Pov Matthew/Samuel
In a small shack on the outskirts...
"Where am I? I wasn't in the hospital. What happened?"
A man with a confused expression.
[Ding ding!]
[Hello, host. Welcome to your new world.]
"New world! Don't tell me I was reborn like in those mangas."
[You got it, host. You don't seem as dumb as you look.]
"System, where am I, and what is my identity in this world?"
[You've taken over a high school student, poor and untalented. He caught an illness and was bedridden until he passed away. Since he contracted the disease, it's been 1 day.]
[Would you like to integrate the memories of this body?]
[Yes] [No]
"Well, it's the best I can do."
Thinking in the affirmative, Matthew began to feel a throbbing pain in his head as the memories of this body returned.
"So, I'm Samuel now."
In summary, I'm a man in a world where men have become fragile, while women have become strong, authoritarian, and especially lustful.
And not only that, I live with my younger sister in a shack on the outskirts because our parents borrowed a lot of money and didn't pay it back, and now that debt is ours.
Man, I thought I could have been reborn into a rich and wealthy family.
"According to my memories, my sister should return from school in 2 hours."
"System, what are your functions?"
[I am the Improvement System.]
[Everything you do repeatedly will be improved.]
[A good example of this would be punching the air. Your first punch may be ugly and ineffective, but if you punch the air repeatedly, there will be a moment when you'll be the strongest in the world.]
"Incredible!! I could start practicing now."
[Well, that would take about 300 years, but that's not important.]
Now, the disheartened Sam.
"Well, it's already noon. I should make something for my sister to eat."
Getting out of bed and going to the bathroom to change, but when he looked in the mirror, he was surprised.
"Staring back was a man with sharp jaws, black hair reaching his neck, dark black eyes, and sword-like eyebrows."
'I really am quite handsome. It explains why my predecessor always had the bangs in front of his face.'
'Feminine attention for men in this world is not very well-received.'
"Well, I'm not exactly Samuel."
Deciding not to use that bang in front of his face anymore, Sam goes to the kitchen to make lunch.
When everything was ready, a robotic voice sounded.
[Ding... Cooking skill level increased.]
"System, show me my status."

What are these attributes? An ant? And what does he mean by 'can't last even 2 minutes,' you sneaky system. At least it seems that getting beaten up and flirting with nurses yielded some results.
"System, why are my skills at such a high level already?"
[Host, these levels aren't high; they are your abilities from both this body and your past life.]
With his doubts answered by the system, he decides to wait for his sister.
Knock, knock, knock.
"Coming already."
Knock, knock.
"Why the rush?"
"I already said I'm coming." Opening the door, his eyes widen in surprise.
"What is this?"
