"Finished with a couple minutes to spare, lets look at these rankings shall we"

I click on the ranking option in

"Wow I'm third for this zone, that's much better than I thought"

I take a second to watch the remaining people fight for their lives..

"Hopefully I get a good reward for my placement."

[This was shorter than I expected]

The angel's eyes land upon the remaining people who have yet to complete the mission.

[The amount of survivors has been met for this zone, you were too slow]

"Please angel, I only need one more"

"Mercy have mercy please"

[So disgusting you lower life forms asking me of such things, after all if you weren't so weak you would have survived]

And with that all the remaining people who had not finished the quest slowly started withering away. Like dust in the wind.

My eyes widen, I had just witnessed the death of thousands of people, begging for their lives.

[As a reward for surviving the first round you all will receive a unique skill as a reward, you will receive the skill by crushing the rune which appears in your inventory]

I check my inventory and notice a red rock in it.

"That must be the unique skill"

Name: Rune of paths

A blood red rune, you can hear the sound of echoes emanating from it, you are able to decide my easier, and have greatly increased reaction time.

I stare at the description, my expression blank.

"I-Is that it?" 

"There's no way I got something so weak! Making better decisions? What kind of skill is that?"

Suddenly I find myself waking on a hard concrete floor. Looking around it is clear I am now back in the real world.

"They are waking up!"

A large crowd of people could be seen gathering around everyone on the floor.

I start walking away, not wanting to been part of anything happening later.

Slowly the sound of talking is drowned out through the cold night.

Finally, after what felt like hours I arrived home. 

Silence echoed throughout the house, the cold tiles make my feet shiver as I approach a room. Carefully I creak the door open just enough to peer inside.

"Good she's asleep" I say.

My sister has always been the light of my life, ever since our parents passed away I have been taking care of her, I was forced to drop out of school in order to make a living wage.

It truly pains me to know that I probably wont be alive much longer.

"It's all because of this shit unique skill."

I lay down on the couch, trying to get some much needed rest, slowly dozing off.
