As I was stocking the shelf with more water, I thought about what I would do when I got home. I'm done with this job, it makes the day seem like it keeps dragging on. But then, as reached for another water bottle to finish filling the shelf. A bright light flashed in my face, my eyes were still seeing a bright light. The constant Christmas music then stopped and now all I could hear were people in hushed tones talking about some heroes, like in a video game. After a minute, I got my sight and hearing back to normal, and where the fuck am I?
Blinking rapidly to clear the residual spots in my vision, I surveyed my surroundings with a growing sense of disorientation. The familiar shelves of water bottles had vanished, replaced by a bustling marketplace filled with stalls adorned with vibrant fabrics and exotic wares. People in attire that seemed out of place in my everyday life strolled past, and a cacophony of unfamiliar languages filled the air. The mundane humdrum of my routine job had been abruptly replaced by a surreal scene. Eavesdropping on snippets of conversation, I caught phrases like "chosen ones," "portal" and "world-saving quest," As I attempted to make sense of this bewildering situation, it dawned on me that somehow, I had been transported to a fantastical realm straight out of the video games I used to play. The prospect of being entwined in an epic adventure loomed ahead, and I couldn't help but wonder how my mundane day had transformed into something extraordinary.

Oh, great heroes, you have been summoned to this world to stop the monster storm. This storm causes monsters to fall from the sky and try to destroy our world as we know it. But you hero, are here to stop them by getting stronger. “How do we get stronger?” A man with a New York accent asked. The king answered “By beating dungeons, you will gain magic power, and the more magic power you have the higher your score on the leaderboard will be. Everyone can see the leaderboard so people are more likely to help those with a higher score because they will save more lives.
This info dump from the king was something but it gave me info I can work with. First, we have stats. Do I have to just say info to see my level or what?
