Aaden's POV

What's in front of us right now is quite unbelievable. A wood with tall trees, there's around more than hundred, probably 3 or 2 hundreds of people outside. We went out and Hwajun close the door. Some people stared at us, office worker, police officers, some soldiers, street thugs, normal looking people,  what the- are those mafias!? There's even middle school students! I look at my friends and they seem to be observing as well, even Namjun stopped eating his lollipop and put it away. Don't worry, he has a special small box to put it in.

"It's a diversity group of people?" Hwajun stated while still observing, he pointed towards an empty space near a tree and there's less people there.

All of us went there and it's quite noisy with people panicking about this place, and obviously how they get here. I'm curious as well, how in the world we get here. I also realized when we're out of the room, it disappears immediately. There's even sounds of people crying and fighting.

"Noisy..." Yeojun mumble while sitting on the ground with his eyes close. Seriously, how in the world this guy can take a nap when we're in dilemma here. Namjun giggled and sit next to him, patting Yeojun's head. Sometimes I forgot Namjun is older than Yeojun.

"{They seems like high schoolers} {Should we ask them?} {No. What if they threaten us?} {Ptui (spitting), those kids is taking that spot all to themselves.}......" It seems these people won't stop talking about us... Haha *sigh

"They didn't even worth my spits~." Yi whistle and continue kicking the small rocks.

"What are we waiting for? Should we really just wait? It's already strange enough that we got here." Taejun said and look at all of us.

Hwajun sighed and looked at him. "So any idea what we should do then? We can't asked people around since it seems like they don't have a clue about this place as well." Hwajun got a point there.

"Taejun-ah I know you're worried that something bad would happen but we can't just do *something* about it. What if triggered this place, or much worse we could even get beaten up by those thugs." I said while looking at him. He lowered his head and cover his face with his palm.

"I'm sorry, my recklessness always kicks in when I'm so unsettled about some things." Taejun sigh while Calix comforted him.

"Let's just wait a little Tae." Calix said while patting his back. Taejun nod his head and suddenly a blue screen appears in front of all the people including us. The screen flicker and an old guy with suit appears on the screen. What bother me the most is that this old man have dark green skin, pointy ears and his teeth is a little disturbing.

"He almost looks like goblin from all the comics I read..." Calix said that with his eyes as wide as it can be.

The green man started to speak.

"Greetings players! Ah wait before that, now I officially announced you as PLAYERS of THE BROKEN LAND!" He clapped excitedly and all of the people started to panic, some tried asking questions, there's also people who started crying, oh will you looked at that, a fainted man. "Don't you think this is exciting? So first of all make sure you listen to this carefully, there will be rules. Complete the quest and get your rewards! If you failed there will be punishment depends on the quest! And that's it!" The green man just chuckle playfully.

"I can't do this anymore... Blerghhhh!" Yi threw up in the bushes besides him.

"Do you want water! Or maybe do you want Ginger Ale?" Namjun patted Yi's back and gave him a handkerchief. Yi take the mineral water and asked for candies instead.

"Thanks man... I just can't help it, that man creeps me out too much." Yi continue eating his candies.

The green man then starts talking again after the people calm down a little.

"So first of all, you could check your ability on your status window. You can open it by saying 'status window'  or  by thinking of it. There's also inventory, but only certain people have them. Quest will show up once everything is ready. So your first quest will be shown right after an hour. GOOD LUCK PLAYERS! I HOPE THE MONARCHS ENJOYED TODAY'S GAME!!!!"  the screen went off and a timer shows up.

...One hour before the quest begin....

I started thinking of it and it pop out. My name, age and gender. STR, AGI, MP, LUK, INT, DEX, VIT, HP, EXP and level? Level 1?

"Guys don't you think this looks like something in video games?" Namjun said after taking the lollipop out of his mouth.

"Yeah. This look so sick!" The depressed Taejun is nowhere to be found. It seems like he likes this kind of thing.

" That's not the point Tae." Khael said with a straight face. "But I agree with your statement... This thing look sick!" This two...

"Um, guys... focus." Both of them apologized. "Explore everything you can before the timer went off." All of them nodded their head and started checking their status window just like I said.
