Chapter 1

In the white room with a white bed in the center, there was nothing but that bed and the blond-haired boy sleeping on it.

He slept peacefully for a few seconds and then jumped out of bed in fright.

The young man looked around for a while with his blue eyes, then slowly calmed down and felt disappointed. The fact that he was still in the white room disproved his assumption that it was all a dream.

He sat on the edge of the bed and running his hands through his blond hair, remembered everything that had happened before he had fallen asleep from tiredness.

Just a few days ago he had lost both his parents at the same time in a car accident. Having no other relatives and no will to live, he had been driven to suicide, but at the last moment he remembered something his mother had said to him when he was young and decided to give up on suicide and fight to the end.

After standing on the edge of the cliff and shouting out loud that he was going to make a lot of money and marry a good wife, the young man started to ride his little electric bicycle back to his family's small rented house.

Luck is such an incomprehensible thing that it decided to throw a meteorite at the head of this young man who had forcibly instilled in himself the hope of living.

Suddenly realizing that the fireball was coming towards him and that he could no longer escape even if he wanted to, he smiled at God's joke and waited to die, he was sure that he would die even if such a large meteorite fell close to him, and the choice he chose to make was not to run away like a fool, but to open his arms and accept his fate.

When the meteor fell on the young man, he found himself in the shade of a huge white tree. At first he thought he had entered heaven and was going to see his family again, but a sudden flood of information flooded his memory, leaving him in confusion.

As he stood under the tree trying to absorb the information in his mind, a blue magic circle appeared under the huge tree and a few seconds later a middle-aged man in a suit appeared in the center of the magic circle with a small burst of light.

When he saw him look around for a while in a daze and then freeze with confused eyes, he realized that he was going through the same process as he was. But still the information in his brain was as silly to him like something out of a work of high fantasy.

Thinking that it was absurd that information suddenly appeared in his head, he followed the information's instructions and shouted "system screen on" into the air.

After saying these words, a system screen appeared in front of him, just like in a fantasy manga.

[ Helper system ]

[ Please select where you want to go.

1- Personal home

2- Statistics upgrading laboratory

3- Store

4- Auction

5- Awakening area

6- Cultivation rooms

7- City center

8- Black Tower ]

According to the information in his head, this system was accessible to anyone who came to this paradisiacal place called the Big Game. Although there were many things the system could do, he knew that he had to go to the Awakening area before he could access these features.

After encountering so many magical things, he finally put his common sense aside and trusted the information in his mind and marked the awakening area on the system screen.

The system screen disappeared and a white arrow floated a few meters in front of him. At the same time, when he looked up and looked around a bit, he saw another arrow floating in the air, pointing away from the white buildings around him.

A small green arrow hovered in the air, showing him where he needed to go and how far away he was from the target.

So Shen Mu followed the path of the system and did what was written in his mind.

Remembering the ability he obtained when he placed his hand on the awakening orb, Shen Mu got up from his bed, opened the system screen and clicked on his profile.

[ Statistics ]

[ General ]

[ Helper system ]

Mu hesitated for a while and then reached for the talent tab.

[ Talent Photographer - E (Evolvable)

Evolutionary conditions: Take 10 photos

Owned photos: 0

Active: none

Passive: none

Buff: none ]

When Mu first came to this world, he understood for a while what was going on and then he thought he was a main character, just like in the novels. But his dream only lasted until he completed his awakening ceremony.

He gained an E-level ability, just like a regular side character. In his mind, he knew that in the future he would be sent to different worlds with other players and would have to do missions, so an E-level ability would definitely be insufficient.

Fortunately, the E-level ability he obtained was of the evolvable type. Mu stopped feeling bad about it, hoping that evolvable abilities were quite rare.

The use of his ability had been imprinted in his mind the moment he had acquired it, just as it had been when he had first arrived here. According to the information in his mind, his ability was a kind of copying ability.

If Mu managed to take a picture of a monster while it was spewing a ball of flame from its mouth, he would receive a single-use flame spewing ability card.

Mu thought that this ability could be useful if used well, but he couldn't get it out of his mind that the abilities he obtained were disposable, so he would never be able to master them.

"Sigh..."

Shen Mu closed the skill tab and opened the statistics tab, and once again faced the fact that he was an ordinary person. Fortunately, stats could be upgraded with points obtained after games.

Mu stared thoughtfully for a while at the text indicating that he was level one, then clicked on the "general" tab to see how long he had been asleep.

[1 hour, 12 minutes until the start of the next game]

Shen Mu came to one of the walls of the white one he was in, surprised to find that he had slept for almost 12 hours. He touched the wall and selected yes from the system screen that appeared in front of him, asking him if he wanted to leave the house.

Suddenly a teleportation circle appeared under his feet and teleported him out of the house, just as it had done when he entered.

He found himself in a large neighborhood, like the single-family home districts in America, with the same white boxes stretching endlessly.

There were houses around a highway with yards that could be described as gigantic rather than large, but the problem was that all the houses were just simple white boxes.

The system gave players the option to upgrade their own houses, but they had to spend points to do so. And since all the players were new here, no one had any points to spend, so all the houses were just some simple boxes. Fortunately, the system offered the ability to teleport for free to players who couldn't even buy a door.

Holding his stomach, which was starting to ache from hunger, Mu opened the helper system screen, selected the store tab where the stores were located, and followed the arrow sign for a walk that lasted almost an hour.

Fortunately, there was no temperature problem in this magical place despite the two big suns in the sky.

Mu had done half of the journey on foot, so he reached the shops just before the new game started and bought something to eat from the humanoid robots that could be described as NPCs.

After Shen Mu bought the best hot donut he had ever eaten in his life for the free 10 points the system gave him, he saw the countdown reach almost zero.
