Chapter One: The Beginning of the Invasion
The sky was overcast with heavy clouds, and the once bustling city had turned into silent ruins. The air was filled with the scent of destruction and ash. No one had anticipated this day, the day when everything would collapse…
Ryan, a seventeen-year-old boy, stood amidst the devastation, gazing at the sky shrouded in black smoke. He had never imagined that his childhood dreams of adventure and heroism would come true in such a harsh manner. He had always read web novels and watched anime, wishing to be in a fantastical world where he possessed unparalleled power. But he never thought reality would be more brutal than any story he had encountered.
The beginning of the end came without warning…
Just weeks ago, the world was normal. But in an instant, strange creatures appeared out of nowhere, bringing indescribable destruction. They weren't just giant monsters or aliens; there was something terrifying about their very presence… something that made hearts tremble.
Amid the chaos, a transparent window appeared before everyone.
[System Activated]
The text appeared before people's eyes, followed by a mysterious spinning wheel. Everyone had one chance to determine their fate. Some received exceptional combat classifications like "Legendary Warrior" or "Shadow Mage," while others were less fortunate.
Ryan stood before the system window, his eyes fixed on the rapidly spinning wheel. His heart pounded violently… Would he gain great power? Would he become the hero he had always dreamed of being?
[Your classification has been selected: Assistant]
"Assistant?!" Ryan froze for a moment, unable to believe what he was seeing. He had hoped to become a warrior or a mage, but instead, he got something he never expected.
At first, he felt disappointed, but he didn't know that this classification hid a secret far greater than he could have imagined…
Days after the chaos began, as Ryan was trying to survive with a group of survivors, a massive creature appeared before them. Its skin was covered in a metallic layer, and its eyes glowed with a fierce red light. Everyone started to flee, but Ryan didn't move. There was something different inside him.
He felt a strange power flowing through his body, as if something that had been dormant within him for years… was now awakening.
He raised his hand unconsciously, and a faint blue light began to swirl around his fingers. He didn't know what was happening, but he felt… powerful.
This wasn't the end, but only… the beginning.
End of Chapter One.
