I pulled up my status window. Sure enough, right there in front of my eyes, was an active skill called “Reaper Zone (Level 1).” “Let’s put this baby to the test, shall we?” I somehow knew that I was supposed to say the name of the skill to activate it. “REAPER ZONE!!” I screamed, and suddenly, the ground around me, for about a 50 foot radius, became blood red. My vision tinted red as I walked towards the crystal. Right when I was standing in front of it, I became a flurry of movement. My hands became deadly blades as I dashed up and down the near vertical sides of the crystal, leaving deep slashes everywhere I went. Once, I looked down and realized I was holding a crystal-like crimson red knife in each hand. Was I… stealing the blood of the crystal and making it into weapons? But I couldn't think about it too much. I had a test to finish. After 4 minutes and 32 seconds, the crystal was almost unrecognizable. “Terminate Reaper Zone'' I gasped and fell to the floor, exhausted. The next thing I knew, I was waking up in a hospital bed.

I sat up and groaned. The first thing I remembered was my test. With perfect timing, a nurse walked in. “How long have I been asleep? I demanded.

“3 days, sir.” She replied. I sighed. Luckily, I hadn’t missed the prelims for the Elite Royale tournament. Suddenly, Kira entered the room. 

“Jack!! I thought you were dead! When the test administrator told me what happened, I was scared you died of exhaustion! I won’t ask you about it, because that’s personal info, but from what I heard you did absolutely amazing! You cleared the test in a world record time!” That girl really likes to ramble, I thought.

“Yeah, I’m fine. But something happened while I was out there, some kind of special skill?” I pulled up my status window. It now read:

Unique Ability: Reaper Zone

Money: 100,000 Rez (gifted from Kira [Healer, C Rank])

(Passive Skills)

Reaper Zone (Level 1)

Description: A unique skill wielded by the reaper. Within a 50 foot radius, anything that is living can be targeted and killed. While inside your reaper zone, your melee attacks with daggers become 250% stronger. You can see the vital points of your opponent while they are inside the reaper zone. The reaper zone follows you at a speed equal to your base agility stat.

(Active Skills)

Reaper’s Blade (Level 1)

Description: while inside your reaper zone, you may collect and harden the blood of your enemies to form weapons with attack power equal to the opponent’s base strength stat. While wielding reaper’s blades your dagger attacks become 100% more powerful. After this skill reaches level 3, your reaper blades can slice through anything on the planet without resistance. While using reaper’s blades inside reaper zone, you gain the use of the skill “Reap”

Reap (Level 1)

Once the conditions to use this skill are met, you can perform a killing combo of 5 hits to each of your opponent’s vital points. This skill becomes increasingly deadly and effective as it levels up.

I glanced up from my window. Kira was looking at me with a puzzled look on her face. “Jack, what’s on that status window? Why are you looking at me like that?” I laughed. There’s no way. I’m the first person to ever have this class? I looked up at Kira. 

“I… have a unique skill. And apparently I also have a unique class, because you didn’t mention anything about the ‘Reaper’ class.” 

“A UNIQUE CLASS?? THIS IS UNPRECEDENTED!!! WITH YOU ON MY TEAM WE’LL CRUSH EVERYONE IN THE ROYALE!” I sighed. 

“Kira, I still have absolutely no idea how to use any of my skills. I’m not sure I’ll be much help to the team if I don’t know how to use my special class-specific abilities.” I glanced up. Kira was nearly crying with excitement and happiness. I smiled. There’s no convincing her otherwise now, I thought. Then something struck me that I had never considered. My sister!  Is it possible that she got reborn into this world? I don’t know. But I have to look. Maybe I’ll meet her in the Elite Royale, if she was reborn with the same abilities as me. As I thought about these things and more, my eyes slowly closed, until everything was black.
