Chapter - 3: First Floor & Starter Pack

***

When Ying Hao opened his eyes again, the sky was blue and clear. The sunlight shone warmly on his face, making him narrow his eyes in comfort.

A light breeze brushed past. He smelt the aroma of grass mixed with earth; it shook up him awake, feeling refreshed and cooled out. It was like Mother Nature was hugging him in her embrace. It was only something he felt when his Mother hugged him.

" Ma..." A choked sigh came out of his mouth. A few tears traveled from his face.

He doesn't get how some people can just forget their parents like in those Fanfics. Just for life in another world, they would throw everything away without a second thought. That's clearly not human.

If he had a chance, he rather be dead than be here in another world. But alas, the Gods didn't want that for him.

..

Whipping his face clean - Ying Hao sat up from the grassy field he woke up to. The fresh grass still had morning dew on it. As the wind blew, the grassy plain flowed like waves. The view was quite lovely.

At this moment, Ying Hao suddenly heard a rustling sound come from behind his back. The sound grew louder and louder.

Turning around quickly, his golden eyes meet crimson ones.

Looking at him is a strange big white rabbit with red eyes. Furthermore, Its size wasn't rabbit-like anymore. It was a meter-tall rabbit. This huge rabbit was about the same size as regular wolves on Earth. It's something Ying Hao never saw before with his own two eyes.

Staring at the super-sized white rabbit, Ying Hao's lips twitched.

' What a cliche first floor.'

The human and rabbit stared at each other for a long time.

Seemingly done scanning him - the white rabbit opened its tiny mouth, revealing rows of shining white teeth. If Jaws and a Rabbit somehow had a baby - then this thing will be it.

Glancing at his side, he smiled seeing his beautiful black and gold Jian sword in its black sheath. The sheath itself possesses unusual rune-like symbols that glow crimson now and then - resembling a beating heart.

Looking back at the white rabbit, Ying Hao saw its eyes flash.

At this moment, the huge rabbit's powerful legs sprung against the ground, making only a slight thud. A mixture of blades of grass and earth was kicked up into the sky as the giant rabbit turned into a white beam and rapidly neared Ying Hao.

The gap between them closed by tens of meters in just a few seconds. The giant rabbit got close up to Ying Hao. Its originally soft and cute paws became a lethal scythe slicing at his chest with a frosty glow.

Unfortunately for the white rabbit, Ying Hao already moved his Jian sword out of its sheath with a flick of his wrist.

*Bang!*

Like two small cars smacked into each other, a sound boomed throughout the forest.

' Arg...' Ying Hao grunted, feeling his arms go numb for a few seconds.

Following the original Ying Hao's memories, he blocked a fury of slashes from the white rabbit. Surprising even himself, he got a few cuts in, slashing one of the rabbit's eyes.

*Grrrrrrrrrr!*

The wolf-sized rabbit grunted louder, stopping for a split second. Sadly, that's all Ying Hao needed.

In a beautiful arc - Ying Hao's sword met flesh for a moment. Next, the sword went through the rabbit's neck like he cutting through butter.

[ Demonic White Rabbit - Killed! You gained: 100 AP ]

' Only one hundred?' Ying Hao's lips twitched. Unknown to him, a stream of colorless light from the dead rabbit entered his forehead.

Sighing, he smiled remembering something,' At least I still have my starter pack.'

The only reason he didn't outright open a starter is that he was in the open. Now in his dream? It's much safer.

' System - open my starter pack.'

[ Are you sure? ]

' Yes!'

[ Affirmative! Opening Starter Pack!

You gained: Primordial Runes(Nasuverse) || Fallen Seed(Overlord) || 10,000 Gold Coins ]

' System - can you pull the first two reward profiles up for me?'

[ Sure!

Primordial Runes: The 24 original runes, created by Odin after sacrificing his eye for wisdom. They allow for the rapid performing of powerful magic without the need for an incantation. Being both from the Age of Gods and imbued with the divine authority of Odin himself makes them incredibly potent.

It was after mastering them that Scathach became one of the most powerful mages in the entire Age of Gods. They also act as a core part of her power. Given that she killed a God, that's enough to show how impressive they are.

To be clear, this doesn't make you a Master of using Primordial Runes. It gives you the ability to use them and basic knowledge of how they work. But that's all.

--

Fallen Seed: In simple terms, the - Fallen Seed is a racial change item from YGGDRASIL, the DMMO-RPG Game from Overlord.

In YGGDRASIL, it was possible to change races, but in order to achieve a racial change one would need to fulfill several conditions and the change would be irreversible. Thus acquiring specific items are necessary in order to shift races

The Fallen Seed allows players to switch their racial features to a  Demon. The only way for this item to activate requires the condition of a sacrifice in preparation ]

' Ah, that's why it sounded so familiar. It's from Overlord.'

Ying Hao smiled. It seems he got some good stuff from his starter pack. Especially the Primordial Runes. It can kill Gods!

As Ying Hao's mind wondered - information was steadily pouring over into his mind, giving him the ability and knowledge of how Primordial Runes work.

When the information was done imprinting itself, he found himself looking at a brown ceiling.

' I guess the information was to much for my consciousness.'

Sitting up - he chuckled seeing the flushed face of the rather beautiful maid that was cleaning his room, while he was sleeping.

" You may leave."

" As you wish, Young Master." Bowing like those two Gu Guardsmen, the Maid left.

Now alone - Ying Hao smiled darkly to himself.

' I was right. This new life of mine is gonna be fun.'
