Wake Up And Run

The Chosen One's Part 1

The Chosen One's Part 1

Chapter 5

This time it was not as surprising as the first time, and there was no change in the information; it was the same as the first time, except now he was able to read it slowly and try to understand the meaning of what he saw in front of him. Now, though the last line was different, the information was as follows:

That means since he came to this forest, it's been only six minutes only, though it looked like more than half an hour for him. Thinking to himself, he said, "At least some time has passed, and all I am required to do is survive." The question is, will he be able to do just that? It's not just, "Just survive." How is it that simple? He knew from the beginning that it was not. He recalled the first message of recruitment.

A volunteer is required for a simple experiment.

Time frame: 24 hours.

200 credits as a reward.

Note: If you extend your stay for an extra day, you will receive the same amount as a reward.

He thought, so if running with my life is a simple experiment and nothing seems to be the way it is at moments, the only solution he has is to go forward and see what happens. One thing was obvious to him, and that was to do his best to survive whatever came at him. Now the issue is where to go from here, there were no instructions on the screen in front of him, and the intimidating aura that he felt was real, if that thing, whatever it was, wanted to kill him, he would have been dead already.

Everything around him looks the same; all are tall, huge trees, so he decided just to keep on going forward wherever it takes him, and he has to make a large distance between him and whatever that dangerous thing was. As soon as he started moving, another screen appeared in front of him again, but this one was just an arrow pointing straight. This sudden appearance of the screen didn't shock him this time, even though he didn't slow down his speed, it appears that his wish for direction came through, and at least he has a destination to go to now.

There was nothing for him to hesitate about, so he kept going straight and followed wherever the arrow turned left or right. It didn't take him long to hear the sound of clashing metals, he was unable to know what was going on there or what the sound was that he was hearing, but the arrow was pouring towards there and there was no way to avoid it.

What came to his sight was something that he had never thought about in his short life, he saw two men fighting with something that looked like a sword, and there was a third man standing a short distance from them watching, and two more men laying down on the ground.

All he could do was just stand there. And watch also, regardless of his desire to run away and stay as far as he could from whatever was going on, but unfortunately the arrow was still pointing straight, but instead of blinking like when he was walking now it was steady, which made him understand that he meant to stay here and stand until whatever happened happens. At least he was confident that if the need arises, he can run disregarding the simple in productive instruction, which means the arrow, because that was the only instruction he received so far.

The same voice as before rang in his head once more, but now with another strange piece of information, the voice started in a slow base tone and said the following:

Skill Activated.

Skill Name: Detection

Skill level: 1

Skill Description

The detection skill enables you to detect and receive any relevant information available on any living being or on any items you cast the skill on.

Skill level 1 enables you to cast the skill in a limited area of twenty square meters.

The skill level can be upgraded through practice and continued use, and with each level it goes up, the radios will increase.

Skill casting: all you need to do in order to activate the skill is look at the target and say silently or loudly, "Detect." Then you receive the relevant information about the target. If the information is available.

After the voice ended, the screen appeared once more in front of him, but with more information now that included what he just heard, with a slight difference: this time it was more detailed.
