《Life is not a game: Ice》Chapter 01
Advertisement
It all started as a normal day. No, it started as an amazing day.I never thought I would be staring at my brother's limp, cold, and lifeless body. Just staring at eachother.
I woke up last night barely remembering what happened last night. The fragments that I could gather is that we had an amazing new years party. Although I was underage; my friends Gorem, Nate, Thomas and I were able to get ahold of some of my parent's alcohol. While my parents were out on a Caribbean cruise to celebrate their anniversary and new years. I was even able to break out my shot glass chess and play with my friends, I won each time of course, but five games can still make you drink as much as lossing twice. It also brought us to the brink of passing out.
I looked around with a bit of a headache and counted how lucky I was to land on the only bed in the clubhouse, where we partied, even though Gorems big body was laying down on the bed shirtless. As soon as I saw that I immediately kicked him on to the floor with a loud slap and a painful yelp. I looked down onto the floor where the yelp came from and seen what he hit. It was thomas. Poor little guy, he’s only five eight and as skinny as a toothpick. I also knew he had a lot of muscle with all the parkour he does. Still Gorem weighs over 230 pounds with some thick and hard bones it must have hurt bad… It’s all Gorems fault anyway. As thomas got up slowly in pain holding on to his dark skin.
“Gorem watch where you fall, god” He complained.
I chimmed in “ yeah gorem you hurt him pretty bad."
“Aren pushed me off!” Gorem yelled
“Quit making excuses on why you fell, accept that YOU fell on him” I replied.
Gorem went quite knowing he would not win the argument. I looked around and seen my brother kel passed out on the floor. Nate was across the room asleep spooning his girlfriend kate. I went and fixed everyone’s breakfast. By the time I finished every one got up due to the smell of bacon, eggs, and toast filling the club house. First thomas came through the door followed by Gorem then the loving couple, Nate and Kate holding hands and laughing with each other. Finaly my step brother Kel, he was holding his head in pain must be tough since it was his first time drinking. Although he is only a year younger than me since he is 16 years old. We all ate in silience out of consideration of every one’s headaches.

After we finished eating everyone's headaches except kel’s went away. We were all hanging out like normal, then something caught everyone off guard. Something that we did not fully know how to react. Even though I always praised myself for being calm and collected to be the fastest to react in any situation. But this, this made me stop thinking and freeze as I read what was on the floating blue screen directly in front of me.
I have grown tired of watching this boring world, where nothing interesting happens anymore. Because of that I’m going to change you and earth earth into something…..interesting. I’m giving you all a random power, that can follow through into any children you conceive
As a finished reading that part I felt a warm movement feeling in my chest. It did not hurt It just felt as if a ball of ice was there. I decided to note it and move back to finishing reading.
That was the first change, here comes the second. I have created monsters based off your religions, books and games and the rest well, you have to find out about that yourself.
After I finished reading it, I decided to try to touch it. In which I found out I couldn't only move it with my hands just not touch. That is when I decided to try and throw it at the wall to make a dent. I might need a weapon because I believed every word that I read. Since it is to extensive to be a prank by humans and also if I don't I might die. I did not like the sound of monsters, however, my test received an unexpected result. It disappeared when I threw it. I have read light novels and web novels before so I immediately knew that I must have closed the box by swiping fast. When I was starting to get lost in thought about all the questions forming in my head. The noticing that every ones faces turned paler; probably reading what was on their box. When I was about to say something another box appears.

Congratulations on being one of the first ones to leave the intro text, you are the seventh person to do it. Because of that I will grant you as a part of the top ten more information about ability acquisition.5 %unranked18 %Rank F11 %Rank E5 %Rank D50 %Rank C10 %Rank B5 %Rank A3 %Rank S2 %Rank SS.95 %Rank SSSSlots are random and range from 1-4. The amount of slots determines the amount of abilities you can have. There are ability books, held by strong creatures . If you read one, a slot will be filled up and will grant you the ability. The book will be destroyed in the process
I can not tell you how happy I am I'm trying not throw the screen; this is all life saving information. For now I took a mental picture in my mind just as I closed the blue screen another one showed up.
Ability SS Rankedcomplete Ice Control, the ability to control and create ice.
COMPLETEGives you the ability to make your ice as hard as diamond or as soft as cotton, while granting you complete cold immunity. Anything cold will not harm or affect you, although you can feel it. Can absorb ability books to make itself stronger0/3 slots filled
Well damn I feel so lost reading and a lot of questions are forming, however, if what I read about monsters is true then I need to learn how to use my “ability” as soon as I can. I looked back at my friends seeing that they just read their abilities so I decided to ask.
“I dont know whats going on either but we need to stay calm if what we read is real. What did you guys get?” They were a bit confused but the first to respond was Gorem.
“Weapon creation rank D-A since it can eat abilities to infuse them into the weapons" I then looked toward Thomas.
“Minor berserk ranked C it increases my muscle growth and I can use all my muscle to the best potential and the plus side about it being lesser I can recognize between friend and foe. I would hate to see the non minor.” Thomas said.
I then looked to kel who was leaning on the door holding his head with a pale face.
“Okay good. What about you Ke-”
Boom!!
No one even had time to react to the sudden noise; my step brother's body was flying towards me knocking me down on my back hitting my head knocking me out. When I woke up it had gotten darker outside I sat up holding my brother's body shaking him unable not wanting to accept the situation. I was about to yell the realization of what happened came to me. It could still be near, and not wanting it to kill me. I just stared there silently staring at my brother's dead body with tears overflowing in my eyes as hes lifeless eyes stared right back at me.
