[Nice to meet you host no.5. Welcome to Alcanti, a mysterious world with swords and magic. Your objective is to become a god.]-system

[I did not sign up for this. Send me back.] (I have read many of this type of novels, real life is not as simple as how those novels describe it.) -Dan, there are too many factors to account for, he irritatedly cursed in his mind.

Meanwhile, on a battlefield in a border of an unknown country border, tens of thousands of soldiers clashed with one another. The unpleasant stench of blood and death could be felt from a distance. With roars and screams the soldiers were in basic formation charging to the front lines. Colourful balls of light could be seen flying into enemy territories after loud and synchronized chants.

While there aren't any cannons, there were still destructive weapons used. Sometimes heavy rains of arrows would fall from the sky piercing through anyone whos foolish enough to stand in their path. The magical balls whistled through the air, causing mini explosions all over the battlefield. Indeed this is a chaotic battlefield...

Hundreds of civilians could be seen fleeing the battlefield, each desperate to escape this hellhole. Families huddle together to provide comfort. In extreme cases, there are those who trample over the bodies of the fallen ones. Some even going as far as to pushed the elderly to die, to die in this rampant environment without care or remorse.

In the midst of the chaos lies Dan standing. His thoughts were in a mess.

Dan's P.O.V

*sigh* [Of all places... At least give me a cheat or an explanation]

[We are off with a "great start"] Dan grumbled about this misfortune.

Unreliable system, now I am stuck here. I guess the best option here is to follow the crowd of civilians. With such medieval technology, they probably don't have detection systems. So I should sneak into a town to gather information.

Normally I would need more information before making a decision. Let's list down what I have since I am still on a safe spot.

Small notebook:

2 kingdoms or faction are at war ( unknown affiliations)

No map

Unknown customs

Unknown language

Psychopathic/unreliable system

So basically I know nothing...

ASSUMPTIONS:

Technological level is at Romans or medieval era

Magic exists!!!! maybe infinite energy?

low tech=low education level

(end of note)

*slow and soft footsteps*

What the f*ck is that thing?

This was his thought when a zombie-like creature approaches him. It looks exactly like a zombie from a horror movie. Really? Great, powerless in a hostile environment. The zombie's body was filled with maggots which wiggled along with the zombie's motion. It gave off an unpleasant stench making Dan feel like puking. It mindlessly and sluggishly approached Dan.

Without a second thought, Dan dashed towards the crowd of civilians for shelter.

Horrified by the approaching creature. The crowd too ran in the opposite direction, they screamed and shouted for help causing the already chaotic battlefield to be more chaotic, the people stomped over one another just to escape from this creature. Luckily, a nearby young priest shouted a bunch of incantations. Immediately a small ray of light appeared and purified the corpse. Seemingly, the dead body felt less creepy and the atmosphere became less gloomy.

Strange, but I will think about it in a safe place, almost forgotten that my clothes don't fit in here. Dan thought to himself. Then he grabbed the cleanest cloak on the ground and covered himself. Dan followed the crowd of civilians, while disguised as one of them he realizes he could understand the language they were speaking. After walking for several hours, the entire group stopped to rest.

Dan noticed them complaining about the war. Many of them voiced out their dissatisfaction with the current ruling class, the royal family. They were obviously poorly dressed, some even wearing just a single piece of rag cloth.

According to the citizens, the royal family not only take up unreasonably high taxes, they continuously provoke the empire resulting in a war every year. However, these voices were not very loud as the villagers were afraid to provoke any soldiers who are loyal to the country.

Dan approached a fire site and decided to rest. "These rumours may not be true, at least I am still alive" he muttered while trying to warm himself. While he and the group of people were resting a group of soldier escorting a carriage passed them. A golden churlish symbol could be seen on the amour, flags and carriage.

Knowing what the symbol meant, everyone knelt down and shouted: "long live his majesty". Luckily Dan had followed the crowd action. As if waiting for execution everybody's expression was solemn and the atmosphere turned gloomy once again.

*creak* the carriage door opened. An oddly cheerful voice can be heard, "I like that one take her away". "Please NO sto-" her voice quickly muffled away. Everyone saw what happened but did nothing. The crowd could only powerlessly watch while the poor girl was dragged into the carriage. Even the girl's parents stood at the side silently without making any sounds of objection.

The carriage then left for the front lines.
