Chapter 3 - Chapter 3 - The 32nd murim-

[

Welcome to the 32nd murim!

]

"H-huh?!"

"T-the thirty second murim?! What the heck is that".

I stood up from where I sat, dusting my already dirty jeans until.

Another system message followed

[

You have witnessed the horizon! Your increases by +20.

]

'The horizon'. Was that the name of the place I was just at, if so they were quite literal when they were naming it.

"....!!"

"Where am I anyway?"

I asked my self a question, not expecting a reply so what happened next was truly shocking.

["The world you are on right now is called the 32nd murim"].

I heard a voice. The voice sounded too real to be a system message, it had a female pitch and what's more, it seemed to emanate from within me. Panicked by the sudden occurrence, I spat

"What, who the heck are you?!"

Again the words came out louder than I intended. So on the outside, I was shouting to no one in particular. It was lucky that no one else was around to see this because if they did, they would start saying weird things.

["I am your 'partner'.

The system paired me together with you o be your assistant and aid you as you commence your journey accros worlds. You may call me rem"].

I was silent. Completely dumbfounded at just how thorough the system was for it to even set up personal assistants for us.

["Though most of it is locked because of your low , I have a vast library of information which you can access at a words notice"].

. This was the third time I heard this word and frankly, it was starting to worry me. So I asked.

"What is this..... you speak of?".

'Rem' replied.

["It refers to just how much information you have about the universe in general and yours is quite low"].

It bluntly said. I was starting to feel like some sort of idiot because of my low so I asked another question.

"How did you know that my is low".

["Check your and see for yourself"].

'? What is that?' I thought to myself. And as if on cue I heard yet another system message and a small panel appeared in front of me.

[

Would you like to check your status window

Yes/No

]

I thought for some time before saying.

"Yes".

The small panel closed and another larger one replaced it. The large panel contained my information.

]

I looked at this window for quite a long time before opening my mouth.

"I see".

I had a rough idea of how my skills worked, but I got demoralized when I saw my stats.

"An average of 10 huh".

This was truly just like a game or your classic system-genre novel, with skills and stats. My stats were quite low but that depended on where I currently was so I said while walking towards the edge of the cliff of where I was.

"You said this place was called the 32nd murim, right? Fascinating".

I looked ahead from atop the cliff to see a large city, the size of an entire country. The city itself was quite developed, at least from where I stood.

"If this is truly a murim world, then that place must be the main town. Right?"

["Correct"].

Rem gave a short reply.

I breathed in. There is little to no mention of the outside world in murim novels so I had no idea what to expect all the way out here.

*Rawwwwwrhh*

I heard a loud roar and instinctively turned back to see a large bear like monster standing at a height of almost 9 feet tall. The creature had purple-black skin as well as two large horns on its head

"W-what the hell is that?"

I asked already shaking.

["A horned demon bear"].

Rem replied, prompt as always.

The horned demon bear, as Rem called it crept towards me little by little already drooling after having found dinner. I continuously stepped back, forgetting that I was on top of cliff until I took another step backwards and realized that there was no ground for me to rest my weight on, so I fell downwards. To the bottom of the cliff, I fell and as I was falling, it felt as though Tim was slowed down.

'shit. Am I seriously about to die when I just got here'.

"H-help!!" I shouted at the top of my voice. But no one came to my rescue.

I stopped falling, expecting to feel the pain of crashing into the hard floor of the ground but that feeling never came. Instead, I was greeted by a warm soft but slippery 'floor'. I thought I had been saved until.....

My vision darkened and I realized that I just fell inside the mouth of a certain creature. It seemed that my shout earlier had attracted it. I was digested but luckily I managed to avoid the fluids meant to dissolve me. I was trapped inside the stomach of this creature, there were no possible weopons around as everything had already been dissolved by the stomach fluids. All I could do was keep track of track of time and count the number of days I spent in it's stomach.

.

.

.

It had been 5 days since I entered the stomach of the monster. I was keeping track of every second that passed by so as to not lose my sense of time, until

*Slice*

The creature was cut up from the outside. I saw the opening as a chance to escape as I crawled out of the monsters intestines.

As the light returned to my vision, I was greeted by a set of people, two to be exact but my body was already out of energy so I couldn't say anything.

As I dangled about, one of the people seemed to have noticed me as they pointed in my direction but I was so tired that I couldn't even pick up sound so I gathered all my remaining energy and mouthed

"Help me".

And then my vision blacked out. I fainted.
