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

The halls were filled with the suffering sighs of students. Each of them wore cumbersome robes, lugging around giant bags filled with regents and books. I felt a tinge of pity for them. Just a tinge.

But given that I was forced to wear their same outfit, sans the books and regents, I felt my ire justified. Just because I didn't have to carry those things doesn't mean that their robes still weren't the worst to wear.

And it wasn't even like I had to be here in disguise. It just felt more natural… more of a statement to do this rather than to show myself in casual clothes marred by dirt and blood. I kept an even smile as I made my way to the nearest storage.

It was a small little place with several locks, both magical and mundane. The mundane parts were easy, a small tap and an exertion of force and voila, they were open. The magical security was a bit more tricky.
