Chương 14: this world is a bit strange

- About 500 years ago, everyone who turned 18 got a strange mark on their hands. And from then on, people with the mark on their hands stopped growing old.

- People started using the mark on their hands to see how long they had left to live. When their life expectancy reached zero, for some inexplicable reason the whole body stopped working and the person died.

- With the mark on their hands, people could then enter a simulation-like dimension where they could play games.

- People can increase their lifespan through the games they play.

- Most of the games were elimination-type games with more than 100 players. When you came first in these games, the mark in your hand would turn into a sign indicating that you came first. If you manage to be first 100 times in such a game, the sign in your hand turns into the number one hundred.

- Also, when you are one of the one thousand people who have the most victories out of all living people, the sign changes to a different shape indicating that you are in the top one thousand.

- And the number of wins you have has an indisputable impact on your social status. I've seen some job advertisements that say that the employees they are looking for should have at least 5 or more wins.

This was the information I had about this world

And I also made another list, and this one was about me.

- I turned 18 years old yesterday, and last night mother threw a party to celebrate me turning eighteen. Luckily it was a family party and no one else was there so I didn't have to try too hard to pretend.

- After the birthday party, my body's mother called me into her room and said she had something important to tell me.

- I'm a little bit afraid to tell you but... she started by saying that she wanted me to play on the survival map for 100 people as much as I could in this month.

- Universities in this world generally admit people on the basis of their exams, but there were some unusual universities that admitted people only on the basis of their skills in the game of death. And some universities looked at both.

- In short, even though she didn't want to pressure me, she wanted me to take this month as much as I could. Because exactly one month after I turned 18, government officials would come to my house and look at the number of wins I had.

- Apparently, universities weren't dumb. Not everyone who graduated from high school turned 18 on the same day, so some of them had already been 18 for almost a year. The number of wins universities needed to admit students was exactly one month after they turned 18.

- So I did some research on the internet and found the most prestigious academy in the world. The only thing you need to join is the ability to kill, that is, an extraordinary number of victories. And I'm quite interested, to be honest. A university that consists of students who specialize in fighting and killing is definitely the dream of my dreams.

- Also, after the birthday party was over I told her that I'm 18 now and I'm going to behave in a more adult way. Of course, she didn't take it seriously but she didn't know that even if I don't imitate my body's old personality anymore she will gradually think that it's because I want to change.

- now I plan to enjoy my youth until I understand why I am in this world and what I can do here.

After completing my list, I looked at my list and smiled. Even though I said I would enjoy my youth, when I died in the previous world, I was already a young person. I am writing this because I am no longer wanted by the whole world and I will be able to rest for a while.

After lying on my little bed for a while, I decided it was time to slowly take a look at this so-called death game.

I raised my hand and looked at the mark on the back of my hand where two swords surrounded by leaves were stabbed into each other. Then I placed the index finger of my left hand on the mark on my right hand, as it was written on the internet, and said "Awakening" out loud.

Immediately, the scene in front of my eyes changed. I found myself in a black box of about 10 square meters, with no light source, but I could see around me.

[Welcome to the death games]

As I looked at the system screen that suddenly appeared in front of me, I remembered some information I saw on the internet. It turns out that my thoughts decide whether the text on the first screen I see during awakening will be a death game or a life game. If I prefer to say life game, it's the life game, if I prefer to say death game, it's the death game.

[ Congratulations, by logging into the death game for the first time, you have won a personal space random item set draw ]

[ Would you like to use your draw right?]

"Of course."

[ Congratulations on using your personal space random item set drawing right to win an ordinary bed set ]

And all of a sudden I heard a noise behind me and I turned around. I saw a bed as plain and white as a bed in a mental hospital standing in the corner of my room.

[ You will be awakened in 10 seconds, please get ready ]

[ 9 ]

[ 8 ]

Knowing that there was nothing I could do as the countdown in front of me dwindled, I approached the bed behind me and pressed my hand on the foam to check if it was usable.

It was nothing more than an ordinary mattress, if not very comfortable or orthopaedic. And there was no strange odor. I think this bed will be fine for me if I want to sleep.

[ 0 ]

And the scene in front of my eyes changed once again.

This time I found myself inside a huge library, with millions of books, all identical to each other, scattered around.

[ Please select an ability ]
