"mhmm?….", I woke up from my slumber, my head felt heavy, and my body was weirdly light. As I lifted myself off of the ground, but I couldn't feel it, like I had lost perception of balance and touch, I rubbed my forehead. I only had a sense of self. I tried to remember something;
'Ah yes! How can I forget! All that mess because of those terrorists, and in the end, I was shot, and I died? Well that's what I think should've happened. But I'm alive! I was rescued probably!
Where am I now?' I looked around while thinking.
"Am I in hospital…? Eh?…ehhhhhh?!" I panicked as I saw nothing around me. It was all dark, no lights? But I tried to observe more intensely.
'Wait!' I could see some glittering lights far above, but I rubbed my cloudy eyes for better clarity and I saw stars all above me, everywhere! A starry sky, which I never saw in my entire life! It felt too close! And so captivating! Those pictures from the internet seemed fake right now. The NASA visuals of space were not even close real to this.
And as I came back from those admiring thoughts, hitting myself on the head, I attempted to find where I was right now.
'It's nighttime, mhmm…also, the ground is dry and rocky. Mountains... dessert? Argh!!!! Where the fu** am I!!? Did someone leave me in the desert? Why? The heck!?'
I tried to stand up, but I couldn't, it's like I didn't have a limb in the first place. I also don't feel anything around... Not only that, but I wasn't even breathing….??, what's happening here…?
["DING! , You have 20+ logs and 1 new message"]
'I was startled hearing that ding! Sound, but where did it come from? Are there people around?'
"Hey! Anybody there? Help! Hey! Can someone hear me? I need help, hello?"
I yelled for around 5 minutes, but nobody answered. I thought it was a prank because I clearly heard a sound about notifications, but then why is no one coming out?
While I was stressing out, I saw a blue notification icon in the upper-right corner of my eyes, and my reaction was;
"What the 'F' is that?" I move my sight around.
"Hey! It's moving along my sight, is it, is it a lens or something?", but then what can I do with it? Is that why the sound resounded in my head?
'Is it a hologram? I can't move! How can I touch it? It's not like I have a system of some sort like you see in manga and novels such that if I think of opening it, it will open by itself'. While thinking of it, I naturally imagined it opening. And then it opened.
"Yup! It opened."
"Oh my god! Do I really have a system? Isn't it seen when someone dies and reborn but then why… .is…it.…"
"...Sh*t...."
"Now that I think about it, I might be dead. Of course, I am! Ah! fuck! YEAH, how could I even think of surviving? I was literally shot dead… sigh.
Well, let's leave it at that. It's a relief that Rena should be safe now. Thinking about It, I was quite stupid to die for a girl, right? Well, she was my only friend, so it's alright....hmmmm? By the way, quite of a heroic feat, I accomplished, hahaha...pathetic.
I'm miserable, I pity myself. I waited, I waited to confess to her for 4 years, but look at me now, I'm in another world now, or I don't know…. Somewhere? .....
.....
…
"Hah! Let's see what those logs and notifications are about…" I look at the transparent screen in front of me, and after reading the logs, I pretty much understood what had happened. "So, the system sealed my soul then brought me here, with no physical body, and…the notification says;
["Asking permission from the host to commence further necessary actions..."]
'Hmm, well, I do need to survive. I don't even know where I am. So, without wasting a second, I think in my head:
"Permission granted to the system"
["DING! , permission for commencing further actions received.....commencing..... Opening WILL;
-------------------------------------------------------
HEY THERE!
SO, I BELIEVE THAT YOU GOT MY PRESENT, AS FOR YOUR CURIOSITY I AM… WELL…, I DON'T THINK YOU NEED TO KNOW, YOU WILL GET YOUR ANSWERS EVENTUALLY.
NOW BACK TO THE TOPIC. YOU WERE IDEAL FOR MY GOAL, SO YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN BY THE SYSTEM.
DON'T FRET, IT'S NOTHING TOO BIG, YOU JUST HAVE TO LIVE YOUR LIFE, AS YOU WISH.
THO, YOU WILL HAVE TO COMPLETE A TASK IN RETURN FOR MY GIFT.
IF YOU ARE READING THIS, I MIGHT HAVE ALREADY DIED, BUT DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, WHEN YOU ARE STRONG ENOUGH, THE SYSTEM WILL GIVE YOU THAT TASK BY ITS OWN.
TILL THAT DAY, I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR NEW LIFE.

[" End of the message left by 'xxxxxx', commencing further actions...., wait a moment....."]
'Hmmm... Leaving most of it aside, he said I can live my life as I wish, till I'm strong enough to complete that task, and I'm fine by that. I'm good, no problem.
I'm grateful for his help, but I don't think I have any intention of helping any stranger….and As he said, I will live my life my way till then.
First, I need info, info about this world, this place, and this system (as I was thinking about where to find the answers)
[" Host is currently in a sealed state as a soul.]

'Ah, so, it's the same world? Well, that's not bad, but I'm in Alpha Centauri-(A) star system Han? Well, I think it's the second-closest star system to the sun solar system, right? '
'So, this planet is yet to be discovered, maybe? Well, what do I want to do now is, as I'm not the type of guy who will go adventuring into space after this type of situation, I want to go back.'
'Oh! And as for some salt on my wounds… I also died a virgin, well possibly I still have a second chance. Yeah! I know what I'm going to do, yes! I will go back and confess to Rena, of course, with the help of the system! Well, it should be able to help me, right? (gulp)… man, I don't want to die here, ALONE'
[System stabilized…, do you want to personalize system interface according to your preferences and understanding?
•The system will automatically find the most suitable elements which can be easily understood by the host.]
'Of course, yes!' I thought instantly, as I need MY type of system. You can understand, right?
[Personalizing..., wait a moment…, Ding! System functions remake complete…
Analyzing stats necessary according to host's preference …., Ding! Successful placement of stats complete…, options relocation successful.
Do you wish to see the new system panel and stats?]
'Oh, hell yeah!', it's getting more and more exciting, I said in my head.

'Seeing this information and game-like interface, it felt familiar.'
"Hahaha. I'm so excited, I can't stop smiling. Oh, man, I'm grinning like a joker now."
'So, my first mission is to remake my physical body, and the reward is…, 10 C.P', "what's that?", I asked.
[C.P stands for COSMOS POINTS, which can be used for various options like upgrading systems, buying - resources, weapons, buildings, machines, etc.]
'Oh, cosmos points, was it? Is it some kind of currency or is it related to space energy and stuff…?, huff…, whatever.'
