[Out of 132 Players, how many will make it out alive in 10 minutes? ]
Just like last time, the information appeared of the next few quests that were going to occur. I observed them for a few minutes before closing my eyes as I reorganized my thoughts.
\'I will die.\'
And that\'s the conclusion I reached based on my stats and Gift. All by myself, I was pretty sure that I would die by the first trap or monster that I would encounter.
But then… There was something that I wanted to try.
[Would you like to send [Contract!] to [Adrian John Rodriguez]? Since it\'s your first [Contract], No GM Points will be consumed!]
A smile formed on my face as I clicked [Yes], before another notification popped up. This time on my blue screen.
[Game Master [???] wants to bind a [Contract]with you? You will allow [???] to bestow [Blessings!] [Title!] [Skill!] [Gold!] [Curse!] [Punishment!] in exchange for doing their bidding whenever they ask you to!]
[Would you like to proceed with the Contract?]
[Yes!]
[Congratulations! You are now officially bound to [???]!]
The messages stopped on the blue screen, as I decided to move to my next step. But something nice happened next on the \'White Screen\' that made me widen my eyes in astonishment.
[You have formed your first contract!]
[Contractee: Lower Grade Mortal with below basic Stat and No Gift!]
[+100 GM Points!]
[+500 GM Points will be added as a beginner Gift!]
I closed my eyes for a brief moment, before a wide smile crept up on my face. Looking at the information that was in front of my eyes, I wondered what would happen if I were to form a contract with a Higher Grade Mortal… or even with someone with a Gift.
But for that… survival comes first.
[20 minutes till the Game Starts!]
[Gift: Superhuman Abilities!

[Gift: Elemental Summoner!

[Gift: Mana Body!

\'So the high limit is somewhere in billions, Huh?\'
[Gift: Walk!
Grade: Lower Mortal Grade-9
Effect: Allows the user to walk 1.1 times faster!
Cost: 20 GM Points!]
\'And the lower limit is in the 10s, huh?\' I thought before trying something more.
[Gift: Walk!
Grade: Lower Mortal Grade-10
Effect: Allows the user to walk 1.1 times faster for 10 minutes!
Cooldown: 60 minutes!
Cost: 2 GM Points!]
\'Good. This opens up many options,\' I thought as I closed the [Gift], until I had enough time to sit and think about it. I don\'t know if I could change my [Gift] later or not, so for now let\'s postpone it until I have at least 10,000 GM Points.
[10 minutes till game starts!]
\'Yeah, yeah. I know.\'
I then began analyzing the next level and what I need to do. While fighting is an appropriate choice, I wanted to keep myself hidden until I had enough strength to defend myself.
And in order to do that,
[Skill: Absolute Foresight!
Rank: SSS-Rank!
Effect: Allows the user to view 10 Seconds into the future!]
[Would you like to create [Skill: Absolute Foresight]! For 200 Million GM Points?]
\'This is too much, huh?\' I pondered before trying something else.
[Skill: Trap Detection(Passive)
Rank: E
Effect: Allows the user to detect all forms of traps within 100 meters!]
[Would you like to create [Skill: Trap Detection!] for 1000 GM Points?]
\'Hmmm… Let\'s see. If we do this,\' I then added a few restrictions to that skill and then.
[Skill: Lesser Trap Detection
Rank: F
Effect: For 60 minutes, the user can see all traps around him within 20 meters in range!
Cooldown: 7 Days!]
[Would you like to Create [Skill: Lesser Trap Detection!] 100 GM Points?!]
With this one done, next one…
[Limited Skill: Trap disarmament!
Rank: E
Effect: Allows you to Disarm Traps below Lvl 10 immediately!
Restrictions: The skill will stop existing after 20 Traps are disarmed!]
[Would you like to Create [Limited Skill: Trap Disarmament!] for 80 GM Points?!]
\'This should do,\' I thought before looking at one of the Hidden Quests.
[Hidden Quest 2: Disarm!
Difficulty: Moderate!
Objective: Disarm/Trigger at least 8 Traps on your way!
Rewards: [Skill: Beginner\'s Perception!] ]
After giving it a bit of thought, I then tried changing a few things within that quest.
[Hidden Quest 2: Disarm!
Difficulty: Insane!
Objective: Disarm 20 Traps on your way!
Rewards: [Skill: Perception!]; +5 Attribute Points!]
[The following changes will cost 200 GM Points. Will you proceed with it?]
\'Is 20 Traps too much?\' I thought before I decided that it was not. I just need to not go the way where the monsters are.
[2 minutes left before the Game starts!]
Since all the things were done, I decided that I should place my bets as well.
[Out of 132 Players, how many will make it out alive? ] [50 GM Points!]
[Out of 132 Players, how many will make it out in 30 minutes? ] [50 GM Points!]
[Out of 132 Players, how many will make it out alive in 10 minutes? ] [100 GM Points!]
[GM Points: 120!]
I took one last look at my remaining GM Points before I then focused back on the countdown!
[The Game will start in 10 seconds!]
And the countdown slowly turned to 0, before everything turned back to color again.
