I mumbled out loud "Entry" while gently massaging the symbol on my right hand.
I found myself instantly in my personal space with no furniture other than a simple bed.
Since I had already decided what I was going to do, I did not linger in my personal space and called up the system screen.
[ Please select the game mode and level you want to play ]
I took a deep breath as I looked at the long list that suddenly appeared in front of me. Although I am not someone who gets easily excited about such events, this was my first time playing such an extreme game.
Only 24 hours have passed since I opened my eyes to this world.
As I looked at my profile screen above the list, my excitement slowly calmed down as I looked at my SSS-level special ability.
Even though I was a little scared that people were betting their own lives on this damn game, I was excited at the same time. Besides, from the beginning I had awakened an SSS-level ability, a level that had never been heard of before.
After taking one last deep breath, I clicked on the survival battle at the top of the list of games that I could join.
As soon as my finger met the system screen, my body felt lighter for a short while and the next moment I found myself in a completely different place.
I found myself crammed into a one square meter space with walls made of glass in the middle of a forest that looked as wild as the Amazon jungle.
[ 1 month cut off from your life span... ]
[ Remaining life span: 22 years, 11 months and 28 days... ]
[ Prize for being in the top ten: life span +1 month ]
[Prize for being in the top three: life span +3 months]
[ First reward: life span +8 months ]
[ Time remaining until the start of the game: 10...9...8... ]
Yesterday, thanks to a little research on the internet, I knew more or less what these screens in front of me were.
If I make it to the top ten in the game, my total life span will increase by 1 month, which means I will have earned my entry fee again, and if I make it to the top three, my total life span will increase by 3 months.
If I win first place, my life expectancy will increase by 8 months, which is almost an extra year of life.
Hufff....
I wish I was born earlier in this world and like other people I was educated in school about this fucking death game.
But unfortunately, when I opened my eyes, I found myself in the body of an 18-year-old boy about to graduate from high school.
Sighing with regret, suddenly the invisible walls surrounding my body disappeared.
In my previous life, I had watched many movies, and TV series and even played games similar to the concept of this game, so I knew that a fast start was everything.
As soon as I came to, I immediately started running like I knew where I was going.
After jumping over the thick roots of the trees that protruded above the surface of the earth and continuing to run for a while, unfortunately, I didn't come across a supply box as I had imagined. But what was standing in front of me was a boy who seemed to be about my age.
When I looked at him, I saw that his hands were also empty and he was not wearing any armour or any other magical device.
In my previous life, I was a real criminal, unlike the common criminal. Naturally, in a battle with bare hands, there was no way I could lose against an ordinary person.
With this in mind, I immediately started running towards my opponent, who, seeing me, raised his fists and got into position like a novice boxer.
Although I could see that there were some mistakes in his positioning since I wasn't sure that boxing in this world was the same as boxing in my world, I assumed that he was at least a little skilled in fighting and I proceeded with caution.
I ran quickly towards my opponent and then, with the momentum created by my speed, I swung a right fist at his face.
As I expected, my opponent was not an ordinary person. He tried to deflect my punch with the side of his arm and punched me with his right hand.
But I also realized from this action that he was not an experienced expert because the force I put into my fist was not that much. He must have realized that because he easily deflected my punch. But he didn't...
I had used my left foot to stop my running and with momentum from my right foot, I quickly lifted my right foot into the air and struck the boy in front of me in the jaw with my right heel.
The boy's head was thrown backwards and he lost his balance and I took the opportunity to punch him in the stomach. Immediately afterwards, I pushed him with my shoulder, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground.
And finally, I lifted my foot and stomped on his head a few times with all my strength.
Just as I had expected, the boy who was my opponent lost consciousness after these attacks.
After catching my breath for a while, I started hitting him again, this time to figure out the mechanics of the game.
When I raised my fist and hit the unconscious boy in the face, numbers appeared in the air where my fist and the boy's head met.
-10
This number indicated the boy's decreasing amount of health. I raised my right hand and called out "profile" to find out what the total amount of health was, and a hologram screen appeared above the strange tattoo on my right hand.
