A World on Endless System

Chapter 12: First Danger Feeling & A Strange Place

[MISSION ACTIVATION COMPLETED]

[LOADING TO PROCESS PLAYER DATA]

[10%... 19%... 27%... 37%... 59%... 77%... 89%... 100%...]

[LOADING COMPLETE!]

[CONGRATULATIONS, YOU'RE OFFICIALLY A SYSTEM PLAYER! FROM NOW, YOU WILL START LEVEL ONE AND TAKE CARE OF EVERY MISSION GIVEN]

[TOUCH TO VIEW YOUR LEVEL AND MISSIONS]

Narukha just opened her eyes after being closed for almost two hours. On his head there is still a semicircular shell-shaped object and it covers all parts of his head.

Now Narukha tried to digest for a moment the blue screen in front of her face. There is a biodata and a photo of him that appears to welcome the view.

Feeling curious, Narukha opened the 'Level and Mission Information' option.

Then the system's blue screen changed to display level information.

[LEVEL: 1]

[Haven't done any work yet]

[This level is beginner level. You need to start finishing every mission to level up your level]

[ACHIEVEMENT POINT: 0 POINT]

Then in the very bottom right corner there is an option 'see mission options'.

After Narukha pressed the 'view mission options' option, the blue screen changed to display ten cities. There is capital-sized writing into the title: LEVEL ONE MISSIONS.

"Why are there ten boxes?" asked Narukha in a muttering voice.

Only one box is open, while the other nine boxes are gray with a padlock logo. Narukha knew right away that all those boxes meant they were locked.

Narukha opened one of the unlocked boxes. When it opens, there is a warning display.

[(!) Warning! Players will earn points and collect the total number of those points to unlock the next level (!)]

[Each point collected can also be exchanged to increase each player's skill EXP]

After tapping once on the alert box, Narukha then watched as the warning sign changed to the mission view.

[YOU GOT A NEW MAIN QUEST!]

[Tap to Open It!]

Narukha pressed the screen once. Along with changing the look, the thing on Narukha's head moved automatically. As if freeing him from the dizziness that was so strong in his head since the beginning of the mission activation process.

Narukha let out a sigh of relief. It was a relief because the handcuffs holding both his hands and feet fell off in unison. But Narukha's body went limp and leaned her back against the back of the dental bench.

"Gosh, why is it so tiring..." Narukha muttered as she caught her breath.

[NEW MAIN QUEST!]

[Players must arrive at the gathering point to pick fruit on Albizia Julibrissin plants]

[LOCATION: BARROR AREA]

[Time Required: 1 Hour, 59 Minutes, 59 Seconds]

[Time Remaining: Now!]

Then after the mission display on the blue screen appeared, Narukha heard the speaker echo.

[Player, you can start carrying out missions. Please exit via the West path]

A moment later, the sound of an aluminum door sliding could be heard. Narukha flinched and automatically sat up straight. He watched very seriously the aluminum door that opened slowly.

A sliver of light gradually became so bright that it was dazzling. Narukha's eyes suddenly narrowed for a few moments, before finally appearing a view like a wide green field.

Narukha frowned. 'The outside world?' he asked himself.

For some reason, Naruto's body moved to get up from the chair. With curiosity in his chest, Narukha then walked very slowly towards the aluminum door.

Wait. Why is there an outside world?

Is this some kind of simulation game? Or... is it really the outside world?

Narukha was really surprised. Not a single word came out of his mouth the entire time he walked past the border between the passage inside the building and the outside world.

'There's no way a game simulation could feel so real like this,' thought Narukha.

Narukha's eyes glanced around. The atmosphere he saw now was like a forest, but not all of the land was filled with trees. There are a number of fallen trees with messy stems. Or piles of tree trunks scattered everywhere.

The sky that Narukha saw now even looked like the real sky. Narukha felt an inner turmoil between feeling unreal and real.

Narukha looked back. The aluminum door that had been opened was now closed. Only the Dimensional Portal building remained... it looked like the back of the building.

"Narukha!" Someone's call came from the side.

At that time Narukha wasn't focused at all with the sound of someone calling her name. But on the other hand someone ran impatiently towards Narukha.

"Narukha!"

It was only after someone's hand tugged at his right shoulder that Narukha was taken aback. He turned his head, and, again found Cloe's figure giving him a smirk.

Narukha took a shaky breath.

"You," Narukha complained, averting her eyes.

Cloe wasn't offended by Narukha's reaction at all. From his right side emerged Latusha, who was breathing hard.

"You two got the mission already?" she asked.

Narukha glanced at Latusha lazily, then took another look at the sight of the outside world.

From a location that seemed to be this hill, Narukha could see a shabby and very destroyed building. The body of the building is only half left, as if it was cut by something very strong to the point of melting, so that the halves are uneven.

The distance of the building is about two kilometers from where Narukha stood.

"I didn't know that we would have such an easy mission." Cloe included a disdainful laugh at the end of her sentence.

For some reason Narukha felt otherwise. Since he had already faced Carl's cunning, it was impossible for them all to be given a mission just to get together and pick fruit.

Narukha, ignoring the two people he thought was crazy, then jogged. Intending to follow the other three players who had vaguely trotted past him.

"Narukha! Where are you going?" Cloe called out from behind.

'Damn it. I won't care about anyone but myself here,' said Narukha in his mind.

Ignoring Cloe and Latusha, Narukha caught up with the three players he had seen earlier. The longer he walked along the half-green, half-barren area, the more he descended the incline.

The incline is not too high.

It's just that, some points will result in slipping if you're not careful.

Cloe was heard screaming three times, and Narukha's feet almost misjudged a piece of fragile ground until a few pebbles plunged freely down.

Narukha was a bit shuddered. As he descended the incline, he arrived at a barren land area. But there are some abandoned buildings. Scattered iron, cars whose engines were damaged and completely destroyed, traces of burning, even tires that had been detached from the cars were also scattered.

He stopped, looked around with a dumbfounded face.

'This is... a former residential area?' thought Naruto.

Because he had lived in a poor settlement for years, it was as if Narukha could already guess that this settlement was formerly poor residents. At several points, there were a number of torn and collapsed tents, there were also tents that were still standing but half rotted.

"Actually where are we told to?" Cloe suddenly appeared from the side.

Narukha was shocked while her brain was processing the situation. Lazy to respond, Narukha shook her head and started jogging again away from Cloe and Latusha.

In the middle of running, Narukha was startled by a system blue screen that appeared in front of her face. Displays a warning sign.

[(!) Player, warning for the remaining time (!)]

[Time Remaining: 56 Minutes 17 Seconds]

Naruto frowned. Why does it feel so fast?!

"Hey, is the barren area over there?" Latusha's voice suddenly sounded.

Narukha followed Latusha's index finger. A few meters from where they were standing, past several abandoned buildings, Narukha saw the border between a residential area and an area with no buildings at all.

Also, three players turn left. I don't know what's there.

So, Narukha's instincts moved to follow. If three people are walking in the same direction, that's a sign of the right direction. Because for Narukha, uniting three different minds is very difficult. If the three players had the same thoughts, it was certain that their direction was right.

After all, there is nothing on the right side.

Narukha moved to continue running. Followed by three players without saying anything to Cloe or Latusha.

Passing several abandoned buildings on the right and left, a few meters away, Narukha saw a left turn. Many players gathered in an area with half-cut down tree trunks.

Then Narukha walked quickly towards the area. Gathering place.

“Hey, what exactly is going on here?!” One of the players looked irritated as he called out.

Narukha was confused. In this barren area there are absolutely no trees mentioned in the mission window.

Then, why are they gathered here?

"Are you sure this area is a gathering point for players?!" Another player speaks.

Together with Cloe and Latusha, Narukha just stood listening to the chatter of several players.

"I wasn't sure at first. However, after I circled around the area while counting the number of tree trunks, the total was seventy. There are all of us!"

"Hey! How do you know that the total number of players is seventy?!"

"I peeked at the data of the soldier accompanying me once!"

When everyone was talking one by one, Narukha was busy looking for the whereabouts of the Albizia Julibrissin tree. In what shape and how many pieces were taken, there is no information.

Then Narukha playfully pressed the tree area which was a few meters across. It was so shady that one could not see what gaps were in the area.

Then on the system blue screen appears information.

[INFORMATION]

[Location Name: Forest of Azbaranizia]

[Details: Full of poisonous plants, almost untouched by humans, hides a swamp where its waters flow to the Northern mountain river]

[Rumor: Becoming the abode of a group of arapaima]

'Arapaima?' Narukha thought.

Don't know why, Narukha's feel something danger.
