Chapter 3: Chapter 3: It begins
The clock struck midnight.
Edmund was startled to see a semi-transparent screen appear in front of him. It was all true!
[Attention Midgardians. The Norse Gods are real. Ragnarok has begun. Monsters will return and Humanity will fall. But you have a chance to save yourselves. Magic has returned to this world and with it, the opportunity to gain power. While the Gods cannot directly interfere in this struggle they have provided you with a system to help you grow stronger. Use it wisely.]
Edmund was stunned, this couldn't possibly be happening! He had done as Thor said, yes, but that didn't mean he actually believed him.
At that moment the Earth shook. The quake was felt all across the globe and in that moment, everyone who was awake and had seen that translucent screen felt fear grip their hearts. Ragnarok had begun.
In front of Edmund a tear formed in the air and he could see somethin begin to step through. Occurrences like this were happening across the globe, Edmund was just unlucky enough to be locked in a garage with one.
As the beast was crossing over, Edmund began to sweat. His grip and on the hammer began to tighten and he could feel the cold hand of fear begin to clutch at his heart. In that moment, the creature finished exiting the portal and Edmund could finally see what it was.
It was a large wolf, considering it's a Norse creature it's likely to be a vargr, with a grey coat and long snout. It took a few seconds for the creature to take stock of its surroundings, and then it spotted Edmund. It's lips curled into a snarl and it crouched down ready to pounce.
It leaped, crashing into Edmund and the two fell to the floor in a pile of flesh. The vargr was on top and Edmund was desperately trying to prevent the beast from locking its jaws round his head. In a feat of strength that surprised both him and the creature, Edmund managed to throw it to the side and off him.
Edmund quickly moved away and onto his feet, creating space between him and the wolf, while still clutching tightly to the hammer. The vargr didn't waste any time and launched itself at Edmund. In a desperate attempt not to be eaten, Edmund swung his hammer. He felt it connect with beasts head and her the crunch of bone breaking. The vargr slumped to the floor and, not willing to take the risk of it still being alive, Edmund continued to bludgeon its head until there was nothing but a bloody mess.
Edmund sat back, breathing hard, full of adrenaline.

"What?" Edmund questioned.
'It must be the system Thor and that screen mentioned.' he thought, deciding to try it out.

'Okay' thought Edmund, 'Most of these stats are pretty self-explanatory, I'm guessing 10 must be the average starting stat for humans, but what are charisma and luck?'
[CHARISMA: A collective term for your ability to persuade, convince or mesmerize someone. Also takes into account attractiveness to the people around you.]
[LUCK: A stat denoting how much 'luck' you have. Not much is known on how this will effect you but perhaps good things can come from it. Cannot be improved by investing stat points.]
'Now that you mention it, don't I have some unspent stat points?' thought Edmund.
[UNSPENT STAT POINTS: 3]
'I'll put them into strength, that way I'm able to kill monsters with less hits' he thought, 'let's see how that looks.'

'Okay, all done' he thought.
Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw an object glinting. He looked around only to see that the beasts corpse has disappeared and in its place he could see a handful of what looked to be coins. He went to pick them up but the moment his hand touched them they disappeared.
[HACKSILVER: 3]
"Hacksilver?"
[HACKSILVER: Currency used by the ancient Norse. 100 hacksilver = 1 silver, 100 silver = 1 gold, 100 gold = 1 mithril coin. Can be used to exchange for items in the system shop once it is unlocked.]
"So this acts as a currency I can use to purchase things. That makes sense."
Suddenly a terrible scream rang out from the direction of his house.
'My parents' thought Edmund, with dread, 'I forgot about my parents.'.
