chapter 1 'beginner zone'

As the light died out, Luke slowly opened his eyes and observed his surroundings. He was in a great meadow filled with green grass and tall mountains barely visible in the distance. He looked up and saw the yellow sun and blue sky littered with clouds creating little patches of shadow over the ground. His first thought was ' What a beautiful scenery! Furthermore, It seems to still be Earth. And the air! It doesn't smell of pollution for once, nor does it smell like feces.'

He took a deep breath while closing his eyes, with a small smile on his face. ' Ohh how great it is to breathe pure air for once ' As he was reveling on the new feelings, he heard the system prompt

* Human Luke, you have been teleported to the beginner hunting zone 021, please wait for the monsters to be spawned, the first quest will begin in 30 seconds *

As he heard this, he prepared himself.

He took out the two daggers that were always on himself and began to look for a hiding spot. He found a small tree 70 meters away from him and sprinted to hide there. For the remaining time, he decided to ask something that mildly bothered him

' System, why is it that weapons are not provided since it should be related to fighting or something? '

* As you already have a weapon and even a skill corresponding to it, it was decided that it would be useless to present you anything, besides, these daggers are your luck since all weapons provided for the first quest are basic and of much lesser quality. *

' Then why don't I have my gun? '

* Guns are prohibited till the third quest *

As he was about to ask more questions, the system announced that time is up.

* The monsters will now be spawned.

... first common quest: defeat the 25 goblins.

Upon completion of the quest, you will be teleported to the common hunting grounds where you will be able to encounter other humans and work with them to complete the second quest. *

After that, hideous, short, green-skinned creatures appeared in random locations within 100 meters of him.

Immediately, Luke quietly killed 7 goblins near him with a stab to the throat.

Of course, with the sound of the falling bodies, the other goblins became aware of his presence and ran to him with their short sticks while screaming " uuaaaarrrghhhhh"

As he watched them scramble towards him he lifted his right arm while kicking on the ground and quickly stabbed a goblin to the heart. He then stepped back evading the goblins' short sticks. In this way, he killed all the goblins in the hunting grounds in a hit and run tactics and heard the system's prompt.

* Congratulations human Luke, you have successfully completed the quest in 21 seconds, you have been awarded 25 points... calculating... you are the fastest human to complete the quest... You have been awarded 500 points... you will be teleported to the common hunting grounds in 9 minutes and 30 seconds. *

' ...That was unexpectedly disappointing...well whatever, let's just browse through the shop'

* shop :

1. food

2. tools

3. potions

4. spells *

'I don't have much time so let's go through the most urgent one. '

He then selected the spells option

* calculating your elements... space and darkness elements found... tier one spells :

darkness walk: 50 PTS cost: 20 mana/min

dark hand: 60 PTS cost: 1 mana

spacewalk: 200 PTS cost: 10 mana/min

space blades : 220 PTS * cost : 2 mana

Seeing what the system offered, Luke decided to first look at the abilities description

* darkness walk: covers the body with a veil of darkness. Greatly increase stealth in dark areas

dark hand: covers the hand with a veil of darkness that greatly increases the power and corrosiveness of your attacks. Can be applied to weapons.

spacewalk: greatly increase movement speed by bending space

space blades: creates slight fissures in space that can greatly increase the sharpness of your attacks. *

' hmm... all the abilities seem impressive but I don't have enough points so I will choose the most obvious two.'

Luke then selected spacewalk and dark hand

* deducting 260 pts, 265 pts are left. *

Immediately after that, his head ached and he received the information on how to use the abilities. ' Perfect, now let's see if my ability is as great as I expect it to be '

Luke then used his dark hand ability and as the name implies, his hands were covered by a veil of darkness. He tried punching the tree that was near him and was very pleased with the outcome. The tree had a dent in the form of his fist and emitted sizzling sounds as it was corroding. ' Good, now, time for the real deal ' He activated his spatial storage ability and tried to absorb the remaining darkness on the tree but it failed. Now he activated the dark hand spell and tried to absorb it.

'As I thought it is a success! haha, now for the remaining 3 minutes, I will keep activating dark hand and absorb it but before that, let's try space walk '

Immediately after, he ran while activating the ability. He fell since he was not used to the space bending. He tried again with slower movements and kept accelerating until he was at his peak speed. ' it seems like it doubled my speed, pretty strong for a tier one spell, though, I don't have anything to compare. '

What he didn't know but expected was that tier one space elemental spells are stronger than other elements since they were more expensive than the darkness ones, that were also very expensive considering that other people will most likely have 25 PTS upon completion of the quest. They would be meaningless if the cost of spells was that much. At the same time, he pitied the other people who had elements that have spells as expensive as his.

' Now then let's browse the potions part while storing dark hands. '

* potions: tier one :

vitality enhance: 10 pts

intelligence enhance: 10 pts

strength enhance: 10 pts

agility enhance: 10 pts

resilience enhance: 10 pts

healing potion: 10 pts

Effects: all enhancing potion add 1 stat point the chosen attribute.

healing potion can help recover from heavy injuries *

Luke was stunned seeing this but immediately bought what he needed : 3 healing potions, 10 agility enhance, 10 resilience enhance and 3 vitality enhance and used the enhancements.

* 260 PTS deducted, remaining points: 5. *

He stored them and asked why there is no mana replenish or enhance

* This will be brought up in the second quest... You will now be teleported to the common hunting grounds. Good luck human Luke *
