Ch.1 The Beginning of the End
He awoke and opened his eyes. He felt his body, it was fine, there were no cuts no burns no disease. But most importantly there were no wounds. He pushed himself up and observed his surrounding searching for his weapons trying to access his status his inventory, it did not work, he quickly noticed the room he was in was his old room before the End of earth.
It was his dormitory filled with his items and exercising machines. He started thinking, firstly it was not an illusion his title would nullify that, secondly he couldn't access his inventory or status. Thirdly he had killed the outsiders and died. How was he here then? He did not know perhaps the wish they said he would be given if he killed them all was true and it perhaps resurrected him after he died?
But why back on earth back in time? Why not just resurrect him back in the void that's where he died after all or perhaps he was being manipulated by a higher being than the outsiders the system was only somewhat controlled by them after all perhaps he was being a second chance for redemption?
He snorted at that, he was the "King of War" after all he had a higher kill count then most rankers combined. But that was irrelevant he cleared his mind and took the situation as it was. He was sent back in time before the start of the "End".
He had work to do then. He quickly picked up his phone on his bedside drawer and checked the time and date. It was the 28th of December 2022 9:12 am. He had 2 hours and 48 minutes to prepare for the beginning of the "End". He quickly got out of bed and started tying his hair into a pony tail. Before the "End" he just kept it long and let it go where every nature said his hair should go but now he needed it out of the way and not able to distract him.
Then he quickly got dressed taking his leather jacket and strong metal toed boots. Then he made a quick heart breakfast for the challenge ahead. After scarfing it all down he started organizing his dorm and listing down in his head of what he would need for the beginning of the "End". He had ample food and water supplies he had clothes survival equipment and had a hardy machete and bandolier of hunting knifes. All he needed next was more of everything and guns.
They were incredibly useful in the beginning since each -G tier creature skin could be pierced by bullets but they became useless to those without gun specific classes and only came back once they figured out how to enchant them.
Quickly he rushed out his dorm skipping school calling in sick, he drove straight towards the nearby supermarket, and started grabbing as much food and water as he could after ignoring the stares of those watching he loaded up his truck and drove to the gun store and got an assortment of weapons and a couple of grenades, mines and claymores.
Once finished with is purchases he drove back to his dorm and organized the supplies he had been given in specific bags and after that he put it in his truck and drove towards New York square right in front of the new year ball.
Once parked he moved to secure his supplies from thieves and robbers as a precaution. Then he checked the time 11:50 am he had 10 minuets to do anything else he needed to do. As such he went to a nearby medical store and stocked up on medicine as well as condoms for emergency's if he ever needed to bring out his seduction skills to survive. Then he went to but large amounts of cigars, a way to earn easy money depending on your situation once the end begun.
Then he stood in the back of his truck making sure all of his bags were touching him. He had come to NY square for a reason those who were in popular spots once the end begun had a chance to start in an event. An event was another reality were you could start your introduction to the system.
They allowed for a less chance to die at the beginning and better access to skills, classes titles and more. Which was why he was risking it to try and start in one, NY square was were the boss monsters poured out once the end begun.
He checked the time again. 11:59 am 1 minute before the end begun, he chuckled, and let his seriousness subside and let his true self show for the remaining minute. He spread out his hands to the random citizens near him, firstly checking the time he had 9 seconds left, and then shouting as loud as he could. It was pretty fucking loud.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! I hope you all good luck in your battles and fights Santread Lo!"
And then the world turned black. The words he had said were a good luck charm from the event "To the Holds" from the warrior people of "Lo" and hopefully he would give those nearby some luck, he doubted it but they needed whatever they could get, but first he turned himself around and laid his eyes upon a familiar blue screen once he read it he grinned.

The darkness faded and he found himself in a white cube filled with 99 other people 100 if you included him. Then a small goblin in a fancy suit and top hat appeared in the sky. He quickly moved to a corner pushing those who thought the same out of the way and quickly said

Once he finished checking his talent and confirming he still had his talent, he was slightly concerned at his Luk stat but that was a problem for future him, then he quickly went through what the event master has said.
The event master had explained the stage, it was a medieval event where guns wouldn't be able to be used. Unfortunate but not surprising. Then he had explained that the 100 people, including himself, would be split 50-50 and would go to one side and be trained for a week were they could grow stronger.
Then they would fight each other and the side who won could go back to earth, the event master did not explain the situation back on earth though, the winners would definitely appreciate what they came back to.
After he finished combing through his memories he and everyone else was transported to there training camps, he was on the red side after looking at the coloring of the camp, then he looked at his fellow teammates. He found them wanting. It seemed he would have to kill them all and carry the event himself. Unless one of them had a healing or buffing talent then they would at least be useful.
He then turned towards the incoming armored commander who used "Shout" to quickly force everyone into a line. Even him, he did not have high enough stats or level to resist instantly, but he was the first to break the effect after 3 seconds of course he was as strong as he was before.
The trainer did this to see who he would prioritize training and see who he could use a fodder for the stronger awakened, which is what event humans knew us as, he quickly ,but subtlety moved his head testing whether I could see that, directing me towards the main tent.
Where I could finally begin my journey to get myself all the GAINS and finally start murdering people.
