His skills were too weak. No, saying he had no skills, to begin with, and saying he was useless was the best statement for him. He was useless in this time and period given his experience and the time he spent in this world.
The outsider world was dangerous for him to venture around. But getting some true life-war experiences was also important.There were still 23 hours left before the end of the first mission.And the rewards, his system reward page was all blank, not a single digit of points was there for him to spend on anything to acquire any new skill.Currently, he saw a big cave in front of him.He was walking for the last fifteen minutes and only they found this place. The mouth of the cave was big and there seemed to be no one around.It took him quite some time to find this place, he took the risk to save his own life was important. This place was located on stipend hill...It rained, and the sound around the cave was all watery and wet...He gulped his saliva and took a step inside. Even though he was unarmed and only had Dagger on his body at the moment.There were big fat chances that something useful and golden skilled could be found on the bag packs he just raided from the dead people earlier.He walked inside the cave, the layout of the cave was too simple at the start as he continued to walk. But then...the cave started to broaden the more the walks inside and apparently, many twists and turns could be seen inside...And what was more strange was, the cave was getting brighter and bright as if it was the home of some creature...Alex felt the pain in his head due to the sudden exposure to so much light as his eyes were blinded a bit. But he soon recovered from it and walked further inside...Not knowing which route to take...he stopped at some point." There are many routes inside and the layout inside is getting more and more relaxed, what's with this cave? ", He asked himself a question as it was a concerning matter to him.No cave or hideous place could be this brighter and able to give off a positive feeling, so what's this sudden change the more he walks deep inside the cave?" Can I...should I just leave? ", He asked himself again as his heart was feeling quite strange.Just when he was about to take some serious measurements, the system notice appeared in front of his eyes." Name: Sunray Cave..."." Use: A perfect hideout, can let the creature stay at peace "." Can make the player complete the task successfully: Uncertain ".This information was the only information that the system was able to collect. But it gave Alec a sense of security to know that this place was not as dangerous as he thought since the system itself was giving the information out." Hey, system! can I ask you something ".Alec was certain that his system was different from others. After all, he logged into the game as both the player character and the developer.So he was wondering if his system was different from everyone's as he even had a rare skill that no one might know." Hey! I can sense that you can understand me...just come out already ".He shouted knowing how sneaky his system was. The system was giving him hints again and again so it was weird to not think the system has its mind.No matter how many times Alex calls out from the sneaky AI system but it gives him no hint of its existence." Guess I should only think about myself ".He ruffled his hair as if it was a waste of time to call out a dead person who already existed from this world.He wanted to leave.But how...There were so many routes in front of him, and all were giving him a strange feeling.He then picked up a small stone from the ground which was different and unique from all stones, closed his eyes, and threw the stone on the ground as he circled for a bit." I will choose the way that the stone decides for me ", He murmured and then opened his eyes slowly.He looked around and found the stone laying in the third cave hole." Then it is ", He picked up the red stone and moved ahead inside the sub cave which the stone chose for him.While walking inside, his eyes were always wandering around, looking for his surroundings, so that he would not get attacked by any stranger behind his back.And...he was simply amused by the structure of the cave and everything inside.Strangely speaking, he was not the one who was in charge to create and build caves and secret paths inside the game, so he was a little unfamiliar as not all the preparations were done in front of his eyes." Simply speaking, creating caves and secret caves was assigned to Suli ".He remembered that Suli was the one who was responsible for the cave's structure and design.As expected, the girl in his team was bright in personality and a mood changer, how can he expect her to make something horrible and scary?He just simply chuckled and started walking inside.He walked inside for like ten minutes and then stopped when he realised he was far enough from the war going on outside and stop.The cave was simply not just a cave as it was very beautiful from the inside, even the structure of the hiding places inside was amazing. Despite being the cave, it was no less than any luxurious heaven cave...had many stones inside which were enough to hide anyone and even the risk was not that much.He eventually stopped and sat down. Only now it was that he remembered to take a full breath and relax.He had seen so much today only after entering for less than an hour and didn't know what was still there to come to him." I have to prepare myself well ", Said he as he took off all three bags from his back and paced in front of him.He rubbed his hands together as if he was getting ready to raid something interesting. " Let's see what I have acquired ".the first bag was useless since he had already checked and searched before but found nothing important.He grabbed the second one, the bag had only two chains and cabins. No small pocket was attacked, he unzipped the bitter one and threw his hand inside to see what was there for him inside." Ohh! what's this ", He grabbed something and took it out.It was something that had two soft wires and a pin at the end, not to mention the wire became one once it reached the end.[ An Item acquire ][ Name: Earplugs...][ Use: Can be used to listen to music, only after plugging in the device. ][ Rarity: Can be purchased in the mobile store. ][ Type: XX brand ][ Can help to complete the task: No ]Alex was simply baffled and confused. " What is this modern stuff doing in this world? ". It was out of his mind that strange things were happening in this world.The world he created, shouldn't have this modern stuff like cellphones and Earplugs. But if Earplugs...then there would be other advanced stuff as well.Allen was responsible for many things when they were still at the earlier stage but they decided to work with each other to not let anything cross.Just like Earplugs, he found many things in the bags like juice cans which were emptied, food wrappers...He reached out his hand in the bag again and this time, all his hand grabbed was some papers and tissues.[ " New Item acquire....][ Name: Food wrappers...][ Use: Hold the food safely, can also be used in wiping hands when stained with food...][ Rarity: Can be found anywhere ][ Type: Made of paper ][ Can take out of the dungeon safely: No ]Just like that, all he got from those bags were only useless stuff and nothing could be used in battles. His hopes were crushed hardly that it was almost impossible to get his hope up again." Seriously, even after taking all the stuff from them, I didn't find anything edible ".Yes, his biggest concern...food.He was going to get hungry soon but all he got inside the bags were only empty snack wrappers and empty water bottles.But then....having something was better than nothing. He had to learn to be grateful for everything he had.Even though the food was a problem. He has a small Dagger on him and that mini gun which was enough to kill at least two people.He was disappointed to not find anything extra useful. But was blessed as well to get many scraps which could help him greatly in the future.He was looking around the cave when some footsteps started to grow in his direction..." Don't tell me it's the enemies again ", Alex just had a moment of pleasure and relaxation but even it was seeming to go away from him, unfortunately. Or maybe he was blessed in some hidden ways?[ Warning: People are detected in the cave and they are currently heading in this way. You need to hide, host ] As expected, the system notified him again." Hey! since you gave me this warning, Is it possible that other players are the same and can detect the presence of other people? ". Alex asked. He probably knew that his virtual system would not give him an answer. But despite all that...he still asked the question. And as expected, it was silent.It was hard to digest that everything around him was normal. But who would have expected that,[ This ability is given to you only as you are the only player who can detect and correct the glitches, please be mindful of your behavior ]The soft voice talk
Alex's body turned cold, his eyes were trying to hide away from the person who just killed three people without any difficulty in just some seconds." I...I thought I was trying to help a poor soul, how come he became a dangerous hunter instead? ", Were Alex's exact thoughts at this moment. He wanted to stay hidden, hidden from that hunter who had just mercilessly killed someone.Despite being the cruel world, which was no other than virtual reality, it was hard for Alex to believe in such a cruel method. He slid down on the ground once he realized what situation he was in, his body gave in, and there was no way he was not scared of that victim person.His body was shaking heavily, unable to think about something else.While that victim just wiped the blood from his cheeks with bare hands, he looked the way where Alex was hiding. And a vile smile appeared on his face.No matter how blurred the scenery was, there was no way he couldn't detect the bullet which was shot from the direct
" Then...you must be stuck inside no? ", Alex just casually asked, everyone might be scared and restless for many months and days, knowing they can't get out of this place. Mike was stunned to hear that question." Why do you think I am stuck here? ", Asked Mike curiously as he could see something on his face. He could see Guilt written all over Alex's face for some reason as if his disappearance had something to do with Alex. No, it can't be right. The person who himself was stuck here, how can he have something to do with this matter? Maybe it was just an illusion. That's what Mike thought.Alex was speechless, most importantly...he had no answer to give Mike, and the truth can't be told under any circumstances. Yeah, he was guilty in some aspect but he never expected his virtual game to turn out like this." I don't know...I just thought ", Alex twisted the whole question to his liking again." Hmm! let's see what we got here from these people ", Said Mike as he looked at the stu
However, Mike had a special ability and it was a nightmare as well as a blessing for him. Before they could even start the important conversation that Alex meant to ask for a while now.He felt something different inside the cave." Hey Mike, did you feel it? just now ", Alex couldn't point out what it was actually, but he felt terrified for some reason.Mike looked at him as if everything was normal and he sensed nothing.Alex couldn't bring himself to say that since he thought it was a fault from his side and didn't say anything ahead." Is something wrong? ", Asked Mike while his brows knitted when he saw the mixed emotions on his face.Alex just shook his head as if nothing was wrong and denied the fact.They stay for some more time as Alex's eyes fall on the manual which was laying on the ground. Seemed like even Mike didn't touch it for some reason." What is this piece of paper? ", Said Alex as he touched that piece of paper which was a manual." Don't know...but something us
The cave was strangely becoming more and more unfamiliar even though it was already very unfamiliar from the start." Am I forgetting something? ", Alex thought to himself since he seemed to forget something very important." Hey Mike, why is this place giving me more and more gore feeling? ", He asked Mike even though this place was already goring enough to be called scary and extra scary. Mike ignored his silly question.His expressions were not showing anything, he was normal even in that situation, it was most likely him.And how could he even show any special reaction or expression when he was living here for many months and probably had seen everything, nothing was amusing him.It was understandable if that was the case.It was a lot dark in the cave and only a few things could be seen in that lighting effect.The cold was getting more and more efficient though.The layout of the cave was simple, it had a spectacular pattern on the upside, and the cave was built in stones and s
Soon, as they walked deep inside, the bones of the human and animal in separate forms started to appear more frequently and the frequency of the distance started to get shorter and shorter.It was a view that no human being with a soft heart would want to see...Alex and Mike however were acting more courageously and started to walk inside.Then, at one point...Some noises started to come from far inside. It was the destination where they were heading but some weird voices were echoing from deep inside...Alex touched his ear..." Mike, did you hear that noise? ".Mike was not deaf and could even hear it more clearly than Alex." Ahhhh....help...help....".The voices were not deep and too shallow, but not on the fading side, the one who would walk deep inside was clearly to hear those voices." It's...it's a voice of humans, they...they are asking for help ", Alex was shocked for a moment as to why there were people inside and why they were screaming for help.They both hurry up insid
The thick and stretchy wire was in his hands now. And his only thought was to free everyone from the cage before anyone approached them with ill intent. " You sure you can do it? ".Mike was a little afraid because the lock was not something anyone can just break...it was heavy as well as came with high security.Alex just nodded his head, he knew what he was going to do.the people trapped inside had many hopes in their eyes when seeing how enthusiastic the young man was.The wire was thick, the perfect proportion, and a little thin compared to the lock keyhole.Alex then put the wire inside the lock hole and pushed the wire inside.There was something he didn't mention before.since his family was always demanding and controlling, they tended to lock him in the room as he was free-spirited.Alex himself couldn't stay inside, so head learn the art of breaking locks.Let it be digital locks or traditional locks, there was no way he would fail on solving and unlocking the lock. The w
His eyes shut hard, the stench coming from the green monster's mouth was so horrible that he couldn't think about anything.The frail body was trembling already...from the thought that he was going to chew soon." I...I am gone. What should I do ".He thought to himself as he was terrified already.But then he saw something in his hand. He realized...he had a knife in his hand. How did he forget about that? Thought nothing about the situation as he already knew he was going to enter that dangerous mouth soon and be chewed out into small pieces, but whatever was going to happen...That was still a future and the presenter should try his best if he didn't want to regret it. Alex raised the knife and stabbed his hand with all his might and forced the knife in as deep as he could go.The knife entered the soft muscle around the thumb area.It took him so long to only stab him as his skin was too hard." Huu....".He was tired only by this much, His HP was too low...The green monster di
" You said you are okay. But I can't see the slightest relief on your forehead. You are not okay at all ", Said Charlie looking at the big black blue patch on his abdomen and stomach.She was not happy at all." What has happened has happened already, there's no regret. Plus...look at that monster. He is dead and has disappeared already ", Alex was trying to deny her facts. " Are you for real? quit joking around. From the moment I found you, I never saw you in good health. Every time your injuries set on the phase to heal, something bad happens. And everything is because of me and my people ".Charlie was not joking when she said everything bad was happening because of her and her tribe." Don't blame yourself. It's not because of you or anyone from the tribe ".Alex knew clearly that nothing was due to them. He was happy to have them all with him on this journey. Even though they are going to separate someday, he wants to stay with them until then and learn some skills from them.,
He was not able to heal from his previous injuries and a new injury piled up on it once again.Now that Alex thinks, he was going through unlucky events from the moment he entered the game.Charlie was inside the bushes and when she saw all this, she came to the rescue. She no longer cares what he will say or think about her. Even if he wants to scold her now, she will listen to his scolding but it was important to aid him in a situation like this.When the creature saw its prey laying dead on the ground, it took no time to extend its neck and head to devour him.Alex hurt his stomach and was trying to get up but then saw the creature coming to him at a quick speed.He had not much time and he slid backward immediately, the creature bumped its head on the ground and was now furious." Why do I have to get injured at such a point? If I don't do anything now, I will be dead soon and I might not be able to get out of here ", Thought Alex in his mind as he started to think about the solu
Alex looked at her when she said she was feeling useless for not knowing about this world.Alex feel her because he was the same. Except for him, everyone in this world has aged, he was the only one who entered inside late and has remained a newcomer." You will get many chances to know this world from a deep perspective. Don't feel useless, in a way...I am the same as you ", Alex giggled as he said l.Of course, he doesn't want Charlie to feel useless.Charlie felt light-hearted after talking to him and seeing his positive reaction, she was glad that he was not making fun of her and it's most important.After a while, they finally reach the place where they were resting sometime ago. And right now, there was a huge creature standing there and inspecting the whole area.Since it was dark, they could not see how the creature look but Alex knew the appearance since he had seen it in the CCTV footage." Rosy, help me with my eyes. Install night vision for me ", Alex order his Ai.( Comma
Just this evening, he was ready to splatter blood around for her sake. But look at him now, he was escaping and not looking at the situation...But he was right in his way. There are so many people with him, it's hard to escape them. But fighting the gigantic creature when he has so many people, it's dangerous.So many people have lost their lives before, and he doesn't want to see the same scene once again, he cannot bear to see the blood flowing from his people.He guided them to escape and hide them in a safe place.They all were looking at him." Why are you looking at me like that? ", Alex asked when he notice them looking at him." You might not know, but you have changed ", Said Charlie as she gathered up enough courage." I am the same as before ", Alex denied the whole statement as he looked at them all.Right now, they were hiding between a rock crack. It was a rock cave, a small space. Usually, in a place like this, wild animals reside in a warm place. But this small cave
Eventually, everyone has their share of difficulties in their life. Everyone was talking about their hardships and had an upsetting matter. Whereas Alex was only listening to them." How nice it would have been if I was to see my daughter one last time, give her my eyesight and then disappear. I don't know what happened to her after I disappeared ".The father of the child wishes to give her daughter something before he disappears. Unfortunately, it was not a choice at all." Alex, talk about yourself. You are sitting there all alone and silent, we want to know about you ".One of the tribe's men included him in the conversation.AleAlexinkles several times and then comes back to his senses and looks at them." There's nothing to talk about me. Why don't you go ahead without me, I am listening to you all ".Alex refused to enter the chat with them. He didn't want to expose himself. Yes...yes, indeed, he doesn't care if people know about him but still...he wants to stay silent and mak
" Of course, I want to learn your fighting technique. I admit that I have only seen a glimpse of it, but I am interested in learning ".Said, Alex.Even though what he was saying right now may look like an exaggeration of everything, he was genuine about the learning point.Alex had realized long ago, how weak he is. And if he wants to complete the task, he needs to have some tricks up his sleeves, and protecting himself must be his top priority in this new world." You are way too sure about learning our traditional martial art technique ".They all muttered in their heart but they were glad as well that there was this someone who was impressed by their fighting and wanted to learn it." So...are you going to teach me? ", He asked slowly.Don't want to get rejected by them. Or else it was going to be way too embarrassing." Alright, since you want to learn our traditional fighting technique, we will teach you ".They all said to him and Alex was confused about who was going to teach
( Dear Host, please select the update package. Accept.....Reject )The options pop up before him on the screen. He could see everything but it was another case for people around him.After all, they had no system and Alex was the only person with it among them, so it was quite a proud thing but he was not arrogant about it.With just a single touch, he accepted the upgrade system. But then...another option pops before him.( Dear host, please agree to our terms and conditions before you start updating the system. And...please make sure you debit all your account balance, after all, it's the main key for the update of your main system )His system was being way too chatty right now and he hated it. Because...his hard-earned points and Gems were going away from him." Is it important for you to do it? can't you update the system on your own and not ask me to pay for you? It's my hard-earned money, I don't have the heart to give it away ", Said Charlie in his mind when talking to Mona.F
" Where are you lost? ", Charlie asked." Ahh! I was thinking about the solution ", Sid Alex as he changed the topic." So, did you find the solution? ", Asked Charlie.Hearing her question, Alex smiled and..., " Tada! ".He pulled out the water bottle from behind.Charlie was stunned to see that bottle coming out from who knows where. " You...where did you get this strange-looking thing? ".Charlie had no idea what that thing was in his hand, she had never seen an object like this.Alex blinks several times and even glances at the bottle in his hand and then looks at her in the end." It's a product from this time. It's called a water bottle and let me tell you, it may look small and give you the idea that it won't be able to contain much water. But believe me, it contains more than what you think ".Said Alex as he was trying to convince her that size does not matter, and it was a different matter that he doesn't believe in that saying either.He had not tried the product yet but wa
Alex did nothing rather than get out of the water, but the system provided him with a sneaky task and then a reward.It was quite doubtful to him.( Why are you making that face? are you not happy to earn some reward? )Mona was a system and there was no doubt about that, but Alex was getting doubtful vibes from it since she was way too accurate and knew what he was thinking and what his expression was at the moment." Tsk! Don't ask me about points and Gems, who won't like earning extra points? But my question is, can't you inform me if there's anything you are about to do?. Your notifications and everything are always late. It's like a situation, where I am going to die and you know the answer, but you don't give me the solution on time but after I lost my life that you inform me ", Alex was feeling kinda left out since his system was way too slow when giving out the important notifications.( Host, don't blame me for your laziness. If you want me to work properly and as quickly as
