When I came out of that room, I slightly tumbled on the ground. I looked back, only to see the blackhole immediately vanishing on my sight.
Squeezing my eyes, I uttered, disbelief, "Nasa loob na ba ako ng game?"
I stared dumbfounded at nothingness. This is fcking real. Nasa loob na talaga ako ng pesteng larong ito.
Base from my surrounding, it looks like I am in the midst of a forest, a bizarre forest. Sobrang laki at lawak ng mga puno rito. Looking at these enormous trees, nagmumukha akong langgam sa sobrang laki nila.
The dense leaves covered the whole area and the sky, making the surrounding dark. The atmosphere is kinda creepy. I could feel goosebumps crawling on my skin.
I looked up. The sun was peeping behind these gigantic trees. Hindi makapasok ang sinag ng araw rito sa loob kaya parang gabi dito sa loob ng forest. However, although dark, I could still clearly see the surrounding around. Parang nagkaroon ako ng night vision.
After determining there is nothing wrong around, I looked down and studied my body.
".....??!"
Sobrang cool!
Akalain mo iyon, I really turned into a kid. My hands felt soft and small. It was tiny and frail. My body shrunk into a size of a 12 years old kid. I never imagined I would personally experience this kind of phenomenon. Maganda rin pala ang larong ito.
"This is awesome," I muttered to myself.
With my small figure wearing a dark cloak and an eye patch, this will probably attract any creature. I should have chosen clothes more appropriate in hiding and not too catchy to wear.
Hindi muna ako gumalaw sa aking kinatatayuan at napagdesisyunang magmasid muna sa paligid. Wala pa akong naiisipang plano kung ano ang una kong gagawin. One thing I know for sure, I definitely need to kill monsters in order to reach level 30. The goal here is to reach level 30 fast as I could to get out of here.
According to Blue, all I need to do is to kill monsters and accumulate experience points. I guess, the plan for now is to look for a monster and try to kill it.
There seem to be no suspicious creature around as I roam my eyes for how many minutes. Since kakapasok ko palang dito, I should prepare myself first.
I walked to a nearest tree and decided to temporarily hide beneath its root. The roots of the trees around are big, enough to cover anything small. Umupo ako sa pagitan ng mga ugat sa punong pinili ko at nahulog sa malalim na pag-iisip.
The spot I am currently hiding would be hard to notice. If someone passes by, for sure they'll never know that there is a person hiding underneath these roots, unless they had abilities that could detect other players.
Well, the main reason why I want to temporarily hide is to test the informations I got from Blue and from the manual. It is better to be safe. A soldier without a gun is like walking to a den full of tiger. I need to be prepared if I want to get out of this stupid game.
Pinakiramdaman ko muna ang paligid. Nang malamang wala namang kahit ano, I took a deep sigh and started to experiment.
The manual told me that each player has their own space exclusive only for them. It is called mindspace, a different dimension wherein a player could see their information, locate their abilities and store accessories in it. There are also other functions of this space and I am yet to find it.
In order to access the mindspace, one should only think of the word 'mindspace' and utter it. I learned it immediately after a few attempt. Kaya no'ng inisip ko at binigkas ito nang mahina, agad akong napunta sa ibang dimensyon.
