Coven secret treasure deposit

"What?"

Words can't describe what Crocus is feeling to the small beast in front of him. His heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, it didn't, as his instinct kicked in at that moment.

[ Attack missed, you luckily evaded the attack by instinct. ]

'So, this is a game.'

Crocus thought as put his finger on his chin, thinking.

'Even the way I evaded has this kind notification to notify me.

'Wait.

'Aren't I transported to a place I have no idea of? Now, here... I have transported again...'

His eyes 

[ Kyomo used Poison bullet. ]

Kyomo's action caught by Crocus's eyes.

[ Attack missed. You evaded the attack by remembering your instinct. ]

'The hell! This is real life. I need to run away as fast as possible. I don't have any experience in fighting in real life, even if it looked like a game I won't. 

'I'm not customized like my game characters! What the hell!... Run! Run! Run!... F*ck this beast, sorry to disturb you. Okay? Let me go away now. We're good, right?'

[ Kyomo used Poison bullet. ]

One thing he forgot, Crocus was thinking so much while in danger.

'Oh, hell!'

Peng!

Crocus's arm was hit. A second later, it swelled.

'Arrghhh!!

'Pain!

'No shit, this is real!'

With all his might, Crocus ran away from this small but terrible beast! His instincts as a normal human, his instinct is telling him only to run! Getaway as far as possible! You will die!

A notification appeared on his head once again.

[Level 0

[HP: 070 (-1S)/100

[S: Poisoned.

[SP: 04/10 

[Allocate SP too...

[?]]

Crocus was trembling from the experience earlier, now seeing this... He couldn't help but feel fear.

'No shit, I've been poisoned... What the? How do I heal this?'

[ HP: 067 (-1S)/100 ]

'No, No, it's going down...

'How do I heal this?'

Crocus couldn't do anything. Every time he walked, he noticed that his health would go down with painful muscle spasms in every part of the body.

'Shit, I'm getting numb, but I can still walk properly like I am in a game. I am poisoned. Should I go back?

'No...

'That small beast is too strong for me. I would be hurt more in every situation. Plus, If I have a chance... No! Even If I have the chance... I'll never go there unprepared. Plus, I'm going to die because of poison, no sh*t. I don't want to die.'

Crocus is still in disbelief. 

'This is crazy. I woke up to an unknown place that is like earth, then I passed out and woke up again to this game's dimensional place. How did this happen?

'Am I...

'Am...

'Am I under someone's genjutsu or an illusionary world?... But I didn't look into someone's eyes...

'Damn! It's painful, and it's forcing me not to move or I'll die faster.'

Soon, Crocus did every single thing, anything he could: sucking the poison out in the wound, cutting the veins to stop it from spreading, using sharp stones in the dark area, etc. Until his Health Points declined and his eyes shut down.

...

Planet Earthoran.

In the hallway of the school, near the cashier.

Crocus felt groggy while awake with no energy in his body, and he felt like he was being carried by many people. Holding his two hands and two feet, like a doll.

"Be careful, don't drop him." 

"Get out of the way students, get out!" 

A faint voice resounded in his ears. He didn't have the energy to find out if it was a woman or a man.

All of the sudden...

Pak!

Crocus felt a sudden pain in his back on the left side.

'Arrrghh!'

'Damn it, what was that...'

Crocus feels he is going to go to dreamland again.

"HEEYYY!!! I told you to carry him on your back! His Blood pressure is so low, and it's below 70 percent that's why he fainted. His body is frail. Don't you four ever drop him again or I will skewer all your bodies!"

These words spoken were the last thing he heard.

...

Game Dimension.

[ Welcome to the old Coven's secret treasure deposit (Coven Cemetery). Beware of its guardians. ]

Again, a notification appeared on Crocus's head. Looking at the dark cave with four holes as big as a combination of seven doors, Crocus became even more confused about what was going on.

"Are you serious!? Are you kidding me!? Is someone playing with me?"

Crocus held his head to avoid the dizziness and began analyzing what was going on.

"Hmm...

"First time I experienced this kind of situation was when I woke up to a place similar to earth where I still have no idea where in the future or past Am I. But I died before even realizing what killed me.

"Second time, I passed out in school in the strange place I woke up to. 

"Now, I am being carried to some random place because I passed out due to low blood pressure and not eating earlier."

Crocus strokes his chin and keeps trying to figure out what is happening according to his understanding.

"Hmm...

"Does it mean that I woke up in this strange new earth-like world and now every time I lose consciousness in this new earth-like world I would go to another strange game world-like places?"

[ Please choose a hole to enter before the Mighty blood herring since you. ]

'I'm still in the Coven Cemetery, where the school is. Wait, didn't I have a phone? I came here to this school to find the Library and find the information to know this world. 

'I should use that thing tonight even if it's not mine.'

All of the sudden, while he was staring at the cave and thinking of other possibilities, the ground shook...

Bam

Bam...

[ Warning: Mighty Blood Herring noticed you. There's no escape. Run for your life! ]

'Huh?

'It's here.'

Crocus can feel the huge treasure coming closer. He knows he needs to choose and run before whatever thing reaches him.

'I'll choose this cave, whatever it is...'

[ Entered the coin path. Get treasures and beware of the rolling debris. ]

Crocus saw another notification on his head. However, he is used to this.

'Coin cave? Treasures? Where? Well... Let me see.'

Crocus ran at a faster pace to find treasures, but because of this, he felt the trembling of the ground even faster.

[ The mighty herring heard your spirit. It was now in a dive mode where he would want to squash you more. You only have a short amount of time to survive (120 seconds) and take as many treasures as you can. Good Luck! ]

'No sh*t! It's going faster and faster! I'll die again and there's no escape?'

Crocus felt the cold wind from the cave washing against him. It was so pure he couldn't believe it. Seeing there is a shiny thing on the cave wall that keeps passing him, he couldn't help but be curious about it. 

'Hmm...?'

However, he didn't want to stop because the only thing that keeps him moving was the rumbling behind him. 

'Another one?'

Crocus is sure that those shiny, tiny things have something, but he mistakenly ignored the three of them.

'Are those the things I need to take? What should I do? Grab it? Or place my palm on it.'

The shake is the sound of some kind of giant thing at his back following him, making him feel he needed to ignore those in the walls.

[ You only have 120 seconds to survive. ]

'I still can't find any treasures. Maybe it's really inside those things. I need to at least stop and try to put my palm to it. If it doesn't work, I will dig those using my hands even if it kills me!'

Realizing that the treasures were on those walls, Crocus finally stopped running and places his palm on those shiny things on the wall.

[ Found treasure: Coin Conjurer ]

Seeing this, Crocus made a victory fist.

'Finally,'

However, his face fell when the description appeared.

[ Can make the user conjure powerful heavy coins made from Spiritual Power out of thin air. A three combat set technique, chapter 1/3 ]

'Sh*t it's useless. It doesn't matter, I'll take another one.'

Crocus said with burning desire. He knew sets like that are useless if it's not completed, so he is not hoping to complete them too.

Soon his eyes twinkled.

'Another one!'

[ Found treasure: Coin flicker ]

'Ah... another coin ability.'

Crocus said on his mind

'I hope it's a fighting ability.'

He continued with a hopeless look on his face.

[ Can make the user flicked five coins in a row using its conjured coins. It has penetrating power and ignores barriers. A three combat set technique, chapter 2/3 ]

After he got this notification, Crocus felt something inside him. It was a pleasure or contentment because the cave provided what he needed and wanted.

An attack ability.

'I hope I get the last piece of this.'

He said with a sigh of relief.

All of the sudden...

[ You have only 30 seconds before the Mighty herring comes ]

'I hope it's near.'

Crocus said.

Rumble!

Crocus had his heart pump due to the pressure.

'Oh no! It's near!'

He sprinted with all his might to get away as far as possible.

[ You have only 17 seconds before the Mighty herring comes ]

Sweat appeared on Crocus's forehead.

'Pls...

'Pls...

'Pls...

'The complete set!'

[ You have only 15 seconds before the Mighty herring comes ]

Crocus can see nothing, but he can sense something is close to him. 

All of the sudden, his eyes lit up in happiness.
