"Welp, I'm screwed"
Said Aaron Shaw, a varsity freshman with waist length platinum blonde hair tied in a ponytail, green eyes with hues of blue in them, and a diamond shaped face.
He wasn't tall by any means, his 1.7 metre tall stature made his height average at best but his well built body from years of sword training gave him quite the appeal.
Aaron stared up at the noon sky through his dorm window, what stared right back at him was an eye the size of which he'd never seen before. The once pieceful blue sky couldn't be seen whith an unknown number of these eyes hiding its beauty.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
One by one these eyes exploded releasing a golden dust like substance. Aaron quickly covered his nose with his hand and ran to his bedroom, in which a box full of face masks lay by his bedside lamp.
" I've seen way too many alien movies to fall for the generic eggs in your belly bs"
He muttered while putting a mask on. Aaron turned back, planing to take a peak back out the window but it would seem his many hours of studying movies had betrayed him as a golden blur the size of a mosquito went straight through his forehead.
THUD
Aaron fell head first onto his dorm floor, passed out.
About three minutes later, Aaron woke up with the mother of all migranes and a ringing sound in his ears. After quickly regaining his bearing he opened his eyes only to be flash banged by whatever was in front of him.
" Damn it! Give me a break!"
He groaned while adjusting to the sensitivity boost his eyes seem to have gotten. Opening his eyes once more, he found a virtual looking screen of golden words before him.

"The hell?"
Muttered Aaron with a raised brow. The shock one would expect from seeing floating golden words was nowhere to be seen on his face.
"Well would you look at that, it actually happened. Looks like this Daddy is about to start his own legend"
Said Aaron with a huge toothy grin on his face, showing his excitement.
" I finally have an appropriate setting to use all the grammar I collected from studying the ancient texts of cultivation novels"
Aaron slowly got up to his feet and went to look out his bedroom window, but just as he was about to push his curtains aside, a blue figure crashed into his room through his window.
Aaron quickly swerved to his left, narrowly avoiding the blue silhouette.
Bang!
It crashed into a wall, thus allowing Aaron to finally see its full form.
10 centimeter long claws, blue fur with white scales on its back, and bared teeth. This was most certainly a dog.
"Well, a one metre tall, blue furred and white scaled dog with glowing red eyes"
Said Aaron
GROWL!
Aaron stared at the monster in front of him with a calm mind, strange considering the circumstances, but now wasn't the time to think about that.
Bang!
The beast pounced at him with its claws out stretched. Aaron quicly jumped to his left, rolling across his bed and sprinted out the bedroom door into the living room.
He reached for his training sword that was leaning on his couch, hastily taking it out of its bag then turning back to his bedroom door.
The blue furred beast sped out his bedroom and pounced at him once more, but this time he was armed.
With his right facing the beast and his stance lowered, Aaron gripped the sword with both hands, raised them, side then proceeded to slash down towards the beasts neck.
SLASH!
The sword landed cleanly on the beasts neck, Separating its head from its neck.
"Huh?"
Aaron was dumbfounded.
His dull training sword just cut through meat and bone like they were paper. His swordsmanship was good but that didn't mean he could defy the rules of physics.

[ Level 1 beast "Blue wolf" slain ]
[ 5 Experience points gained ]
[ Level Up! ]
[ 2 Atribute points gained ]

'This really is like the novels huh. Oh so I gain 2 ap and 5 exp for killing a level 1 beast, not too bad. But I'll deal with all this later, how did that… uhh Blue wolf was it? How did it get all the way to the third floor window?'
"AHHHH"
"HELP!!"
Aaron was brought out of his thought by loud screams, he quicky ran for the living room window only to witness a scene that looked straight out of a horror movie play out before his eyes.
CRUNCH
A male students head was crushed beneath a blue wolf's paw.
A female student bit another female students neck.
A male student kicked a friend away while holding his bleeding arm.
Mangled corpses with entrails strewn across the ground .
Scenes like these could be seen playing out everywhere. Chaos, this seemed to be the most appropriate word to describe the unfolding situation.
"Everythinh just went to hell."
Aaron muttered while staring out the window.
' I first need to find a somewhat secure place to see how this…. Uhh system? I'll just call it the system. How this system works'
Aaron thought while turning around and heading towards his bathroom. This was the most secure place in his dormroom.
He got into the room, closed the door then sat on the closed toilet seat.
"Okay. First how do I open this thing? I'll just do as the novel protagonists do it. System!"

"Damn, that worked? Right, I leveled up, and there's a new stat huh? I'm guessing this shows the exp I need to level up again."
Muttered Aaron with his hand on chin.
"Child of fire? If I go by the typical shtick, this should have some kind of benefit it gives me. But how would I even know what it does?"
[ Concetrate on the the desired feature to know more about it ]
"OH so it also works like an assistant AI, convenient. I don't need one of those sentient systems with annoying personalities."
Aaron proceeded to do as he was instructed, and just as he thought, titles had benefits.

TITTLE: Child of fire
LEVEL 1
[ •Gives the bearer an extremely high afinity for the fire element.
•Multiplies the damage delt by fire type attacks delt by the bearer by 3.
•Gives 5% resistance towards the fire element. ]
__
'Pretty basic, but I guess it's not too bad considering it's still at level 1. But I think I should stick towards fire oriented abilities, having this tittle would give me am edge over most others'
Thought Aaron, it wouldn't be long before he discovered how rare having a tittle this early on is, and how broken his was.
' 17 in strength, 20 stamina 10 health and 15 speed. I have no way of knowing how these fair against the rest of the world, but going by the fight earlier, I'd say I'm pretty strong. 75 MANA huh? I wonder why it's so much higher than the others? I'll find out sooner or later.'
" Wait, now that I think about it, how the hell did I use this dull sword to relieve that wolves head from its body? I dont think I've always had that kind of strength."
Aaron questioned himself, remembering the fight from earlier.
[ Basic MANA theory, the more MANA one has, the stronger the body is required to become. So as one levels up, their body will get stronger in order to be able to contain the MANA it is supposed store at that level ]
" Hahaha this system assistant proves to be more and more useful. Hmm.... using this knowledge, all I can infer is that I at least have more MANA than a level 1 blue wolf, I'd have to slay more level 1 monsters for any further analysis"
BOOM!
Aaron quicly got up from the toilet seat, startled by the distant explosion.
"Damn, I got lost in thought. I don't have much time. One last thing to look over before I'm forced to leave."
__
ABILITY: Spark
LEVEL 1
[ Creates an ember that can cause an explosion with a (-5 health) damage to anything / anyone positioned anywhere within a 10 meter radius from you]
10 MANA per activation

'Hmm... I can use this about 7 times with my current MANA capacity. I would like to avoid having 0 on any stat if I can.
I'll leave the atribute points untouched for now, at least until I gain a decent understanding of my power level. As for Chained Heart...'
Bang!
Aaron's train of thought was interrupted by his bathroom door being blown to smithereens, the cause of which being another blue wolf.
" welp,I'll continue this after I've found a secure location. For now..."
"LETS DANCE!"
