I am Wang Xizen a child of the famous Strategist Family rivalling the Jaegal family
"today is my happiest day! Cause today is—"
As I opened the door in front of me
"Yezin! your brother has come to see you!" I ran to the crib and saw my little brother
"Eh? Why is he so small?" I wondered and asked the nun with a confused expression
"It's because he's still a baby, Young Master"
I didn't really understand cause I was still 5 at the time, but I just smiled it off
"Ahh! Okay I understand!!"
I tried to hold my brother's hand but he held my finger.
At that moment i knew and smiled, I knew that this creature, my brother, I need to protect him at all—
10 years later, i grabbed my brother's hands and ran away from our palace
"C'mon Yezin! Let's go!" I said with a intense face, looking at Yezin.
Yezin who is playing in his room is confused at the situation
"Brother! What happened! Why is there fire outside!" Said Yezin in a terrified face.
I ignored Yezin and ran away with him through the woods, holding him.
A few days later, in a little cabin owned by the Wang family, while I sat in a rock, trying to find a way to survive, I look at my brother, who is playing in the lake, I stood up and came to him
"Hey.. are u hungry?" I said with a little smile on my face, whilst it obvious I havent slept for a while since I need to stay guard.
My brother who knows that I haven't eaten for a while knew that its hard to find food.
"No brother.. I'm fine.. Is mom and dad not going to search for us?" Said Yezin in a gloomy face
"They will.. just wait.." I said, knowing that cause it has been days, they are probably dead by now, but I don't want to make my brother sad, so I will fill his hope, even if it means I need to lie.
I walk through the woods trying to find for foods, after walking for a while, I found some berries, no, a bunch of berries!
"Wow! This could be enough for a few days!!" I said in my mind with a happy face, starry eyes, I opened my bag and picked the berries.
I ran to the cabin with a happy face, and can't wait to tell this good news to Yezin, after a few moments I reached the cabin and took a moment to take breath, I looked at the lake and saw Yezin wasn't there, I thought to myself
"Ah maybe he is tired, he probably went to sleep" I walked to the door and opened the door loudly and shouted
"Brother! I found some—!"
My face went from happy to horror, cause I didn't find my brother In the cabin, could it be that he drowned? I ran to the lake and screamed
"YEZINN!!" but no answer, I swam inside a trying to find for Yezin, the lake was quite clean so I could see a little bit underwater, the lake was small, after a swimming for a few minutes, I still couldn't find Yezin, I swam to the shore and trembled, my voice breaks "Y-Yez-in"
I screamed loudly to release my emotions.
After a few moments, I stood up in a face full of anger "I….", I went to the cabin, and took my knife I used to hunt rabbits, I will find my brother, there's no way he's dead, even if it means I will search for him my entire life, then so be it.

As I walk outside I found my brother Infront of me, turns out he was looking for sticks for our fire this night, as soon as I saw him, I cried in tears, but I held it back
"Y-you naughty kid!" I pinched my brother ears while holding my cry
"o-ow, B-brother?!" Yezin was confused by the situation but smiled it off
I released his ear, and hugged him, but I still knew, that, in order to survive in this world, gotta be strong, strong enough to protect my loved ones.
Suddenly a mysterious voice appeared in my head
'congratulations, you are picked as a Challenger of the Heavenly Tower, Teleporting..'
"H-heavenly? Tower?" My head went dizzy, and couldn't hold my ground
"B-brother?! Are you okay?!" Said Yezin in confusion as I fell to the ground
After a few minutes I woke up, I was still dizzy, but I sat and try to grasp the situation.
"Yezin? Wait Yezin?!" As I'm regaining my consciousness, I realized the white room I'm in, even though there's much people, Yezin isn't in this room, I screamed Incase he's somewhere, but no one responded which means Yezin isn't here, I'm worried and terrified, I fell through the ground, on my knees and cried, my thought were full of bad scenarios, "what if Yezin starves? What is Yezin is afraid alone? What if Yezin is cold?" Many thoughts run into my head, until a purple ball appeared, everyone was looking at the ball including me, and the ball opened it eyes "Why hello server #1208" said the black ball with eyes
"Today you will do a tutorial, I heard most of your worries, but don't worry while at it the time is frozen from the outside" said the ball with a happy smile on his face
"Wh-what are you! What are we doing here?! Are u kidnapping us?!" Said by the random guy that is confused by the situation
"Oh no, don't worry, all u need to do is pass the tutorial, and if u don't pass, you will be sent back to the world, without your memories of this place of course!" said the ball with a smile on it face
"ah I see, how much?" Said a guy in a expensive robe walking to the ball with a sly smile.
"What do u mean?" Said the ball while having a death glare.
"You know.. to pass" said the guy in a expensive robe, trying to bribe the ball.
"You are staining this tutorial! Go back to ur place or else." As the ball give him a death glare.
I noticed who that guy is, that's Sunghyuk from the Eunha Family, or known as the Heavenly Merchant, I stood my ground and start to grasp the situation, since I don't have to worry about Yezin, I need to survive this place no matter what, "since there's a big shot like Sunghyuk, I trust there is someone here that could be stronger than-, yes, I knew it" as I searched for someone and found him
"Ryuk Yagami, a wide known rising swordmen"I said with a grin on my face
But then something appeared Infront of me, making me surprised, "Wh-what is this!" I said in my thoughts as i looked at the weird thing Infront of me
"That is a window notification, a window that will explain about your physique, potential, skills, abilities, and much other more! Just explore the window functions while at it." Said the ball while winking at us
"Well then, open the gift box Infront of you, and look what u will get as your trait!" Said the ball happily
"Giftbox?"I said in my thought, confused by the situation, i instinctively pressed the window, and suddenly another notification appeared stating
'congratulations, your passive trait is "King of None"
Details'
I was confused "king of none? Does this mean I will never be strong? Is this my fate?" As I fell down to my knees breaking, but after a few moments, I bit my lip and stood up again, "so what? Even if I have to defy heavens, I will change my fate!" I said while standing proud.
"Wait? Details?" I said in my thought, and the detail window opened.
' KING OF NONE '
' ??-CLASS (??) '
' PASSIVES : '
'All-Prodigy: For everything you learn or train, a proficiency boost will be added by 5×'
' Curse of Jack: Until the curse is broken, after reaching a certain level, the boost will turn into a curse and will slow all of your progress by 5× '
I gulped looking at the curse, but "Wait isn't this overpowered?! Does this mean I can become a sword prodigy?!" I said while having my eyes sparkling happily, cause all of this time, my family tried to help me grow but I lack the talent, I felt like a failure..
Then a door appeared and I noticed the ball dissapeared, the door opened then a window appeared again
' QUEST '
'TUTORIAL'
'SURVIVE 10 DAYS OR KILL 100 GOBLINS'
'0/10'
'0/100'
'Reward:???'
'Penalty: If fail to fulfill, you will be sent back to your world without any memories about this place'
Then a man in a weird black suit I don't know walked through the door with no doubt at his face, I was confused but I also knew that "this is the start of my journey, a journey of becoming strong!"
