The two had a staredown for a while. It was Echo who stood up and cleared her throat. She had an awkward expression on her face as she said, "Forget it. I was just cleaning the floor."

"Really?" Jake had an amusing smile on his face. "I never thought I would get to see such a face of our great Echo."

The girl couldn\'t wait to run away from here. Before she could even think about rushing out of this place, she heard a voice she least wanted to hear at this time.

"What are you doing there, Jake? Wait, are you actually talking to Echo?" Tess spoke as Shane also glanced at them.

Good, Lord!

Echo\'s expression cracked a little as she took a deep breath and glared at a certain smiling person. She should have hidden behind the food counter at all! In fact, she shouldn\'t have used her body to stalk Shane.

It would have been better to use astral travel to keep an eye on the man. Even though it would cost her a couple more time and energy, it would be better than being caught shamelessly!

Echo took a deep breath and glared at Jake before rushing away from that place.

Shane and others stared at the silver-haired girl running away like her ass was on fire. He blinked and tilted his head in confusion.

Then he shook his head and threw the topic to the back of his head. He called out, "Jake, what\'re you blabbering for with that girl? Stay away from her."

"Sure, sure," said Jake as he waved his hand. He walked toward Shane\'s table and sat beside Tess. He put his hand on his chin and tilted his head toward her a little.

A flirty smile appeared on his lips. "How you doing?"

"Don\'t do \'friends\' here!" Shane\'s forehead was covered with black lines as he glared at the man. "At least, not on my sister!"

"Chill out, mother hen." Jake let out a chuckle. "I was just testing out my acting skills."

At this time, Echo had a nostalgic expression on her face as she watched the group chit-chatting at the table. No one knew what was going on in her mind.

After a while, her fingers curled up in a fist. She looked as if she had just determined something in her mind as she walked away. Her expressions remained firm and stern as if she was ready to jump on a battlefield.

The next day arrived. Even though none of the students wanted to attend, they had no choice. If they wanted a good life in the Occident continent, they would have to pass the exam. Not only that, but they would also have to get first division grades and rise at or about level ten just to get out of Orient.

In short, if a system were to fail to fulfill the basic requirements of eligibility, they would be forced to live in this Godforsaken place.

No systems at present wanted to stay here. Even though living inside the institute was as good as staying at a hotel, they had all seen the outside world. Most of the systems living in quarters outside didn\'t live better.

They were all poor, barely having anything to fill up their stomachs every day. Some even resorted to killing monsters as an overtime job apart from traveling from one world to another.

So Shane was also affected by this mentality. He felt a hint of nervousness in his heart as he took a few deep breaths to calm himself.

He should calm down. It was only a virtual portal….

No, his virtual chances ended with Norman!

He cursed under his breath. This was the real world, and he would be responsible for someone else\'s life. Even if he managed to save his host, he would end up killing another host in a mission.

In short, what he was going to do starting from today would harm someone or the other.

At present, they were all standing in the open ground in new robes, ready to enter the last exam venue. Ed stood there with his hands crossed on his chest as he stared at the students expressionlessly.

Today, there wasn\'t a virtual portal like they usually saw every day. There wasn\'t anything there, to begin with!

This scene caused the students to feel a tinge of nervousness in their hearts.

Just as they were thinking, they heard the bald man speaking: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the final exam. We\'ll send you all to the world to examine your job capabilities. Based on your marks and report, you would be given wages when you get hired by the transmigration companies either here or another continent."

"Companies?"

"That\'s right," said Ed as he stared at everyone. "It\'s impossible for the government to handle everything alone with only one System God. So here, private and government companies are responsible to handle the mortal realm. They all receive karma evaluation of every world they choose, and based on that, they assign a particular system to either save or destroy a world."

Ed paused and continued, "Now that everything\'s clear, we should start for the day. Dirt," he said and glanced at his robot, "turn on the portal."

As soon as Dirt nodded and typed a few words on the interface, a portal appeared. This was a bit different from what the students had seen earlier. This portal had a look like a dungeon portal with something dark wandering at the center of the circle. If one looked carefully, one would see the universal sky beyond the portal into the darkness.

Ed nodded and said, "I\'ll call out the names, and you guys have to enter that chronology."

After that, he started calling out the names of the students available there. When it was Shane\'s turn, he took a deep breath and entered.

Suddenly, he felt dizzy to the point that he couldn\'t stand anymore. His stomach churned. He almost felt he would puke his guts out.

He was reminded of the time when they had seen monsters eating humans for the first time. It had nearly made him vomit. But he had suppressed himself back then.

The current emotions were also the same as that day. It was just that this was caused because of the space and time traveling system.

When he opened his eyes the next time, he was already in a dark, familiar system space. He noticed a few popup windows similar to what had happened previously.

​ Only, at the end of the entire popup scenario, a sentence appeared, almost seemingly mocking him.

[System, since this is your first real-world within an ongoing examination curriculum, we request you not to die. Onto your journey!]

Shane\'s lips twitched. He crossed the popup as his body was transferred to the world without asking him permission. He felt another wave of dizziness traveling up his head.

He fell to the ground when he opened his eyes.

Another familiar black space with a job interface was waiting for him. He was already inside the host\'s mind.

He quickly scanned the world\'s information first and was stunned.

It was also similar to the first world with two parties. It was just that here, they had a clear distinction on who belonged to which group. There wasn\'t any backstory given to this world. It was empty, without any living organisms other than deadly monsters. Only dense forest awaited the systems at present.

The two groups that he read about before were—

The saviors and the destroyers.

The mission was crystal clear. The destroyers would annihilate this world while the saviors would try to save this world. But their common mission was the same: to kill the main boss.

So the two groups would have to work together on several small tasks until they killed the boss before finally heading toward the final mission.

Of course, they couldn\'t ignore the small tasks before heading toward the final mission. It was because both were mandatory for the final exam report. Or else, the invigilator would give the students zero whoever skipped this mandatory mission.

The reason behind this kind of absurd mission was simple. They wanted to see whether systems were ready to perform tasks even with the enemies. They didn\'t want to see whether they could complete the missions.

Of course, Ed didn\'t give out this piece of information to the students. So all of them were under the illusion that they would have to pass the missions until the very end to get full marks.

Shane didn\'t think too much about the mission. He simply clicked on the host information tab.

This time, his host was also a normal college student, similar to him in all aspects. Even his host always stayed at the top in all the fields.

Shane sighed. He didn\'t want to deal with a prodigy. They were the worst.

It was almost as if trying to manage his past self, which would be troubling even for him.

Just as he was thinking, the frantic voice of his host echoed in his ears. "Where am I?! What\'s happening?"

Shane quickly opened the screen as he watched his host getting up from the ground. He was leaning against a tree. He was currently standing in dense forests such that even sunrays couldn\'t filter between the leaves.
