''HA, hahah ha ha ha'' My sanity is almost completely gone. Feeling myself being severely hungry and parched, I have probably been laying on the ground for 6-7 hours not moving. Actually this is the first time I have been thinking of bodily needs. For crying out loud this world just simply is not fair. To say I had seen some shit in my life would be an understatement, first i would be beaten at school, then i would be beaten at home, a couple of years of that and add a little bit of severe depression, manic thoughts and bottled up emotions with a hint of rage one could easily say I had lived a second-rate life. Almost like God had went to the supermarket and bought a budget life and given it to a random baby.

And now? Well now my roommate missed half his body, i missed my legs, had no idea where i was and all i had to my name was some, frankly speaking, useless items i had spawned on a whim.

''HahahahhahaHAHAHAHA'' laughing once more i decided God, well God was a cruel being. So feeling my sanity slipping more i decided to change.

First, I will resent myself. I will take what it means to be human and twist it to my liking. Helplessly lying down in this hole, seeing Elijah dead, realising many, many of my friends will also be dead. I reject it, i reject my previous life, i reject this system, i reject my inability to do anything.

Secondly is Power, everything comes down to power. With power one can do anything. With power you can change what you don't like, make the things you don't like and force it into something that you yourself find acceptable. So how can i acquire power? Well it's simple, is it not? I already had skills and with that in mind only a fool would not realise that not growing your own skills into more powerful versions of themselves and acquiring new ones would be the right course of action. Well i guess i shouldn't forget the most important thing with power; with enough power I shall tear this damn system and those responsible into submission and force it to my liking. The simple fact i spawned the way i did shows me a simple truth; God, well god is not all powerful, not even all good. It also showed me the one (or ones as I can not confrim otherwise) controlling the system did not in fact have full control over it, making me believe I should be able to subdue the system to my own will. This being a goal far, far into the future.

And lastly, I will cast aside my own life, my own being and be reborn. I will rise from this wretched dungeon, even if I have to crawl I will escape, and enact vengeance upon those i seem fit. I will be an unrelenting force. A judge, a jury and an executioner of those deserving, but also to be a beacon for the human race moving forward. Gathering the ones i can find and establish our race; our race will be on the top.

Feeling a cool calm wash over my mind i refocused, having my long and short term goals set for myself i would engrave them into my very being. Making myself a mental note of the 3, well 3 mantras I guess, and checking them over I confirm my own resolve and start thinking of a way out of this hell ho-

Congratulations you have found your resolve, found your calling, found your path forward. The system rewards those of you who seeks power, wealth, peace, war and everything between Heaven and Hell; as long as you will something enough the system will provide.

If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

Being the [5th] of your race to Make your own unique path to power you have been awarded with 50 power points.

Congratulations the power node [Power of the Phoenix] have been unlocked

Well, now this is an interesting development. Power points? Power nodes? And this node called power of the phoenix seems to be some part of the system that i were unaware of. At least this gives me information. Firstly i have skills, skills well those are simply put magick. No way around it, being able to call forth a ball of illuminating light is magick. Perhaps there are different types of skills like maybe throwing, fitness, sprint or stuff like that? Hmm, impossible to know or confirm at this time I guess, will have to wait.

Secondly is that the systems seems to be some form entity or power that operates on its own, rewarding people for their struggles, simply put it is fair. Does that mean that it was random, all this suffering has been for naught? All these lives that have undoubtedly been ended by the system was not on the whim of some god? No, no I can not accept that; something like this does not simply come into being, there has to be some form of oversight, some form of administrator or entity that made this. At least something that made the system as accessible as it is now with language filters and the error messages earlier dictates that it does have bugs in it; meaning someone made this or took control of it and did not do a good job at it.

Lastly it would that, call it what you want, meaning, a strong image or simply the will of mind can bend the world and give you power. A proof of this was the fact i got those paths, but also the name of this dungeon. I mean Nivlheim is literally taken out from Norse mythology, meaning that this dungeon was created the moment i spawned and took a name i would recognize, even taking the liberty of taking a name from my home country.

Congratulations Wisdom + 1

Well, this is interesting. Would seem stats also exist huh? Well to be expected I guess with all the crazy shit happening as of late. Also this confirms my hypotheses, seeing as the system actually took into account my critical thinking of the situation and awarded me with +1 to wisdom seeing as i thought something, for a lack of better word, wise.

This easily confirms other attributes as well, will need to check those out some way as well with the power node stuff.

''HAHAHAH'' This truly is crazy. Well guess i can't complain any longer it is time to move forwar- well crawl forward i guess.. Looking at my 3 mantras one last time i got to work.

1. Resentment - resent yourself, reject everything you don't like and tear it down.

2. Power- Become the embodiment of power and lay waste to those that dare oppose me.

3. Rebirth - Be reborn from my past life and grow into someone, something new that can accomplish every goal and obstacle in my way and bring forth true Power.
