Chapter 1: Tutorial
7 A.M, Monday
'Man why did I have to spend whole night grinding my MMR instead of studying, now I have to ask that dickhead Sween to help me or I am gonna fail this test, Just think about his smug face my blood boils and a voice inside tells me to punch him in the face and if I can break a teeth or two then that would be for the best'.
School usually starts at 8 A.M. and after the morning prayers and teacher scolding kids for not being in the correct uniform the test would start which I had no preparation for. I was usually the first one to arrive at school because I lived near it.
'I should just start studying now so that I would remember a few things in the exam atleast' While being engrossed in the book I feel a slap on my back and I see my friend Summar standing there.
"Hey man. What's up?"
"Just despairing about the upcoming test. What about you? Did you study for it?" I asked
"I did actually but you know me I study a lot but still can't score shit when the exam comes my mind just freezes I just can't do these test so much pressure."
" Don't worry bro some hotel manager might be kind enough to hire you to wash some dishes" I teased him.
He and I while not being the best of friends were still pretty close because we knew each other from a very early age. This was the case for most of the people of this class we were pretty close because we knew each other and were together since childhood most of the students were close aside form some kiddish feuds most of us are pretty good friends.
While talking I say "Holy shit brother do you see this?"
and he with a confused expression say "What the fuck are you talking about? I don't see anything there but there is a fucking screen in front of me!"
I was shocked but recovered quickly being an avid reader of light novels with systems and shit this was experienced but everyone else also getting a system that was troublesome.
In front of my eyes was
"
Name - Tanmay Chawla
Age - 17
Health - 50
Mana -1000
Strength - 2.5
Agility - 5
Intelligence - 50
Skills - None
Coins - 0"
I ask him "What are your stats?"
"Strength- 5, Agility - 10, Intelligence - 1"
'Woah that's low maybe that's why he has low scores. So he is a part of taekwondo team so his higher strength and agility stats makes sense. Still what's up with my fucking 50 Intelligence.'
Then I notice along with my status bar which if I wish to disappear it does there is a shop option on the bottom right of my screen. It's a dark grey square with SHOP written in golden over it but I can't seem to be able to open it yet and on the bottom left corner there is some sort of a map in my vision.
"Hey do you see the shop option too?"
"Yeah but I can't seem to open it."
'So there is probably going to be a quest given out which unlocks it then. Who's gonna give out the quest though?' I think
I sit down and think about how do we get gold and level up in games and the answer came pretty simply ' Killing'. Other than quests or treasures the only way to get gold or xp was to either kill wild animals or kill other people or npc. This was pretty clear but what do I kill in our world where everyone is fucking human. I made a decision if this was going to be like how it is supposed to be the world we know is going to change thus to get stronger I had to kill people so I began to think where can I get targets who roam around alone in school.
'The new building' as we called it was a building attached to ours which was still under construction and students were not allowed to go there only the construction worker worked there and there were only 3 every floor divided into different rooms. They usually arrive about an hour later at around 9 A.M. That's when the tests are bound to happen but I had made a decision So I head out towards the building enter a room and sit there I found a rock about 5 kg in weight small enough to fit in my hand but heavy enough that if I hit on the back of the head would make one unconscious.
Sitting there for a while I hear people talking I couldn't hear what they were talking about but I knew I had to hide and wait for them to separate. My plan was to hide towards the right of the entry gate and if only one person enters I would hit him hard on the head if not I would just pretend to be a mischievous kid skipping class which would be unsuspecting. So I stood there as I heard them separate and thank my lucky stars. With a rock in my hand I wait
THUD...
The worker enters unsuspecting and is hit on the back of the head pretty hard with a rock and instantly lose consciousness I kick his body to the edge of the room as I don't want to get my fingerprints on his shirt and then throw two cement bags on it so that if someone just enters doesn't notice it for a few days before the body begins to rot.
I pick up a hand saw from among his tools as it would make the other kills easier and decide to lay an ambush in the washroom of this building which no one except these workers use. As I sit in the washroom I decide to check out my status bar and there is something new on it.
"

Age 17
Level - 1 (50%)

' So I just need to kill one more to get to level 2 huh. I should probably go to a mental doctor to check if I have a problem in my head."
Sitting in the washroom for about 15 mins. I had already removed my shirt to avoid getting any blood on it. I hear some footsteps. Seems like only 1 person is there. I hide behind the wall that is made so that students from outside can't peek the inside and kind of makes a small pathway to enter the washroom towards one of the urinals. As the unsuspecting worker come in he immediately goes onto the urinal and doesn't notice me. I walk with muffled footsteps and sneak up behind him and with full force swing my saw at his neck so that even if he doesn't day in one hit at least he wouldn't be able to shout anything. As expected blood gushes from his neck which now has a handsaw attached to it and he slowly losing his strength falls on the ground.
As soon as I finish the kill I am bombarded with notifications.
"Congratulation you have levelled up.

'WOAH that is fucking broken' I decide to finish off the last worker with lightning bolt and return to the classroom. Walking to the room he was working in I see him pouring out bags of cement on the floor I concentrate on him and call out lightning bolt and instantly a bolt of lightning descends from the sky and electrocutes him. His body charred from the damage and the sound of thunder following it I run towards my class.
As I am entering the class the teachers looks at me and says
"The principal wants to talk to you about skipping the test that happened 15 mins ago' that's when I remember that I was supposed to take a test this morning and trying to cover up my ass say " Mam, I had an upset stomach I'm sorry this won't happen again can we skip going to the principals office?" I plead to which she just gestures me to go. Wanting to throw a lightning bolt at her I stop myself as I go towards the principals office which is on the ground floor.
As I am about to knock on the principals door I hear a
