Chapter 1 - Base Camp 1 (2/2)
A muscular man pointed at Eve while asking.
Eve shook her head.
“The Creator was the one who brought you here to this Nebulus world. So, don’t worry about anything and just work hard, alright?“
Eve winked at him with a cutesy pose.
“Creator my ass.”
“Send me back home!”
“I have to go to work tomorrow, jeez!”
People began to voice their complaints from all over the camp.
Eve sighed in annoyance as she raised her right hand and a pistol appeared in it
Bang!
Startled, they all took a step back, fear clearly seen in their eyes.
“Listen while you still can, you simply have no choice in the matter. If you insult the Creator or cut me off again, I’ll kill you.”
The base camp immediately became quiet.
Eve smiled happily and continued with her speech.
“Good, good. Then let’s begin the tutorial.”
A massive screen appeared next to her with a wave of her hand.
The screen depicted a map of the forest.
“Common sense no longer applies here. If you want to survive, you will have to do your best.”
Eve silently scanned those before her.
Her eyes eventually falling on a little girl which appeared to have a similar age to her.
“Hey, you. You’ve been living under your parents’ care your whole life, right?”
“Uh? Yes...”
The girl replied nervously.
Eve shook her fingers as she spoke.
“No, no. No need to be afraid. I’m trying to help.”
The girl looked at Eve blankly. Her innocence was clear as day.
“No need to be a good girl here. No one’s going to compliment you for doing good deeds. Well, you might get attacked for committing bad ones though.”
“What should I do, then?”
The girl raised her hand as she spoke.
Eve pointed at the map with the gun in her hand.
“You just need to survive. Also, if you manage to find some items in the forest, it’ll help you a great deal.”
“Like a treasure hunt?”
“Exactly, except that other people can steal your treasure, so you best be careful.”
The people at base camp were simply shocked upon hearing it.
Steal? From a little girl like her?
They weren’t able to understand Eve’s advice. After all, they simply had no idea what was waiting for them in the forest.
“Ah right, aside from the items, there are dangerous monsters in there as well, so don’t go around alone, ok? You should stick together if you don’t know how to fight.”
The little girl immediately paled upon hearing the word monster.
Eve snickered for a second before turning back to the rest of the crowd and then pointed at Woohyuk with her left hand.
“You there, you’ve been very calm from the start. Would you please come here for a bit?”
Everyone’s eyes landed on Woohyuk, who promptly nodded and stepped forward.
‘Same as last time.’
This was to be expected. He hadn’t done anything that would warrant any change just as of yet.
“You seem like a calm person, so I’ll give you a small test. I’ll bring a monster here, would you like to try defeating it? I’ll even give you a weapon to help you out.”
“Fine.”
A single dagger fell in front of him as soon as he voiced his agreement.
At the same time, a green-skinned goblin ran out of the forest. It was equipped with a poorly made leather armor and a crescent axe.
“M-monster!”
“Run!”
Eve sent out another warning seeing the crowd become agitated.
“Stay still and observe until the end of the tutorial, else I’ll put a bullet in your head.”
“....”
Everyone collectively stopped in their tracks and those who had ran relatively far quickly scuttled back nervously.
“Let’s continue.”
The goblin stepped forward with a snarl, causing the crowd to flinch back in fear.
Woohyuk was obviously bigger than the green creature, but the axe looked far more threatening compared to Woohyuk’s dagger.
Everyone thought that even if Woohyuk were to win, he’d be sure sustain great injuries.
Naturally, monsters would obviously be better in a fight than humans.
Whoosh!
The goblin’s axe cut through the air, aiming for Woohyuk’s right shoulder.
It was rather fast, but Woohyuk managed to dodge it fairly easily.
‘What a joke.’
His abilities may have been reset, but his battle prowess hadn’t gone anywhere.
He was easily able to predict the goblin’s movements simply based on its posture.
‘It’s been too long since I toyed around with one like this.’
Still, he didn’t let his guard down.
At this stage a single mistake could still be fatal.
Woohyuk quickly thrust a dagger into the goblin’s neck.
“Gyeeh!!”
Everyone’s eyes widened as the goblin went down with a squeal.
“He took it down so easily.”
“Does he know martial arts?”
Woohyuk crouched down, ignoring the crowd’s reaction.
He removed the monster’s armor and attempted to put it on.
“Is he really trying to wear that?”
“No way that’s going to fit.”
The goblin’s armor was far too small for Woohyuk.
