Getting A System In A Modern World - Chapter 144

Chapter 144: Tutorial Area, A Precarious Situation
“Wow! This looks amazing!”

A young man with hair as white as snow, possessing a slightly above-average appearance, exclaimed in surprise, and surveyed the field around him.

He was dressed in a loose-fitting brown tunic cinched at the waist with a rope, and wore simple leather slippers on his feet, and they didn’t mare his appearance but instead gave him a distinct aura.

Silas found himself in a field filled with tall grass that almost reached his waist, and varieties of trees.

He didn’t land in the field but instead he found himself standing on his two feet. This made the free falling feeling he has previously to be false.

The first thing that hit Silas was the cool breeze that was blowing in the field, hitting his skin from time to time, giving him slight chills.

He could also smell the smell of greenery and earth in the air.

“Good job, Apollo.”

He was impressed by the sensory feedback he was getting. It looks like he was in an actual field, and he would had believed it to be so if he didn’t know it’s a game.

||Welcome to the player’s tutorial area. Survive and escape the field to pass the tutorial.

After clearing the tutorial, depending on your performance, you will receive gifts that will aid you greatly in your future adventures.

Your status panel is available and you can now view it||

Silas heard the voice of the fairy he saw in the white space, in his head.

He wanted to check his in-game status panel but he was curious about how real Apollo made the game.

Silas touched the tunic he was wearing and he got a sensory feedback. He felt like he was actually touching something.

Silas nodded and decided to test further, as he touched his hand, pinched it, and did further multiple tests that gave him desired results.

The sensory feedback in the game was perfect and everything around him looks and feels so real, and the feeling of pain wasn’t absent.

After he was done with his tests, Silas decided to call up his in-game status panel.

“Status”

A blue screen containing his status information appeared in front of him.

“My in-game stats looks …normal,” He said to himself when he saw his status panel.

“Assuming the average stats for everyone is 10, then mine is looking great. Also, my attack and defense stats looks to be on the high side but I can’t confirm anything as there’s no hint.”

“…Or is there?” He asked himself, and followed what he has read before in other webnovels.

The next moment, another blue screen appeared in front of him.

||Note: Level 0 physical stats are capped at 10, and players starts with random stat points in their stats.

The combat stats are based off the player’s physical stats points. The higher your physical stats, the higher your combat stats.||

Silas nodded as he read the note. It answered some of his questions but he still had more he still needs answer to.

“Why didn’t I start with any combat equipment or is it because of the classless beginning?” He asked himself curiously.

He would had called up Apollo and ask, but he decided to just take things as they come. He wants to experience the pleasure of finding out things about the game as he plays it.

“Ok then, time to start the tutorial,” Silas said, and looked around the field once again.

Except for the sounds made by the rustling of leaves and grasses, caused the the gentle breeze that was blowing, and Silas, who was standing at in it, the field was mostly quiet and without any other living creature.

Silas knew that field was far from being quiet and empty. Since it’s called the player’s tutorial area, then it’s no doubt a dangerous place.

Also, with what the fairy’s voice in his head, said, he has to survive and eacape the field to pass the tutorial.

As if confirming his thought, Silas saw a disturbance among the grass. The grasses that almost reached his waist was shaking violently, indicating that there was something moving.

Silas immediately became alert when he saw it. He was about to summon his beginner sword when he remembered that he was given nothing to begin with.

“Apollo, we have a lot to talk about after this,” He said to himself, as he stood a fighting stance and waited for whatever it is that’s moving among the grass.

Silas didn’t have to wait long before he saw something jump out from among the grass.

||Lv. 1 Wolf.||

“A lone wolf? That’s surprising,” He said to himself, when he saw the creature responsible for the disturbance in front of him.

His expression changed when he remembered one crucial information about wolves.

“That makes it even more dangerous.” He added in a solemn voice.

Wolves are known to move in packs and for a lone wolf to appear before him means one of two things; the wolf is really alone and without a pack, or even worse, the wolf in front of him is responsible for reconnaissance.

Silas believed the latter to be correct, because he’s in the tutorial area, a place that’s teeming with danger at every corner.

Confirming his guess but in a different way, Silas noticed more disturbances in the grasses and the next moment, more wolves appeared in front of him.

“Apollo is definitely a sadist. How does he expect a level 0 player to fight a pack of wolves with a level 3 pack leader, in the tutorial area?” Silas asked himself in shock when he saw the scene in front of him.

In front of him is a pack of more than ten wolves with a level 3 pack leader, standing at the back.

The pack of wolves growled and bared their teeths, with viscous drools dripping from their mouth, and their eyes filled with intensely focused hostility, aggression, hunger and greed.

The pack of wolves, except for the level 3 wolf, started circling Silas, making sure they enclosed him in the middle.

Silas watched the wolves with focused attention. He didn’t want to be taken off guard and be torn to pieces by them. He also knew that his chances of surviving in the situation he’s currently in, is close to zero, and that is if it’s not zero.

He has no weapon or equipment to defend himself with, and even if he did, he’s greatly outnumbered by 1 to 10.

Also, with the general knowledge that monsters are naturally physically stronger than humans, Silas knew that he’s nothing more than dead meat.

He was still a little bit hopeful in a miracle happening due to his undefined Lucky stat.

He was still thinking of how extremely precarious his situation is, when he heard a howl from the level 3 wolf.

Immediately the pack of wolves circling around him jumped at him, simultaneously.

“Fucking hell, Apollo.”
