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

It had been a long few days. Each and every town that I had checked was slaughtered to the child. It was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Except the haystack was tens of thousands of people and the needle was a live one.

I chuckled a bit at the comparison. It wasn't fair to the people but whatever. I crossed out the second to last mark on the map.

"One left." I yawned out. There was one last city that I hoped hadn't fallen. It had become a little boring trying to find any that might have survived. It really had. I wanted to find a living person so bad but it was like they had all been exterminated.

Well… no duh they had. But there wasn't even a small camp, no signs that a person had even made it out.

I hadn't even seen a person in all this time.

Scowling I made sure that I was in a safe place before I logged out. The whirring of the machine gave me a bit of a headache before I touched the pod and it let me out.
