Standing roadside on a bustling street, Attrix watched as people moved on with their lives without any awareness of anyone else.
However the bigger matter for him was neither the people or the awareness but the luck that kept rolling into his pocket.
"No wonder these people keep stumbling on my leg, it's a damn bar around the corner that sent these drunks."
He was joyous, watching as he sits around with his leg stretched out and drunks kept getting knocked out by stumbling on his leg.
"Status... Show me the luck exchange shop."

"... I feel like a beggar right now.. Wait!, I am already a beggar ain't I?"
Attrix's mood fell like a fish down a waterfall. He didn't have a single stat worth of luck points.
Then he felt a jolt in his head, a tingling feeling that came to his mind.
"I guess the gateway is the only option."
Determining himself, Attrix stood up to his feets, his head turning as he looked at the sky where his target stood.
It was a swirling cloud, a cloud that was covering most of the city's middle section like a cyclone but yet there was no wind within.
This was a gateway. a gateway to the real world of Lucidia where most of the Evolvers fought for domination.
However just as Attrix was about to take his first step, he heard a voice.
"Going to a gateway in your state? Are you trying to make a fastest death record."
Attrix turned to the bar again, his gaze meeting someone else's.
It was person, that was all Attrix could say after he looked upon h–... It. A person covered from head to toe in black clothing with armor padding which barely left only the hair free.
The voice was hoarse and robotic, probably because of a voice changer and a mask covered the face as if the apocalypse has arrived.
"Won't know unless I try. Who are you to stop me anyway?"
"Someone who is good enough to warn idiots like you from ending up in stomachs of the corrupted."
The person shrugged off the answer and moved, leaving Attrix behind while itself going for the city center.
However Attrix wasn't one to give up, especially when he knew all the plotholes and stories he had wrote himself.
So with a smile, he moved forward without fear with a bloodsmeared rusty dagger he found in the trash and a black cloak he 'borrowed' from a drunkard.

"I want a refund."
"Why are we getting stopped? We have our passes!"
"Open the damn barricades you government pricks!"
The city center, a place big enough to fit a stadium but right now it was crowded like no else.
Soldiers stood everywhere, people completely blocked from the rift of the gateway as the Evolvers were blocked by both force and law from entering.
Attrix stood in the lines, his shabby appearance making many believe him to be a beggar here for change.
Many kind ones tried to give him some money. However each and everyone were shocked when they saw the rusty dagger at his waist.
Wierd remarks like who he is begin spreading like a wildfire and eventually half the crowd was looking at him.
"Who is that guy? To come here with a rusty dagger is no short feat."
"He must be poor as hell."
"Or is confident enough to pass with a rusty dagger."
"Maybe he has a trait... Like those in the big families or some–"
"SILENCE!"
A roaring voice reduced the crowd to spectators, a single person's words making the city center to be plunged into complete silence.
Then, the sound of footsteps echoed as soldiers marched forward while being led by a bulky behemoth of a man.
The man wore a military uniform with a scar across his eyes and arms and a indented nose that was broken.
"There he is... General Elisp of Southern force."
Attrix smiled, his plan has worked as the fish he had baited came straight to him.
Soon the general was right in front of him, the pressure almost causing people nearby to faint as the difference in levels sent fear into everyone. Everyone except Attrix.
"So you are the guy the crowd was talking about... Rather shabby looking aren't you?"
"Does my appearance matter? I will rather wear something that helps me move around instead of Armor in the tutorial."
"You are here for the tutorial? Aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid of what? No matter which of the five monsters came it is a easy win for me."
The general as shocked by Attrix's answers. The new tutorial's contents weren't supposed to be released already but here was someone who already knew them.
"You talk as if you have seen them already."
"Because I have. I have a seer trait."
The crowd and soldier were silent, everybody shocked beyond words. A seer trait was supposed to be highest of foresight class skills and here was some claiming he was one of those treasured Evolvers.
"Tell me the beast names then. The biggest ones of the five."
...
Attrix smirked, his smile almost turning into a grin as he opened his mouth and said only one word.
"Trampiler."
The general flinched, almost sweating to be really in front of a seer which seemed to have no problem with his body whatsoever.
"Open the gates."
"Pardon? General we s-
"OPEN THE GATES FOR THE SEER. NOBODY ENTERS UNTIL THE SEER PASSES HIS TUTORIAL!! THIS IS A ORDER SOLDIER."
"Y-yes sir!!"
Then with a quick salute the soldiers left while the general personally guides Attrix to the rift.
"I wish you good luck."
" Heh. Then I grant you good luck."
Attrix smiled as he moved his lips and whispered a few words to the general before leaving.
"Excavate fifth grave in blosomal town's graveyard."

Suddenly, Attrix felt himself moving through space, his body being felt like it was being torn apart.
Then with a thud, he felt his feet touch ground as he landed and instantly fell to his knees.
"Phase 2 complete. Now where the heck am I ?
He lifted his head to look around, finding himself in a cave filled with dripping stone and spiky wall with a stream of water underneath.
"Duranch cave. Guess I will be fighting rats then."
Attrix wasn't very excited at the thought of fighting hundreds of rats but there benefits in complaining.
So he rose to his feet and moved forward. His journey in Lucidia has officially began.
