Chapter 22: Second day of the tutorial

The group listened to Lumen's words seriously before all succumbing to their exhaustion and finally getting some rest in their tents. They didn't even have the energy to put someone on watch duty as they were all too tired to sit there and keep a look out for hours on end after what had just happened.

At most, they hoped that the 8 dead bodies littered around the camp would be enough to deter any other people or beasts who took a curiosity in approaching their camp.

They group didn't even have any energy left in them to check their system messages after the slaughter fest ended, as there were quite a lot of them as they would come to realise the next morning.

Lumen was especially too tired to deal with all of that at the moment as all he wanted after everything that happened was to get some much needed rest. He had put in the most effort after all and expended the most energy, both mana and stamina and so nobody questioned when he was the first to enter his survival tent that he had 'found' and immediately entered a deep sleep.

The next day, the second day of the tutorial.

The sun came glaring through the trees as the group slowly awakened to the tweets of birds and the rustling of the bushes and leaves in the wind.

If this weren't a life and death tutorial, this place would be a dream spot for camping enthusiasts.

The group slowly awakened from their sleep, with the wind being the most contributing factor to their early awakening as the leaves that made up their makeshift tents were rustling the loudest.

Very soon, everyone was up and awake, with each one of them taking glances at the scene that had been caused all around their camp the night before.

Lumen was the only one who actively looked at the bodies that had slowly begun to decompose from the inside out, the smell being the most obvious evidence of that fact.

Just like the night before, Qu Quan once again fell victim to the calling of nature and keeled over to a side and once again the contents of her stomach was emptied again.

Whether it was from the stench from the bodies or from the fact that she had contributed to putting these bodies in this situation, only she knew.

The whole group soon joined Lumen in looking at each body, memorising their final expressions as they would likely be etched into their minds indefinitely from this point onward if they failed to adapt to this new reality of theirs.

Lumen took a few steps forward, to the body of the leader as he started feeling the body, looking for anything in the pockets and inspecting the equipment they wore.

"What are you doing Lumen?" Will was the first to speak as he enquired Lumen, both confused and disturbed at what he was doing.

"Looking for anything valuable we should keep. Anything that can help us and increase our chances of survival is what I'm looking for. I'm checking their equipment as well, maybe they had come across some upgrades on their journey over to us."

What Lumen said made sense but the others didn't join him as the idea of looting bodies just felt wrong, and the smell of them as well was the final nail in the coffin stopping them from going near them.

'I wonder if I can somehow access their inventories.... It would be such a shame if all of those useful potions and whatever else they had stored would be lost forever when they die....'

Lumen led his thoughts along obtaining the most benefits from these ambushers as possible and sure enough, when he though about their inventories, he received a system prompt.

[Unlooted dead body found, do you wish to inspect it's inventory?]

Lumen was pleasantly surprised at this system prompt as he didn't expect that he could actually access their inventory after they had died, the prompt also reminded him of the fact that he had a lot of notifications to check out once he was finished with the body.

He without hesitation said yes and soon, a panel of items showed up in front of him.

[Mana potion x6]

[Health potion x5]

[Unidentified beast carcass x2]

[Basic Sword]

[Basic Armour]

The list was short but sweet as he swiped all of the items up, transferring them straight to his inventory.

It seemed that this ragtag group of fiends had not only just attacked them, as just this leader alone had more than the default number of potions given by the tutorial. Presumably he had done the same as Lumen was doing to him now and looted everything he found.

As he saw no more use from the body, he picked it up and walked a few dozen metres into the forest and threw the body against a tree, left to either rot or act as food for some random beast.

He now made sure to check his system messages, and when he did he was very pleased.

[Ding! Killed level 2 F tier human.]

The notifications ended there as he revelled in the feeling of levelling up three times in such a short timespan.

He must have been too doped on adrenaline last night to notice his significant overall increase in his stats as he had received 9 total stat points in every stat, along with 15 unallocated stats.

His proficiency in each of his skills other than heal and identify had also seen major improvements.
