Chapter 2: God's Blessings
all of them are now looking at the young angel.
At first there was a moment of silence due to being shocked by her sudden appearance, but then a after few moments, the people became noisy again.
"An Angel?!" "Cosplayer?"
"What was that special effects?!" "CG?"
As the surrounding was becoming chaotic, the angel shouted.
"Quiet!"
As the angel saw that she had everyone's attention, she then continued to speak.
"All of you might have a lot of questions, but don't worry, I will explain everything from here"
The angel then wore some eye-glasses from who knows where and was about to explain when suddenly a muscular thug-like man with a part of his hair dyed blond interrupted her with a loud voice.
"Hey you Bitch! I don't know what's your deal with your lame-ass costume and tricks, but if you don't tell who you're working for to return me right now, I swear I will rape you and sell you to a brothel together with your costume!"
As the man spoke with a loud and intimidating voice, many of the people near him were scared and distanced themselves from him a little bit. They could see that the thug-like man with his muscular and intimidating build did look like someone who could do such a thing.
Saying such vulgar and threatening words, it doesn't even seem like the man was affected by having such a crowd around him.
Ray look at the young angel and could see that she wasn't the little bit affected by the man's threat.
The angel just smiled and then said.
"It seems that there's a little bit of a misunderstanding here...
"I am in fact a bonafide angel, with the ability of one" The angel said as she animatedly flaps her wings.
"You-
As the thuglike man was about to say something, he suddenly found himself unable to move, much less continue his words.
"I don't like vulgar people like you, but we angels are bound to the rules you see~, we cannot kill people" As the angel said so as she tilts her head, the angel was looking at the thuglike man with a smile.
The thuglike man suddenly sweats like crazy as for some reason he felt genuine fear he couldn't explain.
"W-What d-do you mean? -" Finding himself able to speak again the man said.
but as he was about to continue his words, he shockingly finds out that his body is changing.
At first, his hands melted and turned into something like jelly...
"W-What is this?!"
Afterward he could then feel his line of sight starting to descend lower and lower.
This time, it was his lower body that has melted.
"What the fuck?! W-What did you do to me?!"
As the thug-like man examined his body, all of his body besides his head turned into a jelly-like substance with the color of meat. Becoming into something akin to a meat slime with a head of a human attach on its top.
Realizing to his horror, he opened his mouth and tried to shout profanities.
"Quack! Quack! Quack!"
But as the thuglike man tried to do so, instead of words... Quacks like that of a duck are the only sounds coming out of his mouth.
"QUACK?!"
*Giggle
"hehe, that's what you get from being vulgar and interrupting me" The Angel giggled and said such words with a cutesy smile.
Ray examined the surrounding people and could see that many of them are genuinely terrified by the angel.
Traces of sweat, pale faces, shivering.
Ray then looks at the angel again.
Seeing her with such abilities, now no one would probably dare to repeat what the previous man did.
Ray moved his vision and looked at the meat slime man. He could see it crawling with the speed of a snail trying to get close to the people around him. He had a look of desperation on his face as he tried to call on to the people surrounding him.
But it was futile, the people around him were moving away from him. Not because of his previous attitude but because they were afraid of being near such a disgusting creature. It is not just the looks that scare the people around, they were also scared that what happened to the thuglike man was contagious.
Seeing this, the man was in despair and was now looking at the angel with pleading, he tried to keep on saying words around but only gave out quacks. After a while, he then turned silent, and could only hope that the angel would forgive him after a time.
Everything that is happening is already beyond science.
They are all under the mercy of a being with godlike capabilities.
Ray wondered why is he calm when normally he should've been nervous.
'Why am I not bothered?'
Ray looks at the angel and he finds it also looking at him.
Then she winked at him.
'What does that mean?'
As the angel then looks at the surrounding people who are now silently looking at her, she then proceeds with her talk.
"With the noise now gone, let me now begin my explanation,
"All of you must've been anxious with you all suddenly being here, but don't worry~ after you accomplished some tasks you will return from the place you were from~"
She looks at the people and could see that they are still nervous and doubtful of the circumstances.
"Why are you all so tense, I only spoke the truth, we angels do not lie~"
As she said so, she then pointed at a teenage looking young boy wearing a school uniform.
"You, you~"
"M-Me?" The young boy nervously asked for confirmation, he was afraid that if he would say something wrong, that he would suffer the same fate as the previous man.
"Yes, you schoolboy, where were you from before you were taken here?"
"I-I, together with 4 of my c-classmates, we were in the classroom after class on cleaning duty when we were suddenly transported here together!"
Ray looked around the schoolboy and could see another teenage boy and 3 other girls wearing school uniforms. They must be the people the young boy was talking about.
Still, something about what the young boy said caught his attention.
'After class?'
Ray found it weird, he was taken in this place after he woke up, so it was still early morning for him.
If they were taken after class then no matter if it was noon or the afternoon, the time doesn't match.
'They must've been from a foreign country' Ray thought.
"So, it's you 5 together, what I meant is that if you all 5 finished the task given then you will return to that classroom, safe and sound"
"R-Really?"
"Yes! Rest assured~ We angels only spoke the truth~"
With the way, the angel repeated that idea she only seems like a kid trying to sneakily scam people.
The angel then looks around and now could see that most of the people have begun to feel although not relieved, but still less nervous, and it seems that they also want to ask something but are too afraid to call.
"Well, you must be curious what the task is but before that let me tell you a few things first, first of all...
The angel took a deep breath as if she was about to say something serious.
"Congratulations~ All of you here have been blessed by God and received many good things~"
With a smile, the angel looks at everyone with sparkling effects, but seeing that there is no reaction, she then continued as if it didn't happen.
"First, Do you all play games?
"Well, it's good if you do, just like games you see~ you have all been given a unique skill and a bonus one from God"
"And by reciting the words 'Status' in your head, you can examine it together with your other information…
"Go ahead, try it out~"
'Just like a game you say? then let's try it'
'Status'
*Ding!

'It really is like a game'

'But there's no Intelligence stat?'
As Ray was inspecting himself, it's pretty clear that the other people too have also seen their game-like status hearing their surprise and excited voices around.
"Wooh, so cool" "Wow my unique skill sounds so strong!"
"So, we're just like the main characters of a comic?"
"What did you get?"
The previous tenseness was gone and was now replaced with a lively atmosphere. People are excited about the game-like situation with their unique abilities.
Some were even testing their abilities, Ray could see a person summoning fire on his hands and even someone who suddenly turned invisible.
"Woah! Look at this!" "Hehehe..." "Now you see me, Now you don't..."
As they were inspecting themselves, Ray then also began inspecting the people around.

As Ray examined the people around, he found out that his stats are double almost all of the people around with most of them having active unique skills.
In the hundred people around, only 8 had passive unique skills.
As Ray finished inspecting the people around, he looked at the angel again and saw it floating around with a smile on its face.
The angel then stood up straight and call everyone again on attention.
"Hey~ Hey~ Everyone~
"You must have all already seen your skills. I think there will be no complaints since your unique skills are somewhat based on your desires,
"But before the task is given, we're not yet finished, there is still one last thing God has given you."
Hearing that they still were having one more thing, the people weren't overly lively but they could still see the anticipation on each other's eyes.
Getting just the Unique skill had already seemed like a once in a lifetime blessing and then it seems that they could even get another thing from God.
Seeing the anticipation and the grinning people around, the angel was looking smug thinking to herself 'Look at your faces! where's your previous tenseness?'
"Alright, alright~ Now look at your right hands and you'll see a tattoo-like mark."
'A tattoo-like mark on our right hand you say?'
Ray remembered something.
In the dreams he had been receiving for the past 5 years, there was a mark on his right hand which has always seem to be of importance.
From what he remembered, it was a mark resembling a crown in front of the sun.
Ray looked at his right hand.
There was a mark. But it wasn't like the one he had from the dream. This time it was the symbol of a sword with a broken sun below as if it was the one who strikes it.
"Now focus your mind on your crest and you will receive information about it," The angel said
Ray then put his focus on the mark.
A bunch of information then came to his mind.
There was no pain or headache involved, it was a quick and easy transmission.
As Ray carefully commit the new knowledge into his memory, he was now thinking about the situation.
The nostalgia he felt when he first arrived here, the familiarity the angel gave him.
He had been thinking that the dreams he had aren't so simple, and now, receiving all of these, now he had an idea about his situation.
