Haneul worked up in a strange place the place was dump and wet almost feels a forest grass he looked at it. It really was a forest grass he, doesn't remember going on a forest or anything — he was just in his apartment playing a game.
And then he noticed it he was not alone in this strange place there are hundred of bodies lying around him. Some are already waking up some are still sleeping.
"Hey — sir do you know where we are." Haneul asked a old man beside him.
"No I don't know this place too." The old man shrugged his head off.
Haneul was more confused now that he saw something strange — the clouds was purple like a storm that doesn't want to fall.
He stand up trying to see more of his sorrounding but all he see was a vast tree line in all directions.
Before he could venture farther off a strange noice came from the center of the plains. Then came a being of darkness and grim going out of seems to be portal to the unknown.
The crowd panicked screamed and scrambled to get away from.
"HELP ME—!." A guy shout as high as he can as the being step out of the portal.
The being stood but didn't attack.
"Welcome Mortals" The being spoke with creepy yet mechanical tone. It's voice can be heard not from the wind but from the mind.
"I Welcome those who are chosen in the gods Trial." The being continued others have already started whispering with each other.
"What do you mean by chosen?." A guy ask from the crowd others started to look at him.
The being give a wide grin from his supposed to be face. Giving ominous vibe around the crowd.
"Mortals you should be grateful to be chosen as a player in the gods Trial." The being spoke with obvious happiness.
"Those who are chosen have the chance to ascend to much greater being to perfection."
The crowd started to look at each other still trying to comprehend what's in front of them. Haneul just stand by the sidelines listening to what the being said.
"The only thing all of you mortals need to do is amuse the gods who watched and they should reward you accordingly."
"What if I don't want to participate in this game or whatsoever!." A thug looking guy shout from the crowd.
The being grin slowly disappeared looking sad or frowning Haneul can't quite make out it's expression. The being raised his hands and point one finger at the guy then all of a sudden a burst of energy flowed out of the being finger.
"WHIZZZ—"
Then all of a sudden the thug head disappeared in an instant the crowd near him scrambled away screaming some showing disgust and some show fear in their eyes.
"Are there others who doesn't want to play?." Of course no one answered back after seeing what happened to the guy.
"Then let me proceed." the being cleared his throat before speaking again "As I said earlier you must entertain the gods who watched but of course we will not give you empty handed that will be boring for them to watch." The grin from the being face are back now.
The being snapped his finger then out of the blue a blue transparent panel appeared before Haneul eyes.
"What the—." Haneul said out of surprise.
"Surprise I know most of you already know about this — a generic fantasy — STATUS PANEL." The being looks proud of his creation while saying this.
Though the panel was still empty right now it felts too real for Haneul he only saw this type of things in Web novels that he reads.
The being snapped his fingers again in the blinked of an eye the status panel changed now having Haneul name and attributes.
[NAME: LEE HANEUL]
[CLASS: ——— ]
[STR - 5 ]
[END - 4 ]
[AGI - 6 ]
[MAG - 0 ]
[VIT- 10 ]
[UNALLOCATED POINTS - 0 ]
The attributes kindly reflect his own body even though he was athletic like some he was excellent enough in his academic studies.
"Should have worked out more If I knew this will happen." Haneul said sighing.
The being continued to talk "Did you guys took a liking – this should reflect your body attributes." The being pause for a moment listening if the crowd liked it.
The crowd stayed silent and the being could only sighed "Well well I put a bad image at the first meet I can't deny that."
"Well then as a compensation." The being snapped his finger again. In a second 50 unallocated points quickly appeared in Haneul system and the others as well.
[NAME: LEE HANEUL]
[CLASS: ——— ]
[STR - 5 ]
[END - 4 ]
[AGI - 6 ]
[MAG - 0 ]
[VIT- 10 ]
[UNALLOCATED POINTS - 50 ]
"Ain't this too much for a compensation..." Haneul whispered but he didn't not care less 50 free points is 50 free points.
"All of you could do whatever you want with that. Think twice before tapping" The being said "But do think carefully it's a waste if the points get wasted." The being laughed the type of laughed that goes straight to the bones.
Others have already started distributing their points perspectively other boast about how they balance all of their points in all of their attributes. But Haneul knows that it's a dumb move doing that only make him vulnerable it's a knowledge he get from playing too much games.
Haneul stares at the panel for a long time then he decide.
He put all of the points in the magic attributes sparing not a single one.

"They might have all the defense in the world but I would one shot them if I use this properly." Haneul said showing faint grin in his face.
"Oh yeah I almost forgot to tell everyone AHEM." The being spoke again "The objective for this world is that survived for 30 days those who survived the hurdle and challenge – have the chance to go back to their own world or go ascend to the next world."
The others didn't mind himthistime they're seems busy allocating they're points.
"Well then it seems my role here is done." The being spoke a little while later a portal open again "Till we meet again."
After the being disappearance a notification arrived in the panel.
[TASK: SURVIVE 719:59:30 ]
"Well this doesn't seem to be a dream anymore." Haneul said while stretching his body.
"Might just as well enjoy this."
