Scene 1: A Strange Room
In a dark room, the protagonist slowly opened his eyes, feeling something strange, as if time and space had shifted around him. But the place was unfamiliar—no light in sight, only dark shadows surrounding him from every side.
Protagonist (to himself):
"Where am I? How did I end up here?"
He was in a dark room, unable to remember how he had gotten there. The room was completely empty, except for a small window in front of him, and another window floating in the air—blue and glowing faintly. It was filled with strange text.
On the window was written:
"Do you wish to obtain a power system?"
"Accept"
"Reject"
Protagonist (astonished):
"What? What does this mean? Is this... a dream? Or am I in some strange place?"
He wasn't sure what was happening, but he felt a strange urge to interact with the window. For a moment, he thought it might just be a hallucination or mental trickery. He decided to ignore it.
Then, suddenly, the window appeared again, with the same text. Something inside him started to feel uneasy, as though this window was extremely important.
Protagonist (to himself):
"Why does this window keep appearing? What happens if I click 'Accept'?"
After a few moments of hesitation, he felt like he had no choice but to make a decision. Every thought in his mind pushed him toward choosing.
Just as he was in a state of silence, he felt something strange in his hand. He was pressing something without realizing it, and suddenly, the text appeared before him once again:
System (in a calm voice):
"System accepted. You are now the holder of this system. Please choose your first ability."
The words entered his mind directly, as if they were coming from somewhere else, from another world. He felt something strange within him, as though something had entered his mind.
Protagonist (astonished):
"What is this? What's happening to me? Am I... becoming part of this system?"
While he was trying to make sense of the situation, multiple options appeared on the window:
1. Chi Absorption Level MAX.
2. Mana Absorption Level MAX.
3. Magic Level MAX.
4. Martial Arts Level MAX.
5. Horsemanship Level MAX.
6. Blacksmithing Level MAX.
7. Alchemy Level MAX.
8. Storage Level MAX.
Protagonist (questioning):
"What does all this mean? Is this real? Can I really choose a new power?"
He stared at the options one by one. He was confused, but there was something inside him pushing him towards the choice of "Horsemanship".
Protagonist (deciding):
"I'll choose Horsemanship. I don't know why, but it feels like this will help me in this situation."

Scene 2: The Room Transforms
After selecting Horsemanship, the surroundings suddenly changed. The dark room he was in seemed to disappear rapidly, as if being erased from existence, while his body felt something strange; it was as though a new skill had entered him. He felt like his abilities in mounted combat had increased tremendously, as if his mind was filled with experience about horse riding and battle.
Protagonist (in a low voice):
"I now feel like... I have the ability to fight differently. This was the right choice."
At that exact moment, another window appeared before him, showing him a map of the surrounding forest, with his position marked in the middle of it. There were also strange notifications telling him that this forest was the first gate to another world.
System:
"Now, your journey begins. You must travel to the world of your choice."
Protagonist (questioning):
"What does that mean? Am I going to another world? Where will I go?"
System:
"Of course. This is your beginning. Your journey will take you through random worlds. Ancient eras, magical realms, space, and eventually, you may find your way back... or to face the threats that await you."

Scene 3: Discovering the Dragon
As the protagonist wandered through the forest, he started to feel something strange. The aura surrounding the place was heavy, and there was a constant feeling that something dark was watching his every move. Then, at one point, he encountered a group of local soldiers in the forest. One of them, who appeared to be their leader, looked at him with deep concern and spoke:
Soldier (addressing the protagonist):
"You're... new here, aren't you? If you've accepted the system, you must have heard of the Great Dragon."
Protagonist (surprised):
"A dragon? What do you mean?"
Soldier:
"This dragon is the source of destruction in our world. It has devastated villages and lands. Rumors about its existence have been circulating for decades, but it seems your power may be the only solution. Are you ready to face it?"
Protagonist (thinking):
"I haven't heard of this dragon... but there seems to be something in this world I need to learn."

Scene 4: The Final Decision
Protagonist (determining his path):
"If this is the beginning, it means I must be ready for whatever comes. I'll accept the challenge, but I'll be cautious."
As he continued his journey through the forest, he began making his way toward the nearby kingdom, where he could learn more about the dragon. But deep down, he felt that there was something unfinished, something mysterious about this mission that awaited him in the future.
