As an emotionless and ethereal voice Resounded through the minds of billions of people on barth, people were Unexplainably Dumbfounded and in shock from this unnatural phenomenon. In a single New York-size rented room located in the Vibrant city of Eastern Dragon Nation, our protagonist Haruto Li was about to give glock glock treatment to his popsicle when he was abruptly jolted by the voice. His mind was momentarily left in a state of Confusion.
Without warning, a flash of rainbow light engulfed him, and he was thrown out of the planet's Exosphere together with billions of different light particles, some being rainbow, white, pink, and many more colors into a nearby black hole in space that appeared out of nowhere and disappeared after that quickly.
After the glow had Disappeared, he found himself standing in a small wooden house. The humble Dwelling was Rustic, with a dirt floor, stained wooden walls, and a cramped space devoid of any furniture, It all could be described as being completely bare.
"Welcome to starting village #844*2. Each starting village has an initial population of 2,000. A neutral emotionless voice spoke.
"You are now in the starter house" the voice continued
"Reminder: The starter house is blessed by heaven and no one can enter it without your permission."
"Reminder: Resting in the starter house gives you a buff that doubles your recovery"
"Reminder: You can now use the MENU....."
Suddenly, a Torrent of information Overwhelmed Haruto Li's mind. In an instant, a transparent icon materialled in the corner of his eye. He mentally clicked the icon that presented him with two options which appeared in the top left corner: [Personal Stats] and [Chat room]. Without a second thought, he willed his stats to appear.
[NAME]: Haruto Li
[LEVEL]: Level 1 (0/100)
[SKILL]: acting(D)
[EVALUATION]: suppressed emotions, rank 0
.....
After a Comprehensive Analysis of his stats and his surroundings (hut), he knew it all had to be real or it had to be a strong dr*g for him to hallucinate. After all, as it is said in his supposed evaluation his emotions are dulled. It happened because he was dropped on his head during childbirth by the doctor, and although no damage was shown it affected the emotional part of his brain. He does feel his emotion but it is dull and is not affected by them and can rationally think all the time because of it.
After once again checking his surroundings, he opened the second option The Chat room, which was already buzzing with activity.
The avatars of many people were blinking, each displaying their original looks without any modifications. The person's name and age were shown under each avatar. Li's avatar projected his average appearance, one you forget after taking one look. His age showing 29 clearly marked under his name.
However, he wasn't interested in people's appearance. His attention was on the reactions of people who were in the chats. At this moment, people were displaying different responses to this situation.
At the moment, seeing such vivid reactions. He was leaning to believe that this all is real.
"I'm in a small wooden house and I'm so scared! If this is a prank then this is not funny anymore, I want to go back!"
" I can't believe it! We're in a new world, remaining things it said are concerning, still, this is a dream come true!"
"Wow, this is the adventure of a lifetime! My time has come. I shall become the god. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahah…"
"**sigh* Just what we need in this situation is an asylum patient."
" I AM NOT A ASYLUM PATIENT I AAAMM a sigma."
" *sigh* Now I know why your father went for the milk and never came back."
" *surprised Pikachu face* How do you know."
...
" Does anyone have any clues about all this bullshit, Is it true or am I hallucinating it."
" THE JUGEMENT DAY HAS ARRIVED. REPENT FOR ALL YOUR SINS."
" Hmm reminds me of my college days when we used to prank our sleeping friend by pissing, cumming, and shitting on him. And then packing his a** in a box, sealing it with duck tape, and shipping him to Florida. Do not know why that place but it was always Florida."
" WAIT WHAT DID YOU DO DURING COLLAGE????"
"I knew it! The government has been secretly playing with alien technology. We're the guinea pigs! Or we are given as a sacrifice to aliens by the government!"
"How did they teleport us? What type of technology & energy did they use? Could this be related to quantum? Or is it entirely a different Method."
" I'm a bit freaked out right now. what the voice said, is it true? Do I have to kill others to go back to my home?"
"There is no need to freak out. Take deep and slow breaths and calm down. we can work together to think of some solution."
" This is amazing a new world. Wish I had my canvas with me right now. would have captured the entire new scenery in it."
"Waaah~! I haven't even had a boyfriend yet! I want to lose my virginity, I want to get married and have children. I don't want to die!"
"Hmph you are continuing patriarchy even in the new world. We should take this opportunity to finally get rid of men and start our only women civilization. We can achieve our potential now that we are not oppressed by the patriarchy."
"Again girls&guys, don't panic, we may not die. Let's first check our stats as given by the information that is stuffed in our brains. My evaluation states rank 0, is it the same for others?"
"I'm also 0 rank"
"0 rank here too!"
"It seems everyone has the same Evaluation"
"Not me! I'm at peak 0 Rank, just one step away from next rank"
"Hey upstairs, how come you're already at the peak? What are your strength, agility, constitution, and mind indices?"
"My strength is 10, agility is 6, constitution is 7, and mind is 3."
"Strength 10! I only have 5 points of strength, you're twice as strong as me."
"Wow, Bro your stats in the first three indexes are so Majestic! I'm going to stick to your thigh from now on."
"You're very generous. I'm Wei Xie a devoted boxing enthusiast, my training mainly centers on strengthening my body, leading to a somewhat elevated index."
"Everyone, according to Brother Xie's stats, it seems that to increase the rank, we need to increase our stats."
"Yeah, thank you Mr. Captain Obvious, How could we understand this profound truth without you guiding us in the right direction?..... But seriously I am jealous of Xie so much! He's already near the next rank."
Li looked at all the chats and got a general gist of the situation. It seems that even though people are confused and panicking no one is naïve enough to share their exact stats and their skills.
It seems that rank is related to overall stats and it seems that to enter the next rank overall stats should be around 30 or each stat should be around 10. However, it requires more experimentation to know the exact details or if they are true at all.
At the moment, most should have average stats of around 5 in at least 2 indexes, with few exceptions who have enough stats (around 10 in 3 indexes) to have the evaluation of peak rank 0.
As he was looking at the screen and experimenting with the menu, he found out that the chat room icon was only showing the starter village #844*2 and world chat which was greyed out. Maybe it requires a certain level of strength or some other requirements to open or it will automatically open after some time.
He didn't put much thought into it and once again looked over his stats. His strength, agility, and constitution each had a value of 4,4,6 respectively, which should be because of him always being in a sea of books or in an Obscure corner of the internet for more knowledge as it is one of the few things that excites him. Due to this he only does minimum exercise to keep his body relatively fit and healthy.
But by far his highest index is mind with an astonishing 13.2 points. Looking at the chats, the highest mind stats that someone is willing to share is that of 6, At least it is what they are saying. There could be someone with more in mind stat than him but since no one is flaunting it He couldn't be sure, Still, he should be on the upper list of having the most points in mind.
At that moment, the voice of heaven resounded in everyone's mind again.
[Announcement: In a few moments, you will be given a randomized gift for entering the realm for the first time and to give you a chance to achieve your dreams. ]
[Reminder: Skills are divided into nine levels: F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS. Each level is further divided into three sections -, =, +. The higher the skill the higher its power and the more unique it is]
[Reminder: Almost all things follow the same leveling system with few exceptions.]
[Reminder: To maintain the balance in the realm, anyone receiving powerful gifts will also be subjected to a random curse. The more potent the gift, the more potent the curse.]
As soon as the news came out, the chat room once again Teeming with action.
"Oh my god! We're finally going to get our own golden fingers."
"I am so excited! I don't know what I'll get but hope it's something useful."
"Yeah! I'm also worried that I'll get something trash"
"Hello sorry for disturbing you, What do the reminders exactly mean"
"Heh, are you some old geezer that is living under some rock that you can't even understand this simple message thrown directly in your head by the voice?"
" I apologize for disturbing you I was burying my son when I got sent here. So my mind wasn't in the right place. It took me time to get my head together but by that time the voice had already finished saying. I once again apologize for any disturbance I may have caused."
"…"
"…"
"….. I formally apologize for posting the earlier comments sir and you don't have to apologize for anything sir, You are not causing any disturbance in fact it would be my pleasure to explain to you all that was said by heaven. 1. You're going to be given a random gift for (forcefully)entering the world for the first time. This is also to give you a chance to achieve your dreams or goals since the voice says that the world is filled with danger.
2. There are skills(superpowers) in this new world, They can maybe range from throwing a fireball to being able to walk on water. And are further divided into different levels. There are nine levels in total with F being the weakest to SSS being the strongest, and each level has three sections: -, =, and +. Like for example F-, F , F+ with F- being the weakest to F+ being the strongest. And the higher the skill level, the more powerful and unique it becomes.
3. In this world, most things follow the same leveling system similar to what I just explained about skills with few exceptions to this rule. similarly, to make things fair for everyone, those receiving powerful gifts will also receive a curse. Though the more powerful the gift is the more powerful the curse is. So, it kind of becomes a double-edged blade. We can probably hope that the gift we get should be useful but not too high in rank. At least that is what I understood. Hope this is the answer you are looking for sir and I am sorry for your loss."
.....
'Hmm, at least there is no idiot in the village. After all 'keyboard warriors' do not apologize even when their entire identities are doxed but double down on their opinion' Li thought. And he is right as even though people are simply chatting with each other through minds and not face to face no one knows what will happen in the future as they are not anonymous. Every time they chat their photo flashes along with their name. So, it is better to be as amicable as possible after all they all are on the whims of a higher being. Who knows when you might need help and someone who can help you was the one you were shitting on in the chat room.
As Li was going through chats and trying to gather as much information as possible while waiting for the gifts. He heard a prompt and started to shine brightly like an elder who had an Epiphany but decided to court death by kidnapping the fiancée of the reincarnated junior for yin-yang cultivation.
[Congratulation, You have been gifted SSS level skill- Absorption.]
