First mission

[Transporting Player to penalty zone]

[Transportation complete]

Dexter found himself in a fully equipped gym, everything was set and ready for him.

“Cool” Dexter walked around the gym examining everything, all the equipment was the same as what was in the modern world. He then removed his shirt waiting for the system to give him the task.

[Penalty tasks]

[Push-ups - 0/100]

[Squats - 0/100]

[Crunches - 0/100]

[jogging - 0/100km]

[Pull ups- 0/100]

[Players must complete the training before 24 hours in the Core time. Penalties - Player will remain in the core for ten years]

“All this is too much for a newbie, I have never done such training in the gym before.” Dexter complained, but there was no response, only a blue screen staring at him. If there was a way to escape all these impossible looking training Dexter would have done that. Even though the penalty was too risky, a penalty of a penalty task, staying ten years in that dark and lonely space would result in a brain tumor. He had to begin training as quickly as possible.

Dexter began the tasks as soon as possible, he was breathing heavily with each push up, he felt like his lungs would explode. Finally he collapsed on the ground panting.

“Am I done yet?”

[Penalty tasks]

Push ups - 22/100

Squats - 11/100

Pull ups - 0/100

Crunches - 33/100

jogging - 0/100km

[Time left - 13:54:23]

“What!!”

“I've spent eleven hours and I'm not even halfway done with the task! Guard!!!!”

‘Ava must be worried sick about me, I need to be done as soon as possible, I can do this’

Dexter got up, took a deep breath then continued with the push ups.

“No pain, no gain! No pain, no gain! No pain, no gain!” He said out loud as he continued with the training.

In no time he was eating it up, his body was quickly adapting to the changes and he felt even comfortable and normal with the training. Back at the academy he was the worst when it came to training in the gym, his highest was 10 push ups and he would close for the entire day.

Yes, he was that weak.

After the push ups he got on the Treadmill and began jogging. He jogged for an hour and moved on to the next exercise.

Ten hours later.

[Penalty tasks]

Push ups - 100/100

Squats - 100/100

Pull ups - 100/100

Crunches - 100/100

jogging - 100/100km

[Time left - 03:23:01]

He was done with all the tasks.

“I'm done, can I go home now?”

He was sweating and his breathing was still rapid.

[Congratulations, player cleared the Penalty task]

[Player had successful passes the trial course]

[System bonus had been granted]

“Hmph, trial course?”

[Player would now begin mission]

“A mission? I thought I was going to get back home? What's all these”

[Player will be transported to level 1 mission]

[Player must choose difficult level]

[Easy. Normal. Hard]

‘I also have to choose my difficult level. Hmm. Choosing easy would make me be done with the mission as soon as possible and get back home’

Dexter thought about stretching his finger to press the Easy button, but then he hesitated.

‘Come to think of it, this system seems to reward me with every task I complete. That only means the Hard level would come with more rewards. Time here moves faster than earth, so why the hurry, it'll be double reward if I complete the mission gaining rewards and get back home even stronger’

He then proceeded and pressed the hard button.

[Player must be informed that he can no longer change the difficulty level throughout the entire mission course]

“I accept”

[Difficult level selected successfully]

[You may begin level 1 mission]

Suddenly a purple portal appeared.

[Gate to Level one opened]

Dexter took a deep breath then casually walked into the portal and it disappeared behind him.

“A desert?” He looked at the environment and it was a very large and hot desert.

[You have successfully entered level 1 mission, Conditions resulting in failure include: unable to complete the mission within the time duration and being killed by the monster.]

[Penalty for level failure: Death]

[Theme of level: Solo survival. You must survive within the time duration against the grade C monster, or kill it.]

[Time left: 00:10:00]

“What, a death penalty? Ten minutes survival time frame against a grade C monster?” Sweat traveled down his forehead.

“Grrr!” A loud rumbling roar echoed throughout the desert as a large monstrous figure was materializing from the sand.

Dexter watched in horror as he saw the 20 foot monster in front of him.

“A giant sand golem!?” His heart raced.

Golems are Monsters with a physically enhanced physiology. A golem is capable of easily overpowering a regular human, and is strong enough to rip or crush a human head from its body. And they are unaffected by weapons.

“Run!” Dexter dashed out of the reach of the golem, but the golem was catching up pretty fast. Not because it has a good speed, but due to the fact that it was super large and its single step covered a wide distance.

The golem slammed his palm on the desert aiming to crush Dexter, but he slid away. But then noticed there was a sand wave approaching his way, caused by the impact of the golem's might.

“Ahh!” Dexter was running and hopping at the same time, he panted and was sweating praying the time runs out quickly.

“Am I done yet!”

[Time left: 00:08:21]

“Eight more minutes?! How am I going to survive that long, without even a weapon? Oh God I now regretted choosing the hard option, I thought it would be easier. Ahhh!”

Dexter was gassing out, his lungs were straining and his legs couldn't keep up, the sand was slowing his pace giving an edge to the golem.

“Grrah!” The golem finally grabbed hold of Dexter, lifting him up as he crushed him slowly.

“Rraahhh!!” Dexter screamed in pain, he could hear the loud bone cracks from his own body, he was bleeding from his mouth and nostrils, his eyes were becoming blurry, he was going to pass out.

[Time left: 00:05:43]

‘I have five minutes left, I can't lose just yet. I've always wanted an opportunity to grow stronger and this system has granted me that. I can't fail it. I need to survive for my sister, I can't let her suffer in this cruel world alone’

“I AM NOT GIVING UP!!”

“ARGH!!”
