Chapter 25 24. Run!

Shane had no idea what was going on outside. He had just opened the world setting tab when he got a pop-up all of a sudden:

[Do you want to create your imaginary self inside the host's mind to operate the interface better?]

Shane clicked the yes button, and soon after that, his body appeared in the darkness. Shane's body was illuminated by a stage light that came from above. He blinked as he looked around. To his surprise, he could move his limbs well, but he couldn't walk. He stretched his neck and glanced at the interface in front of his eyes.

"This is way better!"

[If you want to continue to operate using this means, you can click the option below:

Stage view.

If you want to go back to your previous perspective, choose the option below: 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖

First-person view

Description: You can see everything that that host is seeing through the interface window, but you can still feel all the host's senses. If you want to block feeling senses, click the option below:

Block senses.

You'll find this option again in the tool section] 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

Shane's body relaxed as he clicked the stage view option, but he didn't choose the blocking option since he wanted to continue feeling the surroundings. It might give him more clues about the situation. After this, he received another prompt.

[System 12254801, kindly turn on your livestream in accordance with your job profile]

Shane was stunned when he realized that he had forgotten about the livestream section. He quickly went back and turned it on. soon enough, he started getting viewers.

[You have 10 viewers]

[You have 15 viewers]

[You have 20 viewers]

"Mute all," Shane muttered as he sighed in relief. He didn't want to constantly hear that female voice in his head while he was focusing on the task at hand. He only got silent notifications about how many viewers he had, and he could also see them at the top.

The numbers were increasing.

Shane raised his brows. The livestreams were popular for a reason in this world. The more famous a system was among their peers, the higher the chances of earning more money. There wasn't an entertainment world here for people. These systems only watched livestreams more often to get rid of boredom.

That was probably why Ed could become more powerful and even purchase a high-end robot like Dirt. So if Shane wanted to get stronger, he would have to become popular as well.

He shook his head and decided to read the world setting already. He had wasted enough time. Just as he was about to read, he heard the host's familiar voice in his head, "What's taking you so long? Aren't systems supposed to be ready with the world setting and give me information instantly?"

"I'm sorry I couldn't act like your ideal system," Shane's sarcastic words poured out of his mouth as he glared at whatever was visible in front of his eyes since he couldn't see the host anyway, "You can find a replacement if you want. Goodbye."

The host immediately sobered up and said. "Fine! I'm sorry! Can you send me the details?"

Shane pursed his lips and decided to forward the information to the host while reading at the same. In any case, that was what he was supposed to do anyways as mentioned by the bald instructor. He immediately copied the information and sent it to the host through the chat section, "Read it."

After saying that, Shane didn't say another word, as he started reading the world setting.

[Name: Witspidom

Living organisms found: Witches, Wizards, Elves, Dwarves, and Humans.]

Shane frowned. Could it be that there was a war between all of these species combined? He shook his head and continued reading onward.

[Geography: All the first four species live on the Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western continents]

No place for humans? Shane could already tell what was going on here. Humans might have been enslaved and they retaliate, which would probably lead to the world's destruction. So in this situation, his host might be a human.

[History of the world: The world was mostly peaceful during the 21st century when humans became greedy for power and magic. So they initiated a massacre and killed several innocents of different species, becoming the most powerful beings across the Witspidom. Two centuries later, human technology was destroyed and the other species retaliated and took back what belonged to them, but things never remained peaceful after that. Slowly, the humans' existence ceased with only a handful remaining, and they were hated to the point that if spotted on either continent, they would be killed on the spot.]

Shane raised his brows at this time. Up until now, things were almost predictable. It seemed his master had made things easier for him. He couldn't help but feel relieved. That bald man finally showed some care for his only disciple!

[The host: Noah Webster, a high school student.

Characteristic: A backbencher, childish fellow.

Mission: Become the most powerful being and destroy all the enemies

Rewards: the host can return to life]

Giving such a mission to a backbencher? Shane's brows jumped in surprise. He wasn't really against the backbenchers because some of those he knew from his class were smart enough to compete with him, but they just were too lazy to study. It was just that when he read the term: childish fellow…. Things didn't look optimistic anymore.

Shane took a deep breath. He knew this host wasn't a real person but created out of data using his stats, but why did they have to send him a childish teenager? He couldn't help but feel disappointed at this.

In any case, he would have to be there to handle any situation just in case. After that, he continued to read through the information on the page.

[Tasks:

1. Find a weapon]

That was it. The first task was given by default, and Shane was responsible for choosing the tasks for the host every time the previous one was completed. He stared at the information for a while before he frowned.

Why the f*ck did he need to find a weapon when he could buy it easily from the shop? Then he went to the host dashboard only to find out that he contained only a hundred Crana, which wasn't enough to even buy him enough meals for an entire day.

Shane immediately searched the shop and found something worthwhile:

A magic stealing bracelet!

His eyes lit up, but when he noticed how much it cost, he curbed his emotions and asked his host, "What do you want to do?"

"Do I have a f*cking choice? I have to finish this stupid task if I want to live again."

"Then let's go. We have to start searching for the weapon," Shane muttered under his breath as he opened the tools tab opened on the screen. There was a scanning thing that was the only option that could be used unlimitedly for free. He could scan the surrounding area of the host to avoid entering a difficult situation.

He immediately pressed that tab and waited for a few seconds before receiving a report. It was presented in the form of radar with the host being at the central most part. He could see several red dots surrounding him about fifty meters away. His heart jumped in an instant.

Just what was this situation? As soon as he entered this world, enemies came right at his door!

"Host! We are surrounded!"

Suddenly, the body's heartbeat rose as well. Shane felt the host's anxiety rising to an unprecedented degree as he opened his mouth and asked in a frantic manner, "No way! You're kidding, right? That's absolutely not possible! You're the system! Do something!"

"Do you think I'm a God? Get your a** up and run!" Shane was also worried about his situation as he looked at the radar carefully, "I'll tell you the directions."
