Chapter 1: Beginning (prologue)

In this fast-paced world I call home, the rain poured down relentlessly. "Who cares getting fired for a false accusation, Its their loss!" I exclaimed defiantly, my determination shining through. "How could they let go of their best worker? I'll just find another job, no big deal."

Lost in my thoughts, I strolled along the road, my gaze fixated on the ground beneath me. The blaring horns of passing trucks barely registered in my ears. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a truck collided with me. My eyes fluttered open, only to be met with a sea of onlookers staring at me as if I were a fool. Their voices echoed in my ears, their words a mix of sympathy and amusement. "Oh, what a poor soul," they murmured. "Another victim of truct-kun HaHaHaHa!" "Hes too young to die" "Unlucky man..." "He'll be in the manga, bro!" "Someone call an ambulance!"

As I lay there, the only thought that consumed my mind was, "Is this how i'm going to die? I haven't even achieve my dream's of becoming rich and having a familly!" With a heavy heart, I closed my eyes, the last image burned into my memory being the distant red and blue lights of the approaching ambulance.

Suddenly, a voice echoed in my mind, shattering the darkness that enveloped me. "System generating... 1%... 2%... 6%... 33%... 77%... 84%... 98%... 100%... Generating complete!" My eyes fluttered open, revealing a desolate and ashen battlefield. "What... what is this?!" I exclaimed, bewildered. "I'm supposed to be dead!" A flashback of being struck by a truck flooded my mind.

Then, the voice inside my head spoke again, interrupting my thoughts. "Generating quest." I looked around, searching for the source of the voice. "Who's there?!" I demanded. The voice responded, "Quest generating complete. Quest: Survive for 1 minute." "What?" I muttered, still trying to comprehend the situation.

Suddenly, a distant mountain erupted in a violent explosion. I watched in awe as the mountain crumbled, sending a massive rock hurtling towards me. "The rock is growing larger by the second..." I realized, panic coursing through my veins. "Oh, fuck!" I sprinted away, narrowly avoiding the impact as the rock crashed into the ground just ten meters away, propelling me into the air and rendering me unconscious.

The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

When I regained consciousness, the sky above me was ominously dark and cloudy. The voice in my head chimed in once more, "Congratulations! You survived for 1 minute!" A blue glow enveloped my body as the voice continued, "You have leveled up. You are now level 3. All your wounds will be healed."

Suddenly, a shadowy figure lunged at me, wrapping their hands around my throat. "Ugh... who... who are you?!" I gasped, struggling to breathe. The person seemed taken aback by my words. "Huh? I don't understand what you're saying, but what are you doing in our territory?" they replied. Confusion washed over me. "What? I can't comprehend you. Let go of me!" Before I could protest further, the person forcefully placed a bag over my head. "Hey, what's going on? Stop this right now!" I shouted, but my words fell on deaf ears. "HaHaHaHaHa! This idiot doesn't know what he's saying. We're taking you to our territory, so stop struggling," the person taunted, knocking me unconscious.

After what felt like an eternity, I slowly opened my eye's and saw... "MOM?!"
