TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

Chapter 3: Fighting for the first time

Shuooo...

A light shone and the young man appeared.

"What is this place?" Looking around, the young man saw that he was in a kind of corridor in an old medieval castle.

The skies were dark and thunder lit the sky. There was no rain.

The strange and heavy climate hung over the place.

"Is this some kind of virtual reality game? No. This is impossible. I remember that I entered the island. It looks like those strange lights transported me here. "The young man looked around and saw nothing.

The only thing he can do is move on.

The young man walked carefully to see if there were any traps in the place. After a few minutes, he realized that there was nothing there, just an empty corridor.

"What is it?" In the middle of the corridor, the young man saw that there was a wooden shield on the floor. He took it and held it with one hand.

The shield was not very heavy, but carrying it for a long time was tiring.

"It looks like it's just a normal shield" The young man kept the shield and kept walking. He kept it on his back to keep from holding on and getting his hand tired.

A few steps later, the young man saw various types of weapons on the ground, sword, dagger, ax, bow and arrow, a giant sword, glove with a blade attached. These were the weapons that can be chosen.

"What do I get?" The young man took the sword to try. The sword was as common as any other.

Slash ... Slash ... Slash ...

"The sword has a medium weight and is sharp."

Slash ... Slash ...

"The dagger is very light and very sharp"

"The ax is a little heavy"

The young man tried all the weapons, he wanted to see which one was the most suitable for him. In the end, he was in doubt between the sword and the dagger.

His lean and weak body does not allow him to carry much weight in his hands for a long time. The blade glove was a viable option, but he needed a strong wrist to attack.

"Can I get these two weapons?" The young man tried to pick up the sword and dagger at the same time. A weapon in each hand.

"It looks like there are no problems ..." Before he could finish speaking his thoughts.

Pang ...

The wooden shield on his back fell to the ground when the young man held his sword and dagger at the same time.

"It seems that I can only choose one of the weapons ... I think I will take the sword because of the range. It is much better than the dagger, although it has a little more weight "The young man put the dagger back and took the shield.

The sword was dragged across the floor while the shield was on its back. So, he doesn't need to use too much arm strength.

The walk continued for some time. At the end of the hall was an old steel door.

The door was pushed and the other side was shown, an empty room with only a chair, a table, and a book.

"What is it?" The young man entered the room and looked at the book.

General Guide. This is the title of the book.

The young man began to read the book very carefully, as it is very important for him to discover many things about the Dark Continent.

"For those who are reading this book, here is written the basic information of the Dark Continent.

Tutorial - The tutorial serves only to show the basics of what you will face on the continent.

During the tutorial, you can die as many times as you want. But once out of the tutorial, if you die, your life is over.

Living beings that live on the continent have magical powers and can evolve by defeating the creatures that inhabit the continent.

These are the following status that can be improved by evolving: Strength, Agility, Vitality, and Intelligence.

These are the four fundamental attributes of the beings' bodies.

Strength - The physical body gets stronger and improves power.

Agility - The body is lighter and has a faster reaction speed.

Vitality - Increases the power of recovery from injuries and the resistance of the physical body.

Intelligence - Improves reasoning ability and mental power.

Evolution - Whenever you evolve, you will receive a point to distribute in one of the attributes above. For every five levels, you will receive two points. Every ten levels, you will get one skill point. Skill points are used to improve a skill you have.

The starter village - There are a total of five starting villages where new inhabitants can choose to live. Each of these villages has its own peculiarity. Each village is in a part on the edge of the continent.

Village A - The village is surrounded by mutant beasts.

Village B - The village is surrounded by mutant sea beasts.

Village C - The village is surrounded by mutant desert beasts.

Village D - The village is surrounded by horrendous demons.

Village E - The village is surrounded by carnivorous zombies.

As long as you are below level 10, that is, up to level 9. You cannot be attacked by other players under any circumstances, either directly or indirectly.

The creatures do not invade the initial village. They are far away and can only reach ten meters from the village.

Fight to survive. Explore the continent.

End.

"It looks like this is really a strange kind of game. But there is no such thing as Save, we only have one life. Dying here is like dying for real. " That was the young man's thinking, but what he didn't understand was how such a game was created.

"Is this some kind of government experiment? No, this is impossible ... No country has enough resources to create a large continent like this and put these rules in place. This is something beyond logic. This continent must have many secrets. That's why the military is using condemned people as a guinea pig, but why are normal people like me included, too? Why are they also kidnapping normal people to send to this place? " The young man did not know what was happening. He could only continue to speculate.

creak...

The sound of a metal door opening was heard after the young man finished reading the book.

He looked to the side and saw an exit. This did not exist before.

"It seems that the way is to continue. That is my only way to stay alive "The young man decided that he would do his best to stay alive in the new world.

As he walked through the door, the young man saw that the other side was a small fighting coliseum. The coliseum was the size of a soccer field, but round.

Pang Zzzzzz Pang Zzzzzz Pang Zzzzzzzz

The sounds of heavy footsteps were heard, something big was stomping on the ground while something was being dragged at the same time.

creak...

The sound of the metal door was heard. On the other side of the coliseum, a door was opened.

A large shadow appeared inside. Seconds later, something appeared. A three-meter-tall creature with only one eye, it was holding a large wooden club.

(A cyclops !!!!) The young man was shocked when he saw the cyclops. He never imagined that he would see such a mythological creature in person.

"Defeat your opponent to complete the tutorial and receive your reward" A mechanical voice was heard when the Cyclops appeared.

"Garrrrr !!!!" The Cyclops roared and ran towards the young man as he dragged the heavy wooden club.

"Shit!!!" The young man cursed. He never fought before. He never imagined that his first fight would be against a creature that exists only in legends and games.

Shuooo !!!!

The cyclops rocked the wooden club horizontally in an attempt to hit the young man. He rolled over and dodged.

Shuooo !!!!

Another swing from the club. The young man rolled onto its side again. He managed to get out of sight of the cyclops.

The Cyclops was a little lost because it was not seeing its opponent. Because of having only one eye, its vision was limited.

(It seems that its weak point is the same as in games. The one eye is the flaw. I can do that!!!) The young man shouted mentally.

The young man walked and stood behind the cyclops while it was trying to locate the young man. Whenever the Cyclops took a step, the young man followed and continued behind. That was the only way not to be located by the cyclops.

"Arg !!! Arg !!! " The Cyclops was irritated because it did not find the young man. It started swinging the wooden club from side to side at random.

The young man continued behind the cyclops and thinking about how to defeat it.

(What can I do to defeat this thing? The sword is sharp, but I don't know if I can cut through the tough skin of this cyclops. If I could hit its eye ...) The young man thought of an idea to try to attack the single eye of the cyclops. That was the weakest point in its body.

(Time to test) The young man put the shield on his back and held the sword in both hands. He wanted to strike hard and hinder the Cyclops.

(Now !!!) The young man screamed mentally and pierced the cyclops back with the sword.

Slash!!!!

Pang !!!!!
