"So... what should I do now?" I asked, after finally understanding what the 'System' was saying.
"YOU'RE MEANT TO START PREPARING FOR YOUR EXAMS, BUT SINCE YOU'RE SO STUPID WE'LL HAVE TO START WITH YOU PICKING A SKILL "
"Hmm, you're quite violent. What does this so-called skill have to do with me being stupid?" I asked, picking my nose.
"URGH... THE GUYS WHO WOULD KILL YOU WILL BE COMING SOON. YOU HAVE TO STAY ALIVE AT ALL COST. IF YOU DIE... IT'LL BE THE END OF YOU "
"Uuuu... I'm so scared." I said sarcastically while laughing.
"MAYBE YOU CAN SURVIVE ON YOUR OWN, TAKE CARE."
"H-hey, wait! I'm not ready to die yet." I said.
"HMPH!!"
"So? What can I do? Don't tell me..." I said, walking towards a tree and hitting it with all the strength I could muster.
"Eek!!" I shouted as my hand began throbbing.
"HA... ARE YOU STUPID?!!!"
"It's supposed to be some kind of cheat, isn't it?" I asked, wincing in pain.
"NOW, COME PICK YOUR SKILLS, OR YOU'LL DIE A MISERABLE DEATH."
"Okay, it's about time for the skills," I said excitedly while trying to grab the system.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!!"
"Hmm, trying to get the skill, of course," I replied.
"JUST HOW EXACTLY WERE YOU PLANNING ON GETTING THE SKILLS!!!!"
"Oh, it's not that way, huh?"
"HAAA... YOU TAP THE SCREEN, AND CHECK IT OUT "
"Hmm... Kaito Mimori... who the hell's that?"
"EEEEEEEKKK!!!! I'LL KILL YOU, I'LL KILL YOU!!!"
"Calm down, I was just joking," I said laughing while scrolling through the screen.
"Oh-ya, this one looks too good, I think I'm getting it," I said, smiling.
"GRIN... SMIRK..."
"Hmm... why do you look at me mockingly?" I asked before tapping it.
"Hmm? What is this? 500 thousand points?"
"THOSE ARE THE POINTS FOR BUYING THE SKILLS "
"Hmm? I thought the skills were free."
"HMPH! BAKKAA... YOU'LL GET A WELCOME GIFT, BUT THAT'S IF YOU SURVIVE TODAY. AND YOU WERE ALREADY GIVEN A LOGIN GIFT, 100 POINTS."
"How do I get these points?"
"YOU'LL HAVE TO PERFORM MISSIONS TO GET THE POINTS, BUT YOUR FIRST MISSION IS TO SURVIVE. IF YOU SURVIVE YOUR REWARD FOR THE MISSION WOULD BE 1000 POINTS AND A FREE DRAW."
"Why don't I get the free draw as the welcome gift?"
"CAUSE THAT'S HOW I WANT IT. NOW CHOOSE YOUR SKILL AND TRY USING IT!!"
"Yeah, yeah."
"I just have to pick one of 100 points or less right?" I asked while scrolling through the screen.
"Why the hell are they all in thousands?!"
" THAT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE CHECKING THE EXPENSIVE PART, GO TO THE FORSAKEN SKILL SECTION, I'M SURE YOU'LL FIND A SKILL OR TWO THERE."
"The name alone is discouraging, but what can I do?" I asked, searching for the forsaken skill section.
"Speaking other foreign languages, sleeping well, more abs, blah blah blah. What the hell are these?! They are all useless!!"
"HAHA, THAT'S WHAT YOU GET!!"
*Hmm...* I thought looking at the screen.
"Sleep? What's that?"
"I DON'T KNOW CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF, AM FEELING SLEEPY. "
"Shouldn't you be helping, you cursed system!!"
*And it's only 20 points. Maybe cause it's useless. I'll just buy another one.* I thought trying to scroll.
"NOTICE: YOU GOT THE SKILL 'SLEEP' FOR 20 POINTS."
"Eeeeeekkkk!!! I tapped it mistakenly!!"
"SHUT UP, YOU'RE DISTURBING MY PEACE!!"
"Curses!!!!"
"Ha... no need crying over it then," I said as I continued scrolling.
"ARE YOU READY YET? THEY'RE CLOSE."
"Yeah, kinda. I got some bombs." I said, holding out some stuff.
"PFFT... HAHAHA. GOOD, GOOD. JUST DON'T JUST DIE "
"Oh, and I guess I was able to buy a karate move. But once triggered it'll stop 30 seconds later and the sleep can only work on one person. Ha..."
"Whatever. I'll just use it when the men show up."
A few minutes later, some men in black arrived. They held different equipment.
*Must be the murderers.*
"Lin Chen, your dad borrowed a sum of 2 million yen from us last week, he hasn't paid back and yesterday was the deadline." One of them said.
"Huh? Are you stupid? Why would you come to me do I look like the person that borrowed from you?" I asked.
"Huh?!" The guy asked looking confused.
"OH DEAR"
"What? You guys should piss off. I don't think they're the murderers. These guys are just troublemakers." I said, the last part in a whisper.
"LIN CHEN!! Even though we were given the order to kill you immediately, I'll make you suffer." The man said, walking towards me.
"LOOKS LIKE YOU MADE THEM ANGRY, LIN CHEN..."
"Hmm...🤔?"
I looked at the men as they walked towards me angrily.
"If you Kneel and apologize we can consider ending your life painlessly." Another one said.
"Painlessly? You bunch are just fools, I'll still die at the end. Why don't you get lost 👎." I said.
"Don't blame us for being ruthless, Lin Chen..."
