In a dense forest, a beam of black light descends from the sky and lands on a corpse. The lifeless body that is filled with injuries twitches, and after a couple of seconds, it stands up and looks around him in total panic.
"What!? Where!? Who!? Huh?" The corpse scratches his head, confused at his current condition. He looks around once again, and his confusion only grows stronger.
"Maybe I should not have been drinking so early in the day to think that I am seeing such crazy things." He laughs, thinking that he is hallucinating.
Urgh! He clutches his chest; it feels like his heart is burning. The sensation only spreads around his body, growing more intense by the second. He falls to the ground and tries to lessen the pain by rolling around.
No sound comes out of his mouth; he is trying to scream because of the pain he is currently experiencing. An hour passes, and the pain finally recedes.
"F*ck! What the hell was that?! It feels like sh*t!" He curses loudly. He tries to stand up but only feels the sensation of exhaustion all over his body.
Suddenly a voice descends on his head, causing him to turn pale in fright. He tries to find the origin of the voice, but just like earlier, he is still alone in the seemingly endless forest.

"What the actual f*ck?! Am I really that drunk that I am hearing strange mechanic voices in my head?" Leon scratches his head, but he quickly notices something strange: he is wearing torn clothing, as if it were ripped apart by some sort of monster.
"What the hell happened to me? Also, the most important question right now is, Where the hell am I?" He screams in exasperation.
Roar! A loud roar was heard nearby, startling him. He quickly turns in the direction of the roar and runs the other way around. He might be curious as to what the hell made that roar, as it is much different than any animal that he has ever heard, but he is not willing to wait and find out.
He quickly realises something strange: his physique. He had seen his body, and it was actually quite fit, unlike what he had been used to seeing.
Shaking his head, he tells himself to forget that information for now and focus on running away. The animal responsible for the roar might not be chasing him, but he is not going to risk his life by finding out.
After running for half an hour or so, he stops and hides. He looks around and sees nothing unusual; he sighs in relief.
"Now on a pressing matter, when did I become so fit?" he asks himself as he touches the lean stomach he now has. He cannot help but click his tongue.
"Also, I am not exhausted even after running for so long; even though I used some of the technique that dad taught me, I should still be out of breath, but right now, I only felt strength coursing through my body."
He sighs and says, "I wish I could see my current physical trait."
Before his grandfather's death, he always examined his physical health, as his grandfather always smiled after seeing just how healthy he was.

"What is this!" Surprised by the sudden appearance of a screen in front of him, he jumps backwards. He quickly takes up a fighting stance, but seeing that the screen does not do anything, he quickly calms down.
Taking a deep breath, he cannot help but ask, "What the hell happened to me, and where is this place?"
[The host is now in a different universe because, due to the primary function of the system, it protects the host's core, which is his body and soul. Due to the power of the black hole, the system was unable to save the body and can only use most of its power to protect the soul and transfer it to a universe that the host desired.]
"Lost my body, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that this body is not mine? What about its original owner? Did you kill him to be replaced by me?" He feels guilty for the original owner of the body.
[Affirmative, the host lost his body due to the unforeseen event of the power of the black hole; affirmative, the original owner is already dead before the host descends on the new vessel; negative]
Leon was speechless. He sighs and says, "Wow, you really answered all of my questions, and in order to do that, you are really convenient. Since you call yourself a system, are you some sort of gift from a bored God before sending me to this world?"
[Negative, the system is no miracle from any "God." It is the final creation of the Laprace Race before they went extinct by observing the miracle of life and evolution in your original world. It is the Gemstone of Life.
"Gemstone of Life? Right! You are the gem that I have always kept, but how did you manage to enter my brain?" he asks in shock.
[Not brain; in order to protect the host, the system has to fuse with the spirit body, or, in your race's terms, the soul.]
"Wow, you are telling me that you are directly talking to my soul, but wait, what about my original planet? What had happened to it?"
[Destroyed, swallowed by the black hole, right now you are the only current being left of your original world; everyone was disintegrated into atoms, vaporised into nothing.]
