POV : OMNISCENT
Inside a small dusty room , everything was silent and normal . Their was an old bed frame that lacked both the mattress as well as the beddings , a small wooden chair that was on it's last legs and a desk with a single piece of paper on it .
The room was illuminated by the golden rays of the morning sun which painted a sort of ancient and desolate vibe but realistically , the room was just poorly maintained and dirty .
The walls were cracked , the window was broken in certain area and the roof had e wet spot on it showing it had suffered under natures wrath
A sudden change , an instantaneous occurrence that anyone would have mixed with a single blink occurred in the room . A human figure appeared . Completely out of nowhere as if he were some sort of phantom in the room .
His body weight made the floor boards croak but it still held strong . His presence felt oddly strange in this strange room . But his maintained silence was oddly fitting for the old rooms presence
The male human strangely did not open his eyes . His body was as still as possible and he did not produce any sound despite the strangeness of the room . As if it was normal for him to be in that scenario
The room returned to it's normal boring state and the male did nothing to dispute this . The air was calm , the sun kept shining and the wooden boards still remained cracked .
Interestingly enough , the male was not completely still . A keen observer would have noticed the barest of movement his ears made . A slight twitching that only the keen eyed would spot . It was a strange movement , unnatural , but no one was present to see this strangeness
The male finally opened his eyes . Exposing a striking blue and finally since his arrival , he broke the silence .
" It's too quiet . " A fact that had bothered Mikael since his arrival .

POV : MIKAEL
Mika was a person who appreciated all types of situations . For instance , he appreciated a calming silence , and he also appreciated a maddening chaos .
And that was why , immediately he arrived in the room , His senses went a little haywire .The room itself was silent . Silent to the degree that would have been impossible and that in itself was strange . Unnatural even because it was not natural for a place to be so silent . No it was unnatural for a place to lack any noise at all !
And that was what was wrong . The human body required every sense organ and the respective causes of that sense organ to be effective .
For instance sound for the ears . A lack of which it would start to operate wrongly . Mika for instance the moment he had entered the room could fill that he instantly become disoriented . A state of nausea that he quickly fixed with the time his eyes were closed .
He looked around the room and found it surprisingly bland . Nothing really that caught the eye . It was really an normal room , apart from it's poor quality .
His attention was easily caught by the peice of paper on the desk . The reason for that was the words that were being written on it without outside inteference . Mika noticed the similar glow the system window normally gave of and approached , taking the piece into his hands .

MISSION REWARD : .To be determined on completion
MISSION FAILURE : Decrease in worth
]]
Mika almost felt ecstatic with this option . Yes the difficulty had increased but the possibility of learning magic was still there . And no matter what he thought , Mika was excited with the option .
Magic in it's simplest explanation would be performing a miracle , taking an impossibility and making it possible and Mika was not one to deny such an opportunity . At least that was how Mikael understood it
And even better , from what he acquired from the little information he was given by the system , he at least knew the random world he would be going to . Like many children , he had been told the tale of the little red riding hood as a bed time story in his childhood . Good times that he would never forget and the story had stuck with him .
The words next faded from the paper only to be replaced by the next option . The more malicious option that held a certain ferocity that Mika felt despite it being written .
[[

]]
Mika was a lot of things , crazy , arrogant , vengeful , petty but one quality he refused to have was to be stupid . To look at the short time win rather than the long term victory and exactly at this moment , both options were being presented right in front of him had those exact scenarios in mind . The short time benefit and the long time one
From what he could infer from the second mission , not only would he not be alone in trying to kill of a member of the metal skull faction , he would also have to compete with others to do so .
And if he choose to take part in the mission itself , he would be making an enemy of someone he had zero knowledge of . Not even their strength or who they had as backup and that was plain foolishness . It was like washing your neck for a chopping board
And even if Mika was curious about the strange properties of the bread and wine , was it worth it to risk his life for a piece of food item that for the him of now had zero use . . Realistically that was not his style .
The only slight good thing about the second mission was that his failure would lead to the loss of only one attribute point What was more important worth or an attribute points . To Mikael , the answer was very simple
His choice was obvious and there was no reason to hesitate . The second option had to many blank spots for him to try it and at least the first option was more linear in what it wanted . He could work with that .
So without hesitation , Mika made his choice
" I choose to assist the metal skull faction in their objective ."
The words faded to blankness and were replaced with a last farewell from the system .
[[ GOODLUCK CONTESTANT MONARCH ]]
