A Maze

"They're already giving the feel of the strong get stronger." He went over to the A.C. deciding to go for some oatmeal. While waiting he sits with his thoughts, he already met Tokin Yu, the highest-ranked player on the leaderboard, but at the same time, he wasn't in the top one-hundred for a reason so it made no sense as to why he was acting like he owned the place.

After the A.C finished Jack quickly ate his food, before collapsing onto the now comfier bed. Taking a look at the leaderboard, with a bit of shock it seemed Tokin had an objective and that was to kill Anny Marry since he jumped all the way to one thousand seven hundred thirty-five kills which was how many kills Anny had. Igris had also jumped by a little less than three hundred kills and was now at one thousand sixteen, third now being someone named Hassan Smite with eight hundred twenty-two kills.

Going through the leaderboard Jack scanned over it but was really looking for himself sighing when he saw how far down he was. He was eighty-forth on the leaderboard and getting higher would be much harder now, the only way he could climb higher is finding others who were on the leaderboard. But he could think about that when he's out of his room, for now, he needed sleep.

Waking up to nothing he keeps his eyes closed until the alarm on his wristband goes off, letting out a groan he rolls out of bed and rubs the sleep out of his eyes. But this is the first challenge Jack faces every day, wanting to get up, and he wouldn't let himself lose to it so easily since it isn't what makes a player. After he finished getting ready, he still had twenty minutes to do something and that's when he remembered. Going into the investor section of his wristband he looks at the investments but the mystery one hadn't revealed itself which he thought to be extremely weird, but now there was text next to it 'Get top five to receive this investment.'

Rolling his eyes he sits down on his bed and makes sure all of his weapons are good to go before everyone is teleported. Specifically making sure his revolvers were good to go, sure snipers were annoying if anything were to happen to them but with his sniper, he had time to do something with it considering he normally used it at a further range. A few seconds after he was finished checking everything a green circle appears around him, "Oh wait the ma-"

But it was too late, teleporting into a maze he could feel a light rain on him. There were vines along the walls but whether they could hold him up to the top of the incredibly high maze he had no clue, this map was the worst for him since he had no height advantage. Opening his map to confirm that it was just the maze he sighed when he sees that it is. Looking around himself he has three ways to go and if he squints he can just barely make a figure out at the end of the place. Taking his sniper out he pointed at them smirking before he shot, they were standing still allowing Jack to get an easy kill.

System:

You have killed Josh Freeman and have gained 115 kills.

System:

For reaching 200 kills you have gained one milestone point.

"Now to keep that pace up." Running down to where he killed Josh who was no longer there since he had over a hundred kills. He looked along the other paths hoping he would be able to find something to help him. Suddenly he got a system message.

System:

Your investors have gifted you 20 milestone points (2500 kills).

System:

Your investors have helped you learn the skill 'minor regeneration' (1000 kills).

"What's with the big investment?" He lets out a light chuckle before looking around he decides that all he can do is try. Heading to a wall with a massive amount of vines he ties one of them around him before backing up from the wall, running at it he jumps high enough to just be able to grab the other vines and begins tying them around him before covering himself with the wall of vines.

It was the best cover he would get and it would give him some time to do things with his skill tree considering he was pretty hidden. Opening his skill tree he quickly got the neural P.U.D skill now he had to wait for twenty milestone points which he only needed four more for. Testing the skill out he thinks of what he wants to see which is the map. He studies it for a bit but that was soon interrupted by the sound of boots in water considering the light rain had caused some puddles to form.

Turning his wristband off he tried his best to be as still as possible, waiting for the person to pass by, he couldn't see a face but all he needed was for them to turn their back to him. After getting to the four-way intersection that is right next to Jack they look around and as they do that Jack could hear the sounds of stretching coming from right above him.
