Prologue
My name is Jack. I am 15 years old. I am an orphan. I grew up with a bunch of monks on a mountain, but I left due to clashing ideals. I am currently in class during brake period, and as always, I am sitting in the back of the class all alone with nothing but my hobby to keep me company, observing people. I watch my class mates talk endlessly about stuff, like how great their date went last night, the new show that aired over the weekend, or what their plans are for the break.

'What the fuck.'
reward for being the first person to obtain a skill calculating.... Title obtained (skill whore)
"..."
"..."
"WHAT THE FUCK."
Everyone looks at me.
'Oh shit I said that out loud.'
"..."
"..."
"Excuse me."
I get up and go to the bathroom to get away from my class.
As I get up, I notice that everyone has a name and a 1 floating over their head.
'Odd'
When I get to the bathroom I see my own name and a 1 in the mirror.
'The 1 must mean level 1. Hmmm'
''
As I scream that one word in my head, a blue window pops up in the same way the previous two did.

After I close all the windows I start heading back to class.
'That was...odd'
When I get back to class everyone was back to talking amongst themselves again.
*ding-don*
That was the sound that break time was over and it was to move on our next subject, PE.
As we were heading to the changing room another announcement appeared in front of me and, by the way everyone reacted, the entire class.
You will now be transferred to the inside of a dungeon at random locations in 5:00
"What the hell!" (Unanimous)

Anchor Points: Age of Heroes
If you had a chance to reset history, knowing what we know now, would you take it? Six years after kicking an alien expeditionary force off the surface of the Earth back to their staging bases in the asteroid belt, and aided by stolen alien technology, the United Terran Republic Navy has finally achieved enough warship production to put the enemy on the run. Despite the facade of unity projected by the Earth's new federal government, deep cracks still lie under the surface that threaten the stability of world peace and the ability to protect humanity with a unified military response. Within this backdrop, the North American Union, now a mere state in the greater union, has created or reopened multiple off-books projects and black sites to house secrets both old and new that would be far too toxic or dangerous to be known to the wider world at such a delicate stage in world history. One of these secrets will draw Captain Henry O'Toole from his comfortable posting with the Jupiter Fleet straight into a world of conspiracies and secrets that could destroy the new, still fragile world order. Captain O'Toole will take command of mankind's first true starship with a secret mission that would be seen as treason by the new federal government. His orders are to use a prototype faster than light drive to travel through dimensions higher than spacetime and ride the expansion of the universe to create an off-books colony solely for the NAU. There are consequences for escaping time's jealous grasp, which instead position them to have a chance to change the course of human history. Fate has called the Indomitable Will and her crew into the Age of Heroes, will they be able to rise to the challenge?
