Chapter Name : Neutral Insane
Darux Dela Torre's POV :
"... are you, perhaps a mortal that knows many things about this trial?", Naxk'sa asked me.
"Huh?", I felt confused and triggered too at his/her question. Readers, don't you dare look at me blankly. Ask that damn author of this novel why did he quickly fast forward this kind of scene, and I don't know any shit here.
Silence.
"You...you're the only one being calm while I give the message before, hmmm... perhaps you are a s-"
"woah, not so fast Brody Black Joe Hoe. I'm not like what you call me, nor not that kind of what you'll say. I didn't know what even do you mean", I cutted him and continued after taking some breath.
"Can you help me here? like at least give me lighting? I felt like I'm nerfed NPC subcharacter here you know?"
"What are you saying? I didn't know there's a script like this", The voice of Naxk'sa said in confusion.
To be honest, it's ironic that he can see be but I can't see him/her. Just don't say Johnny's motto please...
"Anyways, I can't help you here. I am a Guide, not a Helper. I guide everyone capable of getting stronger to top, and let the weaker others fall in despair. I don't usually care to all of you..."
"It's just that... your starter pack are much different to others", The voice mumbled and that did quite perceived by my ears.
"What starter pack?"
"Hiii! you hear! that's supposed to be a secret!"
"You're voice a not that weak even you mumble you know?"
"T-then don't listen to it! You lowly genius peasant!", The voice shouted in... embarrassment? Ignore the insult first.
"..."
I stared blankly in nowhere, hoping that I get Naxk'sa was.
"Uhh, I'm here? Why are you looking so far? Didn'tyou should look at me afte that fail?"
"Ah, right. Sorry, where are you?"
"At your left"
"Okay. Thanks for being a good child telling me where you are, Billy"
I moved my blank stare at my left just to I hear a slight whimper from there, ha ha ha that accuracy.
Sheer dumbness.
*****
After some persuasion, I still didn't get a help on that guide.
Plus, I asked myself a question everyone should know. Why did that guide choose to bug me off when I'm just a lone one and not those groups?
Nah, don't care, don't know.
Walking for hours still trying to find lightings, keep myself near the wall to prevent getting injury in the dark. My Senses weren't too good and I can only use my sense of touch, My eyes already beginning to adapt the darkness. A loud booming voice came again.
=○==○==○==○==○==○==○==○==○==○=
Participants! the trial has been started!
Prepare to fight the enemies and survive!
Floor 1 : Normal
Enemy Type : Zombies & Skeletons

"Fuck? It already started?!" I scowled hearing the voice.
*****
At the Girl Camps side~
Everyone frozed except Akino which were now convulsing, she's... intoxicated in the news. Growls and groans are starting to echo near them, making the others shiver and tremble in fear.
"Fuck it let's just do what we can!", Selene snarled before picking a long piece of wood.

Back to Darux~
Literally running now, I sped off my normal pace towards the straight way I've been trying to go. But I still don't know it I'm a lucky one or not...
*tap*
*tap*
*drag*
I stopped when I heard footsteps, since this is dark I should not be carefree.
*SSSHIIICKKK*
*SSSHIIICKKK*
*GROWL*
My face turned pale for a second, this is a typical sound that I even don't want to hear. Sound of gnashing teeth and growls, only one thing could do this.
Zombies.
A fictional monster but for me? I do prepared myself for these kind of encounters but not that easily. I only know the basic, find a bat, don't make large movements, hit the head.
I don't know how many was there, Two? Three? it's definitely not one since I felt two presence almost near me. I'm not really a sensitive guy but I still can know what's happening on my surroundings.
'Where the fuck am I? did I just get inside a damn graveyard?', I thought while preparing myself from attacks.
'I know that I played too much games, and I felt like dream come true when I heard that Roque's explanation about portals but heck. I don't want to die in this', I thought calmly making me really confused.
'Status!', I shouted in my mind as a mint green tab appeared with letters embedded in it.

I look blankly, what the fuck?
I keeped my complain in myself and check my surroundings, it's hard to see in dark.
Sensing a movement from my left, I turned around and perform a leg swipe circular hitting a slimy and moist object before hearing a loud thud and next wear growls from back. I quickly ended the life of the one I hit with a splitting kick downward on were I heard the clacking, earning a crunching sound from it.
*THUDD!*
*CRUNCH!*
*GRRR!*
*GRRR!*
I expected that the two were now running in the source of sound, since it's also a trivial.
They can't see but they can hear, they can't smell but the can feel. Walking like ragdolls even they were already running, I based on shuffling of footsteps like nervous person being chased.
I tapped the ground feeling that this were not that moist, circling my movement of touch in my range I felt something hard and rough. If this is a stone then I'm lucky, gripping it hard I waited.
The growls were coming near and I just needed an exact time to do it, I huffed shakily in extreme nervousness.
'Is this what we called adrenaline? or I'm just simply overwhelmed by nervousness?', I thought. Counting down, I waited.
6...
5...
4...
3...
2...
'Fuck it!', I thought.
1...
*Swoosh*
I performed another leg swipe knocking successfully the first one hit on far left and the second fall near me, it growled and released an awful stench. I stopped my breathing and hit it with my hand holding stone in chest? my hands felt the ribcage if you ask me. I swiped out the flesh from my hand letting off the stone, fuck that smell.
The stone entered freely making the zombie fall down, while I'm still waiting at it the awaited thing begins.
The first one glow in white covering all of it's body making me see the enemies for a brief second. One were far unmoving getting strucked by sharp spikes, it wear a tattered wool clothes, and it's half were exposed showing unsightly rotting insides.
Seems like it fell down there.
The one I have been punched to were slowly crawling towards me weakly, it's wearing the same attire as the other one but this one were clearly a woman because of its long ruined hair barely hanging on it's scalp, it's rotten arms dangling the flesh it have were trying to reach my leg. green murks and violet flesh can be seen, I felt throwing up but for some reason I didn't.
The light died off and I heard a thud on my back, I know it.
A bat or something like that.
Moving one of my hands at my back, I gripped hard the wooden part of it and a pull and slam were next after I raised the bat, a satisfying squishing sound and a final groan make me feel relief.
The body shines again at the same time of the one in the spikes, after that the bodies disappeared with out a trace. Looking at it, I found a blue gem sparkling dimly. I saw a glimpse of a part of a little object, though I don't know what it is. Taking it, I move slowly near the spikes. I carefully searched and check the exact place where the zombie died and touched something circular bottle and some... coins?

I felt exhausted, and sat down in the cold tiles. My sight in the dark can now see blur shapes, this is because it's just a lvl 1.
Didn't know it's hard to move like that.
At least I killed three zombies, I chuckled before standing up and walked cautiously passing the spikes. Equipping the sword, I leaved the hall. I got a good weapon, the grinding will now start.
