"First, let's talk about the reward for completing the first level."

System - Congrats on surviving the first level. You received 5 points.

"Now, before you complain, saying that it's too little, this is how much you get for surviving."

'No matter what he says, this is too little' Kirko thought. 'But why did I get a title?'

System - For getting more than 30 kills in the first round, you have earned the title 'The Bloodied King.' The title's power: The player's strength increases by 10% when an enemy's blood touches his body.

'Hmm, looks useful.'

"Now, if you don't know what stat points are, I have added an introduction videos in your system. You can watch it and learn about the things you still don't understand. I have also added an inventory. Watch the tutorial to know what that is."

Kirko opens his inventory to see he has 16 slots. "Guess I can only carry 16 things with me—well, 15 if you consider the book."

"Now that all that is over, let's move on to the second tutorial. We have over a thousand people left in this region because of the previous round. If you want to know how many people died, it was over 900, and more than 50 people did not reach the safe zone."

With a smile on his face, "Now, let's get to the best part—the Rankings. I will talk about the ranking, including all the players in the world who are still alive, not just your region. In first place, reaching the safe zone with 16 hours to spare is..."

A blue screen pops up, and Kirko looks at it, his heart beating fast, his desire for first place overwhelming him.

"Umbrella Boi..."

Kirko looks at the screen, shocked. He falls to his knees and turns to the ground in defeat.

"And Kirko,The Bloodied King."

Kirko looks up at the screen, his name in first place. With his hand still on his face, he screams out loud with no fear, "YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!" Only for everyone to think that he is a madman.

"Okay, don't scream. I will put the ranking up, and your reward will be points equal to the number of hours you were closest to, so get some rest because, in one day, the next level begins."

System - "You have been rewarded 16 points."

"16 points, that's a lot! I gained a total of 21 points today. With this, all my stats can be up to 15." He opens the ranking in curiosity.

================================

Before going back to his room, he went to Cain, who congratulated him for reaching first place. Kirko then asked Cain about his ranking—he came 38th in the region and 285th overall.

As they talked more, the white room disappeared, and Kirko was back in his own room. "That shocks me every time it happens." In joy, he said, "Well, that was good. I got a title and gained 21 points." He ruffles his hair. "Well, I'm not the only one. Umbrella Boi—what a fun name. I guess he got an A-rank weapon like me. It sure is fun to have competition, but I will win next time."

In another home, "Reaching first place was nice, made me feel like a king, but it is what I deserve after going against that giant snake. I thought I would die, but it was fairly easy to make him tangle himself up. Who knew an umbrella could be so powerful?" He turns to the rankings. "Sadly, I'm not the only one, but it will be fun to meet you, Kirko." With a serious look," Next round, I won't lose."

"Ha, I can't wait to eat this ice cream. Nothing's better than eating ice cream in the summer." Kirko walks out of the shop with his ice cream. "In about five hours, the next tutorial will start, and because of the rewards, all my stats are at 15, except for vitality and endurance, which are at 13. I think this will be enough for the third round. If I can finish this, then I can get a so-called rune."

"Somebody help! That man stole my purse!"

A person in a mask was running. He bumped into Kirko, making him drop his ice cream. In an instant, Kirko grabbed the back collar of the man.

"Do you know what you just did?" Kirko glared at him.

"Hey, kid, I'm a player too, and I am the third-ranking one—Ninja—so don't mess with me."

"You just made me drop my ICE CREAM." Kirko pulled him in and held his hand. "Pay or lose a finger."

"Kid, I don't think you heard me. I said—"

"You have three seconds. 3... 2... 1..."

Ninja slipped from Kirko's grip and aimed to kick the back of Kirko's head, only for Kirko to turn back at him with a scary look, catching his leg. "Time's up." He pulled Ninja forward and, in an instant, broke one of his fingers.

"AHHHH! Who are you?" Ninja screamed in fear.

Kirko ignored him and walked away, saddened by the loss of his ice cream.

"Wait, young man," a lady called out to him.

"Take this." She gave Kirko money for an ice cream. "Thanks for helping me get my purse back, and please take the money and buy another ice cream."

Kirko's eyes lit up. "T-Thank you."
