The Place Where Everything Begins

One hour later...

An hour ago, when Jeremy started explaining about the tutorial events to the trio. As a result, he was assaulted by unrelenting and unceasing questions from the three.

As a result, he decided to cast some spells to shut them up and test his magic spells on real living humans.

Anyway, the questions from them were quite acceptable, though, because no ordinary people would believe such nonsenses like being transported into another world or something along that line.

However, whenever one of the three friends doubted a word from Jeremy. He snapped his fingers, and that person would not be able to move even a single inch from their position. They couldn't even move their mouth or roll their eyeballs. They would be literally stiffed like a cold corpse.

Sometimes, after the fingers snapping from Jeremy. One of those three would just lose all of their strength and flop down onto the sofa like a squid. Never to regain their energy back again. They would just lay there waiting for Jeremy to lift the spell for them to be back to normal.

And other times, they would be muted like that time, scared shitless by the sudden darkness enveloping them, or they would feel drowsy and sluggish, which made them want to sleep and never wake up ever again.

After experiencing many spells and wonders from Jeremy, the three of them had been transformed from hot-blooded youths into obedient servants doing whatever Jeremy demanded them.

From the various spells he had been casting until now, they were proved quite effective, like hitting two stones with one bird. He was satisfied with the results.

[A/N: The bird is immortal, so the stones die...]

After telling them enough information to prepare themselves for the destined to come world traveling, Jeremy took a look at the time. It had already passed his usual spear training time.

'Now, I have already told them about the necessary information such as how to prepare themselves, what they will face inside the tutorials, do's and don'ts within the white space and tutorials, and also who is trustable and who is not trustable.'

'From now on until the end of the tutorial, it was up to them to fend for themselves. Alright... next is the queue to start one of my grand plans to conquer Ortus.'

Jeremy thought to himself with an unnoticeable hidden glint reflecting on his eyes.

First, Jeremy started by asking them to promise him that they would never speak about this topic or inform anyone, be it directly, indirectly, intentionally, or unintentionally to anyone except for the people present in this room.

When the three of them heard that, Charlotte's face went pale, Owen's face was filled with reluctance; meanwhile, Sam's face was neutral, like it was not a big deal for him at all.

'The hard part starts from now... sigh...'

Jeremy thought inwardly.

According to his memory, Charlotte's family members really loved and doted on her, and she also loved her family.

When Jeremy asked them not to tell anyone about the events that might happen for real soon enough, so she felt very unwilling.

On the other hand, she had also just realized that her family members had to experience the tutorial events the same as her. So, she felt terrified with the thought that her loved ones would be dead soon.

It was also not much different for Owen's. His family was also important to him, and he loved his family dearly.

As for Samuel, he considered himself not to have any other family members or friends except for those three in front of him anymore. Because right after his family's business went bankrupt, his parents broke up.

Afterward, his mother ran away and created a new family with a guy in another state. She never bothered to contact him or his father again.

Meanwhile, his father became an alcoholic and abused him on a daily basis. Until he couldn't endure his father anymore. He decided to run away from home, found a job to earn a living, and lived by himself since then.

Regarding his other relatives, they abandoned him when he was at his lowest. There was no need for him to care about them at all.

*Sigh*

Right now, when Jeremy saw that Charlotte and Owen were reluctant to agree to his terms, he could only sigh and find some words to convince them.

But in truth, it was only an act. Jeremy was inwardly satisfied with their reactions.

"I know that you guys feel reluctant, and you guys concern dearly about your family members, but even if you tell them about those things, will they believe in you? What words will you use to convince them then? Are you planning to tell them that humanity will be transported batch by batch into a different world?"

After hearing Jeremy's words, Charlotte and Owen's faces became bitter.

Not waiting for the two people to open their mouths, Jeremy continued.

"The answer is... 'No'. Those people will only think of you as delusional and watch too many fantasy movies. And if they somehow believe in your words, can you guarantee that they will survive the tutorials that only have a 5% of survival chance? That is, every nineteen out of twenty people will die..."

Speaking up to here, the face of those two had already become white and ashen. But Jeremy decided to squash their little bit of hope that might still remain within the deepest part of their hearts.

"Now, let's assume that some of your family members somehow miraculously survive the tutorials and are teleported onto Ortus successfully. How can you and your family reunite with one another? How can you contact them? Do note that the Ortus' size is a quarter of the Sun's of which is around 12,000 times bigger than Earth itself."

After hearing those words, Charlotte was having a mental breakdown from the shocking revelations, while Owen's head was as light as a feather until his head flopped down onto the sofa.

As a result, even a neutral face, Samuel was also quite shocked at the superficial reveal of some vital information about Ortus from Jeremy.

Not wanting to torment them anymore, Jeremy offered them a way out...

'It's finally come to this, the hardest part...'

Jeremy thought to himself.

...

[A/N: Ortus' radius is around 350,000 km, making it only around 3,000 times bigger than Earth and approximately four times less than Sun in terms of surface area.]
