After Life: Knights Of Sin

Chapter 2: Awakening

Barracks of the Diora kingdom

Remi had changed from his uniform into a dark blue shirt with a yellow collar. The shirt had a big "D" on the back and a yellow ring where Remi's navel was; he had on blue trousers and black boots. A few days after his arrival, Remi wanted to interact with the other Nigerians who had come to this world with him, but his social anxiety prevented that, especially when it came to Eliza. She was quite pretty. The boy decided that after he had gained some confidence he would try and establish a relationship with her and the others.

Finally, Victor invited the 6 new recruits to the main guild hall. In Diora they have 4 guild halls, 3 belonged to the strongest knights of the kingdom. But the one Remi was currently in was a freelance one for unranked knights.

"I suppose I should also tell you about your levels and rank now, huh?" said Victor, gripping his chin.

"First of all, God made a system similar to that of otherworldly games, so by simply thinking about it" As Victor said this, a small blue holographic window appeared in front of him.

"This window displays...

*Name(health, mana)

*Level(showing the amount of progress a person has made)

*Class(whether you become an archer, swordsman or wizard)

Then your stats

*Attack power(atk)

*Defense (Def)

*Speed(speed)

*Magic power(sp atk)

*Magic defense (so Def)

*Intelligence (int) [how creative one can be with magic]

*Critical hits (crit) [how lucky one can be when fighting]

"Also, note whatever class you choose can affect your stats as a whole, too," Victor finished.

"The 6 of you are all bronze-level knights and you're also rankless for the time being. If you want to raise your rank, you'll have to accomplish great feats and survive through the deadliest of challenges," Victor explained.

The ranks were-

Bronze>sliver>gold>platinum

Platinum is the highest leveled knight.

(If I'm going to strive in this world, my secondary goal should be to reach platinum) Remi thought he was definitely more ambitious in this world where the rules are flipped sideways.

"All this is really confusing, smmmm," Alex said, sighing strangely.

"Supposing one wants to reach a level instantly, what would he/she have to do?" Ali, the oldest male asked. Ali was the type who wanted to get things done quickly.

"That's easy; go defeat some demons," Victor said nonchalantly.

"Yikes..." Deborah commented, her hair looking even rougher now when she's scared.

"Back to the matter, there's this excursion we do whenever we get new recruits. If you can survive in the wilderness for a week, you'll get free equipment, housing, food, and, of course, a cash prize if you are interested", Victor announced.

Any normal person would be excited but the 6 people in front of him were the most scared of the idea, even the new ambitious Remi didn't want to risk his life for this... Then all of a sudden Remi's hand was lifted into the air.

"The hell?" Remi said as the other 5 looked at him like a madman.

Remi felt like his hand was being tied by an invisible string. He looked around and saw a knight with glowing fingers. He was dark-skinned and bald with a big scar on his scalp.
