chapter 2: [quests!]
there was a smile on my face. i couldn't keep my eyes off of the blue screen for an entire minute before i finally calmed myself down. shaking my head, i tried recalling what exactly was going on.
"did i reincarnate in a game? or is it part of an experiment or something?"
this one felt too realistic for a game.
though what was i doing before coming here?
'...'
even after trying for another minute, i still couldn't recall what i was doing before coming here. my memories.... they were blank.
'what was my name?'
"adam... adam wesker," i spoke with a sigh of relief as i could barely recall my name.
not being able to remember your origin is a suffocating feeling.
"so. what's next?"
once again, i looked at the [system] screen. scrolling down through it, i reached the [quest] area.
[quest: survive!]

"seems simple enough... ?" i muttered as i turned around and began walking as far away from the caravan as i could. since the bandits were going to come and kill me again, if i'm near the caravan, anyway, running away was the best choice.
things went well as i kept walking for another 30 minutes. though...
-thap! thap! thap!
i turned around, only to find the bandits chasing me at a rapid speed.
"are you kidding me?" i muttered as i looked at the leader reaching rather close to me and...
-slash!
[you have died!]
[game over!]
[restarting from last save point!]
[error! no save point found!]
[restarting from start!]
hot.
"let's have 3 points in dexterity and 2 in constitution," i decided to add some speed to my running this time. as long as i run away, it's fine.
a fresh aroma spread around my body as soon as i increased my dexterity. i felt like i could run a marathon right now and still won't feel tired.
and when i increased my constitution, my body felt far more vital than before. as if i had been finally set free from a disease i had been suffering from for ages.
i didn't realize it but i was already getting accustomed to this game like word.
"this fucking heat is still too much. i am so taking a bath right after this," i vowed as i began walking away from here once again. this time i ran as fast as i could, but my weak body was getting tired a bit easily.
and after running for another 30 minutes, i turned around to make sure there was no one following me.
"phew!" i sighed in relief as i saw that no one was behind me this time. and once again, i began walking away without wasting much time.
though after traveling for another 15 minutes...
-roarrrr!!!!
a giant basilisk. that's the closest description of the monster which i encountered in front of me.
"are you kidding me?" i said as i fell on the sand. my legs were weakened after running for the entire 45 minutes.
the basilisk ran towards me at a rapid speed before it took a crunch at my body.
"huh?!"
a sharp pain entered my neck as i felt my body being torn apart from my torso. to say it was painful would be an understatement...
[you have died!]
[game over!]
[restarting from last save point!]
[error! no save point found!]
[restarting from start!]
-thud!
this time, i fell on my knees as i held my neck with my hand. the feeling of the basilisk's teeth embedded into your neck was worse... the feeling of my body torn apart was...
i sat there for a few minutes, as i still couldn't shake that feeling away. while those bandits killed me in one sweep, that monster... it didn't kill me swiftly. i could still feel the moments before my death.
time passed as i was still in my thoughts before i saw the bandits coming closer to me...
'so. what to do this time?' i questioned myself.
should i let myself be killed and try again? or should i get up and fight against those bandits?
"let's not waste this time," i muttered as i collected my fear instilled self. standing up slowly as i looked at those bandits, i questioned how would i fight them without a weapon?
