When the white light cleared up, I arrived at the First Town with stone and wooden Eastern European-like buildings are lined up around a prominent plaza with a beautiful fountain.

Rena: „So many…”

The place was crowded with people, probably some players mixed in as they were dressed in the same starter gear as me. People with social anxiety with are very likely to physically convulse at the sight. The people here alone already numbered in three digits probably.

Rena: „Well, anyhow…”

When I look around, I was able to see that there were certain hotspots where the crowd was way denser. At the center of the First Town is an NPC called „Tutorial Uncle” and „Our Aniki”, who are dressed like soldiers from the military of a country.

In this game, NPCs that appeared in the beta version will not change their speech and conduct towards real people, which also includes the first NPC that the players will encounter as he’s very popular among players due to his very realistic mannerisms and friendly character.

When a player appeared and tried to have a real consultation about how to avoid his divorce in the beta version, the NPC answered everything seriously, and thus he became very popular and a hot topic on the various forums discussing the game. Since this NPC explains the player how to properly hunt monsters, how to use skills and magic and various other things for the first quest, as his name suggests, the game hints that it is necessary for the players to talk to this NPC first.

Rena: „This is really a lot to take in…”

After I got tired of looking around, I tried getting close to the Tutorial Uncle but there are so many people blocking him it felt really awkward pushing through the crowd.

Rena: „Umm…”

Uncle: „Hmm? Aah, you are also a migrant, right?”

Rena: „Well, yes.”

I could nally talk to him… there really are way too many players for a single NPC… But interesting that NPCs call us migrants.

Uncle: „Do you want to ask me something?”

Rena: „Yes, I just came here and there’s a lot of things that I don’t understand.”

Uncle: „If it’s like that, then this quest might be a…”

Rena: „so that’s why, I will need you to die.”

I pulled out the starter dagger that I had and decapitated the Tutorial Uncle.

???: „Huh?”

Suddenly the fountain plaza, as if time had stopped, was deathly quiet.

Rena: „…alright”

The dagger cast a faint red-black effect when I decapitated the uncle, which is the proof that the Surprise Attack skill was activated. Though, it would seem that as the name suggests, it was a surprise attack rather than a stealthy assassination and it would activate even if you attacked suddenly from the front, this is good.

Blood spurted out like a fountain from the decapitated body, probably because I set the depiction setting to real-life basis. Is there any player who saw it in its full beautiful glory like me?

Oh? I suddenly got a lot of announcements. Well, that’s obvious as I’m still a Level 1 here and just

killed a countries soldier. For the rest… I’ll check it later. Instead, I cannot afford to miss this opportunity when there’s a vast number of players here.

Rena: „ ...Fuh!”

While the others were still processing on what just happened, I decapitated the two players who just had a friendly chat with the Tutorial Uncle before in one got in. Because of real-life basis setting, they didn’t transform into particles of light and disappeared, but instead they fell down while they were spurting out bloodlike pretty little fountains. As I was thinking that I quickly rushed into the crowd, decapitated everyone, pierced their hearts, and stabbed their throats like a random assailant.

Player A: „W-what?!”

If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

Player B: „Aniki is...!!”

Player C: „GYAAAAAAAA!!”

Player D: „What’s wrong? What is happening?!!”

Player E: „I don’t even know!”

NPC: „S-SOMEONE! PLEASE HELP!!”

When they finally came back to their senses, it was already too late. I kicked my current target’s leg and stabbed him from the front…and pierced his throat before cutting him in mid-air. I, then grabbed the corpse and threw it as a cover while I went for the hunt for another players’ neck. As the PKs continued, it spread the chaos even further.

Player F: „Ah! It’s that girl!”

Player G: „That son of a bitch!”

Player H: „KILL HER!!”

Player I: „Seize her!”

Some of the confused players have started to respond, are they from the beta version? Well, I won’t deviate on killing everyone anyway as I have already PK-ed a total of two digits.

Player G: „Everyone calm down! Make some space!”

Player I: „Go surround her!”

Those who were calmed down tried to calm everyone else down and tried to take control of the situation but their cries for order were like boiling water on a heated stone.

Player G: „This piece of sh...”

Before he was able to finish his sentence, I was already on top of him and removed his head with a neat slicing motion, but at the cost of getting surrounded by two parties.

Player H: „Bastard! How dare you do that to Aniki!”

Player J: „Aren’t you going a little bit too far?”

Player I: „You’re now surrounded by at least 11 people. Just give up and die!”

There are three swordsmen for the vanguard with one spear-user and axe-user on each side, and four people who look like magicians and two archers in the back… If I don’t move, they will annihilate me, but if I charge in, the vanguard will beat me up, and to make matters worse, if I take too long here, the other players who have just returned to their senses will join in the battle. Then, the only option I have left is….

Rena: „There’s no choice but to escape, I see.”

Player I: „Ah! Wait, you bastard!”

I’m not a bastard, but I guess it’s a good they are still trying to talk with me lets me up my kill count because I’m still running through the fountain plaza killing random NPCs who were running a stalls and players who were still too slow to grasp the situation.

Player J: „tsk!! That girl is still killing people!”

Uh oh, when I looked back, the rear guard had terrible scowls on their faces.

Player K: „Shi-!!”

The archer readied an arrow, so I just grabbed a child which was nearby as a shield.

Player K: „Are you a human?!”

Are you a human is probably a no for me. Well, I also think that I’m a bad person, though. Anyway, I threw the kid behind me after stabbing it in its stomach. Maybe they get distracted.

Player H: „Dangerous-!”

Player I: „tsk! If we don’t heal that child quickly, he will die!”

One of the swordsmen caught the child but as his vision got blocked momentarily by catching the child, I stabbed him through the in his heart through the child’s arm with my dagger. I then decapitate the priest girl who seemed to be running to help the child.

Player L: „Ryne! Cherry!”

It’s Ryne-san and Cherry-san, I see. But to be honest I don’t care at all. As I went behind the distracted spear-user I kicked the back of his knees then tightened my grip around his neck and twisted it. I made sure that all his HP were gone along with the signature wet popping of his breaking spine.

Maybe because I set it real-life basis, his eyes went into the back of his head, and he spewed foam from his mouth. Well, I will just leave him be as it is, thus I kicked his stomach, took his spear and threw it into the rear guard.

As I tried to charge to the second swordsman who rushed to repel the spear, I saw a big axe glinting in the corner of my vision. I evaded it with somersault and threw my dagger at the axe-user which resulting in a wonderful headshot.

It felt truly wonderful.

Rena: „Two vanguard swordsmen, three magicians and two archers remain, I see…”

The guard NPCs and the players are gradually recovering from the confusion. There isn’t much time left……

Rena: „Let’s end it here…”

Player I: „tsk!”

Player J: „Rear guards, assemble! We don’t have enough hands here!”

I charged towards the rear guard again and ignored the two vanguards. When the two flustered swordsmen rushed back to the rear guard so that they could protect them I turned around again as I don’t need to deal with them. I used my opening.

Player I & J: „Aaaahhh!”

I escaped and rushed out of the town while stabbing and decapitating some mob NPCs as per usual. Because I’m not familiar with the back alleys I cannot disappear into the crowd there, I ran through the main street as it is and pulled the NPCs and players who still couldn’t comprehend what was happening and pushed them into the way of my pursuers.

I pulled down the fully loaded stalls and threw launched weapons that I took while on my killing spree. The few unlucky players that got headshot and died instantly.

My pursuers were likely to catch up to me shortly, but I stopped and jumped backwards and launched a few weapons at them. Funny enough my haphazardly thrown weapon hit another players’ throat and killed them. While running stole some goods from the stalls and continued my escape.

If I have some time, I will sell these essential items to make a little money since I couldn’t get my starting quest. While thinking about my future plans, I reached the outskirts of the town.

NPC: „You there! Stop!”

The gatekeeper ordered me to stop when the gate came into view, but I ignored him while dashing past him.

Escaping from the First town was a great success.

Will they decide to withdraw from pursuing me as the area will change into a zone not really explored by players yet?

Well, they’re still chasing me, so I’ll try to lose them in the forest south from the town which is looming in front of me now.

Player M: „Wait!”

Player N: „Hey, is this an event?”

Player O: „Isn’t it too fast for an event? This is only the second day of service, right?”

Player P: „Well for now, we should try to catch that girl first, I guess?”

The pursuit seems to be attracting players who have no idea what is going on. But im not worried about my ability to escape them now.

Rena: „Now then…”

I reached the South Forest and just ran deep into it. I, then hid in the shade of a large tree….cut my throat and committed suicide.
