It was a normal peaceful day for Li Hao as he arrives in class for school. Li Hao enjoys this peacefulness as he studies hard despite being exceptionally smart. He heard many claiming he was born smart, which is true, but he hates it that they denied his efforts which resulted in him having almost no friends in school. However, peace was broken shortly after entering his class.
"Hey, Li Hao!!! Come on lend me your Math homework for a little bit. You always have a perfect score since the day I met you!!! Damn it.....if only I was 1/10 of you I would have already be second in the whole country..... " Wei Jian laughed, whom knew him since childhood. He is the very few people whom he can call as a friend. Although Li Hao is exceptionally smart, Wei Jian never felt that he was simply born smart as he scolded Li Hao before, "HUH?ARE YOU STUPID? SO WHAT IF YOU ARE SMART? ARE YOU BORN TO KNOW HOW TO DO MATH OR TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND WORLD HISTORY?"
"It is obviously your effort to learn how to do Math and going home straight after school just because the next day have test." Wei Jian has never denied the effort he took to do things hence, after that incident, they became really close friends.
Knowing that he has no way out, Li Hao toss over his homework to Wei Jian, who sits right beside him, after sitting down in class. Shortly after, class began while Wei Jian squeezed out every bit of his energy to copy finish Li Hao's work.
Four hours later, right before Math class started, Li Hao heard a voice right in his mind. "As Earth is about to evolve into a higher order world, all humans will be sent over to other planets for a year to receive proper education on what to expect after Earth evolve."
Thinking that he might have been slightly restless after listening carefully in class for 4hours, he looked around if there was someone joking him but to his shock, he noticed that everyone has panic and doubt written in their eye. Li Hao then tilted his body to look at Wei Jian and he noticed the exact same expression in his eye. Hence after confirming that, he asked, "You heard that?"
"Yeah no shit man. You too? Damn....." Wei Jian let out a sigh while shaking his head.
"What's wrong?" Li Hao asked curiously as he was concerned that his friend might felt worried about what is going to happen next.
"Nothing much.......I just realised that...... i wasted my time copying your homework for nothing" Wei Jian replied depressingly.
"You piece of shit......aren't you worried about what is going to happen?"
"I am!!! Just that it's no point worrying. We will probably be sent to another world and return and then humans will band together to fight monsters and animals that mutated. Fighting demons over a decade before finally finding the Demon Lord and kill him and world peace is back once again. " Wei Jian narrated as if he was reading out a synopsis of those well known novels.
God, "For those who can't comprehend who i am or think this is a joke, I am God. All of you will be sent over to experience and learn everything you can in a year which is my last mercy for you humans that almost destroyed Earth, my masterpiece, for your foolish gains. It is by no means a joke. Trust me. If you waste this last opportunity i have given you all, when you all are back, a Lvl 1 mutant beast can kill you easily, Lvl 10 mutant beast can destroy your city and Lvl 20 mutant beast can wipe clean your country. HOWEVER, as I am still merciful, i will grant what you humans call system that can be found in a RPG game and grant all of you a random skill at start. Now take your one year experience carefully as it is the foundation to your life. Everyone will start back from Lvl 0 after returning. Oh.....if you died in the other world, don't worry as you will be sent to the void while waiting for others to return. Only after all the others has return will you return to Earth." With a flashing light, everything turned dark in Li Hao's eyes.

Light returns to Li Hao's eyes after a few seconds and he noticed that he is standing in a white room with nothing but a box ,with a hole, on a table. Feeling that he has an idea what that box is, he approached the box slowly as he felt nervous with every step he took. Right before the box, he noticed a notification box right in front of the box saying [Box of random skill. Usage: Put hand in to receive a random skill].
True enough he was correct. He reached his hand into the box and felt something warm.
[User has gain new skill. As skill Status has yet to been use, user has to use skill Status to check out the skill.]
Hearing that, he called out status in his mind as he wanted to test whether the system can be used non-verbally as it will prove to be an issue if he is not able to speak while in combat.

Oh it seems like I’m more towards intelligence and wisdom side…..if I am not wrong, in rpg games, a character that has wisdom and intelligence would belong to magic side while stamina and strength type is for melee types…… seems like it makes sense as I can clearly tell even myself that I am not suited for fights……that skill summon….. my bet would be that I will summon a familiar to fight for me …. I guess I’m going to a summoner? I wonder can I talk to the system ….. it will be able to provide a lot of information if I can do just that.
“Hey system you there?”
After a few seconds….
“ Damn it of course they won’t provide such convi….”
Before he was done speaking,
[System can respond to only questions that user has sufficient qualifications.]
Figuring out such a big loophole that shitty God has given, of course he was happy and spent the next 1h knowing what he needs to know.
[Is user prepared to enter Planet Jaive?] The system sounded after Li Hao was done preparing.
“Change difficulty setting to Hard” knowing that set it to Easy. However, in that 1h of questioning, Li Hao has learnt that it is possible to increase difficulty to Hardcore but he is uncertain that he can complete it while staying alive as God has mentioned of death in those planets thus, he chose to be safe. As for why he has chosen Hard instead of Easy? The system has told him that different difficulty will provide the user a different reward. Thus, after knowing this, would he choose Easy mode? Of course no.
At planet Jaive, Li Hao learnt all the knowledge needed, survival skills and combat techniques over the year after slogging everyday even in the toughest time. When he returned to Earth, he was shocked beyond words. He was standing right in the middle of debris where he can see resemblance of his school. Where is everyone? Li Hao thought.
Seemingly as if responding to his question, [Congratulations!!! User is the first human to return back to Earth. User is rewarded Lvl 3 dungeon. *1st: Lvl 3, 2nd: Lvl 2, 3rd: Lvl 1 4th-10th : Lvl 0 ]
Li Hao was dumbfounded. He asked the system, “How come I am first? Everyone left at the same time no?”
[As user has completed Hard mode, the reward given is that you will be sent back 2 day before others while those that chose Medium will be back 1 day before the others]
Li Hao felt very tempted to ask how many has chosen hard and medium but he felt the system would not reply him after knowing it for a year over. Thinking that maybe more than 90% of the world still hasn’t figure out that they can communicate with the system, he felt complicated as he was happy to gain an advantage over others yet at the same time, he worried that humanity might not stand against external threats.
Li Hao gaze right in front of him as a divine light shone over a small distance from him. A building appeared. He strangely felt that familiar to it yet not recognising it. Reaching the building, he learnt why he felt familiar to it.
[Welcome to (unnamed) dungeon. As the owner, you have the right to set it’s name.]
Li Hao sighed as he walked into the dungeon.
