2025, Chicago, United States, MayThe sky is light blue, the birds flutter around, the leaves of the trees are attracted to the wind from time to time, there are many people on the streets, there are couples walking on the street holding hands, there are children playing with their bicycles, housewives carrying shopping bags to prepare lunch and in this bustling street we find a somewhat old house.
"Ahh, why do I have to be so mean modeling this sword!" A man screams in despair, this man has gla.s.ses, black eyes, unruly black hair, his skin is very pale as if he did not receive sunlight in months and what stands out in this man is his thin body that makes even his cheekbones are marked.
This man is Kayle, a 3D animator with knowledge problems in what he works at, he graduated from a rather bad university, which made his knowledge in 3D modeling bad...
Kayle looks at the screen with an expression of despair, but his eyelids suddenly feel heavy, he tries to stay awake, but for some reason, he can"t contain the dream he feels, soon everything around his darkens and falls asleep.
...
"Hey, wake up!"
"T-that guy still doesn"t wake up? If we stay longer, that thing will kill us!"
Kayle hears loud noises that disturb his sleep, then feels that someone is shaking his body, his eyes slowly open, he looks around and is surprised at what he sees. The sky is green with many spiral-shaped clouds, it feels as if his body feels light as if it were floating in the water, try to get up from the floor, but when he moved his body, a viscous liquid covers him, he gets up with a little effort, looks at the floor and observes that the entire floor is covered with a viscous green liquid.
"If you"re already awake, hurry up and try to run!" A man in a black suit shouts, the man is covered with the same viscous liquid on the ground.
"It comes! That thing comes!" A fat man screams repeatedly, the fat man has acne all over his face and his expression shows that he is very afraid.
"Sob, sob... W-why is this happening to me?" A blonde girl says with tears in her eyes, she is shaking while protecting herself behind a muscular man.
"Do not worry, that monster is very slow, I a.s.sure you that nothing will happen to you" Says the muscular man to the blonde girl, is trying to rea.s.sure her. The muscular man is bald and his face is quite attractive.
Kayle does not understand what is happening, recently he was doing a 3D model at home, he remembers that suddenly he felt a little sleepy and fell asleep. But he won"t understand how he ended up in this strange place!
"Guiiii!"
He suddenly hears a loud noise, the noise is unpleasant to hear, the noise is like someone is killing a pig, Kayle looks at where the noise is coming from and when he sees what is coming to him he feels his stomach is churning. It is an extremely unpleasant monster or that is what Kayle thinks, he can see organs of all kinds, there are intestines, tongues, eyes and many more parts of the body of a living being that hang from the monster"s body. The monster has a body covered in blood and where a head is supposed to go there is a hole full of black teeth.
"B-blergh!" The girl suddenly vomits, it seems she could not bear to see such an unpleasant monster.
The muscular man has an expression of disgust, the girl throws upon him, staining his body vomit.
Kayle was deeply surprised by this vision, he did not expect to see something so unpleasant, but seeing that the monster was slowly approaching, Kayle regains his senses and asks the man in the black suit "What"s going on here? How did I get to this place?"
The man in the black suit has an incredibly poor complexion, he is quite afraid of what is happening "I-I don"t know, I just remember waking up in this place recently, I really don"t know anything, but that doesn"t matter, we have to try to run away fast or that monster will reach us!"
"Don"t you remember why you are here?" Kayle can only swallow all the questions he has and try to escape. But he instantly realizes that he cannot walk well, his steps are incredibly slow, the liquid that is on the ground makes it very difficult to walk.
Kayle used to think that the monster was very slow, but he realizes that it is even slower than the monster! "How do you pretend we run away with this thing on the ground?" Kayle tells the man in the black suit.
"Splash!"
Then Kayle sees how the man in the black suit falls to the ground "Ahhh, we"re going to die, we"re all lost, it"s impossible to run with this d.a.m.n thing on the ground!" The man in the black suit screams. .h.i.tting the viscous liquid with his fists.
Kayle understands that the man in the black suit is not in a position to respond, seems to have lost hope of finding a way to escape. Kayle can see the monster approaching the fat man with acne, there is only a distance of 1 meter between the 2.
"D-don"t get close! I-I was just playing video games at home, w-why do I have to appear in this d.a.m.n place!?" The fat man stutters some words of fear.
Kayle knows that if he continues to see everything that is happening without doing anything, soon everyone will be eaten by that monster, look around for something that will help him out of this situation and try to save the fat man. There are many trees, the trunks of the trees are black and the branches lack leaves. Kayle tries to find something in the soil between the viscous liquid, soon sees that there are some roots in the soil that are too thin to be seen with the naked eye, in addition to the roots being covered by the viscous liquid. he discovers that all the roots are connected to the trees, Kayle grabs a root, tests the resistance of the root and sees that it is very difficult to break it.
"You, the fat one, there are roots in the ground, look for some root and with the help of the roots try to get away from that monster!" Kayle says, then look at everyone else "Everyone to do the same!" He grabs the root tightly and pulls it. With the help of the root, he feels that his steps are faster, now it is not impossible to get away from that monster.
"Y-yes!" The fat man with his whole body covered in sweat grabs a root and walks away from the monster "Hahaha I"m doing it, this thing can no longer reach me, if I had a gun I would make monster mincemeat!" The fat man laughs at the monster. him seems that he quickly forget that he was about to be eaten by that monster he is mocking.
The other people do the same, they all go in the same direction, trying to get as far away from the monster as possible, after walking with the help of the root for a while, everyone can hear the roar of the monster more far.
"Haaa haa haa" The blonde girl falls on her knees panting, she still can"t believe they managed to escape from that nasty monster.
The fat man is even worse than the girl, recently he was laughing at the monster, but now that he escaped, his face is covered with tears and snot.
Kayle looks in detail at every corner of where they are, check that there is no monster in the surroundings "Now that we are safe, does anyone know why we are in this place?" Kayle asks looking at all the people around him.
"I"m just like you, other people woke me up" Says the muscular man, he"s very close to the blonde girl.
Kayle thinks that the muscular man has a special attachment for the blonde girl, even before waking up, he saw the muscular man next to the girl, he is probably interested in her, but he doesn"t care too much since the girl doesn"t seem to care.
"I-I was the first one to wake up, at first I thought it was a dream, but when I saw that monster approaching I had no choice but to try to wake them up..." Says the fat man, now it seems calmer that they are safe.
The blonde girl looks at the fat man with a mocking expression "Lies, you didn"t try to call us, only that your pig shouts made us wake up"
"It"s true what the girl says, I was the second to wake up and the reason I woke up was because of the screams of the fat man" Says the man in the black suit, he has a shy smile on his face. He recently lost his sanity and made a rather embarra.s.sing show.
Kayle sees that everyone seems to be calmer "And now what do we do?" Kayle says.
"This place is covered in this disgusting green slime and the only thing around it is ugly trees" Says the blonde girl who looks at the place with an expression that she will probably vomit again.
"Leaving the monster aside, there is something else that seems strange to me and it is the sky" Says the fat man who points his finger at the sky.
Kayle looks up at the sky, he saw before that the sky is green and the clouds are like swirls. All clouds are spirals, but looking in more detail see something out of the ordinary...
"What is that thing!?" The blonde girl screams in surprise.
Everyone also noticed the thing in the sky, in the sky there is a small black dot that is difficult to notice if you do not observe it well, but when you see it in detail you discover that it is a human face with a spooky smile, the face It is black with protuberances all over the face, from the protuberances comes a green liquid that falls to the ground, the face has no eyes, but its mouth has a pair of green lips that form an extremely wide smile.
Kayle feels that a chill ran down his back quickly, he looks back at the viscous liquid on the floor and realizes that it comes from the protuberances of the face in the sky. He looks at the other people, they all tremble, the blonde girl has her white face because of the impact of seeing the face in the sky. Kayle understands that if he lets people despair because of fear, some problems may occur in his small group.
"Everyone, there is no need to be so afraid, it is true that that face is not pleasant to look at, but it does not attack us like that monster" Kayle breathes and keeps talking "What if we talked about what we were doing before we woke up in this place? We can find some clues, by the way, my name is Kayle" Says Kayle, it"s the only way he can think to rea.s.sure everyone.
"My name is Jacob, I was playing a game of magic and swords, you know these games where you can level up and kill monsters" Says the fat man, look at everyone thinking that someone would understand, but only sees everyone with expressions of not knowing what he is talking about.
Kayle understands what Jacob is talking about, since he has also played such games, but prefers not to continue that topic of conversation.
"I am Ryan, I remember that I went running to train my body, but from one moment to another my vision darkened and when I woke up I was already in this place with all of you" Says the muscular man.
The blonde girl looks at the muscular man with somewhat strange eyes, even approaches the muscular man when he hears that he was exercising before losing consciousness "You can tell me, Lily, I was preparing some snacks in my kitchen and the rest is something you already know"
"...I was watching television and I lost consciousness" Says the man in the black suit, but his eyes turn around avoiding everyone"s eyes, but his expression changes, it seems he remembered something "And my name is Adam"
Kayle doesn"t think the man in the black suit is telling the truth, the way he said it and his expression is too suspicious. Think about what he was doing before waking up in this place "I was modeling a 3D sword, I was part of the team of a warrior I was doing, although I wasn"t modeling so well hahaha..." Kayle remembers how he was modeling that sword, but suddenly he hears a noise and something appears in front of him.
"Ding!"

The user-activated the test skill "Creator" An item is materializing... the user"s knowledge allowed an item of rank G to be created.
Magic iron sword of rank G.

A green light appears in Kayle"s right hand, he can see many green particles that condense in his hand, gradually forming what looks like a sword. After a few seconds, a half-meter sword is in Kayle"s hand, look at the sword with eyes wide open like a plate, the blade of the sword is gray with bright green scars and the hilt is made of wood. But what surprises Kayle the most is that the hilt has a miniature dragon head, It"s the same as the hilt of the model he made in 3D!
"What did you do!?" Adam says out loud.
"I… I just thought about how to model the sword I was doing in my house before waking up here" Kayle says in a confused voice.
"That was a system... right?" Jacob says in an incredulous tone of voice "What appeared was the panel of a system? That panel was the same as described in the light novels I read!"
Kayle knows very well that what appeared is a system, since she reads many Chinese novels, but she didn"t expect even they would see the panel! Isn"t it supposed that the panel of a system can only be seen by the owner? or that is what Kayle has read in many system novels.
"What is a system?" Ryan asks with confusion in his expression.
"I"m also confused, I have no idea what a system is" Says Lily.

Adam says nothing, just looks at Kayle with a rather strange look.
"A system is something that helps you level up, learn faster than anyone else in the world and the most important thing is that they give you skills that can make you the strongest in the world!" Jacob says looking at Kayle with envy, then something occurs to him, he thinks about creating a sword-like Kayle"s.
Kayle sees a green light appear in Jacob"s right hand, a sword-like Kayle"s soon materializes, but when he looks more closely at the sword, he realizes that it is very different from his sword.
"Eh? Why did it turn out like this?" Jacob holds the sword"s edge with both hands and only by applying a little force, the sword"s edge is broken in half "What did I do wrong? Why is my sword so weak?"
As Kayle suspected, Jacob"s sword was different from his, Jacob"s sword doesn"t have the bright green scars his sword has and Jacob"s sword design is really bad. Kayle understands that it is possible for everyone to have a system or for everyone to share the same system.
Another green light appears, but this time in Lily"s right hand, she holds a sword, but her sword only lasts in her hands for a second and soon breaks into small pieces "Why did my sword break so fast...? "Says Lily with a sad expression.
Soon everyone tries to create a sword, but only Kayle"s sword has bright green scars, the rest is practically rubbish, the only one who made a sword that doesn"t break is Adam, but it looks like a normal sword, it"s very different from the magical sword of Kayle.
"Ding!"

"Test?" Kayle does not know what this system is talking about, but he is happy to be the only one to overcome the mission, although he does not show it in his expression.
"This is!?" Jacob screams suddenly.
Everyone looks surprised, Jacob scared them with his shout. Adam says "Why do you scream? What did you see?" Look around, he won"t know if a monster appeared again.
"It"s the test! Ehhh, think about seeing what the test means in their minds and you"ll know what I"m talking about," says Jacob, nodding.
Kayle tries to think about what Jacob said, tries to open a panel that tells him it"s the test.
"Ding!"

Kayle, seeing what the test means, feels that he is in a kind of macabre game where only 1 of them can get out alive, turns around to look at other people and sees that everyone has different expressions.
