The Dungeon System

*ring* *ring* *ring*

Liam's head kept ringing and ringing until he was awake. He slowly opened his eye and looked around for where the noise was coming from. After collecting his thoughts he realized it was his alarm. He immediately jumped out of bed in search for a clock.

'What time is it, I hope I didn't miss it'

He looked at the clock that read 10:04 AM, and gave out a sigh of relief.

'Thank god'

Liam will officially be sixteen at 10:10 AM. This is the age that everyone awakens their first ability and the day that people are enrolled in ability school for the next two years as a requirement for every citizen in the new world.

Although it is required to go to ability school everyone always looks forward to it as an opportunity instead of it feeling forced. Once you turn sixteen you are taken to the dorms of the school regardless of how far you are into your current school.

The ability you awaken is completely random as well as the strength or weakness of your ability. Whether you get a good or bad ability decides whether or not you will succeed.

People started to gain abilities after the dungeons started to appear. The appearance of dungeons dropped the worlds population to under half a billion people world wide, wiping every continent off the map except for north and South America. This is not because these people were stronger than others but they didn't get many high leveled dungeons in the area until the abilities started to be gifted the the human race.

'Just one more minute!'

*tick*

'It's 10:10 but I don't feel any thing?'

"Huh"

*Plop*

Liam hit the ground after what looked like him falling asleep while standing.

~30 or so minutes later~

Liam regained consciousness and felt all the knowledge on how to use his ability in his head. Liam immediately jumped on his bed face first, and let a long and hard sigh.

'Why did I have to get such a useless ability'

Not to long into his sulking session his finger began to burn. Upon closer inspection he could see that his fathers ring was now glowing white. Liam instinctively tried to grab it and take it off, but before he could it disappeared.

A translucent black box with white lettering appeared in front of him read out-

[You have met the requirements to receive The Dungeon System]

Liam sat on his bed in silent confusion until the first box disappeared and a new one appeared in front of him.

'What is even going on'

After five minutes of contemplation with thoughts like 'Is this a trap?' or 'do I even have any thing too lose with my ability' Liam's curiosity got the best of him.

"Menu!"
