Ignoring the fleeing Elder Ma, everyone else in the room was staring at Acma because he dropped another new information; Skill. Acma understood the meaning behind their stare. But, before he could explain, Chief Pai suddenly spoke.

“Looks like Little Acma have a lot of information to share. Brothers, I suggest we call all squad leaders to hear this information too so they can spread it to their squads”.

“I couldn’t agree more with Brother Pai. I will go and call all the squad leaders”, said one of the elders.

Chief Pai turned his head and look at Acma, “I hope you don’t mind sharing all the information you have about this new world. I, as well as the other villagers, know nothing at all. In fact, we’re quite shocked this morning, seeing those centaurs”.

“I have no problem with that, Uncle”, said Acma. Although he said that, he was doing his best to hide his nervousness. He began to sort out all the information he have about the new world while waiting for the squad leaders to arrive.

In less than 15 minutes, several men walked through the door. Acma assumed that they were the squad leaders. All of them have a warrior disposition.

“Chief, all of the squad leaders who were not on guard duty are here”, one of them spoke.

“Thank you, Duo Nan. You all may take a seat. Everyone, I would like to introduce you a hunter who killed a bear when he was 6 years old with only a knife, Acma Heart”, said Chief Pai as his hand toward Acma. He deliberately said that to gain the squad leaders’ attention and it was a success.

“6 years old?” 

“Are you kidding me?”

“There is no way a 6 years old kid can kill a bear”

Chief Pai’s announcement created a ruckus among the squad leaders. All of them stared at Acma with an extremely shocked face. All of them were hunters and they knew exactly how hard it was to kill a bear.

“You guys were shocked right? Haha. You can ask him later about that. I call you here for another matter and I will have Acma to explain about that. Pay your full attention because it may help us to defend our village”, said Chief Pai. Then he look at Acma and asked him to begin his explanation.

Without delay, Acma stood up and look briefly at each of the squad leaders. He smiled awkwardly and look nervous. After a deep breath, he spoke.

“Thank you Uncle Pai. Hi everyone. I wish to share with you about several information which I think will be very useful to all of us. Firstly, lets recall about the blue panel we got this morning. I believe something happened after that notification. On my way here, I found minatours, goblins, golems and what I heard from the elders, you fought against centaurs this morning. Before this morning, all of these creatures were just a myth, but now it's all real. Therefore, I strongly believe that the contents of that blue panel was real. We have to fight for our survival. Before I go further, may I know how many of you ever play a role-playing game?” he asked. Secretly, he hope that all of them have that experience because he didn’t have to explain any further.

Almost all the squad leaders nodded. It was expected considering their age. Even if he asked about vr game, they might also have played it. Gaming was so common among young people since the boom of smart phones during 21st century.

“I played role-playing games before, so what’s about it?” one of the squad leaders asked.

Acma smiled when he heard that question. He wasn’t nervous anymore.

“Our world have become a huge role-plaing game”, answered Acma while spreading both of his hands. A bright smile was plastered all over his face.

“What nonsense are you speaking about?” said someone while the others just frowned their brows.

“Let me ask another question, when you’re fighting the centaurs this morning, did you see a panel above their head with an info about its name and level? Or, when you killed them, did you heard a ding sound and then you are notified that you have level up? Acma asked.

“I get all of them. Not just me, but all my brothers in my squad too”, said a young man which Acma remembered as Duo Nan. The others also said the same thing.

This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

“If you put it two and two, then what I said just now was right. Our world have became a role-playing game. Only role-playing games will have the same features like what we’re hacing right now”, said Acma.

“What about status panel, inventory, skill panel?”, Duo Nan asked.

“We have them. All you need to do is say the keyword; Open. Like, Open: Inventory. When you want to close them, just say; Close”

All the squad leaders, even the elders were chanting the keyword. Someone opened the status panel, some others opened the skill panel and started a conversation with each other. After a while, the room become silent because everyone was so focused on something on their sight. Acma waited patiently for them.

“Hey kid, why my level is still level 1?” asked Elder Daquan. 

“Uncle have to kill monsters or beasts to level up. The more you kill, the higher you will level up. Each level up will grant you 5 points which you can allocate them to either strength, agility or intelligence. Each point on strength will make you stronger, agility for speed and intelligence for mana points. HP means health point and I believe, if it reach zero, we will die. As for mana, we need them for executing an active skill, either weapon skill or magic skill in your skill panel”, replied Acma.

“What do you mean by active skill? I’ve checked my skill panel, none of them were active skill”

“You will have them when you reach level 10. When you reach level 10, you will be transported to a beginner village to get your class and your active skills. Before that, you have to depend on your strength to kill your enemies”, Acma paused and then continued, “Other than that, you can get your active skill by having a summons, like this”, Acma gestured his hand to a space near the door and said, “Summon: Stone Golem”

A ball of light glowed on the floor and materialized into a big stone golem with a dark blue glow on its limbs. Suddenly,

‘Craaack’ ‘Craaack’ ‘Boooom’

The floor couldn’t handle the weight of the golem and crashed in. 

‘...’

‘...’

“Hei kid, what was that? How did you get that thing?” someone exclaimed while the others had their jaws on the floor, unable to say anything.

The golem didn’t move as Acma didn’t want it to cause more destruction. Then he slowly regained his composure and continued his speech.

“Ehemm... I’m really sorry everyone, I broke the floor. As I said before, you can get an active skill by having a summon like this. This stone golem have a Earth Stomp skill, so I also have that skill as my active skill. But I won’t demonstrate it here because it will destroy this building. 

Our brother here asked, how do I get this stone golem?”, Acma paused for a while and he took out three summon cards from his inventory, spread it on the table and continued,

“Whenever you kill a beast or a monster, you have a chance to get a summon card like the cards in front of me. This is a summon card from an elite monster. I hope whenever you kill a beast or monster, even a common one, it will drop a summon card. Because ...”

One of the squad leaders, Duo Nan suddenly interrupted.

“Slow down brother, slow down. You’re going too fast. Look at Chief Pai, his soul already fly to the nine heavens”. Everyone look at Chief Pai who have a blank expression on his face, maybe from trying his hardest to digest all the information that came from Acma. They laughed merrily.

“Haha, maybe I was going too fast. I’m sorry”, said Acma. He also realized that he gave too much information in a short time. 

“Don’t worry about Chief Pai, this brother will explain it slowly to him later. Brother Acma, I also played a rpg game before, so I can relate most of what brother said just now. But, can you elaborate further about the rank of the beast and monster?”, said Duo Nan.

Acma took a breather and said, "As for the beast rank, I use the rank in the role-playing games in the previous world. There are 5 ranks minimum, I think, depends on the colour of the word in their name panel, white means common beast. Green for uncommon, blue for elite, purple for epic and golden for legendary. That’s all I know about beast’s and monster's rank. Oh wait, there is a divine rank beast. The colour of the font is also golden but it was stated there that it was a divine beast. I met one, a Guardian Beast of the West, the White Tiger. But I let it go”.

“Aaaahhh, why you let it go? Such a waste”

“I didn’t know about summon beast yet at that time. As for killing it, how come a mere mortal like me dare to mess with a divine beast like that. I’m still young you know”, said Acma.

“Haha. You’re right, brother. Please continue”, said Duo Nan laughing lightly.

“Hmmmm... where are we ... alright, about summons. Ask the hunters to get the summon card as many as they can because it will helps a lot when defending the village in the future. I will give this three cards of mine to Chief Pai. I hope it will help Orca Village”, said Acma. He took the cards in front of him and politely passed them to Chief Pai. 

“You can trade the summon card with each other. To do that, you just have to discard your ownership over the card. Place the card in your hand and say Discard. Also, you can upgrade your summons from a lower rank to a higher rank with an upgrading items which you will get them by killing the beasts or monsters. You can discuss about this matter with whoever get the card from Chief Pai later”.

“Although I feel like I have tonnes more to say, but currently I have no idea what it is. So I think I will end it here. If anyone have any question, please ask me later. Thank you for your attention”, said Acma. Before he sat down, Acma unsummoned his stone golem.

“Thank you little Acma for the briefing. Although I can understand only a bit of it, I’m sure all you of it is important for us. Alright everyone, I hope all of you have a gist of our current situation. I also believe, it’s not happen only to us, but to all over the world. We have to think carefully about what we’re to going do from now. 

About these summon cards, I have to discuss with the elders and I will inform you about the result later. If you have any question, please raise your hand and speak. If there isn’t, you’re dismissed”, said Chief Pai.

“Chief, one of my younger squad member are worried about their family and he wanted to return to his home. I manage to convince him that it was not a good idea no matter how worried he was. But I think this will be quite a problem for us since many of our hunters have their family far from Orca Village. What do you think, Chief?” asked Duo Nan.

“This problem have already been discussed among the elders since this morning , but we still didn’t come out with any solution yet. Either to let them return to their home or not. But, please tell them to wait until tomorrow. If nothing happen tomorrow, I will gather everyone to settle this problem together”.

“Okay Chief”

“Is there anything else?” asked Chief Pai. After a while, no one asking a question. “Since there is no more questions, our meeting is dismissed. Thank you”, said Chief Pai. 

Before anyone begin to vacate the room, Elder Ma entered the room with a clearly troubled face.

“Chief, we got a problem”
