The world that was devoid of mana moments ago had now suddenly been introduced to mana.
Of course this wouldn't be noticed by anyone other than someone at Roy's level of sensitivity. Roy's sensitivity towards mana was more heightened than a shark towards blood.
Although throughout the unknown amount of time Roy was imprisoned in a separate dimension with no mana, Roy never once forgot the blissful feeling of it. The feeling of every cell in your body becoming rejuvenated bursting with life, one could easily tell the benefits of mana.
The murmurs in the street grew louder and more agitated from the sudden disaster that took place.
Only a few people like Roy and Ella could stay calm from such a world class event.
Message|
The government have issued that they are investigating the cause of the earthquake, and that all citizens should move to a safe and secure place in case any more events take place|
The two chose to go back into the apartment building and decided to stay together, waiting for one another's family to contact them.
"My family messaged me saying that 4 unconfirmed islands have appeared in the north Pacific ocean, Indian ocean, north Atlantic and Arctic ocean."
Ella looked at Roy before continuing
"They've also had reports saying strange beasts are appearing on the islands, the government are sending a group of soldiers to investigate the island that has appeared in the pacific ocean near Hawaii. The governments from America and India are also sending their soldiers to investigate the islands. No news has been leaked from Russia about whether they are going to investigate the island in the Arctic."
Roy looked at Ella shocked, 'as expected of a high ranking family, it hasn't even been an hour but they have so much information'.
Roy's mother had called him, asking if he was alright and kept nagging him to come home. Roy felt overwhelmed from this new sensation, becoming tired quickly, while Ella looked at Roy with an amused expression. She felt slightly envious of the mother and son but didn't show it.
As night arrived, the two went off to their own rooms to rest.
Just before Roy stepped into his door a transparent blue wall appeared in his vision.
You have been chosen|
Relocating to the nearest island|
Island 1 has been selected...
commencing now|
"Huh?"
That night the entire world simultaneously lit up from a magnificent blue light.
Standing in a meadow of grass, tens of people could be seen either looking around their surroundings in shock or staring blankly in the air.
'Mass teleport? No something of this scale should be called a myriad teleport' Roy couldn't help but feel awe from this. He understood the difficulties of teleportation, unless someone had been able to record everyone's coordinates, the surrounding area that may have obstructed them and had a near infinite amount of mana at their disposal, such a feat was impossible.
'Was the surge of mana used to record everyone's data? But what was the requirement to be chosen?'
The tutorial will begin in 5 minutes|
Before Roy could continue making hypotheses, a burly man walked towards the centre of the most people.
"Everyone, listen to me " the tall burly man yelled "I'm a soldier that was on leave, please gather in a group as we don't know what danger this tutorial will bring, i'm sure that everyone saw that blue screen just now so we have limited time to prepare"
The people around the burly man agreed to what he had said, and decided to gather around him. Roy decided to follow for now in case there was any danger.
"Thank you for listening to me" the burly man looked around the group of people that came to him. 5 men, 3 woman and 1 kid. "I suggest that us 5 men take the vanguard while the woman support us from the back.
"What about me?" A young girl roughly 12 years old asked
"You can stay at the back and stay safe, let the adults handle the hard stuff"
Two men looked enviously at the young girl, not wanting to have to take such a dangerous battle position but they had pride and didn't want to be the first to say something.
Tutorial stage has begun|
A war horn sounded on the clearing of grass and soon green child sized monsters carrying crude jagged daggers and savage clubs rushed towards the groups of people.
They were goblins. A mediocre monster race that were at the bottom of the food chain. They had dirty green skin and smelt horrendously from filth. They wore flimsy leather armour and each carried crude weapons to make up for their childish size.
A panicked man who was unable to respond to the incoming danger of a club and was smashed against his head. The man fell to the ground and was stomped on by the other goblins running over his now bloody corpse.
"Mon..monsters!!" Everyone became fearful from what they had just witnessed. Countless people decided to rush back but were soon killed for showing their back to an enemy.
"Everyone don't panic, we have to work together and fight the monsters head on. Their size is their weakness, just look out for their weapons!!" the burly man shouted out at the top of his lungs. He was also shocked by these never before seen creatures but knew that becoming panicked on the battlefield was a sure way to get yourself killed.
The burly man led the charge against the goblins, and everyone looked at him admirably. He was able to dodge the goblins club that had previously smashed against the dead man's head and twisted the green wrist, breaking the goblins feeble bones and knocking the club out of the goblins hand.
The burly man lifted and then threw the goblin to the ground and as it was stumbling to get up, the burly man picked up the club lifted it towards the sky and smashed it against the goblin's skull.
Upon seeing the burly man kill one of the creatures, everyone's morale soared, and a bloody battle took place.
Everyone struggled to fight head on against a weapon, many suffered wounds and some had immediately died. Everyone soon got the hang of it and managed to kill a goblin after a couple of minutes.
Roy was able to kill 5 goblins by himself, using a jagged dagger that was carried by the first goblin he killed, he struck the goblin's vital points. Neck, eyes, throat, and kidney. The burly man glanced over at everyone fighting against the goblins and couldn't help but be shocked when he looked over at Roy, it was like he had fought through countless deadly battles and took the most efficient way to kill the enemy.
The burly man had managed to kill 7 goblins, mainly taking advantage of his bear-like size and crushed any goblin in front of him. Killing the most out of everyone.
The battle had finally ended after 30 minutes.
Countless corpses laid on the once clear meadow. Many people had died and many more had injuries. Only the burly man, Roy and the young girl had no injuries.
Everyone who had survived through this battle felt happy that they had won, then grew silent when they saw the unfortunate who did not manage to be as lucky as them.
