a survival game

thousands of people disappear in a flash of light at the hands of entities calling themselves 'gods' and are transported to a different world they call 'the new ruins'.

[greetings new players, the world of 'the new ruins' is a post-apocalyptic world constantly besieged by natural disasters, radioactive disasters, zombies and mutant beasts].

Confused by the current situation, Red looked at the holographic screen that appeared before him.

"what is this, the new ruins?"....

[to return to your previous world you must either die or survive for two years by creating a shelter capable of withstanding the harsh adversities that plague this world].

...

POV MC

'what the hell is going on? a minute ago I was in my basement repairing that stupid radio and now I'm... uh.... where am I?

all I can see around me is trees and snow.

[Ding]

[to survive in this forgotten world the gods have taken pity and have given all players a shelter of the lowest level, however if you want to survive that won't be enough so we advise you to take into account the following points]

[1: a weather disaster will strike your territory periodically and players will receive a warning one week before the update].

[2: you have 12 hours to search for a suitable location to set up your shelter, a suitable terrain can increase your chances of survival enormously].

[3: risk and reward are connected, dealing with the dangerous mutant beasts may give rewards accordingly, there may also be resources and survival supplies in the wild however you must remember that if something looks too good there is probably some hidden danger].

[4: look for as many resources or supplies as you can, you will need them].

[5: if you accidentally meet another player it is up to you how to interact with each other, either ally or loot their resources or even ignore each other and go on your way].

[6: you can open your game panel by saying 'open state' and close it by saying 'closed state' there you will find functions you can explore].

[7: every four months a new wave of players will join, then family members will be sent to an area near your shelter].

"it's funny even so I don't think someone in my situation could waste time looking for a suitable place, if I don't get settled quickly I could give myself hypothermia from the cold."

With only a hoodie it would be difficult to resist the cold of this environment, looking around I managed to glimpse a higher area and not too steep so I headed towards it.

//huff// //huff///

'my god, it's really cold here... once I get to that little snow mountain I'll have a better view of my location... although I don't know if that will change anything'.

once i got there i could distinguish that a bit far from my location there were some hills and a mountain, i could also see a frozen river not so far from my location.

'if I hurry I can get to the hills in.... 5 hours maybe? instead getting to the river will only take me 45 minutes approximately, yeah, I think the river is better.. huh? what's that?"

seeing something sticking out a little in the snow near me I got curious so I approached to see what it was.

removing some of the snow I could see a wooden box painted in yellow.

[Ding]

[you found a yellow supply box!]

[do you want to open it?]

"uh... yes, open the box".

//shiiin//

the box transformed into particles of light and disappeared in an instant.

[you have acquired: +1 steel pot, +1 kitchen knife, +1 spoon and +1 whetstone]

in front of me appeared a kitchen set, I didn't know what to do with it so I simply put the knife, the whetstone and the spoon inside the pot and carried them in my hands.

//fuosh//

a small gust of wind makes my body shiver with cold so I hurry to get to the river, hurrying my steps I could arrive in 40 minutes.

Here is the river... there are also a lot of trees nearby so I guess I can get some wood around here'.

"now how do I set up my shelter? 'open state'"

[name: Red crescent

level: 0

shelter: -

title: -

talent: good luck

inventory: -

regional chat: -

global chat: -

transaction: -]

"good luck? this thing must be joking, open inventory".

[low grade shelter x1]

[to remove an item from inventory say 'remove' followed by the name of the item and the amount you wish to remove]

"how annoyingly embarrassing... good thing there's no one near me, very good.... 'remove low grade shelter x1' [to remove an item from inventory say 'remove' followed by the name of the item and the amount you wish to remove].

[warning! once you remove the shelter from your inventory it will be installed and you will not be able to put it back in your inventory again do you still want to remove 'low grade shelter x1'?]

"yes do, i don't want to spend any more time under the snow as i am and i have i'm freezing".

[received]

//shiiin//

with a flash appears what I would describe as a wooden box 5 meters wide, 4 meters long and 2.5 meters high with a door.

"again it appeared out of nowhere... just a flash and that's it! haa... I better stop thinking about it and go inside."

inside the shelter it was dark and empty, there was nothing to illuminate or any kind of furniture or decoration, I immediately left the pot with the cooking utensils on the wooden floor and I started to think.

my current situation did not look good at all, the only thing I had with me was my clothes, this shelter and the items I got in the yellow box.

"I saw that this thing has a global chat and a regional one I think I should see how the other 'players' are doing."

"open global chat"

[can only be used after 12 hours have elapsed since the arrival in the world of 'the new ruins'].

[10 hs: 48 min: 59 secs left]

"that... well, I can only wait if I want to know about the other players, it's a pity."
