Changes

515 Words
Ever since that day, everything in the world has changed. What matters the most is power. As the world has survived the prologue, the ability to open the status window appeared and people could see their own status. Some special people rise to fame as the massed dubbed them as ‘heroes’. Blessed with status higher than the average and special skill that could kill a lot of monsters at the same time. They are the hope of humanity to survive. After the apocalypse called the prologue, no more monsters coming out from the dimensional fissure. Instead, they stayed at their original location. When a person comes near the fissure, the system that appeared with the end of the prologue notified everyone that they could enter it. Inside the fissure, there are monsters that wreaked havoc on the earth. Somehow, they didn’t go out from the dimensional fissure anymore so the people called these dimensional fissures as dungeons. It was laughable at how easily people adapted even after countless life is lost. Especially if profit is mentioned. A group of heroes was sent inside the dungeon for the first time. They managed to clear the dungeon and brought back massive rewards with them. A unique item that gives a powerful effect that is envied by many. Not to mention that the dungeon isn’t gone after they keep clearing it again and again. Each dungeon immediately considered as national assets by each country. Law pertaining to dungeon tax was made nevertheless it didn’t subside the people's interest in them. Soon the world revolves around the dungeons. Powerful people risen as heroes, items with various effects become high-level commodities. If there’s an advantage there’s also a disadvantage because of the dungeon at the same time. More, life is lost inside the dungeon. Those who are weak but strive for riches fell victim inside. The number of people that died inside the dungeon almost on par with the number of people that died on the prologue. As for me, my family disappears on the apocalypse day. Either they run away or they couldn’t make it. It doesn’t make any changes anyway since I never had any real conversation with them either. I managed to survive so far due to the money left behind in my parent’s cabinet but it must come to an end eventually. I doubt that I could find a part-time job because of my trait. Watching at the TV where the heroes are always on the highlights, should I enter the dungeon too? However, remembering the prologue and the dead bodies of my classmates, it makes me want to throw up and run away. But, do I have any other choice? Clenching my fist, I walked towards the dungeon that is located in my former classroom. Seeing the place that always gives me a nightmare every night, I made my resolve. The world has changed and I needed to change too. What could possibly happen anyway? At worst I will just die and I can consider that as a relief for me. Being released from the burden of living alone ignored by everyone. 「Do you want to enter the dungeon? 」 “Yes!”
