Let's Be Quick Here

His nose and lungs were filled with the smell of earth. This allowed him to claim that he was in an enclosed space, such as an underground, tunnel, or cave.

There was a wet surface on the ground. The torches mounted on the wall in front of him shone in his eyes. At first, he was perplexed by the light, trying to figure out why he had brought in this place. But that expression vanished when he realized he couldn't even remember his own name.

"Wait... Who am I? Also, what I'm doing in this place?" He said in a confused tone.

He then pushed himself into a stood up, trying to get some answers for all the questions that pierced his mind right now.

Bam!

He fell to the ground and suddenly felt numbness throughout his body. To be precise, it seemed this man wasn't moving his body for several days or more than that.

"No, what is exactly going on here?"

His eyes widened when he noticed his mud-covered hands shivering uncontrollably. He tried putting his hands between his legs to stop it, but nothing happened.

~

It took almost five minutes for the intense shivering to subside and become calm. Regardless, he was unsure whether his hands shivered because he was afraid of something or because something was wrong with his body.

Hais...

He took a deep breath and gently exhaled it out, knowing that if he continued to panic in this situation, nothing good would happen. After that, he slowly leaned against the icy wall to help him think through the problem.

"First and primarily, I have to know where exactly this location is, as I have no idea whether this place is safe to stay here or not."

He muttered along with the thoughts as if he didn't force his brain to remember something, he might remember something.

A torch hung on the wall, enough to recognize the things around him. To describe the location, it was only 7 meters wide and 3 or 4 meters tall. Yes, this place was too small and the light given by the torch wasn't sufficient to illuminate the area. Furthermore, this location was divided into two paths, one on the left and one on the right. This man should identify which path was the safest to take at this point.

"It's a 50/50 chance; if I'm lucky, one of these paths will lead to the exit; if not, I'll probably go deeper into this place."

That's right, he's out of options. Rather, he could have stayed here and waited for someone to save him, or he could have gone on his own. The first idea was not recommended as he would starve to death.

He gradually pushed himself into a standing position as soon as he made his decision. "I'll take the right side as that's where I'll feel safe."

This man appeared to be acting on instinct. To put it another way, this was the only option he had at the time, so he reasoned that it would be far better if he listened to it.

He began to walk while listening to the sound of his feet sticking to the wet surface. Yes! He was dressed casually in shorts and a brown robe.

The man had already walked nearly 130 or 150 meters from his previous location in the blink of an eye. He came to a halt when he noticed a small arc above him that appeared to be heading into a new section.

The first thing he did was scan the area for anything that could potentially harm him. Even so, there were still dark areas, making it difficult to tell if there was anything inside.

The only thing he knew was that 75 meters away, there was a brown door. Why was he able to see the door from such a distance when some of the areas were hazy? The reason for this was that each side of the door had two wide posts where he could see the torches hung from them. Furthermore, he was only a glimpse of his memories. Still, he wasn't stupid enough to know whether that was a door or not.

"I guess, I don't have any choice." He muttered in a deep tone.

As he wandered again, he passed the arc above him, hearing footsteps echoed in the enclosed space.

Alas, he made it to the brown door without incident. He then looked at the door and the posts, which appeared to be unremarkable. Aside from the various symbols that are embossed on them.

"I can read right?"

He was blinking in surprise as he couldn't understand the letters in front of him, no matter how hard he tried.

"I have too many problems to think about this; it's nonsense; I have to keep going."

He placed his hand on the brown door, feeling the mild cold absorbed by it. In addition, his hands would not last as an electric current was sparked on him.

"Ouch! What was that-?!"

He paused for a second after hearing the sound that had woken him up not long ago.

Suddenly, a blue-white light dazzled him right next to his eyes. That was a common occurrence whenever a certain person remained in the dark for an extended period of time.

Meanwhile, his eyesight had returned to normal, and he saw the blue screen that indicated some context.

[Great! You've arrived at the starting point! ]

[The system has granted you assistance! It would help you survive in a world full of monsters, dungeons, demons, Gods, and other bloodline races you never imagined existed! ]

Kai smiled broadly as he remembered his name and some of his childhood memories. But, for some reason, his mind wasn't telling him why he was in this situation.

"Yeah, that's right! I'm Kai Xin, 21 years old, enrolled in one of Japan's top universities! And... And..." He paused to speak as it appeared that someone was obstructing his memories.

Kai also had an idea about the significance of the elevated screen that appeared in front of him. It was not mentioned that Kai enjoyed playing various types of online games, which is why he had a $40,000 computer in his room.

"What are all these notifications about? Gods, demons, dungeons, and monsters? Don't tell me I'm inside the RPG online?" He gradually shook his head, as he had no idea how to prove it. "It's unthinkable."

Ding!

After the system ended to show the first notifications, it released several screens that showed what he needed to do in this place.

"Hey! Hey! What's going on here? Rewards and Quest? Why is this happening?"

Yes! He was being frustrated by the situation since there were always new occurrences that came up even though he had no any idea.

[Do you want to accept the quest? Yes/No]

Kai was dumbfounded at the blue screen for a couple of minutes, helping himself to analyze the given situation to him. In his mind, he asked himself what would happen if he refused the quest?

[Answer: nothing would happen if the host decided to refuse the quest, it will not receive the rewards.]

He sighed of relief as he haven't to forced to do the survival quest. But that expression vanished after the system followed up with a new screen.

"Yes! This is good I can go back and take the other path so I can leave!"

[Quest accepted! The host must enter the dungeon!]

Unexpectedly, Kai accidentally accepted the quest by just simply saying the YES word. Or to be exact, he thought the only thing to accept the quest was to press the button on the screen.

Bam!

Bam!

As soon as the brown door automatically opened, Kai was pulling by the darkness. "No! No! No! I'm not going to do the quest, I have not ready for this!"

The strong force was pulling him was getting stronger and stronger every time he was refusing to enter. He hugged the post just trying to stop his body from moving.

Ahhhh!

Kai was sucked by the darkness and immediately went into the large platform that had still the same setting from earlier.

In front of him were the yellow gleaming eyes as he already spotted a monster that he had never seen in his entire place.

Huh?!

Wait!

Why there is a skeleton here?!
