Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 1)

Chapter 1. My Stats are Below Average (1)

[The tutorial will begin.]

"What the..."

Just as I was going to swear, I looked around and saw the interiors of a dark building. I saw unknown patterns through the faint light. The interior was completely different from the buildings that were on Earth. My mouth naturally widened because of the things I'd never seen before. While I've never seen the inside of a pyramid before, it probably looked like this.

I rolled my eyes because of the extremely unrealistic situation I was in. The last thing I remembered doing was eating with my little sister.

'What in the world happened...'

This was what I remember. I had received an unknown text through my phone.

- Will you participate in the game? -

I had pressed the button without thinking because I thought it was a game invitation from a friend. That was it. That was all I remember.

My chin and legs began trembling because I couldn't understand this situation. I was suddenly at a place I had never seen before; it was only natural that I was confused.

The atmosphere here was eerie. Maybe it was because the surroundings were similar to a scene from a horror movie, but all the people here were terrified.

Before I could start thinking of anything else, I heard many whispers around me.

"Wh, what is this place?"

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

"I... is there anyone else here? What is this place... and why are there swords and weapons here?"

"Would we be standing here like this if we knew? Everyone seems to be in the same situation as us. Do you remember anything?"

"Excuse me! Is anyone there? Excuse me!"

Everyone started talking and acting in their own way. A person was even sitting on the floor and another was pinching their cheeks to see if they were dreaming.

'It's not a dream.'

It wasn't a dream and I am not alone here. Nothing felt out of place; everything felt real.

Just as I gulped, the small cave echoed with the system's voice.

[Players, you have been invited to this world. We sent out invitations and the players accepted. You have all been chosen as warriors in order to save the dying Continent.]

"Damn it! We're not warriors!"

"Stop joking around and come out, you jerks!"

"I, I'm going to call the police. I, I'm going to call the police."

"Are you doing a hidden camera prank? You can get sued. Sued!"

[However, not everyone can go to the Continent. Only a handful of people that survived the tutorial are qualified to go.]

"What the hell are you talking about?!"

[Please pay attention to what I am about to say. It is directly tied to your survival.]

When I heard the word 'survival' within this strange room, I suddenly came back to my senses.

[I will say it once more. Only a handful of people that survived the tutorial are qualified to go to the Continent.]

"What... are you saying that you're going to kill us or something?"

[That's all up to you. What I am about to tell you is related to your survival. They are going to be necessary elements moving forward. This is not a dream. This is the reality that you're facing. I do not recommend being in denial. As the guide of this tutorial, my job is to help all of you.]
