Chapter 6's
✓Transfer and Forest Scent
I was enveloped in a blinding light at the same time as the countdown reached zero. I couldn't help it and finally closed my eyes.
Right after, I felt like I was floating in the air, as if the floor had disappeared.
I reflexively swung my hand to grab something, but there was nothing I could grasp, and I ended up falling without being able to do anything.
Seconds next…
I stood in the forest with tall, lush trees covering my sight.
The rustling of the trees swayed in the wind, a dense green scent.
I can't see a single human but me.
I understand the situation here and gulp.
—Random Transfer.
Unfortunately, no, it was arguably inevitable that I had been moved deep into the forest.
It's not that there's no chance of becoming a city if I walk for a while, but it's too optimistic.
[Pin Pon Pan! Welcome to the parallel world, Chosen Number 1000, Kurose Hikaru. I'll give you a simple explanation of the Status Board! First, please issue your Status. It's okay to say it out loud or think about it in your mind.]
The voice suddenly resounded in my head.
There's no one around.
Looks like the Gods party will give a tutorial to the Chosen.
"Status." (Mari)
A half-transparent window appeared in the air.
It is the size of a PC screen.
[On that Status Board you can obtain a variety of information: exchanges for Items, Skills, and Rewards; check your popularity ratings, real-time viewership numbers, remaining points, etc, and the number of crystals you have.]
Looks like I can get various info by changing the tabs.
I ran out of time in the middle of allocating my points, so I still had 24 points left. It seems like I can use this point in parallel worlds as well.
[You can use Crystals to exchange Items, but you can also exchange 30 Crystals for 1 point. You can earn Crystals from your popularity and audience shows.]
Once you do, the more popular you are, the easier it is to earn points, and it will make living in another world easier.
[For item redemption, please push the item page button. If you have a point clearance, you can trade it now.]
“... More importantly, is it now safe?” (Mari)
I asked what I wanted to know at first.
I was in a deep forest, somewhere.
There was a possibility of being suddenly attacked by monsters.
Even just staying here might have an approaching danger.
[Your security is guaranteed in the middle of the tutorial. There is a barrier to keep living things around.]
So so . If a Chosen One suddenly appeared in a city, it would shock its inhabitants. This should be their consideration in that part - this also applies to monsters.
"Then, is it okay to take the time to pick out my things?" (Mari)
[Yep.]
My remaining points are displayed in the status window.
24 Points; that's my lifeline.
"I want clothes and shoes, but ..." (Mari)
Perhaps this is the service of the Gods, I am not barefoot. I don't know when, but I'm wearing sandals. My clothes aren't that hospital gown either, but cotton up and down. I even have underwear.
It was just a minimal outfit, but I was grateful.
In this case, there are other items with higher priority.
I got a Random Transfer. I wouldn't be able to do anything if I didn't know my current location.
I opened the item page and selected a map.
[World Map: 1 Point]
[Very Efficient World Map: 3 Points]
[Map Around: 1 Point]
[Very Efficient Surrounding Map: 5 Points] x4.
According to his explanation, all maps have the ability to show your current location, so it should be enough to exchange for a world map with 1 point. The map around is a map that shows information within a radius of 10 kilometers, so I won't exchange points for that right now.
The problem is whether to make it a normal world map, or a very efficient world map.
The 2-point gap is huge. For the Chosen who did not obtain the Basic Package, the remaining points were their dead lifeline.
It was better to think that using points carelessly would push me closer to death.
"I said that, but be frugal here a little ..." (Mari)
Just before I pressed the button to exchange it, I stopped.
Because I was thinking about the possibility of a town or village on the corner of the road.
This is a Random Transfer, so the odds are small, but it is possible.
I can't use my points easily when 1 point is probably the result of the tears ahead. I need to be more careful here.
I should at least confirm my surroundings. It won't be too late to decide once I get as much information as I can.
I stopped the exchange and decided to confirm all the items I could currently exchange. If I don't act properly according to the situation, what awaits me is death.
“If I exchange something, will it appear soon? Out of nowhere?” (Mari)
[Yes, it will instantly appear from the top of the Status Board. It is recommended to avoid being seen doing this by the inhabitants of the world as best as possible.]
It casually gave me a clue about this world.
What I can at least gather from it is, in this world, it is unnatural for an item to appear out of nowhere. This is common sense, but not common sense.
This is not Earth. I was in a parallel world with mysteries everywhere.
[I can't answer it.]
"Can I get a clue?" (Mari)
[You can use Crystal to get a clue. It will happen after the explanation here is finished and your adventure begins.]
"In other words, it hasn't started yet." (Mari)
[Accurate. Not all the inhabitants of the earth have basic knowledge of the Other World.]
I confirmed the status window again. It's been quite a while since I was transferred here, however, my real-time viewership numbers are still zero.
I see, still in a state where they can't see, yeah. Or maybe they can see, but the numbers don't appear. Or maybe no one noticed me because I wasn't originally a Chosen One.
…Well, I don't really want to be seen.
[What are you going to do about the item exchange?]
"I won't do it for now." (Mari)
[Well, the explanation for the Status Board is done. And now, for the last thing, we'll give you random special help as a beginner of the Physical Ability category or the Resistance category.]
They are unexpectedly generous.
When I checked, I saw that I had a Level 1 Poison Resistance.
“Toxic Resistance yes. I'd say this is a victory? ” (Hikaru)
Toxin Resistance is 3 points.
The 5 point one would be the jackpot, so this would be an average win.
After all, my survival rate has increased with this.
[You are free to live as you please in this world. The audience will always be with you. If you get their cooperation, you should be able to live a fulfilling life. Good luck.]
After praying me luck unilaterally, the voice became silent.
At the same time when this happened, I felt a rustle and the existence of the forest was getting denser.
A strange feeling as if something unknown was sweeping through my skin.
It really hasn't been 'started'.
And now we've started.
In that case, I don't have time to waste.
I took off my sandals and started climbing the large tree nearby that I had been aiming for before.
Fortunately, it was a strange tree with branches jutting out in a complicated manner, and it was tall. But I think I can somehow climb this.
There's a fear of poisonous insects, but believe me that the Poison Resistance I got is doing its job here.
After all, the important thing here was his speed.
"Guh, yoh, huh!"
I had almost no experience climbing trees, but right now I was desperate. When I looked down, my stomach gasped, but somehow I managed to climb up quite high.
And…
“Haha... Seriously..?” (Mari)
What lay before my eyes were forests as far as the eye could see, and mountains.
No human settlements in sight.
Nature everywhere without human handprints in 360°.
Of course, there might be a settlement somewhere, and if I cross the mountain, there is a chance that I can find a city.
But overcoming this forest with its dense presence and mountains.only that would be an adventure on thin ice - I clearly understand that here.
I descended a little and sat on a thick branch, issued a Status, and traded the Extremely Efficient World Map for 3 points.
The status window tab shines, and the [World Map] entry appears.
It seemed like the Extremely Efficient Map was not an actual physical item, but an ability that extended to your Status.
"Well, this will decide whether I live or die, yeah." (Mari)
My hand that pointed to the Map tab trembled.
However, strangely there was a part of me that was strangely calm.
What distance would it take to arrive safely in a human settlement?
I have used 3 points, so I have 21 points left.
Can I do something with just that much?
I have no physical improvement, and I am just an ordinary person with [Liked by Spirit] and [Night Vision].
I'm a little venom resistant, it's hard to get sick, and it doesn't get old fast, huh.
I have no survival skills, and I can't run fast.
Of course, I don't have any combat abilities either.
"PLEase…!" (Mari)
I prayed to God as I opened the map.
“... Fufufu! …So Random Transfer is for initial laughs, yes. Haha..” (Hikaru)
… A dry laugh that expresses my despair comes out of my mouth.
Very Efficient Map is certainly very efficient.
It tells me where the nearest town is and the distance to it; there is no reliable power like this.
But that's why he has enough destructive power to crush my hopes.
I am currently in the Ringpill Continent, in the Demon Land in the East.
The Population Density Around is 0 out of 10 levels.
Level 4 Danger of 6 levels.
The nearest human location is the East Fort and is 373 kilometers in a straight line.
I was transferred to the middle of a deep forest.
