"Ugh..." James groaned weakly as he rolled over on the dirty floor and faced the ceiling of his confinement cell. The room was dark, stuffy, and stank of dried urine and feces. He tried to focus intently but he couldn't make out anything on the ceiling – the room was very dark.A small rat ran across the room and stopped by his leg which was covered in grime so thick that it depicted how long he had stayed without a proper bath. He was so weak that he couldn't even shrug the rat away so he left it there– after all, its presence made him feel less lonely.'What did I do to deserve all this?' James thought to himself as tears of sorrow and regret streaked down his eyes, 'Just because I'm the unwanted one? They've decided to treat me like trash and throw me away. Well, I've decided to grant them their wish– I'll die here and save everyone the bother of seeing a failure like me.'There was a noise at the metal door and a slot was opened, revealing the hard face of a guard. James squinted

"It functions basically like a game– those of you who played games while growing up will understand of course." General Bush continued, Some people nodded in agreement but the same couldn't be said for James because while his mates played games and enjoyed childhood, he scrubbed floors and washed curtains, his only experience with games was whenever he came into Ryan's room to serve his food while the latter would be sitting on the floor playing games with his friends. James clenched his fists and gritted his teeth at the unfortunate memory, 'If this 'system' should give me powers then a lot of people will p...' "To see your system, think about 'status' and observe the stats that have been placed before you ." 'So that's it?' James thought, 'Status.'

The evaluation room was a square-shaped room with white walls and a tinted screen that covered a large portion of one part of the wall. The room was empty except for the small objects that lay in the center of the room. James suspected that they were kept there in case people with inoffensive systems had to demonstrate their powers. "SUBJECT 40 STATE YOUR NAME!" The P.A. bellowed out to him and he grimaced softly, whoever was dishing out these orders was probably behind that screen. ''Why will I have to state my name?'' James groaned with a roll of his eyeballs, ''you called me here by my name." "DON'T MAKE THIS ANY MORE DIFFICULT THAN IT HAS TO BE. STATE YOUR NAME." The voice came again, it sounded annoyed and James couldn't help but feel a twinge of excitement at it. "My name is James Jade." James drawled, "JAMES JADE, OPEN YOUR SYSTEM AND TELL US YOUR TITLE." 'My title?' James thought. He quickly remembered that his system had blocked his title so he didn't know what it wa

It was Damon Gate. "His win was just a fluke. Any half-witted person will know that if this was a normal duel, this skinny freak wouldn't have stood a chance against Byron." "Look here man," the spiky-haired man said aggressively, "if you think that James' win was a fluke and you want to have a go at him, you can simply just challenge him to a duel and take his championship. It's as easy as that." Damon beamed widely at the offer and turned to James, "I challenge you to a duel." James narrowed his eyes at Damon and smirked wickedly. Here was his chance to get his revenge on him for embarrassing him earlier. "I accept your challenge." In the next five minutes, James and Damon were standing on the stage while the rest of the men watched them from below. Byron had finally regained consciousness and had gone to one corner of the room to sulk as he glared at James with hate in his eyes. He didn't want anything to do with his followers anymore because he had lost that almightiness i

James yelled as he turned the walls around him into huge balls of flame and ice respectively. He increased them in a way that they would bring down the front gates and the control room where the instructions came from at the same time."What's he doing?" "That looks dangerous!""Can a subject really do that?"The soldiers could be heard talking with themselves from the comms."What do we do sir? This subject is looking dangerous!"No reply came from his superior and he would probably never hear any reply because James released his blasts and they razed the sniper towers, the gates, and the control room to the ground, destroying everyone and everything inside it.[Ding!]MP: 0/100Warning: MP has been completely depleted. User can no longer perform skills."Uh... Is that what I'm supposed to see?" James asked his system in confusion. 'No level up or quest completed notification?'He hadn't even noticed that he was almost half naked as he stood amidst the rubble that he created. The e
