Then he felt something tangle around his legs and a cool breeze blowing against his legs. He looked down and noticed that a purple mist had begun forming up from his legs to his upper arms.
Then in another second , he felt everything vanish. His body quivered and he felt his new environment. He tilted his head to see where he was but all he could see was people. Numerous young people of his age and above.
[ Transmigration Completed. ]
[ Welcome to the Waste Land.]
[ Initializing Stats...]
Zakar murmured something he couldn't hear himself. Then he his eyes roamed the vicinity. They were standing on what seemed to be an open field but only that this was extremely large and massive.
In front of them was an outer stage that floated in the air by some sort of magic. Surrounding them were dark rifts that glowed lightly.

Zakar stared at the interface. His name was now Zakar Zolt? In his previous life, he was Zakar Cimpen.
Then he heard footsteps approach from the stage that floated. His eyes drifted up to the stage and he saw two men and a woman approach.
Murmurs began to fill the air and everyone could not help but wonder why they were here.
"Why fuck am I here?"
"What's with this dumb system?"
Zakar stared around in shock. His mind freaked for a second and he was grateful he didn't let lose at the moment.
"So everyone here got a system and was transmigrated? And so if everyone got a system that means I'm not so special like the protagonists of the books I read. So everyone has a cheat system." Zakar muttered faintly to himself.
"You said something?" a big guy with dark grey hair asked in a cold voice. Zakar turned to stare at him.
[ Exterior Stats Initialized ]
[ Name : George Rush ]
[ Rank : B rank ]
[ Class : Void Rift Player ]
[ Type : Fast and Swift ]
'So I can view other people's ranks? That's too bulky.' Zakar thought as he rubbed his hands against his chin.
George looked away, thinking he was just a lunatic. He focused back on the stage.
"System. Change that. I do not want numerous interfaces popping up serially. I would tell when to use them."
[ Understood. ]
[ Exterior Interface Locked (Temporary)]
"It is with great hearts that we welcome everyone to the Waste Land. " one of the men said aloud. He had a rough dark brown hair and his eyes were lit with a dark energy.
"I am Terry for short. I am one of your Guides. You may want to ask what Guides are. Guides are here to guide you through this game."
"I would now give a brief orientation of this world."
"The Waste Land has been in existence for several millenia. It is in this world that those who could not make it to heaven get a second chance. In other words this is your purgatory. "
His words fell in sharp and direct. Murmurs began to fly in from every direction. Zakar kept mute. He didn't believe in purgatory and as such wasn't fazed by the statement.
"Yes. Those who make it here have to strive to clear this world for as the Paradise God wants." Terry said and tilted his head to look at the lady standing behind him.
"That's when you all fit in. If you want to make it out of here, you have to survive and to survive you have to fight against these beasts. Different creatures reside here —"
" Why did God create these creatures and now want us to clean it?" a short ree haired guy questioned loudly.
Terry smiled like he had always heard these kind of questions. In reality he had always heard it but he didn't have a full answer to that.
"Well, I can say that God wanted to use these creatures to end the universe but decided not to. As for why we are to clean up the mess? This is his way of justifying us to return to heaven and clearing up this mess at once."
Zakar stared at him confused. He hadn't answered the question and had smartly dodged the question. Zakar didn't want to create an attention. He was still new and as such he did not want to be a visible target.
"We are your Guides and as such, we are your direct referees or should I say helpers. We would clarify situations and give missions." Terry said calmly.
Then the female Guide walked up. Everyone stared at her in amazement. Her beauty was extremely tempting. She walked gracefully like she knew that all the males were stealing glances at her.
"You will soon be on your first mission and you have been grouped into fours. There are one thousand three hundred and six teams in this field. Presently you all are five thousand two hundred and twenty four ."
Everyone stared stared her in shock. The sum was extremely large and deadly. A whole five thousand competing in a game. That sum was extreme.
"Your system will assign you to your team and thereafter, your mission will be stated. Any questions?" she said coldly.
"What's your name? We can't possibly be referring to you as lady Guide."
She chuckled lightly and then stopped sharply.
"My name? That would not be necessary. Until you are able to survive ten missions, that's when I do disclose my name. It would be a waste telling you all here when I know fully well that not all of will be alive after a few missions."
Zakar's eyes widened in shock. Her words could only speak one thing— They would have numerous missions. And not just that. They would be given deadly.
"This world haw a lot to explore. Thanks to the fact that I have powerful system, I can explore to the very last. Let the game begin." Zakar muttered to himself.
