《Unfathomable Senior》Chapter 2

His ears were ringing and he felt drowsy as he finally came too, Matthew rubbed his glabella while slowly opening his eyes and he was greeted with green. He found himself leaning up against a big tree in an open field, a lot of grass around him with more trees after that as he was apparently in a clearing with no one around him.
"God damn, what happe..."
98%....99%....100%... Ding.
[Downloading of the package finished.]
[Initiating tutorial]
"What the..."
After waking up he was greeted by the sound of the similar robotic voice followed by a dinging sound similar to a microwave being done cooking. As the so called tutorial started he could see some screens pop up in front of him with a lot of words and prompts and something that looked it could fit into a mmorpg game. Matt flailed at the sudden semi-transparent screens in front of him with his hands but they just went through it, though this made him realize that his hands looked a lot rougher then what he was used to.
"Wait what is this..."
He looked at his hands, they looked rough and callused and looked like he could snap some bones with those. He then stood up and started feeling up his body only to realize that he changed into the character he was previously designing along with the same getup that he chose for it. He couldn't see his face but it was just like he made it, just in super high definition as this was a real-life person.
"D-did I just get wished away into another world? a video game? or both?"
He started frantically looking around the place, not really seeing anyone in the vicinity besides a few hopping bunnies, though they looked a bit strange with those horns sticking out from their foreheads. The square screens in front of his face kept following him around whenever he turned his head to the sides which made him stop and read what was written in them.

[Welcome to 'Immortals R Us' the best cultivation system in all the realms]
[Earn spirit points through various ways and increase your cultivation]
[Increase your faction's reputation to earn rewards, it's always more fun in a group!]
"Uh... what kind of name is that... is this some kind of scam... "
After reading through some introduction gibberish Mat, that was now called Zhang Dong could see his character's status screen though it didn't have much to it besides showing his name and cultivation realm and some more stuffs.
Name: Zhang Dong
Affiliation: Zhang Clan
Cultivation Base Qi: Core Formation(Pending)
Cultivation Base Body: Foundation Establishment(Pending)
Techniques : (Pending)
Dao: (Pending)
While looking through the screen he spotted a flashing button in the top right corner which drew his attention, it read 'Unload starter package' which didn't really mean anything to him at the moment as he found himself pointing with his finger at the button and pressing it in mid-air. He was greeted with the robotic sounding voice after he did that and a countdown. As it counted down he started getting stressed not really knowing if he did the right thing or not but he couldn't really do anything about it now.
[Uploading starter package, prepare to receive the information]
He suddenly felt a sharp pain, his head started throbbing while he collapsed to his knees tightly grasping his head as he squirmed around the grassy ground. His legs twitching around and kicking to the sides as he rolled side to side while holding his head with both his hands and screaming in pain. He could feel information being injected directly into his brain as he received the knowledge about techniques which he previously selected while in the character creator but not like he remembered what he clicked at that point.

Zhang Dong also felt a sharp pain inside of his body in his dantian area, his core was changing. It started crackling with lightning, spinning around as it transformed into an elemental lightning core making his whole body release static energy as it discharged some of it into the surrounding area.
[Transformation of the core finished, lightning core established]
[Beginning body refining...]
The animals in the vicinity could see the grown man squirming on the ground in a weird way, just trashing about while vomiting black blood which made most of them flee out into the forest. He could feel his body tensing up, muscles expanding and bones shifting around as he got stronger and his body got accustomed to the changes, but that wasn't the end of it as knowledge of martial art techniques started flooding his mind, the ways of dao and how to use his cultivation along with the techniques that came with it.
[....DING... starter package uploaded... have a nice day and don't forget to check out your inventory, you will find a couple of goodies!]
"S-shit god almighty...ughhh"
After some projectile vomiting of some black blood and rolling onto his back to pass out for a good 15 minutes Dong finally woke up while still twitching. After wiping the tears and snot from his face and checking out if he didn't pee himself during the whole debacle he rolled to his knees and while supporting himself on the tree, he stood up and took in a deep breath while trying to calm himself down.
"Woah... guess I know kung fu?... they made it look way easier in the movies..."

Gamble
My name is Vak Tychus. Aside from the, regrettably striking name, there were very few things I'd judge, that made me - me. The name had to do with chance or fate. My last name was Latin, derived from the Latinized name Eutychus which was the combination of two Greek words corresponding to "good" and "luck, chance, and fortune." Now that you know why I'm so unhealthily and exceedingly prone to gambling I can begin to teach you why exactly I love it so much. There's a handful of things you'd have to know to really appreciate how to gamble. You'd be surprised at how much you can learn in two decades supposing you stuck with it your entire life. Although, there are some stark differences between betting a handful of cash and your life against monstrous creatures intent on your blood. Well, you learn a thing or two, if you can believe it. Here, in fact, we can start with the first one: Taking a risk. Try it now and start reading.

All this occurs because suddenly mana enters the world and forces itself on and into everything completely changing the world. People now have classes and can use magic, they see their own status, and a variety of creatures enter your world with a variety of different motives.

I am simply writing this to see if I enjoy writing stories like this and to test it as a hobby. The cover art is not mine, I found it online, if the owner does not want me to use this picture then I will take the picture down.
