'Huh?'
With the appearance of the three words, the panel expanded down a bit as more words became visible.

"What the hell is this shit…" Jin was lost for words. He had no idea what the hell was happening.
'Stats? Is this a fucking game?'
All sorts of questions entered his mind but he couldn't answer any of them.
Another small panel soon overlapped the stat panel it read: Claim First Kill Reward
'First Kill Reward?' Jin murmured in confusion as the panel disappeared and new items were added to the original stat panel.

Jin furrowed his eyebrows as he went through the new items.
'I don't know what's going on…but I'll go along with it,'
With this thought in mind, Jin pressed one of the abilities which were being shown on the panel. The moment he did a small panel popped up explaining about the given ability.
-x-x-x-x-x-Training-x-x-x-x-x-
1. The host can Summon a Shadow Dummy and use it to practice various melee assassination techniques. [SUMMON]

-x-x-x-x-x-x-END-x-x-x-x-x-x-
Jin gave it a read and found what he was reading unbelievable but still just to try out his luck he moved his finger over the text 'Summon' and pressed it.
The moment he did a black figure appeared in front of his eyes.
"The hell!" Jin exclaimed in fright as he took a few steps back and fell on his butt.
"W-who are you?" Jin asked the black figure.
"…" The figure remained silent.
"Do you understand me?" Jin once again asked and was met with no response.
Seeing that the figure was unresponsive Jin's fear died down a bit as he cautiously stood up and observed the black figure. It had the same height and build as him. The only difference was that the figure was completely black from head to toe.
It was as if his shadow had taken a human form and was now standing right in front of him. "Is that why it's called a shadow dummy?" (A/N: No shit Sherlock)
Jin attempted to touch the shadow dummy and all of a sudden, a list became visible at the top right corner of his vision. It was a long list but currently, only one thing was decipherable for him and the rest were blurred.
'Chokehold' That was the name of the number one thing on the list. 'Interesting,' Without thinking further, he pressed it and immediately after doing that the shadow dummy moved.
It turned around and was currently showing Jin its back. Just when Jin was confused about what to do next a string of instructions appeared in front of his vision: Sneak behind the dummy and attempt a chokehold.
Jin was a bit familiar with the chokehold as it was a move which had been used upon him a lot by the bullies in the slum when he was young. So, he wasn't totally unaware of what he needed to do.
Jin sneaked behind the shadow dummy and then positioned his arms around the neck of the dummy in a familiar manner.
He then started adding pressure on the shadow dummy's neck in an attempt to suffocate it. As he did that, a bar appeared beside his vision and Jin soon understood that this bar was representing the intensity with which he was pressing the shadow's neck.
Currently, the bar was in the 60% range so Jin understood his assignment and increased his strength. He saw the bar slowly rising and reaching the 68% mark before it went back to zero.
Jin was exhausted by now and immediately let go of the dummy. He sat down on his buttocks to take a breather.
While he was panting for air the following words entered his vision: Chokehold (Proficiency: 2%)
Jin shifted his attention to the 2nd point of the 'Training' ability. His finger pressed over the text 'Enter' but to his great disappointment, nothing happened.
"Hmm? Is it because I do not have a range weapon with me?" Jin shook his head and shifted his attention to testing out his other ability named 'Morph'.
RING~
"My Phone?" Jin furrowed as he moved his hands under his blanket a few times and finally found his phone. It was from his colleague, Ken.
Jin picked up his phone.
"Bro, why aren't you here yet? The Team Leader is furious and is waiting for you! Come quickly!" Ken's voice blurted out from his phone.
"Where?" Jin asked. His mind was still preoccupied with the system.
"Are you still drunk from yesterday you moron? Today's Monday and it's already noon! Come quickly to report at your station. I can't save your ass for long!" With that Ken cut off his phone.
Jin's eyes went towards the wall clock the next moment.
A small part of him still believed that everything that had happened until now was a dream.
To confirm things he pinched his arm with his other hand to remove the last inklings of doubt in his mind.
He immediately grimaced in pain as a result.
"Dream my ass!" Jin exclaimed in frustration as he got ready in a rush. A few minutes later he exited his house and rushed towards the railway station for his work.
