Misty World: Start with SSS skill

[Ding! successfully Confirmed the player's selection.]

[Ding! The "hell" level challenge has begun.]

Immediately after, the space around him changed. Hikaru realized that he was now standing on a vast expanse of grassland.

In his hand appeared a card, on the card there was only one word "Hell".

However, when he looked around, he felt a bit surprised because this place was full of people. Yes, Hikaru thought  that he would be  the only one in this place, however, he was wrong, this place was full of people but he didn't know who these people were.

Hikaru looked around quickly but no one seemed to notice him. Although a few people glanced at him, they quickly left.

Hikaru frowned, while he was confused, someone patted his back. Hikaru could easily dodge because his senses were extremely sharp right now, however, the person behind him didn't seem to have any ill intentions so he stood still.

After patting Hikaru's back, the person wrapped his arms around Hikaru's shoulder as if they were close friends. Hikaru looked at his side and saw that it was a young man with an Asian face, brown hair, black eyes, and a similar height to him.

The young man smiled and talked to Hikaru in a friendly manner as if the two were friends and had known each other for a long time: "Bro, are you new to this place?"

Hikaru glanced at the young man and said, "Yes, and you are…"

"Hehehe… that's right, I am also a player, not only me, everyone here is a player." The young man explained.

When Hikaru heard that he felt extremely surprised, he chose the hell difficulty, so could it be that the players in this place all chose the same difficulty  as him?

The young man seemed to realize that Hikaru was still confused, he smiled and said, "My name is Rahul."

"I'm Hikaru." Hikaru said, he asked: "Are you… an Indian?"

Rahul smiled and replied, "Yes, my mother is Indian, and my father is American. Okay, don't fuss about that, we're all human, our nationality doesn't matter. We're all the same in this world, right?"

Hikaru smiled and nodded. He found this guy interesting. He radiated a very positive energy that made it easier for others to get along with him.

Rahul explained: "Did you level up your territory to level 3?"

Hikaru nodded: "Yes, where is this place?"

Rahul continued: "Everyone here is like you, they have all promoted their territory to level 3, and they are taking on the challenge to have their own class."

Hikaru was a bit surprised, he asked: "How do you know so much information?"

"Hahaha…" Rahul said with a laugh, "Actually I don't know as much as you think. When I came to this place, I was like you, I didn't know anything. Then, we combined everybodies information. Each person gave us a little information. The more information people provided, the more complete the information was after it was summarized."

"This place is a special space, and although I still don't know if this place was created by the system or if this place really exists, however, I think this place is still a place on Misty World."

Hikaru glanced at that and gazed into the distance. Yes, about 1,000 meters away from Hikaru was a wall that was over 3 meters high. The wall stopped the fog from coming inside. Seeing this he thought that perhaps Rahul was right, this place was probably somewhere on Misty World.

Rahul continued, "All players who advance their territory to level 3 can take up the challenge to get their own class."

"However, people also have another option and that is using their luck, the system will give them a random class. But most people don't believe in luck and randomness, so they want to take on the challenge."

Hikaru frowned, maybe because he used the ME skill to level up the territory, he couldn't choose a random class but was forced to participate in the challenge. He didn't say anything but continued to listen to Rahul's explanation.

"Perhaps you chose the class orientation for yourself, right?"

Hikaru thought for a moment and then said, "That's right."

"The class tends to support, right?"

Hikaru nodded.

"Hahaha… don't worry because all the people here are people who have chosen the support-oriented class. Players are divided into different regions depending on their choices. However, I advise you to stay here longer, don't rush into the trial."

Hikaru frowned, he was confused, so he asked, "Why?"

"Haizzz." Rahul sighed: "Because in this place there are many functions that can make you richer. For example, the betting function."

Rahul said as he pointed in the distance, where a screen was floating in the air. The screen showed a player's name and the difficulty of the challenge they had chosen.

Below the player's information were the number of soul points and odds.

Hikaru saw the information board and realized why Rahul said he shouldn't accept the challenge immediately but should stay here longer.

That's right, it's because of betting, it's almost a game that everyone gets excited about. At race houses, why are there so many losers, but only a few people win. Why do they keep betting without ever giving up?

That's because everyone's mentality was to get rich quick without having to work hard. They wanted to bet on their own luck, and they think it's easy.

Back to the present, because after accepting the challenge, whether he wins or loses, he would be forced to leave this dimension, and he would be unable to return to this place again.

Therefore, Rahul advised him to stay here longer. However, he also did not want to stay here for long because the next day was the anniversary of the Dark-Elf Kingdom.

Besides, even though he possessed the ability to see the future, with the Cosmic Insight, he couldn't overuse that skill, the consequences would be terrible.

Hikaru saw that the number of soul point bets for players on the electronic board had reached more than 700,000,000 soul points. The odds were 1 - 7, which means that if you win, you will get 7 times your betting amount.

Who is paying? Of course, the System or perhaps some existence equal to the System. However, the players didn't care about those issues, they only cared about how many soul points they could earn.

At this point, Rahul further explained: "If you win, you can get 10% more of the total soul points you bet."

"That is to say, if a 100 people bet on you, the total number of soulpoints wagered is 100 million soupoints and if you win, they will get 700 million soul points and you will receive 10% of that 700 million soul points."

Rahul gave a very simple example that made Hikaru seem to recognize a money-making opportunity. While thinking, a group of people came over.

This group of people consisted of three young men, however, from their expressions Hikaru knew that these people were not friendly at all.

Rahul saw the three young men in front of him and frowned and said, "Patron, what are you going to do?"

The young man named Patron was standing in the middle, Hikaru guessed that Patron was the leader, and the two young men standing on either side were just Patron's subordinates.

Patron smirked, however, his smile made Hikaru feel a little nauseous. He didn't understand why he remembered Duraxi when he saw his smile, maybe the smirk had become a trend?

Patron laughed as he said, "Rahul, why are you agitated, I just want to help the newbies. Oy! You are new, right? I'm the one with the most experience here, just give me 10,000 soul points, and I can tell you a lot of information."

"Patron, are you crazy?" Rahul angrily shouted: "Just a little basic information, you ask for 10,000 soul points, why don't you go and steal it?"

"Steal? Hahaha… don't exaggerate, that price is too cheap. Hey, newbie, follow me, I promise I can make you rich. Did you see the bet over there? I will Make sure that you earn 100,000 soul points a day, you only need 10,000 soul points."

Patron said as he approached Hikaru. At this time, Rahul stood in front of Hikaru and said: "Don't trust him, there are many people who have been tricked by him, he has killed many other players and taken their possessions."

"Killed other players? Does this place allow murder?" Hikaru frowned and asked. It would have been chaotic if this place allowed you to be killed, but the people in this space seemed to be very law-abiding, as they did not do anything outrageous or used violence.

"No, you can't kill people in this place nor does it condone violent conflicts, but there are a few areas that are out of control, so…" Rahul said, looking at Patron warily.

However, Patron did not care about Rahul, he frowned and said: "Rahul, get out. You should remember that you are alive until now because you are still useful to me, or else you would have disappeared from this world long ago."

Patron now looked towards Hikaru and said, "Oy! Give me all your possessions, and I can let you live. If not…"

Speaking of which, Patron gave off an extremely cold killing intent, even Rahul felt afraid. However, Rahul seemed to have used all his courage to say: "Get out, Patron, he won't come with you."

"Oh~" Patron's face showed disdain: "You are protecting him? Hahahaha… don't make me laugh. Are you going to be a hero and fight for justice? Look at the people around you, Rahul, who will care about you?"

"This world is like that, the strong rule, and the weak must obey the strong. You can protect him now, but you can't always protect him. I have 1,000 methods to kill him, if you don't believe me just wait and I will show you how I Will kill this newbie."

Patron approached, put a hand on Rahul's shoulder and said in a voice as cold as ice: "Don't think that I dare not kill you, you are just a dog. A crossbreed dog of two bloodlines, you're making me nauseous, hybrid dog. You should hate your father and mother as they gave birth to a creature that makes people nauseous. Is your mother a whore who seduces people to get out of that poor country?"
