SpacesSnips

It was originally a game, made to be as realistic as possible with features to match. But as time passed and the game progressed there was no doubt about it. The game encroached upon reality. Not in the traditional sense, that the same monsters and people we had come to know so intimately started to appear in reality. But blank spaces that swallowed the country... the continent. And any that attempted to even reach a finger within those blank spaces of reality were consumed alongside it. 
I had thought myself average, that I could make some money with this game. Sanctuary. But there was a problem - a boon - whenever I gained a skill, it became max level. There was no exception. So, when the world started to fall apart, and my prowess revealed… They hailed me a hero. Despite the wrongdoings and plundering I had done in the name of wealth and power, they looked to me. To solve their problems and save the world. But could I do it? Demons and beings of absolute power. Such that even my cheat made it only marginally easier. 
I had no choice. It was either I fought and won, or I cowered and let the world be consumed by the cold devouring void. 
And so, I fight; from a beginning filled with greed, to a future filled with the hopes and wishes of mankind. Can I do it?
"Heh~"
Of course I can.

My Skills Are All Max-Level

I stretched my back and ran my fingers through my hair. My eyes were tired and groggy. You could even call them bloodshot.

"Ugh..." I groaned into the pillow.

All of this exhaustion from the contract work I was doing yesterday. Really, I didn't even have a single minute to myself.

It was all drink this, carve this, make this thing work so that the other thing wouldn't just fail whenever it was activated.

God, I just wanted to sleep for another day. But no~ I'm not allowed to.

I want out of the frontier. I want out of this work.

Not only was it remote but it was so cold.

Maybe when I go home I can take a vacation for hmm... thirty or forty years. By then I'm sure there would be another heir.

My eyes glared at the room in annoyance. Something's off.

When I opened the door, there was only carnage to be found.
