1 THE BEGINNING
Nathan awoke from his slumber to a noise that had never occurred in his area. "Noisy!" he shouted in annoyance.
Reluctantly Nathan got up from his bed and then walked to the edge of the window not far from the bed.
He slowly opened the window and looked outside. A moment later, his face changed to that of a frightened person. "Th- This… H-How can there be as many monsters in the game," he said, taking a few steps back.
Kress!
[Level Up]

[Reward: Storage Space Skill Lv.01 (Passive)]
[Storage Space. Can store items with excess time stopped in the dimensions of 1 cubic meter. Increasing the level can expand the storage dimensions. To activate a skill, it is only necessary to say the word 'Inventory']
Nathan was shocked and looked around confusedly. He looked for the source of the sound but couldn't find its origin.
Suddenly, a very familiar transparent screen appeared in front of his eyes, which he often encountered while playing games.
[Name: Nathan Alexander]
[Race: Human]
[Age: 18 Years]
[Level : 01 (0/200)]
[Jobs :-]
[HP: 200]
[MP: 50]

[INT: 8]
[DEX: 6]
[LUCK: 90]
[Status Points: 10]
[Skill Points: 5]
[Skill: Storage Space Lv.01 (Passive)]
Nathan looked at the transparent blue screen in front of him with a surprised look. "A status screen like the one in the game? Level one? Have I killed a monster? But from the sound I heard earlier, I did."
Nathan also saw the soles of his feet, remembering when he stepped back, he heard a strange sound in his mind. "Insect?"
Nathan was speechless with what had happened. He killed a monster by accidentally stepping on a bug, and that's why he got an extraordinary achievement that gave him an extraordinary skill.
Tap… Tap… Tap…
There was the sound of footsteps outside Nathan's apartment room, and he sneaked his way behind the door to observe it.
[Gaining Stealth Skill Lv.01 (Active) 50MP/Min]
[Skill Stealth. When used, it can match the wearer's presence to low-level opponents. Increasing the level can reduce the use of Mana Points and can disappear in the air when the level is maxed out. To activate, it needs to say the word 'Stealth']
Nathan was surprised by the notification sound from inside his head. He did not expect getting the skill to be so easy. "Looks like performing a special action can grant a skill," he muttered.
He slowly opened the door to see who it was that stepped into the hallway of his apartment. To his surprise, he opened the door and saw a green-skinned creature about the size of a ten-year-old child. He knows very well what kind of monster it is because it is often seen in Dungeon-type games.
[Getting Skill Appraisal Lv.01 (Passive)]
[Analysis Skills. Can find out information about objects and living things that are seen. Increasing the level can allow for complete information. To activate the skill, it is only necessary to say the word 'Analyze']
After hearing this, Nathan activated his skill.
Information

[Race : Monster - Goblin]
[Type : Goblins]
[Levels : 5]
[HP : 100]
[MP : 0]
[Skill : Hitting Stick Lv.2]
Nathan, who saw it, slowly opened the door and sneaked up to the Goblin carrying a short rope in both hands, and he quickly wrapped the rope to strangle the Goblin to death.
[Level Up]
After completing the notification, Nathan felt a stream of foreign energy enter his body. He felt his body getting stronger than before. His footsteps also felt lighter, like cotton in the wind.
"What's this?" asked Nathan, who saw a small crystal replacing the Goblin's corpse that had been lost.
Information
[Low-tier Monster Core]
[Can be used to make magic equipment with an effect that matches the magic energy of the monster's core]
Nathan returned to his room after taking the monster core he had obtained. He is now preparing to leave the apartment, which he thinks is no longer safe, not only from roaming monsters but also from food stocks.
"Inventory."
Instantly in front of Nathan appeared a blue cube measuring one cubic meter. Without further delay, Nathan began to enter water bottles, snacks, flashlights, kitchen knives and tools that allowed him to survive in this chaotic world.
"Status."
[Name: Nathan Alexander]
[Race : Human]
[Age : 18 Years]
[Level : 01 > 02 (175/300)]
[Jobs :-]
[HP : 200 > 250]
[MP : 50 > 75]
[STR : 5]
[VIT : 9]
[AGI : 7]
[INT : 8]
[DEX : 6]
[LUCK : 90]
[Status Points : 20]
[Skill Points : 10]
[Skill : [Storage Lv.01 (0/5)] - [Stealth Lv.01 (0/5)] - Alanisa Lv.01 (0/5)]]
Nathan, who saw the transparent screen before him, nodded in satisfaction. "Okay! STR 10 points, VIT 5 points, AGI 3 points, and DEX 2 points. And use 10 Points to increase Stealth Skills," said Natan pressing the button on the status screen.
After finishing upgrading his status, Natan strolled out of the apartment room, or it could be said as a multi-storey boarding house. He steps sneakily not to be found by monsters and can attack from behind to increase his level.
He meets a human corpse lying on the floor, covered in blood, on his way down the stairs. Of course, he felt very nauseous because he was not used to the corpses, but he had to prepare himself because, according to him, at a time like this, humans were the most dangerous creatures than monsters.
Nathan kept walking until he was on the third floor towards the stairs connected to the second floor.
Tap… Sreek…
Tap… Sreek…
Nathan heard footsteps again, but he seemed to be dragging one of his other legs this time.
Nathan dared to peek in the direction of the voice. He was shocked and nauseous again when he saw a rotten corpse walking toward him.
"Unlucky!" Nathan Alexander cursed angrily.
Natan took a deep breath and braced himself. He took a baseball bat from the storage room and ran to attack the zombies right under the stairs.
"Die you bastard!" Nathan slightly shouted as he swung his iron bat at the zombie-type monster.
Zraasshhh!
Instantly, the zombie's head broke due to the attack launched by Nathan with blackish-red blood that spurted in all directions and a powerful stench.
Although the zombie's level was higher than the Goblin's earlier, its durability was very low, making it very easy for him to kill the monster.
Natan returned to being nauseous and vomited the contents of his stomach, and then he ran down the stairs without taking the Monster Core. It was not without reason that he did not take it because the zombies that had been killed did not disappear, especially the smell was very unpleasant.
Nathan, already on the first floor, walked cautiously towards the window. When he was in his room on the fifth floor of the apartment, he saw a lot of monsters wandering around, but this time, there were only a few monsters in front of the apartment where he lived.
"Did they all go somewhere else?" Nathan Alexander muttered to himself while rubbing his chin.
Nathan opened the apartment door and the fence slowly, with his Stealth skill that had reached level two. Not only can it remove his presence, but the scent also disappears. This makes it easier for Nathan to leave safely without inviting nearby monsters to approach him.
However, Nathan didn't let this opportunity slip away. The monsters in front of the apartment were only level five to eight, with a not-so-high number of Health Points, so he could take on all of them and increase their level and status.
When all the monsters in front of the apartment were gone, he resumed his journey, leaving the apartment to look for the most important thing at this time, namely weapons.
"Okay! I will continue this journey!"
