The Place Where Everything Begins

Four hours later...

Jeremy, who had been sitting cross-legged at the chamber's corner, suddenly opened his eyes. His ice-cold blue eyes seemed to be radiating chilling rays into the air...

*Fwuu...*

He let out a long breath from his mouth...

'What an arduous job. At last, I had only repaired around twenty percent of the overall damages. That means I need to do it four more times before my sea of consciousness gain back its original shape again.' Jeremy thought to himself fleetingly.

Afterward, he popped his head outside the tent to look around the chamber that was now pretty quiet...

'It seems like most of them are sleeping, huh. Well, they should be fatigued, after all.'

Having thought so, Jeremy retracted his head back before zipping up the tent zipper. He also wanted to take a rest like them.

'Let's take a short nap...'

After thinking so, Jeremy put the cushion back in and brought out a pillow from the left glove.

Not long after, the light and rhythmic breathing sounds resounded out from the isolated black tent at the back left corner of the tutorial chamber...

...

One and a half hours later...

Within the spacious tutorial chamber with a large green crystal floating silently in the middle, a big group of people stood in a crescent shape at the right corner in the far back while firmly holding onto their weapons.

Some people appeared nervous, some were distressed, some were disturbed, and some were afraid.

None of them showed positive feelings or lively expressions at all, as they waited patiently to celebrate once and for all after all this shit tutorial ended.

The place where those people stood right now was actually the corner where the 'ward' used to be situated...

Then where were the patients and the wounded?

Well, those people were currently lying neatly close to one another at the corner while having big shields made of woods covered them thoroughly, not letting any monsters have a chance to see what was behind the covers at all.

Meanwhile, in front of the 'covers' situated more than six people of old and young ages. They were actually those elderlies and kids 'forced' into battling for their own lives. Right now, they were holding some crossbows and a long sharp pole in their hands shakily.

Although those kids and elderlies felt terrified at the incoming bloodbath and gore, they had no choice but to fight for their own good.

It was fortunate that the kids were at least more than 12 years of age, for they could at least hold weapons to defend themselves when the dangers came towards them.

Regarding the kids younger than 12 years teleported from Earth, they were currently handled by the 'organizers' differently from the rest of the Earth's population.

At this moment, in front of those kids and elderlies were the actual combatants who would have to fight and confront the monsters head-on.

Every one of those combatant people looked just like the warriors and knights from Earth's middle ages. They were armed with full gears consisting of leather, iron, bronze, and steel from head to toe.

The things they were wearing, after all, were the hard-earned gears received from spending their precious Survival Points gained from the past seven waves of monsters.

Lastly, the first defense line situated at the front and foremost of the crescent-shaped formation were... the barricades and traps made of woods and iron sheets.

They were crafted and built to become strong enough to hold those monsters in place long enough for the combatants behind the barricades and traps to kill them.

No doubt, this lineup formation was Jeremy's idea once again.

Rather than dividing their fighting force into two portions in front of the two passageways, Jeremy had proposed Mitchell gather everyone at one place instead.

As for Jeremy himself...

At this time, he was neither inside the ward nor at the crescent formation, as he was actually standing alone at the left passageway's entrance... alone...

That's right; he intended to take on the entire passageway all by himself.

At that time, Jeremy had proposed such an outrageous defensive lineup for only one purpose, for he could earn as much SP as possible from the battle.

Regarding the survival of those people, it was just a plus...

In the first place, Jeremy had wanted Eddie to survive anyway, for Eddie was his past life's savior. How could he forget such a life-saving grace?

So, other people surviving along with Eddie was no problem at all...

'Eddie... We will break even after finishing this wave. So, your survival from now on is up to you...' Jeremy thought while staring at the dark passageway in front of him.

Ever since the moment everyone stepped foot into this place, Jeremy had more or less changed the people's fate in this tutorial chamber...

'The ones, who should have died, survived...'

'The ones, who should have survived, died instead, huh...'

Having thought of Skylar, who had died, and Benjamin, who was in a coma, Jeremy could only shake his head slightly.

After all, those people should still be safe and sound even after the sixth wave ended, but it was totally different this time...

Then Jeremy turned his head towards the floating Crystal. To be exact, he was looking at the countdown timer above the Crystal...

'One minute left...'

Afterward, Jeremy looked past the Crystal towards the corner at the far end; he saw many layers of barricades and traps lined up one after another in front of the people.

It would be quite a hassle even for Jeremy if he truly wanted to cross those obstructions to battle with those people.

'They look pretty hilarious. I wonder how much SP had they spent on those woods and iron things.'

Having thought so in amusement and, Jeremy turned back to the sight in front of him.

Well, the goblins weren't so stupid to be stalled with those things for long, for they could use fire torches to burn the woods down...

Upon turning his head and seeing that it was pitch black inside the passageway, Jeremy wondered,

'The barrier that prevents anyone from going out but only allows people to come inside... Hmm... I wonder if 'those people' are inside this passageway or not. Nevertheless, I have to wait and see till the end...'

Time flew by quickly...

00:00:00:03...

00:00:00:02...

00:00:00:01...

『 Be prepared. The eighth horde of monsters is coming. Good luck. 』
