"Welcome to the World of Endless Carnage, inhabitants of Earth! A voice booms.
"You will be given seven days of protection from the natives of this world, but if you attack them without just cause, they will be free to counterattack or kill you. Be warned, death in this world means true death."
"Only strength is revered here," the voice continues. "You will be given a system to guide you and provide your character status, but keep in mind that it is only there to assist you."

Among the crowd of Inhabitants of Earth, a 17-year-old male is standing in the boundary in the center of the plaza, looking in his surroundings and while trying to comprehend what just happened to them.
Upon hearing that he will receive a system to show his character status, he immediately calls out, "System!"
No response.
He tries again, shouting, "Character Status!"
With a unique "Ding" sound echoing in his ears, a transparent holographic panel appears before him.

As the natives engage in discussion about this unusual phenomenon, the inhabitants of Earth are in a state of panic about their situation, particularly after hearing the mechanical and emotionless voice declare that they have been transported to another world.
Inspired by Galande's lead, some of the level-headed Earthlings followed suit and called out for their own "System" and "Character Status".
-
A few seconds after the Earthlings located in Beginner's Town #A1002 managed to check their individual characters, a system notification popped up in their character status displaying a quest.
Quest: Leave the town and achieve your first monster kill.
Reward: A set of equipment for level 0 or above characters.
Time Limit: None, but failure to leave the town after one hour will result in your soul being obliterated and your death.
What?" everyone exclaimed in disbelief.
They couldn't believe they were being tasked with leaving the town and killing a monster just moments after arriving in this strange world, and the worst part was that if they failed to leave within an hour, they would be executed.
Even though Earth had experienced an apocalypse 20 years ago, not everyone was brave enough to fight those creatures, especially since it had been 15 years since that event.
As they looked around, they realized that just leaving the town would take half of the hour they were given, and what about the elderly and disabled people? Could they leave? Of course, if someone helped them, but would everyone be willing to risk their lives for others in this situation? The answer was a mixture of yes and no.
Galande was one of those who chose to be selfish, pushing anyone who blocked his way out to the crowded teleportation circle.
"Get Out!" he shouted as he pushed others and ran as fast as he could.
"Ouch!"
"Fuck!"
"Your sister! Bastard!"
As everyone tried their best to leave the crowded plaza, some elderly people, children, and disabled people were left behind and some were trampled on the ground, but thankfully, no one died.
However, one thing was certain: humans were cruel in nature.
The natives just stood there, looking at the Earthlings with pity. Some of them were struggling to suppress their feelings to help these newcomers because if they did, they would be the ones to be obliterated.
Not everyone is a Hero, Unless.
Let just leave that there.
-
Galande managed to leave the town within a quarter of the hour limit, panting heavily from the continuous running.
After a quarter on hour of rest, Galande managed to check his surrounding and he was amazed by the beautiful scenery surrounding him - a lush forest filled with towering trees and endless mountains.
"Where could I even find monsters to kill?" As he was looking at the endless forest.
However, this serene environment was quickly disturbed as more and more people arrived, filling the area with sounds of heavy panting and complaints.
"Growl!"
"Roar!"
The sound of a loud roar echoed from the depths of the forest, startling the birds and the monsters within. With a loud bang, the monsters started pouring out from all corners of the forest in a state of panic.

-
The guards standing at the entrance of the town were startled and shouted to their companions to ring the emergency bell.
"It's a beastly attack!"
As the surrounding guards prepared themselves for the incoming battle and the Earthlings started arriving one after the other, the time limit to complete the quest to leave the town also ended as the monsters started charging towards the town.
The captain of the guards started shouting orders for his guards to close the gate.
-
Galande's expression changed from being intoxicated by the beautiful scenery to a frown and feeling of unease.
"How can we fight this beast tide?" he wondered, as he looked at the levels of the monsters, all of which were level 10 or above.
The first quest given in this Beginner's Town seemed incredibly difficult. How could people who were level 0 and had just transmigrated to this strange world fight a monster ten times stronger than themselves?
The worst part was that they couldn't even go back inside the town, as they would be killed by the system. And, most importantly, how could they climb the 10-meter-tall town walls?
Others shared Galande's thoughts and shouted out in frustration, as if they wanted the heavens to hear them.
"This is not just difficult, it's called INSANITY BEYOND ABSURD!"
"Heavens! Why are you so cold to us?! "
"Oh, COLD HEAVENS!"
"Fuck you!"
These were the last words the people from Earth, including Galande who was in Beginner's Town #A1002, managed to utter as they shouted together in unison when the beast tide collided with them.
Boom!
Growl!
Screech!
