Chapter 1 - Astral Alchemy

Saffron City, Silver Province :

In the Saffron Public High, everyone is getting ready for the schedule today, the classes began a few moments ago, students are chattering around. Every students, teacher and staff in school are spending their duty with usual routine.

Suddenly the sky blackened and started thundering, howls of wolves started getting louder, the earth itself started shaking, a boy who just left his dorms and rushing to the class, thinking he will be late immediately thought it's an earth quake and going to hide somewhere, but suddenly something lunged at him.

The boy turned to a wolf, he is frightened, immediately grabbed the iron baseball bat he is carrying and smashed the wolf away in anxiety. As the wolf got hit by the iron bat, it got sent flying a few meters away then shook it's head, ig oring th blood seeping from it's head it growled angrily at the boy and charged at him once again.

The boy who has a moment of thought immediately took action against and hit the wolf, it whimpered and fell down, still tried to stand up, the boy lifted the bat and smashed the head of the wolf again and again few times until there are no longer any whimpers from the wolf, it lay dead in a pool of blood. Before he can breathe a sigh of relief a window appeared in front of him.

[ Conditions have been satisfied to become a player ]

[ As the first one to kill a monster in the survival game you'll be given a unique skill for your achievement upon agreeing to become a player ]

[ Do you agree to become a player? ]

[ Yes / No ]

Damian blinked looking at the transparent screen that appeared. He frowned, pinched himself and then clicked yes after confirming he isn't hallucinating. Could this be some kind of apocalypse that is going to descend. Damian thought while looking at the screen.

As soon as he clicked yes, a loading screen appeared. Damian felt a warmth injected into his limbs but he has no time, growls of wolves are heard, he turned to see a group of wolves running towards his direction from a distance, ignoring the feeling he immediately ran back into the dorms.

As he locked himself in a nearby room, the window completed loading and granted him a unique skill or something.

[ Congratulations! You're given the Title - First Player ]

[ Congratulations! You have gained the Achievement - First kill ]

[ Congratulations! You have awakened the unique innate skill - Astral Alchemy (???) ]

Damian blinked at the notifications. He opened what appeared like his own status. There is his photo on the right, his stats and details as a list. It looks like a fancy resume of his, with a photo of him.

He can also see his health, mana and stamina bars below his picture. Damian took a deep breath, novice club arts, does swinging a bat can be considered using club, good thing he is in the baseball team, It's good to use. Damian thought maybe this is some kind of apocalypse type game like he read in some novels.

The first objective is to survive, the second objective is to gather everything needed for survival, third objective is to find information on what is happening, fourth is to gather companions. Sure going solo can do something but it's not enough, one person can't do anything, he needs some people he can trust and reply on. He also needs to find a place to stay safe too.

Now let's see what are the things he got from this so called being a player, what is this title and the advantages he has. First the skills.

Damian mind went blank. This skill looks ominous and also very useful at the same time.
