Chapter 1: A Confusing Start

<p>Time: Mid-Night <br/>Location: Unknown<br/><br/>In a forest lay a naked body, the body of a teenage boy. The boy had black hair and abnormal purple eyes. He stared at the sky with a confused gaze, almost like he wasn't really staring at the sky but at something else. <br/><br/>--Profile–<br/>[Name: ???]<br/>[Age: 15]<br/>[Soul Age: ???] <br/>[Level: 0] <br/>[EXP: 0/10]<br/>[HP: 10] <br/>[Strength: 10]<br/>[Dex: 10]<br/>[Vitality: 10]<br/>[Available SP: 0]<br/><br/>–Menu–<br/>[Profile]<br/>[Skills]<br/>[Lottery]<br/>[???]<br/>[???]<br/>[???]<br/><br/>Through his eyes, one could see two pitch black squares. Each had writing that one would be able to understand even if they knew no language.<br/><br/>Reaching his hand out to the square on the left the boy pressed on-<br/><br/>–Lottery–<br/>[You have: 5 Spins]<br/><br/>[x1 Spin]<br/>[x5 Spins]<br/>[x10 Spins]<br/>[x25 Spins]<br/>[x50 Spins]<br/>[x100 Spins]<br/><br/>The [x10 Spins], [x25 Spins], [x50 Spins], and [x100 Spins] were all grey alluding to their unavailability. <br/><br/>Mindlessly the boy pressed the [x5 Spins] option. <br/><br/>~Poof~<br/><br/>5 wheels poofed into existence as they spun through millions of option each.<br/><br/>~Ding!~<br/>~Ding!~<br/>~Ding!~<br/>~Ding!~<br/>~Ding!~<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"What?"<br/><br/>Breaking out of his stupor he got up and examined himself.<br/><br/>"Who? Why?"<br/><br/>He spoke at last, his voice sounded… new? Like a voice that had yet to be used? It had an odd effect on all who listened, thankfully that effect was limited to nearby insects. <br/><br/>"Name… what's my name?"<br/><br/>Looking around for someone else the boy stood up and wandered around. <br/><br/>As he walked about he suddenly stopped as another square popped up in front of him.<br/><br/>< Would you like to undergo a tutorial? ><br/><br/> <br/><br/>He stood staring for a second then his hand rose towards the option.<br/><br/>< 1) Physical contact with the system is not necessary you may interact with the system using only your mind ><br/>< Your profile will show a variety of things involving you, your body, and your soul ><br/>< You can use the lottery to try your luck and try to obtain really rare items ><br/>< Skills can be created, learned, or obtained via the lottery system ><br/>< All items gained from the lottery will be placed into your inventory ><br/>< Your inventory is currently limited to 100 slots gamble to increase into capacity ><br/>< Each inventory slot is 10 meters by 10 meters big ><br/>< Each inventory slot may only hold one thing ><br/>< &^*&#^*&^# ERROR ><br/>< *@&#^^%$ ERROR ><br/>< Your soul is unnamed? ><br/>< Please name your soul at your earliest convenience ><br/>< Level up to obtain SP(Stat Points) ><br/>< Use available SP to increase your stats(Strength etc) ><br/>< Increase your level by obtaining EXP ><br/>< Obtain EXP by doing *&#&^$ or by killing a living being ><br/>< The stronger the living being or the more difficult the #&^$&^ the more EXP you will receive ><br/>< You are a- #*&$*#&( ERROR ><br/>< (#*$(*$ ERROR ><br/>< #^$&#^# ERROR ><br/>< #*$(#@ ERROR ><br/>< )*(#*($*(* ERROR ><br/>< Closing "Tutorial" ><br/><br/>…<br/><br/>"Some 'Tutorial' that was huh."<br/><br/>The boy looked around his surroundings and just as he was going to step in one direction he spotted a ladybug on the ground roughly 1 meter away.<br/><br/>"I just have to kill a living being right?"<br/><br/>The boy gave a devilish smile as he released a strange aura from his very being. The aura spread throughout the surrounding area and all the insects that felt it froze. This unfortunately included the ladybug the boy had seen. As he approached the ladybug his smile grew bigger and once he arrived he raised his foot and squashed it with his foot.<br/><br/>< Killed a Lady Bug ><br/>< Received 1 EXP ><br/>< Killed first Insect type being ><br/>< Received 10 EXP ><br/>< First Mortal being killed ><br/>< Received 100 EXP ><br/><br/>The boy's smile instantly disappeared and in its place replaced a confused expression.<br/><br/>'Why was I so mad just now? No rather what was that?'<br/><br/>< Leveled up ><br/><br/>< Leveled up ><br/><br/>--Profile–<br/>[Name: ???]<br/>[Age: 15]<br/>[Soul Age: ???] <br/>[Level: 2] <br/>[EXP: 51/100]<br/>[HP: 10] <br/>[Strength: 10]<br/>[Dex: 10]<br/>[Vitality: 10]<br/>[Available SP: 10]<br/><br/>He stared at his profile for a second before ignoring it, this was not crucial at the moment his survival was.<br/><br/>–inventory–<br/>>basic survival knowledge handbook<br/>>A sweet candy <br/>>Random F rank skill token <br/><br/>As he walked the boy took out the survival knowledge handbook. Reading through the first few chapters about shelter he returned the book to his inventory and got to finding shelter.<br/><br/>He walked for what seemed like an endless infinity and eventually arrived at a more mountainous region. At this point, it was no longer night but instead the middle of the day.<br/><br/>The boy was sweating from every crevice of his being and now that he found some mountains he rejoiced. <br/><br/>His plan was to find a cave instead of making a shelter, easy right? Wrong!<br/><br/>It would take 6 hours to actually find a suitable empty cave. But when he did he collapsed on the floor.<br/><br/>His stomach ached and demanded food, alas shelter took priority.<br/><br/>Thankfully now he had shelter so he could look for food, but first!<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>–Skills–<br/>>Eat - Rank F<br/><br/>Looking at the series of notifications the boy smiled, this was just what he needed.<br/><br/>Hungrily crawling his way towards the exit of the cave where some plants grew, the boy grabbed several handfuls of the plants and started eating.<br/><br/>2 hours of eating later he felt much better.<br/><br/>Though he didn't gain much energy from just plants it was enough for him to hunt something.<br/><br/>Sitting down he started reading again this time chapter 2-3.<br/><br/>After finishing reading the guide the boy got up and headed into the trees.<br/><br/>It wouldn't take long before he came into contact with an animal in this case the animal was, a bear.<br/><br/>The bear growled and ran in his direction, panicking the boy turned to run only to feel immense pain on his back.<br/><br/>And then… nothing.<br/><br/>The world fades to black and the brain shuts off.</p>
