Volume 001 The Start of a New Beginning: Chapter 1 - Monotonous Days
Monday, April 1st, 2019 (7:00 AM) |
It was an ordinary school day. Rem (she has jet-black hair that goes up to her back and dark-colored eyes that look like ink) lives alone in an empty apartment and goes to school.
Key Points:
Rem Erikawa is currently a 14-year-old girl who goes to one of the best universities in the world (Earth).
She's supposedly a genius for her age.
Rem doesn't remember anything before the age of 8.
She was told that her parents died in a plane crash. Rem's mother is Sakura Erikawa. Her father is Haruto Erikawa.
Men in black suits who're sent by the government observe Rem 24/7. They watch her as if she's a monster.

Monday, April 1st, 2019 (2:33PM) |
Rays of red light appeared. Rem ran to a ray of light, only to see a huge crimson portal. From the portal came monsters who murdered everyone they saw. Rem escaped, arriving at the rooftop of her apartment.
Rem found out that she was a "Player" who had a system that allowed her to level up, cast magic, etc. She realized that what was happening now was exactly what happened in one of the games she played. That game was called "Nemmonis Online" and it was left for her by her deceased parents.
A monster climbed up the apartment, but Rem managed to kill it, gaining many levels before passing out.
(Rem's level 10.)

Volume 001 The Start of a New Beginning: Chapter 3 - Alsh*t
Saturday, July 22nd, 2023 (7:45 PM) |
Four years passed, and Rem's now 18 years old. Her hair was now up to her upper shoulders, and her body was full of scars.
(Rem's level 200.)
Rem faced all the monsters in her way, head-on, making them perish. She finally arrived at the Demon King's castle. Rem killed the Demon King in less than a minute with a skill she made on her own. However, she had to suffer from the aftermath of using that skill.
Rem noticed that after defeating the Demon King, she obtained a title that caused all her maxed stats to not be maxed anymore.
She meets Alicht, the God of Light. He admitted that he was the main cause of the monsters appearing on Earth. He said that he did that out of boredom. He then killed Rem, who swore to get her revenge one day.
Rem woke up in a dark space. She wasn't in her body. Instead, she was a black flame. She heard a robotic voice saying something about errors, viruses, and a bunch of other stuff Rem couldn't quite comprehend. Right after the system said teleporting now, she lost all her consciousness.
(A/N: I want to change the next few chapters (4-7) up a little. I haven't released them yet, but I'll be summarizing the edited version of the chapters instead of the old ones.)

Volume 001 The Start of a New Beginning: Chapter 4 - Reborn (finished creating/editing, didn't post yet)
Day 1 (3:00 AM) |
Rem woke up, bewildered. She was in a dark cave room, lying in a huge magic circle. Even though there was no light, she could see perfectly fine. On the walls of the cave were writing and drawings Rem couldn't understand. On one side was a humongous door that looked like a door to a boss room. On another side was a stream of water.
Rem couldn't remember anything except for her first name, the language she spoke (English) along with basic stuff, the day the monsters appeared, and the day she defeated the Demon King.
When Rem tried to walk to the stream of water, she realized that she wasn't in her body once again. Rem looked at her reflection in the water.
She saw a creature with soft, snowy white fur with dark, black stripes covering her back, legs, and face. These stripes made Rem look sort of like a tiger. A white tiger to be exact.
She has a pair of cat-like red eyes. In the water, her eyes seemed to glow.
Her two wolf-like ears twitched as she found it weird to be able to move her fluffy fox-like tail.
Since everything looked enormous to Rem, Rem assumed that she was probably the size of an adult cat.
Rem got her first quest (to gather all her mana to her heart) and completed it with ease, getting a random skill (called Fade) and SP (skill points) as a reward. She learned more about the system she has and received her second quest (to escape the cave).
(Rem's level 1.)

Volume 001 The Start of a New Beginning: Chapter 5 - Maze Runner (finished creating/editing, didn't post yet)
Day 1 (3:17 AM) |
Rem used her new skill, Fade, to get past the doors and walls. With Fade, she could turn herself into a shadow with the cost of some mana.
When Rem exited the cave room, she met with an enormous serpent. She was still in her shadow form, so she wasn't seen.
Rem spent an hour wandering around, taking guesses of which way the exit could be. Most of the time, she traveled in her monster form to conserve her mana. Once in a while, she had to rest but after another hour, she finally found the exit.
Rem is in a dark canyon. She couldn't see the sky or sun because of all the mist up above.
Rem received her rewards for her second quest. She got more SP (stat points) and a watch that stuck onto her left wrist. It was a hologram watch that could not be seen by anyone but Rem.
Rem then distributed her SP carefully.
(Rem's still level 1.)

Volume 001 The Start of a New Beginning: Chapter 6 - Massacre (didn't finish creating/editing yet)
Day 1 (4:24 AM) |
Rem noticed that the monsters outside the cave were low levels. She massacred all the rabbits she found. Her level is now 20. She couldn't level up anymore.
Suddenly, she got her third quest (to evolve).
Rem grinded all the materials she needed to evolve. It took her a little more than five hours to do so. Rem hid inside a large tree hole and decided to finally evolve.
———————————————————————
Volume 001 The Start of a New Beginning: Chapter 7 - Evolution (didn't finish creating/editing yet)
Day 1 (12:58 PM) |
Rem evolved. It was an extremely painful experience. Evolving felt like she was stabbed a hundred times.
Her appearance was still the same, except she had two tails instead of one. She was also slightly bigger than before. Her size was that of a 3-week-old tiger.
Rem's reward for completing the third quest was more SP, some gold, and a new skill. Her new skill, "Transformation," allows her to shift into a beastman. When she's in her beastman form, Rem has jet-black hair up to her upper shoulders, bloody red eyes, a pair of fluffy black and white wolf ears, a black and white fox tail, and many black stripes that look like that of a tiger all over her body (includes her face, arms, hands, legs, and feet as well). She's currently 5,2.
Although not being seen as a monster seems great, when Rem's in her beastman form, all her stats would decrease by half.
The system, 001, advanced from F rank to E rank. Rem unlocked the system's shop and map function.
Rem explored the shop and bought clothes and a few other items.

Volume 001 The Start of a New Beginning: Chapter 8 - Arka City
Day 1 (1:16 PM) |
Rem used her wind magic to bring her up. Even after using all her mana to bring herself as far up as she could, she still couldn't reach the top. Rem had no choice but to climb up the canyon the rest of the way in her monster form.
There were points where she could stop and rest. Climbing made Rem exhausted, but she managed to achieve it after 3 hours.
Rem rested for an hour before leaving for the closest city. After only ten minutes, she arrived at the city called Arka City.
Arka City isn't that big, but it was big enough to be called a city. There was even a castle here.
Rem got inside the city and the first place that caught her eye was the Adventurer's Guild. She registered to be an adventurer, but couldn't. She could only get the Adventurer's card if she was above the age of 18 or had graduated from school.
Fano, the guild master, helped Rem by sending a recommendation letter to the principal of Starim Academy and helping Rem register for the entrance exams. The entrance exams have three parts (written, strength, and magic). To get into this school, Rem had to pass the entrance exams by herself. The entrance exam is tomorrow at 7:00 AM.
Rem then took a rest at an inn.
