The Place Where Everything Begins

After being teleported into the cave-like room which was considered as the real tutorial place, everyone's status window would have an additional option which was 'Mission' that its content could be viewed by willing it using their mind.

Right now, Jeremy was checking his main missions of the tutorial...

...

『 Tutorial Mission: Survive I』

⎯ Survive until only 15 people remains (★)

⎯ Survive 10 monster hordes (★★)

⎯ Complete 4 missions from the Survival Crystal (★★★)

⎯ Find and use a secret teleportation circle (★★★★)

⎯ Kill a no-named foot soldier of Noir Keista (★★★★★)

⎯ ??? (✰)

『 After finishing one of the tutorial missions, you can choose to be teleported into the next stage.』

...

After seeing that the content of the main missions from the tutorial remained the same. Jeremy walked unhurriedly to the floating light green Survival Crystal at the center of the room.

But soon he realized that most people were swarming the crystal, giving no room for him to touch the crystal at all.

After all, the space around the crystal was limited, but everyone wanted to see its content with their own eyes.

Soon, the commotions broke out within the vicinity of the crystal...

"Hey! Let me in first, I want to see it. You... f*ck off!!"

A man in his 30s with casual clothes was the one who started the chaotic mess.

"You come later than us, why don't you wait in line for your own turn?"

A woman in her 40s who had been to the crystal faster said directly to the impudent man. However, that would only make the entire situation getting even worse.

*Sigh*

Jeremy let out a light sigh, he already knew what would have happened in the next few seconds from his previous life.

After the man bickered back at the woman, other 30 people who also didn't come fast enough to touch the crystal would start to get irritated for fear that good items and good missions would be snatched by those early people.

However, the people who had come in contact early with the crystal wouldn't back down and tell those late people to wait in line.

After that, came the shouts, pushes and pulls, until finally violence being commenced right after that.

And when the commotion died down, those people would be divided into 2 main groups and many small groups.

That was only the start of tragedy that would befall them in the name of monster hordes...

If it was in normal situations like staying in line for the queue on Earth, the circumstances wouldn't get escalated until that point. At most, those late people would feel upset and complain to those early people. Afterwards, they would wait in line for their respective queue.

However...

Everyone of them had just experienced the bizarre and horror like situations causing them to be irrational and reckless.

That's why the matters would escalate into a huge mess of a violence.

Until, they divided themselves into groups...

When he finished preparing the spell, Jeremy casted the two spells at almost the same time. They were a 'Sleep Spell' and a 'Hush Spell' causing the people to suddenly feel sleepy and sluggish.

Together with the quietness from the surroundings inducing from the 'Hush Spell', not even 10 seconds later, everyone except for Jeremy fell asleep at the place where they were standing before.

It was quite good that they had flopped down onto the ground first before going to sleep later. Otherwise, if they fell head-first onto the ground, they might just get a bloody head as a result of that.

For normal people like them who had not even become a class 0 Scholar, Fighter, Soldier, Archer, etc. It was as easy as breathing for Jeremy to put them under his arsenal of spells.

They didn't have anything to defend or fend off Jeremy's spells at all...

Then Jeremy walked up to the floating crystal while casting his 'Mana Barrier Spell' to push away those people whom were lying in front of him.

Every step he took was steady, every step he took had pushed away yet another person out of his path.

Just like that, he reached the crystal, and then touched it to take a look at the items on the shelf.

...

Right in front of Jeremy, a transparent interface with 3 options was suddenly projected there.

[Shop]

[Mission]

[Leaderboard]

Then Jeremy willed about the [Mission] option. Simultaneously after, the interface was changed into a new one which was currently focusing only on various missions from the Survival Crystal.

As for the missions' content, they were divided into 2 sections, 6 by 4. As a result, there were exactly 6 missions for the first section, 4 missions for the second section, and those missions were arranged from the easiest mission at the top till the hardest mission at the bottom.

Starting from the first section which was to kill 10 skeleton soldiers, kill 10 imps, kill 8 wolves, kill 5 goblins, kill 5 humans, and kill 2 hobgoblins.

Then the second section contained 4 missions. Those missions were to pass the easy difficulty door, pass the normal difficulty door, pass the hard difficulty door, and lastly, ???.

The last mission was actually written in 3 question marks which meant that everyone had to explored it by their own accord.

That was... if they were able to complete it in the first place...

All of the missions had a specific number of Survival Point or in short, SP being displayed behind the mission titles.

Began with killing 10 skeleton soldiers, they would get 400 SP by completing the mission. This didn't even include the SP they would get from killing an individual skeleton soldier as of yet. It meant that if they were to successfully finish this mission, they would get more than just 400 SP.

Moreover, the harder the mission was, the higher the SP they would get from completing it. Except for the last mission, that was '???', the reward they would get from completing it was actually written as '???' as well.

Furthermore, from the arrangement of the 2 sections' missions, it could only be said that exploring missions were harder than killing missions because the exploring missions were situated right below the killing missions.

'Hmmm... mission number 1 to 6 were about killing the lowest and low rank organism. As for mission number 7 to 10, they were about exploring this place. Nothing is out of place here... Let's check the [Shop] option then.'

When he finished scrutinizing the missions, Jeremy went on to access into the items that could be bought by using SP.

After all, it was already a very long time ago that he had undergone the tutorial.

Right now, he was even wondering that, would he be able to recall those items' information from his sea of consciousness or not. Let's assume that he could, still, it might require a very hard effort from him, and it might have put a heavy burden upon his mind for no reason.

So, for something like this, he better checked it himself if he could do it with less effort than accessing to it by using his sea of consciousness.

After Jeremy willed about the [Shop] option, there were 2 options left which were [Buy] and [Sell]. For now, he didn't want to sell anything. So, he accessed into the [Buy] option, the interface was changed once again.

Currently, there were 4 options to be chosen from. They were...

[Weapons]

[Clothes]

[Miscellaneous]

[Skills]

After seeing the 4 options, Jeremy decided to ignore [Weapons], [Clothes], and [Miscellaneous] for now, because within the [Weapons] option, there were only common rank items which were a whopping 2 ranks below his rare ranked staff.

Furthermore, he also had his own steel spear for close combat which was also ranked at a very high grade for a common rank item.

As for [Clothes] option, there was only clothing related stuffs necessary for a person to wear and change daily. There was no magical clothing within the shop at all.

Even if there was one, everyone right here wouldn't have enough SP to buy it anyway. Its price should be sky-high as an Eiffel Tower.

At most, there should be some good grade armors to fend off the various physical attacks that they would be receiving from the monsters' claws.

As for [Miscellaneous] option, within this one, there were various personal care products starting from toothpaste, shampoo, soap, foods, rations, tent, lipstick, powder, toilet, and even small hut.

This one was quite special because it contained necessary items, such as toilet, and small hut which had water system and waste disposal system within. It was like this because everyone here needed to attend to their routine 'activities'...

That's why, there were more than one thousand items in this option of which Jeremy had already prepared his own miscellaneous items, that was... except for the toilet...

Concurrently, Jeremy was using mind command to access into the [Skills] option. Instantly after, the interface was changed into a new one.

Right now, there was a long row list of skills projected on the interface. Looking at the right top corner of the interface, Jeremy saw a number of 186. That meant, there were 186 skills that were currently purchasable.

Additionally, behind those skills, there were numbers stating the remaining buyable times that could be bought from, and behind those numbers, there stated the price of each skill ranging from the cheapest one at the top until the most expensive one at the bottom.

Unsurprisingly, most skills right there were passive skills with only some active skills which were mostly mingled in the middle and last section of the skills.

Jeremy was currently scrolling down while skimming the skill names.

He saw many skills being projected passing by his retinas, such as fishing skill, boxing skill, sword wielding skill, spear wielding skill, cooking skill, talking skill, stealth skill, and many more.

The sounds of sword wielding or stealth skill might seem awesome at first glance, but Jeremy knew that they were only at the very basic level of which the person who bought those skills had to hone and train in them for a very long time before they could level them up further.

So, Jeremy ignored most of the skills that could be easily acquired by putting in some efforts for now.

He kept scrolling down and down, passing the middle section, but he still saw nothing that might be useful for him.

Right when he was scrolling down casually, not expecting to see anything that would be able to surprise him anymore.

Jeremy's eyes abruptly widened...
