I died, those were the last thoughts that I, Raven who carried the name Nero, had.
After a lifetime of struggling with fighting the Nero Virus and its manifestation, the undead and the mutants, dying while fighting till the last moment with the last few remaining humans on Earth gave me honor and glory even though I know those two things are useless in death.
I accepted it rather calmly, to my surprise.
My consciousness and senses are falling into darkness.
Ah... So this is death...
Huh?

Huh?
Something touched my finger.
What was that?
A rock?
Smells like grass?
I hear... Leaves rustling.
It's getting brighter.
He slowly opened his eyes and found himself in an area surrounded by vegetation. He was sitting on a stone throne.
'I am alive?' he thought to himself as he couldn't believe that he was alive because just a moment ago he was sure his body got pierced by sharp claws of a mutant and he fell unconscious.
He examined himself and found out the the body he currently possesed is of a teenager. It seemed to be roughly Nineteen years old and bore a slight resemblance to his original self before he got scars on it. He was wearing a tattered green t-shirt and purple pants.
Suddenly, he realized that there was an additional silver ring on his left pinky. It was clearly not something that belonged to him. He tried as hard as he could to take it off, but it was to no avail. Not only that, but when he rubbed the surface of the ring, a touchable virtual screen like a hologram suddenly appeared.

'What is this?' he asked himself.
He was confuse and got a lot of questions to ask, but nonetheless he still clicks the see more button as he was curious what inside of it.
Then the virtual screen change its contents. He saw himself with a black background in a small vertical rectangle, whatever he do in reality is getting reflected on the small screen. Beside himself there is 3 by 3 small boxes and above it was a named [Crafting].
Below them all was 4 by 9 column and row of similar size empty boxes.

Inventory?
Crafting??
Blueprints and items???
Raven wondered for a while as he slowly digest the information you had read. He summarize the phenomenon that befall him after he was just woken up.
He got killed in battle and all he knows that humanity on Earth is gone. He miraculously got reincarnated into an unknown alternate world and he obtained an virtual screen similar to hologram and it called itself a system that may help him realize his dreams and goals. Furthermore, the holographic blue screen floating in front of him disappeared after he rubbed the surface of the ring again.
...
After he close the system virtual screen. He got up from sitting at the broken stone throne and pick up a random stick. He sharpened the stick using his old methods when he was still on Earth. He rub the point of the stick against the stone slab under his feet.
After a while of grinding the stick it sharpened and ready to use as a weapon against unknown enemies that he may encounter in this unknown place.
He started scouting the are once again and saw broken walls that are surrounded and coated by vegetation.
He saw something like a wooden door that only one side is barely standing. He walk towards the door, the door was massive as the size of almost 15 meters tall and he examine it. He saw a bunch of runes carved within the door.
'This might be the letters and language of inhabitants of this world.' Raven thought.
He decided to walk outside the ruined door. Then, he saw skeletons lying down on the ground getting swallowed nature. The skeletons are unusually massive, if were alive they were most likely 10 meters tall giants. Their skulls are human like, but it seems they have 4 arms like the intelligent mutants foe, the only Ruler who died by their hands.
On that thought he remembered what happened to him from his previous life. He check his emotions and found nothing.
Huh?
I don't feel anything? Rage? Despise? Anger?
It seems I already moved on the moment I regain my consciousness?
'!!!'
Not long after he arranged his scattered thoughts, a rustling sound could be heard on the bushes on his east side.
He point his wooden Spear towards the bush where the rustling sound came from. Then, moments later a giant rabbit pop out of the bushes. A giant rabbit at the size of 3 feet with 1 horn on its forehead. 1 foot long horn is sticking out on its forehead.
'A rabbit with a horn!?' he gasp of surprise. He never seen one even with all the unusually happening on Earth.
The rabbit look cute and innocent specially when it was just appeared with a bit of grass on its mouth.
'That rabbit looks harmless.' Raven thought and let his guard down. Just as he thought of that. The innocent rabbit suddenly charge at him with its pointing horn at the unusual speed!
'!!!'
Fortunately, he acted quickly and dodge the charging rabbit causing it to pierced the rock located where he was before. The rock crumbled and the rabbit broke free and was preparing for its second charge. Not long after, the rabbit charged again and Raven dodge it again, but this time the rabbit hit the tree causing it to be stuck again and this time it seems it got get out as the tree didn't get destroyed like the rock before.
Raven walk towards the giant rabbit and lift up his wooden spears and stabbed the giant rabbit causing its death.

'The shop has been added to the main interface.' he thought.
'I gained 20 experience points and only experience points is acceptable as currency to the system. If I hunt another 4 horned-rabbit I should be able to buy 1 language. Those beast are stupid enough, If I just dodge their attack and If am lucky again they might implant themselves into something again and I will deliver them into their death.' Raven thought as he roaming the area for a possible another horned-rabbit.
