"As you can see here if you apply the Pythagorean Theorem to this right triangle..." Mr. Drew blabbered on; it wasn't his fault that the lesson was boring, I just shouldn't have stayed up all night reading, but I couldn't let Aaron finish the book before me. I also couldn't help dozing off because Aaron wasn't even here today, which worries me a little. He never misses class, hm... oh crap, the class is staring at me. That means Mr. Drew asked me a question. I glanced at the board, ah, crap I hate square roots. "Riley?"
"Ah, sorry Mr. Drew, C would equal 7," the whole class giggles, the wrong answer.
"While you are right that the answer to the problem on the board is 7, Miss Linsday already answered it. I asked if you got enough sleep last night."
"Ah, no, I did not, sir." Ah, Linsday. Me and Aaron's third amigo. Tall, brunette, and also my crush since the third grade. I checked my watch, ugh 30 minutes in class still. Whatever, I'll take a nap.
----------------------------------------
"Mmm... your an interesting one. I think I'll give you a hint to help survive my new world."
"What - I'm a little groggy when I dream."
"Wow, the little one stands up to me." His booming laugh shakes out. "Well, I'll introduce myself, I am the above god, Ackeron..."
"So, like, is this a lucid dream or what?"
"No, little one, dream implies that you won't remember everything but my name."
"Ok, cool then."
The god laughs. "Well, little one, our time draws to a close, I've decided to give you three pieces of advice. First, you aren't suited to physical combat, stick to spells, bud. Second, remember blue is magic and green is physical. Third, knowledge is the better to brute strength. Now, little one I believe that what you humans call 'the world ending' is coming."
"Nah smart A-type kids just say the world is ending when they get in trouble, so Mr. Drew is probably giving me the death glare right about now."
"Well, you are interesting, you're not affected by my presence at all." This man (god?) "Ackeron" said.
"Should I be?" I asked.
"I don't quite know yet... I do however know that you will certainly make my little experiment interesting. Really, your world is actually ending in a few seconds here. Goodbye, fight hard, live, and grow strong enough to meet me again."
----------------------------------------
I came to on the floor to the right of my desk. With the entire class staring at me. Then they were staring past me, and if I had to hazard a guess, they were staring at the small screen that had appeared in front of myself, and I'm assuming themselves.

Then, of course, like any novel that this situation happens in, a message follows.
----------------------------------------
Dear inhabitants of earth, I apologize for the sudden injection of my little pet project, the game screen. Now as you guys don't have weapons that will work against my creatures, the next thing that you place your right hand against will become a unique personal weapon that you can summon and un-summon from anywhere, choose carefully.
Oh yeah, also my pets will start spawning in 5 minutes. Their density will depend on where you are. For example, the more people, the higher the chance you die. I.e., Run from schools and public transportation. Also hospitals and graveyards, but that's because of a different reason.
----------------------------------------
Well, that's fun, I wonder how that all works. Like, if my hand is in the air, does that mean I'm going to get an air weapon in a second here? As I mused over this, one of the jock heads shouted into the strangely silent room "EFF THIS I MUST BE SEEING SHIT!" With that, he slammed his hands down on the desk, and as he turned to storm out of the room, it emitted a bright light. The legs shifted into one large leg that now resembled a cement stomper, the head then popped out into a cube, now resembling a large war hammer. "Woah, what," was all the jock could get out, and then, "Cool! It said I gained a soulbond desk hammer." With all the other students still in shock, I thought about this logically,
If what you touch becomes a soulbond weapon, - and it seems to be based on your main attributes - a desk would turn into something like a ritual desk, because my main attributes seem to be intelligence and wisdom. Then I remembered the dream I just had. The "god" said that knowledge is better than brute force and that I should stick to spells, but where could I get spells in a magicless world? Then I spotted the math textbooks. "Meh, what do I have to lose?" I placed my hand on the book, and just for fun, uttered, "weaponize."
A blinding light emanated from the book, and when the light had cleared, the book had disappeared. "Shit, really nothing."
----------------------------------------
Personal message:
Ha, I guess I owe you one little one. Also maybe wait for a few when expecting things from a god running this system FOR THE WHOLE WORLD.
----------------------------------------

Well, that's a fantastic item. I guess I'm going to be a mage then, good, mages are cool. Wait, didn't the god dude say that his pets would be spawning in five minutes, like five minutes ago? I went to check the clock to confirm and saw something above teachers head.
"MR. DREW WATCH OUT" I yelled. I stared at the weird break above the teachers head and saw a little green blob just kind of appeared.
You have observed creation magic.
You have gained a class from observation, Creation Mage.
You have gained a class from starting weapon, Enchanter.
Your classes have combined.
Your classes have perfect synergy.
You have gained class ritual mage.
You have gained three bonuses for discovering three classes.
Here's the last hint. Look to your left, you can't help your teacher.
Wait, what? I looked to the left right as there was a plop and a small green blob dropped down where I was sitting a few minutes ago.
I thought, Thanks Mr. God dude... What was his name again? I can remember everything else he said, though
Then I heard a terrible scream from teachers direction.
