Dave's heart raced as he walked through the street littered with a pile of dead bodies. He wore a torn clothes while carrying his 1 year old sister in his arms. Tears filled his sea blue eyes as he tried to locate the bodies of his parents in the pile of dead bodies.

He was dressed in a white shirt and black trousers. He had beautiful features like his ink dark hair, blue crystal eyes and fair skin.

It happened so fast, the space itself torn and monsters spilled in. His village was the first to suffer the painful fate. It was pure massacre a d complete chaos.

The air filled with the screams of people who were devoured by strange monsters who came out of nowhere.

It had all happened so fast the attack from the monsters was in the middle of the night and it caught the villagers off guard.

One moment he was sleeping peacefully and the next his parents suddenly rushed into the room and woke him up. They told him to carry his little sister and head to the basement underneath the house.

He watched through the crack of the door as his parents were ripped apart, their cries of pain echoing in his ears. With his heart pounding in his chest, he had grabbed his sister tightly while resisting the urge to cry for fear of being heard by the monster.

Now walking in the piles of blood of his villagers who were his friends, family tears fell freely in his eyes. The once familiar streets were now littered with the blood and stench of blood.

The village wasn't a big one and almost everyone knew each other. Seeing the bones and blood of his parents he felt heartbroken.

The monsters have returned to where they came from leaving him and his sister the only survivors in the village of over a hundred people.

The village which were mostly noisy at night became as silent as a grave yard.

********Real Day*****

"Ahhh," Dave yelled from sleep as he sat up, his face filled with sweat. His clothes were soaked and so was the bed he was on. He had a scared look like someone who just saw a ghost.

"This old memory," Dave said with a sigh as he sat up on the wooden bed. It was already morning. He quickly stood up and refreshed himself.

The incident happen 13 years ago and he is now 21 years old but the memory still tormented him almost everyday.

After the unfortunate event, he got accepted by a new village together with his little sister who took pity on him. The cause of the monster outbreak was unknown to everyone. But one thing was clear, anytime a dungeon appears it brings nothing more than bad luck and chaos.

Humanity suffered by this date till one day, The sky itself opened and blessings descended on people in a streak of green light, giving them unique abilities which humans use to ward off Monsters attack. But people who are 16 years or above could use it.

But bad luck seems to follow him like a fly. While everyone was getting amazing abilities including strength, strong healing Dave got the most useless skill. He got a useless skill of Vision making him a disgrace and a push over in the village.

Apart from seeing things more clearly it does nothing else. While others flex their abilities he curls up in his room in silence.

He gets bullied by his peers and most of the members in his mercenary group of mercenary. In this cold world the strong are worshipped while the weak are bullied. He learned it the hard way.

"Hey wake up sleepy head, a dungeon appeared in the north east direction of the village. Mercenary number 504 is in charge of clearing it," Jack, the commander of the white jade pack said in a loud voice as he banged the door.

Dave was surprised, a dungeon appeared this early. He quickly readied himself to avoid delaying his members.

As he reached the group he was showered with eyes containing disdain and contempt but he just ignored it. This wasn't his first time being treated this way by them.

"This is our third mission ever since we were a pack. Our former missions were either left uncompleted or we called for backups due to some people lagging off. But this time there won't be any mistakes. If you know you would only be a liability to the group it is advisable you back down from this mission," Commander Jack a handsome young man in his mid twenties and the heartthrob of almost every girls in the village not only for his amazing talent but also his exquisite physical features said with his sharp blue eyes scanning everyone.

Dave knew he was the one they were referring to, he was the one always slowing the group down and being clumsy.

Seeing that nobody stepped down, Commander Jack said again.

"This time the mission is extra hard since the dungeon threat level is 5 coming there is the same as risking your lives. Are you sure you all want to go?"

"Yes Sure," They all said in a loud voice.

"Then let's head out and show those monsters what we are made of," Commander Jack said, lifting the morale of his members.

At the entrance of the dungeon, bone chilling frost filled with evil energy was spilled. Dave quickly used his skill to scan the area. It was quite strange, the dungeon had been open for over 30 minutes and no monster had come out. After scanning he also confirmed that there was no monster in sight.

"Was the detection of the threat level wrong?" Dave thought while keeping his guard up. He held tightly to his long white sword.

"Micheal and Dave, head to the left part of the dungeon, Alex and Fred, the right part of the dungeon. Rowland and I are going to the middle. If you encounter any beast stronger than you quickly signal to the other members," Commander Jack said and they all nodded while heading to their district

As Dave and Micheal ventured deeper into the left part of the dungeon, they could feel the sinister atmosphere. The place was as cold as ice but they were well trained and had endured countless training sessions. Suddenly, a low growl was heard and a huge serpent came out. Its presence sent shivers down their spine for a second.

"Hisssss," The snake hisses loudly as it strikes its long tail at them.

    "Hey get back," Micheal said as he pushed Dave to a corner before spreading his hands open. His hands began to glow with white light. The strike which was about to hit him lost its target and hit the rock beside them. The snake hissed loudly in annoyance as it strikes with its head baring its long corrosive fangs.Dave recovered from the push and steadied himself, he looked at Micheal in awe. He seemed in control of the battlefield but in reality he was at a loss. He had the skill of telekinesis where he moves things with his mind. But moving something this big almost gave him a black out. Dave stood there clenching his sword tightly, he didn't even know where to start from and he felt his presence there was ignored and useless. Despite his best efforts, Dave found himself struggling to keep up with Micheal's prowess. While Micheal fought the creatures with telekinetic blasts, Dave's sword strikes felt clumsy and ineffective in comparison. Each swing of his blade seemed to mis

    What are these words? I have never seen such language before and it wasn't even there," Dave said. "The message is beyond your comprehension right now. You are too weak to know about it," The system said. Dave suddenly felt insulted, too weak was a name that had stuck to him and hearing it again felt annoying. "My apologies if I had indirectly hurt you host," The system apologised. "Can you sense my emotions?" Dave asked, perplexed by the system's timely apology. "We are connected by soul, I can feel your emotions and even your thoughts," The system said. "What? My thoughts, then I will have no privacy," Dave said with wide eyes. "You can disable this feature anytime you like. But it was just for you to communicate with me even in public," The system said. "Oh okay then, you can keep it on them," Dave said. "But you still haven't told me, how did you get into the necklace? What is special about it and what created you?" Dave asked questions after questions. "I am sorry, I

    Lily manages to calm herself down."I won't die that easily," Dave said as he tickled her, making her laugh out loud."Now we are even right?" Dave asked."Yes," Lily said with a smile as she wiped her tears."I almost forgot, the commander said I should inform him the moment you woke up. He said he has something to discuss with you," Lily said."The commander? I am just a useless member of the group and the commander is known as a high class individual, what could he want from me?" Dave thought inwardly."But it doesn't seem like they are around, I heard a dungeon was open yesterday?" Lily said."Yesterday? Two dungeons in a day?" Dave asked with shock in his eyes."No brother, it not two dungeons appeared in a day. You were unconscious for two days," Lily said."Two days, that's a lot," Dave said with a shocked look."Okay, thanks for looking out for me during these days. But can you leave me alone for sometime and inform me when the commander arrives," Dave said."Okay, you must be

    Oh, we got another mission. I will go now to get prepared. And whatever the strange energy was, if you have a clue about it feel free to reach out to me," Commander Jack said as he stood up. "If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask." Dave breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that Jack hadn't pressed further. "Thank you, Commander. I appreciate it." "You again? Are you this thick skin?" Rowand asked with a mocking tone as Dave came to the mercenary guild. "The way you fainted shamelessly at the battlefield didn't teach you any sense, are you that willing to die?" Rowand asked. "Rowand, get back to line,” Commander Jack said in a cold tone. “Sorry commander but he will just be a blocking stone to success. We haven't been able to complete a mission. If this goes wrong again we could get kicked out of the mercenary guild. Commander Jack had a thoughtful expression for a moment. He knew what Rowan said was true.

    "Again, Iron fist," Dave said as the monster struck him with its tentacles. It deflected his attack but the tentacles still strike forward making Dave dodge to evade the fatal strike. "What," Dave thought with wide eyes. He just saw the flash of death. This wasn't his first life and death battle, but looking around he had no one but himself to save him. He knew now he could not run away, the monster had taken him as a target, its red flames burning more brightly indicating its furiousness. "Did I make a mistake coming out?" Dave thought as he dodge another strike in the nick of time. “System, how long do I have left?" Dave asked, breathing heavily. The surrounding was in chaos. "Where is the help that is coming?" Dave thought inwardly. "You have approximately 6 minutes and 43 seconds left," The system said. "That's too low, I need to end this soon," Dave thought monetarily, forgetting the fight.

    "Wait, you are supposed to be weak. Where is the strength coming from" He asked as he felt scared and shocked. "The desire to send you to hell," Dave said. "Iron fist," He struck his hands in the air which solidified into a fist. Now commander Jack now clearly saw the fist, it was over a metre long and its speed was astonishing. "Turtle shell," Commander Jack said as he swiftly recovered from the shock with his survival instinct alert. He quickly activated a hidden amour with him in a fluid motion.

The commander separated with me saying we would search the area if we split up," Dave said. "That is not necessary, we need to take the commander to the village leader now," Fred said. Dave followed them to the village leader. *****At the village leader district**"" "Who can tell me what really happened," Chief Damien, a handsome middle aged man sitting on a throne asked , looking at the body of Commander Jack.

    "Big brother, I would like to ask you something," Lily said."What is that?" Dave asked wiping his lips with a napkin."Brother, ever since you came back from that dungeon, you have been acting.... weird," Lily said looking at him."Weird how?" Dave asked with a confused look."Before you don't talk back at people who bully you and say hurtful comments. You would rather avoid fights and endure it. But now..... You seem different," Lily said."Don't you like it now," Dave asked."No it not that. You are pretty cool now and I heard people talking about it. I was just curious what caused the change," Lily said."Don't think much about it, just know that I would always be here to protect you," Dave said as he ran his hand through her hair."Okay," Lily said with a smile."But brother, don't think you can bribe me with your words.

Dave thought almost cursing his luck for picking a useless card."Solar domination, it effect is on your opponent," The system said."What do you mean?" Dave asked getting interested."Once activated, it reduces all the status of your opponent by 30 percent," The system said."What?" Dave asked with wide eyes almost jumping in happiness."But the catch is, it can only last for 10 minutes. Then you would get exhausted from the large energy consumption," The system said."That means I would have to be careful and find the perfect timing when using it," Dave thought inwardly."Dash is good, if I can't beat the enemy I can easily escape with speed.
