Fool's Sanctuary

Me, a poacher?

When I woke up, I was lying inside a cave. My head hurts from what happened. That administrator did not even explain the rules in this world properly. It should be like that because every game that I played and shows that I watched have something like that. I tried to stand up but I am really feeling dizzy so I decided to lie down to rest. I can feel the cold breeze around me, the moist cave floor. To think that my soul will be transferred to the game that everyone wanted to play, it sounds absurd. 

I am just worried about my family. What would be their reaction if they found out that I am already dead? Dying over a silly game.

Ding!

A notification popped up in the status bar. 

“Welcome to The Sanctuary. For starters, please head to the nearest town so that you will know what your destiny is.”

My destiny? I already know my destiny. Well, of course I am dead already and there is no way things will return back to normal. I swiped the status window and checked my own status.

Why is everything blank? And for the class, from the beta testing, you can select it at the beginning as soon as you dived into the game. There were a lot of things that needed to be explained, but the administrator was like, you go find it on your own. It makes sense though, since this has the adventure genre, you need to explore until you find things. 

I decided to stand up and check on the surroundings. The cave seems pretty normal. Usually, in games like this, the cave overflows with low level creatures. But here, there is nothing. I checked my inventory and there was something useful, or maybe a blade but there was nothing. It’s just a book and a seed. What if monsters suddenly attack me here? Are they going to let me experience death the second time around? 

Whatever, I just have to run. I began to walk and followed the path that was visible avoiding the places that are not well lit. It was a surprise that a cave has its own illumination. Well, this is a fantasy world, so nothing is impossible. After an hour of walking and taking turns, I arrived at the entrance of the cave.

“Who’s there?’” A man said holding a spear, surprised seeing me going out of the cave. 

“Uhh… I should be the one asking you? Who are you guys?” I asked. I looked around and there were several men holding weapons, and they were wearing the same outfits. Are they soldiers?

“What are you doing inside the cave? It’s off limits. How did you get in there? Are you a poacher?” The other man said and pointed the spear at him. 

Kon answered and raised his hand. “ No, I am not. I just happened to be in some sort of accident and woke up inside the cave.” 

The group of men laughed at him. 

“Who would believe that? Guys, catch him.” The other man ordered. 

What? I was just out of the cave and now, I turned into a criminal? This is a mess.
