10 Information (1/2)

The man stood there in front of the many people. He sized everyone up and the more he looked, the happier he became. It was as if he was reading a story that revealed secrets on every page.

”Wonderful! This many humans stayed alive!? This will be great for our kind in this world! You have all passed the test! This is a great accomplishment!” The man spoke with a huge smile.

Niko looked at this man with a strange look on his face as his mind began to think, ”T-test? Does he have anything to do with that beetle monster killing everyone?”

Taking Niko out of his thoughts, a short man spoke while stepping towards the man with anger, ”What!? A test!? Lives are on the line here!? People died!”

The man grinned and spoke, ”Good.”

The short man's face became red as if it was being burnt by fire. His mind filled with anger and shock after hearing what the armored man said. The short man began to walk towards the armored man with tight fists, but then he quickly came to a halt and stepped back wide-eyed.

The armored man, grabbed the hilt of his sword as if he was ready to pull it and slash it towards the short man. His eyes looked sinister as a grin that reached the sky was planted on his face.

”Listen up! It would truly be a pity to kill you here. I recommend you to shut your mouth. They died because they were weak. Death in this world occurs daily and if you're not able to accept that, you should kill yourself right now. This goes for all of you.”The armored man's deep voice echoed throughout the crowd.

Many people's heart began to race as they felt chills down their spine. The orb spoke of this, and as they had just seen it, it was true.

The man continued, ”In this world, it's us humans versus everything else. We need to rely on each other to survive, and if you are weak, you will prevent the progress of humanity in this world. There is no equality in this world and If you are weak, you are better off dead. Women, men, elderly, teens or whatever you see yourself as there will be no exceptions. If you aren't useful to the human race… You are better off gone. That's why it would be a pity killing any of you. You are all courageous humans that would have a high chance of becoming higher level and useful.”

Niko felt a very strange feeling. The rules of this world were extremely barbaric and scary. The complete opposite of civilized Earth.

The armored man looked around the grassland, pointed towards a lone tree, waved and said, ”Come. Let's talk over there. There are too many distractions here with these corpses.”

Niko and the crowd followed the man as they move towards a lone tree in the grassland. Stepping over or walking around the dead bodies on the floor, they approached the tree. The tree was eight meters tall with a thick trunk and full of leaves. Niko walked forward at a faster pace to get closer to the armored man, not paying attention to anything else. The green orb followed him as if his movements did not affect it at all. Niko was now, staring at the man's back as he used his skill.
