Not much had changed on Lumen's status screen but a new section had been added underneath his stats called 'Skills' where his current only skill presided. He also noticed a small count added to the inventory button, presumably displaying the number of slots taken up in the inventory.
Seeing the small amount of '5' and thinking about the last sentence the system said to him before he was transported here, Lumen was annoyed to find out that all of his effort in storing a whole bunch of survival equipment in preparation was all for nothing.
'Tsk, stingy system.'
He quickly got over it however as the notification rang for the well anticipated quest for this tutorial.
[Ding! Quest received.]
[Quest: Survive the tutorial
Quest Difficulty: F ~ D
Quest Description: You have been transported to the tutorial, a pocket dimension simulating a series of tests and tribulations needed to survive in the Fantasia realm. Within a time limit of 2 months you will go through a period of survival; all basic aspects of survival will be up to you to fulfil, whether it is finding water, food or shelter, you will have only yourself and those you trust to rely on.
Throughout the tutorial area there are many beasts and other mysterious items and encounters that you can experience that can either be beneficial or detrimental to your survival in this tutorial. Every move you make will be judged and you will be rewarded credits for meritorious actions.
Examples of meritorious actions include: Slaying beasts, slaying other humans, attainments in your own professions etc. You will learn more of how to earn credits the more you explore through the tutorial.
A tutorial panel will be available to view at any time during the duration of the tutorial for you to view.
Quest time limit: 59 days 23 hours]
As Lumen read through the quest description, his excitement could only rise at the prospect of rewards being given for things such as killing beasts within the tutorial. Killing other humans didn't interest him much as everyone currently stood either at the same level as him or below him, as he had the advantage of accessing the system a month early compared to them.
He would only consider killing other humans if they decided to be hostile to him first.
Thinking of the idea of other humans either being hostile or friendly, he looked around him at the other 4 people on his platform.
He didn't have many interactions with other humans over the past month during his stay on Earth as he was too focused on his self to care about others.
He also didn't have much of a relationship with humans in his previous universe as most of the conversations held were just them ordering him to do something and him obeying.
Hence he didn't exactly have good communication skills.
This led to the next situation developing.
"Jake." Lumen spoke, he was also the first person of the bunch to speak so the attention of all of them was naturally brought to him. 𝐛𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗼𝐯𝐞𝗹.𝐨𝐫𝗴
However the most attention was brought to him through the tall, muscular bald man opposite him who he was eyeing up curiously.
Suddenly the bald man spoke to Lumen, confused and a little cautious as everyone was new to this environment.
"How do you know my name? Who are you? I've never seen someone like you before in my life...." The muscular bald man spoke, presumably named Jake as his confusion was plastered all over his face.
Lumen only pointed at Jake's shirt and spoke once again, "It says it on your shirt."
Silence descended on the platform as the 3 other people looked at Jake with a funny look, as if both feeling a little bad for him and mocking him.
"Oh..." Was all Jake could muster up as his face went slightly red and started fidgeting.
The awkward silence lasted for another 10 seconds until someone else coughed and introduced themselves in order to diffuse the awkward tension on the platform.
"My name's Will, from the US and currently 29 years old. Why don't we introduce ourselves to each other to familiarise ourselves as clearly we are apart of some sort of team and stuck together in this place called the 'tutorial'." Will was a relatively mature looking man with a few wrinkles on his face, quite unfortunate for someone still young like him. He had combed over blond hair however his looks were relatively average and he didn't stand out at all.
Fortunately for him, someone did. It was actually Jake who suffered a slight embarrassment only a few moments beforehand.
"Ahem, I'm Jake, also from the US and 23 years old. I actually have a super power that I call 'Warrior State' that lets me increase my bodily strength by around 2.5x when I activate it."
After Jake spoke, Will and the 2 others who had yet to introduce themselves had a surprised and joyful look on their faces at the revelation that Jake was one of the rumoured super humans that had been all over the world wide news before they were transported here.
Very soon, another one introduced themselves, rather enthusiastically this time.
"I'm Qu Quan, it's a pleasure to meet you all! I'm 19 and from China. I also happen to have a super power as well, it's pretty simple and I call it 'Hawk eyes', it basically give me enhanced vision and allows me to even see relatively well in the dark, and even focus on objects as if they were right in front of me from over a kilometre away!"
Qu Quan was a rather petite young asian woman who could be called a beauty in some cultures. She had long flowing black hair with some silver highlights at the roots, a popular trend among the youths at the time. He face was also round and cute, like that of someone who had barely reached adulthood. One could only have the desire to protect someone like her when they set eyes upon her.
Everyone was stunned and overjoyed now at the prospect of having two super humans on the team, their chances of survival would greatly increase now that they had two people whose powers would even be useful in a survival setting like this!
Soon the 2nd to last person introduced themself.
"I'm Shivi, 34 years old from India. Unfortunately I don't have any super powers like the two of you but I'm very good with a bow. If we can somehow find or make myself a bow and arrows then I can be of use to all of you. By the way, I'm sure you are all aware of the system right? If not just say out loud or in your mind 'Status' and a screen will appear in front of you." Shivi was a brown skinned man with a fair complexion and dark hair like the others, with only slightly above average looks.
At the mention of the system, the others seemed to be enlightened and said 'Status' like he said and wore amazed looks on their faces as their eyes darted around.
However Jake was the first to wake up from his amazement and didn't forget to ask the final person for their name.
"My name is Lumen."
Of course this final person was Lumen.
