In a room several stories below ground lay a girl sprawled out across the floor. It was made out of rock on all sides but one that was made out of rod iron bars. This room was used by illegal slave traders to hide their merchandise from the law as it was illegal to sell slaves unless they were convicts which would normally be sold to adventurers or the military through the government as they were normally fit for some kind of combat.
...
It is currently 3 o' clock of the 7th day in the 3rd month, year 875 of the ingretaria calendar and I was out in the town square doing my usual beggar routine when something odd happened. A man who looked somewhat wealthy walked up to me and put five silver into my cup. For a while I sat there a little dumbfounded. Five silvers was enough for a person to stay in an inn four several days. Later that day I walked to my small alleyway admiring my loot from today, with this I would be one step closer to my dream of traveling outside of this boring old town.
Suddenly I felt and arm around my chest and a cloth over my mouth. I struggled as best I could, kicking and punching in every direction as hard as I could. I felt my conciseness slowly slipping away. What felt like several hours later I woke up laying on a hard rock floor that smelled of human faeces and death. In what seemed like endless darkness was slightly lit up by the candle that had obviously been used a lot.
In a corner of the cell you could hear quite whimpers and see the silhouette of several children huddled together. They looked as if they were a dogs beaten half to death.
"DING" I herd a something like a bell. When I looked to my right I saw something that looked like a a window. I sat there for a second a little confused before reaching up towards the strange window. When I touched it, it distorted a little before returning to its original state.
I glanced over to the mound of people to see if they were seeing what I was seeing. When I looked at them several looked at me with confusion while others gave me a look as if they were watching a mad person.
"DING" again it made the sound, this time I heard someone say " To see status think the of the word status." I was once again surprised but after I hearing the message I thought "what is there to lose."
Following the instructions of the the voice another "DING" noise could be heard. When I looked up I saw another screen that read

"DING" before I had any time to take in what was going on I heard the noise again. The message read "First trial: escape the slave traders.
Reward: 10 exp, dagger!!"
As the message ended foot steps and the opening of a door could be heard up the barely visible stairs. I panicked a little trying to come up with a plan to escape but it was to late, two men came down the stairs both looked intimidating but I wouldn't let them know.
The more intimidating of the two told the other to open the door, as he fumbled with the keys I noticed a shabby looking dagger hanging from his waist. Knowing this I lept into action activating my stealth skill. It only seamed to work for a while before he noticed me. It was only a split second but that's all I needed. Before he could react I had gotten ahold of the dagger and plunged it deep into his chest. He screamed in agony "AAAAAAAAaaaaaaahhhhhh" the whole room went silent, everyone watched as I continually plunged the dagger into his chest. Suddenly another yell could be heard from the other man. Enraged by the death of his partner he ran at me and kicked me so hard it sent me flying into the back wall of the cell.
"DING"
"You have learned the skill minor stab!"
"DING"
"Minor stab has evolved into violent stab!"
"DING"
"You have are less than half hp!"
"DING"
" +23 exp You have leveled up all ailment will now be removed and hp will automatically be regenerated!"
Suddenly I felt a warm light enveloped my entire body. Before I realized, the second man was already upon me ready to kick again. I quickly dodged out of the way and rushed to the dagger that had landed several feet away. When I reached the dagger again I felt something slam into me. The man had once again kicked me. I felt my ribs crack and I was once again flung across the room. At that point my adrenaline kicked in and I was back on my feet.
Once again the man came at me this time with his short sword drawn. He immediately slashed straight down. In reaction I used the dagger to parry the blade.
"DING"
"You have learned the skill minor parry!"
Again he came at me with his sword this time coming at me with a horizontal slash. We continued this game of slash and parry for a good five minutes before I saw an opening in his defense. I immediately took this chance and slashed downwards into his left thigh.
"DING"
"You have learned the skill slash!"
The man yelped in pain as blood furiously poured out of the wound on his leg. I seized this opportunity to stab him in his right side. He yelled even louder and fell to the ground. Panic and fear were written all over his face, as he began begging four his life "PLEASE, please don't kill me. Spare me I-I can help you!"
"How" I asked.
"I-I can get you out of here" he stuttered.
"No thank you" I said.
His eyes lit up in realization as the blade was quickly swiped through the front of his neck. He desperately held onto his neck but the blood wouldn't stop flowing. After a couple of minutes he succumbed to his wound and died.
"DING"
" +128 exp You have leveled up twice!"
I once again thought of the word status and the strange screen popped up.
