Survival Game

Theo woke up and the first thing he saw was a blue sky with some dark clouds passing by, this shocked him and made him get up quickly because the last thing he remembered was working at his part-time job at a convenience store.

As soon as he got up and looked around, another shock came, he was in a clearing in an unfamiliar forest, and to make matters worse, he was lying in front of a mausoleum. When he wondered how he came to be in this place, a voice sounded in his mind.

[Welcome Players to the Survival Game]

[From now on, you have received instructions about the game, and your life depends on it, so pay attention.]

[All inhabitants of Earth have been brought into the game. Old people and small children will have a bonus and will be allocated with young or fighting-capable players.]

[The game consists of surviving various catastrophes that occur during certain periods, everyone received seven days of protection to be able to prepare. The first catastrophe will occur in 15 days. In this world, there are other races, beasts, and monsters that will attack you on sight.]

[Everyone will also receive a random military unit, groups will have to elect a leader, and he will be responsible for the military units. You will receive more details about the units once you summon the first unit.]

[By killing monsters and wild animals, as well as other humans and other beings of different races, rewards will be given. Alliances and agreements can be formed between players and between different races.]

[He who is the strongest will survive in the end and have the chance to become a God and obtain Eternal Life. So good luck to everyone.]

That was all the information the voice gave the players, Theo was in shock, he couldn't believe that he had actually been sent to another world. But soon reality crashed down on him in the form of a shield of golden light that covered the clearing where he stood.

Realizing that this was not a dream, but reality, Theo quickly turned towards the only building in sight in this clearing. The mausoleum. As he approached, a blue screen with information appeared in front of him.

[Military Building: Necropolis]

[Level 1]

[Can recruit 1 military unit per day. Available Units: Skeleton, Zombie, and Ghost. Extremely low chance of recruiting a high-level unit: Death Knight, Lich, Mutant Zombie, and others.]

[Requirements for the next Level: 100 Energy Stones.]

[The building is full of energy, would you like to recruit immediately?]

[Yes] [No]

Theo was happy and sad at the same time. Happy for Your military unit is an undead type that doesn't need food or rest, which would speed up your collection of resources to build whatever you need. And sad to be able to recruit only skeletons, zombies, and ghosts, which are all known as low-tier units.

Still, it was all he had, so he decided to recruit. After choosing the 'yes' option, he could see a faint glow in the mausoleum, and soon a skeleton soldier came out. This was his first warrior, and unsurprisingly, a low-level one, he was lucky to recruit a high-level one.

The skeleton arrived in front of him and knelt down, awaiting orders from his lord. Theo then focused his gaze on his new servant to see his information, hoping it worked like it did when he looked at the mausoleum.

[Skeleton Warrior]

[Level: 10/100]

[Abilities: Fighting.]

Theo was shocked to see that his level was actually 1, the lowest possible, but he wasn't discouraged because he could level up by gaining experience if the score after the level indicated what he imagined.

He then gave the skeleton its first order, after giving it a name.

"Bones, go out into the woods and hunt something for me to eat, or pick berries if you don't think you can beat an animal." Theo said.

The skeleton waved and left, meanwhile Theo didn't stay still, he tried to open his status to see his information and if it could have any other hidden function.

[Status], [Chat], [Trade], [Inventory], and [Craft], were the options he found when he said the word 'Menu'. When opening, the status information first appeared.

[Theo Fierro]

[Level: 10/100]

[Class: None]

[Skill: None]

HP: 100

MP: 0

Strength: 3

Defense: 3

Vitality: 10

Dexterity: 5

Charisma: 4

Luck: 5 (Cannot be changed by attribute points)

"Being a lazy guy on Earth didn't let me have better attributes, but if I had known I was going to be sent into a crazy survival game, I would have spent all my time in a gym and learning how to survive in the wild." Theo thought.

The next to be opened was the 'Inventory', which consisted of a screen showing 25 free, empty spaces, which could be increased depending on the person's level to rise, according to the information provided to him. After that, he opened the chat and was directed to a screen with two options: World Chat and Regional Chat.

Choosing the regional chat, the first thing he noticed was the number in the upper right corner of the screen that showed in real time how many people were in that region, and the number was huge. 10,000 was the number of people currently. Countless messages were coming in every second, and it was hard to keep up. But Theo found that he could control the scrolling speed of the messages, making it easier for him to follow the discussions and get information.

The main information was about the starting units of the many players who were debating which was the best and which was the worst. He saw things like, elves, beastmen, undead, humans, dwarves, wild beasts, and a multitude of other things. But luckily for him, there weren't things like Dragons, Angels or any other units that were too powerful from the start.

From what you can tell, this game would be fair, it would give players ways to be strong, but it would also send disasters to sweep away the weak. It was while he was thinking about this that a notification popped up on the side screen.

[His unit killed a rabbit, gaining 5 XP.]

"Wow, so I gain experience even if it's not me killing the animal. This is good, so I can guarantee that I will level up without getting injured in the first few days." Theo said it excitedly.
