There was a young man standing on an gravel plot of land, surrounded by pine trees. He looked to be in his late twenties, his eyes however, told a different story. The shining green eyes, covered by the bangs of his long blonde hair, revealed experience beyond the man's looks. With a somber expression, the "young" man walked through the gravel, each step causing it to shift and make a crunching noise.Â
*Krrt*
*Krt*Â
*krt*
" *Sigh*, it really has been a long trip hasn't it?"Â
The man's facial expression became nostalgic, remembering the day that changed his life, all those years ago. Shaking his head, the man decided it was pointless to think about such things now.
"The past is the past; it's time for me to look towards the future."
Contrasting his former expression, the man's facial expression morphed into an excited and happy visage, his handsome features becoming more pronounced.Â
"System open."
[Welcome back [Arthur] to the multiversal adventurer system!]
The system had always been a point of interest of the man's throughout his travels, but he never figured out it's motive, or reason for existence. He had theories, and so did his companions, but none ever bore fruit. He was just happy to be done with all the adventuring and bullshit, it was a rough journey after all.Â
"Man, I got to stop thinking about this stuff, I'm finally retired after all..."
Admonishing himself for sounding like an old man, he proceeded to search the system shop for his retirement package.Â

Selecting the [Purchase] Option a system prompt appeared in front of him.Â
[Congratulations on your purchase..... calculating cooking skill.]
Suddenly... Arthur's facial expression became extremely pale.Â
"Gulp."
He was quite possibly, the worst cook he had ever met.Â
[calculating]
Sweat began to form on his face, he had no idea what the system was calculating his cooking skill for, but he was no worried he had overlooked something important.Â
[calculating]
Even more sweat began to pool on his face, making him glisten in the sunlight pouring down on the empty lot.Â
[Calculation Complete!]
[Cooking skill level: Lowest]

"It's over, I'm done fore..."
He dropped to his knees with in an exaggerated manner, covering his face with his hands.Â

Tears pooled at his eyes, streaming down his face.... This was not how Arthur had imagined his retirement would go.Â
"Alright, time to jump off a cliff....."
