"Finished with a couple minutes to spare, lets look at these rankings shall we"

"Wow I'm third for this zone, that's much better than I thought"
I take a second to watch the remaining people fight for their lives..
"Hopefully I get a good reward for my placement."
[This was shorter than I expected]
The angel's eyes land upon the remaining people who have yet to complete the mission.
[The amount of survivors has been met for this zone, you were too slow]
"Please angel, I only need one more"
"Mercy have mercy please"
[So disgusting you lower life forms asking me of such things, after all if you weren't so weak you would have survived]
And with that all the remaining people who had not finished the quest slowly started withering away. Like dust in the wind.
My eyes widen, I had just witnessed the death of thousands of people, begging for their lives.
[As a reward for surviving the first round you all will receive a unique skill as a reward, you will receive the skill by crushing the rune which appears in your inventory]
I check my inventory and notice a red rock in it.
"That must be the unique skill"
Name: Rune of paths
'A blood red rune, if you listen closely the sound of voices guide you, this rune allows for better decision making skills, as well as being able to make harsh decisions more easily, and have a greatly increased reaction time.'
I stare at the description, my expression blank.
"I-Is that it?"
"There's no way I got something so weak! Making better decisions? What kind of skill is that?"
Suddenly I find myself waking on a hard concrete floor. Looking around it is clear I am now back in the real world.
"They are waking up!"
A large crowd of people could be seen gathering around everyone on the floor.
I start walking away, not wanting to been part of anything happening later.
Slowly the sound of talking is drowned out through the cold night.
Finally, after what felt like hours I arrived home.
Silence echoed throughout the house, the cold tiles make my feet shiver as I approach a room. Carefully I creak the door open just enough to peer inside.
"Good she's asleep" I say.
My sister has always been the light of my life, ever since our parents passed away I have been taking care of her, I was forced to drop out of school in order to make a living wage.
It truly pains me to know that I probably wont be alive much longer.
"It's all because of this shit unique skill."
I lay down on the couch, trying to get some much needed rest, slowly dozing off.
Finally after what seemed like years of torturous waiting the day came.
"I promise I will come back, you don't need to worry about me, my skill is really strong."
But I new this was a lie, if anything I would have the weakest skill of them all, but I couldn't bare telling her this.
"Come back, please." She says "I don't want you to die."
A small tear appears below her eyes, which is quickly wiped away.
"I promise"
And with that, I lay down in my bed, closing my eyes and waiting to be sent into the world of unknown yet again.
