Capítulo 1: Prologue
[IN THIS a—GAME LIKE WORLD, The LESSONS & your SEMINARS(Tutorial) START FROM HERE!]
["LET'S GO 1. 2. 3..."]
"What is this…." I cursed as I found myself inside a dimly lit, unfamiliar structure, surrounded by mysterious patterns. The architecture was unlike anything I had ever seen in my previous world; it resembled a pyramid, though I had never been inside one before. Bewildered and unsure of how I got here, my mind struggled to recall my last memory—eating with my sister.
'What happened? What the F**k….'
My recollection brought me to an unexpected Kakaotalk message through my mail: -Do you want to join the GAME?- Assuming it was a friend's game invitation, I impulsively clicked without a damn second thought. That single action seemed to be the catalyst for my current predicament, but beyond that, my memories were a blur.
My legs trembled with unease as I tried to make sense of the situation. The atmosphere around me felt eerie, like something out of a horror movie, and soon, I heard other voices nearby.
"Hey, where the hell are we?"
"No idea. I've never seen this place before."
"Why and What the hell are these weapons? What's going on? "
"We're probably all in the same situation. Does anyone remember anything? "
"Hey! Is anyone there? Hey! Hey! Hey! "
The confusion and fear spread among us, but suddenly, a voice echoed in the confined space:
[ALL the Players are invited to this world. An invitation was sent, and you accepted. You've been chosen as a hero to overcome this dying Mainland(Continent)]
"My god! A hero?"
"Stop this nonsense and fucking reveal yourselves!"
"I'll call the cops if you don't let us out!"
"Is this some kind of joke? I'm filing a complaint!"
"I'm definitely going to sue you in court!"
[But not everyone here can go to the Mainland(Continent). Only those who pass the Seminars are eligible to go there.]
"What utter nonsense!"
[Listen carefully; your survival depends on it.]
The word "survival" snapped me back to attention in this strange situation.
[Only those who survive this Seminar will be allowed to go to the Mainland.]
"What… If we aren't making use of the words you are uttering, Are you going to chop us?"
[It's up to you. Your survival is at stake. This is not a dream. This is your reality, and I'm here to guide you through this.]
"Don't try to act over-smart with us! This can't be happening!"
"Please, let us out! We're begging you."
The woman's voice remained calm as she continued her explanation.
[Here We will start with our guide. 3...…2...…..1...….. This place is the starting point of this universe, a waiting room of sorts. Here, you'll find essential items such as water, food, and weapons that you'll use later. The weapons range from common to rare, heroic, and legendary, but the ones here are all inferior to common weapons.]
Several things caught my attention immediately. Instead of the usual plastic water bottle, there was an unusual leather one in the corner. That was just the beginning.
The most striking were the weapons, unfamiliar to me. Bows and arrows, swords and shields, spears and maces, all reminiscent of the Middle Ages. The sight of such a diverse array of weapons felt alien and surreal.
"These weapons are genuine," I thought to myself, realizing that they were not mere props. Most appeared worn and dull, but a few were remarkably sharp, adding a sense of realism to the situation.
[You can defend yourself with these weapons. The aim of this tutorial is to survive and fight. Alongside you, there will be monsters, the inhabitants of this continent. They will target you, and you'll have to combat them.]
It felt like something straight out of a fantasy novel. Curiously, the crowd's excitement dwindled, and I focused on the voice providing instructions.
Although I occasionally felt nauseous, everything seemed surprisingly real. [However, facing the monsters alone might prove difficult. But don't fret, for there's more in store for you.]
"What on earth is this?" I couldn't help but wonder.
[You are the chosen players, brought here from different places with distinct personalities. This place will amplify your traits and facilitate your growth. Say 'Show Details' to understand better.]
Being cautious in the unknown, I refrained from saying 'Show Details' right away.
Yet, right on cue, someone muttered it aloud. "Show Details."
"Show Details? What's that?" another person asked, bewildered.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" A woman screamed, astonished by the display in the air.
[The Show Details basically gives you information about your current leveling status situation. Your stats may fluctuate depending on your efforts. Now, your class: warrior, mage, priest, or archer. You can later specialize further—e.g., a warrior can become a barbarian, then advance to a berserker. Countless paths await, and your choice is pivotal.]
"Hm—--------------"
[Classes are classified as common, rare, heroic, or legendary. Keep in mind that mages and priests require an affinity for holy power or magic, and certain classes might be inaccessible. You'll choose a class through missions, hidden quests, or accumulating experience.]
'A class,' I pondered. It resembled a gaming system, with priests and wizards being less common.
If there were indeed monsters approaching, I assumed most people would avoid being warriors. Nobody would willingly fight on behalf of others.
Without hesitation, I uttered, "Show Details."
[Name: Kee Miyoung] [Title: None.] [Age: 23] [Disposition: Careful strategist] [Class: Nothing] [Stats] [Strength: 8] [Agility: 9] [Stamina: 9] [Intelligence: 20] [Endurance: 10] [Luck: 18] [Magic: Zero] [Equipment: Null]
The bouncy screen felt surreal, but it was real nonetheless. Then, the woman's voice returned.
[Lastly, your attributes. As you level up, you'll gain new attributes. They vary based on your personality, just like classes. The most crucial aspect is your personality. Attributes are also classified as common, rare, heroic, or legendary, with superior grades offering better performance.]
"Uh…."
[Attributes are obtained similarly to classes, and they significantly influence your growth. Choose wisely.]
Amid the explanation, my attention was diverted to the letters displayed at the bottom of the Show Details.
[Attribute: Heroic grade: Do you want to read it?]
'Huh?'
The words "Heroic grade" gleamed in purple, signifying an attribute that could be further developed based on one's personality.
"Okay."
Uncertain if it was real or not, I didn't know why I received this, but it was a promising start.
[Attribute] [Eyes' Check: Heroic] [Ability to view statuses of yourself and others and discern hidden talents.]
Receiving an attribute at the beginning seemed advantageous. The woman had emphasized survival as the goal.
'Survival.'
We had to make it through.
We absolutely had to survive.
No matter if this was a lie or not, I felt compelled to do whatever it took.
Thinking of my sister, Yulha, alone back home, I clenched my teeth.
The reactions around me were diverse.
Some were discussing their attributes, while others searched for weapons and shields.
Though I wanted to scream and sit down, there was no time for that.
'Talent?'
I wasn't entirely sure what it meant, but checking couldn't hurt.
It was already a significant achievement to have an attribute.
I found myself standing on a different starting line from the others.
Yet, I quickly dismissed any idea of becoming a hero from a fantasy novel.
[Check the talent levels of the player Kee Miyoung.]
[Name: Kee Miyoung]
[The player's attributes display a common (below average) growth potential across the board. Whether it's strength, agility, stamina, intelligence, endurance, luck, or magic, the potential for significant improvement is limited. It appears that substantial progress in these areas will be challenging for the player.]
[Summary: The player possesses the lowest talent levels, making it seem futile to put in much effort, as the prospects are generally bleak. Enhancing strength and magic power would be a formidable task. Nevertheless, intelligence and luck show promise, albeit uncertainty. The player's future raises concerns, and it appears inevitable that they won't need to wield a sword or attempt anything else..]
Though I held some hope, the results dashed my expectations.
The ultimate goal was to survive.
I never expected to be the main character, but this disappointing outcome left me disheartened.
"F**k OFF!."
