《The Network》[Chapter 4] Survival
Advertisement
I continued to look at my [Health page] in bewilderment.
Am I going to die? Not because of the explosion. Not by fellow survivors. But because of the freaking air!
"What do I do! What do I d-"
A [Quest] has been initiated!
Thank God!
[Quest]: Survive in the [New world] for 2 days.
[Reward]: Selection between [Sword] [Spear] and [Bow and arrow].
W-what?
How am I supposed to survive for 2 days?
I will be dead in 12 hours!
Okay...okay...I have to calm down.
"...How do I get more [Health]?"
...
"...This isn't worki-
[Health] can be gained by increasing [Vitality]
"Okaay... How do I increase vitality?"
...
...Sigh
[Vitality] can be increased like any other stat. By gaining [Experience]
"How do I Get more [Experience] then!"
I barked through gritted teeth.
...
[Experience] is gained by defeating opponents, completing quests, and other [Restricted] means.
Finally...something I can work with. But now there's another unanswered question.
"[Restricted] huh...maybe I'll find out one day."
"Now... I already have a [Quest] but that is something that can only be achieved after I survive 2 days.
I only have 12 hours.
I don't want to do this but I guess I have to fight... monsters? Other humans? I don't know.
To be honest, It was my childhood dream to fight monsters like a hero...but in real life?... What if I encounter some sort of giant bug monster?
I shiver at the thought.
And to kill other humans is also out of the question; I don't like the sight of blood.
What do I do? This is hopeless.
I sit on a heap of rubble while in deep thought.
At least, I should try on my new [Skill]: [Acute mind]
The moment I think about my [Skill] my vision blurs.

The neurons in my brain multiply.My brain grows and expands,namely my cerebrum and cerebral cortex. Fireworks explode in my head...the sensation is unbearable.
I...I can feel it...
Infinite!
Congratulations! You have reached Maximum Brain Capacity. The effectiveness of [Acute mind] will be affected by your [Intelligence] and the amount of time it can be in use is affected by [Endurance].
I can feel every heartbeat. Every breath! Every muscle! The blood flowing through my veins and arteries!
This is it!

Hoc incredibile dictu!
Due to overuse of [Acute mind], [Health] will be decreased.
[Health] - 0.3 / 2
