The Tutorial Pocket Dimension

The soul looked up and said, "My name is Amadeus."

Omega stood silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Interesting choice. Do you know the meaning behind that name?"

Amadeus, intrigued, asked, "Why? What's the meaning behind it?"

Omega smiled again and said, "That's a story for another time. We can't waste time on something useless."

50 seconds left.

Amadeus looked at the system and thought, "He's right. I can't waste time. Before I go, I have to get all I can from Omega."

Amadeus looked at Omega and said, "Do you have any tips to help me on this tutorial? Like what's it about, its location, or what kind of enemies I might meet?"

Omega leaned back on his throne and said calmly, "No."

Amadeus, surprised, thought, "There are two meanings to this answer—either he doesn't want to help me, or he doesn't know."

40 seconds left.

Omega then said, "Each tutorial is different, which means its location, the goal, and the enemies are different each time."

Amadeus thought, "Different each time; then I am entering the tutorial totally blind. This might be harder than I thought..."

Omega interrupted Amadeus' thoughts and said, "But don't worry, in the end, it's just a tutorial. If you're careful enough, you will pass it."

30 seconds left.

Amadeus then thought, "It doesn't matter. Even if the tutorial is in hell, I will complete it."

They stood silent for a bit, the sound of the system counting filling the air.

20 seconds left.

Omega suddenly said, "What I am going to tell you now isn't a secret or a tip, but an advice."

Amadeus looked at Omega and said, "Anything is better than nothing."

Omega, with a serious face, said, "The reward for completing the tutorial is the most important thing you will get, and it will either make you fly in the sky or chain you to the ground."

Then he added with a menacing voice, "Always remember that the system doesn't make mistakes in writing. You have to carefully analyze every word the system shows you, because it always has a hidden meaning."

Omega then added, "And finally, never trust the system. No matter how good it looks, in the end, it's just helping you to use you later."

10 seconds left.

Amadeus, who was silently listening and memorizing each word Omega told him, said, "Then will I meet you again?"

9 seconds left.

Omega said, "When I see that the time is right, we will meet again."

8 seconds left.

Omega added, "Of course, that is if you survive long enough."

7 seconds left.

"Don't worry, I will survive no matter the cost," Amadeus added.

6 seconds left.

Omega said, "Amadeus."

5 seconds left.

Suddenly, a white magic circle appeared under Amadeus.

4 seconds left.

Amadeus then thought, "So that's how I'm going to the tutorial."

3 seconds left.

Light started to come out from the circle in the form of beams of light slowly rising, which took Amadeus' interest.

He was surprised after looking at Omega's face, which looked so menacing that he could kill him in a second.

2 seconds left.

Omega, with a menacing voice, looked down at Amadeus from his throne with eyes glowing with red energy and said, "Don't disappoint me."

1 second left.

Amadeus stayed silent with a calm face, and he exchanged his final look with Omega before the light from the circle covered his vision and formed a pillar of light.

0 seconds left.

Beginning transportation to the tutorial pocket dimension...

Amadeus' vision was completely covered by the white rays of light that lasted for a few seconds. Suddenly, the light stream started to disappear.

Amadeus didn't waste any time and started investigating the area with his eyes.

The place he was teleported to was a forest, and there was a weird white energy creating a barrier that covered the place.

"Good, a forest area can be classified as the easiest environment to survive in. As for that barrier, maybe it shows the tutorial area limits," thought Amadeus.

"Now to see the others," thought Amadeus as he turned his head to look at the other people that came with him.

There were 14 people with Amadeus, making them a total of 15. Most of them were humans, but some stood out more than the others.

First, the beast man, tall with a huge body, looked human apart from his ears that looked like they belonged to a bear. "Ahh, that light made my head spin," the beast man screamed in anger.

Second, an elf girl with beautiful features and a cold demeanor. "This tutorial might be a good opportunity to relax in the forest," she said.

Third, a human with black hair and eyes, a slender build, and gloomy eyes. "A forest? Come on, so I won't find a good place to sleep then," he said.

"Please, can you give me your attention," said a gentle voice.

Amadeus turned quickly towards the source of the voice because he was sure there was no one apart from the people he saw.

The voice belonged to a man with red hair and eyes and white skin, wearing white clothes similar to that of a butler, with an emblem on his hand glowing with white light.

"I'm sure of it; he wasn't there when we got here," thought Amadeus. "Did he just appear?"

Everyone directed their attention to the man.

"Thank you," the man said with a gentle smile.

"I am Jax, the calibrator responsible for directing this tutorial."

"A calibrator? What does that even mean?" the elf girl said with an arrogant manner.

"Everything is written in the database of the system, so you can read it later," said Jax with a smile.

The beast man smirked and started moving towards Jax. "A tutorial? What a waste of time. Weren't we already chosen? Then why waste the ti..."

The beast man's words stopped as he stopped walking because Jax lifted his hand.

"First, can you stop there? You have to keep a distance of 2 meters between us," said Jax with a smile.

"Is that part of the rules?" asked the elf girl.

"It's not part of the rules, but a personal preference," said Jax with a smile.

"Second, you already interrupted my talk twice. So, I won't tolerate any more interruptions."

"And before you ask, no.999985, this is also a personal preference of mine."

"No.999985? Why didn't he use her name? If he's responsible for the tutorial, he should know all our names from the system," thought Amadeus as he watched what was happening. "Is it because for them, until we pass the tutorial, we are no more than numbers?"

"Please, be patient. I will tell you everything you need to know," said Jax.

The beast man returned to his place, and Jax continued talking.

"My purpose is to monitor the tutorial and make sure that no mistakes happen in it. And, of course, I am also here to guide you through it."

"First, why don't you read this?"

Jax lifted his hand and snapped his fingers. Each person's system opened in front of them.

 [Missions]

-Main mission: The Ghoul Forest

-Difficulty: E

-You're a lucky wanderer who lost his way in the forest and was able to find this defensive barrier, but it will only last for 1 week. Then the monsters will flood the forest area. Will you be able to survive?

- Completion conditions: Survive or kill the monsters in the 3 waves.

- Failure conditions: Death or failure to meet the minimum contribution of 10%.

- Completion reward: The right to enter the citadel.

"Is this a joke? It seems simple and easy. Too easy," said Amadeus as he looked at the system.

The screen then changed.

 [Notification]

- Axel will be watching your actions, choices, personality, and performance in this tutorial.

- Once you complete the tutorial, you will be rewarded with a class depending on these factors.

The screen then changed.

- Good Luck.

"Luck you say? Well, I don't think I have much of that," said Amadeus as the system closed.

A clap from Jax got everyone's attention back.

As they looked at him, he said, "Now that you understand the tutorial, I will explain the..."

He was cut off by a human boy who started laughing and talking. "Haha...What more do you need to explain? I guess the mission is clear enough, and people in my world were all worked up about it."

"He's right. In the lives I've lived as a soldier, this kind of test was common, where you need to survive monster waves and These people don't seem that weak," thought Amadeus. "Even after hearing that they need to fight waves of monsters, they didn't flinch, like it was normal."

The boy then looked at the others and said with an arrogant smile, "Don't you agr..."

He stopped mid-sentence, his veins bulging, and his eyes turning red. "Didn't I warn you before?" said Jax with a smile. The boy fell to his knees, screaming from the immense pain.

The boy kept screaming for several minutes, with everyone silently watching him with cold faces. Not wanting to get into trouble, they stood silent, hoping they wouldn't be next.

"Well, he got what was coming to him," thought Amadeus, looking at the boy with cold eyes like everyone else. Then he glanced at Jax. "But more importantly, what kind of power does he have? Is he using magic?"

A girl in the back was biting her lower lip in frustration. She couldn't handle it anymore and stepped forward.

Jax, who was silently smiling and watching the boy suffer, looked back at the girl with menacing eyes and a gentle smile and said, "Oh... number 999998, do you want to say something?"

The girl, human with pink hair and eyes, wearing noble training clothes, screamed, "Don't you think that's enough?"

Her outburst shocked everyone.

"Is she crazy?" thought Amadeus.
