3 Chapter 3

After reading through the two new tasks I just shrugged since these two missions would complete themselves with time.

The only thing I was worried about was the Rating Mission since the game would definitely not be for everyone.

Not everyone liked BR games on Earth, so I doubt everyone would like this game as well.

Plus, this game is very skill-based and I can already foresee a lot of Rage in the future which would most likely cause these said people to give the game a low rating.

As I was sitting in my chair waiting for the first player to join a match, a notification appeared on my desk on a screen.

[It's been detected that the host has still not redeemed his random reward, would you like to redeem the reward?]

Ah right, what was the reward again?

Just redeem it.

[A/N: I went back and changed the original reward the MC got for reaching rank 1, since now that I thought about it, It was WAY too overpowered if you do not believe me, look up The Four Fundamental Forces of the Universe]

[Redeming the random reward, congratulations on gaining the item, Yggdrasil's Magic Grimoire]

[A Magical Grimoire that contains the knowledge of all the world of Overlord's DMM-RPG, Yggdrasil, note that the book can only be destroyed or damaged by the owner, you]

Hmmm?

What is that?

Suddenly a leather book materialized on what of my bookshelves in the workshop.

Walking over I grabbed the book before coming back to my desk and sitting down with the book in hand.

Upon placing the book down and flipping it to the first page, I found myself looking at a strange picture of a gigantic tree that towered into the sky with its roots burying deep into the earth, just above the tree was the golden word, Yggdrasil.

As I flipped through the next couple of pages I found that it was in detail over the languages of Yggdrasil and the New World, Elvish, Dwarvish, Demonic, Angelic, and countless more.

While I got lost in reading through the book, I didn't notice that a match started due to a certain player gaining the confidence to enter the game once again.

...

Meanwhile, a certain player was having an internal struggle as once he returned to the player waiting area of the Game.

"Why did I even come back here?!"

"This game is crazy!"

Standing just before the empty door with the sign that read 'Queue Match' that looked to lead out into the void, our first player was debating whether or not to actually step through the door.

Then without realizing it, he stepped through the door...

[Note that you cannot queue a match until you create a username]

Quickly taking a step back the young man sighed in relief.

Taking in a deep breath, the young man steeled his heart and tried to calm down his fear

Soon, however, he thought of a username, and suddenly one of the boards changed with his thoughts.

[Username: IAmTheFr33

Wins: 0

K/D/A: 0/0/0]

Noticing that his username was changed, he said in surprise, "It can read my thoughts?!"

[Now that you have a Username, please choose one of the options available]

[Solos, 1 Player]

[Duos, 2 Players(Unavailable)]

[Trios, 3 Players(Unavailable)]

[Squads, 4-5 Players(Unavailable)]

Only one is available?

Calming himself once again, the player known as IAmTheFr33 stepped through the doorway.

[You have joined a match!]

[60 Seconds until the match starts!]

Suddenly the player found himself standing within an abandoned lobby surrounded by a little over 65 other people.

Suddenly in his eyes, a number, a minimap, and a timer appeared in his vision.

The first number was the timer which was counting down to 0 seconds and was already at 48...47 and counting, next to that number was the number 66 next to a symbol of a person.

Then just above both of the numbers, was a minimap that was currently blank.

Looking around I was surprised to find that everyone around me was sizing each other up, some were buff men, others were lean, and there were even a few groups of women.

Soon enough, however, the timer ended and somehow everyone was instantly wearing parachutes!

Then, the floor opened up from beneath us, causing us to fall down a small hole!

Before even a few moments passed all the contestants found themselves in a freefall towards what appeared to be a large city!

As I struggled and fell down towards the ground at a fast speed, I managed to find the latch and pulled on it, allowing the parachute to open up, just moments before I would hit the ground.

Luckily the parachute managed to slow down my speed just enough for me to survive the fall...

Coughing and hyperventilating I soon noticed that my parachute disappeared as soon as I touched the ground.

Looking up I found myself lying in a street filled with overgrown cars and in a street chock-full of abandoned skyscrapers that had thick vines growing on their walls and grass growing into the building.

Then from the corner of my eye, I noticed a bright glow from one of the broken display windows in one of the smaller buildings in the area.

Upon walking over, I noticed it was a strange crate(think of warzone) that glowed with a strange white glow.

Upon approaching the crate and opening it, I was surprised to find an M4A1 and a simple ballistic vest.

Lying next to the M4A1 was even a box of ammo for the gun.

After a slight hesitation, I put on the armor and grabbed the gun before hearing a growl from behind me that caused goosebumps.
