Chapter 3 - event

Because of what Kaen did, he was attacked by three gangsters.

"How dare you do that!!"

But Kaen remained silent and easily dodged the gangster's punch.

As soon as he avoided the attack, Kaen grabbed the gangster's arm and broke it.

Because of what Kaen did, the gangster screamed in pain.

Kaen immediately punched the gangster in the mouth.

"You're too noisy."

Because of that, the two remaining gangsters stepped back in fear.

When the gangsters realized that they were already causing trouble inside the school, they immediately ran away.

Kaen silently watched the gangsters as they fled.

After they left, Kaen calmly returned to his seat.

However, Kaen could still feel his classmates staring at him.

Even so, Kaen remained indifferent.

A few hours later, Kaen was walking back to his dormitory.

"Tch, this day is so boring."

Suddenly, Kaen felt his phone vibrate, so he took it out and looked at it.

Kaen was surprised when he saw that the system was displaying an ongoing event.

Events:

A portal from another world has accidentally opened.

Do you want to participate?

[Y/N]

When Kaen saw this, he immediately pressed "Y".

Suddenly, Kaen felt time stop.

The surroundings were no longer moving—people, cars, animals—everything was frozen except him.

Kaen noticed that all the people around him suddenly disappeared.

System:

The event has begun.

[PvP]

Players will fight each other.

When Kaen saw this, he was shocked.

Because of that, Kaen immediately summoned his shield and sword.

"Damn it… This was really just an accident. I didn't know the event would be like this."

Suddenly, Kaen felt someone behind him.

He immediately turned around and was shocked when someone attacked him.

However, the attack was instantly blocked by Kaen's shield.

When Kaen looked at who attacked him, he was stunned.

"Alden??"

But Alden remained silent.

Kaen was shocked when he saw Alden release countless fireballs.

"Die, Kaen."

Alden released his attack toward Kaen.

When Kaen saw this, he used his shield to block the attack.

Kaen was extremely annoyed.

"Do you really think you can beat me with something like that?"

Alden was shocked when Kaen suddenly threw something at him.

"Damn it!! A grenade!"

Because of that, Alden immediately used his mana to defend himself.

Alden survived the explosion, but he noticed that Kaen had disappeared.

Meanwhile, Kaen continued running.

"In my current state, I still can't defeat him."

Kaen checked the system.

System:

You must wait 11 hours before leaving the event.

Kaen sighed.

"Okay… I need to survive in this place first."

"My power level is still too low, and I don't have enough abilities to compete with them."

Kaen entered a supermarket he came across.

As soon as he entered, he noticed how quiet the place was.

Suddenly, Kaen heard something.

He immediately gripped his shield tightly.

Slowly, he followed the sound.

Eventually, Kaen saw a frightened woman staring at her cellphone.

Seeing this, Kaen became serious.

He slowly approached the terrified woman.

"He… Hello?"

The woman was startled by Kaen's voice.

She stepped back and immediately pointed her sword at Kaen.

"W-Who are you?.. Don't come any closer!!"

Kaen sighed.

"Calm down. I'm not a bad person."

Suddenly, Kaen's phone rang.

He took it out and looked at it, then Kaen froze in shock.

System:

Kill the player in front of you.

[0/1]

Name: Lena Weiss

Reward: 15 points

Penalty if failed: -26 points

When Kaen saw this, he was stunned.

Kaen looked at Lena, who was slowly becoming more comfortable around him.

Kaen became serious.

"I take back what I said. Be careful."

Lena was confused.

"I be careful? Didn't you say you were a good person?"

Lena smiled.

"And I can see that you're also a student. If we work together, we can survive this place."

But Kaen became even more serious after hearing that.

"Aren't you afraid that I might just be deceiving you?"

Lena was startled.

"Why? What do you mean…"

Lena smiled again.

"I'm a doctor, so I can help you with whatever happens to you."

While Lena was talking, Kaen noticed something invisible behind her.

Kaen was shocked.

"Get away from there!!"

Lena was startled when a dagger suddenly stabbed her.

She turned around and saw a man smiling.

Blood flowed from Lena's body.

"P-Please… Don't kill me… I still have a child…"

The man only smiled.

"Hahaha, there is no mercy in the world of Arkayd."

He pulled the dagger out of Lena's body.

After confirming that Lena was dead, the man picked up her cellphone.

"Hehe, looks like I'll get a lot of points from this."

The man was shocked when he felt Kaen attacking him.

Because of Kaen's speed, the man couldn't dodge.

Kaen successfully stabbed the man in the neck.

Kaen showed no emotion.

"Idiot. Did you forget that there was another player in front of you?"

After the deaths of the man and Lena, Kaen's system rang.

System:

Mission completed.

Two players have died.

You have obtained:

30 points

Kaen sighed and looked at the man.

"He must have had a skill, since he was able to become invisible."

Kaen stole the man's system and Kaen obtained 23 points and the Invisibility skill.

and after kaen stole the man's system, kaen moved to lena's system, to steal it too

He obtained 14 points and the Healing skill.

When Kaen saw the Healing skill, he smiled.

"I expected this from a doctor."

Kaen sighed.

" I didn't expect human nature to be like this, but I understand it. Kindness is weakness in the world of Arkayd."

Kaen looked at his phone and saw that there were still 10 hours left in the event.

"Damn it, I really regret entering this event."

Kaen remembered Lena.

"She was probably also a player who became a victim of being a beginner and not knowing anything."

Kaen looked around.

"Hm… Can I take all the food here?"

Kaen felt hungry.

"Tch… There's no point thinking about that. I need to survive first."

Using the points he obtained, Kaen purchased a Level 2 Inventory.

System:

Purchase successful.

Kaen checked his remaining points.

"Hm… Not bad."

He saw that he still had 29 points.

Kaen picked up the man's dagger.

He noticed that it was a Level 3 dagger.

Kaen was delighted.

"I didn't expect to get a Level 3 weapon."

Kaen checked the Invisibility skill and tried using it.

He felt his body slowly disappear.

However, he noticed that the invisibility only lasted for 30 seconds, with a 1-minute cooldown.

Kaen smiled.

"Hm… It's still useful, even if I can only use it for 30 seconds."

Kaen looked around.

"I'll probably hide here until the Arkayd event ends."

Kaen grabbed a basket and took all the food he needed.

Several hours later, Kaen finished gathering supplies.

"My next move is to find a safe place."

Kaen went up to the third floor of the supermarket.

He saw many shops around, but everything was silent.

A thought came to Kaen's mind.

"Hm… Maybe I should try…"

Kaen grabbed various items and placed them into the basket.

He took things like cellphones, laptops, and many others.

Kaen was very happy.

"Hehe... I won't waste this opportunity"

After finishing everything, Kaen sat down and ate.

Several hours later, Kaen checked his phone.

There was only 1 hour left before the event ended.

Kaen immediately stood up.

"I need to leave the mall. It'll be dangerous if the event ends and people return while I'm holding all these items."

Kaen left the supermarket.

Outside, everything was extremely quiet.

"Hm… The players must have already finished fighting."

Kaen began walking quietly.

"I need to hurry back to my dormitory."

System:

Event ends in: 20 minutes

When Kaen saw this, he rushed even faster.

A few minutes later, Kaen sighed when he arrived in front of his dormitory.

"Sigh…"

Suddenly, Kaen heard footsteps to his right.

He turned and was shocked to see a stunningly beautiful woman.

Behind her were two men who looked like her bodyguards.

Kaen was shocked when his phone rang.

System:

A player with a power level of 5,000,000 has been detected.

Kaen was stunned.

"5 MILLION?? SERIOUSLY??"

Then the system displayed another message.

System:

You must kill the players in front of you: [0/3]

Success: 10,000,000 points

Failure: -1,000,000 points

When Kaen saw this, he was furious.

"Damn it… If I fight them, I'll die. But if I fail, I'll also die because my points will be wiped out."
