Diary 3:
Should I write an excuse for every cliffhanger anymore? Because let me assure you, I can do this forever, but by now I think that you would feel bored because it has been repetitive. So from now on, we're just gonna continue ok? Cool!
[Welcome back]
Man, I have never hated this system so much. Normally, I would describe to you how sad and depressing I must have felt. But when I got back to the game world, all that I could think of was how did the paper able to make contact with my mom?
If the system didn't interrupt again, who knows how long I would keep standing there thinking.
[Are you sure you want to start the game?]
I got back to reality when hearing that. When I saw and heard those words again, I smiled bitterly.
"I don't have a choice anymore, do I? Yes!"
[The game will now loading]
"Now that it comes to this. I wonder what kind of world it will be," I thought to myself.
[Please be alert]
"Hm? What is that supposed to mea… Woah!"
The atmosphere around me changed completely in an instant. I was inside a dark, large room a second ago to… A BATTLEFIELD!?
As if my sudden appearance was nothing, the people in front of me continued killing each other. The sadness from parting my parents disappeared right away when I saw a guy's hand got cut off. Without a thought, my body jumped in to support him from falling.
"Hey, are you ok?" I asked in shock.

"Uhhh, '' he barely made a sound, "please… please help the general." Suddenly the guy who they were just fighting stabbed the soldier again. My chicken heart now activated, and I ran away from the scene. When I stood up, I heard his last word, "please help the general."
"I am so sorry. I am not that brave. I have to live." I felt guilty thinking even though I don't know the soldier.
I ran for a bit then had to stop because there was another guy, dressed like the one who just killed the soldiers, blocking my path. He has the eyes with the intention to kill. From watching action movies, I know that running away would mean that I will expose my back to him. So I just stood there, holding my ground. I looked at his hand and saw that he had a sword.
"So long-range against short-range," I thought.
He stepped up to stab. If I didn't force myself, I would have jump back instinctively. I put all my courage and surprised him by closing the gap. Now that I am right next to the sword, I grabbed his hand and twisted his wrist. I then took the sword that had fallen mid-air and stabbed him without any hesitation.
If you are wondering how can an ordinary guy like me can kill people quickly with any thoughts? To answer that question: I did feel sick when I stabbed him, but I couldn't afford a second thought because I knew that this was a life and death battle, it is either me or him will die. In situations like these, you have to surpass your sense of goodness.
After killing the guy, I ran to find an escape again. But while I was running, I noticed not far from my position, a beautiful girl was fighting too. She was using a long spear as her weapon and was fighting guys that wore just like the one I killed.
One of the soldiers then knocked off her helmet and revealed her beautiful long hair. Not caring at all, she kept fighting with her hair all dancing around her movements.
My heart skipped a beat when seeing her, and changed my objective completely. I ran towards her, jumped up, and punched a guy. A knockout! That punch should not have done that much damage. Suspicious, I quickly opened the skill tab and saw another hidden ability
/*
[Wisdom of the senses]: 2nd hidden ability: the body rewards its user through experiences.
*/
I took some time to reread this new ability later. From my interpretation, this could mean that my body can 'evolve' when I am experiencing something. Like physical strength at the time because I was in a battle. But back then, during the heated actions, I didn't understand.
I was about to close the tab but then saw that my inventory shows icons of hundreds of new items. I didn't remember physically picking up anything else from the boss besides the paper, so I was confused to see this many new items. I opened the inventory and saw that the items were weapons when the boss tried to kill me.
Without time to think, I grabbed a sword and closed the tab, quickly stabbed another person from behind. Yes, I know that is not fair, but this is war. There is no such thing as fairness.
"Hey! Get out of here!" the girl yelled at me.
"General! We have to get out of here! We are surrounded and staying will only lead to more casualties," I took a wild guess.
"No! My men's bodies will be wasted if I retreat."
"She genuinely cares about her soldiers," I thought.
I realized that having a conversation with her won't change anything, so with another plan in mind. I left her there because I felt confident that she can defend herself after I killed two people. I ran to look for the general of the other side. When I saw him, he was about ten meters away from me. I quickly picked up a spear that was on the ground.
"Activate," I whispered.
[Wisdom of the Senses activated. Start counting down]
"Well I don't need that much time anyway," I thought.
With my senses now enhanced, I saw everyone's movements now slow as turtles. Feeling the wind and waiting for a gap through the sea of people, I threw the spear.
