(POV Cain Khalar)
In front of my vision a black screen appeared with two options, accept and reject, nothing else.
"What is this?" I said as I looked at the black screen that seemed to move along with his vision.
I reached out my hand to touch it, I felt a cold screen-like matter for a fraction of a second before my hand went through as if it were ethereal.
Am I in an illusion? I don't think so, I have a refined soul in a way that it's impossible to fall into an illusion.
"Interesting" I kept trying to touch the black screen and a couple of minutes later discovered that I could only touch it if I was really willing to, otherwise my hand would just go through it.
'Accept' When I tapped the accept option, a title appeared in white letters at the top.
"System" I read aloud, according to information gathered by the previous body, systems always have a name, why does mine have absolutely nothing?
I went ahead to tap the characters on the screen.
The words exploded in a blue shower which then rearranged themselves, creating an elaborate blue design around the edges of the screen, before other words began to appear on the screen.
{Status}
{Skills}
{Store}
{Inventory}
Okay, now we're getting somewhere, I quickly reached out my hand to the screen and tapped {Status}... nothing happened, then I tapped {Skills}, but nothing happened either.
Maybe it came up failed? Since it doesn't have any name, maybe it came with some problem, I don't really care much, there's not much point for me to continue this life, I don't know anyone in this world, the only person I love doesn't exist, so it's only left to commit suicide.
But I have no cultivation in this body, the previous owner did not awaken any ability to be a hunter, so I studied at the university and started to work in an entertainment company.
Let's leave a little suicidal thought, let's see if I can get something out of the system, or it just came wrong.
I tapped the next option {Store}, as I expected nothing happened, I went to the last option {Inventory}, when I tapped it, the screen changed to show rows and columns of empty squares.
I touched one of the squares, and my hand disappeared as if it was swallowed by the vacuum, really the one who made the system has a lot of strength, in order to achieve something related to the vacuum must be at another level of the crop.
So this system is a waste, other than being able to store things in the inventory, the rest is useless.
Sighing heavily, I took the pack of cigarettes that was on a small table and started smoking while looking at the window. Apparently I picked up some habits from the previous body, in my previous world there was no cigarette, from what I see it is a very destructive substance for human beings, although not for someone with a high cultivation.
[Good morning Mr. Cain, I am the assistant to manage this system, sorry for the failures earlier].
'Mm, no need to apologize, explain to me about the assistant system' I said mentally, while I kept smoking and looking out the window, without any concern that I was hearing a voice in my head all of a sudden.
[Understood, first of all, my name is Alejandro, I will accompany you in this new life of yours. As you may have already noticed, I have all of your memories, therefore, I am much more efficient in helping you].
'Mm' I simply nodded, as I continued with the cigarette in my mouth and went to prepare a coffee.
[First of all, to unlock the {Status}, {Skills}, {Shop} options you'll need to do an initial mission, would you like to hear it?]
'Let's hear it' I said mentally, although I still had thoughts about committing suicide, to see if I could finally rest in peace and see Seol-ran.
[Your first mission is to adopt the future calamity of this world, this world is like any other, there are villains, heroes or children of the world as they are usually called in stories, even in your previous world it was like that, you were just a simple extra that went off script].
'Oh, amazing' I was really surprised, it seems I managed to get out of the bonds of destiny so to speak, how did I do it?
[Answering your question, it was thanks to an anomaly in that 'Seol-ran' world.]
My eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing that, only to let out a big smile, you really were always special, weren't you?
'You can go on with the explanation of the mission Alexander'
[Understood, your mission is to adopt her and raise her as you wish, it doesn't matter if she is still the calamity or not, there really isn't any purpose in adopting her. To give you more information, she is currently in Greece, when you get there, I will be able to give you in detail where she is, any more questions Cain?]
'Yes, one question Alexander, since you know how I lived my former life, aren't you worried that I ended my life?'
[I knew you would ask that question Cain, to answer your question, I'll just say one thing.]
As I took a sip of my coffee, Alexander's next words left me in total shock and excitement.
[Seol-ran is currently in this world.]

(On a plane over Greece)
"Please fasten your seat belts as we are about to begin our descent into the city of Athens" A beautiful stewardess said to a man looking out the window, snapping him out of his thoughts.
"Oh, okay" He replied as he flashed her a small smile while buckling his seat belt.
[What were you thinking that you had to have the stewardess come in personally to get you out of your thoughts?] Alejandro asked.
'Not much... I was just thinking a bit about the past' He replied as he looked out the window again at the blue sky and the city of Athens.
