Chapter 01: Meet your Taker
---------------
Inside a white space, 5 bodies could be seen sprawled randomly. These people’s clothing was varied from one person to another. One was wearing metal armor while another was wearing a blue robe. A girl wearing a priest vestment was lying next to another girl wearing extremely sensual attire. The last person was a youth clad in black clothing with only the upper part of his head was seen.
After quite a long time had passed, these people woke up one by one. The first one to wake up was a man wearing the blue robe. When waking up, he was startled at first but kept his cool afterwards. The next person to wake up was a girl wearing the priest vestment followed by the girl next to her with an alluring body. The last one to wake up was a large man wearing the metal armor.
“Where are we?” questioned the large man.
The people there said nothing to answer the man. The kept looking at each other but no one said a thing. The curious ones kept looking around the space to find something that could give a clue on their situation but nothing was found.
At one part of the space, a youth clad in black was sitting on the ground while using his hand to support his head. He looked at the people there and then turned his gaze to an empty spot. Though it seemed like he wasn’t doing anything, he was actually thinking about what had actually happened.
‘I was pretty sure that I was in my room earlier, but right now I’m in this weird place. My clothes, for some reason, had turned into the legendary equipment that I had just received inside the game. Even the weapons are here,’ thought the youth.
The youth looked back at the other people and saw that they too were wearing something that could only be seen in games or TV shows. From the looks of it, there was a warrior with a huge build, a proud mage, a priest and the last person was probably a dancer.
“One tank class, two DPS, and two support. If we’re in a game, this setup is pretty balanced,” silently muttered the youth.
Just as he was about to continue his thinking, a crack suddenly appeared above the white space. From a small one, it spread until it was shaped as an ellipse. When the two ends met, the space inside it shattered and a blurry silhouette came out from it.
The shape of the silhouette was certainly humanoid but the features were concealed behind the blur. Its size alone was over 50 meters tall. Everyone in the space was agape when seeing the silhouette’s sudden appearance. After the silhouette examined the surrounding, it started speaking.
“Humans who had been summoned. You have been chosen to live in another world. As you can see, you have been given the abilities of your character of the game that you’ve been playing. Each one of the character had been picked from different games so your abilities are totally different. This means that there would be no merit in discussing about character building once you enter the new world. You will learn how to survive in this world and the strongest of you lot would be chosen as my, the 13th God, Champion for the upcoming war. That is all from me, adieu.”
After it had finished speaking, it immediately entered back into the hole that appeared and the space regained its original looks without any damage. Five magic circles appeared inside the space and signs with ‘Exit’ written on it was placed near the magic circles. The five people there were still dumbfounded and still hadn’t moved even a little bit.
These people surely would have a lot of questions that they wanted to ask to the silhouette called 13th God but since everything happened so quickly, nobody got a chance to do anything. They don’t know what to do next but they hesitated to ask each other since no one here really knows who the other people are.
The silence was interrupted when a ‘ting’ sound was heard in the people’s head and a screen with the same UI as the game they played appeared in front of them. The youth in black who saw the UI of the game he played was initially shocked but he remembered a lot of Web Novels that he had read had elements like this so he examined them. The others did the same thing too.
“Status, inventory, skills, HP and MP bar… except anything related to Item Mall and settings, it seems like everything’s still the same. No changes at all.”

“Urgh, seeing this skill list would always make me sick. *Sigh* let’s just quickly choose the usual ones to put at the hotkey,” Complained the youth now named Neraz. “But still, to think that my name would be the one I used in-game. I wonder if I look like my game character or like myself. Meh, I’ll just find a mirror later.”
After he finished preparing everything, he looked around to see that there were only three people inside left including him. The other two were the mage and the priest. Looking at the magic circles, only three of them are left so the others had probably left earlier.
“Well, the range of skills for mages and priests are wide so of course they need to make sure that their skill set is flawless. Otherwise, they’d just be wasting time and mana,” said Neraz.
Not giving a second glance to the two people, Neraz immediately entered one of the magic circles that had not vanished yet. When he stepped onto it, his body was enveloped with a bright light and his vision became blurred. His felt dizzy and the feeling of wanting to throw up was really strong but he held it in. After a few seconds, his vision returned and the dizziness had dissipated.
When he regained his vision, he realized that he was inside a forest and was being surrounded. The things surrounding him were 20 humanoid creatures with pig heads. They were holding weapons such as swords and clubs. The creatures’ sizes were thrice as big as Neraz but their speed was miniscule. From Neraz’s knowledge, these creatures were called orcs back in his world.
“I haven’t even moved a step yet but I’m already surrounded,” said Neraz.
The creatures surrounding him were making snorting noises and started attacking him.
“Well then shall we start the game?” Neraz said while making a cold smile.
He first sprinted to the nearest orc and initiated a roundhouse kick to its stomach. He did this because he wanted to test the defense of the opponent. If it was strong, he would use a skill and if not, well, just by using basic attacks would be enough to finish them. When his leg landed on the orc, its innards exploded and Neraz being the one who attacked had no way to dodge the disgusting substances called faeces, or better known as shit.
Being covered in shit, Neraz was enraged and used a skill even though the opponents were weak. He activated [Dark Formation], the skill that he used to finish off the dragon in the dungeon, to kill the bastards. His weapon on his left hand, the crook, started glowing and he stabbed them into the ground. A large formation appeared and in an instant, the orcs were completely annihilated.
Neraz looked around to see whether there were any orcs that were able to escape before the formation was completed and from his observation, there doesn’t seem to be any. The orcs that were killed left nothing behind. Not even the bones.
After he checked the surrounding area, Neraz used a rock to decide the direction of where to go. He threw the rock upwards and when it landed, the direction that the rock rolled to was south so Neraz decided to go that way.
“I’ll take that those orcs earlier were mobs for tutorial. Now that I had finished it, next would be the town.”

Damn tables. Now I understand what it feels like to make 'em. So troublesome, even with that table maker. I can't even imagine how could people persevere before the maker was released. Anyway, no interaction between characters for now. Not even with the God. People being distrustful and all. I'll move the plot forward first.
Hope you enjoyed it.
