"Alright," said Rob as he snapped his fingers. A blank panel with a big plus sign appeared in front of me. "You can customize it all you want, but there's a limit of five things you can add to it," Rob explained. I nodded, thinking the limit was reasonable. Without it, I'd be too overpowered right from the start, and that wouldn't be fun.
Before pressing the plus sign, I paused to think about what I wanted in this new life. It was important to have a clear plan, so I could choose a system that would help me reach my goals. After about thirty seconds of reflection, I had settled on my key objectives for this new life: I wanted to become powerful, travel the world, get rich, build a kingdom or powerful group, and have loyal companions by my side.
Once I had these goals clear in my mind, I pressed the plus sign. The blank panel transformed into a massive archive filled with countless system options. I scrolled through them, from combat and magic systems to crafting, time control, and reality manipulation. The variety was overwhelming, but I took my time to explore them thoroughly.
Eventually, I found five systems that aligned perfectly with my goals:
1. **Standard System**
- Includes stats, observation, inventory, skill fusion, item fusion, and an item maker.
2. **Jack of All Trades System**
- Teaches the user everything: swords, daggers, bows, guns, and more.
3. **Multiversal Shop**
- A shop containing all kinds of weapons, armor, abilities, accessories, and more.
4. **Dungeon System**
- A system that allows the user to create dungeons. These dungeons can generate monsters, treasures, and serve as a training ground.
5. **King System**
- A system that allows the user to summon people, monsters, and other creatures to become loyal allies. It also grants the ability to see people's trust levels, displaying numbers that indicate whether they are friendly, neutral, or enemies.
**Note:** All summoned beings will be completely loyal to the user.
These five systems fit perfectly with my vision. As I selected the Standard, Jack of All Trades, Multiversal Shop, Dungeon, and King Systems, a feeling of anticipation surged within me. This would be the beginning of a powerful new journey.
After confirming my selection, the panel prompted me to customize the system's appearance. I chose blue. Once I finalized the color, I was given one last choice: whether I wanted the system to be sentient or not. Without much thought, I chose to make it sentient. A system that could communicate and assist me actively seemed like a smart move.
"Since you're done with your system, it's time for your reincarnation," Rob said, snapping me back to reality.
"Thank you, Rob, for giving me a second chance at life," I said earnestly. As my body began to vanish, I couldn't help but feel deeply grateful. Without him, I wouldn't have this opportunity to start anew.
"You're welcome," Rob replied with a smile. My vision blurred as everything faded into darkness.

Floating in a void of nothingness, excitement bubbled up within me. I couldn't help but imagine what awaited me. The thought of dropping meteors, and shouting 'ZA WARUDO' as time stop while striking a cool pose made me grin.
Before long, I felt something wet touch my skin. Slowly, my eyes opened to a strange sight. It was raining, and I was lying in front of an unfamiliar house. Confused and still groggy, I barely registered my surroundings when an old man approached, sadness in his eyes as he picked me up gently. He spoke to me in a language I didn't understand, As he carried me toward the house, I noticed children nearby, pausing their play to stare at me before returning to their games.
The old man carried me inside the house and up a flight of stairs. He entered a small room, where he carefully laid me on a soft bed. A woman soon entered, her expression filled with sorrow as she stood beside the old man. They exchanged words in that same strange language, and though I couldn't understand them, I felt an overwhelming sense of warmth and comfort.
Sleep began to overtake me, my body heavy with exhaustion. Before my eyes closed completely, I saw the woman looking down at me with sadness. Then, sleep claimed me fully.
As I drifted into sleep, the warmth of the bed faded away, and suddenly, I found myself standing in a vast, endless darkness. My system materialized in front of me, glowing softly.
"Hello, dear host, it is I, your majestic system," it spoke, its voice echoing in the void.
"Where am I?" I asked, glancing around at the strange surroundings.
"We are in your mindscape," the system explained. "I brought you here because you need to learn all the functions of the system."
"Here, in the mindscape, you can learn how to navigate and use all the features of the system without interruption. This way, when you are ready, you'll know exactly how to harness your abilities. Plus, it's time to claim your starter pack."
I glanced down at myself and realized I was in an older, fully-grown body, unlike my current physical form. Just as I was adjusting to the sight, I turned back to the system, and a giant text suddenly appeared in front of me.
"Hello again, it's me, Rob," the text read. "And here is your gift to help you start your journey."
As I glanced at the system again, a giant text appeared, introducing the gift.
