(Adam) "Is some one playing games with me? Why am I back in this place. He told me that." My thinking is cut off by a blue box popping up in front of me.

Body creation commencing
Blue screen after blue screen flys by almost faster than I can read them. Leaving me no time to process what I am learning. When suddenly I feel a strange pulling sensation along with another blue box.

Seeing the blue box ask for my input for the first time I try to think about what to do. After a moment of thinking, I reply with a yes. The tugging feeling starts to grow stronger at this point. Bracing myself for what is to come to more boxes flash by and the feeling vanishes.

Body integration complete
After that, I am again left alone in the dark.
Waiting in the dark for something to happen I start to think about recent events. Things like the fact that I am no longer human. The fact that I now see magical blue boxes. The fact that I made a deal with something that is clearly evil. Not to mention the fact that I died and the person who killed me was reincarnated as a hero while I'm stuck as a dungeon.
After letting off some steam I start trying to think about things rationally when I suddenly have an idea. If this system is like a game then shouldn't I be able to open the stats I just got? I interacted by talking early. So maybe .... Well. No harm in trying.

(Adam) "open... Open? .... OPEN! ...." "Why won't it open!? Wait. Calm down. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. But I wasn't given any instructions on how to do it. What will I do if I can't figure it out? No. Stop thinking like that. I got it. I'm probably just saying the wrong word. Maybe...." "stats!"

(Adam) "yes."
You need more MP
Not knowing what to do I just wait there looking at the abilities. Noticing some very useful ones I start to look at them slower. Making sure I understand them all.
After a while of waiting. I fell energy gathering in me. Having already planned out what I'm going to get I start to speak.
(Adam) "Dungeon sense."

As soon as I bought this skill I could see a rocky chamber with a crystal in the middle. Looking at the crystal I could tell this was my body. It felt strange to look at myself but I quickly got used to it.
(Adam) "Well, I guess I should just wait for more Mp to unlock rooms with. Then I should start getting traps and monsters to defend me. After that, I need to... What do I do after that? I .... Well, I guess I will just find out then. For now, I just wait to gain more MP."

(Author notes)Sorry that this chapter was so short. The rest of them will be much longer. This one was mostly made for me to get used to using the charts and to ask for people's opinions on them.

Sector 27
It wasn't until June 3, 2101 that World War 4 ended. This was not a war that ended in peace treaties or truces; this war ended with disease. The atomic war caused plague and disease that crippled major countries. The generals and great leaders of the countries at war died from the radiation that penetrated every part of the globe. It was only then that humanity realized what they had done- what they had created. The first ever mutant was publicly executed the very day the war ended, and a new war began: the war against mutants. The surviving nation of Japan quickly rebuilt their country by dividing it into safe zones, or Sectors. There are currently 26 livable sectors in Japan; Sector 1 is the richest sector and the only sector that has completely rid itself of all radiation left over from the war. In fear against the threat of mutants, the once small section of the police force grew until it became the main police force in Japan. After all, humans shouldn't be blamed for crimes when the real threat to society is mutants. This police force that goes by their motto: Special Treatment Against Mutants (STAM) is comprised of agents that go about their work to capture and detain all mutants. Sector 26 is the poorest sector that humans can barely survive in; but there is one more part of Japan. This "dead zone" has such a high concentration of radiation that if a human were to step inside the barrier, they would die in mere moments. But within this dead zone, this 27th Sector, there lies a secret organization of mutants that fight against STAM and protect all mutants from their grasp. The Mutant Recovery and Protection Agency (MRPA) operates to hide mutants in society and allow them to live human lives. The only thing that stands in MRPA's way is STAM and its agents who hunt them down ruthlessly, so MRPA has their own set of skilled agents. And the battle rages on...

Noble Assassin
When I died on death row, that should've been the end. Except I was transported to a new world with a System where I was the forgotten third son of a powerful duke. I tried to live a normal life, but I was executed for my family's treason. After that, I regressed back to when I was 17. Six different times. So it's time to try something different─like learn magic and exploit this stupid System to Hell. Maybe literally. Whatever it takes, right? Unfortunately, the System might already be exploited to Hell and I’m this world’s only chance at saving itself from being annihilated by demons. All I have to do is kill the strongest one of all.
