After finally finishing his homework, he got up and stretched his unused muscles, getting ready for bed. "Although" He thought, "I should treat myself." He said, turning to the PC in the corner of his room and smirking. While walking to the PC, he suddenly slipped on his foot-flop, which had just enough smoothness on the botten to take his foot away.
*CRASH*
"Hot damn! When were sandals so... dangerous?" His vision blurred, feeling his forehead, we felt something wet, and it smelled like iron...
He figured he hit his head on the corner of his nightstand. He was then looking at the door, hoping to get out, which suddenly opened up, revealing nothing.
There was an abyss of darkness beyond the door. He thought he was hallucinating. Then, a dark vortex resembling a horizontal tornado emerged from the abyss.
The vortex swallowed him whole, clouding his vision and his mind. While he couldn't see or feel anything, he did hear a faint voice.

Now, he could start to feel, and his vision was getting clearer.
"What the hell?"
He felt grass beneath his fingertips.
"Ahh, what have you gotten yourself into?"
He then felt a searing sharp pain in his head, a headache to be precise. He felt information being implanted into his brain.
He suddenly knew where he was, and who he was. His name was now Ruen, with beige skin, and near vantablack hair as well as twitch purple eyes. (#9146ff). He was no longer on Earth, instead, he was on a planet called Kósmos, a planet of good Ol swords and sorcery.
Ruen, being a pro-gamer and light-novel enthusiast, was ecstatic! He had always dreamed of this! He immediately tried shooting a fire ball out of his palm, but to no avail. "Maybe water?" Ruen inquired. Nothing but disappointed came out. "Alright let's try ear-" Ruen was interrupted by a purple panel with rune-like designs around the edges popping up in front of his vision.

He was scared at the sudden panel disrupting his peace. His face showed a smile seeing it was obviously a system, which was somehow much different than what he pictured it would look like. That smile quickly turning into a frown, however, looking at the intelligence stat. "Really gotta rub it in that I died via foot-flop, huh?"
[Congratulations Host, you have acquired: Dark Matter System]
"Woah, dark matter? Intense, I've never read about that before!" Once again reading the word system, he got another smile.
Looking around, he saw green grass, and heard birds chirping. With the knowledge rudely forced into his brain, he knew his was in some hills; near a city named Póli.
He stretched again, prepping to walk to Póli.
During the walk, he noticed something about the system, something quite important- There was no mana! So what, can he just shoot dark orbs in rapid succession?
Although it didn't matter right now, seeing he didn't have any skills/abilities anyway.
Making it to Póli, he wasn't sure if they would make him pay or not. They asked for ID, which of course Ruen didn't have.
Although they were puzzled, they let him in on the condition he'd get an ID right away. They told him he can get one at any of the guilds.
1He found out they used a currency similar to USD, which he remembered from the knowledge. Looking at all the stalls, his mouth was watering, landing his eyes on a pair of kebabs. He needed money, fast.
He looked for the guild to make an ID. Finally reaching the guild, he walked in the door, and saw a pretty bustling crowd. Some middle aged-looking guy chugging down what looked like beers. Looking at the back of the building, he saw a a desk with a cute receptionist. Blue hair and blue eyes, with... ample curves.
Although stunned, Ruen went to the reception desk. "Hello! My name's Mia. I haven't seen you around here! Would you like a ID?" She smelled like vanilla extract. Intoxicating to say the least. "Y-yes please." "Alright! We'll have to do the actual test later, but we can go ahead and make your id right now. You also get a starter bonus of 2 silver coins." Ruen was a little taken aback.
There are copper, silver, gold, and platinum coins. 10 copper=1 silver. 10 silver= 1 gold. 10 gold=1 platinum. So two silver coins is a decent chunk of money. "Thank you very much!" Ruen said cheerfully. "No problem! I hope to see you back soon!" Walking out the door, Ruen was a little sad he couldn't smell the sweet fragrance anymore. "Shit, do I like her?" He pushed the thought into the deep depths of his mind.
Seeing it was close to getting dark, Ruen knew he had to find an inn. After walking for a while, he had finally found an inn, with his stomach rumbling, he was dieing to get a meal soon. He walked in and saw... nobody, there wasn't a single soul. Although, that wasn't all true, there was a kind looking lady wiping down one of the tables.
She looked about 40, with grayish blond hair. "Hello honey! Would you like a room?" She said sweetly.
"Yes, please." Ruen replied
"Alright, that'll be 2 copper coins!"
Ruen ended up having to exchange one of his silver coins for 10 copper coins. So now he had 1 silver coins and 8 copper coins.
After getting a bath and heading back to his room, it was about 9 p.m. So he responsibly went to bed.

It was 12:00 p.m. and a full moon.

"Ugh, that was a much needed sleep" Ruen said, checking his stats

Ruen, still groggy, proceeded to say "I beg your pardon?
