3 CHAPTER 3: System
Happy reading!
===============
"huh... Huh... If it continues like this then I will die here soon." Ethan muttered to himself as he was having difficulty breathing and showed his left arm which was broken by the monster.
Then he immediately raised his head and saw the creature floating with its wings moving up and down with a little purple blood visible on its body.
'damn, why is this tutorial so difficult, system?!' Ethan said to himself while cursing the system that gave him such a difficult tutorial.
[uhm... Please calm down host, you will not die in this tutorial, therefore you can still keep trying!]
His expression immediately turned extremely ugly when he saw the system's reply, he couldn't help but say it out loud.
"Asshole! Do you intend to torture me here?!"
[There's no way I would do that to my own owner! Plus, I only give daily missions to the host, so you can't blame me.]
When he saw the system reply angrily, it annoyed him so much that he hit the screen in front of him.
A cracking sound was heard all around revealing a hole in the pink panel, but it soon returned to its original state.
[...Host, can you calm down first. I can give you two suggestions to complete this tutorial.]
Ethan immediately changed his face back to normal when he saw the system was about to give him a suggestion.
"Tell me, what can you suggest to me."
[The host has two ways to enter the first floor.]
[First, the host can try to get past the basilisk and run straight until it reaches the end. Of course host will be chased by it and some other creatures.]
[Second, try your best to find out the basilisk's weakness by dying repeatedly, that way you can look for opportunities to kill it and find out its weakness.]
Ethan, who saw the two suggestions from the system, immediately pondered in his mind while continuing to think about which option was useful.
After a few seconds passed, Ethan now knew which one he should choose, showing a big smile on his face while thinking in his mind.
'I'd better just choose the first option, that way I can finish this without having to fight repeatedly with that monster.'
After that, he once again took a deep breath to prepare to dash past the basilisk.
Then he immediately ran with all the speed he had, even though he felt pain all over his body, he still continued running without stopping until the monster caught up with him.
"hiss!!-"
Hearing a swishing sound from behind him, he immediately knew that the creature was chasing him while flying with its two wings.
Ethan, who was now continuing to run to avoid the basilisk, suddenly slowed his steps a little when he saw several creatures emerge from the ground.
These creatures are shaped like human skulls and some of them look like giant snakes.
"...?! What! Isn't this even more impossible to pass!" Ethan muttered, his face showing fear and his body shaking when he felt the presence of the creature in front of him.
However, he did not stop his steps, because he knew that he could still come back to life, so he continued to try as hard as he could to get through while preparing to draw the sword in his right hand towards the skull creature in front of him.
"Even if it's useless, I'll still try it!"
Arriving in front of the skull creatures, he immediately swung his sword towards one of the human-shaped skulls.
When the sharp sword reached his skull, he was immediately shocked to see the skull in front of him shatter so easily.
[Congratulations, Host for killing the creature called undead.]
[Gained 1 Exp, you still need 1/20 more Exp to advance to level 1, Good luck!]
Ethan suddenly became very happy when he saw the notification from the system. realizing that by killing these monsters called undead, he would also gain experience to make himself stronger.
'hehe, I chose the right choice! Thank you system for giving me your suggestion!'
[...]
The system could only remain silent, feeling like it was being used by its own master.
Without caring that he would get hurt, Ethan continued to run without stopping while continuing to kill the undead monsters in front of him.
[Gained 1 Exp. 2/20 Exp remaining to reach level 1]
*slash* *slash*
[Gained 1 exp...]
[Gained...]
[...]
After Ethan continued to kill the monster, he immediately stopped when he saw the snake-shaped creature showing bones all over its body.
"System, show me the status of that creature." Ethan muttered while talking to the system.
[Status
Name: NONE
Race: Giant Snake Undead
Position: Subordinate
Power: Level 1
Skills: NONE
Ability: Sense [Level 1]
Conditions: Dead.]
Seeing how weak the monster in front of him was despite its huge body, made him show a wide grin on his lips. Without thinking, he immediately attacked the monster without the slightest hesitation.
As soon as Ethan's sword reached his lower body, he was suddenly shocked when he felt his head bone hit him.
*Crack*
A crack was heard as the monster poked its head right in the direction Ethan was.
Feeling excruciating pain, Ethan immediately let go of the sword from his hand while holding his head which was almost completely destroyed.
"ah!! It hurts so much!" shouted himself, feeling angry and also a little embarrassed for having underestimated the creature.
[Host, I want to tell you this.]
Seeing the notification from the system, he slightly hoped that something good would happen to him. but he was immediately disappointed and his face was filled with fear.
[look above you, the basilisk is trying to kill you by spitting poison from its mouth.]
[So I hope the host can avoid it, or you will die and restart this tutorial.]
Before he could say anything to the system, he suddenly felt like his entire body was covered in steamy purple liquid all over his body.
Ethan unconsciously fell to the ground with his hands lying on the floor helplessly.
"No... Am I going to die... Ah, I just remembered that I will start all over again, hopefully luck is on our side." Ethan said while closing his eyes waiting for his death slowly.
Only when he could no longer feel all of his limbs did he realize that he had completely died.
He immediately looked around the room where there was only darkness all around him. Suddenly a notification appeared in front of him.
[Because the host died in the tutorial, we will give you a chance to be revived.]
[please wait for 30 seconds.]
[0:30]
[0:29]
[...]
'hm, so that's how it works... It's no different than in video games themselves.' Ethan thought to himself as he continued to wait for the time in front of him.
[0:23]
Seconds continued to pass, and now only 10 seconds remained.
Before the number reached 5 seconds, he felt someone holding his shoulder, he immediately turned towards it and saw that it was a woman wearing a white headscarf while showing a smile on her face towards him.
"Be stronger, I will wait for our next meeting." Hearing the voice of the veiled woman, Ethan couldn't help but be enchanted by her beauty.
'h-huh?! How soft the voice the woman made was, and I could also see her red eyes showing her beauty. Even though I didn't see the shape of her face, I'm sure her beauty was truly stunning.' Ethan muttered in his heart as he continued to look into the woman's eyes with a confused expression.
Seeing the man in front of her continue to look at her like that, the woman could only chuckle softly and then immediately told Ethan that her time was up.
[0:03]
"Okay, now we're going our separate ways, so see you later, Ethan~" said the woman as she wrapped her arms around Ethan's neck from behind, without caring about his frozen reaction at the moment.
"w-wait-" before he could say anything, he immediately returned to the original place when he was transported into the dungeon like the first time he was transported here.
"ah... I don't understand why that woman suddenly appeared right in front of me..." he thought as he continued to ponder and continue to think about the form of the woman who looked like a goddess.
For several minutes after he remained silent in that place, he immediately woke up and saw that the sword had reappeared as before.
Without thinking, Ethan immediately took the handle, then he immediately showed a big smile and said to himself with a face full of confidence. "hahaha! Since that woman said we'll meet again someday, I'd better forget about that matter for now. I'll focus on this tutorial while continuing to raise my own level."
After that, Ethan immediately walked forward once again without caring about the danger he would face.
[host... I just want to remind you, the experience you previously gained will be reduced by 50% as compensation.]
[which means the host's previous experience of 16 is instantly reduced to 8.]
Our protagonist who initially showed a confident expression, when he saw the notification he immediately showed his gloomy face again.
"Damn system… Didn't you say earlier that this was just a tutorial? How come my amount of experience was reduced to half!"
[Sorry, but this is all to prevent someone from cheating in this tutorial.]
Reading the notice in front of him, Ethan was immediately shocked when he saw the last sentence.
"huh? You mean does anyone else have a system?" he asked himself to the system which now answered his question.
[No, only you have this system, but that doesn't mean no one has used this system before.]
[The host before you also suffered the same fate as you, but the only difference is the method.]
[The owner before you was too arrogant, in the end because of his arrogance he ignored his entire harem which made them immediately angry and immediately killed his own men.]
[Of course not because the harem is strong, but because the previous owner was too weak and even very shy in nature, different from the previous owner.]
When he saw the system explanation in front of his screen, without realizing it, he immediately froze in place because he saw the previous owner being killed by his women.
"Damn... Looks like my choice to become stronger was correct, that way I can protect my head from the women I will get in the future." Ethan muttered as he made up his mind, showing that his eyes were now fiery.
