Chapter 11: Monster Nest and 400 Million Spectators

Chapter 11's

✓Nest Monster and 400 Million Audience

"Living…! I'll get out of here alive..!” (Mari)

I murmured this as if chanting while walking forward and taking every step.

The only thing that supports my broken heart is the hope that Nanami is alive and has come to this world.

Nanami is alive.

Believing that it was the only thing that sustained me to overcome this hellish situation.

I don't know if it's because I walk at night like the clue told me, or because of the effects of the Dark Spirit Ability, or both; anything doesn't matter, but I have been walking for about 3 hours, and I have not found any monsters until now.

I have advanced through the shortest distance directly to my destination. It started to tilt due to the mountains, and at the moment I somehow managed to advance by climbing as if crawling.

It was true that the 3 Point map was very efficient, but this was still a world map, so it did not show the height of the location in detail, either, and the only thing I can say is that the current location is forest, and that there are mountains on the south side.

If I take a detour to the north side, there is a chance that I can reach a flatter ground, but I end up walking straight.

Or rather, I had no experience climbing mountains, so you could say I could only rely on the map and advance straight ahead.

I tried not to use my Spirit Ability too consecutively.

Of course, it was ideal to continue using the Dark Mist as I walked, but the thing I should avoid the most was to suddenly faint from running out of Spirit Energy.

I didn't really know how the natural recovery of Spirit Energy worked, but I had no choice but to study it through feelings, and after using my Ability repeatedly, I began to understand it.

Most likely because the Kamahiran Dark Mist had increased, the effective time had also increased. If I increase Proficiency at this speed, I can see myself being able to use it consecutively.

“Haaah..Haah.. It's heavy... But I have to reduce the distance as far as possible..” (Hikaru).

The first experience of walking on a mountain road coupled with a situation where I did not know when monsters could jump out had already left me exhausted.

At school, you could say I was at a sports club, but it wasn't like I was really serious about it, so I only had an average stamina of 15 years.

There's a clock function loaded on my Status Board, so I can figure out the current time. It's pretty handy.

I don't know what the rotation or revolution of this world is, but one day is 24 hours, and daytime is almost the same as Earth.

There was no way to tell if the things in that area were Gods considerations or coincidences.

“5:00 am ... It's been a little brighter ..” (Hikaru)

It seems like it's almost time for the sun to rise.

If I used Dark Mist when it was bright, it would look like a circular darkness that made it unnatural. Although it might not be very clear because I was deep in the forest with many places that were not reachable by light.

“Even if I use the Barrier Stone during the day, it only works for 12 hours. I want to last until 7pm when the sun is gone ... "(Mara)

I don't think it'll soon turn dangerous so bright.

I racked up the rest of my strength to run up the slope.

My field of view was slightly open, and I arrived at a rather airy hill.

And then, my heart paused for a moment when I saw the creature there.

“Kiki!”

Two small monkeys - but the size of a mountain gorilla - are.

Deeper, I could see the burning giant monkey lying upside down, sleeping.

The little monkeys who noticed me made a fuss, becoming kiikii.

The monkey that sleeps deeper lifts its upper body.

(S-Seriously…? I've arrived at the nest of a giant monkey.??) (Mari)

The bed is made of a pile of twigs and grass.

Fruits, nuts, and animal bones were piling up around him.

I don't know if the giant monkey is male or female, or if it's the same as the one I met yesterday, but it's a nest.

(Can I run..?) (Mari)

I held the Barrier Stone in such a way that I could break it at any time, and chant the Dark Mist.

But the sun has started to rise.

In the open and bright, my Dark Mist was like a swarm of mosquitoes that did not even serve as a smokescreen. It even aroused the curiosity of the monkeys.

(Damn it! What should I do…?! What can I do.?.?) (Mari)

I'm half panicked here.

The Barrier Stone created a barrier in that place. In other words, if I use the Barrier Stone inside the monster nest, I cannot move from that place for 12 hours.

It would be one thing if the monster left at some point in those 12 hours, but I don't think the monkey cub will leave the nest.

It may be luck in misfortune, but the giant monkey has a calm personality, even when the little monkey makes a fuss, it moves a little, but does not get up.

But the little monkey showed signs of coming here.

They don't look as aggressive as a giant monkey, and if it's just their appearance, they even look funny, but we're talking about the kids of that cruel giant monkey. It is very possible for them to tear my limbs innocently.

The distance between me and the monkey boy is 20 meters.

It was a distance that could be said I had already 'meet' with them.

I ran to buy as much distance as possible.

I've been found, so do it or fail now.

At the same time I started running, the little monkeys crawled up and started chasing me.

I finally stimulated their animal instincts to chase after the running prey.

(Damn it! They're fast!) (Mari)

I might call them little monkeys, but they are big yet fast.

A half-transparent dome appeared, and the monkey children who lost sight of their prey were running around the open while making kiikii sounds.

Who knows what will happen if they catch me.

Most likely eating me like a doll with a funny reaction.

If the Gods did not prepare a rescue tool like the Barrier Stone.

“...But finally I checked yes... Haha..” (Hikaru).

I opened the Status Board and looked at the list of items.

There was one item that could be exchanged for that was a striking color.

Pill Surrender – Points Required: All Points owned.

I can use this before I'm eaten alive by those monkeys.

Of course, it said 'surrender', but I didn't think at all that this was a practical item that allowed you to return to your home world.

In other words, it is a poison for suicide. Moreover, personal items are only effective for buyers.

"I did get a little distance from running, but ..it was not a distance I could avoid ..." (Mari)

I was about 50 meters away from the sleeping giant monkey, but would it release the humans that appeared right around it?

No, he slept well, so maybe he wouldn't notice?

But the child monkeys felt like the sharp type that would find me quickly.

"Well .. what happened happened." (Mari)

I'm honestly exhausted.

I was chosen to go to a parallel world without any preparation, and I have walked inside a deep forest.

The sun was shining and there were soft grasses growing here, so even when there were monsters nearby, I wanted to lie on the ground and sleep in this rare bright spot.

"Let's eat something ..." (Mari)

My dull feeling must have started to return because I was now within the barrier, intense hunger and thirst assaulted me.

I also desperately want to close my eyes here, but I should at least fill myself up before going to bed.

I opened the Status Board and used 1 Crystal each for the sandwich and the water.

The sandwich was packed in wrapping paper, and the water was in a heavy ceramic bottle.

I ate it in a daze and drank the water.

And then, my brain regained a bit of vitality.

“...Now I think about it, strangely I have more Crystals now.” (Mari)

30 Crystals can be exchanged for 1 Point, so that's important.

The last time I checked, I had obtained 2 Crystals from [Reaching 100,000,000 daily viewers] and [First meeting with Monsters]. I used 1 for the clue, so I only have 1 left.

But when I checked just now, I had 6 Crystals.

I confirmed the log on the Status Board.

The longest log was [Reaching 100,000,000 daily viewers] and the next one was [First meeting with the Monsters]. I know about these 2 Crystals.

The next one was [Getting the first time spirit ability] for 1 Crystal.

And then, [Reaching a total audience of 500,000,000]. This one seems special because it gave me 3 Crystals.

Total turns out to mean total unique access in a day.

5 hundred million…

It seems like today is treated as the 2nd day, but 5 hundred million is a crazy number.

The number is so large that it doesn't feel real, but does that mean about 10% of the population on Earth is paying attention to me?

Even now, my real-time audience count is over 4 hundred million, so.

There's no way Chosen suddenly like I'll have a lot of viewers.

On day 2 I got [Reaching 100,000,000 daily viewers]. I seem to get a daily one every day. That's helping.

With this, I obtained 7 Crystals until now.

I used it for hints, sandwiches, and water for a total of 3. Got 4 Crystals left now.

It's far from 30 Crystals, but considering it's still day 2, I'm fine ... maybe?

No, I am currently in a situation where I spent my Points on the Barrier Stone

Can't really call this a smooth run.

I set the timer and lay down for a while to cool my head.

I've been walking all night. If I didn't sleep, I wouldn't even be able to think of a good idea to get out of here.

“Then, I will set it so that the alarm sounds after 4 hours.. Alright.” (Mari)

The Status Board also has a timer function above the clock.

It should be a relief mechanism for modern people who have lived bound by time.

"…Good night." (Mari)

I am muttering this without success.

I don't know what kind of feelings the viewers have when they watch me.

But they must have encouraged me to fight for survival in this forest.

...I'm sure it is.
