Looking at the world around him that seemed to have been paused, Lancer felt his luck value had decreased again recently.
Why did things turn out like this... I passed the civil service exam for the first time, and I was getting along well with my blind date introduced by my family. Two happy things overlapped. And these two joys brought me more joy. What I got should have been a blissful time like a dream... But, why, did it turn out this way...
'The Strongest Lancer Training System,' this was the 'cheat' that Lancer had obtained. It's a pity there was no cute system spirit or the legendary protagonist's standard lucky draw, only a cold mission list and a 'Spear Mastery F' skill that came with it.
Just as he was trying to find the 'novice gift pack' that he didn't know if it existed, a cold mechanical voice appeared in his mind.
"Countdown 30S, the mission is about to begin, please be prepared, Host."
Be prepared? What else can he do? The only thing he can do now is to reconfirm his basic stats.

Looking at his basic stats, Lancer felt a headache. Although this system did strengthen him, it only turned him from a 'nerd who would be bullied by ordinary people' into a 'nerd who would be bullied by a few ordinary people.' Now that time around him was still, he had no idea what he would encounter next. No matter how you look at it, it was unreliable. He only hoped he wouldn't encounter a door kill.
And what's more troublesome is that there wasn't even a 'mission.' He didn't even know what he should do next.
But obviously, this so-called 'system' wouldn't wait for him.
"Countdown ends, mission begins. Main mission announced: Survive in the plot world for more than 150 days. Leaving Tokyo is not allowed during the plot period."
As the voice fell, the world around Lancer, which seemed to have been paused, returned to normal. Everyone started to move, and he stood by a tree like a puppet, at a loss.
Although he wasn't a real puppet, he was indeed in a state of confusion. After all, he still didn't know where he was. He recognized Tokyo, but he didn't think he was still in the place that was just a few hours' plane ride from home, because his mission was to 'survive.'
'Forget it, no matter what, I'll first confirm which world I'm in.'
With this thought, he walked towards a small alley by the street. As for why he went to the alley? He was completely ignorant of this world and hadn't even figured out his own identity, so he decided it was better to temporarily avoid the crowd.
But when he walked into the alley, he found that something seemed wrong.
If the street gave him a feeling of being out of place, then the alley made him feel like he was being spied on. He reflexively tensed his muscles and carefully observed his surroundings, after all, he trusted his intuition quite a bit.
It was like when he used to play with his phone in class, he would often get away with it because of this 'intuition.'
But sometimes, intuition alone is meaningless, because many times you find the enemy but are still unable to resist.
"Pfft~!"
Before he could even react, he felt a pain in his shoulder and then ————————
"Ahhh!! Ooh~!!"
Although he had transmigrated, it couldn't change the fact that just a few minutes ago he was just an ordinary chuunibyou teenager. The pain in his shoulder made him let out a wail, but unfortunately, the perpetrator seemed to not want him to be too noisy. He directly covered his mouth with his hand and lifted him into the air.
"Slap slap~! Slap slap~!"
He kept kicking the guy who was holding his face and lifting him, but he wasn't sure if it was his imagination, it felt like he was kicking a rock. After kicking for a long time, he only felt pain in his feet.
And the other party seemed to have gotten bored of playing and threw him hard against a wall.
"Bang~!"
At this moment, Lancer felt as if his body had fallen apart, especially the bones in his back, which seemed to have turned into a pile of parts.
The pain made him unable to even open his eyes, but he was unwilling! He was unwilling to die without even knowing how he died!
Using all his strength to open his right eye, he saw a guy with glowing red eyes walking towards him with a sinister grin. He knew that with the other party's strength, he could completely twist his neck. So, was he just going to give up like this? No! He didn't want to die yet!!
Lancer, who had fallen into a pile of trash, desperately fumbled around him. He tried to find something like a beer bottle. Once a person is close to death, they will become hysterical. After realizing that he might die a mysterious death in this deserted alley today, he decided to leave a 'mark' on the other party!
But to his despair, he fumbled for a long time without finding any weapon. The other party also seemed to have gotten bored of the game of torturing him and strangled his neck with one hand, lifting him up.
The feeling of suffocation made him almost unable to control his body, but at this moment ————————
"Pfft~!"
"Ooh~!!"
The pain in his right shoulder made him want to cry out, but since his lungs couldn't get any air, it turned into a distorted whimper.
But the pain also temporarily liberated his dazed mind. His randomly waving right hand seemed to grasp a stick-like object.
I won't let you have it easy even in death!
Even the most harmless creature will become hysterical when faced with death, and Lancer was no different. He didn't know where the strength came from in his body, but he used one hand to thrust the stick-like object in his hand fiercely into the other party's abdomen.
"Scratch~!!"
"Ahhh! Damn it!! You dare to hurt me!! I'm going to make you watch me eat you!!"
"Bang!!"
Lancer heard the voice of his attacker for the first time. Then he felt his already-falling-apart spine take another heavy blow. This time, he was really about to lose consciousness, but at this moment, a blurry figure appeared at the far end of the alley.
Before losing consciousness, Lancer only saw three things that looked like tentacles...
