9:45 A.M , Forest of Loranthor
In an opening in a forest, you could see a young man lying by the grass, he seems to be unconscious. Then he twitched and suddenly jolted awake.
"Arrghh! My head hurts!" he screamed. And sudden realization dawned upon him.
"Where the hell am I?" he murmured to himself, this young man is named Soren Crowmore a young man from the world called Earth where magic is nonexistent and technology reigns supreme.
Soren is a young man who lives a pretty modest life , his looks is eye-catching with his raven black hair with dark purplish highlights, his eyes are a mix of vibrant gold and dark purple.
He slowly stood up from the ground and examined his body to find any abnormalities but found none.He begins to ponder about what happened and how or why is he in a forest opening .
'As far as I remember I was walking home from my part-time job and planning to rest early and then... Right , there was this girl who was shouting for help, she was about to be...defiled...and then I got....killed....as I was trying release her from her captors.' He felt complicated feelings welling up inside him .
'How am I alive and where is this place ? Is this Heaven? Or am I in Hell? I think its the latter though since Hell wouldn't look like this.' Soren talked to himself for a while and then he decided to just let it slide for a moment.

I am Soren Crowmore , a student at Granville University, I work at a gamestop, that's how I earn money, after all I don't have any relatives.
I am now in a forest in an unknown place , and I feel odd somehow as I have been transmigrated to another world, I guess? Seems farfetched though.

[Notice: The system will start reboot in approximately 10 seconds. Please prepare for possible pain.]
At first I was confused by the fact that I heard a voice inside my head but I later realised that my situation is kind of like those transmigration stories, one where the MC gets reincarnated to another world.
Just as I finished that thought I fell to the ground, extreme pain coursed through my entire body. It feels like as if mu body is being crushed and my insides twisted around. After a significant amount of time the pain slowly dissipated.
When the pain has gone my head was flooded with a bunch of information. I slowly sorted through all the contents I learned that I was really brought to another world, one where magic and monsters are all over the world, one where danger is everywhere.
As I finished organizing the newly gained information I saw that it's already getting dark. Being in the dark in an unknown world isn't good since as far as I have learned from the system, there is always the possibility of me being attacked by monsters.
And so i decided to prepare my self. First and foremost I need to check my stats as all the other protagonists from transmigration novels do.
"Status."I said slowly.
Uh.... that's strange nothing happened. Let me try another one.
"Property." I said with hesitation for it might not work.

My stats are kind of all right, except the luck of course. Also what's with these skills? Why do I even have this much skills right off the bat? Curious as to what effect these skills has I decided to check some real quick.
[Devour (Passive/Active): Consume all things be it essence, physical and spiritual. The consumed item/essence/minerals are turned to energy, skills or bloodline. Nothing can repel Devour.
Okay this seems over the top. This particular skill already seems to benefit me a lot.
I should start moving now, it's almost night. It's best if I try to use devour on some stuff around here just to test it out.

An hour or so passed I still didn't find any settlements or signs of life anywhere. On the way, though, I found some interesting things. I found some caves and the thing is there is adamantite there. My Appraisal says that the caves are Adamantite deposits which I can utilize to my advantage.
[Silverline Adamantite](Flawless)
Description: This ore is very rare and is often used to make equipment with magic. This ore can sustain magic to increase its quality , overtime this ores can reach the Perfect state .
I used Devour on it to get some benefits . After a while I recieved a prompt.

[Successfully Devoured Silverline Adamantite(Flawless)]
You obtained Magic Sense(Perfect) , Magic Siphon ,Enhanced Spirit(Passive)!

[Due to the successful attempt in devouring a magical ore you are hereby granted Matter Manipulation (Active/Passive)]!
The effects of Devour really is something, just look at the skills it gave me. This might turn out to be not as dangerous as I thought.
I decided to try using matter manipulation. It's effects are as it's name states, you can control any type of matter. That means I'm able to freely change an object, person or monster's being, both physical body and it's spirit.
I tried it out on a boulder nearby. I tried to move it into the air, at first I didn't see any changes but I can feel that it's starting to move up after a while. And finally the boulder was flying in the air, I tried moving it around at different speeds and it was able to follow the command. After a while I decided to stop this experiment and went inside the cave to have a rest.
I altered some of the stones around to make a stone bed for me to lay down. I also started a fire to keep me warm through the night. I ate some fruits I foraged from the nearby trees and berry bushes. I also made a wall using matter manipulation so as to not be discovered and then I went to sleep.
