Chapter 2: The new World

 After walking for 10 to 15 min we reached the destination. There were 2 small tents and 2 people were sitting near the fire, one was a middle aged man and the other was a girl probably a High schooler.(it was a little dark not night).

“What took you so long?" The middle-aged man asked. He looked up and saw us. His gaze shifted to Nolan.

“Who is she?" he questioned in confusion.

The girl also glanced at me for a moment her eyes widened and returned to normal it happened in an instant, so I was forced to think that was it my imagination, or it really happened?

“She is new here, I mean in ‘new world'. And was in trouble so I brought her here." Nolan answered.

“ But we can't trust a stranger it is risky." He was right, no matter where trusting a Stranger is always risky. I was thinking about all things that happened and making different faces, He looked at me and quickly added, “It's not like I am saying you're bad but we have to be cautious, I don't mean to disrespect you."

“No it is ok!" I quickly answered. "My name is Estelle, if you don't mind can you explain the current situation to me? it's all so.... weird." I reached out my hand for a handshake which was gladly accepted by the man.

“I am Amir and the girl sitting there is Yuri. We three are working together because it is more convenient to clear missions as a team, and I am captain of this team."

“ What are missions?"

“Nolan will explain it to you and about joining the team if you want we will think about it. Are you ok with it?"

“Yes, I am Ok and thank you for helping me." I bowed a little.

“ let me explain to you about the situation here. First this world is called ‘The new World. World where Powers exist, here everything you do is for entertainment of some people watching you from far away. Those who made this world are called GOD. You have to complete missions to survive and as I said earlier if you failed to clear the mission penalty can be your death."

“What kind of mission do we have to complete?"

“There are 3 types of missions, One is Real time Quest(RtQ), second is GameBook(GB) and third is Survival Quest(SQ).last one is for one who failed the mission, it is like re-exam that's why it is kinda hard. The one we are going to do is RtQ."

“What is GB?"

“I will explain it to you later. Now RtQ is more important. And you also have to prepare for it you can't clear the quest alone that also when you are new.What about joining our team?"

“What about Captain ? He is clearly against it."

“Don't worry about it. We need a calm and stratigistic person in our team, you will be good."

Calm my foot, I am currently in my ‘ oh-fine-zone' but...“Stratigistic..?" I asked in a confused way.

His corner of lips curves upward “ Your hand doesn't Move away from the dragger not even for a second. Normal people believe easily if you save someone. But your self-consciousness is amazing."

“I am sorry, I don't mean to offend you, It is hard for me to trust someone easily." I formally reply.

“Ah? It was a compliment by the way."

Our conversation got interrupted by the sudden floating message and once again a small scream escaped my mouth as a result I heard Nolan's laugh.

[ The RtQ will start in 1 hour. Players please join the group. The team should be of 4 members. More information will be shown at the time of mission.]

“Then if you excuse me. Think about my offer and the area of the forest is not so safe, avoid going there." Nolan stood up and went to his team. I saw them talking, Yuri was nodding on something.

I went little inside the forest, just little to not get seen by anyone. And then I started to punch the tree.

“ What.the.hell.is.happening" i punched at every word i spoke.‘1st got kidnapped 2nd that raccoons and now this mission shit. Can't i live a simple life?' I took all my anger on the tree and didn't realize when my knuckles stats to bleed. Now I only have one option that is to join their group. Survival is a must.I clinched my fist,

‘No matter in which world I am just like before I will survive.'
