'Huh? Where am I?'
'What am I doing here?'
Ernest tried to remember what happened. Suddenly, a big amount of information surging in his mind.
After digesting the information he received he sighed.
'Sigh. I was dead huh. I wonder how's Mom and Dad? I hope they are fine without me.'
He feels sad as he could imagine how broken his parents' hearts about his death.
After mourning for a while, he tried to figure out about his current situation.
'It's too dark here. Where is this? I can't see anything.'
He tried to open his eyes but can't. He then tried to talk but to no avail, he can't talk too.
'Seems like I can only think in my mind and I didn't have a body.'
'Is this an afterlife? Where the dead people would go? But, why I can't see anyone here?'
'What to do now?'
While Ernest was contemplating about what to do, he saw a light flickering a distance away.
'What's that light? Huh? Why it seems to be moving? And it's getting... bigger??'
The light suddenly moved towards him and almost blinding Ernest though he only has a sense but no eyes.
'Ouch! My eyes!!' in a comical manner.
The light engulfed him and brought him to somewhere far away.
At that moment, he feels that he was moving at a very high speed but not sure where the light would take him.
The light slowed down and he feels that his surrounding became much brighter forcing him to shut his sense.
After some time, he got his sense back. This time, he could feel that he has a body. He tried to open his eyes but a sudden burst of light made him closed his eyes back. He then slowly opened his eyes so he can adapt.
He tried to look at his hand but got a heart attack the moment he saw it.
'T-T-T-This?!!! Why is my hands are small like a baby's hand??!!!'
He was shocked when he saw his cute little hands and the fact that he was a baby now.
After that, he tried to move his body. But all he can do is making his hands and legs up. He got frustrated.
'Oh! there's something here.'
He feels like there something on his chest and tried to have a look at it. It's a ring necklace and there's a small words engraved on it. He takes a good look at it.
'What's this? I can't read these words but it seems so familiar but what is it? Forget it.'
He throws this thought at the back of his mind.
He then realized that there's no one to see him. He began to look at his surrounding but all he can see a beautiful blue sky. His nose then picked up a very familiar smell and it's the smell of seawater.
He feels a bad premonition.
'Don't tell me I'm in the middle of the sea?'
'D*mn d*mn d*mn, f*ck my luck, holy sh*t!!!!'
He then let out some profanities though his baby mouth let out a cute, "Nya ah auh nya guuuu" noise.
He was feeling lost because he don't know what to do. And what a baby can even do in this situation? Crying?
'D*mn, what did I even do to deserve this?'
He felt like crying. So, he can only stare at the vast beautiful blue sky.
'Sigh, where's my goldfinger? I didn't even have a raincarnator privilege.'
*Ding
[Correction host, you do have a goldfinger.]
'Is it? Then where is i- W-w-wait... What and who?'
Ernest subconsciously asked but then realized that there's someone or rather a mechanical voice who answering his question.
*Ding
[I am a system based on some of the host's memory.] the mechanical voice replied.
'A system? Like in the novels?'
*Ding
[Yes host.]
Ernest, of course, know what is a system. He too read lots of novels about a protagonist who has a system accompanying their journey. He was very excited as he knew a system can make you more powerful or something.
'Then system, what kind of system are you and what can you do?'
*Ding
[I am a system that the host created before dying, Super Talent System. As for what I can do, I have STATUS, INVENTORY, AND SHOP. You can access it just by thinking in your mind.]
'Okay, I got it. Status.'
*Ding

----------------------------------------------------------------
He looked at his spirit power with some confusion.
'System, what's going on with my spirit power?' he asked the system.
[Because the host's soul just experienced a reincarnation process which resulted in an increase in the host's spirit power.] the system replied.
'Okay. What is an average spirit power for adult people?'
[An adult has 10 spirit power.]
'Hmmm... it must be related to intelligence.'
He then asked about the STS point.
'System, what's this STS point and how to get it?'
[STS point is a system's SHOP currency. To earn an STS point, the host must get a negative energy.]
'Okay. I got it.'
After a while, he realized that he's still in the middle of the sea.
Gruuuuuu...
He feels hungry as there was no one to feed him. He asked the system, 'System, is there something I can eat?'
[Host, please check INVENTORY.]
'Inventory.'
*Ding
INVENTORY

'Oh! Starter package, open it.'
*Ding
Opening starter package... Congratulation host for receiving [Fusion Stone]-5, [Haki], [Rokushiki Manual], [Milk].
'Holy sh*t! This is awesome. Haki and Rokushiki. Hahahahaha...'
Ernest was astonished when he received this notification. But he realized that this could mean...
