CHAP 49: End of the line

"The third floor is where the clubs are, they're divided just like the classes. The third floor is where the student councils are as well, the presidents have not yet been elected."

"Hmm, can you give me an rundown of what clubs there are?"

"The clubs are our school's way of preparing our students for the real life. There's the gambling, the kendo, the music, the oratory, the economics, the technology and many more. There's an list of all the clubs in the teacher room, you can take a look at them there."

"Gambling?"

"Yes, we find gambling to be an proficient lesson on the ways of real life, it is not ordinary, but it works. Are you interested?"

I can't remember the last time i gambled something at all. Uncertainty can bring about the end of an man's life, and i'm not exactly the definition of lucky. But i can see the idea behind making it an club. It also sounds like an place where there could be some protagonists.

"I'm interested."

"Wonderful! Our teachers are allowed to enter the clubs as well, as advisers to the students. If you are interested in any other clubs, you can apply yourself as well. Though i do hope you don't overwork yourself, Jacob."

"Relax, i'm known for my endurance. About the other clubs, i'll see."

"Good, good. Let us go to the student council, then."

We went to the end of the hallway, where there was an big double door. He opened the door for me.

"This is the council room, the president has not yet been elected, and when that happens, we'll need an supervising teacher. The members of the council vote one from the teachers who've made themselves free to be the council overseer."

"When will the elections occur?"

"In 2 weeks from now."

That gives me time to prepare. I pulled out my handbook and started writing down the places of interest, and an overview of what i would do.

"Are you interested in being the overseer as well? Mr Jacob, are you sure you will be capable of doing so much?"

"Once again, don't worry. I'm aware of my body's limits."

And i know this is nothing.

"I sure hope so. The only other facilities of note are the gymnasium and the auditorium, but you'll see them when they are used. We're both busy men, i believe, so i'll be excusing myself, you can roam the school grounds by yourself, if you desire to be familiarized with the school."

"Then i'll be leaving. As you said, we're both busy men."

I offered him an handshake, and he took my hand.

"I thank you for the tour, Hidetaka."

"I should be the one thanking you, Jacob."

He went back to his office. And i stayed there, looking outside the window. I drew the view, while thinking about what i should do. After some minutes, i went down the stairs and out of the school. I will return to the dungeon, get some work done.

'Game, is there an limit on how much i can level up?'

[There is not, but getting very high levels can put you on the sights of powerful beings. Fortunate or unfortunate for you, your {prey} perk makes you appear as nothing more then an ant.]

'Can {mythomania} change that?'

[No, the only way to make yourself not appear as weak is to prove it on direct combat, or on other kinds of competition.]

'Hmm, you said before i could remove or make those flaws into good things. How?'

[You'll be able to do it after LVL 100. Being able doesn't mean being capable, though. The process is complex, and i would only be able to loosely guide you, since i'm not sure on how to do it myself. Yours is an special case, i think Death would be more aware of what to do.]

'In that note, is Death still watching me?'

[He never stopped doing so. He's waiting for something before he pulls you in for one of those conversations again.]

'And do you have any idea on what he's waiting for?'

[None.]

I was still walking while talking to the Game, and had arrived at the metro. I arrived back at home quite quickly, and when i arrived, i saw only Samantha and Mashiro on the living room. I sat on the armchair.

"How did it go?"

Samantha asked me.

"It went well, i'm officially hired now."

"I have to ask, why are doing this, my light?"

"Working?"

"I'm confused as well, with the pay we received, we could live without any of us working for years."

"I'm aware, but i'm not satisfied with that. I have my plans, and working at the school is my way in."

"And what exactly are you planning, my light?"

This time, it was Mashiro.

"Holding the world on my hands."

"Ho, didn't know you were that ambitious."

"I'm just completing an objective."

"Is that so? And who gave you that objective?"

Samantha asked.

"An voice in my head."

"So you hear voices too?"

Mashiro asked me, and i looked at her, concerned.

"Yes? But i don't think it is the same way you are thinking."

She hugged me anyways.

"Oh, my light really was made for me. We have so much in common."

Scary. Very scary.

Big author notes/ Annoucement:

Yeah, i fucked up. Basically, i made the tutorial world too much complex, and made Gray too overpowered, in the wrong way. You see, Gray is supposed to get powerful, yes, but that is after some specific events that would bring about an more "developed" strenght, not just a big fuckoff power-up that makes the most powerful being in the world an oversized fly.

So, as you may have figured, yes, i'm rewriting/rebooting this. I'll change the dungeon, and make 10000 word chapters, since i realized it's better.

About the world itself, i don't know which one to choose. I have two options at the moment, which are:

A) Dying light/HOTD, with some characters sprinkled about.

B) Rewriting this as an original novel (What i have at the moment would work as an original work, but i've never seen an multiversal travelling original novel)

And the odd card, which is basically you guys give me an suggestion and i work it out. This is an limited time option, you guys can say anything that would end fast and give an good enough power up, but i'll only accept suggestions til sunday.

Actually, there's another option, i just continue with this world, but make it more powerful.

Don't worry, i won't drop this, i just want to make an better layed out history, since i think the concept i have (which you all haven't even scraped the floor of) and the character are very interesting. Anyways, thank you all for reading, and if you want to drop after this, feel free to do so, having your attention was enough for me, and if you don't, i hope you bear with me, since i think the rewrite will be quite slow (considering i'll be travelling soon, and i won't have constant internet there).

Once again, thank you all for reading, and i'll let you all know the decisions i've made next monday.
