Lost In A Universal Sandbox.

Impar had no intention of wasting such a useful item right off the bat he was confident that he would find out the reason he and others were cast into this dimension eventually and considering it was a basic question only two possibilities should occur after using the item.

One would be using the item and asking the easiest quickest way to achieve being ahead of other people. in which case it would be considered not a basic question by gods standard, and Impar would have no choice but to waste it on something else without taking the item back, in the meantime he wasn't in any rush he would wait for a little before using the item he had a feeling he would need it.

Eventually, he pulled out the leather adventurer set. It was in the shape of a sigil with a picture of brown attire on it. When he thought about how he would be able to equip it the sigil magically glowed and shot out a ray of light that engulfed impar. When that light dissipated, he was covered with a set of leather attire that consisted of a leather cap, leather tunic, leather gloves, leather pants, leather shoes. It seemed worn down and looked as if it were picked off from someone who was chased by wolves.

: Old Leather Set:

:6/6 Set Bonus: Increases defence by 1.

"yuck..well with each piece giving me one defence including that set bonus? i guess my defence should be ok for a starter " He glanced at his stats again to see a new addition was added it showed that his defence was currently at 7 which made him think as he progressed he would unlock more stats though he cringed somewhat as he could even smell the weird odour that lingered on the armour.

Though he was a little disappointed as he realised another fact. "Ehh? No weapon?...well shit" Being at a loss but then realised he had the fledgeling mage handbook.

"I'm sure it will teach me some magic I can use!" excitement welled up in his body he could imagine himself learning a fireball spell something any human would kill to have a chance to obtain. he quickly opened the book before it showed a sight similar to the forager's handbook.

"Learn" he uttered as it glowed and a ray of light shot into his mind, he was excited in every way he definitely would pay those cows and chickens a visit once he learnt an offensive spell. As his eyes were shut while he discovered the contents of the book that smile turned upside down into bitterness.

" You're kidding me...."

: Contents Learnt, To Unlock Fledgeling Knowledge, please Activate your Mana Core:

He could only spot the blurred out pages of the fledgeling book in his mind, and it all said the same thing for him to unlock somehow his Mana Core which he had no idea as to how to achieve.

"There has to be something else I can do. no use crying over spilled milk.." Ignoring the bitterness, he began walking over to the obelisk again with some eagerness, and another window popped up.

: Tribute Quest level Two:

"This really reminds me of that game WorldCraftMine" God had his way of doing things he wouldn't question what such a powerful being was thinking though it would be fascinating to wonder what those non-religious folks would think as well as the religious ones more so the nut cases who liked to argue no doubt the world will be turned upside down.

paying no more attention he went on his way while making sure to take in all the sights just in case a secret was lurking somewhere, he did notice some odd colored stone that seemed rusted in color no doubt these were iron veins.

Impar couldn't help but admire the world around him a little more, it was untouched by humanity and felt amazing to be in of course this was him being protected in the meantime. He had no idea what would await in the future he didn't consider himself a main character he felt a little calm as he travelled around some more collecting what he could.

-

"Eh, another one?...." kneeling down a figure clad in old leather attire holding sticks with some stones and green weeds could be seen. After kneeling, he picked up a small thumb-sized stone from between the rocks and gravel of the path he was walking. This was of course Impar. He had managed to collect a majority of what he needed somewhat easily but would occasionally come across exciting finds.

: Impure Mana Shard:

Description: A mana shard condensed into physical form but not without Impurities, can be used in "..."

"Really again....this is bullcrap" He uttered before throwing it into his storage it seemed that these items stacked and right now he had 11 others for a total of 12, in fact, his inventory was crammed with wild vegetables and other berries all of which seemed to serve the same purpose of feeding him for now of course until he could unlock cooking or something more.

Four hours had gone by since he had received that quest amazingly he hadn't come across a single person these plains were too enormous which meant that it held more secrets to unlock.

While this occurred, people around the Plains of Hope were also doing their tasks. Some that had managed to find another person were talking, others had gone mad with fear and returned to the real world without coming back. Others with professions in real life such as botanists or archeologists were frothing at the mouth wasting their time simply analysing what they could here.

people were unsure of what to do while the minority considered this a chance to lead humanity onward and wasted no second trying to get ahead of the pack, God didn't seem to discriminate as people of all sorts of backgrounds the incredibly rich, the middle class, the poor and the incredibly poor all of them within this new world.

The outside world of course had gone into a frenzy. The secret had been kept for only an hour before many things started to occur. One person ran to his local news station they thought he was a loon at first, but when he teleported to the Plains of Hope right in front of them, the journalists all froze in deathly silence.

Some were freaked out and prayed to all sorts of gods. Others smelled a great scoop while the editor in chief knew something very very big was going to occur.

That man called other journalists stationed across the world, and they were reporting the same thing.

The news was all over the place scrambling to get ahead of their competitors, the headlines more crazier than the last. "Aliens abduct humans to inhabit a new world!" "God is taking people to heaven!!" "Video game world, God is a gamer!" "Humanity to pioneer new world, God's orders!"

No one was sure how to come up with a headline for this sort of story, but they knew the crazier it sounded, the more people would read it and since this fire was lighting the world, it began to spread more and more.

The world government eventually had to step in before the masses started to cry out that the end was near and announce to the ordinary people quickly. "Please Remain calm this does not b.a.r.e any danger to humanity, we are still looking into this matter, but again this does not endanger humanity!"

They were also at a loss for words. Secret service was sent out to gather people chosen by God for questioning and such, though when one thing didn't go right, the individual directly teleported back to the plains of hope with no worry even the cold calm agents were dumbfounded and spooked knowing they needed a lighter touch rather than ordering others around.

All organisations with funds to throw around were doing their best to gather as much intel as they could on this new world some were starting to offer people large sums for any bit of info they could come up with.

No one was sure what was going on, but the smarter ones knew a way to make a profit would surely reveal itself as well.

-

Impar was unaware of the happenings in the real world he had no intention to return at least for now. He was continuing and glanced at his quest progress after picking up another decent sized branch.

: Tribute Quest level Two:

Objective Gather The Following: Branches 5/5) Stones 5/5) Moss Vine 5/5)

"Great I should head back.." glancing up at the sky he noticed that it should be nearing mid-afternoon the sun was similar to that of the earth even the moon looked the same except it was much closer and larger than the one back home.

As Impar turned around to head back to the obelisk, he felt a chill run up his spine and quickly fell to the ground not daring to move an inch he was terrified he felt a weird sensation that told him danger was all around him.

The plains shook, and the clouds parted a massive gust of wind blew across the landscape like a tornado in the sky, he managed to sneak a glance before noticing a sizeable ominous shadow flying along causing a massive gust of wind as it did. This behemoth was at least 100 meters long.

"D...dragon!!.. it's a f.u.c.k.i.n.g dragon!..." The large shadow reached a point where the sun showed its figure, a dragon with emerald-like scales that glowed with radiance and a western look with a proud single horn on its forehead emitting a glowing green light that seemed to distort the space around it was flying through the plains of hope calmly at least to itself.

It seemed to notice it was being glanced at, its large left eye with a red slit pupil turned and glanced down at the pitiful insect that was Impar, of course, it couldn't care less as it continued onwards passed the horizon.

The forest nearby and plains soon regained it's calm for a moment before the howling of wolves and sounds of animals in a crazed manner began to cry out in frustration as if they were angry but didn't dare utter a sound when that creature was around.

"I need to be careful... if that thing were pissed off, I would be dead without the protection... I can't waste time " quickly lifting himself and collecting the stuff he held and placing it in his inventory he rushed off towards the obelisk.
