Chapter 4: Not a Time Skip
2 Years have passed ever since i Awakened my blessing. Im 18 years old. Every Awakeners at 18 would finally able to raid a rift. Im on my way to raid one along with Lilith who still didn't know what her Blessing was.
When we asked each other what are blessing was, all she did was point at a plant and the plant started to wither and die. I thought that her Blessing was something related to Curse but the next scene she showed me made me shock to the core.
The withered and dead plant grew back to live and somehow became younger and much more healthier. I think she had two Blessings due to her being able to kill and revive life, but she told me that it was only one.
"Phew. Im nervous." Lilith sighed.
I looked at her in the eyes before smiling at her.
"What?" She looked at me with a confused expression.
I smiled at her and stayed silent. I held her hand as she leaned her head on my shoulders. I closed my eyes and remembered the memories of when i was 16 years of age.

"What the fuck!? Motherfucking gods! How the fuck should i use Space!? Space?!" Cain screamed on top of his lungs.
No one heard his yells and scream because the whole room was silent proofed. His yells became violent as he grab the poor gym equipment and threw it across the room easily.
[Connecting to Tutorial.]
"Huh?" Cain stopped thrashing when he heard a voice inside his head and a window appeared infront of him.
[Connected.]
"???"
Cain tilted his head before getting swallod by a red flame instantly. The place where Cain stood before he disappeared became still, as if time stopped.

[Welcome, Tutorial Player.]
Cain appeared in a black room void of light. A transparent window appeared infront of him, welcoming him just when he appeared.
"Huh!? Where am i!" Cain warily looked around and saw the endless black void of space.
He then looked at the window for a few second with a weird expression on his face.

"Huh? Tutorial?"
Suddenly, the black void like room disappeared and replaced by a giant island that was a few kilometers in size. Cain's eyes became wide open when his surroundings changed.
Trees taller than him, rocks larger in size than him, a flowing river behind him and a volcano on his left. Cain warily looked around before seeing a window infront of hin once again.

"... I have to survive?" Cain narrowed his eyes as he read through the window before looking down to the ground.
He saw his barefooted feet and hurriedly looked at himself. Thankfully, they have a conscience and didn't make him go naked and survive naked in the island.
He then looked around before a cold emotionless voice talked inside his head. A window appeared infront of him once again.

"This is like a game." Cain placed his hand on his chin as he read through his Status Window.
"But unlike most game, i don't have a Level up function. Why is that?" Cain smiled helplessly before looking at the other Commands.
"I know what the [Skill List] do. Inventory should be where i place my things without holding it, right? Store is where i sell the things i get here and buy things from the store? Equipment window is where i can wear equipments and weapons." Cain crossed his arms and continued to talk to himself.
"I can wear 1 helmet and and 1 accessory for my head, 3 for my torso part, 5 for my shoulder and arms, 1 for my wrist and hand, 5 for my fingers, 3 for thigh and legs part, and 2 for feet. I can stack myself with equipments. This will be great."
