The Black Forest

I waited and watched how these guys are screaming and crying like babies... I didn't tell anyone about the status because they could become enemies.

After some time in an instant I was transported to what it seems... a forest.

"Shouldn't the trees be smaller? They are huge..."

I looked at my body and I had new clothes. A black robe. On my back there was a long black and red scythe with an eye on it.

"I'm finally in another world. I always dreamed about it. I don't have anything in my original world, no parents, no friends, no pets so nothing is holding me back from living my dream.. I may have to kill but that's the game..."

I walked around and tried to understand where I am and see how this isekai works... There are animals in the forest but there's no monster around... I thought there would be a lot of monsters but there aren't. I was hungry and thirsty.

'The others are probably in different locations... The god told us we have to form teams, so that means some of them are near me. This is like a game so I have to find out how to use my skills. My skill was Ghost Reaper... How do I use it?'

"Ghost Reaper!"

' Nothing happened... Nice, my skill doesn't even work! '

I walked more and I've seen an old man... He had armor and a sword in his hand... He was just sitting there bleeding. His stomach was slashed ... I got closer to him.

"Mister, are you okay?"

"Oh, a young man... What are you doing here? I'm fine but it's a lethal poison, I will die soon..."

'I should get some information out of him'

"I... got lost! I'm from another continent . I just got here can you tell me more about this country?"

"Sure, I will die anyway.. Maybe if I help you I'll go to heaven, haha.. This country is called Zollia.. We are a powerful and beautiful country but monsters always attack us and we are at war with another country called Wavern... This is The Black Forest... It seems peaceful but when the evening comes the monsters come out of their hiding spots and it becomes the most dangerous place.. In our country there are other three dangerous zones... The Snake's Lake, where is a lake zone but is full of snakes and it is said that deep in the lake lives the Serpent King, a huge snake with a lot of magical power capable of destroying many villages.. The Mountain, a zone where monsters live and also dragons.The strongest dragon is a giant grey dragon called Daraki... The Infernal Vulcano , a two thousand years old vulcano that is asleep but lava still comes out of the ground sometimes, there is a legend that says that an ancient demon is sealed inside.. In the middle of the country it's the kingdom... Where people live... Merchants, farmers, soldiers, adventures... It's a beautiful world"

'That's a lot of information... Now I know where I'm at'

"How did you get this hurt, mister?"

"I was an adventurer for thirty years but a young boy with long hair just sliced my stomach with a knife... I was on a quest in this forest..Our fight was very exciting.. Haha... Such a strange kid..His name was Arkhal, if you ever meet him tell him that William Rower admirers his strength "

'That's... Sad'

" I will, mister.. " I said

" Boy, what's your name? "

" My name is Yami "

" I'm William, can you do me a favor? "

" Sure"

"I lost my necklace... I have it from my wife, can you find it for me?

" Okay"

I searched around for a few minutes and found it... I gave it to the old man

"Thank you, boy... Now please, slash my head with that scythe"

"What?"

"I'm poisoned... Just do it."

'I see... Then, I'll help him'

"I'm going to you, dear..." the old man said

I took my scythe, put it near him and I cut his head off..

His body then transformed in white bubbles and went to the sky...

"What was that?"

"That... Was a ghost? Unbelievable..."

'So my skill can allow me to see ghosts and if I help them I get stronger? I already feel stronger and faster, I even got a skill from the old man...'

I could hear something moving through the bushes... I took out my scythe and prepared for a sudden attack. It was a boar... Furiously he ran to me with speed..

"Wait!" someone shouted.

He threw an apple to the boar and the boar ate it... Immediately, blood bursted from it's eyes and died..

The guy who threw the apple was Mako Watanabe, the rich kid... He just has a dirty blouse on him.. Nothing special.

"I saved your ass, chubby boy!" he said

"Thanks... What did you do to that apple?"

"I poisoned it with my skill... Poisoned Hand"

"I see.. You want to team up?"

"Yeah... I'm glad I am addicted to video games, haha!"

We've seen another boar and we decided to eat it... We followed him but we lost him...

"Ahh, man..."

Some movement could be heard from the bushes...

"Huh... Again in the bushes..."

I got ready to kill it but he shouted :

"Stoooop!"

He stood up and hugged me...

"Bro.. I found you"

"Z-Zoku..What were you doing in the bushes?"

"Bro... I found you.. There was a huge red bear and I had to hide"

'Red bear... It means more experience points"

"Say status" I told him

"S-Status" he said "Wow! It's like a game! Look!"

' I can't see other statu... Wait, I can see it... Maybe if the player wants to show it to someone it can work... ' I thought

Zoku wore a white kimono with blue stripes and had a big bow on his back.

¡Status!

" Try the skill! Say it's name" I told him as he was taking out his bow.

"Sure! Wind Arrow"

A powerful wind arrow was shot and destroyed three trees...

"Has some destructive power" I said

"This is like a dream!" Zoku said happily

"Don't be so happy.. You will have to kill people" I told him

"Yeah..."

"Now let's find that bear"

*20 minutes later*

"We can't find him" said Zoku

"Zoku shout something"

"Shout? What?"

"I don't know dude! Shout something"

"Heeeeeelp! "

'That was really loud...'

"Rooooar" a beast was roaring

"Good... Let's find him now!"

We followed the roar and found the bear... He was trying to eat two people...

"Zoku! Shoot the bear!"

"I got this! Wind Arrow!"

He shot the bear and blew his brains out...

We got closer to the people and met them...

"We are saved!" they said

There's two girls ... Asami Izanami, a simple and honest girl with orange hair and red eyes that is always messy but doesn't care what others think and Rika Kaminari the top student, with purple long hair and blue eyes and the face of a fairy...

'She's the girl who always runs when she sees me, her name was... Rika'

Rika came near and thanked us..She wore a long blue dress and a black mage hat.

'So cute'

" My name is Yami Karanabe and he is Zoku Kiromura an he is Mako Watanabe , we are on the same team so will you join us? "

" I'm Asami and she's Rika... We're childhood friends...I don't know what team you're talking about but yeah... We'll join you"

Asami wore a white dress with a hat that had a cross on it.

" So do you get that this is a game? We will have to kill monsters and get stronger.. We also will have to kill our classmates but we can't do anything else. Say status!" I told them.

"But my family... I will never see them again..." said Rika while crying

"Well... I only had a pet in my world" said Asami

*After a while *

"I did it! I can see my status" said Rika

"Me too" said Asami

"Show us" I told them

'They have nice skills... I don't trust this Mako guy too much' I thought

"Guys, what's with that tower?" asked Rika

There is a tower with a clock that almost touches the clouds..

" I don't know but let's get going it's getting darker and the monsters will come" I told them...

"Wait, little guy" a voice appeared...

'Another team?'

A body made out of light appeared and told us:

"You want to know about that tower?When the clock will strike sixty times another team of winners will come and the final battle will begin. When the clock will strike one hundred times all of you will be dead.

Suddenly a metal ball on fire went through the god and destroyed a few trees.

"What? I didn't hit him? Well I can hit these guys...." said an unknown voice.

"Seems like it's getting dangerous here. The night is coming and two teams met. Interesting.. But I can't stay here anymore. Good luck, folks! " said the god
