The Place Where Everything Begins

All of a sudden, about 10,000 people appeared out of thin air within a white space looking similar to Jeremy's sea of consciousness before he had adjusted its interior design. Except for that, this white space had a footing that looked like a marbled floor.

This white space would later be called the 'Tutorial Space'.

Within the white space floored with solid white marble-like materials, Jeremy was one of the people being transported here.

The experience of going through dimensional teleportation for the first time was something but euphoria. The aftermath of a dimensional shock was not something to be reckoned with.

There would always be small and big side effects to the ones being transported. There was also no exception for the former space sage who led humanity to fight countless wars against other races.

First, Jeremy felt dizzy, like the world had spun around him. Later, he felt nauseous and sick. But that was it; the feeling came fast and went away even quicker within a few seconds.

He then took a look around to see other people around him. He knew exactly about the total amount of people here; it was precisely 10,000 people being teleported here.

Currently, he was not sure if he was in the same zone number as the last time or not.

'If I don't remember wrong. Last time, I was teleported into zone 82,364, and the survival rate was approximately 7%.' Jeremy thought while looking around to see if there were any acquaintances from his previous life or not.

However...

*Blarghhh*

*Blurghh*

*Huu-ukkk*

The sounds of retching and gagging interrupted his actions of searching for people.

Jeremy frowned a bit at those retching and vomiting sounds occurring from all around him. Not only the sounds, but some people even spilled out their meals for real.

'What a disgusting sight to behold.'

Jeremy thought distastefully and tried to stay away from those who were puking their guts out.

Well, he had totally forgotten that his first time being transported here like this, he was also like those around him.

The only difference between this time and that time was that he had a perk called a 'former space sage'. It had made him adapted to the dimensional shock faster than anyone.

After the people had finished vomiting, they then realized that they were in a completely different place from the previous moment.

So, they started to panic and tried looking around to find some clues about the current situations, but to no avail, they only realized that those people around them also knew nothing like them.

That made the situations became much more confusing and chaotic.

*Sob* *Sob*

*Boohoo* *Sob* *Sob*

"Where the heck am I. What the f*ck!!"

*Sob* *Boohoo* *Boohoo*

"Mommy... Where are you..."

*Sob* *Sob* *Sob*

"What!? How can I be here?"

"Why are the surroundings all-white!? Anyone knows??"

It made things even worse when there were the sounds of crying children resonating from here and there. After that, there were chain reactions from all over the place.

Some people also started crying, shouting, and panicking like they were imitating those people around them.

That made the situation turned to the worst case possible. Some people were even arguing with one another, trying to vent their frustrations.

'It seems like everything will be the same then... these situations... then the cupid comes...'

Jeremy was thinking to himself while spectating the situations before a cute and small voice of someone interrupted him and those depressed people...

"Ahemm.. Ahemm.. Listen here, everyone."

It was a voice that originated from someone, but strange enough, everyone present there had heard the voice without any exception. It was like the sounds were actually transmitted directly into their mind.

That caused everyone except Jeremy to start looking around to find the source of the sounds, but they still found nothing.

Until the sounds came once again, but only this time, it was filled with a hint of annoyance.

"I'm here, you idiots! Look above your head!"

Thus, hearing that, everyone looked above their head...

There, they spotted a boy of around 4 or 5 years old with a pair of white wings stuck on his back. He was wearing only white pampers covering his lower half as a cloth.

Right now, the boy cupid was folding his hands around his chest and looking at the people standing below him amusingly like he was looking at a group of clowns.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Everyone fell in silent after spotting that ridiculous sight in front of them.

Only after a bit of time had passed before there was a voice of someone coming from the group.

"Wow!! Cupid.. That is a cupid."

It was the sounds of a girl of about ten years of age.

"Right, right, that is a cupid. He is even flying. Hahaha, so, this is some sort of a TV show, right?"

This time, a middle-aged man said hurriedly after finding that the situations were more understandable now.

After some time passed, more and more people started to agree with those opinions. They were ready to accept the situation as a TV show, but they actually forgot something crucial.

That was...

How were there so many people gathering here at the same time without anyone realizing anything?

Still, some people who had already realized that fact started to laugh and pacify themselves that there was nothing serious about this.

But not long after, they had to stop their laugh and merry as they suddenly felt the chilling air around them. It made them started sweating buckets.

Wait...

How could they even sweat from the chilling air?

Currently, it was pretty contradicting by itself. However, they still knew instinctively that the chilling air was clearly emitted from that floating cupid.

As a result, everyone except for one person was sweating profusely. It was like they had just finished their heavy exercising.

After sweating for a while, they suddenly shook, their body was trembling continuously.

They didn't even know why they were shaking; they just couldn't control their bodies. While some people even dropped down to the ground then twitched nonstop, some people's mouths were foaming, and some people were crying and calling for their parents.

After some time, the floating cupid snapped his finger.

*Snap*

Pu!! x 86

There were suddenly 'Pu' sounds occurring from all over the place.

At the same time, accompanying the sounds, the heads of those people who smiled and laughed just a moment ago, had exploded resulting in grey mass, white mass, and bloody reddish spray to spatter everywhere.

Everyone fell in silence once again, but this time it was from the sheer shock of seeing heads exploding, blood spattering, and brain mass flying from many headless standing corpses.

Not long after, those people who had experienced the horror first-hand suddenly felt panic and fear

It was a fear of the thing they had never experienced before...

It was too cruel for them.

*Thud*

*Thud*

*Thump*

Not long after, the headless bodies started to drop down onto the ground with the acceleration force of gravity.

And those thud and thump sounds were the catalysts that amplified everyone's fears.

That caused some of them to start crying, some already peed themselves, and some even vomited again, causing the original unpleasant odor from the surroundings to become much more unendurable.

The stinking smell was spreading to the entire place very quickly.

But soon, they suddenly felt that cold and chilling air was coming at them once again.

At this time, no matter how panic or fear they had experienced from the previous bloody event, they must stop crying and cease vomiting, for they felt that if they didn't stop now, they would surely be the next headless corpse lying on the ground.

It was to stop now, or never...

Nobody wanted that terrifying event to happen to themselves, for the human two main instinctive fears were, after all, the fear of death and the fear of the unknown.

They looked at the cupid tremblingly and fearfully, waiting for the following words from it. Right now, they could only hope that it would not snap its fingers again. After all, they didn't want to be the next person to become 'Pu', a headless corpse.

But right now, Jeremy was acting differently than those people...

Currently, he was frowning very deeply. He thought that he might have a slight chance to sneak attack and successfully kill the cupid after he had reached the stage of Journeyman Mage.

But it was proved that he couldn't be more wrong with that mindset...

'From the aura pressure, killing intent, together with laws manipulation... d*amn it, his battle prowess was equal to a frickin' class 4 at the least. I hope that he was careless enough not to waste his energy to cast a detecting spell. Or else, I'd be doomed for real.'

Jeremy was thinking worriedly about his dear life.

At this moment, he didn't even dare to probe the cupid or dare to let out a single ounce of mana from his body. He even went as long as to stop the mana attractions of his dantians forcefully.

Fortunately enough, he had been managing his mana circulations even before coming into the tutorial space.

If the cupid didn't cast a spell to probe him specifically, he would be alright.

*Sigh*

'So, stick to the main plan then...'

Jeremy sighed and thought to himself.
