[Hello! Creatures identified as humans.

Welcome to the [Selection Area]

Each of you has just been teleported to the [Selection Area] for a quick exam that will determine the rest of your lives.

Get chosen, outperform everyone, and you'll have a chance at immortality.

You have the option to choose your own kind of assistance for support, as long as it doesn't violate the [Selection Areaguidelines. ]'s

You are now being transported to make your choice...]

On July 17, about 5.30 am, a high-pitched voice rang in Brian's ears as soon as the white light enveloped him.

Brian's inability to identify the speaker's gender made the voice peculiar.

A little while later, he was taken to a white room.

The room was really small and had a dazzling white paint job.

Brian stood there indifferently watching everything around him because he had already seen this situation in the memory fragment.

"Select your 'help'"

Brian was confused when a frigid voice sounded in his ears because, despite his military training as a soldier, he was unable to identify its source.

He quickly regained composure and responded nearly immediately.

"The capacity to steal or duplicate the 'help' of others."

"Not possible" The cold voice instantly replied, as if used to such demands.

"Here are some options you would want to choose from" He continued

[1. World Tree of elves

2. Dragon egg

3. Various types of System

4. Apocalyptic hints

5. Make me the protagonist

6. Sharingan

7. The nameless book from MP

8. 100x increase

9. 1000x increase

10. Phoenix Egg…]

Ignoring the top 100 options, there was also very weird 'help' like Sex Beast System, Sex System, Myriad Bank System, and whatnot.

When Brian read the nearly limitless list of 'help's' he was a little taken aback because, in John Jacob Bastor IV's memory, he had never seen these options.

He understood why it happened because John Jacob Bastor IV opted for the less innovative option rather than the game-changing one.

Brian started speaking before even getting through the entire list.

"Borrowing Other Creature's 'help' after killing them just for a single use"

"Oh" As it proceeded, the frigid voice had a little astonishment in it.

"Agreed"

Brian automatically closed his eyes when the icy voice ceased and he saw the dazzling light engulfing him once more.

A split second later, the white light vanished.

When Brian opened his eyes, he was faced with a holographic display.

[ Instructions:

1. Novice period has ended for creatures termed as humans

2. In [Selection Area] Creation Points can be used for everything

3. Creation Points can be plundered from other creatures but not traded

4. Creation points can be earned by killing wild creatures

5. To get Selected in [Selection Area] one needs to…]

Brian was aware that the team with John Jacob Bastor IV had already finished the human beginner phase.

Brian heard battling sounds before he could finish reading.

As soon as he became aware, he clicked the X icon in the top-right corner of the interface to close it and instantly began to look around.

On a mountaintop, he discovered himself, with a steep slope on his right and a thick, verdant forest with tall trees of an unidentified kind on his left.

*Clang*

*Peng*

From inside the trees, on his left, he could hear the sound of metal crashing into one another.

He opened the interface once more after assessing the situation and tip-towing himself in the direction of the tree to avoid being noticed.

[5. To get selected in [Selection Area] one needs to attract the attention of Selectors by getting a huge amount of Creation Points appropriately.

6. You can choose to open the Beginner's entrance gift now]

There was an option of Yes and No on the interface below the 6th statement. Brian immediately clicked on the Yes to get some protective gear for him.

[Beginner's Entrance gift-

1. Sword/ dagger/ karambit/ crossbow/ bow and 5 arrows/ short sword/ needles/ sickle/ axe/ trident…

2. 1 packet of bread

3. 2 litre water

4. 50 Creation Points]

He didn't waste any time selecting a sharp dagger that was best used in forested areas.

Bread, water, and a short dagger appeared in front of him.

As soon as he heard battling sounds, Brian grabbed the dagger and ran over. Even though there was no storage feature, he decided against taking the bread and water because he knew he couldn't carry them during a fight.

I don't want to fight you, sir. Take my food and water if you desire them. Why do you use violence in this situation?

A scared-sounding man who had collapsed on the ground said.

Why should I leave you, I thought, ha ha ha ha? I'm able to obtain Creation Points by killing you and your food and resources will also be taken by me"

The large man laughed like a lunatic. He spoke quite a bit, making it abundantly evident that this was his first time actually killing someone.

"That guy is acting quite well."

The fearful man was merely acting shy and waited for the ideal opportunity to strike, Brian realized after monitoring the man from the treetop. Although it was a well-planned act, to Brian, who had schooled himself to handle similar situations, it seemed like child's play.

The frightened man clutched the scythe in his hand, but the burly man had a knife on his neck.

After a few more minutes of pointless blabbering, the timid man showed his hole card and tossed a poison dart in the lunatic man's direction as the scythe and knife collided in the air, sending sparks flying.

OR perhaps this should have happened...

However, as soon as the two men brought their weapons to clash against one another, a flying dagger was unleashed, sealing the throat of the timidly acting man.

The abrupt change in circumstances rendered the lunatic man speechless. He had no idea that a sneak attack would result in the frightened man's death.

When Brian thought it was time, he emerged from hiding and began to approach the lunatic man, who had a terrified expression on his face.

Blood spurted like a fountain from the timid man's neck and coated him. By the gore scene, he appeared to be on the verge of throwing up.

Utilizing the chance, Brian struck the man's neck at a specific location to cause him to lose consciousness.

"hoof" Brian wiped the non - existent sweat from his forehead and opened the default system to examine it...
