[Phantom] Chapter 8 (Enter)

"Connecting…" Completely unlike what I expected—no character creation, no class selection, nothing. I was about to say the screen was completely black. Yu felt a bit panicked, wondering if something had gone wrong. "To help you better adapt to the game environment, please patiently participate in the simulation." "Visual system matching…" The sound of the system prompts gradually faded, and the darkness in front of me started to change. Faint starlight slowly appeared and gradually drew closer.

The stars in front of me became more numerous. At first, meteors passed by my side, and as time went on, more and more scenes were drawn in front of me. From the galaxy to the solar system, it felt as if I were sitting in a spaceship, moving quickly…

"This scene is amazing, I love it, haha~" Yu couldn't help but exclaim.

"Wow, that's Mars, it's spectacular."
"Look, look, that's Earth, the view in front of me keeps getting closer."

"It feels like the system is matching…"

Yu began to feel the cold emptiness of space…

When a blue light passed in front of me, Yu felt an irresistible heat. Following the light, the beam hit the center of the Moon accurately. In an instant, a planet exploded before Yu's eyes. The Moon shattered into countless sparkling crystals scattering in all directions. Yu felt violently pushed away by the blast wave of the Moon's explosion, with countless fragments flying toward me. Everything in front of me turned red and white…

When Yu stabilized in space, it seemed that something flew overhead, completely covering me in shadow.Silently turning around, what came into view was countless alien ships heading toward Earth, and the sound of endless creatures roaring beside his ears... Occasionally, blue beams of light flew across the darkness, and one of them passed precisely through him... Yu felt as if the moisture in his body was evaporating rapidly, ultimately being burned away by the beam. Yu's vision plunged into darkness again, and when he saw the light once more, 'Hello, welcome to [Phantom] District 15 [Sin City]. From today onward, you will be a member of this city, and your future is in your hands...' When Yu regained control of his body, his legs were weak, and he collapsed onto the square, face pressed against the ground, feeling the coldness beneath him, but he couldn't muster any strength to get up. His eyes were tightly shut; he dared not, he could not open them, as the light was always so blinding. Curled up on the square, his body trembled, sweat soaking the clothes gifted by the newbie system. Not far away, there was a kind-looking old man staring at Yu without blinking, holding a wooden plaque that seemed very bizarre. Looking around the square, at the center was an unidentified statue, and from the statue, the ground was covered with white stones. The buildings around the square were surprisingly in a medieval style from the previous era. Yu strained to adjust his pupils, trying to adapt to the surrounding scene... He saw white tiles on the ground, white buildings in the distance, a white sky, and a white sun. 'Luckily, I'm not dead yet...' Yu weakly said. 'Eh? That is...' Yu began to focus on the old man not far away. Once his vision returned to normal, Yu could clearly see what was written on the wooden plaque: 'Newbie Instructor.' Yu felt deeply helpless, 'They really think of me as a three-year-old child…'
