《Sadistic Player In A Fantasy Game World》New Vautis

"So you're just going to leave us here to die? How the hell are we supposed to survive with all those monsters roaming around," protested one of the survivors.
"Like I said, the government is trying the-"
[Welcome people of New Vautis. The Council greets you.] interrupted an autonomous voice before the government official could finish what she wanted to say.
"Where is it coming from?" murmured a few people, looking around to see who was talking.
[Congratulations on surviving the transmigration. Everyone who has made it this far shall be rewarded shortly.]
"Cut the PA systems" whispered the government official to one of her aides.
[As an additional reward for surviving, the council has decided to give you some information on this new world.]
"It's not working, I don't think that the voice is coming from the PA systems," replied the aide.
[As you've all noticed, New Vautis looks similar to your former planet. This is because it is a fusion of three worlds, the planet called Earth, the planet called Merrum, and the planet known as Shiva.]
"What's going on?"
"A fusion?" murmured a few of the survivors, as the autonomous voice continued its announcement.
[As such, lands that were once yours no longer have ownership. In this new world, all races will start from scratch. Only the powerful will have the right to own, and as is the law of nature, the weak shall perish to the strong.]
"Perish to the strong? Wait does this mean that we'll be wiped out by those creatures"
The survivors began to feel restless, a feeling of impending doom suffocating them as they listened to the voice.
[But fret not, we are not unfair. We are aware that there are races less gifted than others and have decided to introduce a system to watch over the planet's development. The system shall be called Laplace, and it will help all people of New Vautis to have a chance at surviving till the end.]

"System?"
"Laplace?"
"Is this some publicity stunt being pulled by the government?"
"I don't think so, look, the government officials look as confused as we are,"
[We will be watching. For now, this is goodbye.] said the voice before the room was filled with silence.
[Welcome Player, to New Vautis.]
[A skill tree has been created to contain any skills you may acquire.]
[As your level increases, so will the number of skills you can own.]
This time the voice sounded different, more human. And what made it even more discernable from the previous voice was the fact that "It's in my head?"
That was what everyone had just realized. The voice wasn't something they were hearing but something that was playing in their minds instead.
[Player Gray, as a reward for surviving the transmigration, the exclusive skill 'He who pleasures death' shall be added to your skill tree.] said the voice in Gray's head.
"He who pleasures death?" thought Gray as all the survivors began to panic.
"I'm going crazy," shouted one of the survivors, unable to cope with the new voice suddenly intruding into his mind right after facing such a traumatizing event.
[He who pleasures death, an exclusive skill that allows the player to steal the skills of those who he has seen die. The skill will only activate if you saw the cause of death, deaths that were already in motion before being seen will not count.]
[Only skills of an equivalent level to 'He who pleasures death' can be stolen. Currently, only three skills can be stolen and used with the current level of this skill. Cooldown, 1 week] replied the voice.
"It's just like a game," thought Gray, as a high-pitched scream rang in his ears.

"What was that?" murmured the people around Gray.
"If the government won't help me, then I'll just help myself," shouted a man as he flung fireballs across the room.
"So it's already started? What happens when you give a weapon to a child? The same thing that happens when you give it to an adult, they'll use it," laughed Gray inwardly as the town hall became a battleground.
Everyone started unleashing their powers, at first it was used in self-defense, but it quickly escalated to an all-out frenzy.
Some people tried raiding the government vehicles lined up outside, trying to take as many supplies as they could, but they were met with fierce opposition from the government officials who had gotten powers as well.
The most notable of them was the woman dressed in black.
With every flick of her finger, lightning shot out. Literally frying whoever it touched.
Soon the town hall reeked of blood and sweat. What started off as just a puddle of blood now flooded the entire hall, making it hard to walk.
Gray hadn't moved from his corner ever since the fighting started. Instead, he studied those around him, looking at which powers would be the most beneficial to steal.
"How about her," thought Gray as he laid his eyes on a woman who was manipulating the blood on the floor, shaping the blood into solid weapons.
She was currently in a battle against the man who was shooting fireballs out of his hands.
At the man's feet were dozens of charred bodies, whose peeled skin floated on the pool of blood as the two fought, the smell of their burned corpses attacking Gray's nostrils as he approached them.
"I don't think she'll last too long," thought Gray as he snuck up on the two.
"She doesn't seem to be able to manipulate the blood directly, instead she can only make weapons from it. And whats more, is the delay time between each weapon she makes, if she was a bit more tactical with her ability she might've had a chance,"
"But as it is now,"
Just as Gray arrived few meters away from the fight, the woman was lit aflame, her screams piercing the air, causing even Gray to cover his ears in pain.
As the fire burned her alive, her skin was peeled off, her eyeballs melting due to the intense heat and a yellow substance oozing from her orifices.
[Would you like to steal the skill 'Blood Weapons'?] asked the voice.
"Yes," replied Gray with a satisfied smile on his face.
[The exclusive skill 'Blood Weapons' has been added to your skill tree.]
[Blood weapon, use blood to create weapons of your liking. However weapons are limited to one's that you are familiar with, and for every weapon, there is a required price to pay in blood. The full blood price does not have to come from the user's own blood, however, a small portion of user's blood will be used with every weapon created. Cooldown 60 seconds,]
"I guess it's my turn to have fun," smiled Gray as he created a spear out of blood and threw it at the flame-throwing man before he had time to react.

8 169A Castle in a Teacup
One might say that to anger forces beyond the ken of fragile breakable mortals is a bad idea, others might say that meddling in dark forces with little chance of gain is also a bad idea, they would both be right by on all counts but they forget to mention also how incredibly stupid combining both of those things are. Stupid people don’t last so long on the mystic side of things, normal folks who wander over to the other side have a tendency to do one of two things, either A. figure out that the best thing to do is keep their head down and not draw attention from any entity that refers to humanity as “you mortals” , or B. something horrifying happens to them. As you may have guessed I fell into the second category, mostly because I thought there was a third option. See I though there must be an option C, an option where I got to end up not as some shitty back ally wizard cowering at the chance of discovery, praying that one of my wards or spells wouldn’t be noticed by something that goes bump in the night. No I would be the one who rose above all that. I would never have to be afraid. Well I made a good attempt at it that’s for damn sure, but unfortunately for me it turns out there is not an option C. At least not for me…
