Before he finished his thought he woke up with a face full of sand. He lurched as he slid down the dune he was collapsed in. He dragged his way up and dusted himself off, he looked around. To the north was sand, to the east was sand and some rocks, to the west was sand, and to the south you guessed it more sand.
He blinked, thought for a second, and screamed "WHERE THE FUCK AM I".
After a long tirade and a lot of cursing, Nick finally calmed down. He started walking up the dune when he kicks something in the sand. He made a noise like squeezing tire pressure and looked down to see the book. He picked it up and opened the first page to see the table of contents, it was written in strange runes he didn't understand.
"Congratulations you have unlocked Table of Contents"
"Congratulations you have unlocked linguistic understanding"
Nick heard a voice in his head that reminded him of his late sister. He looked around to see if he actually heard someone, but there was only sand.
Well now I am going crazy he thought I am definitely crazy. The voice sounded "Congratulations you have gained mental resistance 1 and cold resistance 1, may i suggest you find shelter before the desert temperature drops further".
Nick Opened his mouth to argue with the voice, but he realized he shouldn't it wasn't his sister Adelle. The voice sounded "Is this the name you wish to give the system?" He blurted out "What?"
"The System voice is adapted to the user to synchronize for better use, you are able to name the system for further synchronization. Would you like to name the system The Adelle System" Nick was dumbfounded "Ummm, sure if it means I'm not crazy ". "Congratulations you have synchronized 46% with the system", "congratulations you have gained 1 mental resistance, you currently have 2 mental resistance".
Nick shivered it was cold and he only had pajamas a pair of socks and his jacket. He started walking he didn't know for how long.In the distance he could hear voices, unlike the Adelle system these voices were unclear and low.
