Within the Planet Earth,
A big projection of a beautiful woman hung over the skies. Every living being on the planet can see her; even those who are underground or in a sealed space.
To summarize her appearance, she's an extremely cute little girl in a gothic lolita dress. She's also carrying a fancy little umbrella on her shoulders.
What sorcery is this!?
"Hello, World~!" she jubilantly said. Her voice sounds so cute and adorable. Strangely enough, everyone could understand what she's saying!
"Ah-hem. I am a Great Goddess by the name of Valkyria Bellatrix! I have come to claim your planet!
In short, Planet Earth will disintegrate and will turn into a mass of energy!
I really want this energy and I've been searching for it for ages... I'm very tired and I really want to laze around in my fluffy bed...
But don't worry, I will allow you to reside in my soon-to-be Supreme World!
To compensate for my selfishness, I will give a "Storage Ring" for each one of you. You can store whatever you want inside! However, it could only contain a weight of 500 kg. Going beyond will cause the ring to explode, scattering all your valuables!!
So be careful~
Oh! The currency that is used in my Prison World is primarily gold, silver, and copper. Make sure you bring as much as you can!" the goth-lolita named Valkyria Bellatrix said. Her comical gestures, childish personality and way of speech baffled everyone.
A second later, a ring immediately appeared on each of every living being. Dogs, cats, even snakes have a ring on their body. This is the 'Storage Ring'
But that's not the most important matter.
She just said that Planet Earth will be destroyed?! How dare she!?
Her revelation caused panic and anger.
All their angry protests and boo's reverberated.
Valkyria Bellatrix, however, continued to speak as if she couldn't hear anyone.
"I know I have caused unhappiness... I'm sorry~
Therefore!!, I will open portals that will lead to my Prison World instead!
You will experience the 'System' and its splendor!
My Prison World has a 'System'. It's the law, the truth, and the absolute authority.
Going against the 'System' will only lead to misfortune.
Uhh, it's very similar to "MMORPG"... I'm sure you will all enjoy it!
Well, you will understand more about it once you experience it yourself~
But~!!
Once you die, you are dead for real! Kyaaa~!" her absurd gestures looked like she's not taking this seriously at all...
"Alrighty! There are only 54 hours left before Planet Earth disintegrates. Before that happens, I will teleport all the living things of this planet to my world!
After my Prison World absorbs this mass of energy, it will evolve into a Supreme World! Wonderful isn't it? Then Supreme World 'System' will decide where everyone will start their adventure!
Oh! I forgot! Inside my Prison World, all of your progress inside will be erased once the Planet Earth disintegrated! I call it, the 'Closed Beta'!
Hehe! Laters~"
After her continuous blabber, she finally bid her farewell.
Her words caused a sensation difficult to express.
Some people didn't believe her, and some did. The powerful figures of the world all understood what had just happened. It's most likely that everything she has said is true!
Suddenly, black holes abruptly appeared out of nowhere. These are the portals that lead to her world!
Every single earthling was stunned. Valkyria Bellatrix's words were true!
The appearance of the portals drove the earthlings to a mad rush. They hurriedly gathered all their important belongings and stored them into their 'Storage Ring'.
The powerful and influential figures of the world hurriedly gathered all their belongings.
It's a competition to obtain the most information about the 'Prison World' and 'System'.
Luna Bellatrix said that a supreme world will emerge after Planet Earth gets absorbed. Therefore, whoever has the most knowledge, has the highest chance of dominating that certain world!
They must establish their foothold and become that world's pioneers!

********
After I evaded Gobutaro's attacks, I would occasionally pick up long, sturdy, and thick pieces of wood; they will serve as my weapons for damage.
Satisfied by the amount of woods I have gathered, I run ahead at full speed and approached a tree filled with plenty of vines.
I will use these vines to my advantage.
'Time to counterattack!' I smiled grimly.
I dropped my weapons to the ground so I can proceed with my plan.
This tree will be the place where I'll kill this gobu.
I increased my speed and ran opposite to the tree where I'll kill him and came to a full stop, waiting for Gobutaro's attack.
Seeing me come to a full stop, Gobutaro mockingly laughed. He seemed to be pleased that I accepted my 'death'.
Suddenly, Gobutaro pounced at me.
Seeing him at mid-air, I waited for the perfect moment to dodge...
'Now!'
I leaned my body forward and side-stepped to the left, perfectly dodging his sharp claws.
At the same time as I side-stepped, I reached my hands to its right ankle while Gobutaro is in mid-air.
I grabbed his right ankle with both my hands and flung him towards a tree from afar! As expected, his weight is incredibly light!

"Up you go!!"
After the moment my hands left Gobutaro's ankle, I ran towards the tree where I'll kill him. Increasing the distance between us will give me time to make a stronger rope.
Crash!
Gobutaro crashed into a tree and howled in pain and anger.
While he is busy with himself, I gathered the vines and made the rope.
I learned this technique from the empire's Military Academy when I was still a noble.
'This should be enough to accommodate Gobutaro's resistance' I thought inwardly.
My plan is to restrain Gobutaro's movements and hang him in this tree! That way, I can freely hit him as much as I want without getting hurt in return!
I have planned 3 phases for this plan. Firstly, make the handcuffs. Secondly, restrain and hang Gobutaro in a tree, and lastly, slug Gobutaro to death using the sturdy pieces wood!
But it is easier said than done. Right now, I'm still in the process of completing the first phase.
Gobutaro recovered and ran towards me at full speed, with an expression full of hate. Unfortunately, I could only make one rope.
After seeing that, I laughed inwardly. He is being played at by a weak level 1 human; of course, he'll get mad.
I immediately ran a roundabout way and arrived at the same position where I dodged and flung Gobutaro. With his low intelligence, he shouldn't be able to realize my intents.
Following my strategy, I once again flung Gobutaro far away.
Within this period of time, I successfully made another rope.
'And done, now to make the handcuffs!' I rejoiced.
As expected, Gobutaro is running towards me again with a similar expression on its face.
I picked up the ropes and ran a distance away from the tree.
This time, while dodging Gobutaro's assault, I will make the handcuffs!
Gobutaro attacked me in mad succession and I dodged skillfully using my Movement Martial Arts and with the help of the topography.
After a series of evasions, I finally finished creating the two handcuffs to shackle Gobutaro's wrists and ankles!
'Now... To complete the second phase...'
"Gobutaro, you ugly and smelly snail! You're so slow! Is that all you have!?" I yelled provokingly.
"What did you say!? I'll eat you!" he yelled in return.
'Hmm? He can speak human language!?' I yelped in surprise inwardly.
Suddenly, Gobutaro prepared a pounce attack. Through my observations, this is his fastest and strongest attack. But for me, this attack is the easiest to evade, and the most prone to counter-attacks.
Within my expectations, Gobutaro pounced at me, and as planned, I will grab his ankles and smash him to the ground. While he's down, I'll immediately shackle his ankles.
'Now!'
I leaned forward and dodged. I grabbed his ankles and side-stepped. His ankles on tightly gripped by me, I spun a 360-degree turn and smashed him to the ground!
Bam!
Gobutaro issued a cry of pain as his body was mercilessly beaten up.
After I slammed Gobutaro to the ground, I used that time to insert the shackles to his feet. With a tug, it tightened so hard that I could see his veins bulging.
Without giving Gobutaro the time to recover, I pulled his feet and lifted him up. With a spin, I smashed him once again to the ground!
Bam!!
This time, his face was slammed to the ground. I pulled his arms to his back as my right foot nailed his torso to the ground.
I immediately used this time to insert the shackles to his wrists. With a tug, it tightened once more.
Those attacks only dealt 2 damage to his HP. An insignificant amount.
After shackling Gobutaro, I pulled his ankles again and flung him towards the tree where I'll kill him.
Following the plan, he crashed into the tree. his arms and feet bound, he could only writhe like a worm.
"Human! Let go of me! I will reward you a swift death if you do!" Gobutaro yelled.
Hearing him say those words, I felt an even more desire to kill him. I picked a tree vine that's already tightly attached to a sturdy branch. I tied it to Gobutaro's feet shackles and pull the vine upwards as I climbed the tree.
A few seconds later, I have successfully completed the second phase.
And now... I will slug him to death!
I picked up one of the sturdy pieces of wood I gathered from the ground. I held it tightly and like a baseball batter, I swung it at full strength towards Gobutaro's body.
Wham!
"Ouch! Stop immediately before I kill you, human!!" he cried in pain.
As if I'm in a trance, I continuously slugged him at full force. He could only issue cries of pain and threaten me with words.
His miserable situation slightly elated me. This is satisfying!!
"Haaa!" I roared. This time, I exceeded my full strength and struck Gobutaro's head!
System messages popped up as soon as I landed the attack.
I smiled sinisterly. So that's how it works!
With a flurry of extremely strong attacks to the head, Gobutaro couldn't even issue a cry of pain as he was in a 'stunned' state.
"Die!"
"Haha!"
"Hahaha!"
......
Somehow, all of my frustrations for 2 years after being exiled, was relieved. I finally released the stress.
But for some reason, I didn't feel bad about what I'm doing.
Instead, I felt indescribable elation budding within me as I kept on slugging him to death.
I attacked Gobutaro's head in rapid succession and inflicted a continuous stun attack. A few minutes later, a brilliant flash of light exploded around my body.
You have successfully learned a Rare Skill: "Battle Trance"! (Passive) Battle Trance - Beginner Lv 1 -The finest art of the raging demons. Increases attack speed upon successive attacks! Attack Speed: +1% per stack (up to 100 times) Stacks of Battle Trance lasts for 20 seconds. Upon reaching 100 stacks, gain "Blood Thirst" buff for 10 seconds. Blood Thirst: -Heals 10% of your damage dealt -Increases Attack Speed by 100% Battle Trance stacks will reset after 'Blood Thirst' duration ends. (Reach 100 stacks to gain 1 point: 0/200 to Level 2)> I leveled up 5 times in succession and learned a rare passive skill. Even though the Trial Grounds are providing me with infinite energy, my mind felt tired. Gobutaro's red blood splattered about everywhere, in my clothes, in my face...His head has been smashed open by me. His brain matters littered the ground. The gore scene created a chilling atmosphere. With the stench of blood pervaded the air, I uncontrollably puked a few times. This is the first time I have killed. I wiped my lips and stood up. On the ground, a piece of clothing suddenly appeared. I picked it up and inspected. Gobutaro is the biggest pervert in their tribe. He used this cloak to peep on the bathing females. But as the Young Master, the females could only endure his atrocious acts. -Hides your scent, aura, and presence, you will become transparent. But you can not pass through objects.> "Cloak of a pervert!? And I can use it to peep on someone, you say!? Indecent! Shame on you Gobutaro!" I yelped. You have slain Gobutaro! Quest has been completed. As a reward, you will be granted 1 level and 10 free stat points!> Suddenly, a variety of crude weapons floated in the air. There are swords, spears, sabers, greatswords, knuckles, daggers, bows, bow quivers, etc This time, I unhesitatingly chose the bow&arrows and a dagger. My proficiency in marksmanship is top-notch, and my skill in wielding the dagger is second. Although I know swordsmanship, I'm not very proficient at it. 'It would be nice If the system rewards me a gun...' My gun-wielding skills are best within the nobility of my generation. I won all the marksmanship awards when I was still a noble. But alas... Requirement: Lv 1 Attack Power: 13-15 Durability: 100/100> Requirement: Lv 1 Attack Power: 10-18 Durability: 100/100> The weapons above the air vanished as I picked the weapons of my choice. Gobutaro has been killed! Gobutaro is the Young Master of a certain Goblin tribe. The tribe has been enraged by you and will not let you go! The Goblin Chief has sent an army of Gobu with a Hobgobu as the commander. A Hobgobu is an evolved form of a Gobu when it reaches level 15. Its stats will be tripled and it will gain a skill! These gobus will gain EXP over time within the Trial Grounds and level up. KILL THEM ALL WITHIN THE TIME LIMIT: 66 hours: 13 minutes: 00 seconds The faster you complete this quest, the better the rewards. Punishment upon failure.> I clenched my fists as I read the message. "Sh*t! This is definitely not a Tutorial at all!!" I wore the weapons on my body and ran away in full speed. Against a group of enemies, one must keep distance and plan carefully. Albeit leveling up 6 times and gaining a new skill, confronting an army of Gobu and a Hobgobu head-on with just 2 weapons is suicidal. How many gobus are there? How strong is the Hobgobu exactly? What method should I use to kill them? Should I commence guerilla tactics? What I lack right now is information against my enemies! Since Gobu evolves into Hobgobu at level 15, it is safe to assume that the Hobgobu Commander is at least level 15. The gobus are most likely as strong as Gobutaro. With all these assumptions, I ran around the forest to scout their positions. It is now dark and the triple colored moonlight illuminated the forest dimly. After running around the forest for hours, I found no traces of them. Since I didn't need sleep in the Trial Grounds, I spend my whole night searching for them. Eventually, the dark skies have been lit brightly. It's now daytime once more. Because of the continuous sprints that I sometimes performed during the search, I gained a total of 8 stat points to my Str, Dex, Con, and Wis. Apparently, I could gain stats as well! This elated me so much. It'll aid me in eradicating the gobu army. I climbed up trees, searched for their traces, but to no avail. My heart is pounding, my mood is sinking and I'm starting to feel nervous. Gobus within the Trial Grounds will level up if given enough time. I must hurry and kill them.
