'If this isn't real, then this has to be the greatest trip of all time.'
Jason furrowed his brow in confusion as he quickly went through all of this! He read across the top of the tab, and his confusion grew when he saw the name [Necromancer System]. The system also called him the KING and he could get subordinates from the other classes.
'There's a chance I'm already dead and all this is just in my head, but if it isn't, then it's a chance, so why shouldn't I use it?'
Jason decided to forget all about whether or not this was a dream. If it was a dream, then it wouldn't matter either way. And besides, with all the madness that had been going on in the world recently, this was the last thing that he would regard as a 'Strange Phenomenon.' Everything in the world was strange these days!
Jason watched as the tab closed in front of his eyes and another one opened.

[The system has detected a massive difference in power between the User and the opponent. The user is extraordinarily weak.]
[This is the user's first battle, therefore the system has decided to create a One-Time Package and gift it to the user.]
[Does the user wish to open the One-Time package? Yes/No]
Jason immediately chose yes. He was annoyed when the system called him extraordinarily weak, but he couldn't argue since he knew that it was true. Just looking at his stats told him that he was pathetically weak.
The purple light surrounding Jason suddenly intensified, and Jason raised his head as he felt a massive amount of power filling his body. Was this the gift from the system?
[The user has been gifted a temporary boost by the system.]
[All Stats have received a temporary 50% boost that will be removed after the User claims his first subordinate.]
It was like Jason had taken some sort of drug! All of a sudden, he felt more energy than ever before filling his body! His muscles were more compact and he could feel his very cells vibrating with power! It felt like he would lose his mind if he didn't find an outlet for all this power as soon as possible! And there was only one thing around him to receive all his energy!
Jason turned to look at the wolf that was still looking away to prevent the purple light from blinding it. It was taking cautious steps back, trying to put distance between itself and the foreign entity that had suddenly appeared!
The light began to dim slowly as the changes in Jason finally took root, and he felt for the blade he was still gripping tightly. There was so much energy flowing through him at that moment that he felt like he could take on a thousand wolves, but he knew that it was just the high he was experiencing from the adrenaline. In truth, he was only barely strong enough to tussle with the wolf so he had to be smart about it so he didn't lose his chance!
The wolf turned back around once it realized that the light was dimming, and it growled as it saw Jason's form reappear! It stalked to the side cautiously as it tried to measure Jason's threat level. Even though the wolf was only a mob beast from a Red Gate, it was still capable of noticing the changes in mana around it, and from what it could sense, it knew that Jason had undergone some sort of change!
Before, Jason had just been a regular human with no mana within him at all and the wolf had been certain of its victory, but now, it could sense a great amount of mana moving around inside Jason's body. It was obvious that Jason had gone through some change and the wolf knew that it had to be careful before attacking!
But after a while of measuring Jason's worth the wolf finally decided that it was not in any danger! Even with the changes, Jason was still a weakling! The wolf stopped and bared its fangs towards Jason angrily, and Jason crouched while bringing his dagger up to chest level. The wolf charged forward and Jason immediately jumped to the side to avoid the charge! He turned around and slashed across the wolf's back, but the knife in his hand was too weak, so it didn't even leave a mark!
Jason cursed, flipped the knife, and held it in a reverse grip. If the knife couldn't cut through the skin, then he was going to use it for stabbing instead!
Boom!
Jason suddenly shot off the ground with so much force that he shocked even himself! He overshot past the wolf by a large margin and he had to flip and land in a crouch to stop himself a few meters away!
'Holy shit!'
Jason's eyes were wide in shock as he realized the new extent of his abilities, and it wasn't long before a cynical laugh slowly burst out from his mouth! He was going to fuck this bastard up!
Jason dashed towards the wolf again, and this time he was able to gauge his ability properly, so he didn't overshoot! Anyone else would have taken a long time to get used to the newfound strength, but Jason's innate adaptability allowed him to limit or increase his power output by will, and that made it easy for him to control his movement!
The wolf tried to take a swipe at him, but Jason dodged the wolf's claws and got in close. He ducked to the right and used his left hand to push the wolf's face to the right and away from him before using his right hand to drive his knife into the wolf's right eye!
Squelch!
The wolf let out a loud howl as it suddenly lost an eye! It jerked angrily as it bit down hard on Jason's arm, but Jason was shocked when the wolf's teeth didn't even tear his arm off! The attack was painful and the teeth sunk deep into Jason's arm, but it didn't cause as much damage as Jason thought it would!
'Is it because my durability got increased? The system is freaking awesome!'
Jason held onto the wolf's mouth and he fought through the pain as he planted his feet! Jason then raised the wolf over his head before slamming it down on the ground!
Boom!
The wolf tried to get up, but Jason didn't let up on his attack! He immediately got on top of the wolf and roared as he drove his knife deep into its other eye!
Squelch!
The wolf whined as it felt intense pain tear through its brain, and Jason pressed his weight into the wolf and leaned forward on its mouth to prevent it from making any noise and alerting the other wolves! Jason made sure to keep it steady as he felt its heartbeat slowly dying out. It felt strange to experience the death of a creature, but Jason didn't allow that to stop him from doing what he had to do!
The wolf started all this when it tried to kill him. It was the law of nature that you should be ready to die if you are ready to kill!
Finally, after a long time, Jason stopped feeling a heartbeat under his body and he felt a laugh escape his mouth as a new tab appeared in front of him.

Jason read through everything quickly. There were bushes surrounding him and the dead wolf, so he was sure no other creatures in the forest would see him, and he was trying to calm himself after the fight he just won.
He received a lot of rewards just for killing one beast, but he didn't really know what to do with them. What the hell were Kill Points? What could he use them for? These thoughts ran through Jason's mind quickly, and the system immediately brought up another tab.
[Will the User like to read through the [System Glossary]? Yes/No]
Jason immediately raised his head slightly to make sure that there were no other beasts around before he chose yes and watched the system create an entire list of explanations.
