... ... Ten ... ... Nine ... ... Eight ... ... Seven ... ...
As time ticked closer second by second, Naoh couldn't help but become nervous, his chest rising and falling unevenly, his mouth unconsciously starting to count down the seconds.
His slightly large eyes were fixed on every change of the electronic clock.
"Ding! The Multiversal Hunting System is activated. After detecting that the host is in good condition and the environment is hidden, the novice mission can be officially started. May I ask if the host wants to enter the novice world immediately?"
Finally, when the last second of the electronic clock came to an end, a screen of light suddenly jumped out in front of Naoh, and a pair of eyes similar to his, but painted with blood-colored smoky makeup, appeared there, looking even more uncanny.
Looking at these eyes, Naoh was immediately startled, and unconsciously felt a burst of dizziness in front of him, as if his entire mind was about to sink into it.
However, he quickly recovered, pondering the system's previous words in his mind.
"Multiversal… Hunting System… I didn't expect that this would be the most troublesome kind. It feels a bit aloof~"
With the change of mind, the corners of Naoh's mouth curved into a relieved smile.
"But that's right, the Marvel side is a high-risk world. As a transmigrator, it would be very troublesome to survive here without some special skills.
Speaking of which~ This novice mission shouldn't be too difficult, right? As for the novice world… Wait a minute!"
Looking at the pair of eyes opposite him, Naoh subconsciously squeezed the kitchen knife in his hand, then slipped off the bed and strode out of the bedroom.
In the mirror was a slightly thin teenager, about 1.75 meters tall, with wheat-colored skin, wearing black sportswear, and short, neat hair.
As the light flowed, a few rare traces of fortitude appeared on a face that still had some childishness.
"I'm ready, let's start!"
"Swish~!"
At the moment when he finished speaking, his entire person suddenly disappeared from the room.
Then, there was a burst of messy clanging sounds.
The kitchen knife that Naoh had been holding tightly in his hand, and the backpack on his back, also fell to the ground with the disappearance of their owner…
… …
With a flash of light, Naoh only felt a change of light and shadow in front of him, and then appeared in an unfamiliar place.
This was a forest with soft light. The surrounding vegetation was lush, the trees were tall and strong, and there were also a few brightly colored small flowers scattered among the shade of the trees and green grass, a scene of prosperity.
"Inhale… Exhale… Hmm~ It's a bit oxygen drunk. My whole body is numb. System, where is this?"
Coming to this strange place for the first time, Naoh vigilantly looked around, and after confirming that there was no danger, he quickly leaned back against a straight and wide tree trunk.
Looking at his empty hands and back, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth a few times, and while feeling helpless, he could only accept the reality.
Fortunately, the clothes and shoes are still there…
"The host's current location is the Simulation World Alpha-01. The purpose of this novice world is survival and adaptation. The system mission has now been issued. Please check it yourself."
"Simulation?"
Hearing this, Naoh's eyes lit up, but then he showed a look of suspicion, subconsciously looking around, and then looking at the thick trees behind him.
The plants in front of him had gnarled and strong roots, even piercing out of the ground. Although the trunk was straight, the surface of the bark was also gnarled and full of wrinkles.
"This doesn't look like pixels at all, does it? System, is this really the Simulation world?"
"Please explore on your own, host!"
"Okay, whatever you say. But since it's a simulation, it's easy to handle. I used to play survival games a lot, although I never understood the advanced tech stuff.
But if it's just about surviving here, it shouldn't be a big problem~"
Thinking of this, the string in Naoh's heart that had been a little tense finally slowly relaxed.
Looking up at the sun hanging in the middle of the sky, he clenched his fists, and a hint of excitement arose in the depths of his eyes.
"In any case, the novice period is always crucial. As long as I can get through it safely, things will be easier in the future! And for a survival game-like world—
Collecting various materials is undoubtedly the most important thing. How does that saying go~"
"To get rich, first chop trees! just like that mine%$# game"
Immediately, Naoh's eyes shone like electricity, and he raised his iron fists and gave the tree trunk full of ravines in front of him a series of standard, crazy swings!
The sounds of shouting were endless.
However, after this guy outputted a dozen punches with some self-forgetfulness, his entire person suddenly froze there, his face turning blue and red, and his facial features twisting non-stop.
Looking at Naoh's fists again, they were already all skinned, and a trace of blood was slowly flowing from the wound.
"Hiss~ Ah! ! !"
With a scream, Naoh trembled and protected his hands, slowly squatting down on the ground.
For a time, sweat grew between his brows, and his teeth were gnashing.
"Damn! Damn it! Damn… …"
After silently howling and enduring for a few minutes, Naoh slowly regained his sanity and gradually calmed down.
"System, what's going on!?"
"System?"
"System, get out here!"
"I promise I won't beat you to death!"
… …
Naoh called for a long time, but he never got a response. The burning pain in his fists, but a belly of anger nowhere to vent, this feeling of frustration and annoyance almost made him want to jump and curse!
However, soon, Naoh's heart sank, and he secretly thought of a certain possibility.
The string behind his head that had been relaxed, could not help but tighten again.
With a thought, he concentrated on analyzing the situation in front of him.
"This should, probably, not be an accident."
"… Chopping trees is a function in the game. Not being able to chop trees means… I can't use the functions in the game?"
"Could it be that I have come to this world as a natural person, and I don't have the abilities of a game character."
"Without the abilities of the game character, I can't collect various materials, and I can't make various tools, weapons, and armor. The heaven-defying creation module in those games can't be used either… …"
Thinking of this, Naoh's face suddenly stiffened, and then he hesitantly opened his mouth and said.
"Inventory… Come out!"
"Sure enough, there's nothing… How am I supposed to play this?"
You must know that the simulation world in front of you is not a peaceful one. In addition to various beasts and predators, once the sun goes down, all kinds of threats could emerge.
Like zombies, dangerous mutants spiders , lurking synthetic creatures, and more!
Moreover, these threats may randomly appear nearby after dark, almost impossible to defend against.
If it were a game character, he could use various function settings to fight them. Now Naoh is just an unarmed natural person, a pure newbie, how is he supposed to play?
"Is this really a novice world?"
