Prologue
My name is Jack. I am 15 years old. I am an orphan. I grew up with a bunch of monks on a mountain, but I left due to clashing ideals. I am currently in class during brake period, and as always, I am sitting in the back of the class all alone with nothing but my hobby to keep me company, observing people. I watch my class mates talk endlessly about stuff, like how great their date went last night, the new show that aired over the weekend, or what their plans are for the break.
skill obtained
'What the fuck.'
reward for being the first person to obtain a skill calculating.... Title obtained (skill whore)
"..."
"..."
"WHAT THE FUCK."
Everyone looks at me.
'Oh shit I said that out loud.'
"..."
"..."
"Excuse me."
I get up and go to the bathroom to get away from my class.
As I get up, I notice that everyone has a name and a 1 floating over their head.
'Odd'
When I get to the bathroom I see my own name and a 1 in the mirror.
'The 1 must mean level 1. Hmmm'
''
As I scream that one word in my head, a blue window pops up in the same way the previous two did.

After I close all the windows I start heading back to class.
'That was...odd'
When I get back to class everyone was back to talking amongst themselves again.
*ding-don*
That was the sound that break time was over and it was to move on our next subject, PE.
As we were heading to the changing room another announcement appeared in front of me and, by the way everyone reacted, the entire class.
You will now be transferred to the inside of a dungeon at random locations in 5:00
"What the hell!" (Unanimous)

Join Grey make his glorious way in Chronosseum, and uncover its truth! Also, he needs to answer that question too! Note: The story heavily relies on the characters' thought processes, characters' interactions with its dramas, mystery, and back-stories aspects, so expect the slice of life thingy. As for now, I can't say this is an action-packed story, but slowly, it will be for sure. Also, I'm planning not too heavily focused on the MC, as you'll see the story told from various perspectives. Tags and content warnings are checked for the sake of my creativity in the future, it might or might not be included. This is my first novel, and also, English is not my native language, I beg your mercy. But I am open to any feedback and constructive criticism, so let's make the story more enjoyable to read! Chronosseum is scheduled to release one chapter every three days (for now).

Saving Grace
"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either. I hesitated and he noticed. "Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance." "I don't see a gentleman anywhere." He chuckled, stepping closer and tucking his thumbs into his tight jean pockets. He looked like every woman's dream--dark jeans that hugged him sinfully, golden-tanned skin contrasted by his white-fitted shirt, a black, wide-brimmed cowboy hat, and a smile that could send any woman on her knees. Not to mention a voice that coated your skin like silk sheets. I hated how much I noticed."You're right, but I would like the honor anyway... ma'am." *********************Meet Grace--living the city life, reserved, eager to please, loyal to a fault.
