{System Alert}

Welcome user to the world of Atlas!

The world of Atlas is a tier 0 world, the world tier system is as follows

tier 0- little to no danger for average humans, Earth is used as the base template for worlds like these, usually are larger, in a different galaxy or are fundamentally the same and different from earth, usually involving mana, aura, chi, or some other foreign energy that is not available on Earth Prime.Many also have fantasy species and are under attack by forces of evil as they the usually the easiest to conquer[An;hint hint] 

tier 1- these world are more dangerous usually having various species, and fantasy elements thrown into the mix, this is also where dungeons can start to form, whether naturally or by other means.

tiers 2+ are locked as user has yet to finish trial world. 

{Good luck aspiring Auditor, how you influence this world will greatly affect your first assignment. Your system will boot up shortly!}

'Wow, thats a big lake.' I thought after reading the system message, it seems that I had been spat out onto a small fishing abandoned fishing pier if the rotted wood was anything to go off of, but what really caught my attention was the lake, large and blue massive with forests all around it, it looked perfect, after reading over the system message I read the name of this world 'Atlas', i wondered what kind of adventure I would find here, and when my system would finally arrive.

{System Alert}

As if right on queue, the system screen popped up, but this time instead of blue it was a light green that was nearly see through. I started to read it.

{Greeting user (Ethan Burke) and welcome to the Exchange system!}

"What kind of system are you, do I have to speak to you out loud? Is anyone else able to see you?" I asked unable to keep my excitement at bay

{The Exchange system is a system that awards point based of actions good, or bad, using these points the user is able to reallocate stat points, and purchase items in the shop, the shop refreshes one everyday, due to the (SUPERINTENDENT) taking notice of your sacrifice, you have also been given the missions add-on, this allows you to not only take on system missions(which you could already do) but also allows other beings with the right amount of power to give you missions as well that each come with their own separate reward. In addition the user is also able to talk to the system telepathically, and is able to view the system screen at anytime while also remaining unseen to ALL entities, other than fellow Auditors, and being above the tier 8 threshold.}

'ok wow that was a lot of information, maybe i shouldn't ask so many questions next time' I thought with a bit of a headache, 'this is so cool, I wonder what kind of things I'll be able to buy, and what kind of missions I'll be given?' I thought with wonder, still trying to process the fact that I had been reborn with a system, just like all those books that my sister could read for hours, he never really understood the allure of it, but now that he was living it he could't wait to explore everything about this world and his system. 'Hey system, could I see my stats please?'

{Of course User} the system said

{Beginning package available, Auditor package available, would you like to open?}

'I guess i'll be using my fists for a while' I thought seeing my high strength and endurance. Looking down further I could see that two packages were available 'System, open the two packages please.' {of course}

{Your have received Beginner package, you received the following:

Iron Sword:1

{You have received Auditor package, you received the following:

observation skill: All-Sight(bronze)

Special title: Auditor(bronze)

x1 M9 Frag Grenade(Halo)

Good luck}

'Sweet now I can defend my self!' seeing the the iron sword I got out of the box. 'Hey system whats the special title for? And why did i get a grenade, and why does is say "Halo" next to it?' I asked the system in confusion {Well host, the Special title:Auditor signifies that you are an Auditor in the trial stage hence why it is only at bronze rank, but don't worry as you complete missions your rank will increase, the benefits of the title are as follows: Minor Mental resistance, passive body enhancement(bronze) this two this will scale according to your Auditor rank. As for why one of your items had the (Halo) tag, that is because it comes from the Halo universe, when you unlock the item shop you will be able to exchange points of other materials/items for something of equal value from a multitude of sources, this is done so that you have a variety of options for dealing with things that you come across.}.

'Wow ok, that was a mental flash-bang.' To think that all those fantasy and sci-fi games and comics he used to read might actually be real was mind-boggling to say the least, but it also gave him and opportunity to try and visit those places as well, he was getting excited by the prospect that one day he might be able to meet some cool people like Captain America or Batman! Then just in time the system poured cold water all over him {Host, before thinking about meeting such figures, it might be worthwhile taking into consideration how unfriendly most things in the universe are, so host is advised not to get a big head and to think rationally.} Ethan stared at the message for a brief moment than realized that it was right, the multiverse was full of scary things, he couldn't help but shudder thinking of the things that hide in the big scary universes like Marvel and DC, not to mention a certain universe with a big golden boi sitting in his big recliner while humanity fights against literally everything, he hoped he would never have to go there. 'So system can I see what my stats look like now?' {Of course host here you go.}

'hey system I can use skill points to upgrade my skills just like a video game right?' {That is correct host} 'sweet, then can I use my skill point and upgrade All-Sight?' {Unfortunately not host, as the skill (All-Sight) is tied to your Auditor rank as there are many things that if you use the skill and look upon its true form, your mind would shatter, it has happened before so this limiter is set in place so that new Auditors such as yourself do not go braindead looking at something they shouldn't have.} ' oof that's scary, it makes sense though, I'd hate to see the true form of some Cosmic horror, thanks for telling me that system.' {your welcome host}

After that scare I took everything out of the system and put my sword on my waist with the grenade left in the system inventory just incase, you can never be to careful around things like that, and the hygiene kit was put into his backpack, now he just needed to figure out what he was supposed to do now. . . 'What am I supposed to do here?' he thought after a second seeing as the system had not given him a mission, and as if right on cue the ground started to shake, panicking Ethan wondered if an earthquake was happening, the out of the forest came a horde of small green monsters[AN;Screw goblins!]and there were at least a couple hundred of themif he was seeing things right. 'Welp I know what i'm doing now' he thought as he started to run in the opposite direction to avoid getting caught in what was hopefully not one of those beast waves that he read about back on earth, things that brought monsters and death whenever they happened, 'hey system is there a town, or someplace with people that I can run to and not get caught?' he asked while slowly started to pull ahead of the horde behind him {There is a walled settlement approximately 1.5 kilometers to the north, the host is advised to hurry to not get caught by the beast wave, even if it is a small one.) 'crap it IS a beast wave' he thought with a grimace as his luck stat didn't seem to be of much help at the moment, then he suddenly realized that the system said the town was 1.5 KILOMETERS, and as a citizen of a certain free country his face went blank as he didn't understand what a kilometer was, as if sensing his confusion the system came to his aid { The town is only 0.9 miles away host} 'ooooh ok thanks system!' he thought since it made the distance seem much shorter to his brain. { . . . } 'its only 0.9 miles' he thought, thinking that he would be there in no time at all. Boy what he wrong.
