welcome to chimera
After a bright flash of light a massive square filled male and female teens is revealed. As Zack observes his surroundings he notices that the outskirts of the area is covered in a thick mist.
A couple minutes after his arrival the midst stirs in four different areas, to which four beings walks out of it. They appeared humanoid but then again also like a mash up of different animals.
The first one looked like a female but her hair was composed of snakes, her mid section was full of feathers along with her arms which resembled wings and her hands were clawed. Her lower half of her body was furry with feet that resembles a cheetah and had a scorpion tail. Besides all that she was dressed like the character from t**** raider game character with a white tank top and khaki colored shorts that showed off her figure and a pair of sunglasses.
The next person was a big bulky guy with bull horns, his upper half was hairy like a gorilla but with four arms. His lower half looked like a kangaroo's but his tail was an actual kobra. All he had on was a pair of blue pants with a belt and what looked like leather straps in an x on his upper body.
The third person was a slender woman with a head like a hawk, her upper body was like a bat's including her arms which resembled spider like bat wings with blades at the end. Her lower half was actually that of a snakes but with a scicle like blade at the end.she wore a armored breastplate plate armored the upper body and a skirt that was also made out of armor.
The final person was a man with a head like a spider's including eight eyes, his upper body was scaled with dragon like claws for hands. His lower body was that of a horse with eagle talons on the front two legs, lion paws on the back two and a pair of giant wings. He wore an armored vest, armored shin guards on all four legs and an armored crupper with flashcards on the horse body.
Their Apperance caused everyone to start talking about them as it got loud the bulky guy yelled for everyone to be quite. What caused everyone to quite up wasn't the fact that his voice was so booming and loud but the fact that there was an invisible force pushing down on everyone.
Thank you Kane, says the woman with snakes for hair as she steps forward. Hello everyone my name is Marideth but you can call me teacher Mary, Welcome to world of chimera. As you know at the age of fifteen you develop what's known as a soul stone, in order to develop it and walk the path of cultivation you are sent through a portal from your home on the blue star to here. Every six months at least two hundred thousand teens comes to Chimera and are split across ten different locations.
You will now be going through your week long awakening trial, for seven days you will have to survive in the wilderness in order to awaken your soul seed. Now it is dangerous but not as much there should be nothing stronger than level 6 origin realm out there.If your lucky it may take only a day to awaken or it may take all seven days, don't worry you will not be empty handed.
Our coworkers will be handing all of you some basic supplies, a halowatch, a knife and you'll be allowed to select two weapons. Your basic supplies will consist two space bags one of which will have two changes of clothes,basic first aid items, a bottle of antidote pills, a bottle of healing pills, a flint and steel, two cantines, and a couple days worth of food.
The halowatch will have a map of the area including where we will gather on day seven and where the danger areas are, there is also a basic magic beast catalog with a detailed dismantling guide for each creature. Make sure you read this so you can plan and know what parts to save to sell.
Soon a person in uniform stops in front of Zack and hands him two drawstring pouches with a belt clip and a halo watch. The halo watches look like a smart watch except everything is display on a transparent screen in the air above it, you even operate it on that screen.
As Zack attaches the watch on his arm a group of lights like fireflies appear in front of his eyes.
Instalation complete, congratulations host on activation of chimera path system. Please say status in your mind to begin.
Right after the fireflies rearrange and lists his stats.

Zack stands there in utter shock at the facts that he can even see people's levels and paths, he was so distracted with that that he didn't even notice that it was time to choose weapons. One of the uniformed people from earlier taps him on the shoulder and pulls Zack back to reality breaking his dazed state.
Excuse me young man you might want to go grab your weapons, hearing him say that Zack thanks him and runs off to choose his weapons. On the edge of the area are racks filled with different types of cold steel weapons, wasting no time Zack grabs a longsword that he fastens on his belt and a spear.
Once every one was geared up and ready they were told that they could either work in groups up to four or be solo. People started grouping up and head out of the square in the direction of the side of the square that was marked, deciding on doing it solo Zack went on his way.
After exciting the mist all that can be seen is a vast thick forest filled with plentiful colors, Zack quickly checks the map to determine which way he wants to go.
Examining the map he see's what looks like a river in northeast direction of his location, wasting no time he sets off towards it hoping that he can make it before it gets dark.
While making his way around the forest zak notices how plentiful it is, this forest is littered with all types of plants, herbs and fruits. Not wanting to digest anything harmful or poisonous, taking his time examining them the fireflies return and tells him whats poisonous and whats not. Feeling like this system is reading his thoughts he begin to wonder what these plants and fruits are called, surprisingly the fireflies changed and included the names. Excited about this discovery Zack feels that making it through this survival exam is going to be a breeze.
Making his way through forest collecting edible fruits and herbs he could use to cook with he finally encounters some magic beasts. After plucking a yellow fruit the size of an apple, it was a fruit called morning glory and it was surrounded by a group of five walking plants that resembles daisy's.
Feeling a hazy like pricked in his mind Zack jumps to his left, a second after he moves a vibrant green root bursts out of the ground right where he was standing before. Utilizing the adrenaline from this deathly scare Zack immediately starts to attack, thrusting his spear to his left he catches one of them in the stalk. Drawing back the spear Zack realizes that the stalk of the beast starts to heal, without wasting time on trying to figure out why that happened Zack turns and slashes the spear to his right.
The spear slices through the flowery head of one of them, the blade slices cleanly through and causes big half to fall to the ground. Seeing that the beast did not get back up or start to heal, Zack wonders if only the head is it's weakness or his first attack was in the wrong spot.
Wanting to test out his thoughts Zack begins saying to himself "if only I was faster". As if right on que the system says in his mind, "Stag's boost now activated" followed by a feeling as if he became lighter. Zack moves and positions himself in front of two of these flowery magic beasts, and then begins thrusting his spear out at an incredible speed.
The first thrust cut through the one on the left right at the area below it's big flowery head on its stem, the next thrust hit the 2nd one right in the middle of it's eyes. Sensing something was coming Zack retreats away from the spot he was standing, immediately after a green root bursts out of the ground.
Evading being pierced yet again Zack sees the two he stabbed falls to the ground but does not get back up. Not knowing how long this boost may last Zack wastes no time in going at the last two, with a few more precise thrusts they too fall to his onslaught.
After the last one falls the system speaks again saying this time " stag's boost deactivated". Immediately after he is flushed with the feeling of fatigue, but yet that was short lived due to the next notifications from the system.
