The darkest thing in the universe is actually the heart of a living creature not physically though. You will get notifications explaining things in the novice protection period. So be sure to upgrade your base well to improve your strength in all round way.
Your mobile base has its defense, but if it is broken others can come in to snatch your things. Beware of the greed of others and how low they can stoop to get benefits."
The information was clearly displayed to him explaining many things related to survival world. But this did not explain the information related to resources and other distributions. He has to learn them on his own.
Right at that time someone in the boat behind him called out to him gaining his attention.
"Hey Bobby…."
Bobby turned around to find his friend Abe in the boat behind him. Right then he remembered the last thing before coming to this survival game. At that time he was in the class and the teacher just came with the time being 10 AM.
He blanked out at that time and next moment he appeared here. He carefully observed and found that all the people in the small boats are his classmates. There is also his hot female teacher Linda.
But combining all they are not 100 people. He noticed some from another class beside them and their teacher George present.
"So the 100 boats have 2 classes worth of students and teacher. There is also attendant and a security guard mixed in…" He muttered and turned to talk to his friend Abraham or Abe for short.
"Hey Abe, you are still alive. I remember that you fear heights right."
Bobby spoke to Abe and Abe looked really afraid as he held the edges of the boat to stay safely in the boat lowering his body as much as possible to be in the boat. The boat would sway with the wind making it wobbly, frightening people.
Some even vomited with wailing and screaming heard from few boats ahead and back. Bobby on the other hand was silent not because he is brave but because he was also frightened. Fortunately he is in the job of killing beasts.
So his level of fear is slightly lower than other making him more stable. He did not talk much to Abe and the one in the front is also the same. Also he did not know if anyone from the 100 people preset passed away because of fright as most people ducked down in the boat in fear.
Right then his attention was drawn to the centre of the boat where there is a consol that projects light screen with options related to the boat. Among them he looked at the option called chat interface.
He opened it and found different options.
Planet chat (All the people from planet earth): only one message can be sent per day.
Block chat (People in a block of 100 regions): 10 free messages can be sent per day.
Regional chat (people in the region): 100 free messages can be sent per day.
Train/local chat (People in your train): unlimited.
.......
As the names suggest he know that train/local chat has 100 people, regional chat has 10 thousand people which is 100 trains, block chat has 1 million people which is 10 thousand trains and planet chat has all the people on earth present here.
He did not touch planet or block chat instead he opened the regional chat to see. It started at the very beginning and it started to refresh quickly making him hard to keep up with refreshed messages.
.........…
Regional chat: 10000/10000...........
"Where am I…? Did someone kidnap me? I have money, I have influential father. Let me go…"
"Upstairs, why are you speaking the routine. What era are you from? In the modern world everyone knows about this kind of survival plots."
"That is true, but I have to make it sound well to give a vibe of terror right. The name of the survival setting also has terror in it, you know…"
"Perhaps, are you an actor that did not get selected in any shows and is trying to show your acting talent here?"
"You got it right… how did you find out?"
"Figures… it is as clear as day."
"Did anyone know what kind of curse they got? Did anyone get a blessing to see the curse of others?"
......….
Regional chat: 9995/10000...........
"How did 5 people died."
"Probably heart attack from fear of height. We are after all in a boat floating at hundreds of meters right…"
......…..
There are things moving at a faster speed. He did not type anything only took a look before coming out. He only muttered one thing.
"Unlike those C country novels the people in real survival situations are more intelligent and are ready much calmer. May be they would start panicking when they face real danger.
But this opening is really hard to describe. It fits the word 'terror' perfectly. Probably most people die from this kind of terror instead of the survival challenge."
While Bobby was thinking there is a new announcement.
.........…
"Hello everyone, all the survivors got their blessing and curse.
Now we are going to start our terror survival journey officially.
You will have novice protection for 3 days.
Hope you do not die during the novice protection…"
Audience: ….Speechless…
The announcement continued.
"Check your status and the information of your lord base carefully to know more information.
Since everyone start at the same point you will all go to the first docking station in about an hour.
The situation at the docking station is same for everyone. It is a resource point without any danger. Well the danger is always there but it depends on you. If you provoke it, it is a danger. If not it is a safe place.
Survive and become strong…."
