Free Web NovelChapter 3: Step 3 to Greatness: Surviving in A Strange World
"Ugh..." Adrian groaned, holding his head. "This old geezer hits like a bull."
Ignoring the pain, he forced his eyes open. The midday sun flooded his vision, forcing him to squint. Even then, based on what little he saw stunned him into silence.
He was lying surrounded by tall, lush, green grass. No matter where he turned, all he saw was wilderness growing unchecked.
"What the hell is this place!?" Adrian exclaimed, sitting right up.
The throbbing pain in his head hadn’t disappeared, but given the shock of seeing the strange place, he couldn’t care less about the forest he was in.
[Ahem... check, check. Can you hear me, virgin boy?]
A familiar voice called for Adrian. He recognized it as the voice of his playboy ancestor.
"Where the hell did that old fuck send me to? This isn’t my world—?"
[You wouldn’t have been of much use there either way.]
[Forget about that. I’m here to tell you more about your blessings.]
"Blessings?"
[Yes. It should be appearing before you right about... now.]
As soon as the playboy ancestor said that, a holographic screen indeed appeared before Adrian.

"Ultimate OP system? Could you possibly pick a worse name for it?"
[Ah, it makes sense!]
"What makes sense?"
[You being bitchless. Who would like a bitch bitching about all the time?]
"..."
[Nice. Keep quiet and focus on the screen in front.]
Adrian sighed and looked ahead, only to see that the screen’s content had changed. It now displayed his stats like he was a character in some RPG.

Welcome to the Savage Earth.
The modern world collapsed centuries ago, thrusting people back into primitive times. Humans no longer remain at the top of the food chain. Countless beasts have emerged from different realities, waiting to devour any and all humans.
Your task, as a male survivor, is simple.
Ensure humanity doesn’t go extinct.
Host’s Aura effect: Big Balls (literally).

"Big balls...? The fuck is that supposed—ARGH!"
Before Adrian could speak his mind, a burning force erupted between his legs like a volcano. He looked down, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
His balls... were literally big. Not just them, but the trunk had also grown to twice its original size. Yet the words that escaped Adrian’s mouth were about the size difference.
"Why am I naked!?" freēwebnovel.com
[Got damn you moron! Just focus on the screen!]

Adrian was too overwhelmed by the wall of text to say anything. From the manhwas he had read and the media he had consumed in his teenage years, he knew this was supposed to be his cheat. Even then, wasn’t it a bit too much?
[That’s because you’re utterly hopeless.]
Adrian knew retorting would end with him receiving even worse words. So instead, he just kept quiet and focused on the screen that changed yet again.

"Hey! The stats actually aren’t that bad!" Adrian nodded, going through the info page carefully.
[That’s because your ancestors took pity on you. Now that’s done, let me make a few things clear for you.]
[You’ll remain in this world for a week. After that, when you sleep, you’ll awaken in the real world.]
[Don’t be disheartened. Every night you fall asleep, you can re-enter this or any other world later. A week will pass here, but in the real world, only eight hours would pass.]
"So you’re saying that as long as I’m asleep, I can live in other worlds?"
[Did I stutter? Either way, you’re on your own now. Buh-bye!]
"Wait! Tsk, he’s already gone. What the hell am I supposed to do next?"
As soon as he said that, a new screen appeared before him.

"Right... gotta survive a week here," Adrian mumbled casually as if commenting on the weather.
His calmness about the situation even surprised him. Maybe having big balls wasn’t so bad after all.
"I should find something to use as a weapon first."
Just as Adrian was about to look for a stick or something, new notifications appeared before him.
[Chat area unlocked!]
[World Chat unlocked!]
[Regional Chat unlocked!]
[Private Chat unlocked!]
"...am I supposed to chat with tribals now?"
Adrian couldn’t think of a single use for the features, but still clicked on world chat, hoping to find a tribe from there.
He thought it would be like a recruitment channel, like he had seen in games. Instead, when he clicked, all he saw were texts for people calling for help.
<Green Tea is My Love>: Fuck! I should not have claimed that starter pack! The beasts that were standing outside my hut are suddenly attacking it!
<My Wife Left Me For My Dad>: Just use the weapon you got from the starter pack to kill them.
<Green Tea is My Love>: You people are getting weapons? All I got was some stale bread!
Adrian couldn’t bear to read the chat anymore. He expected to see some ooga-booga crap, but given their strange nicknames and talks about bread, he realized the savage world might not be as simple as he thought it was.
"It really feels like a game... A transmigration shelter game of sorts."
He had just closed the chat, but his curiosity won him over. He opened it again, and from what he understood, everyone there was from Earth, just like him. However, there was one stark difference.
"...why do they get shelter and beginner gear while I’m naked in the middle of the forest?"
The obvious answer was that the others were brought there, while he was thrown there by some sick ancestors of his.
"Maybe it’s a zone thing?" Adrian mumbled to himself, remembering seeing the regional chat.
He clicked on it, but the content was more or less the same. The only difference was the number 100,000 mentioned right under the chat interface.
It represented the number of individuals present in the region. Adrian had a feeling he wasn’t one of them. After all, they all had shelters, and he didn’t.
His ancestors gave him multiple systems, but forgot about the most basic thing.
"No, they didn’t."
Instead of blaming someone else, he opened the quest interface again and saw it right there. The starter pack he read about was locked under the first beginner quest.
It seemed the others had already survived a night on the Savage Earth. Hence, they got shelters and a starter pack. However, didn’t it mean Adrian would have to play the game on a harder setting than the rest of them?
It was like he joined a multiplayer game much later and missed out on pre-registration rewards. Now the world’s difficulty had increased, and he was still stuck as a newbie.
"Tsk, there’s no time to waste idling," he sighed and began looking around for things again.
However, just as he was about to grab a stick, he got another notification.
"A friend request?"
Adrian was a bit surprised to get one, but accepted it nonetheless, thinking they could help him get a tribe. As soon as he did, their profile opened before him.
"It’s a girl?"
It had to be someone trying to catfish him. At least that would have been the case if he hadn’t realized that everyone’s profile picture was their actual image and cannot be changed, unlike their names.
He was wondering what to do next when the girl sent him a message.
"Please help! I’m near the river, and you’re the only one around. The river current is too strong, and I might drown in it! I’ll send you my location... please help me! I’ll do anything to repay you! Anything!"
Adrian looked up, and indeed there was a river ahead. But he didn’t charge in to help. Not after what happened the last time he tried helping a girl.
Besides, he wanted to know how she knew he was close by. It’s not like he sent any message into the chat channels or anything.
"Hm... let’s take a look. Either I’ll get my answers or make some use of these," he said, glancing between his legs.
