chap 02

* Blinking …. Blinking *

-: Where am I?

* He gets up and notices he is not at school anymore. He sees a world

which was colored in black, even the sand was black *

* Suddenly *

System: System reporting … Teleportation completed … Pawn has entered

the underworld … Creating instructions book … System recommends pawn to

read the instructions … Every problem you face is yours to solve … Do you wish

to continue?

* suddenly two buttons popped out of nowhere in front of him: A. Yes.

B. No. *

Sys. : If you agree, press Yes, if not, press No. If you press No, the system

will begin the resetting process …

-: resetting!!! Don‟t tell me it means I will be deleted.

* Presses Yes unwillingly *

Sys. : Thank you for your cooperation. Here is the instructions. Read it before

the wave starts.

* A book appeared out of nowhere and fell to ground *

-: Instructions? For what? And what was that about the wave? Somebody

please tell me what‟s happening to me …

Sys. : System cannot answer your question …

-: Uhhh …

* opens the book and starts to read *

-: At the beginning of creation, there were so many angels who served God,

but one day, one of them called Hades, got sick of this and wondered why he

should serve him. He said: „I‟m more powerful than him. I‟m the darkness and

there is darkness wherever there is light …‟. Then he made his own army using people‟s sins and attacked God. Angels formed a group called “Light” to defend

against him. Light won after a long fight and sealed him within underworld. After

that, years passed, and people‟s faith in God decreased. The decrease in faith and

increase in people‟s sins resulted in Light becoming weaker and weaker, and

Hades growing stronger and stronger. Hades grew stronger to the poin that he

could break out of the seal recently. Now, he plans to destroy Earth to make Light

as weak as possible in order to kill angels and God. If this happens he will recreate

the world into something dark and cold and full of sins. To avoid this calamity,

Light decided to choose seven pawns to defend against Hades‟ army and help

Light to seal him again. Pawns are granted a blessing from God that will help them

achieve success in their mission. Pawns can use their blessing without any

restrictions in the underworld, but their blessing is limited on the Earth. Pawns can

enter underworld by saying the phrase “Light remains”. Whenever there is a wave,

pawns will get transported to underworld automatically. Before that, pawns will

hear a voice saying “Rise, my children”. Each pawn has a status menu which

shows their power and blessings they can use. Every blessing needs a minimum

status to use, using them before achieving that status results in damage to pawn‟s

body. All the wounds and abnormal conditions will heal after the wave, unless you

die. Whenever a pawn dies, the system will choose another pawn to replace

him/her for the next wave. Pawns shouldn‟t tell about system, or Light to normal

people, or they will be deleted … That‟s it? What about how we can go back to our

normal lives? Answer me, damn system …

Sys. : System cannot answer that …

-: damn it! Why should it be me?

Sys. : The wave will start in an hour … Please prepare yourselves … System

wishes you the best of luck …

-: No way … What should I do in one hour? … What‟s my blessing? … I think

it said there was a status menu … how can I open it? ….

* After saying “status”, a window popped up in front of him *

-: Really? … Is it some kind of Virtual Reality game? Let‟s see …

-: Omg! My agility is the highest, so that‟s why I‟m so fast at running … and …

my Intelligence and luck are the worst. HaHa … I know I‟m stupid and unlucky but

not to this point. Overall, I‟m best as a tanker or assassin. And my blessings are

stealth and eye of truth. I know what stealth is, because you can see it in every

RPG game you play, but what‟s eye of truth? … Don‟t tell me it‟s kind of natural lie

detector … anyway, let‟s start knowing more about my blessings … system, how

can I get information about my blessings?

Sys. : You can know more about your blessings by clicking on it.

-: It‟s getting more and more game-like. Let‟s start with stealth …

* click *

Stealth:

A blessing granted to those, who want to hide from others, which will let them hide

their existence completely.

Requirements: Agility: 30 – Intelligence: 20

Energy usage: 20 per minute

-: It needs 20 points of int., I have 15. And what‟s energy? … Is it the same as

calories? Let‟s ask system … System, how can I increase my stats?

Sys. : You can use faith points to increase them. Each pawn has 10 points at

the start, and you will get them after you finish each wave.

-: And what‟s energy?

Sys. : It‟s the amount of life energy in your body, you can use it to use your

blessings.

-: It‟s basically mana. Ok, let‟s check eye of truth.

Eye of truth:

The blessing granted to those who seek truth, - there is no more information

available -

Requirements: ???

Energy usage: ???

-: what‟s this, system?

Sys. : System cannot answer your question …

my blessing?

Sys. : You can use your faith points …

-: how many faith points does eye of truth need?

Sys. : Starting calculations … Reporting … 10 points

-: What should I do? Should I forget this and raise my int. for Stealth? … But

it‟s very mysterious … maybe it gives me a way to escape from here …

* After thinking for a while *

-: Ok, I‟ll take the risk … System, use 10 faith points on eye of truth.

Sys. : Points received … Getting information from headquarters started …

information received … Information about blessing: eye of truth got completed …

-: Ok, let‟s see what kind of mysteries does it have …
