Hope you enjoy.

Constructive criticism is appreciated.


Opening his eyes, he stared up towards the sky from his position on the ground, well he would have if he could see the sky. It seemed that he had been dropped off in some kind of forest with giant pine trees with foliage so thick he couldn't see the sky, even so the forest floor was still illuminated with what he guessed was simulated light.

Wondering why his name was unreadable he tapped on the small star next to Name, hoping that it would give him some extra information.

*DING*

Your Name is unreadable at this point in time as one has not been given. Upon entering your first Verse when someone asks your for your name you will be able to provide verbal input before being asked for confirmation on your name choice.

Seeing that the star did in fact provide more information he tapped on all the other stars so he could get a better understanding of what he was looking at.

Seeing that there was still 1 objectives left, he thought back to what he had read about skills draining MP and decided it was worth a shot.

'Skills' he thought, causing yet another box to appear, a wide smile splitting his face showing his now sharklike teeth.

Completion:

+20 EXP

x 1 Random Quality Weapon

Seeing that he had completed the quest he pulled up his inventory to see what weapon he would get, upon opening the window he saw that there was another wrapped gift sitting in the first grid square like it had been when he got the skill earlier, already knowing what would happen he tapped on the gift.

Do you want to open "Random Quality Weapon " x 1 [Confirm]

He quickly tapped [Confirm] eager to see what weapon he would get.

Congratulations! You have gained the weapon [The Gem Of Kukulkan]

*DING*

Congratulations! Due to a game of chance playing out in your favor you have gained +20 LUK

'How could this possibly be lucky all I got was a gem, I was expecting a sword or something'. Thinking he got ripped off, not believing you could use a gem, of all things, as an effective weapon, he tapped on the icon to see if he could get any use out of it.

[The Gem Of Kukulkan]

Grade*: Phantasmal

Description: A gem once in the possession of the Maya snake deity Kukulkan. Grants the wielder control over all elements.

His eyes widened in surprise when he read the description of the gem. seeing another star next to Grade he tapped on it causing a new box to appear.

Grading: Items

Inferior: 80% drop chance from enemies

Normal: 50% drop chance from enemies

Rare: 20% drop chance from enemies

Unique: 10% drop chance from enemies

Ancient: 5% drop chance from enemies

Legendary: 1% drop chance from enemies

Phantasmal: 0.01% drop chance from enemies

He was shocked to see that he had already gotten an item of the highest grade tapping the equip button the gem appeared in his hand, inspecting it closer it was about the size of his palm and appeared to have every color of the rainbow swirling around inside of it.

He was about to test it out on a nearby tree when another box appeared in front of him.

Would you like to [Consume] this item? Grants [Concept: Absolute Elemental Control] which can be turned into the skill mastery [Elemental Control Mastery] - Passive - Lv-Max. [Confirm][Deny]

A manic smile split his face when he contemplated the possibilities of what he could do with this weapon in the number of different anime he had watched over the years. slamming his finger on [Confirm] the gem turned into liquid and was absorbed into his hand.

Congratulations! You have gained [Concept: Absolute Elemental Control]. Would you like to change this [Concept] to a [Skill] or [Store] for later use.

He quickly pressed his finger against [Skill] his hand shaking with excitement.

Congratulations! you have gained SS rank skill [Elemental Control Mastery]

Tapping the icon to make sure that its effects were the same as they were with the gem.

[Elemental Control Mastery] - Passive - Lv-Max

Description: Grants the user control over all elements. Cost - 0 mp/s

He was unable to keep the crazed smile off his face as he pointed his hands out in front of himself and released a torrent of flame extending 100 meters out in front out him. Lighting fire to all the trees it touched as it blazed through the forest.

*DING*

Hostile entities will now begin to spawn within the Tutorial Arena. You have the next 5 hours to advance in level before you will be placed in your first Verse. Note: you cannot advance past Level 20 here.

Closing the window, he began to look around for these so called hostile entities.

*DING*

Congratulations! You have gained E rank skill [Danger Sense]

He dove to the ground in order to avoid a large paw slamming into the ground where he had previously been standing. Rolling to his feet he spun around to come face to face with what he could only call a Hell Hound, what with its dog like appearance, standing around 8ft, with red eyes, short black fur, and fire rolling off it body in waves.

*DING*

Congratulations! You have gained E rank skill [Observe]

'I wish these notification would shut up when im in life and death situations' He thought as he dived out of the way yet again as the Hell Hound lunged forward attempting to bite his head off.

'This skill better be the same as it was in The Gamer, [Observe]!' he mentally shouted hoping it would work.

Name: Hell Hound

LVL: 5

HP: 1000/1000

'This thing will probably kill me in 2 or 3 hits' he thought as he rolled under yet another paw swipe.

'Better hope this works' he thought as he lashed out with his right hand, releasing a blast of hyper condensed air, knocking the Hell Hound back a good 10 meters. casting [Observe] again, hoping that he did substantial damage.

Name: Hell Hound

LvL: 5

HP: 900/1000

A smirk flash across his face as he saw how far he lowered its health in one hit. He sprinted forward towards the downed Hellhound launching chunks of earth with his right hand and following up with blasts of wind from his left making the earth chunks fly towards his enemy faster than his eyes could follow. Not giving the Hell Hound the opportunity to regain its footing he continued his barrage until it burst into motes of light, that floated away on the breeze.

*DING*

Hell Hound Defeated! Gained 100 EXP!

Level Up!

Out of the corner of his eye he saw 2 more Hell Hounds spawn. A manic smile split his face as he turned to face his new enemies, mad laughter echoed throughout the forest as he sprinted towards his next kill.


4 Hours 30 minutes later

He was resting on a fallen tree, the forest around him was completely destroyed, trees and boulders were ripped out of the ground, there were huge cuts in the ground seemingly caused by giant blades, fires burned all around destroying whatever was left standing.

*DING*

Times Up! you have 5 minutes to allocate your stat points now before you will be thrown into your first Verse.

"Stats" he said causing the now familiar blue box to appear in front of his face.

*DING*

You will now be transported to you first Verse.

And just like that a bright flash enveloped him yet again as he was shipped across the Multiverse to begin his first adventure.


His feet touched the ground before his eyes had adjusted to the dim lighting of the room he was in.

"Huh-Ho, 3 Irregulars in 1 day, now isn't that surprising."

Upon hearing the voice he spun trying to find the speaker. Out of the dark walked what looked to be a bipedal rabbit twirling a yellow staff with a green ball attached to each end.

'[Observe]' he thought, trying to get an idea of how much of a threat the small creature was.

Name: Headon

LvL: ?

HP: ?

"Yet another visitor who opened the gate by themselves" Headon said, as he continued to walk closer.

"My name is Headon. I'm the Guardian of the first floor. Now what is your name, Mr. Young Boy?" Headon asked, as he stopped when he neared one of the chambers walls.

*Ding*

What is your name? please give verbal input.

"My name is ..."
