I suddenly felt a cool breeze on my skin. "That's weird... didn't I die already?"
I opened my eyes. There was a medium sized, average looking tree above my head.
It was morning. I could hear birds chirping. The air smelt earthy and fresh, a smell I haven't properly smelled in months.
"what the hell... where'd all this... nature come from?", I thought to myself.
I was still lying on the ground. Then I suddenly realized, my hands weren't connected to tubes and wires! My body felt light! My lungs, which felt uncomfortable whenever I breathed, was feeling completely fine! My whole body... felt HEALTHY!!!
I was dumbfounded. "How...?", I said out loud. This made me even more astonished. "wait a minute, I don't sound like that?...!", "WHAT THE F*CK?!", I shouted. 'My' voice sounded a lot deeper and smoother. It was so deep in-fact, that while talking, I could actually feel my voice box vibrating.
"what is happening...?", as soon as I asked this question out loud, a black-tinted panel with golden borders popped up in front of me. I was so shocked, that I couldn't even express it.
There was some text written in gold on the black, translucent panel. It said:
[Query Received.]
[FP Required: 0]
[Answer to Query, "what is happening": You Have Been 'Reincarnated' into world_no.2413, 'Arcadia', from world_no.627, 'Earth'.
This System has been given to you by the 'Order' as a 'Guide'. This system is exclusive to 'Otherworlders', such as yourself. It will display your status and your strengths. It can also be used to ask 'Queries'. 'Queries' have 'Levels' that determine the value of the 'Query'. The Higher the 'Level', the more 'FP(Fame Points)' you will require to access it'. 'FP(Fame Points) can be Acquired by doing difficult tasks and performing certain 'Actions' in the world']
My head was in a mess. "Reincarnated...?", I asked myself. This was completely bonkers!
But I quickly gathered all my thoughts, and decided to test out the most important thing.
"Can I stand up and walk?"
I got up from the ground and sat. Then, I pushed myself up with both my hands, and even my legs.
I was standing. I was quite tall. Maybe around 6'5 ft? Then I picked up my right leg, and took a step.
Then, I took another step, and another, and another, and another, and another, and another...
I felt something warm and tingly running down my cheek. I checked with my hands. It was water.
I was crying. Tears were flowing non-stop from my eyes, down my cheeks. Then, I completely gave up on holding back the tears.
I cried for a good 10 minutes. After it was over, I felt quite embarrassed about the whole thing. And then, finally it hit me. I JUST GOT REINCARNATED INTO ANOTHER WORLD!
I then read the whole thing on the panel again. I grasped the basic concept. So I tried the good ol' webtoon mc's words. "Status"
[Status Screen]
[Name: Xavier]
[Race: Arch-Human(Variant) {->}]
[STR: 6]
[STM: 7]
[CON: 6]
[INT: 254]
[WIS: 0]
[MAG: 0]
[FP(Fame Points): 0]
[Title(s): Otherworlder{Total Immunity to soul-type magic};]
"Whoa! What's with the INT?! Why is it so much higher than others?!", I asked.
[Query Received]
[FP(Fame Points) Required: 0]
[Answer to 'Query': You are from a world there intelligence reigns as the supreme power. World_no.627, 'Earth', was one of the most advanced worlds in terms of technology, intelligence, and civilization. You have knowledge that would be considered 'World-Class' in this world, because your knowledge can change this world drastically. BE CAUTIOS WHILE USING YOUR KNOWLEDGE!]
"So this world's civilization is far less advanced than Earth...?", I concluded. This explained more than just me high INT, it also explained why my MAG and WIS is 0. Its because, I have no Magic Power and I don't have any wisdom related to this world.
"Haha... this is just like starting another souls-like game!... This is gonna be fun!", I exclaimed.
