"How am I supposed to kill the Goblin King?"
My head aches, unable to muster thoughts.
"I thought I selected easy mode, this shitty system!"
Bushes started shaking violently in the distance.
What seems to be a green figure can barely be seen between the leaves of the bushes.
It was a goblin hiding in the bush.
"Shit! It's a goblin!"
My entire body started to shake intensely.
I had no weapons or armor to protect myself.
"I have to run away"
I started to sprint away as I hear the goblin chasing me from behind.
My breath started to run out.
I did not have a good physical body. Legs are fatigued.
The goblins stomped got closer and closer.
I could feel the goblin breathing down my neck.
The goblin swings his wooden club towards me in a diagonal motion.
Barely ducking under the swing, I started to run towards a tree.
With all my might, I begin the painful climb using the rest of my bodies energy.
Arms aching while pulling my body weight up the tree.
Hands blistering grabbing the branches.
"I made it"
Out of breath and in an exhausted state, I finally made it to safety.
The goblin growled at me, and then started to walk away.
"Why am I so weak that I have to run away from just a single goblin"
"How am I supposed to beat the goblin king?"
Suddenly the environment around me turned pitch black, as if the void manifested around me.
~~DO YOU WANT THE POWER TO SURVIVE?~~
A mysterious voice spoke, as if it was said in my head.
"Yes please, I will take anything to become stronger!"
~~GOOD. IF YOU CAN HANDLE THIS POWER, YOU CAN BECOME THE STRONGEST~~
A jolt of electricity penetrated my skin, shocking my entire body.
"AURHHHHHHHHH"
Body struck with intense pain, barely able to stay conscious.
~~PUSH THROUGH THE PAIN AND SURVIVE THIS TO GAIN THE POWER YOU WANT~~
"I CAN'T PASS OUT HERE! I NEED TO GET STRONGER AND SURVIVE!"
Fighting against the pain of electricity piercing my organs.
Barely holding onto consciousness.
Endure.
Endure.
Endure.
Consciousness came to a dead stop.
I'm knocked out cold.
Thoughts circle around my mind.
"Am I Dead?"
"How long have I been here?"
"Am I truly going to be stronger?"
Feeling a sense of Deja Vu, I struggle to barely open my eyes.
After force my eye lids to open, I find myself lying down on the ground.
Around me, the entirety of the once beautiful green field has become completely burnt.
Shivers strike down my spine.
I check my body for any visible injuries, ultimately finding none.
My arms started to glow a faint blue light.

"Status window? Like in video games? I never knew I had one!"
"How do I view it?"

"Oh ok so I just say it? Alright, Status Window!"
A blue and black panel appears before me.

"System Breaker? I've never heard of something like this before, ands it's also an EX class skill?"
Humanity has always thought that S Class was the highest skill class. But right now I am the first to ever have a skill never seen before.
"What does the system breaker class even do?"
Suddenly a Dropbox appeared under the skill.
System Breaker:
• Skill Proficiency - 1%
||Checking available powers at 1%||
||Skill Found||
||Unlocking System Breaker, Basic Skill: Electricity Manipulation||
A spark shoots down my body.
Legs collapse, dragged closer to the ground.
"Electricity Manipulation? What does it do?"
||Electricity Manipulation:||
||Wield the power of electricity which has been blessed with the system breakers energy.||
||Enemies hit by this electricity have the chance to become stunned and be locked out of|| ||their system functions.||
"Isn't this skill super overpowered? This is what I get just for having 1% of the system breaker class power unlocked?"
"How do I use this skill?"
Before I know it, my skill had already been activated.
Waves of electricity arc between my hands.
"What is happening to my hands?"
I point my hand towards the tree and a bolt of electricity launched forward, obliterating the tree.
Smoke bled from the tree.
The tree, now completely burnt to ashes.
"I did NOT just shoot electricity from the hands"
"Maybe this floor is possible to clear after all"
Hopes have now risen up.
Maybe I wasn't doomed anymore thanks to gaining some unknown power.
I look back at the destroyed tree, but something caught my eye.
The tree started to glitch out, just like what happened to the system panel from the difficulty selection area.
The tree colours start to glitch out, with the tree now completely covered with glitches.
The sound of loud beeped echoes across the area suddenly.
It was the towers system.
|| Error in Floor One had appeared ||
|| Activating Safety Protocol ||
|| Beginning Extermination Of Bug ||
Before my eyes, the tree that had glitched out immediately was wiped and disappeared without a trace.
|| Extermination Complete ||
|| Sending Report Back To Main ||
The system then disappeared to thin air.
"Did this power cause this?"
This power is more dangerous than I thought, something of this caliber should not be used recklessly.
"I should go find the goblin lord and escape this floor"
For what feels like hours, I wander around the area.
In my peripheral vision, I witness an abandoned village off in the distance.
Stumbling upon the abandoned village, my legs make their way through the villages entrance.
Upon entrance, my vision bears witness to a hoard of goblins surround a large, barely visible figure.
"That is a massive group of goblins, I wonder what they are surrounding"
I lurk forward to take a closer look.
My body stopped dead still as soon as I realised what was in the middle.
It was the Goblin Lord.
The target I am supposed to kill to complete this floor.
Unfortunately, it looks like the Goblin Lord has spotted me.
