2 A New Beginning - 2nd chapter
"That's all take care." After the god of knowledge said this everything went black.
[1 hour later]
I finally woke up , and the first thing I saw was ...
Nobody?
It seems that the teleportation was random and I got sent in middle of nowhere , well for all I can say is that I am in some kind of a forest. It looks pretty similar to Earth , I also received some kind of a starting kit from the god.
[Received 1 iron-sword D grade]
[Received sleeping bag]
[Received 5 cans of canned beans]
[Received two 1 liter glass bottles of water]
[Received 1 Medkit]
[Received 1 Lighter]
[Received 1 Dagger E grade]
A voice resounded in my head , it was a pretty calming voice.
[Do you want to check your status?]
It asked me a Question?
"Yes I want to check my status."
When I said that a tab appeared in front of me like from a game.
STATUS:

So these are my basics stats , it seems that if I level
up I will be able to raise them.
Rank F hmm... i wonder what decides my rank , but I assume the stronger I get the higher rank I will get.
Job and Title not sure what does that mean but I will find out soon enough I think.
There is equipment and weapons but what is interesting are relics , I have no clue what that is but probably some special items which you can only have up to 5 at once , because it's saying 0/5.
But the real question is [Number of Players] for now I am going to assume that the number means how many of us are here from the Earth.
Well let's see what this Inventory is about
(I clicked on open Inventory)
[Are you sure you want to open Inventory?]
"Yes"
[Inventory]
[Storage 3/10]
[Note: the higher your Endurance the more Items you can store]
"Close inventory"
[Closing inventory]
"Open skill tree"
[Error: skill tree can only be opened once you reach level 15]
"Close status"
Alright , now I know the basics , there is some kind of system that is helping us people from Earth which is pretty useful a Inventory a skill tree and statistics.
I guess I should find some kind of high ground to spend the night at and I could also see some other people from there because there might be someone around. I could scream but I don't want any monsters to show up.
I started going around the forest and gathered some wood and put it into my Inventory
(15 minutes later)
[Inventory is full]
It seems that the storage in inventory works not in the amount of items that i store but in the amount of weight they have. I realized this because I gathered definitely more than 10 pieces of wood but they were pretty small and almost all of them fit in the inventory.
I threw out the ones that I couldn't store.
(10 minutes later)
I found a hill that's about 10 meters tall and there are only few trees at the top. So i went up the hill and when I reached the top I started looking around for other people. It was almost sunset so I couldn't see very well but I was looking for light. I thought that someone might have perhaps already started a campfire but I was wrong.
After looking around for 5 minutes and not seeing anyone or anything I decided to create my own campfire but I had to set it up in a way that it could cook the canned beans.
And after 15 minutes of thinking and creating the campfire I did it I successfully created a campfire and put my beans on it. The cover said that they shouldn't be directly on fire and that I should first open it , which makes sense.
I did as the "tutorial" said and then ate. It was nothing much but I had no time to be picky.
After I ate I also drank some water and then I put out the campfire , so that I wouldn't draw in any wild animals or monsters but... it was too late.
Just when I finished...
[ WARNING: HOSTILE MONSTER IN CLOSE AREA]
I instantly pulled out my sword and dagger and started looking around it was quite dark so I couldn't see pretty well , but I could feel it there was something in the shadows. The fire didn't go completely out so I could see somewhat but still It wasn't too good.
And suddenly
(bite)
[WARNING HEALTH DROPPED BY 20]
[WARNING YOUR HEALTH WILL DROP BY 1 EVERY MINUTE UNTIL YOU WILL PATCH YOUR WOUND]
[Current Health 99/120]
My right Leg got bitten by a Wolf and it let go quickly but now I could see it quite well , because above it's head I could see
[Dire Wolf] [Grade E]
Grade E that means that I am weaker than this single wolf , but there is Huge difference between us because I have a D-grade sword and a Dagger and I am also more intelligent which means.
I CAN WIN
I started quickly thinking but the wolf jumped and dashed towards me. I quickly reacted and threw my Dagger at it. I hit the wolf with the blunt side of the knife but it was in the head so it still took some damage and the wolf has fallen back.
After this I took my sword in two hands and charged towards the wolf. I swinged and the wolf jumped back and then dashed towards me , but the sword I was wielding wasn't heavy because it's one handed and I quickly swung back and hit the wolf.
It started bleeding from neck but the cut wasn't deep enough so I charged again I slashed and this time the wolf side-stepped , I have no clue how but it happened , I quickly started doing thrusting attacks with my sword but the wolf was evading all of them.
Then the wolf attacked again , but that was a mistake. While we were fighting I actually managed to pick up the dagger I threw but the wolf didn't notice it and while it dashed I quickly released my sword , drew the dagger and stabbed it right through the neck.

I was really Happy that I took it Down but the first thing I did is that I used my medkit because my leg was bleeding.
I opened it and there was some disinfectant bottle so I used that , it hurt but that didn't matter. After this I patched it Up with bandages , thankfully the wound isn't too bad so it should heal in few days.
Now then time to check my messages and status

After this I was too exhausted and I went to sleep without even using my sleeping bag.
(The next day)
I woke up just when the sun started to rise , I have no idea what time is it.
The first thing I did after I woke up was looking around once again for some people. After looking around for few minutes , nothing. But I actually saw a river which I didn't see yesterday because it was too dark. I decided to go to the river , to see if the water is clear/drinkable. On my way there I saw something pretty surprising , I saw a put out campfire which means that there was someone here. But why didn't i see it yesterday?
When I reached the river I looked at the water and realized that there is no way that this is drinkable , and I have only one glass bottle of water left , which means that I have to find water quickly.
I started heading in only one direction this way I'd eventually end up out of the forest and maybe there would be something or someone that could help me.
(2 hours later)
I was starting to get worried because I walked for too long but eventually I found the edge of the forest and I reached some kind of plains of sort.
(Note: Plains are flat land that generally does not change much in elevation, and is primarily treeless.)
And to my luck I saw someone far away who looked like human but that's all I could say from this distance. We are atleast 2 kilometres away from each other so I am not sure if screaming would help but I tried.
"HEYYYYYYY YOU THERE CAN YOU HEAR ME"
No response , the person just kept going forward , but I needed to catch up somehow... but how? I was pretty exhausted from walking for so long and my leg still hurts from yesterday. Although thanks to increasing my endurance by 5 I can already feel that my stamina is better.
I decided to start walking towards the person at faster pace than they were walking , I assumed that I would catch up because the sun will eventually start setting and that person will probably set up a campfire.
( 10 minutes later )
I closed the gap between us a little bit and I decided to shout again...
"HEE---"
[WARNING HOSTILE MONSTER IN CLOSE AREA]
WHAT? WHERE? I quickly started looking around like the last time but I didn't see anything and this time it's worse because if there is something I should be able to see it because it's still day. But i can't see anyone.
Right after I thought this the ground started moving, they were goblins who camoflauged themselves as the ground , that seems too inteligent for something like goblins.
[WARNING 6 HOSTILE MONSTERS IN VERY CLOSE AREA]
"YES I KNOW THAT DAMMIT" I shouted to the voice in my head.
[GOBLIN] [GRADE F]
These guys are only grade F which means that they are significantly weaker than the dire Wolf but there are two problems.
1st problem: Well there is 6 of them
2nd problem: They have weapons , although they don't seem too strong , besides one of them.
4 goblins are wielding some wooden clubs
1 goblin is wielding 2 wooden clubs
1 goblin is wielding a Dagger which looks similar to mine.
They tried to surround me but I quickly ran away from inside the circle , I drew my sword and dagger and started to fight. First I targeted the goblin closest to me, I dashed towards him with thrusting attack from my sword. He side-stepped but I expected that and slashed him with my knife , I got his neck.
[Monster slain: Goblin]
Two more goblins dashed towards me both of them wielding wooden clubs. I threw dagger at one of them I hit his leg and he stopped running and started screaming , the other one kept going. I picked up the wooden club from the dead goblin and dashed towards the goblin. He swung his club at me and I blocked it with my club , then I swung my sword at him and cut off his arm , he started screaming and died after few seconds.
[Monster slain: Goblin]
There were 4 left and one of them had injured leg , the one with the two clubs started rushing next and the goblin with dagger was trying to flank me. I started running towards the goblin with dagger. The goblin with dagger and goblin with two clubs started to run towards me , I threw my club which I still had from the first goblin that I killed on the goblin with two clubs , he blocked it and it slowed him Down a little bit which was enough for me. I quickly managed to kill the goblin with dagger with swing from my sword because his weapon was too small he couldn't block me at all and he also didn't manage to evade my attack. After I got him I used him as meat shield against the goblin with 2 clubs but then I realized something...
The message, the message that says "Monster slain" didn't show up... which only meant THAT THE GOBLIN WITH DAGGER WAS STILL ALIVE. I had almost no time to think there was one good thing about this and that was that he dropped his dagger otherwise he couldn't fake his death of course. The goblin with two clubs was 2 meters in front of me and I was still holding the not so dead goblin. And he started smilling. The goblin started going berserk and he scratched me with his hands and also bit me
[Warning health dropped by 5]
[Warning health dropped by 8]
[Current health 102/120]
Thankfully the bite didn't make me bleed like the wolves bite.
I quickly killed it this time for sure with his own dagger that I quickly picked up when he started laughing.
[Monster slain: Goblin]
[Received item: Goblin Dagger D-Grade]
The goblin with the 2 clubs was already swinging his clubs at me and I dodged but I still got hit a little bit.
[Warning health dropped by 4]
[Current Health 98/120]
I started swinging my sword furiously at him and managed to knock off one of his clubs , after this I used the same strategy as on the first goblin.
I did a thrusting attack with my sword , he side stepped and I slit his throat with my dagger.
[Monster Slain: Goblin]
[LEVEL UP]
[Level Up reward OPEN]
I leveled up , but I still had unfinished business with the two goblins , but where is one of them? It seems that one of them escaped , it was the one that didn't engage in this battle whatsoever. The one with injured leg however couldn't escape. I quickly dashed towards it and because it had injured leg I killed it quickly.
[Monster slain: Goblin]
[No more hostile monsters in close area]
[NEW TITLE UNLOCKED: Goblin Killer]
A New Title? That's interesting. I looked where was the person that I was tailing , but I couldn't see him at all anymore , who was he?
