"So after 20 minutes im going to be dropped into a REAL forest this time?"

"Yes, but starting location is random and congratulation on completing trial with decent score"

"Thanks, but is there any information about whats going to happend from now on?"

"Those 20 minutes are MY time limit to tell you about what is going to happend with you. Let's start. In area about 3 times bigger than you home planet will be placed 100 budding sanctuaries, every budding sanctuary will summon 100 people and 10% of total amount of summoned population at your sanctuary from your world each 3 days, but sanctuary will summon second group of survivors at 8'th day of new world.

"I assume that something is going to happend before day 8."

"That is true, at summoning day monsters will spawn in numbers at 10x of living population, 7 days after first summoning any survivng non-sapient monster will rush at sanctuary to destroy life inside of it."

"They show up with us? And any survivng means that we can just kill them before day 7?"

"If you are fast enough, then yes you can kill all monsters without need to protect sanctuary."

"I know what im going to do in my free time."

"Back to the topic, new monsters spawn day after last [Rush Day] ended, next [Rush Day] will start one day later than previous [Rush Day]."

"So we have 7 day's to kill all monsters on first [Rush Day], 8 days on second one and so on? After few years there is going to be a lot of time to prepare"

"That would be true, but managment already foresaw that and set limit between [Rush Day] at 90 day maximum"

"Let's talk about summoning of survivors, Day 1 is going to have 100 people summoned, at next summon there will be 110 summoned people which is happening at day 8 right at spawn day of monsters?"

"Yes, monsters spawn seconds after new survivors show up."

"So second wave is going to have 2100 monsters in them?"

"Well, if noone dies from first 100 of people then yes, but we both know that some people will die."

"Third summoning of survivors will happend on day 11 with force of 121 new survivors and fourth summoning at day 14 will have 133 people, while next [Rush Day] will happend at 15 day from the start? New monsters will spawn before [Rush Day] with new survivors? It is going to take years to summon every single one of the 8 bilion population."

"Yes, yes, yes. No, new monster will not spawn even when new survivors show up. But dont forget about what we talked about goblins, some monsters dont even need mate to make new monsters. About summoning of the survivors, every 10 summons sanctuary will grow stronger tripling amount of summoned survivors, but doubling time in between summons."

"So 10'th summon will transport 235 people at day 32 and 11'th summon will drop 777 people at day 38?"

"That is correct"

"I can't belive I did this math in my head. Maybe I should put few more points into Int."

"Quick math is more of Wisdom domain than Inteligence, pumping Int will just make you walking liblary."

"Where is a catch with all this? Whats the point in doing this glorified tower defence game?"

"Oh really not that much, preparing new world for awaking of mana from its dormant state"

"And entertaiment..."

"And entertaiment."

"Fantastic."

[Time left in trial area - 00:09:59]

Oliver shut up after seeing timer and started equiping new armor, now having bigger assortiment of armor to chose from he chose sturdy looking boots with metal toe cap, leather trousers, leather jacket and new iron chainmail set. To top it off he found a fitting helmet. 'Only idiots don't wear helmet as warrior's.'

[High-Iron chainmail armor - Well made armor set providing good protection against slashing and piercing attacks, mildly helpful against blunt force.]

[Observe 0.2 -> 0.3]

[Leather jacket - Well made leather jacket providing decent protection against blunt force, weak against slashing and piercing attacks. Comfortable.]

[Leather trousers - Well made leather trousers providing decent protection against blunt force, weak against slashing and piercing attacks. Comfortable.]

[Sturdy leather boots - Sturdny leather boots with addon of High-Iron toe cap for bonus protection.]

[High-Iron helmet - Mass producted helmed made by adept blacksmith for need of an army.]

After looking around Oliver noticed mirror and started walking toward it while flexing his new outfit. Looking into mirror and seeing clean shaved diamond shaped face with short light brown hair and sharp grey eyes looking back at him he thought 'Fuck, charisma start to do wonders, I would give myself 8/10 already.' Oliver stopped looking at himself and equipped new chainmail coil and early romanian looking helmet and walked back to table to check new weapons. After internal debate he picked two almost identical looking one handed battle axes with long sturdy blade on one side and pick head on the other.

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

Swinging them a little Oliver nodded at himself 'Going to tire out after like 30 swings, but soon they will betoo light.' After which Oliver started to look for hip belt with holders for his new weapons. Third belt that Oliver checked fitted perfectly helping him with slightly sliding troursers.

[High-Iron Battle Axe - Long bladed heavy axe perfect for chopping wood and heads of an enemy, installed with pick to help with destroying hard shells and helmets.]

[Leather belt - Leather belt with 4 customable sockets for most of one handed weapons, bonus socket on back of belt for quiver.

[Time left in trial area - 00:02:43]

When Oliver succesfully modified belt sockets to hold his axes without impairing his movement he chose medium sized backpack filled with basic survival kit.

[Leather backpack - Backpack equiped with 2 water canteen, one day dry rations, flint and steel and brown woolen cloak.]

[Observe 0.3 -> 0.4]

"Is there anything left that I should know?"

"Right, only first group have this trial, new survivors are going to be almost clueless, only knowing that they are no longerat your home, oh and summoning is random. Beside this I can only say good luck!"

"Thanks, hope my familly and friends will be fine." Mumbled, "Oh right, what is this specialization?"

"Specialization is your essence as a person formalized and putted into a ability, normally you unlock it at same time as unlocking second class, but sometimes you can obtain it earlier."

"So I got quite a head start."

"Anyone who get A- score on combat trial unlock it."

"Thanks for ruining my moment."

"No problem."

[Time left in trial area - 00:00:57]

Oliver noticed new door with green written on them and started walking towards them. Last second though hit Oliver.

"RIGHT if summon is random how im going to comunicate..."

[General passive skill gained - Universal language - Human]

[Universal language - Human - Ability know by any human type entity with access to system. +1% to expresing emotions.]

Absurdly silenced with new skill notification Oliver checked it only to see anwser to his unfinished question.

[Time left in trial area - 00:00:04]

Doors started to open by themself, Oliver seeing what lies behind doors smirked and walked through 'Forest.'

In the same second Oliver got through a door it vanished in poof of a smoke without even closing itself.

'I can hear river, quite good starting location,' thought Oliver looking around clearing, noticing mountains not that far away he realized that he was only missing plains for perfect noob starting localization. After checking his suroundings Oliver focused on other people around him.

Most men and handfull women wore armors similiar to him with or without chainmail with variuos weapons starting from sword and shield through twoone handed weapons like Oliver ending on group with twohanded weapons. Most of people without chainmail helddiffrent bows, while minority of them had no visible weapon.

'Rouge like huh?' though Oliver while checking robe drapped part of group, while majority of robbed people were womens of diffrent age, most men was of more advanced age like 40+, with few youngsters.

Before anyone said a cube with 1 by 1 meter diameter came out from middle of the group startling closest people to it. Instantly system window showed up, before Oliver focused on his window he noticed that people started to look as if they were reading something.

[Welcome survivors in brand new world! Located in middle of your group is , your mission is to protect it from any hostile forces, in exchange it shall summon new survivors and help manage teritory around it. Losing it means losing way to summon rest of your world population and bonuses associated with .]

[Good luck in your endeavors]

Murmurs instantly started after seeing last message, teenager closest to touched it out of curiosity, while touching it he froze. Some people noticed him as watched what is going to happend, slowly everyone got quited and watched brave teen.

After 2 minutes teen shoutet "Everyone need to touch cube to be able to make houses!" Hearing that everyone started walking toward , each person touched cube for 2 minutes, only 5 people could touch cube at same time. After around 15 minutes Oliver could touch it himself instantly finding out why it took 2 minutes per person.
