" Wh- what the heck is this data !!?"
Ash was startled with the situation he was presented.
"bounce! what's this virtual data screen!?"
Ash looked at rose.
' baby let me explain '
The white fury ball surrounded by visible light sparks stood in front of him and it's voice rang in ash's head.
' I am a database system controlled by the world window to help you achieve your task in upcoming apocalypse that your world will face. My name was given as Rose by my previous host currently I am chosen to be your guide'
Ash was still possessing with the sudden information splashed on his face "system? World window? guide? "
Something beyond normal is considered strange so things like people's believe turning some numerical data surely will confuse.
' yes! we systems help our Host in achieving there task during apocalyptical period ' rose answered to his first question then continued with his other question '... The world window is the home control system of all periods presented to all worlds when they have reached to a certain degree of qualifications to enter the period so they can choose strongest to survive while claiming the top position of food chain in the world window ranking board. '
Through out the whole explanation ash just listened to what rose spoke and held his curiosity intake and just waited for rose to finish.
' And about guide, it means that I will help you enter the period to achieve goals... simply put i will work as an identity for you to participate in apocalypse period'
Rose finished explaining but ash was still pondering over the deep explanation۔
Of course any person in his position would be confused when they were having existential crisis.
Ash was already waiting for unexpected details of rose's sudden appearance in that monster's stomach and at that time maybe the shock was more accepting due to the world he was living wasn't just any normal something like supernatural existence shouldn't be odd but he was face slapped with the systemic control on there world.
Was he inside some kind of video game presented with a system to guide newbies in play?
Ashton shaked his head and let go of complicated thoughts , he directly asked
"I know about apocalypse thing but the term period , it's seem like period decides what type of apocalypse we will face!"
Rose simply answered to his question ' yes you can phrase it like that and the apocalyptic period your world will face is called -THE WORLD'S MOST FITTEST SURVIVAL TEST - '
After finishing rose displayed a virtual screen that was highlighted with bold letters written but Actually ash was too distracted with in his own thoughts that he just didn't see it and his thoughts were circling over to what rose said. 'the world's most fittest survival test'
Those words were giving false alarm in his head that he might have heard those words somewhere in his past life.
'wait !'
Ash finally got the hint.
In his past life he heard these words from his girlfriend during his university years.
' Zan~ so I am telling you that this is a master piece! ' a girl with short brown haired said.
Ashton's past self was named zan and he had a girlfriend during his university years.
'what the!? It's just an action novel and I don't read novels'
Aston in his last life was not interested in novels or more like his interest was on online video games .
' but I am sure you will like it and for your information this novel has its video game updation!! '
The novel, his girl suggested had a game updation, of course zan's interested was prickled with the sudden involvement of game but maybe the games he had played were not that much of interesting to him that he felt so bored, so he just tried to ignore it but his girlfriend still insist him to play .
Surely his girlfriend wanted him to play because zan was really cool playing video games so no wonder his girlfriend will ask him to play with her but he was already in his senior years so he needed to be serious for his future career.
' No I am still busy with preps !' zan rejected
' fine! But you can at least just give it a try right ? Pretty Please don't say no ! ' his girlfriend pleaded him with her hands clasping together like begging.
' fine only when I am free ..is that okey?'' zan sighed with no other choice he had to just play it once.
' woo hoo yeah let's play together then get in top rankings!'
Zan really hit the bulls eye. His girlfriend really wanted to boost playing games to show off.
' do I have to read novel too?' zan helplessly shaked his head and looked at the thick books that his girlfriend was showing to him . He really hated reading long paragraphed books and novels was his least choice.
' yes it's important for playing game' his girlfriend handed him three thick volumes.
Staring at the thick books zan looked at his girlfriend with the expression of -really am I supposed to read these thick books?-.
His girlfriend already guessed why he was silent with a blank expression and just nodded her head .
Zan sighed of course he will skip reading and directly play the game without telling her then he looked at the title of book and it said
"the world's most fittest survival test!!!!" ash was shocked as he repeated the name again
' ain't that the name of novel that my girlfriend recommended me in my past life!!? No! It may have similar names!. Yes! That should be! ' ash thought then looked at rose but he noticed the virtual screen that he had been neglecting since earlier.

"The fvck is this!? " Ash tried to touch the virtual screen but his fingers went through it.
"Oi Shit!"
Ash was weird out by this new information and grabbed his hands back.
'okey this is such a weird shit! Am I really inside that God damn game?' he thought.
Then ash realized something. He was born in this world with his past life memories intake so why didn't he realize it soon? Maybe it was because he was so into playing house with his family and the fact that he was kidnapped and tortured for two whole years, everything that he felt was all so damn real to him so how will he just take it as simple as a video game ? yes maybe he was really inside that game because his life was another tragedy character's story! Like how he has been living in the world without realizing that everything around him was really like the setting from that game but the only difference would be that he was in control of himself, no one was holding his strings to control him like a puppet.
" Okey if I am really inside that damn novel or that game, there is only one way to find the answer!" Ash said as he was confirming to himself ignoring to the explanation of rose . "To reach the end of game!"
'....then we will start from now on' Rose finished explaining but then it noticed ash was long zoning out from its explanation and he was constantly changing his mood from curious-shock-mad-calm then to determination.
" Huh? What were you saying?"
He just realized that he has been neglecting rose.
' Baby the radio don't repeat again!' rose was angrily pouting as it turned it's body to other side.
" E!? Sorry I was distracted , could you please don't mind repeating hmm?"
Ash walked to face rose who was angrily turning it's small frame to other side but then it stopped doing so.
"please rose I will hear this time" ash said with his pleading eyes.
If he really was inside that novel then he at least knew what to do but he still needed to confirm one or two things as he was somehow feeling a little regret not ever reading that novel and only played the game.
Rose heard ash calling him first time with it's given name so it finally gave up ignoring him and said
'Only now you call me rose where is your 'bounce' huh? '
"sorry I will call you rose from now on!" ash said like he was confirming to himself to never ever call it bounce but Rose didn't dislike him calling bounce at all.
'its okay - you can call me that , anyway 'rose' was my name given to me by previous host!'
" No! rose is fine! I am not good with naming anyway" ash shrugged his shoulder helplessly as it knew his bad naming habit.
' whatever then I will start hmmm ' rose just nodded it's head and continued 'there are too many things to explain if we start again so I will just tell you basic for now and skip the later for some other time '
Rose pulled the virtual screen that it was explaining to ash who was not listening to him earlier.
' I will start from here '
the light blue virtual screen appeared in front of ash.
[World code no.#human57723-3
Period . WMFST
Q.host . Ashton
Quest. (Pending...)
Difficulty . Still beginners lv.
Rank. No rank yet. ]
'What you see here is just your general info ' rose added
Ash took a serious look on the screen and was able to understand what this general data meant because he had played that game so it was like a basic knowledge.
like Inside that game's setting, player could choose any random world they want to start playing, and mostly players chooses from five most strongest world ruled by immortal- dragons- fairies- beasts- aqua , from this, it was easy to understand that human world was not included with strongest but it was on the same list of weakest . It was because all those strongest world had been there for billion-trillion centuries of ago and not even our galaxy was that old or maybe it was just a baby chick in front of these powerful creatures!
'world code#earth57723-3 that means I am actually on the original earth planet '
Ash heaved a sigh as he was thankful to at least being born on earth and no other unknown origin planet but there were still problem for him like the number he said '57723' that means it was the current rank of there world and in last '3' means it should be third apocalypse on earth or third period.
The rank changes when even more strongest player leveled up and become the most strongest in the whole world then to whole universe.
Looking below he saw 'period WMFST' it meant that the apocalypse or the game's chosen path from start to finish was to become strongest individual and forming strongest team then sit at the top food chain.
He looked further down and saw his name, of course if he was not qualified host how would he have the excess to play the period but the quest option was still pending that meant one thing, the period has yet to be officially start so he was still at an early stage to start.
"I can understand this" ash said to rose because he already knew game's setting as to how to start so he skipped asking about more and directly said "show me my profile and state window"
Rose was silent for a few seconds because it was still thinking from where to start basic explanation to ash but then it heard ash saying that he already understood, now looking at him rose saw that those eyes of ash were telling like he needn't any explanation anymore.
'okay' rose changed the general info to profile and state info.
Ash was taken back when he looked at his profile and state data. Now that he could understand where his shoes were, he was a little perplexed with his info window.
Looking at them, he had only one reaction 'am I that weak?'
