[Player Ruminas has cleared the tutorial. Status panel can be opened]
"It's there again!"
"Player? Tutorial? Status board?" Ruminas wondered, but she quickly understood.
She also learned about online games and knew what these lines meant. It turned out that everything was not as simple as the end of the world as she thought.
"Let's clean this place up first."
Ruminas quickly dragged the monster's corpse up to the room while the mechanical sounds continued to ring in his head.
"Finally done. Now let's see what the sound says…"
[Tutorial rewards have been sent. Available for claim]
[Stage One Quest has appeared. Available for Acceptance]
[Surprise!]
[The Heroic Queen is interested in your character and has given you an additional reward along with a quest. Available for collection]
"Owh, there's so much… Take it easy."
"First, let's look at my status board, it's probably like stats and some basic map information."
Ruminas sat down, she bandaged her wound while trying to open her status board.
"Open status board."
Immediately, a transparent interface appeared before her with clear lines of text. Ruminas looked at it, her eyes dazzled because she didn't know where to start.

"Well, it's not that hard to understand."
Ruminas looked through everything, from basic information like level or title or profession, she could understand it all.
As for the stats, she doesn't know if this is high or low since there's no one to compare it to, but she'll continue to practice regularly so this isn't much of a problem.
As for skills, she noticed that there were only four slots maximum.
"I wonder if it will increase, but having only four skills might be too little."
"Forget it, first I have to receive the reward and then there are the missions. Looks like life won't be easy from now on."
Ruminas clicked on the tutorial reward and received it.
[Receiving guide rewards]
As soon as she chose, a flash of light appeared in front of her and a message board with a lot of words appeared in front of her.
[Those who have completed the tutorial show that they have the ability, but basic ability alone cannot help them overcome all disasters, so they will need additional necessary support skills]
"What a long introduction…"
Ruminas read it through only once and then looked down at the bottom.
[The tutorial reward is an exclusive skill based on what the player has shown]
[Choose one of the following two skills: Appraisal / Nature's Miracle]
"What should I choose…?"
"But first of all, what is an exclusive skill?" Ruminas wondered.
[Explanation: Exclusive skills are skills that will be attached to that player until they die, cannot be replaced, and can evolve after the player evolves. Note: Exclusive skills between players cannot overlap]
"Um, I see. That means this choice will be quite important to me. But before I choose, I have to see what these two skills do."
Ruminas quickly clicked on each skill to see its effects.
[Appraisal [A]: With new things constantly appearing, information about them is essential. This skill will allow you to investigate information about those things. When selected, intelligence +2, luck +1]
"A simple yet essential use! I probably should have chosen this one without thinking, but to be sure, I should read the other one first."
[Miracle of Nature [A]: Hard battles always leave behind unpredictable wounds. This skill will help you recover from wounds quickly. When selected, defense +2, endurance +1]
"I see, now it's a choice between information investigation and recovery, and the bonus stats are also a problem. The total bonus stats are the same, but obviously defense and endurance will have more effect."
"What to do…"
Ruminas began to ponder and after a few dozen minutes of serious thinking, she decided to choose…
"Appraisal!"
[Selected Appraisal skill as exclusive skill]
"Okay, let's do that. Although the recovery ability is good, it's not as good as having a lot of information. If I had enough information, I might not have to get injured."
"There's still one more reward left… Open it now."
[Receiving the Heroic Queen Award]
"I wonder what this is…?" Ruminas seemed quite excited.
[Receive a skill and an item]
"Oh, it's delicious. Let's see what it is."
Ruminas started testing that skill first.
[Slash [A]: Launches a strike that ignores all enemy defenses and shields, but can only be used three times per day. Additionally, when combined with <
"It's an attack-type skill, perfect for finishing things off, but what is the Nemesis dagger?"
Only then did Ruminas remember that she had another item, so she took it out to check it out. As expected, it was a jet-black dagger with a scale symbol on the hilt.
"Check information"
[Nemesis Dagger [A+]: Forged from the bones of the Water Dragon, has the ability to ignore a portion of the enemy's defense and will attach a bleeding effect for one minute, recovering after one hour. When used, strength +3]
"So it turns out that the two things can be combined. Normally, using this knife can already partially bypass defense, but if you use the Slash skill, you can completely bypass defense and even double the damage!"
Ruminas felt excited about the reward, and swung the knife a few times to test the balance. The feeling of holding the weapon was indeed different from her previous baseball bat. It was lighter, more flexible, and clearly more suitable for quick strikes.
"Hmm, it fits well. The design is nice too."
"Now for the second part of the mission. Um, let's check out the first mission first."
[Mission Act One – Episode One]
[Start: Get acquainted with the apocalypse and the monsters. Know how to use skills and make a plan to help yourself survive. During that process, you can choose more teammates or become a cool solo player]
[Completion conditions]
+Kill any three monsters (Incomplete) (0/3)
+Use any skill 10 times (Incomplete) (0/10)

[Reward: 500 EXP, 1 Skill Point, 5 Random Stat Points, 1 special item]
[Note: To understand more about the story background, please read <
"Well, it's not too difficult to understand, but it will take quite a while to complete. But what are skill points?"
[Explanation: Skill points are used to level up skills, and can only be obtained through main quests or some special quests and events]
"Oh, I see. There's this 0/10 in the Slash skill, so I guess I'll use it there."
Ruminas started thinking about some things. There was no time limit for this quest, but she figured she might as well finish it as soon as possible to level up.
"So I have to leave here sooner or later… Haizz"
Even though he didn't really want to, this was something Ruminas had to do.
"Oh yeah, there's one more mission. Check it out."
[Queen of Valor Mission: Part 1]
[Description: The Heroic Queen is a great queen. Although she is a woman, she has fought alone everywhere and won countless precious things. To inspire other women, the Heroic Queen herself has given this mission]
[Completion conditions]
+Kill 10 random monsters (Incomplete) (0/10)
+Participate in at least 2 random mini-games (Not completed) (0/2)
[Reward: 150 EXP, 3 Random Stat Points]
[Note: This quest is a side quest, it may not be necessary to do it and whether the quest continues or not depends on the preference of the person who gave the quest. Try to capture their favor]
"I see. It's just a combat skill development mission, but it's quite necessary."
Ruminas now suddenly felt a little dizzy from all of this. It all happened so quickly that she couldn't adapt to it, and she guessed that this was inevitable.
"For now, stay here for a while to get used to the new skills and weapons, then we'll start moving."
"Oh, right. There seems to be a prologue too. This must be an introduction to the end of the world."
Ruminas was quite nervous because she didn't know what else would be inside, but it would definitely tell her part of the reason that led to this apocalypse.
