The Place Where Everything Begins

Upon seeing such a familiar scene that he had seen not long before coming into this place, Jeremy exclaimed inwardly in amazement,

'Oh?'

Then he thought to himself,

'It's because the System is responsible for the function of monitoring; that's why I don't feel anyone observing me at all while I was still within the chamber...'

'Hmm... That also means the guy, Xildas, only knows that I have passed the three doors, but he doesn't know how I had passed it specifically. Also, the only two times he saw me casting spells should be when I made everyone lose consciousness, and another time should be when I cast the mana bolt towards the forsaker...'

'Either way, the cupid will be able to view the playback and know about me in no time...'

Upon finishing his thought with a slight frown, Jeremy exited the monitor option and accessed the last option, [Teleport].

...

[Teleport]

- Second Stage (Human Camp)

- Rekonia Academy (Mage Tower)

- Reswia Kingdom (Main Crystal)

...

After seeing the three options before him, Jeremy's eyes shone up with a cold glint as all his dilemmas suddenly disappeared into thin air.

It's because Jeremy had finally found the critical variation to solve all the remaining equations within his plan, making it become an impeccable, flawless one.

'If the man, Xildas, told me the truth, then the second stage's Crystal should also have the same options.'

'Then... Let's do that...'

'If so... the second stage will be pretty interesting...'

Jeremy finished his thoughts with a mysterious smile as if he was planning something mischievous again.

Afterward, Jeremy retracted his hand and walked towards the dark passageway, the different one from when he first entered the spacious chamber.

Jeremy wanted to know where the passageway's destination was...

He wanted to check if this passageway would lead to the main tutorial chamber as Xildas had told him or not.

Furthermore, Jeremy also had some business to be dealt with within the main tutorial chamber for the sake of his flawless plan.

A few minutes later...

While walking inside the passageway, Jeremy suddenly thought of something,

'Now that, come to think about it, I've already finished all tutorial missions...'

'Status Window'

Jeremy commanded inwardly to open his Status Window...

Mission:

- Tutorial Mission: Survive I

...

Upon seeing his own status window, Jeremy thought ponderingly to himself,

'Let's see... I have more than thirteen skills in my arsenal, whereas most skills are combat-related ones, and three of them are active skills. Also, more than half of them are pretty much upgraded latently to higher levels than low-basic grade.'

'However, when compared to my past life, they pretty much lack in many areas; especially, in the area of magic-related one. Also, from now on, the chance of getting more skills like in the tutorial's first stage won't come again until I join the War of the Worlds...'

'Another matter...'

'If my new plan unfolds in the right direction, without going haywire down the drain, it looks like I will be able to advance to become a True Mage very soon.'

'I wonder what those guys' reactions will be after seeing my universe-shattering titles... Hehehe.' Jeremy chuckled lightly,

'Anyway, priority first...'

After finishing his thoughts, Jeremy used his mind scrolling the interface down to the last section.

Without further delay, after seeing the 'Mission' section, Jeremy accessed the 'Tutorial Mission: Survive I' to see its contents.

Simultaneously, an interface stating about his rewards suddenly showed up...

...

『 You have received 2x★ for successfully surviving 10 monster hordes 』

『 You have received 5x★ for successfully killing a no-named foot soldier of Noir Keista 』

『 You have received 1x✰ for successfully killing Xildas Lichtenburg 』

...

『 Tutorial Mission: Survive I』

⎯ Survive until only 15 people remain (★) (Completed)

⎯ Survive 10 monster hordes (★★) (Completed)

⎯ Complete 4 missions from the Survival Crystal (★★★) (Completed)

⎯ Find and use a secret teleportation circle (★★★★)

⎯ Kill a no-named foot soldier of Noir Keista (★★★★★) (Completed)

⎯ Kill the superviser of the tutorial zone 82,364, Xildas Lichtenburg (✰) (Completed)

『 After finishing one of the tutorial missions, you can choose to be teleported into the next stage.』

...

After seeing his rewards and the current progress of the tutorial missions, Jeremy thought ponderingly to himself,

'My rewards are not bad at all... Also, I should request for a 'special access' for my plan to work out. However, that should be when I arrive at the dark space where the System concludes my first stage's overall reward. Like that, the cupid will not see and know about my actions.'

'And... I haven't passed the fourth tutorial mission as of yet...'

'Anyway, I cannot just let go of four precious black stars. So, it looks like I still need to use the teleportation circle, huh. Where will it lead me to?'

Shaking his slightly to discard the thoughts, Jeremy continued walking inside the passageway...
