In the heart of a fertile badland, under an blue sky, Luis awoke to find himself in the wilderness alone and shirtless.
His dark skin glistened with sweat, and his muscles, toned from years of martial arts and pugilism, felt strangely renewed.
The river's gentle burble filled his ears, and the cacophony of unusual
animal calls echoed around him. He instinctively knew that he had left his old world behind, that he had died, and that there
was no returning.
Luis sat up, his body responding with an agility he hadn't felt before. His surroundings were both breathtaking and unsettling. The trees were twisted, their leaves a shimmering green from the light.
The grass was soft and green, and the river ran with water as clear as crystal, the animals he seen around the water hole were nothing like the one from his world. He was truly in another world. As he stood, a sudden warmth spread through his body.
A translucent screen appeared in his vision, startling him. It read:
**Welcome, Luis. You have been granted access to the Synergy System.
Your skills and abilities have been enhanced and quantified and after assessing skills and stats, your class will be designated as Fighter.**
**Name:Luis Forza

Luis stared in disbelief, "Is thing for real, I'm not dreaming, am I?" he said. As if to squash any doubt he might have about the system, he could feel the power coursing through his veins, the heightened sensitivity of his senses, and the intuitive understanding of his abilities.
He was about to test his newfound strengths when a low growl echoed behind
him. Turning around, Luis faced a monster unlike any he had ever seen.
It was a massive beast, its body a grotesque mix of scales and fur, with eyes that burned like embers, he saw words above saying it was a Stonefur Bear. A wave of fear washed over him, but it was quickly replaced by a surge of adrenaline and the instinctive urge to fight.
The monster lunged, its claws tearing through the air. Luis reacted on instinct, his body moving with a speed and precision he had never experienced before. He ducked under the swipe, pivoted, and landed a punch squarely on the beast's jaw.
The impact sent a shockwave through his arm, but the monster staggered back, roaring in pain. Luis's vision flashed, and the Synergy System updated:
**Combat Synergy Activated:
Strength temporarily increased to 25.**
With his enhanced strength, Luis felt invincible. He dodged another attack, then landed a series of blows that sent the
monster crashing to the ground.
It roared one last time before dissolving into a cloud of dark mist, leaving behind a glowing gem.
Luis approached the orb cautiously. As he reached out to touch it, it absorbed into his hand, and the Synergy System updated again:
**20 exp received**
**New Ability Unlocked:
Primal Roar - Unleashes a powerful shockwave, stunning enemies briefly.**
Luis stood there, panting, his heart pounding with exhilaration. He had not only retained his fighting skills but had gained new ones. In this strange, new world, he was not just a survivor; he was a force to be reckoned with.
As the adrenaline began to fade, Luis looked around, taking in the alien landscape with a new sense of purpose.
He didn't know what lay ahead, but he knew one thing for certain: he was ready to face whatever challenges this world threw at him.
And so, Luis's journey in the fertile badlands began, filled with promise, danger, and the thrill of the unknown.
