《This World of Systems》Sweet Sweet Treats

-In another Realm-
A man stood in front of an army in the millions.
"Surrender Fools" The man's voice boomed outward causing small fissures to erupt in the air from just the force of his voice alone. The mans well maintained robes swaying back and forth calmly.
The stoic mans words reached the army, small fissures constantly tearing and gnawing into the screaming fabric of space as the force ripped limb from limb those in the army that were weaker. Splashes of glowing green blood soon covered the remaining army, and yet they stood still staring the man down as if nothing had happened.
"Oh hush you old man, Only knowing how to yell and scream" A boy looking no older then 10 sauntered to the front of the army the ends of which could not be seen.
"Eternal" The man growled. "You know the rules, How dare you invade here!"
"Francis" The boy chuckled in reply "Do you not sense it! A new age is upon us! and with it the rules of the System will change. So will the Rulers! I will not let my chance pass me by. In this oh so rare moment I will do all I can to succeed."
Faster then Francis could see the boy disappeared before reappearing in front of him swinging a dagger that oozed black fluids. "Now die for me!"
Francis' eyes widened as he activated his eyes, slowing time down. Quickly sliding his foot backward in a attempt to pivot while activating his hand movements 'Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven'
With a release of his Chakra Francis quickly began to spin, forming a dome of blue energy. Eternal's momentum was interrupted as he was thrown backward. Their impact causing another shock-wave of force that flattened the earth and nearby mountains. Reaping another round of the soldiers

As Eternal tumbled backward he released a blood curdling scream as his arms were torn apart from the rebound. Falling into his army he quickly grabbed a solider and plunged two sharp fangs into the neck of his victim. Eyes glowing bright red he turned to view Francis once more.
"You will die and I will rule your realm old man. I will keep you alive to drink from your blood every day for all eternity." Eternal roared as he began to grow larger, muscles bulging and two giant wings growing from his back. "NOW DIE FOR ME!" He screamed as he turned into a cloud of bats charging straight at Francis.
-The village of no name-
With a cough George awoke. Laying on a bed of soft hay he covered his eyes. His head throbbing and pounding away. 'I managed to win. Although it was through sheer luck, a victory is still a victory. It just means I need to train as hard as I can. system open present.'
*Opening birthday present*
*Congratulations once again for winning this award! The User has the choice of three options.
Option one: Upgrade all stats by 10
Option two: Upgrade all known abilities by 3
Option three: Gain one new ability then immediately upgrade to lvl max and upgrade if viable
*
As George looked at his options he pondered over them. Although stats and upgrades are good he really needs more attacking skills. He was just running around getting beaten up in his first fight. A new good attacking option seemed to be the best choice in the matter. So that is what he chose. 'Option three'
*Very well, Option three selected. Random dark side ability chosen due to more DSP being present*
"WHAT" George yelled in anguish. "Please be an attack, please be an attack."

'Hmm? what happened' George was thinking as he was suddenly racked with more pain. His body and mind tearing apart. Before suddenly all was well, in fact George felt better then he every had. 'Status!' He thought eagerly.

"Wow" George whispered shocked at the gifts he had received. He quickly got out of bed, got down on his knees, then bowed his head in prayer to the System. As he was doing this the door to the room opened and he heard a shout.
"Master Ace! Master Ace! Young George has woken up!" The servant yelled out as she saw George on his knees.

8 16163Sanguine Paradise
Micheal is a young guy in his late teens who just graduated from high school and now he honestly does not know what to do with himself. Sitting in his chair just relaxing and browsing the shit-show that was the internet, doing random stuff, he suddenly becomes oddly weary. The next moment he's fuck-knows-where and everything seems rather.... odd? He was rather confident in himself, that he usually didn't have a 360-degree field of vision, and that everything wasn't always so... gigantic. Something was really off... As if to confirm his thoughts, the very next second a series of prompts invaded his sight followed by a rather soothing voice. [Soul restoration - Completed!] [Welcome to Eve] [Status...... Species: Glade Mosquito.....] Slowly taking in everything laid out before him, Micheal responded with the most intelligent and sagely response possible. "Huh......." As such Micheal's unending search for power, adventure, and family begins. WARNING:This story features a protagonist with unconventional views and morals. In a world where only strength rules, concepts of good and evil become blurred as they fade to inutility. If you are looking for a goody-two-shoes, upholder of justice, and who goes around unconditionally saving any and all people in distress, this story is most likely not your cup of tea. It can also get pretty dark and sensual at times, you have been warned. Release schedule, Monday-Wednesday-Friday
