Chapter 1

I was stunned as I read the system message right in front of my eyes. I had just seen my family murdered and tortured, then get murdered myself, and now I had a system message in front of my eyes. I still wasn't over the shock of what had just transpired.

'The system message doesn't seem like it will go away any time soon.'

I sat there in the darkness, which I realized was probably the afterlife, for a long time, mulling over everything I had just witnessed. It was too shocking. Everything I loved was either dead or still being tortured.

'Damn it. I guess the only thing to do now is to see what this system has to offer me.'

I knew I wasn't going to be able to get over this incident, probably ever, but I didn't want to spend eternity sitting there. It would just be too painful.

'Yes.'

As the thought entered my head, everything went a bright white. The next thing I knew, I was sitting in the middle of a dark cave.

[Welcome to the world of Kireina, Kura! Kireina is home to many different races included in the following: Humans, Demi-humans, Demons, and Gods. At present, the Gods' whereabouts are unknown. After a battle with the Demons 300 hundred years ago, the Gods suddenly disappeared.

Demons and Humans are in constant strife, while the Demihumans are known to mind their own business. Demihumans usually are used as slaves by both Humans and Demons. There is one other being, and that is the monsters. Monsters are not considered a race due to them only living in dungeons and fields. Some types of monsters will overthrow towns or cities to have a place to live. No one knows where monsters originated from, but 3,000 years ago, dungeons and monsters appeared out of nowhere. Every living being has magic, except for animals. Upon birth, everyone has a set amount of stats. Stats cannot grow. Since Kura has the system, you are the exception. As a Player, your stats can increase by leveling up. Gods are usually born with the highest amount of stats, but that doesn't mean there are no exceptions. There will always be someone strong enough to rival other, more powerful races. Demons have the second-highest stats. Humans have the third-highest stats. Lastly, the Demihumans have the lowest amount of stats. Monster stats vary depending on their tier. There is one exception though, Elves, a subclass of Demihumans, usually have more potent magic than Humans.]

[Since Kura is the first Player, you will be able to choose out of the many classes available.]

[Classes Available -

Swordsmen, Assassin, Mage, Ranger, Berserker, Cleric, Necromancer, or Summoner.]

'Holy crap, this is pretty much like a game!'

I sat there in the cave for a little while, contemplating on what class to choose.

'I need a class that can help me fight multiple monsters during a battle. Like a Necromancer or a Summoner.'

I thought for a little while longer until I came to a decision.

'Necromancer'
