[Start the tutorial.]

"What is this...."

I spat out curses while I looked around at the interior of a darkened structure.

In the dim light, I could see some unknown patterns.

It was a completely different shape than any building on Earth. It was the first time I'd ever seen anything like it, so naturally, my mouth fell open.

I've never been inside a pyramid, but I'm sure it would look like this.

In this unrealistic situation, I took a moment to roll my eyes.

My last memory was of eating with my sister.

'What happened? What the hell....'

If I recall, it was like this.

I got an unfamiliar Kakaotalk message on my phone.1

-Do you want to join the game?-

I thought it was a game invitation from a friend, and I just clicked the button without thinking about it.

That was it.

That was the only thing I could remember.

My legs were trembling. I couldn't comprehend the situation.

Suddenly, I found myself somewhere I'd never seen before in my life.

It was no wonder that I couldn't understand it.

What stood out was the atmosphere here.

It was like a horror movie that would terrify most people.

Before I could think of anything else, I heard several voices around me.

"Hey, where are we?"

"Don't ask me. I don't know."

"Well, is anyone else here? What the hell is this place... And why are there swords and weapons here?"

"If I knew that, would we be doing this? I think we're all in the same situation. Do you remember anything?"

"Hey! Is anyone there? Hey!"

People started talking.

Someone was sitting on the floor, pinching their cheek to see if this was a dream.

They were all different.

'It's not a dream.'

It wasn't a dream, and I wasn't alone.

It seemed ridiculously smooth.

When I swallowed for a moment, a sound rang in the small cave.

[Players are invited to this world. We sent an invitation to the player, and the player accepted it. You were chosen as a hero to save the dying continent.]

"My god! What a hero!"

"Quit messing around in there and come out, you bastards!"

"Sir, I'll call the police. Sir, I'm calling the police."

"Is there a hidden camera? I'll sue. This is a complaint!"

[But not everyone can head to the continent. The only people eligible to go are those few who passed the tutorial.]

"What nonsense!"

[Please pay attention to what I say next. It's directly related to your survival.]

I suddenly sobered up.

Because in this weird atmosphere, I heard the word "survival".

[Let me repeat that. Only those who survive this tutorial will be allowed to go to the continent.]
