3 Chapter 2

[To check your status, please think of the word 'status', and we will provide you with the latest statistic of your condition] 

Staring quietly at the hovering texts in front of him, Zuyuan tried to assess the condition around him. The room's wall was covered with iron. And there were a lot of scattered, unrecognizable iron tools on the ground. Picking one of them, he saw that it was in the shape of a cross, but with some glowing blue lines all over it. 

Frowning, Zuyuan tried to caress every part of the thing, thinking that the thing would perhaps have some switch somewhere. After two minutes without results, he threw away the thing and started to walk around the room. The room itself was as big as any ordinary living room, but the room was giving out an image of a messy storage room at the same time. 

'Am I in the storage room?' mused Zuyuan as he crossed his arms. Finally, he looked into the text that was still floating right in front of his face. He sighed and said, "Status."

Looking at the rows of texts that now replaced the one from before, Zuyuan knitted his eyebrows as he finished reading them, 'This thing called 'status' is what you expect while playing RPG games. But this is reality, not a game, why would there be something like this? It feels unreal and fishy.' 

*BOOMMM*

An explosion could be heard from the outside of the room as the ground shook in tremors. Making a grim face, Zuyuan looked around for anything that resembled a weapon to defend himself. Finally, he took a long white steel rod with a hole at its tip, but even with that, the thing could be used as a spear with its pointed tip. 

[Main mission has appeared!] 

[Main mission: You are in the world of Revrolt, a world full of wonders that have once been the home for the advanced construct race, Byonite. Their home planet has been ravaged and invaded by foreign species from another planet. Even at the brink of extinction, Byonite could not forget revenge, they gathered all the last resources they had and created a massive weapon to create a micro black hole bomb. The Missionary will be tasked to go to the central room in the military building and activate the weapon.

Reward: Depends on how quick the Missionary finish the quest

Your time limit is 5 days

Warning: Inability to finish the quest in time will result in death punishment ] 

'Main mission?'

Surprised at the sudden blue text that appeared out of nowhere, Zuyuan read the context carefully.

'If what the words said is true, that means I'm in another world… 5 days deadline? Huh. Or I will be executed.' 

Assessing that his situation was like walking on thin ice, Zuyuan frowned and looked around the room, as he found something that seemed like a door. 

'Should I move on? But there's an explosion outside, isn't it?' Contemplating what he should do, Zuyuan decided it won't get him anywhere if he just stands there not even knowing the situation on the outside.

Walking through the door, Zuyuan saw some kind of switch on the wall. After switching it, the metal wall started to open revealing a vast scenery of a city mostly constructed with various metals. The place was like something out of a sci-fi movie, but except the familiar high towering metal buildings, the buildings have a different kind of design and structure. While most of them are square in design, a lot of them are in other weird shapes.

"So this is what another world looks like…" recovering from the initial surprise from the view, Zuyuan smiled and chuckled at his own situation. Stepping out of the room, Zuyuan started to explore the unknown city. All around the metal buildings, there is some kind of fleshy black vines, covering the entire metropolis.

No matter where, the vines are always circling and moving around the metallic buildings, just like some kind of gigantic worm that is all over the place. Walking for some time, trying to be as quiet as possible, Zuyuan heard a loud shriek. 

Zuyuan became more cautious as he approached the source of the noise. After two minutes, he found a group of five humanoid creatures with heads much larger than humans. Yellowish glow shone through their four eyes, and their body around 6 feet tall. 

With their arms and feet twice much longer than ordinary people, they clawed at each other. Biting and clawing, until only one of them was left standing. Huffing with greenish blood all over its body, the creature picked one of its former comrade's limbs and started to munch on it. The creature made some kind of high pitched shriek as it munched on the corpses around it with gusto. 

[Side mission appeared!] 

[Side mission: To give the Missionary a feeling of battle, along with evaluating the Missionary's combat power, the Missionary will be tasked to fight one of the Rograst. Rograst is the species that have come to invade Revrolt and has the tendencies of cannibalism. Defeat one of lowest Rograst in front of you to finish the mission. 

Reward: Lucky roulette 

Punishment upon failure: death] 

'Fighting that thing?' Frowning, Zuyuan took another glance at the Rograst. Somehow, without Zuyuan knowing it, the same Rograst's eyes were staring right at him from a distance. Letting out a howl, the Rograst rushed to him on all fours. 

'Sh*t…'
