Election START
When I looked up, there was a man wearing black, and as soon as I looked at his face, a pain worse than a migraine entered my head and I immediately went into the fetal position.
Alice called out to me in a hurry: HEYY alexandre are you ok please answer me
I couldn't even speak because of my headache, my lips felt like they weighed a thousand kilos. But how could just looking at someone give me such a headache?
Alice was getting more and more worried: 'Hey Alexandre, please, please be OK.
I think they also realised that the man was actually dangerous, everyone who looked at him was slowly collapsing and curling up, and they didn't dare to look at him.
As the atmosphere gradually calmed down, the only sound that remained was the sound of tears and sobbing, people crying out of fear or because they had lost a loved one.
It was then that the man's voice could slowly be heard.
Man in black: Understood, young master, I am sending everyone to the selection centre. Yes, yes, you can be sure that there will be absolutely no one left.
I was thinking 'selection' when suddenly the man burst into the classroom. The fucking alien could fly, what kind of trouble are we in? Actually, the government was saying that they had captured aliens, could such a thing happen? Oh, that's bullshit, those rumours were nothing more than a meme.
Suddenly he glared at me and my headache felt like it was going to burst. It felt like my bones were slowly cracking, starting from my spinal cord. Just then the man raised his hand and said one word.
-Let the election begin.
From that moment on, I fainted.
When I woke up, it felt like I was constantly falling. I couldn't quite understand where I was. It felt like I was falling, but also swimming at the same time, and I could breathe very easily. I was afraid to open my eyes; this was normal. Suddenly, everything I was feeling changed, and the sounds were different.
After some time, which I can't exactly measure, I gathered the courage to open my eyes.
The scene I saw shocked me.
There were spirals everywhere, and I was at the center of them. It felt as if a vortex had formed in the sea and I was in the middle of it. Even though I had eaten something, I felt strangely full, but I couldn't understand why.
I continued examining the emptiness for a while, and just then, something caught my eye. It seemed like there was a tear in space, and it felt like I was about to reach another world. I thought that perhaps salvation lay that way.
Like anyone would—though I don't think everyone could think this way—I started swimming toward the tear. Slowly, slowly, I was getting closer, and the spirals kept following me, always keeping me at the center.
After some time, which I still couldn't fully comprehend, I reached the tear and threw myself into it.
Suddenly, I found myself in a room filled only with darkness, but my bare feet were touching the ground, so I should've been in some kind of room.
When I tried to take a step, I felt an unfamiliar pressure on me.
Then, a voice, unlike any human or any living creature I had ever heard, shouted at me:
"YOU'RE INSUFFICIENT. GET OUT."
In that moment, my soul shot out of my body, and I saw my own back.
I muttered, "What the hell did we get ourselves into…"
At that moment, I wasn't thinking about Alice or Augustus; that was perfectly normal. In life-and-death situations, no one was as selfish as humans could be, not even the so-called noble-hearted individuals.
When my soul shot out through the door, it felt like I returned to my body, and suddenly, the spirals exploded.
Under the intense light, a blue text appeared in front of me.
CONGRATULATIONS
WELCOME BACK, MR. Scacciando L'oscurità <3 <3 <3
WELCOME TO SYSTEM LE ELECTİON
WOULD YOU LIKE TO ENTER TRAINING?
I fell silent. What young person wouldn't want to be part of a system like this? Well, that was an exaggeration. At least most would definitely want something like this to happen. Like any young kid, Alexander had also read his share of novels.
"Off, who wouldn't want this? Yes, I want to enter training."
Then I heard a voice
*Welcome to the training, Mr. Alexandre, please determine the characteristics of your Deuteragonist!!!**
At that moment a half-counted runic window appeared in front of me.

------------------------------------------
I think the things that people usually imagine are based on a certain reality, so people write cultivation novels.
-Hey, can you open the system skill window?
....
After a long silence, I realized that it didn't look much like novels, so I started to examine it myself.
The character window made a lot of sense, it was something I was already familiar with from games and litrpg novels so I didn't pay much attention to it, there was nothing that was only selectable anyway so I immediately started examining the skill tree.
My dream has always been to be a well-rounded fighter, I want to use both sword, spirit and magic like a god, so I need to distribute it in a balanced way.
As for arcana and soul, I guess I'll have to think about that when I level up, but I can invest a little bit in soul.
Primitive man already had a high starting base stat in terms of intelligence and endurance, so I will invest in strength and spirit as much as possible.
But when I was distributing the points I realized that people were really, I guess, a little bit smart. I didn't really understand what was smart now, but really +30 was a bit too much, or I guess I'm too smart.
I suddenly forgot everything and laughed and my saliva got into my throat. Damn it, I understand if something ends well, anyway, let's distribute the points.

Thinking it was good, I shouted START TRAINING.
**The training begins. Good luck.
There was a strange sadness in the voice that most people wouldn't notice but interestingly it reminded him of his mother's voice talking to him when she was sick. Anyway these were memories that shouldn't be remembered so I let myself be swallowed by the feeling of emptiness and lost in eternity.
