Adaptation

"Wha-what should we do now hyung-ssi?"

"If I knew what to do , would I still be standing around here?"

I was still in the state a shock.

When I give him this unconfident answer , Park Drok-gu shut up and quietly observed me.

Seeing that he don't speak anymore , despite his non-stop chattering since the start point incident , it seemed like he decides to acknowledge my words.

"We don't know exactly what's this place is now. We need to look around first."

"Y-you want to go outside?"

"Not right now."

"The-then you're saying that someday we will go outside?"

"I told you not right now."

We were in the hidden corner by the wall , which was hard to find in this.

It was a little cramped for me and him to squeeze together in here. But it wasn't so bad.

At list for now , it could provide us with a minimum assurance of safety.

'Water, food and weapons.'

We had those things , but I don't know if it was enough.

The question is , for how long we have to endure being here?

And is it really safe her?

I have a lot of think about.

"I never thought something like this could happen..."

"You saw the status window and the monsters , it's not an illusion. It's not a video game , it's reality.... But I also wish it were a dream."

"Yeah!"

The situation we were facing was. In fact , reality. I don't mention the events that happened at starting point. I'd actually seen people die and I'd even seen monsters I couldn't even begin to describe.

Denying reality wouldn't Change anything.

"The-the main goal of this tutorial is survival , right? I-I think that strange woman sayed so... Then if we keep hiding her..."

"It's not that simple."

"What else could it be?"

" The problem is we don't know how long this will last for. We took some food and water , but it's not enough for us to sit here for week. And there's no guaranty that this place is safe. Who knows where those monsters we saw earlier are hiding."

" You think so?"

"Yes , I think so. Even if we leave the tutorial now... how do we survive afterward's?"

"W-what are you talking about?"

"I'm not absolutely sure about it , But after this tutorial , we'll enter the place called continent. I mean this dungeon could be heaven compared to that. There's no guaranty that place we will end up in later will be safer than here. Simply hanging around here isn't going to cut for sure."

He calmed his mouth shut , because he couldn't deny my words.

If course, no one knew what would happen after this. But like that women said , if we were really chosen to save the continent. It won't end simply with us waiting the tutorial

out.

Not only may we have to face the monsters we saw earlier , but also fight with each other.

And we might face even more dire situations in the further.

"Right now , we're huddled up here , but when we finally leave , there is only one outcome anyway."

"Wh-what do you mean?"

"That we will have to fight."

"With those monsters?"

"Have you even played a video game?"

"I-is there even anyone in the world who has never played a video game?"

(Nice line piggy.)

"Status window, stats, title, equipments, occupation. Don't you think this terms sounds familiar? Imagine that you are in the game now. What do you think we should do?"

"I don't know..."

"Level up , become strong enough to defence ourselves. Strengthening your body and killing monsters will raise you stats and get you a class , like that women said. The attribution will naturally unlock , and while it will be hard , we wouldn't have to avoid those monsters anymore."

"Ah.."

"Before we run away , we picked up weapons, drinking water, and food. our situation is little better than others."

"Ye-yes , but!"

I know he didn't like the idea of leaving this safe corner.

In fact , all humans were the same.

What normal person would want to face man eating monsters?

But there was no choice. Eat or be eaten. Otherwise , you won't survive.

"This is what I think."

"Do you have any solution for this?"

"If you don't have a solution , you have to create one."

If you don't have a solution , you should create one. No , actually the solution for this problem is easier than one would think.

"We can kill them."

"But how do you defeat a man eating monster...?"

If you think about it , it's not like we have no way to win against them.

I don't remember much from the first battle.

Anyone would be scared stiff , if a wave of monsters suddenly attacked from all over.

However , I still vividly remembered that sensation passing through my hand.

That creepy feeling when a spare pierced flesh.I don't stab at it with much strength.

But my spare still pierced its skin so easily.

My mind was clouded by fear. In that movement , I was scared of monsters I'd never seen before and lost the will to fight.

I lost it , Park Deok-gu next to me lost it and everyone else also lost it.

"But it's not like we have no way to win against those monsters."

If you think about it rationally , it's not like we can't win.

"You have to think about it in a simple way. As simple as possible."

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't be afraid. You need to look at them the way they are. Of course , it won't be easy. I'm also shacking right now , and I don't know what to do exactly. You and I are the same. But we are not surrounded or ambushed from behind , we still stand chance. There skin is soft and they aren't particularly arthritic. None of them follow us when we run away. All of them rushed at one into that room we were in before. many people die at the starting point or whatever , because they were outnumbered. Everyone was also terrified and so couldn't react in a timely way."

Nothing was certain until I saw it with my own eyes.

But I think my guess might be right.

compare to physical abilities of humans. They were equipped with sharp jaws and claws.

Those are there physical advantages.

Unlike those butt-***** monsters , we have spare and sword within the reach of our hand. In fact , it's no exaggeration to say that we were ahead of them in everything.

"If you think about it calmly , we can win."

The problem was that Park Deok-gu couldn't see the big picture.

Even after my expansion , he was anxiously swallowing his saliva.

"Idiot!"

It was than.

'Geeek.' (so ugly --_--.)

We don't know if they were creatures which move in herds or separately.

But the sound was getting closer.

"It's coming here?"

"Shit..."

I cursed in my head.

'Can I do it?'

We would have to face it anyways.

It feel like someone was squeezing into my heart , but I ignore it and but my lip.

Because I know that if we avoided this here , we would never escaped this predicament of fear.

"Mind eye!"

[ [ [ [ [Checking The status window of monster crawfish. ]

I checked his information through the narrow gap where we were hiding.

'It worked.'

The ability could also be used on monsters.

That was a tiny piece of good news.

'I can win.'

I had to overcome my fear.

I don't get a good look at it before , but I could tell it defiantly looks gross (same lol).

Apart from the ***** torso and lost body. It had green eyes and protruding jaw and teeth.

I recall in my head how , earlier , the same kind of monsters bit the neck of a woman whose name I don't know with those jaws and teeth.

'However.'

Those are some terrible stats. (Of course it is , because he is just a 5 year old kid --_--)

It was not like I was in the position to judge those stats as terrible , but they were defiantly lower than I imagined.

That should do it.

I put more strength into the hand holding a spear.

Park Deok-gu look at me nervously , but I had no intention of backing off now.

I had to show him that we could win.

"Ma-maybe it's better to not go out?"

"..."

I didn't answer.

Because my back was sorak with sweat. My hands and legs were trembling.

'Damn...'

If I make mistake here I'll die.

But I can't stay like this forever. sooner or later , eventually.... I would have to face those guys.

"Even if I don't go out I will die."

I took a deep breath , and immediately rushed out.

"Geeek!"

"Damn it!"

I expected it to notice me at some point , but it was faster than I thought.

Naturally , I thought I should swing the spare at the same time when it moves.

But my hand don't move as I wish , fear stiff my body.

"Ahhhh!"

In the end I had no choice but to raise my spare towards the head of the approaching monster , screaming like some kind of

devil -worshipper.

As if it expect this attack , the monsters leaned straight down.

Changing the course of the spare wasn't easy. As I tightened the trembling hold on the shaft and lower the spare again , accidentally struck it in its shoulder.

"Gaeeek!"

phew!

The feeling of tearing through flash was unsettling , and I almost dropped my spare , but I have no time to be dazed.

"Ahhh!"

when I pushed the spare more deeper , the monster jerk out and hit the wall. (wow)

I frowned at the sight of struggling creature , but without wasting any more time , I grabbed nearby stone and started smashing it's head with it.

Although I broke my fingernail while doing it , but I couldn't feel any pain.

"Shit! Shit! Shit!"

Smash!

Strange the mucus and blood splashing out on my hand and body , creeping me out.

I couldn't stop my moving hand.

"Shit!"

Smash!

"Die!"

"Gaeeek.."

Smash!

"Haah.."

After it's face turned into a bloody mess , I was finally able to dope the big stone I was gripping in my hand.

"Haah...haah..."

My heart was betting faster and my breathing were heavy. My hand were covered with its saliva and blood.

It was the first time I'd kill something alive.

When I shakily raised mine head , and eyes mit with Park Deok-gu's who look at me through the narrow gap in the wall.

There was surprise in his eyes. (oh my were they beautiful? lol)

He really didn't think I could do it.

I also didn't think I could.

[ strength stat increased by 1.]

My expectations were correct.

Park Deok-gu casually open his mouth and

"What's your name?"

..."Lee kiyoung." (In korean language *giyeong and *kiyoung sound same.)...

"Ki-kiyoung , can I call you hyung nim."

Instead of answering , I give him small nod.

Only

He was looking at me in a strange way (*ohh my so cute). I looked straight at him and said.

"If I can do it , you can do it too. No, you can do it batter."

"I think I know what you mean (*finally). Kiyoung hyung nim , leave it to me. Then , what do we do from now on?"

It seems this guy I picked wasn't so bad after all.

There was still a lot of work to do.

I looked at him , and opened my mouth.

"For now , let's try to escape from here."

Obtaining a class. that's the first think in the list.
