After contemplating the rules on the hologram window Kaoru was stupefied and also some uneasiness was seen on his face , this was an absurd and terrifying situation , not only from now on they needed to survive in this foreign environment but also the risk of dying was fairly high .

“Kaoru from now on I think we are seriously in a really dangerous situation “said Araki with a serious look

“It seems we have to leave this safe zone or we will starve to death “replied Kaoru

The two of them looked around and noticed the transparent membrane enveloping them, they tried to touch but they easily passed through, the safe zone was large enough to accommodate six people.

“No I don’t want to die!!! Why did this happen to me I was only working not long ago “Natsuki succumbed to her fears and panicked wildly

“Hey please calm yourself, there is no use in crying or lamenting the only thing we can do is try to escape this predicament “

“ahaha!! Escape?!! And how do we do that mister know it all “the rude girl was apparently named Satsuki and she was still rude as ever.

“Hey he is right it’s no use to be confused at this time “said the middle aged man he also was named Satobe and he was an owner of a small company he was in a reunion when he was sent in the white room, so far he never lost his self in fear so it was good to at least talk calmly.

“You fucking old man!! don’t fuck with me “retorted the rude girl Satsuki

Kaoru glanced at her and grinned.                               

“You!!! Why are you smiling “seeing Kaoru grinning and looking at her, Satsuki was furious.

“Nothing it’s only because usually the first ones to die are the type of people that are similar to you “Kaoru calmly replied with an expressionless face.

“What, you fuck ...” Satsuki didn’t find words because she was so pissed.

Kaoru then moved his look to Araki.

“Araki what do we do now we can’t lose our time on this, we need to find food, the sooner the better “said Kaoru coolly.

“Your right, we have no time to argue, let’s decide on what we will do immediately “

The group of six then sated in circle to decide what they will do from now on, Satsuki reluctantly agreed but if a simple stare can kill a person then Kaoru would have died long ago.

For some time they discussed about the rules of this survival game and how to use the micro ship because that was the only advantage they had.

“Okay if you listened to that Elios or something I recon that he said a map will be sent to our micro ships but we don’t know how to take a look at it so the first thing we need to do is know how to use the ship “explained Araki then he looked at Kaoru

“Kaoru what do you think? “

“Hm? Ah I agree with you remember he also said to imagine the word ‘rules’ and they appeared, maybe imagining the word ‘map’ will work?” suggested Kaoru

The other four didn’t refute the reasoning of Kaoru so they nodded except Satsuki of course.

“The lets imagine the word ‘map’ and see if it works “said Araki

The six of them then tried immediately, Kaoru shut his eyes and imagined the word map clearly in his mind, the same phenomenon happened and a hologram appeared it was of course a map, he succeeded, and it actually worked, what appeared was a detailed map with information and a list containing what kind of regions existed but what astonished Kaoru was that it was big, too big, according to this its truly is a planet.

In fact it was big but not as big as earth, it can be said that this planet was as large as 1/3 of the earth.

There was information about the location of safe zones, about the type of environment like deserts forests seas, also about places with food, but most and foremost about the abode of the God Attis, the final destination to clear this Game.

After thoughtfully inspecting the map the group of Kaoru decided to look for the nearest food zone to replenish themselves.

“According to the map the nearest food zone is outside this purple forest in the north, there is also a small river that penetrates the forest from the east so we can secure water “Araki completely immersed himself in his leader role.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

Kaoru began to understand the characters of his teammates , Araki was weird but he is not a bad person , Natsuki cries a Lot but she seems to easily frightened , the middle aged man Satobe appear to be calm but Kaoru didn’t talk much to him to understand his personality , but he disliked Satsuki , she is rude and immature .

“The nearest safe zone is too far from here so we can’t take the risk to go with the totality of the group” Araki considered this after a long time, the first rule stated that creatures lurk around so it was too dangerous to adventure blindly.

“I suggest choosing some of us to at least take a look deeper in the forest to inspect the surroundings “Kaoru didn’t realize that he was smiling.

Kaoru didn’t also realize that Araki also thought of him as strange normally being thrown in this situation isn’t something to smile at or grin but Kaoru appeared in the contrary exited.

(I don’t know if this is reality or not but at last something interesting happened, I may have awaited this day to come) Kaoru was thinking deep inside his heart.

Araki was gazing at Kaoru strangely for a second but shifted his look at everyone.

“Like Kaoru said we will choose who will volunteer?”

“I don’t want to go you can kill yourselves but not I “said the rude girl

“Humph! Its better like this “said Kaoru disdainfully

“You “!!! Shouted Satsuki.

“I’m willing to go “the middle age man Satobe moved forward and said with a serious look.

“Then Satobe –san, and you Natsuki -san? “Asked Araki.

Natsuki was startled then with a frightened look shacked her head making the sign no.

“Okay that leaves me and you Kaoru “

“It’s a given that I will go “said Kaoru instantly.

“Then we three will go and you two will wait here if after one hour we didn’t come then ...”

The three males in the group then prepared to leave the transparent membrane and headed inside the purple forest , the sky was still light green its seems that the notion of time here is not the same as earth because this planet turning speed is slower .

The Inside of the forest was not too dark some rays of the sun illuminated the paths for a better vision , the scenery was still shocking , purple trees and weird vegetations , there was too many colours and too many distinct vegetation , hopefully it was not too difficult to move . 

The three of them advanced slowly and carefully , Araki was from time to time glancing at the map to see what direction is right after a while they reached the small river .

“We finally reached here, we can drink at last “said Satobe

“Yeah I’m thirsty “said Araki

Looking at them Kaoru spoke.

“I feel uneasy, this forest is too quite, its absolute silence, I think it’s a bad omen “

“We are not too far if something happens we can return quickly its only 2 or three kilometres far “tried to reassure Araki

Kaoru decided to ignore his uneasiness and began to drink some water but when looking at the water in front of Satobe he noticed that a dark shadow was moving.

“Quick!!! Satobe –san move from there!!!!! “Kaoru shouted loudly.

                                                    ----------------------------------------

On the other hand in the safe zone Natsuki and Satsuki were sitting far apart and kept quite.

Sfx : guaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!

“Huh? Wwww...What was that cry? “NAtsuki was startled.

Satsuki body was trembling and her face was pale from fear.
