Chapter 3 - First Day

The God told me all about the battle royale. There are one million people right now on this world. A defeat means death and nothing else. I can create parties in the system if I decide to join up with the others. But is it really worth it? There might be people here who will go as far to betray people.

After the God finished explaining all these rules and information about the battle royal the God left. "Goodluck Zieglind Reysh."

I smiled and waved goodbye. I made plans on what to do before going to a town. I at least need to be level 5.

"System, how much experience needed until level 2?"

[You need 100 EXP before <Level 2>]

"Well. The system acts on voice recognition so that's good. I should head into the forest for some monsters to level up."

So I went into the forest then I noticed something. "Wait... I don't have a weapon?!?"

[The Abyss class starts out with your starting stats and brings no benefits to your equipment.] The system replied.

"What do you mean?! How can I level up in this state?!" I forgot that I was in the forest so the monsters nearby heard me.

"Skrieeehh...."

I knew something was nearby.

"Crap... I lured some monsters because of my loud voice." I continued to examine the are around me. I saw something in the bushes. "System, what monster is that?"

[Goblin, have a mediocre equipment and always have a dagger as their primary weapon. Their levels range from <Level 5-15>]

"Damn. I messed up this time. Its around those levels."

The goblin shrieks and charges at me with dagger in his hand. I dodged to the left but the goblin is quick. After I dodged the goblin goes back to the bushes and moves around so I don't know where his location is. "Crap, this one's intelligent."

I waited for the goblin to attack. Then again he charges with his dagger in hand but now I dodged to the left again and grabbed his tiny hands and redirected the dagger to his stomach and that pierced his body.

<You got 200 experience.>

<You Leveled Up to Level 2!>

"Damn that was difficult. One wrong move and I would've died to a goblin. And I leveled up from killing one? System, what level is the goblin?"

<Level 10 Speed-Type Goblin>

"So there's classes too for monsters? This is difficult than what I expected."

[This Goblin's body is ready for Skill Devouring]

I got a new dagger from the goblin. Its rusty but not that good. "Skill Devouring? Oh yeah the bonus skill I got from the Abyss starting class. Umm, System, how do I activate Skill Devouring?"

[You can simply say Devour]

"Okay. Let's try this. Devour." A pop up screen appeared in front of me. It listed two skills.

[Sprint]

Increases movement speed by 5%

[Harvest]

Harvest the meat of dead living beings.

"Hmm... I don't know what I would do for now. If I get Sprint right now that would eliminate the options of being a tank, mage and a support if I want to have comrades. I need Harvest right now."

[Harvest skill acquired]

"Guessing how the Skill Devouring activated on voice Harvest should too. Harvest Goblin." The goblin suddenly emitted a light and transformed in to finely cut meat.

[Goblin Flesh x10, edible. Gives you poison if eaten raw. If cooked it provides a good meal and a bonus +5 strength for 1 hour.]

"Oh? So edible foods gives me ability boosts? That should be useful. And night is already here." I found a small cave and some sticks around the forest and light it up inside the cave using primitive techniques. I cooked up the goblin flesh and it was really good.

"So this is what a day is like in Pandir? Its interesting." I slept inside the cave hoping to wake up in a new day. Then suddenly, I woke up in the middle of the night with 5 goblins surrounding me and a knife through my leg. "AGHHHHHH!!!!"
