The familiar dizzy feeling hit Aleen after leaving the portal.
He shook his head and read the information in his head before frowning and looking to the surroundings.
‘Another level two? Could it be…?’
Aleen didn’t need search for long to find the figure he was searching for.
In a corner of the room, a petite silver-haired girl was holding her head in pain while a silver cat touched her thigh with its paw.

“You… You are a level two!? And how did you enter the portal with me!?”
Aya, still holding her head, looked up to Aleen and tilted her head.
“Huh?”
She then grabbed the cat in her arms and carried it to her chest.
Looking around, she noticed the strangeness of the place. Before Aleen could say something, she used her emotionless voice to speak.
“… Where is it?”
Aleen expression turned to surprise. “You don’t know?”
Aya shook her head.
Aleen put a contemplating expression and spoke to himself. “… Are you not the other level two then? No, the others are still sleeping, so you must be the one. Then, have you never been here before? Did you acquire your skill on earth?”
Aya only tilted her head in confusion.
Seeing it, Aleen sighed slightly waved his hand. “Wait a moment, I will explain everything after I wake up the others.”
Besides Aleen and Aya, another seven people were lying asleep on the ground. Two of them were women and the other five were men.
Two of the men attracted Aleen’s attention; they were around two meters tall, and both of them were dressed in black. Aleen thought that they seemed like bodyguards. The other three men, however, were pretty average.
Among the women, one seemed like a white-collar worker, and the other like a college student. Aleen did not dwell on their appearances and went to wake them up.
It was Aleen’s first time doing it, so he wasn’t sure about how to do it. Finally, he decided to use the method John used on him when he first entered the game.
Taking a deep breath, he infused a bit of mana in his shout.
“Stand up, the game already began!”
Immediately, all the seven people lying on the ground opened their eyes in surprise; but before they could react properly, the two women and a man wearing glasses began to vomit.

Aleen frowned when he saw it, but he remembered that he was also like this in his first game. Thinking about it, that memory seemed pretty far away now.
Unfortunately, now was not a good time to remember the past.
Giving a quick look at the eight people around him (Including Aya), Aleen sighed in his mind and thought about what he would do now.
He found the answer faster than he thought.
“Welcome, you all. You were unlucky enough to be chosen to participate in dimensional paradise. There isn't time to lose, so I’ll be quick.”
Pausing for a brief moment, he stared to the eight people to gauge their reactions and then continued. “This place is hell, and you were brought here to die. Now, there is a very small probability of surviving, but most of you will probably not do it.”
Aleen continued without giving them time to interrupt, explaining briefly about Dimensional Paradise and the games. The eight people made astonished expressions hearing his story, but Aleen ignored it.
“I will go to complete the mission, and you can decide if you want to stay here or come with me. I will say it from now, though; I won’t guarantee your safety if you follow me. Of course, I will help you if I see you in danger, but if the situation is too dangerous or you don’t follow my orders, I will leave you behind.”
Without waiting for them to answer, Aleen walked towards the door of the room.
But before exiting the room, he hesitated slightly and then turned to the silver-haired girl. “Aya, take a weapon and come with me.”
The silver-haired girl hesitated slightly, but at the end grabbed a short spear and followed after Aleen with Lily on her arms.
Aleen frowned briefly, but in the end, he didn’t say anything.
The remaining seven people stayed on the room with pale and astonished expressions. At that moment, however, one of the two bodyguard-like men whispered something to the college girl. The girl then nodded and the three of them followed after Aleen.
Seeing it, the other four people hesitated slightly and finally decided to go too.
Aleen noticed it, but he remained expressionless. Two games taught Aleen that it’s impossible to save everybody; the best he could do is give them a helping hand and increase their possibilities to survive, but if they show the sightless intention of causing trouble, Aleen wouldn't hesitate to leave them behind.
Outside the room was a long corridor. The place seemed recently abandoned, and Aleen noticed traces of blood and scratches on the walls.
Putting a serious expression, he took the sword, Dark Night, out of the ring and held it firmly in his hand. He had worn the armor before being summoned to the game.
Fortunately, there wasn’t anything dangerous in the corridor, but when he reached to a window, a gasp of astonishment escaped his lips.
Outside, it was filled with people.
No, they weren’t people.
Their eyes were white, and their bodies were filled with blood; Aleen could see countless injuries in their bodies.
A word appeared immediately on his mind.
“… Zombies.”

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.
