I remembered what happened to me lately, I fell off a cliff and when I woke up. I`m already in this isolated forest where I can only see countless of trees, my body is lying under a shade of a tree.
My name is Ryunosuke Kuga, I have no friends, or even a family that supported me and I`m also an otaku so maybe that`s the reason why they don't want to be with me.
I am not panicked and I will accept the fact that I died, but why am I here? In this place? I thought it`s going to be heaven or for sure hell.
I shouted (Is anybody here?!), birds that rested above the trees started to fly away and suddenly I heard a voice of a young girl who`s age is still like 15.
{Welcome user, you don't have a name registered please name yourself}.
I was stunned for a while, her voice was refreshing and tender, I keep looking around but there is no one there.
(Name? What is this about?).
I asked her but she replied.
{Would you like to name yourself "What is this about"?}
I was stunned again and I of course replied NO!
{Would you like to name yourself "NO"?}
Damn! (Name me Ryu Haruto!).
Ryu means Dragon: ιΎ and Haruto means 倩ηΏ: Soar to Heavens.
{Name registered, my name is System I will be your assistant from now and I will help you with the best of my abilities}.
So it`s like in a game? I remembered that systems are mostly used In MMORPG games. I was still a little bit confused so I asked her.
(System? Do you know where I am right now?).
{You are in a forest called Harquet Woods}.
The system that I have is different from the games I played, she is smart and speaks like a real human, lately thou she pisses me off because of renaming myself.
(Hey system? Was I reincarnated in another world?)
The reason why I ask her about this was because mostly in novels. If you die and the cause was a truck or a killer and you suddenly wake up in an unknown place, this is what Otakus called "The legendary transport to another world" thou I died by falling off a cliff, maybe it still counts.
{Yes, and for an unknown reason}.
Well? That is not a decent answer! I was expecting "You have to save this world from the Demon lord!" or "You are summoned to become a hero or something"
(System? Am I the only one in this world with a system?)
Seriously her name confuses me.
{Affirmative! But you can see their levels to be at your advantage, if you see that a monster or a person that is stronger than you, you can obviously avoid it right? Maybe your smart enough to do that}.
So I can see their levels but they don't know that they have levels? Really it confused me, but well it can help me survive for a little.
(System? Can I talk to you by using only my mind?)
{Yes! I don't want my user talking to the air and let the people think his crazy}
Well she has a point, this system is really different. She has emotions as well.
(System call me Ryu from now on okay?)
{Okay, Ryu? I will shortly explain this to you, this world is full of monsters and there is a job that is called adventurer. You can register yourself in a Guild and you can accept quests. Some other jobs are Blacksmith, cook, tailoring and so on}
Straight to the point?! So this world is like the medieval times and worst there is no Internet!
(Why are you telling me about this?)
{I studied and analyze your brain, you dreamed about this right}
I was shocked for a moment when she said she analyzed my brain, what if she will peak deeper parts in my mind? And she will see something that can corrupt her mind!
(So? I can't hide anything from you huh, just don't peek deeper parts in my brain or else you will see something that is not good for your eyes, if you have one or two)
I stood up then patted my butt to clean of the dirt, I stretched my arms because of feeling numbness and also I am thirsty.
(System? Is there a source of water nearby?)
{Yes! There is a river here, walk towards east you will arrive their 3 minutes by now}
I quickly listened to her and quickly went to the east. Seriously this forest have so many trees and some are four times taller and larger compared to the trees in earth.
When I heard the stream of water flowing, I quickly rushed and finally saw the river. At the side of the river I kneeled but I immediately stopped. What I saw in the reflection from the river`s water was not my appearance from earth.
I have gray hair and blue eyes, my face was feminine but you can also call it handsome. I am happy by my new appearance. I feel a little bit sad because of my real appearance was gone or that face doesn't deserve to live, at least I`m still alive again and only the outside of me changed.
{Hey! Ryu? Are you crying? It`s okay to squeal and cry like a girl, no one is around you right now}
I was really about to cry, but system was teasing me. At least I have found a new friend thou she will not appear in real life but at least, we are connected in mind and heart.
(Okay, I will drink now)
{You have absorbed water, your affinity and resistance to water rises}
It stunned me for a while, I only drink the water from the river. I regained my posture then ask her.
{You have two unique skill ABSORB and ANALYZE, absorb can be used as passive or active while analyze need to be casted}
From the words itself it means everything I absorb, it will be mine, the skills or its attributes and if I use analyze I can see through people and enemies level. This skills is not what they call cheat. It is Godlike!
{Ryu, you are still level zero. You can only use water arrows and water spears for now}
It`s okay for me, I don't have any problems about it. This forest is large so I want to try to level up. I will not die from the environment but instead, I will die because of boredom.
I stood up and roam in this isolated forest that I am in, still wearing my school uniform, it's a little bit uncomfortable for me to run. What I noticed was my body became lighter and tougher, even though I`m still level 0.
For how many minutes of roaming, I spotted a group of monsters, I quickly use ANALYZE.
"Forest Shakalaka"
Level 2
The forest Shakalaka were small, they are humanoid creatures with green skin. They wearing a mask over their heads at all times, so their true faces are unknown. Their elements were Sleep and poison. Weakness Ice. Skills Bounce Bombs and Sleep Bombs.
I am lucky to have the water element, it closely resembled so maybe it can deal damage not less that ice!
I started to do a battle stance and charge towards the monsters.
