Year: 2022, May 5, 9:57 am.
[0/1000]
Within everyone's face, the same hovering blue panel was in front of them.
No one knows what it means, yet everyone wants to know what it means.
Suddenly, a voice rang out within everyone's mind:
{••• Congratulations, people of the planet Earth. Your world has been chosen to be the next one to take on the chance to kill the self-proclaimed followers of the strongest Demon lord, in another world. •••}
A loud, gallant, yet refined and charming voice echoed within everyone's head.
{••• The panel before you is the number of people chosen to be sent into another world, where they or you will receive the ability to level up and learn skills that can help one to fight back against the demon army. •••}
{••• Regardless of age, gender, or status, every single one of you will have the chance to be chosen. •••}
{••• As all of you can see, the number is still Zero. Indicating that no one had been chosen yet. This world has more than 190 countries, and within my power, I will personally choose one person for each country, representing the country they live in. •••}
{••• These individual I have chosen will have 3 unique skills of their own, unlike the rest, they will only have 1 unique skill when they get to this world. •••}
As soon as the voice stopped, everyone's eyes locked onto the panel before them, and they looked at how the number rose.
Then the voice started talking once more:
{••• With this, the only thing left is to let the planet itself choose which one will fill out the rest of the count. •••}
Hearing the voice, some started to pray and hope to be one of these people, wanting to experience this new world for themselves.
Within one minute, the number was quickly filled, making those who wanted to be the one chosen, disappointed.
[1000/1000]
[Congratulations heroes, each and every single one of you will now be sent into a Tutorial area. Where the system, I, will determine whether you have the will or power to become a hero.]
[Please complete the quest given to you within the given time limit to earn your Unique skill.]
With those words being said by a metallic voice, the panel before everyone's eyes disappeared, and a new one appeared.
This panel now was different from before, unlike the one a moment ago that only had the number of people who would be chosen, this one has a long interface that one can scroll down with.
As people interacted with this new panel, some quickly realized that the numbers written within it were the same as the chosen heroes.
Within this moment a man from China hesitated before pressing the number 1 channel within it, then suddenly the panel before him widened to the same size as a standard TV.
[Channel name:
Current Quest: Kill the sacrificial lamb.
Time limit: 10:00 minutes.
Rewards: Unique skill, Basic Gear, and basic supplies for camping.]
"What's this?" The man said, confused by the sudden prompt change.
Within the panel before him is the current Quest the heroes are taking, which shows him the time limit, rewards, and the actions of the heroes taking the Quest on.
Looking inside the panel, he found a man around the age of 18-19 wielding a small knife, looking at a stagnant rabbit on the other side of the white space this man was in.
"A Japanese?" The man said, seeing the distinction of the man he was watching to them.
"Looks like this quest they have is having them be determined whether they can take another life within a time limit."
The man realized that this quest was a good one since the hero who is going into another world will have to take another life, and if they ever hesitate to take another life, they'll be the ones losing theirs.
"A simple yet good lesson for them to take." The man commented, seeing the Japanese man make his way to the rabbit.
Watching this moment go on, he wondered what the man was wielding in his hand.
From what he was seeing, it was a simple butter knife, but for some reason, it felt like it was magical.
Suddenly a panel with a question pops out before him, asking:
[Would you like to used 1% of your power stone energy to appraise the knife in the hero's hand? Y/N.
Current Power stone: 3.]
Pressing the Y in the option, another panel pops out.
[Butter knife of death.
Effects: Deal an Instant death, when coming into contact with the target of your will.
Type: One-time use. The item will be destroyed the moment it is used.
Recommendation: Use it on the sacrificial lamb to complete the quest as soon as possible.]
Seeing the large amount of explanation on his face, he wondered if the hero he was looking at knew this, since the man was making all kinds of postures on how to use the knife to kill the rabbit.
[Would you like to use 1 power stone completely, to obtain the ability to send 5 messages to every Channel of heroes, which they can read to help them with their quest? Y/N.]
Without a sense of hesitation, the man pressed the Y option and typed in what he knew about the item the hero was wielding, on the keyboard that appeared in his panel.
On the hero's side, within the white space, another panel appeared before him.
Reading it, he said, "Really?"
Seeing how the message within the panel said that he only needed to put his will into killing the rabbit before him to activate the instant death effect on it.
The hero put his will into his knife; he pressed the knife into the rabbit's head, and as the message said, the rabbit instantly died.
As the man watched the hero he helped with his findings, the other people watching the same hero moved to the other channel, gave out the same information.
Helping the heroes clear their quest within the time limit, allowing them to move to the next world they will live in.
***
One hour later—
"I did well." The man said, after learning that the other spectators like him had spread out the information he learn, to the other heroes, allowing them to move forward in their story.
Currently, the man was watching on his monitor for the other heroes' channel.
A moment ago, some genius decided to livestream all the heroes ' channels into one app.
With this, everyone in the world can watch all the channels there are.
Currently, more than 984 channels are being shown on his monitor.
Each one showed different heroes, with different situations; some were fighting monsters like goblins, slimes, and other weak monsters, others were exploring the area, and some just slept in an open field.
"What should I do now?" The man questioned, seeing how he had nothing to do.
Seeing the different channels on his monitor and from the actual panel system, he wondered what those other 16 channels were doing.
With the idea in his mind, he looked at his monitor and at his panel, skipping the one being livestreamed on the internet and going to the ones not.
From this, he found the other was simply normal things like the other heroes, exploring the land, killing monsters to level up, and interacting with the people in this world.
As he scrolled down and went through each channel, the man was finally on the last number:
"Channel 1000 and the last hero too, wondered what this person is doing now?" He said, pressing into this channel.
"..... What!?" The man exclaimed, seeing the same white space from the Tutorial quest earlier.
In the panel, a brown-skinned man was strangling the rabbit of the Tutorial quest.
Quickly going to chat, he sends a message:
[How is this guy still in the Tutorial area? Wasn't there a time limit of 10 minutes?]
[Your new right?] Another person replied to his message.
[That's right. I just got here after going to the other heroes channel that wasn't part of the livestream on the internet.]
[I see, I've been watching this guy since the start, and all this time he's been strangling the rabbits to death.]
[Can you explain how this is possible?] The Chinese man quickly chatted.
[You know the Unique Title?]
"Unique Title, this thing is like a unique passive skill that can greatly help the heroes on their own, each hero has one of them. The hero I was watching before had the title: [Double rewards]."
[Well, this guy Unique Title is called: Repeater. A Title that's been repeating his quest for the last hour already!] The commentator replied to the Chinese man.
[Repeats his quest? Does that mean this person has been killing the same rabbit all this time?]
[Yess]
Seeing the last reply from the other watcher, the man wondered how this hero was doing now.
***
Within the Tutorial area:
[Congratulations you have killed the sacrificial lamb!
You have earned 10 EXP.]
A system panel appeared before him, looking at it, the man hoped and prayed for it not to appear.
[The Unique Title: Repeater — has activated.]
"No!!! Please stop!" The man screamed, seeing the same thing once again.
Watching the rabbit corpse disappear before him and a new one appear, the man wanted to cry his eyes out.
Over an hour and a half ago, the man was simply looking at the panel that was in front of everyone else.
When he heard the voice say that one thousand people were gonna be chosen, he didn't expect that he would be one of those people.
When he got to this place, the man was greeted by a system panel, telling him he needed to kill the rabbit within the same space.
Hype, by the situation, the man made his way to the rabbit and touched its head, then a message appeared telling him he cannot summon the system, since he already interacted with the rabbit, unless he kills the rabbit and escapes from this place.
Because of this, the man was left with only his hand to strangle the rabbit before him to clear the quest.
When he did so, his Unique Title activated, repeating the same quest.
Since then, the man has been trapped in this place, killing the same rabbit over and over again with only his hand.
He had already killed the rabbit over 69 times since then, and had been earning 10 EXP over 68 times already.
With this kill, it would be his 70th kill of the sacrificial lamb.
[Congratulations you have killed the sacrificial lamb!
You have earned 10 EXP.]
"Please don't appear...." The man prayed.
[Congratulations! You have successfully clear the quest.
You will now receive the beginner gear, along with the rest of the rewards.]
[A unique skill according to what you accomplished in this place, along with all the experience points you earn from the repeated quests of yours.]
[You will now be sent into the world of: Galia.]
"... Yes!" The man said, finally able to leave this place.
