"Somethings not right" A sound echoes upon the cave.
In a pitch-black cave, a boy looks at his palm. Even though he can't see a thing in that condition, he's aware that something is wrong with the situation and himself.
"I know who I am, but my body feels not at ease" The boy took a deep breath and knew he was in a cave from its smell.
"My hands feel smaller than usual, my face as well...." The boy remains silent for a moment.
'This is not my body, this is a child's body. What the hell is happening right now?' The boy's mind starts gathering conclusions.
"Hah...I can't think of any possible outcome, I'm short of information right now. I need to find a way out" The boy stretched out his hands to find a wall.
TAP
after finding it, the boy starts walking forward hoping to find his way out. With limited vision and almost seeing a thing, the boy completely relies on his sense of touch.
PAP
The boy falls because his feet are hit with something, the boy quickly gets up and suddenly freezes. Not because something holds his way, but because something holds his view.

"It is a screen? hologram screen" Orion reaches for the "Screen" But his hand can't make any contact with it.
Orion looks at that "Screen" for a pretty long and his head starts gathering conclusions again with this new kind of information.
BUK
Orion punches the wall right beside him, he can feel a bit of a stinging sensation upon his tiny hand, and that pain makes Orion come to one conclusion.
"I'm not in my world"
"It turns out the multiverse does exist, interesting. but I should not be happy right now, I'm in trouble. Based on the "Screen" I can tell that I'm right now in a world where power is something that matters"
Orion gets back on his feet and starts walking again, like before feeling the wall. The more steps he got, the more sure he was. That he was on the right path, he could feel the air sweep upon his face.
Orion stopped, the path he was looking for was now split into several directions. Orion was silent momentarily, his sense of touch increasing severalfold as he focused.
He can sense that his fingertips caught a glimpse of the wild air, playing with them. The more Orion focuses, the more his body feels strange. Orion shuddered, he started to see something.
SRING
Orion opens his eyes and is astonished by what he sees, numerous sparkles of dust fill the tunnel. He's sure that before his eyes are shut, there's nothing that he can see.
But now, hundreds or thousands of sparkle dust get into his view. Orion comes back to his senses and looks skeptical, he reaches for the sparkling dust in front of him. But feel nothing.
'It's moving, but it feels different from dust. I can't feel anything'
.
[Make first contact with Mana]
[Add Mana into [System] Stat]

Orion looks at the panel that suddenly comes from nowhere, he removes that panel with his will and it's gone. Orion opened that panel again and found the one he had called "Screen" before.

'I think, I have heard of Mana. But my memory is somewhat blurry right now, for the last couple of minutes I can only remember my name. Maybe it needs more time to regain my memory'
'That "Mana" percentage keeps increasing, it's still far enough from 100%. Need more time and for now, I need to get out of here' Orion dismissed the system panel and looked around.
Eventually, there are 5 tunnels that he can see from the Mana gathering around it. Each tunnel has a different density of Mana, Orion looks to the thickest of them. He could feel the air circulate from it too, so he made up his mind.
Orion takes the left path, leaving the other four behind. He's not using the wall as a helper anymore, he can even run. The Mana particle helps him to see in the dark as a measurement.
At the end of that path, he can see a light. A little light starts growing as soon he comes closer, Orion can start to see what is behind that light. It was a broad room with a grey color on its wall.
TAP
Orion entered that room and as soon as that, a bunch of torches started to light up itself. Orion was immediately observant of his surroundings, all of his senses were kicking to his top-notch.
As soon as that, he quickly turns around after feeling something. The path that he has through is missing, only a wall itself remaining. Orion realizes too that now, he's suddenly in the middle of that room.
SRING
Orion shuddered, and the atmosphere inside that room suddenly changed. That sensation was different from before, Orion could feel threatened immediately. His body was alert, his eyes looked in every direction with his body always turned around. When he took another turn, something appeared in front of his eyes.
Orion immediately takes a huge back step and takes a look at that thing in alert of his surroundings, and after a few seconds stays alert. Orion lowers his guard and starts to get closer to that thing.
It was a skeleton, sitting on a throne, holding something, wearing a uniform and a dusty cape, on top of his head. A dusty crown sits there, Orion now standing in front of it. that skeleton was so tall from Orion's point of view.
"This person was a king? or something like that, that crown explains something" Orion circled the throne and found nothing interesting, except for that crown and book in that skeleton arm.
After ensuring that nothing around him can endanger him, Orion touches the skeleton and nothing happens. Orion starts to climb that skeleton, to reach its head.
TAP
Orion takes the crown and gets down immediately after taking the book too, Orion gets a little cough. Dust that comes from the book and crown, spread around Orion.
after a while, Orion takes a good look at that crown. Now he can see that crown's luxurious glow and realize that the crown's glow turns brighter than before.
Orion throws that crown and it stops in the middle air, floating gently and going down slowly. That crown is moving in Orion's direction, Orion Alert. That crown stops right in front of Orion's face, Orion is suspicious about that.
'What am I supposed to do? Touch it or Wear it?' Orion takes the crown, and nothing strange happens.
The crown is not shining anymore, it just looks like a dusty crown again. Orion put the crown on his head and now looked at the book he took from that skeleton.
Orion swept the book cover, but nothing was written on the cover. Orion opened the book, but again. There's nothing inside the book, empty. Orion looks confused, he's looking at the book. Turn it upside down, but nothing happens.
BUK
"It's just a piece of crap, what am I expecting from it...Hah" Orion threw the book away and sighed.
DEG
Orion holds his head, a big headache happens to him right now. His head buzzing, Orion sat up and sweat began to appear on his face. Something popped into his head, images started to appear.
"Hah...Hah....Hah..." Orion catches his breath, he feels exhausted after receiving a jolt of information.
"Huh...Finally, it stopped. I wonder if it's always this hurt when someone with amnesia gets their memory back?" Orion breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that his memory had fully returned, Orion knew what happened before he got himself into that cave. Orion takes off the crown that hangs on his head, nothing feels special about that crown anymore.
"What a waste, but I can't wander around this cave while holding this crown. Only my body and my clothes remain, bye cro-" Orion budges.
The skeleton in front of him starts to glow. With majestic gold, that skeleton starts to evaporate. Turn into thousands of sparkle dust, Orion looks at his hand.
The rust and dust of that crown start to despair and show its true form, Orion takes off the crown without realizing it. The crown floats again and moves to Orion's head.
.
[Obtain an Item: {Crown Of Ancient World King}]
.
A notification pops up from nowhere, and Orion looks at the panel momentarily. He retakes the crown but feels nothing on his head, Orion higher his hand even more and now feels it. That crown was floating above his head, it followed Orion's head.
Orion wants to know something about that crown, but nothing in that room gives him information about it. Orion picks up the book again, even after everything that happens. That book is still empty.
'I want to know something about this book and crown, but nothing can help me here. What a pain'
.
[Obtain Skill: [Analysis]]
.
'Skill? It's give me a skill? just from what I thinking? Does it have some type of trigger, or can I make any skill just from thinking about it?
"....." silence for a moment.
'Nothing happens, I guess it's just a coincidence' Orion opened the panel again, and a new option appeared with the label "Skill". Orion opens the "Skill" menu and it shows a skill with its explanation.
.
[Analysis]: A skill that can provide insight into certain items, can be performed if the object is touched and has various percentages of success.
Level: 1 (0/50)
.
"Okay, sounds useful right now. How can I use it?" Orion looks at the book that he holds.
"Um, activate Skill?" Nothing happens.
"[Analysis]?"
The book was covered in blue light, and Orion felt a little amazed by it. A panel appears with a percentage that continues to increase every second and when it reaches 100%.
.

A bunch of notifications filled Orion's head, making him feel uneasy. But not long after, it stopped and the [Analysis] results came out on the system panel.
.
{World Encyclopedia}: One of the sacred objects that records everything that happens in the world, both small and large things. There is nothing this book cannot know
.
"Looks like I found something interesting here..." Orion popped up his smile
"And my skill gets leveled up every time it gets used, I'm sure gonna use this skill a lot from now on and that thing occurs to me too. I can get level up when I get exp and I assume, by killing something just like in some game"
.
[Found an Item: {The Essence Of The World Encyclopedia}]
[Absorb]
[Y/N]
.
"Essence? if I do, what will happen to you?" Orion looks at {World Encyclopedia}
'There will be a possibility that the book will no longer be usable if I absorb the essence and there is also a possibility that the system will take away the function of the book because I absorbed the essence...'
'That means it's more efficient because then it will only be in my head. Maybe it is not a problem, but what if it does?' Orion looked down at the book in his hand.
"Anyway...There is always a risk in a choice" Orion spoke to himself and chose to absorb the essence of {World Encyclopedia}.

"..." Orion was completely speechless, with that annoying notification coming with good news for him.
"That cheap skill turned into something disgustingly dangerous, it makes me wonder. what kind of life waits for me ahead, if it starts with this kind of luck I guess it's not bad at all"
Orion takes the {Crown Of Ancient World King} and uses [Omniscient] to that crown, but not like before. This time, the crown didn't get covered by any glow.
.

.
'And now, I even possess a powerful item in the world. but the outcome was powerful as well, making me want to throw it away immediately. But, as long as the results are worth it, why not' Orion lets go of the crown and it starts going above Orion's head.
"I have a ton of questions, but it can wait. I must get out of this cave firs-"
BOOM
Orion is immediately alert to that sound, he looks behind and hears something collapse. He realizes what happening and starts to run, he's back to the pitch-black tunnel.
Orion took many turns, he completely relied on his sense of touch which felt the gusts of wind that were getting clearer. For every path that he chose, the collapse sound followed him as well and it's getting closer.
'It's no use for running in this state, I have to figure something out. My tiny feet are not enough to make me outrun the collapse' Orion realizes something, the way out of this shitty situation.
"{Crown Of Ancient World King} increasing 10-folds" The crown floating on Orion's head gave off a light that was quite bright but did not affect Orion, the light looked luxurious and majestic.
Orion's body seemed to absorb the light and in that second he could feel a significant increase in his body, he also saw that the power in his status had increased 10 times.
His body felt much lighter and so did his steps, his pace accompanied him and his body seemed to just flow. He passed through the twists and turns of the tunnel and was finally able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
"Finally, I can go ou-"
BUMM
Several large rocks buried Orion, the distance from the exit was only a few meters but the rubble moved faster and in the end, hit Orion with large rocks.
SRET SRET SRET
Several large rocks were seen shaking, and one of the rocks began to lift. Orion came out of the collision of the large rocks, he immediately walked away. Blood was flowing from his head and now his condition looked shabby.
'If it wasn't for my power that had increased 10-fold, I would have been dead. But my condition is not good enough, I need to take a break " Orion walks out of the rubble.
He finally came out of the cave, the sunlight hit his face, and the breeze felt refreshing for someone who had just been crushed by ruins. Orion enjoys that sensation.
Now he could see that the cave was in a mountain and see the river flowing below. Orion slowly walks to a nearby tree, to rest a while.
DEG DEG
Suddenly, Orion feels his body getting heavier, and unimaginable pains come along with it. Orion stumbled and his body began to roll down the mountain, his body hit many trees and caused the pain to become more suffering for him.
SPLASH
Orion was thrown into the river, his body was dragged by the river's current. With the body still torturing and unable to move it. Orion could only hold his breath to survive, but slowly his consciousness started to fade away.
