My name is Zander short for Lazander Smith I am what you would call an outsider, seventeen and without a single friend. I spend most of my time in libraries and other places where I can learn things, if I am not learning I craft things to pass the time. The best thing is I have a photographic memory so I can memorize anything; I got perfect grades in school so I know I can get a scholarship however most of the people in the school hate me.

  Teachers hate me because of my father’s reputation around the town; guys hate me because I am smarter than them. The girls hate me for being smart and not paying attention to them. Basically my life is shit; I have been staying in the library for the whole day because it’s the schools personal fuck with Zander day. I was looking up some new ways to craft things when a blue screen showed up in front of me.

  I spent a few moments going through the message in my head when the loud speaker rang followed by the principles voice.

  “Attention students don’t pay the message any mind it was just some joke and continue with your classes.” (Principle)

  That is bullshit if any person with half of a brain looked at this screen they would know it wasn’t a joke. I got up from my seat and blocked the door with a bench so nothing came in until everything calmed down, if panic strikes it’s best to be alone.

  “What are you doing Mr. Zander?” (Librarian)

  Shit I forgot he was in here, I turned around and was about to speak when my face was sprayed by blood followed by the screams of the elderly mad. I watched as a crimson sword appeared from his chest, his body fell to the floor showing a creature with a bloodthirsty smirk on its face. I quickly looked around to find something to find to help me defend but the only thing I could find was the wood chair that was about to be taken to the incinerator. I made up my mind and went for it, creature cut me off and thrusted it’s sword at me. I turned just enough for it to miss my body only to graze my forearm, blood dripped to the floor as I fell into the wall next to the chair.

  As I stood up the creature approached me licking its sword, I grabbed the chair and charged at it. The creature blocked the chair but it didn’t stop me as I Spartan kicked it away from me, the creature dropped its sword. I didn’t miss this opportunity and grabbed the sword then charged at the creature, I swung down at its head implanting the sword in the middle of its head.

  As the last notification disappeared immense pain shot through my body and before I knew it I was on the ground convulsing trying to keep awake. Minutes in the pain faded slowly but I could still feel the pain subsiding.

  I slowly got up and walked over to the creature to look it over; the creature was half of the size of a full grown man with four fingers, its face was extremely ugly with a pointed nose and sharpened teeth. As I looked over the creature information flooded my head.

  Wait the description say’s it’s suppose to be a stick wielding monster not a fucking sword wielding monster. I sighed at my bad luck then looked at the sword it had, a short sword that was in good shape other then the blood on it.

  Wait there are dwarves now, hey System mind telling me where the dwarves are?

  Alright so there is no rush, let’s see if the goblin has anything on him. I searched through the corpse only to find a bent stick that smells terrible followed by a notification.

  Alright so far I have been getting skills but does that mean I am in some sort of game world now? As I thought about it I started trying to pull up my status.

  So these are my skills well I appreciate the inventory skill since I don’t want to carry everything around. Before I go anywhere let’s see if it truly is a gaming world now, I walked to the how to books and picked one of them up to see a notification pop up.

  I clicked yes and knowledge flowed into my mind but it wasn’t limited by the old worlds fish it detailed other types of fish as well.

  Well that’s actually good so I can get food as long as I have a fishing hole near me. I was curious to see what it would look like when it was maxed out.

  Wow that’s a big chance, alright let’s put that in my inventory for others later on along with the others so I can learn them. I walked around the library collecting every book that would be useful; as I collected books I couldn’t help but feel uneasy. How did that goblin even get in here? Wait didn’t that message from before say there were monster spawn points. As I thought that I heard screeching from the other side of the bookshelf, when I looked I saw a new goblin checking its comrade which was deader than a hobo’s funeral. The new goblin was a few inches taller than it’s friend but it wielded a stick which gave me a little hope, if I had to fight against another goblin I don’t think I can win since I am already injured.

  I grabbed a lord of the rings book and threw it to the left side and distracted the goblin, once it was distracted I snuck up to it and sliced the creature’s throat with my new sword. It fell to the ground as more notifications came into view mostly about the auto loot skill but I did get a sneak skill which actually really sounded cool.

  It’s not much now but can you even imagine what will happen when I master this skill? Ya let’s celebrate after things are not trying to eat me, Well let’s see if the vents are clear or not and god help me if there are any bugs.
