Survive in the Dark Forest for 24 hours. Sounds simple but it's anything except easy. Dark Forest houses Goblins, Snakes, Kobolds, Spiders and Wolves. All these dwell in groups. The only advantage players had was that these monsters are weakened significantly.
Dark Forest is a part of first floor in tower of Trials. The monsters in tutorial are severely weakened in aspects so newbies won't die easily, but Dark Forest is still a tough land for novices like them who just got their mana. So a weakened version will be given but the cruelty of those monsters didn't dim a bit.
Getting caught will mean you'll die immediately in tutorial but getting caught by them in the tower will be far worse. An unthinkable future awaits those which reminds humans that this isn't a game or novel for everything to go right. This is a reality and no miracles will happen unless they had something to attract the Gods from high floors. The Tower works by the law of jungle. Strongest will rise and weakest will die continuously.
[ Constellations are watching you pathetic beings ]
[ They're searching for anything fun ]
[ Please entertain them ]
' as infuriating as it is, it's true. Compared to constellations who are born with power and grow well, humans are insignificant if they're not strong enough to face the strong ', Damian chuckled.
Bu this time, that bitch must have caught the attention of the demon in Angel's skin, Sandalphone, the constellation name : Bane of Darkness. The weakest seraph in the heaven realm and one who pushed Laura and Michael to build the Eden Guild in future trying to take over the whole earth server.
Unfortunately they underestimated other players and pantheons. Other countries has religions too and some of them have contracts with gods, as a result, Eden will be stuck in the Saphron City under the watch of other guilds after mascarring many players in the name of heretics for possessing skills that goes against the code of their religion like the necromancy, dark sorcery, blood magic, foresight etc.,
But Heaven will convince them to work together and form an alliance. With the emergence of dark players, soon this alliance will also start discriminating against those skills and will hunt players. There was a time when just possessing one of those skills will label you as a dark player.
He won't let that happen. He will kill that bitch and bastard before taking their power to himself. Even if that angel do something to him, with vast gap in their strengths, the law of casuality will prevent him from descending. At most he can launch a curse or severely weakened divine retribution skill once. Then that guy will banned from taking action any further for a long period of time.
For now, it's time to survive and earn some xp and gold.

He chose the dagger immediately. No other reason, anything else will only hinder him for now. Dagger is swift and flexible for use. He can chose the sword but it will hinder if it got stuck in the bodies of those monsters. Especially wolves that will try to bite the incoming sword.
Once it's caught in their jaws, it'll be a distraction and another wolf will strike him. When his agility is a bit higher, he will chose that sword. For now, dagger will enough for him.
As he chose the dagger, a knife half the size of a sword appeared in his hands. Then Damian ran to the forest, yep, he directly ran into the forest without waiting for anyone or anything. He stopped when he heard rustling near the bushes. Damian immediately his behind a tree while arrows are shot one after another.
Goblin archers.
Damian then ran towards the direction of bushes while hiding behind trees. He also looked around vigilantly for any goblin archer on tress. Finding one, he grabbed the rock and attached mana into it before throwing.

The rock enhanced by pierced right through the goblin archer on the tree.

Damian grabbed the nearby rocks too and threw at directions from which sounds appeared. Some of them got hit but none died like the goblin archer on tree. They're maybe injured for now. Perfect for hunting. Damian head tilted to side as an arrow lodged beside his head, then he threw the rock once again to the goblin archer on the trees.
*Splurt*
*Thud*
[ Killed a Goblin Archer Lv 1 ]
[ +10 XP, +5 Gold Coins ]
Damian started running towards the sounds. As for traps, he isn't a novice, he knew perfectly well about those traps and since this is just a tutorial, he can even find them openly everywhere. So soon a masscarre started in the dark forest.

A red glow appeared above his head with the skull mark. The mark of the goblin champion, a special skill only goblin champion or goblin king can use. Once cast, it'll track the target and will always give the location of the person to goblin champion or Goblin King.
