<h4>Chapter 2: [Quests!]</h4>
There was a smile on my face. I couldn''t keep my eyes off of the blue screen for an entire minute before I finally calmed myself down. Shaking my head, I tried recalling what exactly was going on.
"Did I reincarnate in a game? Or is it part of an experiment or something?"
This one felt too realistic for a game.
Though what was I doing beforeing here?
''...''
Even after trying for another minute, I still couldn''t recall what I was doing beforeing here. My memories…. they were nk.
''What was my name?''
"Adam… Adam Wesker," I spoke with a sigh of relief as I could barely recall my name.
Not being able to remember your origin is a suffocating feeling.
"So. What''s next?"
Once again, I looked at the [System] screen. Scrolling down through it, I reached the [Quest] area.

"Seems simple enough… ?" I muttered as I turned around and began walking as far away from the caravan as I could. Since the bandits were going toe and kill me again, if I''m near the caravan, anyway, running away was the best choice.
Things went well as I kept walking for another 30 minutes. Though…
-Thap! Thap! Thap!
I turned around, only to find the bandits chasing me at a rapid speed.
"Are you kidding me?" I muttered as I looked at the leader reaching rather close to me and…
-sh!
[You Have Died!]
[Game Over!]
[Restarting from Last Save Point!]
[Error! No Save Point Found!]
[Restarting from Start!]
Hot.
"Let''s have 3 points in Dexterity and 2 in Constitution," I decided to add some speed to my running this time. As long as I run away, it''s fine.
A fresh aroma spread around my body as soon as I increased my dexterity. I felt like I could run a marathon right now and still won''t feel tired.
And when I increased my Constitution, my body felt far more vital than before. As if I had been finally set free from a disease I had been suffering from for ages.
I didn''t realize it but I was already getting ustomed to this game like word.
"This fucking heat is still too much. I am so taking a bath right after this," I vowed as I began walking away from here once again. This time I ran as fast as I could, but my weak body was getting tired a bit easily.
And after running for another 30 minutes, I turned around to make sure there was no one following me.
"Phew!" I sighed in relief as I saw that no one was behind me this time. And once again, I began walking away without wasting much time.
Though after traveling for another 15 minutes…
-ROARRRR!!!!
A giant basilisk. That''s the closest description of the monster which I encountered in front of me.
"Are you kidding me?" I said as I fell on the sand. My legs were weakened after running for the entire 45 minutes.
The basilisk ran towards me at a rapid speed before it took a crunch at my body.
"Huh?!"
A sharp pain entered my neck as I felt my body being torn apart from my torso. To say it was painful would be an understatement…
[You Have Died!]
[Game Over!]
[Restarting from Last Save Point!]
[Error! No Save Point Found!]
[Restarting from Start!]
-Thud!
This time, I fell on my knees as I held my neck with my hand. The feeling of the basilisk''s teeth embedded into your neck was worse… the feeling of my body torn apart was…
I sat there for a few minutes, as I still couldn''t shake that feeling away. While those bandits killed me in one sweep, that monster… it didn''t kill me swiftly. I could still feel the moments before my death.
Time passed as I was still in my thoughts before I saw the banditsing closer to me…
''So. What to do this time?'' I questioned myself.
Should I let myself be killed and try again? Or should I get up and fight against those bandits?
"Let''s not waste this time," I muttered as I collected my fear instilled self. Standing up slowly as I looked at those bandits, I questioned how would I fight them without a weapon?
[Strength: 5 -> 10!]
By maximizing my strength? Well. We can try that.
[You have unlocked the Basic Skill: Super Strength!]
[Super Strength(Common)!]
