Chapter 10 - New life

~ Letter from the Director ~

"Congratulations! This is a message straight from Me, so you better not miss it or ignore it! I want to congratulate you for ranking 9th until round 10! And then, you reached 1st place after killing your friend. I can only say it was splendid! I see that you've also chosen a wonderful Sponsor! Now, let's get to the point:

1. The Game will start in less than 5 hours. Until then, you can do whatever you want in this room.

2. You will be teleported to the first Island or Level, whichever you prefer to call it.

3. You better be careful about what you say to the chosen God.

4. Check your Class and weapon.

5. Since you won round 10, here's your prize: 9350 gold coins on your side, and 1500 is the victory prize.

6. You can add a Nickname to hide your real name.

With that said, good luck!

Signed, D.R.K"

 A nickname? I have a few ideas, it's not for nothing that I've played so many games. Now, let's see. Black? Nah, too common. R.I.P? I'm not five years old anymore. Use my name? I don't want to start from "Zero." I've lost everything... Zero? The last thing I saw before this chaos... It was an Eclipse. Zeclipse!! Z - Zero (Nothing. A new life), and Eclipse... Eclipse.

Nickname: ZECLIPSE Set/Cancel

"You've set 'ZECLIPSE' except for Erebus and Managers. No other participant in the game will be able to see your name."

Perfect then. Now, let's check the "Class"... "Specialist"!!

What the heck? And this weapon? What is it? "Soul of Beast"?

What the hell? I don't understand anything... What?...The heck is this "trigger"? Two swords that turn into a spear with two blades?

What the heck, and the name changed! Each with its own name, "Oxyuranus Fang" and "Claw Harpy"... each with different stats. I guess I'm getting the idea of being a "Specialist."

"Primordial Chaos" (info)

Creates a room that taps into the raw, ancient forces of disorder and unpredictability, allowing the user to manipulate the very essence of chaos to reshape reality or disrupt order. The effect will be active for both the user and the opponent. The room will deactivate according to the following conditions:

1. User's decision.

2. Time expiration, maximum 30 minutes.

3. User's death.

The user can bring along one opponent. This can transport more opponents if the ability is evolved.

Evolution Condition Level 2: Unknown

An interesting ability. I have nothing to complain about, I will test it soon. Now let's see what else I received and how many coins I have left.

"Erebus's Chest" Open

-Bat Wings (mantle)

 -Owl Eye (necklace)

 -5 Max HP potions

 -2 Attack boost potions

 -10 apples

 -3 bottles of water

 -Slingshot

Some interesting items.

"I don't know how that stupid bracelet was ranked A. But these two are tens of times better.Alright, let's see what we can find in the shop.I have potions."

Inventory:

(13) small HP potions

(7) medium HP potions

(5) Max HP potions

(3) Attack boost potions

.

Well, it seems not much has been added yet.

Food and water I have... I bought a Rain Cape (50 Gold)... hopefully, I didn't waste money on it. A sleeping bag and some clothes will cost around 200 gold. I hope to find something good.

Alright, let's see what we can find in the shop.

I have potions.

Inventory:

(13) small HP potions

(7) medium HP potions

(3) Attack boost potions

Alright, I found something that probably useful: the "Encyclopedia." Let's see what it can do.

"The Encyclopedia is a book that provides information gathered from previous Avatars. Condition: the player must interact with any object, animal, creature, plant... etc. Then the book will reveal information about it. The more interaction, the more detailed the information."

Seems like an interesting item for its price... 100k gold coins??? Are they crazy? Where am I supposed to get that much money... I can cover a maximum of 18% of its price... DAMN... what's with these prices???

| Black Dagger: 50k gold coins

 Forest Axe: 350k gold coins

 Night Cape: 167k gold coins

.

Are they kidding me?

Pfff, what am I supposed to do? What's that?

"(info) You can request a loan from your Sponsor with a minimum interest rate of 15%. If you fail to repay the loan by the agreed-upon deadline, this will be instantly resolved with the confiscation of your assets. Would you like to request a loan?"

What the heck? 15% minimum interest rate?

Well... I hope it's worth it...

"Message from Erebus!" Open

"I'll agree to pay for that item in exchange for an interest rate of 23%. Or I'll receive 80% of your earnings until you can repay the loan. Your choice."

Damn... what the heck should I do...

~ Time until the start of the first level: 04:06 ~

I still have 4 hours to think. What's this?

"Skills book" Open

You obtained "Predator of Terror":

Active skill

Any opponent who feels even the slightest trace of fear will be affected by this skill.

You will be able to track the opponent even if they become invisible, camouflage themselves, or hide. The opponent automatically receives a debuff of 25% on all defensive statistics they possess.

The user will receive a buff of 25% on all offensive statistics. If the opponent is in a state of terror, they will be paralyzed by fear for roughly 5 seconds. This skill allows the user to sense any possible "prey" within a radius of 10m.

What the heck kind of skill is this? A skill that relies on fear?

So, let me understand correctly. I got a "Class" and a new weapon. I received a sponsor who offered me a chest and an ability. Then I received another ability from the "game." So that means each of us has at least 2 abilities:

1. An ability that allows me to "teleport" with someone for a 1v1 duel.

2. The passive ability based on the opponent's fear.

...I really don't have luck. What the hell?

Now let's see... Erebus wants a 23% rate. Screw it... Why the hell do I want that damn book...

"Erebus sent you a new offer."

What the hell does he want now?

"Zeclipse? Nice name. To start off right, I propose a new option. I'll cover the entire value of the book. In return, I want 35% of everything you earn until level 15. What do you say?"

109k gold... covers it now, which allows me to keep almost 18k gold. But something stinks... why the hell 35% and until level 15. This means that if I somehow get hold of a million gold, he'll take 350k of it. And that will continue until level 15... But I don't like that rate either... Well, Erebus, I'll go for the second option.

Erebus has purchased the "Encyclopedia" for you. The contract will come into effect once the Game starts.

Let's see why on earth I made that contract...

CLASS - SPECIALIST

This class is a unique class that has certain conditions:

1. The Specialist cannot use any other weapon besides the one they received at the beginning of the GAME.

2. This class cannot receive any debuff effects from its equipment, such as (slowing down due to weight).

3. Although the Specialist cannot change the weapon like other classes, they can use small to medium-sized weapons as secondary weapons (knives, daggers, blades).

4. The Specialist's weapon can only be upgraded by Master Blacksmiths, only by meeting certain conditions and using certain necessary items.

5. Weapons sold by Specialists have priority over those sold by players from other classes.

5.1. The Specialist has an additional profit ranging from 1.25-5% for each item sold.

5.2. Specialists have a higher priority in purchasing equipment.
