"Ok…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? Was my life a lie all along?\'

All sorts of questions entered his mind but he had no answer to any of them just then another small panel 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.

The new information in the panel made Jin furrow his brows. \'I don\'t know what\'s going on…but I\'ll go along with it…this might even be one of those vivid dreams people talk about,\'

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.

***Training***

1. The host can Summon a Shadow Dummy and use it to practice various melee assassination techniques. [SUMMON]

2. Once the host is in possession of a ranged weapon, he can use it for practice in the mental shooting range. [ENTER]

....

Jin gave it a read and found what he was reading a bit 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. "AHH!" 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?"

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 target 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.

"I feel like I\'m in a game. I hope this is not a one-time dream and I will be able to experience this again in the future… although the chances of that happening are unlikely," Jin said to himself as he 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 up and reached the 68% mark before going back to zero. Jin was all exhausted by now and immediately let go of the dummy and sat down on his buttocks to take a breather.

While he was panting for air the following words entered his vision: Chokehold (Proficiency: 2%)

"This is the first time I\'ve experienced a game-like dream and I can\'t get enough of it," Jin said with excitement as he moved his attention to the 2nd point of the \'Training\' ability. His finger soon 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 the next ability named \'Morph\'

RING~

"My Phone?" Jin furrowed his eyes as he moved his hand under his blanket a few times and finally found his phone. It was his colleague, Ken.

\'Now this seems too real to be a dream…\' With his heart beating a bit faster than normal 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… \'Isn\'t this all a dream…where do I need to do?\'

"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. He then pinched his arm with his other hand to remove the last inklings of doubt in his mind. He immediately grimaced in pain.

"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 station for his work.
