"Do I need this?" I questioned myself as the only effect from the gas that I felt was probably the heaviness in my chest.
I've already gotten used to it, and though it sotis interferes with my sleep, that's the least of my worries when trying to get a restful night.
"Also, there's this," I muttered before glancing at a set of another few panels.

What… What is this? A main quest? I've never seen this from the system before…. Is this the present?
"It seems fun… Though it is right. I have barely even started. I need to continue to level up and grow stronger, so let's not stall any longer. By the age of 17, I swear I'll beco the head," I muttered to myself.
Though that doesn't really sound possible, I'll give it a try, y'know.
…
After only a few days, I had finally found the last victim that I needed until I could acquire a class, and they looked very weak.
They hobbled as they stepped forward, and their body was very thin.
Despite being most likely in their early thirties due to their upright and decent posture, they looked to be in their late seventies or sothing close to that, just judging from the many wrinkles.
Though, the most noticeable part would probably have to be that he wasn't wearing a mask at all.
"It's a good thing I decided to start wearing this," I muttered while patting the black mask on my face.
It was noticeable that there were so people who either couldn't afford masks or just completely refused to wear them, and the consequences of that were their well-being.
The slight haze over this city was toxic pollution created by factories that produce mass-produced magic equipnt.
The fus that emit from these factories are so toxic, in fact, that if you stood in one of the chimneys, you'd just die instantly after breathing just once.
"What a fucked up world," I muttered before pulling the sa move on all of my other victims.
I tripped them, and then with a hard yank and infusing mana into my muscles, I pulled them into my alleyway before slicing their eyes and throat with a sharp rock.
I had sharpened it over the past few days, so now, there was barely any friction.
Oh yeah, that butterfly knife I acquired just disappeared the night I had acquired it... like it was never there in the first place.
The man writhed in pain, but I quickly put his suffering away as I stabbed him in the head repeatedly.
Even with infusing mana into my muscles, I didn't have enough strength to fully cut through his throat, so an instant death wasn't possible.

A flood of notifications ca in, and it took a while to absorb, but after about fifteen minutes, I think I had the gist of it.
Oh yeah, I also disposed of the body.
I guess there are these things called hidden quests, which are essentially quests that I have to discover rather than receive and then complete.
Plus, there was this leather book sitting in my hand, and this was most likely the skill book that I had received as an award.
"Interesting," I muttered before glancing up at my status, and sothing caught my eye.

"Should I… Use it here? The process doesn't take that long, but that is more than enough for sobody to feel the lingering death in the air… and then ultimately lead to killing or capturing ,"
I pondered over whether classing up right now was a good decision since if I increased my other stats, then I might unlock more powerful classes.
I was not one to use a weapon besides a magic staff in my previous life, but the idea of a magic swordsman intrigues …
"But, would the system be so kind as to give that to as my first class up option… h, probably not. I'll increase my strength later as I'm sure I'll only get a swordsman as an option…."
I stared long and hard at the class-up option before finally giving in and ridding myself of any more hesitation lingering in my body.
I clicked on the class-up option, and my vision went dark. My senses had been lost, and the only thing I had was my mind.
The first ti I encountered this, I panicked so bad as I thought I had been blinded or sothing.
Zzzzzzz
A light buzz echoed through my head, and it almost seed to bounce around inside my brain, rattling my skull itself.
Then, with a blinding flash of white light, I appeared in an endless black void with a single panel floating in front of .
