Do you know what the funny thing is? That my first step in this world is theft.
Well, the person who obtained this item is not an important character, and even if he was, I do not care that much.
Maybe I look like a villain now, but I must mention that I am an extra, not a villain.
The important thing is that the two items are powerful, but only in the hands of a strong owner.
The first item was a skill book.
And the second item was a liquid artifact.
I reviewed my information about the items while I was leaving the apartment and heading to the subway.
The location was somewhat far, as it took about an hour and a half to reach.
Although I used that hour and a half to accept my situation.
Although I am calm, I feel that this calmness is fake.
It is true that I got another life, even though I have a somewhat difficult goal.
It is also true that I am talented in this body and have some knowledge about the world.
But will this really benefit me? Monsters all around the world, strange beings, and even alien entities, and among humans there are organizations that want the extinction of humanity.
They are a group of madmen.
And I am the madman here.
Because I want to put an end to the bosses of these monsters; maybe the lowest boss among them is ranked S+.
And not just one boss or two, but around ten bosses.
The classification of monsters is still not fully known to humanity, but I knew something else.
There were kings.
Those who ruled their species.
Monsters have a king, aliens have a king, and even the strange beings have a king.
And each king has divine abilities that make him almost invincible.
And above all of this... damn. I cursed quietly while forcing myself to stop thinking.
This matter is just a headache for me right now, and even the bosses—the first boss will appear after six years.
With my current talent, I can face him... maybe.
It doesn't matter. I will do anything so I can achieve this; I will do it any way I can
And now I am in my first steps toward achieving this.
After organizing my thoughts for what I don't know how many times, I found that the subway had arrived at my destination station.
I got off the subway and went outside. I opened my watch and displayed the map.
After determining my location and the place I needed to go, I headed quickly.
After an hour of walking and following the map, I reached the place I wanted.
An abandoned palace surrounded by trees from every direction.
I stood in front of the large palace.
"Now the search begins." The thing I wanted was not inside the palace, but in a small hut in the forest.
The person who obtained these items was very lucky; he was running away from some bullies and went into the forest.
After running, he found the hut and hid inside it, and there he found the items on the shelf.
"Damn this luck." I cursed again while comparing my luck to his... at least I am talented unlike him.
I went into the forest and searched for a long time.
An hour passed, then another hour passed. I checked the time again.
5:11 AM
That means I have been here for three hours searching for a damn hut.
I gritted my teeth and continued searching while cursing the person who built the hut in the forest.
After half an hour of searching, I finally found it.
A ruined hut in the middle of the trees.
I smiled widely after finally finding the hut.
It was stupid to search for a hut at night in the middle of a forest, but I wanted to find the item quickly and did not want to risk losing it.
It was good that the sun had risen shortly after I found it.
I rushed toward the hut.
When I opened the door and entered the hut, everything turned white.
And I fell.
…...
After an unknown time.
I woke up and found myself in front of a fairly large cave entrance.
Huh? Where am I? Was I kidnapped? The white light was not mentioned in the novel... well, the author only wrote that the character obtained the item from this place and did not write anything else.
I hit my head while sighing at my haste.
I was stupid in that moment.
I must be careful from now on.
The author did not explain many things, and I should not rely on an incomplete plot.
I sighed again and checked my equipment; the sword was still there, and the pistol too.
"Status screen." I wanted to open the status screen to check my condition, but I was surprised.
"The user is in a virtual world."
"You cannot open the status screen."
I gritted my teeth while looking at the message.
The status screen is not an all-powerful thing; although it appears to a person, if the consciousness is in a virtual place, it cannot display stats.
Because the massive mana that creates the place affects the person itself and their mana.
Well, the good thing is that I know where I am now and that I was not kidnapped.
I thought while sighing in relief.
But why am I in a virtual world? Is this because of the white light? If this thing happened to the person who obtained the artifact and skill and he managed to pass it, then I am sure I can too.
"Test?" This is what I concluded while thinking about the reason for the virtual world.
I ignored my thoughts and moved forward into the cave.
It was wide inside and dark... well, that is expected from a cave, right?
I pulled out the katana from its sheath and held it in my right hand and the pistol in my left hand and went deeper into the cave.
After a few minutes of walking, I encountered a living creature.
It was a huge monster, maybe two meters tall.
Well, it is huge for someone like me who is about 160 cm tall.
The monster had a slim body, but its limbs were massive.
Its face looked like a bat, but it had a huge human-like body despite its strange appearance.
Its eyes were red and it had two black wings on its back.
"For fuck's sake, what is this monster?" I thought while preparing to attack, before hiding behind a rock nearby.
I kept waiting for the monster to leave, but it did not move at all, and the frustrating thing is that it is blocking the cave entrance.
That left me with only one option.
To fight it.
But the question now is: can I defeat it?
