability Rune]
[You have been awarded x1 Knight Saint Armor Set]
"Mama!" A child screamed.
Kris hearing the voice began to walk through the crowd of people. He was soon in the middle of a circle of people who were surrounding two dead people who had gaping holes in their bodies. It was a woman and a man.
"Papa!!"
The girl from before was at the scene and was bawling out tears of sadness as she saw her dead parents. Seeing their skin turn pale and their eyes change grey, she couldn't help but to cry.
Kris suddenly felt something strange. It was guilty or regret, it was familiarization. He had taken away a child's parent just as his were taken from him.
Everyone was looking at Kris strangely and suspicious as he was wearing an attire that did not suit the fashion of this world.
Kris pale yet golden eyes stared at the dead parents and said lifelessly with out any sense of concern, "Damn... that's quite sad."
Kris then clenched his arms and summoned Transcendent. He was now feeling the guilt of his actions and he didn't like the aching sensation his heart was giving off. So the easiest way he thought to get rid of it was to use his brawn.
He planted the katana into the ground and then said, "Arc.."
A bolt of lightning then came down and struck the planet over and over again. A gigantic crater appeared which was the size of the one of the largest ocean on Earth, currently.
"Now I feel even worse," Kris said with a blank expression. "That carriage driver is probably dead as well as that little girl. Oh well, at least she's with her parents."
Kris then walked towards the blue portal infront of him. He then halted and looked back at the devastating that he had made.
"I'm.. no different from the thing that I'm trying kill," Kris said.
Suddenly, a small tear escaped his eyes.
He wiped it away and said, "Guess I really am a demon in human flesh."
Kris then walked through the portal.
After entering, he didn't even look at the Quest and destroyed the planet with one swing of his sword. The same with the rest.
Only time he halted was when he reached ninety eight. That was because he was involved in the scenario.
