TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

Chapter 5: Arriving on the Dark Continent

The young man did not know how to decide. For each option seemed to be extremely dangerous.

"I almost forgot ... I completed the tutorial, but I don't know if I won anything or not ..." The young man did not know what he had received as a reward.

"I remember that to open the status window I just need to think about it"

"It worked." The young man was happy to see that the window opened.

But contrary to his expectation, there was not much information in the status window.

Name: Liu Yang.

Level: 0

Attribute points to use: 2

Strength: 0

Agility: 0

Vitality: 0

Intelligence: 0

Skill points to use: 1

"Interesting ... Somehow, the system knows my name" Liu Yang was surprised by this. He did not imagine that something like this could happen.

"It seems that everyone has the same attributes in the beginning, but what we learned before coming to the island was maintained ... If a fight happens between two people at level 0. The person who had physical training before will win ..." Liu Yang understood some things after looking at the status window.

"Interesting It seems that those who complete the tutorial will have more advantages in the beginning. Two attribute points and one skill point is a lot. "

"My physical body is very weak these days. I have neither strength nor physical endurance I need these two attributes at the moment "Liu Yang added the two points in strength and vitality.

"What is it?? I feel like my body gets stronger "A hot energy entered Liu Yang's body and spread throughout his body.

"There is only one way to test this" Liu Yang held the shield in one hand and held it up. He started to count the time.

"Before, I could only take this seven-hundred-gram shield up for about forty seconds.

"It really tires a lot" Lifting something with the arm and keeping it horizontal for a long time tires the arm very quickly.

A minute later ...

"One minute This is twenty seconds more. My strength has increased considerably, moreover, my energy recovery has become faster "Liu Yang felt his arm regain strength faster than normal.

"If I fight someone who works out daily, I can still take some time with my new power ..." Liu Yang returned to the table, he wanted to decide to see which city he would choose as his starting village.

"Among these creatures, sea and desert mutant beast are the most deadly, because they have the power to camouflage in their territories. Choosing this location is very dangerous, at least for someone with no training like me. These two villages are discarded." He started analyzing the locations and using the information from the things he learned during his life playing video games and reading novels.

Village A and Village B were discarded.

"Mutant beasts This place must be close to a forest to have this type of creature, this type of place is also dangerous because there are many animals hidden. I won't be able to deal with that."

Village C was also discarded.

"Demons or zombies? Which of these two should I choose? Demons can fight in the shadow. Dark Continent is covered by a dark mist, this should increase their combat powers. Zombies ... They are slow creatures that smell humans, despite the large amount, they do not have many types of attacks like other creatures. I think they are a safer choice, but the problem is the ability to cause wounds that turn others into zombies."

Village D was discarded.

"What should I do?" Liu Yang was thinking about the pros and cons of each of the five villages.

Village E is a doubt.

"I will go to Village E, the land of carnivorous zombies." Liu Yang thought for a while before deciding to go to Village E.

Liu Yang touched the point on the map where City E. is located. Since all the villages were on the edge of the continent, there was not much difference between the locations. But each location had its peculiarities.

Village A for example had a large forest, Village B had surrounding lakes, Village C had deserts, Village D had caves, and Village E was a large plain with broken villages and towns.

"Are you sure about that choice? Once you choose this option, it cannot be changed "A message appeared when Liu Yang chose Village E.

"Yes. I'm sure"

"Choice confirmed"

"Choose a skill from the three available. You have the option of looking at the chosen card "A screen appeared in front of Liu Yang.

Three cards. Each of the cards had a drawing of a skull drawn.

"It looks like the skills will be random ... Which card should I choose?" Liu Yang didn't know what to do at the moment.

Each card had a different skill, if he chose a bad skill, his start would be disastrous. If he chooses a good skill, his adventure will be smoother.

"What to do??" Liu Yang was thoughtful for a few minutes.

"If you don't choose in the next five seconds. A random card will be chosen. The ability will be random among thousands of them. The skill will still be related to Village E "

"A skill among thousands? So do you mean that I can receive an ability that does not belong to these three cards? Interesting. This is the best possible option for me "Liu Yang was a very bad person in making choices, so he preferred to let the system choose for him.

"5 4 3 2 1 Skill is chosen at random."

Seconds after the skill was chosen, the map started to shine brightly. The light completely covered Liu Yang's body. He disappeared from the scene.

Somewhere on the edge of the Dark Continent ...

The village was small and had only a few dozen buildings. The buildings were rustic and made of clay and straw. The place looked like a country village.

Some lights flashed and several people appeared.

The people around looked inquisitively to see who the new people in the place were.

"Who do you think will appear this time? A normal person or a condemned? "

"I don't know. Both always appear, so there is no reason to ask that "

"Hehe ... I'm curious if they will have the courage to leave or prefer to stay in the village forever"

"Are you already trying to kill someone? We need to take it easy. We have orders to follow. "

"I just miss seeing someone die in front of me"

Many conversations arose when these people appeared. It looks like they were the newbies who just arrived while the veterans were already trying to decide their fates.

The vast majority of people at the site had ecstatic faces because they were seeing new people. These people were people condemned of murder, terrorism, torture, and among other types of things.

As the vast majority of those chosen for the experiment were this type of person. They were the majority of humans on the Dark Continent.

Everyone at the site was of different ethnicities and countries. For some reason, they all speak the same language, the language of the Dark Continent.

Liu Yang appeared among the new people. Him and seven more. It seems that there were not many people interested in killing zombies.

"Hello. We warmly welcome you. New inhabitants of the Dark Continent "A big and burly man appeared before the eight. He had a smile on his face, but the big scar on the left side made his smile quite hideous.

A frightening aura was being emanated from his body. He was trying to show others that he was the head of the place.

"Who are you?" Another burly man spoke. He has already raised his guard to the other side.

As a new world, novices were prey for veterans. This was a natural thing to happen.

"My name is James Hunt, it is a pleasure to meet you" He formally introduced himself, but the wild and intimidating aura has not been removed.

"So you're James Hunt" The burly man held out his hand, but before, he made a quick gesture with his fingers. No one understood what that gesture was, but James Hunt knew what it meant.

"I see ... So you are a good friend who was sent here ..." The two shook hands.

James Hunt's words and actions had hidden meanings, only a small portion of people know what that means.

"Hey, guys!!! I met a good friend today. Tonight, the prostitutes will be paid for by me !!! " James Hunt turned to the crowd and shouted.

"Whoaaaa !!!!!!!!!!" The men screamed with joy. They immediately ran towards the only brothel in the village.

The Dark Continent had no rules or anything. The prevailing law is the law of the jungle. The strong devour the weak.

Those who were sent to the continent, but were fearful and did not dare to fight, they will be dominated by those who fought and became strong.

In the Dark Continent, there was no government or military. People on the continent can do what they want without fear of the consequences.

However, there was a detail, if everything were rampant and without rules. Everything would have turned into great chaos and everyone had a high chance of dying. To prevent these things from happening, some rules and hierarchies were created to maintain order, at least on the surface.

Those who work exploring dangerous locations and kill creatures and level up. These people will receive the best benefits, whether male or female.

While those who do nothing will have to do the work of servants, whether men or women.

Women have more benefits if she is beautiful, as many men covet her beauty. These women did not have the option to refuse because they can be dragged and thrown to the zombies and will be killed. Thus, no woman refuses when they are approached by those who go out to fight.

In exchange for the woman services, men offer food and protection. However, it is necessary to know that there are men who like to play, but when the fun ends, these women were abandoned and end up becoming prostitutes in a brothel or bars.

Weaker men could only do manual labor such as carpentry, construction, factories, and such.

As in the world outside the Dark Continent, manual skills also work. How to build houses, sew clothes, and stuff.

Despite not having advanced technology as in the world outside the continent. On the Dark Continent, there were still some things that people created, like weapons, as there was no gunpowder in the place.

Magic was the main source of power on the Dark Continent.
