Chapter 1
A Young man was sitting under the warmth of the sun , alas the sun illuminated everything but him it was like even the nature cast him out . Alone in the dark waiting patiently for his ride , Clive looked up at the sky ,mesmerised by the events that were happening . In less than a second everything froze execept him , there appeared some strange words that he couldn't understand but still felt some strange connection to. Fortunately for him, he could not read them yet. Clive was shocked but not enough for him to move , it may just be because of everything that he's been through . After about a minute , everything returned to normal except the fact that something was standing in front him and now he was shocked, so shocked that he went flying back . Even someone as cunning and predictive as him could not anticipate that , his system finally awakened.
"Yes" he shouted , so loudly that the people around him that couldn't notice him and didn't pay any attention to him had even mistaken him for a madman but he did not care . The system used to teach people about life and make them stronger since birth had finally opened up for him.
"Only 17 years too late , great now I can finally start to really live". But could he really live now with the system , did he even need the system at this point not only was he lacking in his social life because of the system replacing the parent's role but his strength was also below average . Not caring about any doubts flowing in his mind , Clive rushed back to his home as fast as possible and spent the whole night scrolling through what the system proposed . The system was very different in his imagination, he thought it would resemble a quest book or some sort of a follower but it wasn't at least for him. His system could only respond to his curiosity and was not complete, Clive knew that the more he used it the more he would unlock different advantages.
Suddenly the system spoke in a rather unusual voice :
"Welcome Clive , we are the one and only system . "Well that's weird" the system wasn't supposed to act on his own will" Clive thought but before he could react the system spoke .
"Would you like to start your first mission ?
Clive surprisingly accepted it without hesitation, his life was boring avid of any excitement, working as a simple waiter and maybe this could change his life , he hoped so .
"Transferring you to the training facility "
"Wait what" were the last words he could pronounce before he was sent to a strange place devoid of any light just like his heart but that's for another time .
"Sending to you named monster : nameless king.
Clive had no idea as to what was happening what was this place and it's purpose . He knew nothing and the moment he tried to shout to the system , a sudden white blade that he could not see the end of slashed him in pieces . That was his first death.
Clive slowly started to understand what the system wanted him to do but how , he had never fought in his whole life not like he never wanted to but he simply couldn't rival the huge monster in front of him . He felt like that was too hard , couldn't the system just send him a goblin of something that he could actually kill and not including the fact that he didn't even receive a weapon .
"That's shameless of you, system what do you want from me" He said as his voice resonated in all sides of the room . Clive did not expect a response but he still got one .
"Kill the enemy and triumph for you will be granted the wish to kill" . Responded the system .
Clive always possessed some kind of hatred towards humans , he had never seen anything valuable like kindness in them only evil. He now wants to kill humans , he will only kill the scums of this world but with pleasure, that was his mission.
"Ha , at least you know me well" said Clive as he was trying his hardest to dodge the enemy's powerful but slow attacks .
At his 1000th death, Clive could finally see a glimpse of hope , the monster was getting tired and slower because of the heavy sword that didn't seem his .
"Maybe the system gave it to him" said Clive before for the first time in an unknown number of hours, touched the monster's body . Obviously, he was killed again but this time real progress was made and was finally provided with a weapon a small dagger with bad range but seemed enough to do some damage .
"Was the requirement for a weapon to touch the monster, that's weird" .
500 deaths after memorising his patterns , Clive had managed to kill the monster and lied down as an unimaginable exhaustion fell down on him. He thought it was over but only for fighting.
The system spoke and said :
"Congratulations, you have slaughtered the nameless king but before receiving your reward their is one last thing you need to do , eat the monster's head .
"Fuck Fuck Fuck!"
Clive wasn't used to fancy food far from that but something like that wouldn't stop someone as ambitious as him ready to do anything for his goals . He had no choice , Clive started eating the head and felt both pain and an increasing strength as he was swallowing the abdomination. After about ten minutes , the system transported him back to his room and gave him his rewards .
Clive smiled , something he had not experienced for a long period . The last time he did it was when seeing a human killing himself , he had felt so good and disappointed at the same time because he couldn't grant him death.
Clive received the same blade that the nameless king was using but adjusted to his size . He also got a unique key with no details about it on the system but felt important .
"Maybe I'll know about it later when I get stronger".
It was now time for the reveal of his mission and what he saw pleased him , two quests appeared the first being:
{"Join the transcendent academy and break all records"}
Reward:{Affinity of your choice}
Time limit:{1 year}
" if you fail , you will be back at the start but be careful , only 3 lives are given for each mission".
"That's unbelievable" said Clive as he couldn't stop a smile appearing on his face and this smile was going to widen even more as he was reading the second mission .
{Kill 1000 monsters on the ascension day}
Time limit:When the first ascension day ends
Kills: 0/1000
"Their is no return for this mission and thus it is instant death".
The ascension day is an event that happens every 50 years and there was only 5 years until it happens again . It is a disastrous day where countless numbers invade tamriel ,the continent where Clive lives and only disappear after all are killed . Even while Knowing how dangerous it is , Clive couldn't hide his excitement.
For the last information, a note was left by the system.
"The more you kill , the stronger you become , other users have a weakness but you do not . Rise and become worthy to claim your ultimate price , do not disappoint us and one day you'll remember your forgotten name".
Clive found this really strange but did not pay any attention to it as it wasn't anything important , for now .
"How could it be possible, not only can I finally kill but I am also rewarded for it , great".
After addressing the situation, Clive decided to start the first mission . He did not worry about being accepted to the academy because when the ascension day is close , they accept almost everyone regardless of their background so even someone like him could enter . Also , Clive had an advantage , he was handsome , so handsome that no one would even think he came from a poor household and he wouldn't hesitate to use it to manipulate people and achieve his goals .
Clive stepped out of his door and took an advanced train reserved to people going to the academy . He was not particularly worried about his lack of knowledge caused by the inexistence of his system and his education because he knew he would learn everything there .
The train finally arrived to the destination and as soon as he got off he felt an overwhelming urge telling him to not mess up . Clive looked up and down as if he couldn't believe it , who would believe someone like him could enter such a reserved and fantasy like place .
As Clive started waking towards the academy resembling the castle of the wealthiest king , he thought to himself
"Ah, I love being me".
