《Nameless System V 1.00.008》Chapter 1.1
Advertisement
Slowly and reluctantly, I uncovered my face. I blinked, closed my eyes, and blinked again. Streaks of light penetrated my eyes and blinded me. I sat up, dragged my feet off the bed, and rubbed my knuckles into my eyes. I stretched my arms above my head and yawned.
.....What happened?
Concrete wall with windows at the size of a biscuit tin lid, eight beds all filled and A woman in dignified white uniform walked toward me. "Sir, please don't move from your bed. I'll go get the doctor." Said the woman.
Doctor? Riiight, I passed out. After a few moments, she came in with a doctor that had a face like some guy I'd ask for directions in the street, non-threatening I supposed.
While reading his document the doctor said "Dew Everest, right? Do you feel nauseated or dizzy?"
"Eh... No."
"Hm..." In an instant, his expression turned into a brick. He analyzed the document for a few seconds, turned on his flashlight and started to examine my body. "Pupil reaction...normal, Heartbeat rate... check, body temperature..., no excessive sweating. Alright, you're free to go."
"This is the whole examination?!"
"Yes, though just in case come again in the day after tomorrow for the follow-up."
T..that was easy, while I gathered my things I remembered about that weird app. I opened my phone and yup... It wasn't a dream, I touched the icon for a few seconds to check its app information.
Nameless.
Size: 0 Byte.
Developer: Unknown.
Version: 1.00.008.
No uninstall or delete button, no data log, unregistered on my phone, Google result 0. Damn, this shit is weird.
I moved my thumb and opened the app once again. "Let's see, I guess reading the guide will not harm me."

"WTF? Is this some kind of game? Damn... Buff, debuff, ailment, bind, oh... Protected: Hm...For the next 168 hours user data can't be accessed (165 hours, 3 minutes left)"
Once I read this, I couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right. It sent a shiver down my spine and I felt my blood chill in my veins. Is that mean once the duration is over my personal data can be accessed?!
The thought that my data could be accessed was enough to make me tremble. What does it mean by that? is this a hacker? Why me? The next thing that I realized, I already stared at the cigarette between my fingers. I inhaled deeply, letting the smoke seeped into my cells, my system responding to the smoke, and I felt my lungs being wrapped by a warm blanket, as I removed it from my lips, I blew the smoke in the air carefully as if it was the aftermath of a kiss that aches to steal my life.
The nicotine made me function. I remembered I used to be just fine without it, but now whenever I panicked I always took this thing. As I inhaled a few more poisons into my body, I regained my composure back.
"...Let's see Skill."

What is Skill?
Skill is a single shaping of the energies that suffuse the multiverse into a specific, limited expression. In using a skill, user carefully plucks at the invisible strands of raw energies suffusing the world, pins them in place in a particular pattern, sets them vibrating in a specific way, and then releases them to unleash the desired effect—in most cases, all in the span of seconds.
Limitation
Each skill is limited by its correspondence status. Ex: Arcane Bolt and Ignite are basic level INT skills. User that has 7 INT can use Arcane Bolt for seven times or use Arcane Bolt four times and Ignite three times.
How to use Skill?
Step 1: Open the Skill Menu.
Step 2: Choose the Skill you want to use.
Step 3: Drag the skill to the empty skill slot.
Step 4: Follow the skill procedure and recite its name.
Disclaimer: Once dragged, skill can't be changed for the next 24 hours.
The guide didn't explain much, but I assumed Skill was a superpower. Now that I thought about it, all of this sounded like a prank, though I opened the Skill screen to check its validity.
Skill List:
Brew (Concoction): Concoction is an alchemical drink of ingredient dissolved in an alcoholic solution. Notorious for their effect, only the creator can use his concoction.
Cooldown: 60 minutes. Process: varies.
Craft (Poison): Mixes substances (User choice) that interfere with the natural functions of a living creature’s body, causing injury or death.
Cooldown: 10 minutes. Process: varies. - - - - - - - - - - -
The eleven empty slots must be the skill slot right? I dragged both of my skill onto the empty slot; next was the experiment. It seems impossible to do Brew(Concoction) right now so Craft (Poison)? but how do I get the substances? I was daydreaming while watching my cigarette dangling dangerously in my fingers, It was almost short enough to burn my fingers.
......
I inhaled the smoke and blew it away, next I pointed the rest of my cigarette toward the smoke. "Craft (Poison)" I said.
"....Holy Shit."
It took a second or two for the new information to sink it, even though it was right before my eyes, larger than life. The smoke circled around at the cigarette like it was trapped with an invisible glasses. I couldn't see what was going on, but I could feel that the cigarette was absorbing the smoke back. After some time the smoke was gone leaving a waxy cigarette behind. It was a bizarre moment, I never saw this kind of thing before yet I knew its name and how to use it.
*BEEP BEEP*
A beeping sounds resounded from my phone, I looked at its screen, my mind went blank and my eyes wide as I stared into that bright screen in horror. Words left me and my heart fell silent. As if stuck underwater, everything was slow and warbled as I pointed a shaky finger into the screen.

Redshirt: The Journey
Freedom and Order. Peace and War. Love and Hate. Hundreds of young children awaken in a damaged world, on the brink of societal collapse, witnessing the birth of an omnipotent system. Their roles are pre-determined, yet the very fabric of reality lie in their hands. The order of the world shapes them, just how they are free to shape the world in their disparate visions. Each choice, each action, each word, has consequences that reach far beyond their perception. Freedom or Order; ashes in the wind, or the gilded chains. Updates at least every Monday, Thursday, and every other Sarturday, (from 26/11/2021). This is primarily a story exploring what it means to be human, using a lens of a hopefully real-feeling fantasy world. This story is not a power fantasy or a traditional Litrpg , while it has elements of these genres, it will focus on how these tropes would influence real people and possibly Redshirt will break some of these tropes along the way. There will be a variety of different characters and perspectives, some you hate, some you love, and some that will frustrate. Just as all people do. I don't believe there will be anything overly traumatic or explicit, but it's better to be safe than sorry. There will be some heavy topics explored, the characters views do not reflect the authors; however, if there is an issue in how I present/understand these issues please do tell me, and I will try my best to rectify it.
