Travel Itinerary: One Backpack from the Start

I have other new stories under my name. Feel free to add them to your collection! Completed. Thank you! The male lead doesn't get much page time. The story is mainly about leveling up and fighting monsters. I've marked the romance scenes, so if you don't like romance, be sure to skip them! The anti-piracy ratio isn't high. When people woke up again, they found themselves standing on a dirt road that stretched as far as the eye could see. [Ladies and gentlemen, your journey is about to begin. Please keep the following in mind along the way:] [1. Be sure to look after your belongings: your travel backpack, tent, and so on.] [2. Travel at least 20 kilometers a day, and you'll earn a chance to check in. There are rewards!] [3. When night falls, stay inside your tent. Don't leave the route, use lights, or make a sound. Otherwise, your tent will become your grave...] [4. When the fog clears, you can explore along the roadside. Remember not to wander too far. If you lose your way, you'll be stuck here forever!] [5. If fog engulfs the road, remember to light a source of illumination. It will drive the fog away. Watch out for the fog!] [6. Once you've saved up enough stars, you can wish to go home.] [7. Have a pleasant journey, everyone!~~~~ Hee hee!~~~~ Get going!] A little stress relief before we set off: Here are some things to know. The female lead has flaws. She's delicate, afraid of pain, and greedy for money. Early on, when she's scared or getting a wound cleaned and bandaged, she might scream and let it all out instead of holding it in or being particularly tough about it. Some readers may find that off-putting. The male lead isn't human! His values aren't the same as ours! I hope you'll be okay with that. If you really can't accept this particular flavor, please don't bother me! An inhuman character is bound to have inhuman issues. He'll certainly change as the story progresses. I hope things will turn romantic later, and that the female lead will get to ride a dragon through the sky. For now, the romance makes up less than a tenth of the story. It's very limited, and I'll mark it when it appears later. At first, she'll focus on adapting to survival. In the end, she'll go from having a small tent to building a mobile castle. She'll carry her home on her back and travel the world, experiencing all kinds of escape routes and facing tests from natural and man-made disasters as she overcomes dangers and difficulties. The female lead comes from the bottom of society in the future, in a setting affected by radiation. She's spent her life studying with her head down, so her physical strength and other attributes aren't great from the start (tsk, tsk), and her personality is shaped by that, too. She's not tall, but petite. She's bound to have less stamina than other people. Aside from becoming a hard-working wage slave after graduation just to stay alive, she's not very capable in other areas. Don't worry, the author will give her some good fortune. She's around 160 cm tall, delicate and lovely, and can't compare to a 175 cm model with long legs. Everyone has their own kind of beauty. If that's not your thing, please don't come in! Not every female lead is tall. Consider yourself warned! She comes from a terrible environment and has been under a lot of pressure. Her health is poor, and she might be worked to death by her company before she reaches even half of retirement age. She's seen through life, and at one point she wanted to give up and avoid the world. Studying under constant pressure while living on poor-quality nutritional fluid, in a world without good food, really takes a toll on a person's mental health. As the story goes on, she often travels and exercises. Seeing the hope the game offers, she makes a conscious effort to adjust her mindset, overcome her fears and the dangers, and adapt to the game. She gets stronger overall and becomes more and more resilient, cheerful, and full of smiles. I hope this gives you the feeling that even in a dangerous, high-pressure situation, a person can heal from a life of giving up. The male lead will help her, too. I hope to write something warm and healing, not depressing... (Though if the author loses it, it might get depressing.) Sorry about this. At first I wrote the female lead as not very ambitious, but seeing that readers couldn't accept it and found it a bit upsetting, I changed some things and tried to make her more positive. The road is very long. If she starts out going too fast, she might not be able to keep it up, so she decides to maintain a steady pace, not too fast, and preserve the last bit of her health. Since the rewards are the same for anyone outside the top 2,000, she doesn't want to overexert herself to fight for ranking. It's not worth it, and it would affect her recovery the next day. (At this point, many readers can't accept it and want to crack a whip!) Things like trading and getting a haircut only take a few finger movements and don't affect her pace. She calculates how much energy to save for the road. She's decided the rewards are the same at this stage, so she doesn't want to exhaust herself fighting for a higher rank. She chooses not to compete and uses her energy elsewhere. She can still finish the route. ...Even though she knows it might be better to save her energy, she still wants to try things out and experience them. As long as she saves enough energy to finish the route, she won't be eliminated. Why shouldn't she try new things when her life isn't in danger? The story is a bit adventurous, and the female lead shows signs of wanting to give up. She's not proactive, and she may not be likable. If you don't like it, please don't flame me. I'll fix it! I'll fix it! Crack that whip and make her run! People who speed up right away during a long-distance run often can't keep it up. Just finishing the race is already a win over most people! A sprint is for going all out! Different situations call for different speeds! The female lead stubbornly refuses to speed up during the first few days! She doesn't want to overtax her health again! Come on, get the whip?! Suspicious look →_→ Healed by the whip! If you have questions, dear readers, you can look carefully at the story's setting. Maybe you'll understand if you give it a closer look. Everyone has different tastes and opinions. I'll do my best not to lose it. If this isn't to your taste, or you can't accept it, please don't bother me! The author is sensitive, so please go easy on me, lovely readers. I'm begging you in advance. Writing isn't easy. Please be understanding! I'm begging you~ Sending hearts~ I have other stories, too. Lovely readers, please check them out! Feel free to add them to your collection, or follow me as an author! Sending hearts σ)σ People all have different standards and opinions. This female lead has her own ideas, and I'll do my best to make them clear. The story is a bit adventurous, so please don't flame me if you don't like it! If you really want to flame me, go ahead! Thank you! Please add it to your collection! Theme: Have a pleasant journey, everyone! Hee hee!
