Chapter 2: My Potential is Below Average (2)
[This is the end of the instructions. The starting point will open soon. Monsters will attack, so please be careful.]
"Fuck..."
I could not keep up with everything that was happening.
I did not even get the time to feel sorry for myself.
The sounds of monsters could be heard outside.
The people inside were frightened, some started to scream and the few who had armed themselves wore determined expressions.
It was the same for me.
Weapons weren't scarce, so I was able to easily find a decent Club.
There were still Swords and Spears left, but I did not know how to use them.
On the other hand, using a Club would be much simpler.
'What now?'
Even though I now had a weapon, I could not help but be flustered.
'Shit...'
I thought about how I had to fight with monsters with such pathetic stats and potential, and my legs started to tremble.
There were constant screams of monsters outside and panic inside.
The already gloomy atmosphere became more chaotic.
"Help me!"
"I can pay as much as you want, just get me out of here!"
"Quit playing around and open the door, you bastards!"
"Grab your weapons! Don't you hear the monsters outside? Just grab the damn weapons!"
A Burly man was shouting at the top of his voice while carrying an Axe, there were many calling for a fight, but this guy was pretty aggressive.
I just had to concentrate on him and the information came before me.
[Checking the Potentials of Player Hank.]
[Name: Hank]
[Title: None] (Well, you should try a bit harder)
[Age: 24]
[Character: Savage]
[Class: None.]
[Stats]
[Strength: 08 (Potential: Epic)
[Agility: 05] (Potential: Rare)
Endurance: 07] (Potential: Epic)
[Intelligence: 03] (Potential: Common)
[Luck: 03] (Potential: Common)
[Perception: 03] (Potential: Common)
[Magic: 03] (Potential: Common)
[Overview: Average Potential. He will grow well as a Warrior with his Epic Potential for Strength and Endurance. It is not good to have low Magic, Intelligence, and Perception, but they can be compensated with other stats, right? Compared to Player Erik, he has great potential.]
'You did not have to rub it on my face...'
The Burly man looked huge, standing about 2 meters tall, his body was packed with muscles.
Unlike me, who only had 3 points in Strength and Endurance, he had 8 points in Strength and 7 points in Endurance.
I quickly realized that not only were my Potential below average, my initial stats were also pretty pathetic.
Like I read with my Eyes of Truth, he would be a great Warrior, with his Axe he should be able to kill those monsters.
I thought about allying with him, but if what the Eyes of Truth showed were true, then his character was savage.
It would not be safe to associate himself with such a person when he could barely defend himself.
Thinking of this, I created some distance from the man and decided to take a different approach.
I narrowed my eyes and looked at the group of weaponless women standing in the corner and spoke loudly.
"Women should pick up weapons too."
"What!?"
"I am not saying you should go out and fight. But, I can't predict what will happen in the future. You need to carry a weapon for your own safety. You can't expect someone to always protect you right?"
"But..."
Someone who seemed to be a family member of one of the women agreed with what I said and spoke up.
"He is right dear, you should at least have one in case of any unexpected situations"
"Y-yes..."
In the end, they seemed unhappy but slowly most of the women picked up a weapon.
There were a few who seemed to be unconvinced but I did not care about their reactions.
'Good.'
I did not say anything else.
I swallowed nervously and waited for the enemies to come.
Even though my stats were pathetic, I had the confidence to survive, the atmosphere was strong and most of us were ready to face the monsters.
'The death toll would probably be high, but I can do it.'
[The starting point will open in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.]
[The starting point has opened. Good luck to all the Players.]
But, it seemed I was too naive.
A wall behind us opened up, and before anyone could react a human-like monster emerged from within and bit a woman's neck as she tried to escape.
"Kyaaa!"
Blood flowed like crazy from the woman and before anyone could react, monsters poured in from every direction.
"Aaaahh!"
"No, Help me."
'Fuck'
Screams rang out in an instant.
It seems like we were in some deep shit.
'I have to run.'
If I stayed here, I would surely die.
'Death'
My brain worked on overdrive as I thought about how to maximize my survival rate.
'Food and water'
I acted immediately and ran towards the corner with the supplies.
Thankfully, most of the people seemed to be too focused on running away so I was able to get some food and water.
Just as I was about to leave, I saw a woman being bitten by a monster.
"Sa-Save me..."
I gripped the Club tightly in my hands but did not move to save her.
Monsters were coming her way, and she seemed like a good distraction for me to get away.
I did not look back and left the scene immediately.
'Sorry, but it can't be helped.'
I half-heartedly apologized to her in my heart and made my way away from the monsters.
I don't know if my Luck stat had something to with it, but many times when monsters closed in on me, they would trip on some dead bodies, or someone else would die and act as a distraction for me to get away.
Just as I was about to escape, I caught sight of a peculiar man.
His face showed fear while seeing the monsters, far from it, although he seems a bit desperate, he did not seem scared.
There was something off about him but I did not have the time to check his status.
The monsters were feeding on the humans inside, but they would soon come for those who escaped. It was only a matter of time.
I stopped running after sometime, my Endurance was low, so I had to conserve it as much as possible.
I could still hear the desperate screams coming from behind me, but I chose to ignore it.
I looked at my surroundings, and noticed it looked like a underground maze.
There were many paths leading to different places and I had no idea where to go.
'I can't stay here for long.'
I knew that I couldn't stay in the same place for long, but did not know where to go.
The goal of the Tutorial was to survive and attack.
I had enough food and water to not worry about it for some time.
But, something did not feel right to me.
If this place was a Tutorial and things were like a video game, then the monsters would only get stronger after he left the tutorial.
'Attack'
It was one of the goals of this tutorial, so I couldn't just survive but should also kill as many monsters as possible
Suddenly,
I heard a sound from somewhere, I looked ahead and could see a monster slowly approaching me.
I held my breath, hid in a corner and quietly observed the monster.
'It's slow'
It was much slower than I thought, my Trait activated itself as I was seeing the monster.
