"WAKE UPP, wake up!! For god's sake!!"
I hear a voice screaming inside my head, as I slowly stir awake...
"Huh, that's the second time I woke up on the ground"
"Phew, you are finally up" I hear a voice and start looking around.
As soon as my gaze land on the source, my heart skips a beat, or two... A girl was sitting near me, and well... the only way to describe her is as an Angel. She had long hairs, emerald eyes, a smile that would make anyone fall in love with it.
Oh right... did I mention that for clothes all I had were my pants?
"Equip the cloak." I say to the system, and as if it's magic, the cloak wraps. around me. She was surprised when I'equipped' the cloak.
"Umm Hey there, I am a bit lost it seems..." I tell her.
"Yeah you seem very lost, And how did you do that?"
"uhh... just pretend you did not see it"
"Hey btw was that your first resonator?"
"Yes, it was, though I barely know what resonators are and well to be honest I don't know anything about this place, or how I got here." I did not even know. if I should share information about me randomly appearing here. But something told me that I can trust her.
"Well excuse my rudeness, I am Sarah, a bronze ranked protector. As for resonators, they basically let you use the respective field of magic in a few possible ways. Those being the skills of course. And if you are lost, I can help you get to the nearest town so that you can contact the protection society."
"Ouch that's a lot of information. My name is Jay Chawla by the way. And I would appreciate the help."
We start moving out of the mansion and talk a little about this place and world.
This planet's name is Kronos. The deserted city in which I woke up was once a very flourishing city named Cerulean, it was destroyed in a fight between two diamond ranked beings. The rankings of the 'Power Users' were determined by the progression of their resonators, when all 5 reached the next rank, the user is promoted as well. They gain more strength and more energy or mana. Anyone who uses a resonator automatically turns into an iron ranked user, Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond are the ranks. There are many protectors' guild across the globe. Being a protector is the most paying job, after all.
"What do they do exactly?" I ask Sarah.
"You are lucky you did not wake up in a condensed zone, or you would have found out the hard way. You see there are monsters almost everywhere. The cities are protected in a way that the monsters that appear there are killed within a day."
"Monsters?"
"You can call them 'Mobs', it's more commonly used. Look over there, you can see a small goblin behind those trees." Sarah points out a green Goblin who kind of looks creepy, you know? Though it looks weak....
"I think you can defeat him too; did you use your first skill token to get a skill? Or do you have a weapon?"
"Skill token?"
Skill tokens available: 1 Time Skill.
Skill tokens available: 1 Time Skill.
Do you want to use the skill token?
Yes/No
Umm okay... I need to learn how to use this system thing huh...
"Yes"
I see light flashing, around me as what appears to be a lot of clocks move around me. And soon they all disappear in a flash.
Skill: Slowdown (IRON)
Description: For a chosen entity, time will move 3 times slower than normal.
Duration: 10 seconds.
Cost: 5 Magic Points
Cooldown: 30 minutes.
Slow the time? By 3 times? Seems strong...
"Umm sooo.. I just used the token. And is this ability supposed to be normal?
I can make the time for an entity to move 3 times slower." I take out my sword to try attack in the Goblin.
"Wait, what was the resonator you used?"
"Time Resonator... I found it in a chest in the mansion."
