《Traum》


 Prologue

    ¡°Going home now, Aron¡±, the guards asked the young man as he walks outside the company building.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Aron replied.


    ¡°Well take care,¡± the guard casually said to Aron in which he responded with a nod.


    Aron always walks toward his apartment. After all it is only a 15 minute walking distance. 15 minutes later, he finally stopped in front of an old apartment.This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it


    Aron walks on the stairs, with every creaking sound as he steps on it. ¡®Sooner, I¡¯ll be able to rent a better apartment,¡¯ Aron sighed as he looks around the building.


    Creak¡­


    The sound of the door slowly opening could be heard as Aron steps inside in the room. He slowly removes his shoes and placed it beside the door. Feeling so tired and sleepy, he forced his way towards the living room and slumps down on the sofa.


    As Aron sleeps soundly, a blinding light fills the entire room. Then silence came and nobody could be found.

 Chapter One

    ¡°Welcome Player.¡±


    An electronic voice woke me up and as I slowly open my eyes, I thought that I woke up in the wrong side of the bed. Everywhere in the room is brightly white. Even the floor. Now I started panicking, because the last time I remember is that I fell asleep in my sofa. So how did I end up here?


    Then out of nowhere a blurry figure pop in front of me.


    ¡°Welcome Player.¡±


    Player? What is happening here? Was I kidnapped and forced to join a prank show?


    ¡°Who are you,¡± I asked.


    ¡°I am an artificial intelligence created by the will of the world to guide new players. You can call me No. 158,¡± the blurry figure answered.


    ¡°Okay. No. 158, what do you mean by player,¡± I continued to ask.


    ¡°Players are people who are summoned to live in the world that you are about to send in.¡±


    Summoned? Send to another world? A lot of things are going through my brain. Still No. 158 continued explaining.


    ¡°You are to be send to Traum, a world where games are the norm. Currently you are in the white space to be able to select your class.¡±


    Then a screen flashed in front me. There are four pictures in the screen. The picture in the farthest left is holding a book. The next picture is holding a rosary. Continuing, the other one is holding nothing, but you can see the muscles bulging out of his shirt. And the last is a picture of a normal person.


    ¡°Things are going too fast. I cannot comprehend what is actually happening here,¡± I explained to No. 158. Though I could get the gist of it, I still couldn¡¯t believe that I am going to another world, changed into a character that looks like picked out of a game. I just hope this is a prank.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry but that is best way for me to explain everything,¡± No. 158 justified himself.


    ¡°Okay. So what would I do,¡± I said resigning to my fate, hoping that after I do everything, No. 158 will just say to me, ¡®Say hi to the camera. This is all just a prank.¡¯


    ¡°First, you will choose your class. What is in front of you is what you would call an interface. That is how new information will appear,¡± No. 158 explained while I continue nodding.


    ¡°First click in one the pictures to see the relevant information about the class that you will choose.¡±


    I did as I was instructed. I first clicked on the picture of the person holding a book. Then the interface changed. The other three pictures are gone then a text of words popped out of the screen.


    <table>


    <tbody>


    <tr>


    <td width="623">


    Bookworm:


    A character that is filled with knowledge. Specialize in deciphering and using knowledge to overwhelm opponents. Has the special stat KNOWLEDGE.


    ¡°Knowledge is Power.¡±


    </td>


    </tr>


    </tbody>


    </table>


    A bookworm for my class eh. With that I am now sure that this is a prank. After all, most games don¡¯t use this kind of class for players to choose from. It is normally a warrior, a mage or a thief. Although I don¡¯t play games too much, I am playing once in a while, so I know my stuff.


    ¡°You could change what you would want to read by swiping your fingers on the screen,¡± No. 158 instructed me.


    I swiped the screen like how I normally swipe with my phone. Next came the other picture.


    <table>


    <tbody>


    <tr>


    <td width="623">


    Devotee:This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.

    ¡°With my faith, you will be free from evil.¡±


    </td>


    </tr>


    </tbody>


    </table>


    What the heck is a devotee? Swiping the screen, the next information came out.


    <table>


    <tbody>


    <tr>


    <td width="623">


    Athlete:


    A character that believes might right. Uses the muscles in his arms to make a place in the world. Increase of 30 HP every level.


    ¡°I will conquer the world, with my body.¡±


    </td>


    </tr>


    </tbody>


    </table>


    And the last picture came after I swiped the screen.


    <table>


    <tbody>


    <tr>


    <td width="623">


    Civilian:


    A character that is your everyday person. Has no specialization but is a jack of all trade. Has no special stat but has the ability to make this class into a sub-class outside the sub-class limit and be able to gain stats and skills.


    ¡°I fight for my rights.¡±


    </td>


    </tr>


    </tbody>


    </table>


    As I am quite sure that this is a prank, I immediately chose the Civilian class. After all, I am just a civilian that was kidnapped just to be pranked. And also based on its definition being able to have two main classes is cool.


    I pressed the confirmation button on the screen and a message popped up saying, ¡°Do you want to choose this class?¡± and I said yes. A light covered me and that was when I realized that this was not a prank at all. I screwed up, should have chosen athlete or bookworm.


    ¡°Congratulation for having your new class,¡± No. 158 congratulated me but I don¡¯t feel exactly happy of what I did there just now.


    ¡°May I change class,¡± I desperately asked No. 158, in my dismay I can¡¯t.


    ¡°So now that you have chosen your class, please say ¡®Status Screen¡¯,¡± No. 158 instructed me.


    ¡°Status Screen.¡±


    Then the interface came again with new texts, just looks like this:

    Oh, this skill are actually quite fitting for a civilian, especially my active skill. Ah, overtime, how I hate that word. But this Tax Policy, this skill gives me a headache now. To think that I have to pay more than a hundred gold just to purchase some things.

    Quite good for a start. I hope that with my meagre amount of gold, yes it is a little because of my Tax Policy skill, would be enough for me to live for a while.


    ¡°The tutorial is done. Please walk towards the door in front of you to go to the next world. Good luck,¡± with those words, No. 158 is gone. In front of me is a door. I walked towards the door and held the door knob, hoping that the other side is just a group of cameraman and an actor that will assure that this is just a prank.


    I opened the door and was disappointed because there is no one there just a black space. With that, I strengthened my will.


    ¡°Let¡¯s do this Aron,¡± I comforted myself and finally stepped inside the space. And it became quite a roller coaster ride.

 Chapter Two

    ¡°Welcome Player to Traum.¡±


    A system prompt sounded in my head. I opened my eyes and saw trees as far as the eye could see. The smell of the forest tickles my nostrils.

    A quest to find a village. So that¡¯s why I am now standing in the middle of nowhere in the middle of a forest. It¡¯s just for this quest. You gotta be kidding me. There is not even a minimap in my interface. How could I possibly find a village?


    Oh well, I better stop complaining and start walking, the earlier I go to a village the better. And with that, I started walking.


    While I was walking I heard a something and stopped. I raised my guard for I know nothing in this world. I looked around and noticed nothing. I guess I am getting paranoid for nothing. I started walking when I hear a noise again. Okay that I am sure now.


    Suddenly the bush just beside me started moving and a rabbit just jumped out of it. I got scared for a moment and started to calm down. It¡¯s just a rabbit what¡¯s there to be afraid about.


    I just took a step when something sharp just passed my face. My face started to sting and when I touched it, it feels wet. When I looked at my hand, there is blood. I am bleeding. That was when I looked back and saw tiny green creatures running towards me.


    When I look clearly they are about half a meter tall and their skin is green and their eyes are red as blood. Goblins. That¡¯s the only creature that looks like that. There are five of them, three holding a club and two that are holding a bow.This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    The three holding a club are running towards me like they want to kill me. The other two are starting to draw their bow. I started running as fast I can, I didn¡¯t even bother to look back. Another arrow whizzed by me, luckily I tripped and the arrow barely missed me. The arrow hit the tree and I could hear a part of it getting ripped apart from the force.


    I still continued running. My breathing starting to get heavy. My legs getting heavier. Why did I choose Civilian as my class, if I chose Athlete running would be a piece of cake. Then a goblin caught up to me. It raised its club and hits me. The club hits back, the pain made me groan and I started to fall. The other two are raising their club.


    By instinct, I raised my hand to block one of their attacks. The clubs hit me. Ahhhh!!! It hurts. I could hear my bones breaking. I have no more power in my hands. I don¡¯t want to die from being beaten to death.


    I started to retaliate, using my fist I punch the goblin¡¯s face. The goblin I hit was stunned for a quite a while and dropped his, which helped me handling the other two.


    I got up and quickly picked up the goblin¡¯s club and with all of my strength, I swung it to the nearest goblin. With it, the goblin was thrown away. Then a system prompt sounded in my head.


    <table>


    <tbody>


    <tr>


    <td width="623">


    You have learned a new skill.


    Bash (LVL 1) (Active Skill) (MP: 15)

    Damage: +15 dmg.


    ¡°Hit it!¡±


    </td>


    </tr>


    </tbody>


    </table>


    A new skill. I tried it out next to the goblin.


    ¡°BASH!¡±


    And I missed. This goblins are faster compared to me. With their small and quick bodies and with their numbers, they beat me up. Then suddenly, an arrow hit my left shoulder.


    ¡°Ughh,¡± I groaned. Then I look at the direction where the arrow came from. ¡®Shoot, the archer has caught up.¡± I tried my best to go away from their encirclement.


    With my random hitting, I finally hit another goblin head which was actually a critical hit. With that hit, I stunned it. I immediately run away. After a while of running, I stopped and prepared to use Bash combined with Labourer¡¯s Rage towards a running goblin.


    ¡°Ahhh¡­,¡± I shouted and luckily I hit the goblin in its chest. It flew away and landed on the ground. The goblin stopped moving. It is dead already. When the other three goblins saw their companion dead, they got enraged and their assults became fiercer.


    New wounds continued to show up in my body. My mind becoming blank, hands numb. Then with another opportunity came upon me, I immediately used Labourer¡¯s Rage towards another goblin. It hit the head. I killed another one. Only two left.


    I am already tired, I just wanna lie down. But I don¡¯t want to die. Still, the other two goblins still want to kill me despite being tired.


    I gathered my strength and charge toward them.


    ¡°AAHHHHH,¡± I shouted and swung the club towards one of the goblins. I hit it but not enough to kill it. Then the other goblin, using its arrow, stab it towards me. I wasn¡¯t able to dodge it and the arrow was stabbed at my stomach.


    ¡°Ughhh¡­,¡± I groaned. Still, I used Labourer¡¯s rage towards the goblin that stabbed me. I made sure that I hit the head so that I could trigger a critical hit. With that being said, I hit the head and killed it. One down and one more to go.


    The both of us face each other. I have no more potions in hand since I already used all of it up. If it wasn¡¯t for those five, I am sure that I¡¯m dead now. As I was catching my breath, the goblin started to charge at me.


    ¡°Kyaaa,¡± it shouted. It raised its club ready and swung it toward my stomach. ¡°Blurghh¡­,¡± blood coming out of my mouth. A system prompt sounded in my mind.

    Finally with a random hit, I was able to trigger a critical hit and was finally able to slay the last goblin. The last goblin fell while I remained standing up, barely. My arms feel heavy, my eyes turning blank, my body cold and the prompt resounding in my head.


    My eyes starts to close, I feel so sleepy. I am starting to faint. This is bad. Am I gonna die? With that last though, my vision turned black. The last thing that I heard is a system prompt that I could not understand.

    I opened my eyes and found out that I am laying on the ground. I tried to stand up but I fell down. My legs still don¡¯t have enough strength. I slowly get up from the ground. When I looked around, I was surprised to see a lot of items scattered around me.

    To actually think that I was able to level up when I fainted. But why did I just level up just when I fainted and not when I was fighting the goblins? I tried thinking and the only reason I could get it that I would just be able to gather experience point if I am out of combat.


    I checked my body and found out that wounds that I suffered is gone. Not even a scratch, especially in the places where I was hit and stabbed by an arrow. But I still feel a little dizzy. Maybe because of too much blood loss.

    I got a lot of items from those four goblins although their quality is quite bad. I look at the club and decided to equip it. The club popped out of nowhere and it was already in my hands. For some reason, I knew that with my mind I could put it back into the inventory and could mentally call it whenever I need it.


    Then I tried equipping the bow and it appeared in my hand. Though I don¡¯t have a quiver to hold my arrows, I could just withdraw it from my inventory. I started to change the bow in my hand to the club.

    Satisfied with my current stats, I finally kept the weapons from hand. I looked over the sky and noticed that the sun is almost setting. ¡®Better find shelter,¡¯ I though and started searching.


    I walked around the forest for a while when noticed that I am back to where I started my search. ¡®Oh no, I am walking in circles,¡± I thought and then I changed direction. Approximately fifteen minutes later, the forest is getting darker and I start hearing wolves howling.


    ¡®This is bad, it¡¯s starting to get dark,¡± I thought. I made haste. Any kind of shelter will do as long I could hide from these monsters. An hour later, I have finally found an empty cave. I went inside and made myself comfortable. I took a piece of bread out of my inventory and eat slowly. It¡¯s already dark but it is bright. I looked to the sky.


    ¡°This is really a fantasy world. No wonder it¡¯s so bright, there are three moons,¡± I exhaled, being mesmerized by what I saw. Then I stood up and walk toward the innermost of the cave and found a place where I could sleep.


    ¡®First day here and I find myself at the brink of death,¡¯ I sighed.


    <hr>


    ¡°Ah! Ah! Get away from me!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t! Stop it!¡±


    ¡°Ughhh¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡­ don¡¯t¡­ want¡­ to¡­¡±


    <hr>


    ¡°Huh,¡± I woke up, breathing heavily. My face sweating a lot. I just had a dream of me being killed by those goblins.


    ¡°Huh, hooh. Huh, hoooh,¡± I breathe in and out slowly, in order to calm my nerves. I stood up and went out of the cave. The sun is up, and I have to find a village now.


    I continued to walk, but with what I experienced yesterday, I walk with my guard up. I don¡¯t want to repeat history. And also I have no more potions, so if I do battle, I¡¯m dead.


    While I was finding a way out of this forest, I could hear some rustling from the bushes. I immediately hide myself and start to prepare myself for a fight. I equipped the club from my inventory and slowly move towards the sound.
