Chapter 2: [Quests!]

There was a smile on my face. I couldn't keep my eyes off of the blue screen for an entire minute before I finally calmed myself down. Shaking my head, I tried recalling what exactly was going on.

"Did I reincarnate in a game? Or is it part of an experiment or something?"

This one felt too realistic for a game.

Though what was I doing before coming here?

'...'

Even after trying for another minute, I still couldn't recall what I was doing before coming here. My memories…. they were blank.

'What was my name?'

"Adam… Adam Wesker," I spoke with a sigh of relief as I could barely recall my name.

Not being able to remember your origin is a suffocating feeling.

"So. What's next?"

Once again, I looked at the [System] screen. Scrolling down through it, I reached the [Quest] area.

[Quest: Survive!]

"Seems simple enough… ?" I muttered as I turned around and began walking as far away from the caravan as I could. Since the bandits were going to come and kill me again, if I'm near the caravan, anyway, running away was the best choice.

Things went well as I kept walking for another 30 minutes. Though…

-Thap! Thap! Thap!

I turned around, only to find the bandits chasing me at a rapid speed.

"Are you kidding me?" I muttered as I looked at the leader reaching rather close to me and…

-Slash!

[You Have Died!]

[Game Over!]

[Restarting from Last Save Point!]

[Error! No Save Point Found!]

[Restarting from Start!]

Hot.

"Let's have 3 points in Dexterity and 2 in Constitution," I decided to add some speed to my running this time. As long as I run away, it's fine.

A fresh aroma spread around my body as soon as I increased my dexterity. I felt like I could run a marathon right now and still won't feel tired.

And when I increased my Constitution, my body felt far more vital than before. As if I had been finally set free from a disease I had been suffering from for ages.

I didn't realize it but I was already getting accustomed to this game like word.

"This fucking heat is still too much. I am so taking a bath right after this," I vowed as I began walking away from here once again. This time I ran as fast as I could, but my weak body was getting tired a bit easily.

And after running for another 30 minutes, I turned around to make sure there was no one following me.

"Phew!" I sighed in relief as I saw that no one was behind me this time. And once again, I began walking away without wasting much time.

Though after traveling for another 15 minutes…

-ROARRRR!!!!

A giant basilisk. That's the closest description of the monster which I encountered in front of me.

"Are you kidding me?" I said as I fell on the sand. My legs were weakened after running for the entire 45 minutes.

The basilisk ran towards me at a rapid speed before it took a crunch at my body.

"Huh?!"

A sharp pain entered my neck as I felt my body being torn apart from my torso. To say it was painful would be an understatement…

[You Have Died!]

[Game Over!]

[Restarting from Last Save Point!]

[Error! No Save Point Found!]

[Restarting from Start!]

-Thud!

This time, I fell on my knees as I held my neck with my hand. The feeling of the basilisk's teeth embedded into your neck was worse… the feeling of my body torn apart was…

I sat there for a few minutes, as I still couldn't shake that feeling away. While those bandits killed me in one sweep, that monster… it didn't kill me swiftly. I could still feel the moments before my death.

Time passed as I was still in my thoughts before I saw the bandits coming closer to me…

'So. What to do this time?' I questioned myself.

Should I let myself be killed and try again? Or should I get up and fight against those bandits?

"Let's not waste this time," I muttered as I collected my fear instilled self. Standing up slowly as I looked at those bandits, I questioned how would I fight them without a weapon?

[Strength: 5 -> 10!]

By maximizing my strength? Well. We can try that.

[You have unlocked the Basic Skill: Super Strength!]

[Super Strength(Common)!]

[Effects: Increases Strength and Attack by 10% for 10 seconds.

Cooldown: 2 minutes!]
