Tutorial

After the timer hit zero

I became conscious once more. I felt cold, hard, wet ground underneath me. When I opened my eyes blue words appeared before me it seemed like they were held in place by some invisible strings.

It read:

Welcome to the tutorial

This is village number 209,080 and will be your home for the next 2 months

These villages are here to prepare you for the new harsh world.

After reading this, I looked around to try to see the people who I would share my experiences with for the next few months.

Surprisingly there was only around 10 people around me. They were all in different states of unconsciousness. Some were still completely immobile on the ground and others had nearly made a full recovery. Their faces switched between panic, bewilderment and anger at the deity's that had imprisoned us.

Of the other 10 people there was 6 girls and 4 guys. They were a strange mixture of people some had ties and shirts with stiffen collars and others had obviously been taken right out of a yoga or fitness class and it looked like they lived on protein supplements and doing bicep curls.

After briefly analysing the other unlucky participants of this apocalyptic event I looked around at the surrounding area and the place God had forced me to live. It was a strange place which looked like it had been taken straight from the medieval era. It had a simplistic wooden wall , which surrounded a few houses the only interesting things in this place was a broad with the word QUESTS on the top of it , next to it was a map with a multitude of different coloured spots on it denoting all of the monsters around the village and their different powers.

In the very centre of the village or rudimentary settlement. Was a rock pillar which looked like it was natural and had been there since the primordial periods.

In the side of my vision three compulsory quests announced themselves:

1.

As soon as I saw the words status screen I was exhilarated. I had always loved games with stats and skills it had been a staple of my childhood. To be in a real life scenario where this was a reality was a dream come true.

I thought of the words status screen in my head and this appeared
