System initializing….

Reading world….

Adjusting content….

I was flabbergasted by this screen… It showed up out of nowhere and surprised me very much, and it appeared at a very inconvenient time.

Despite my worries, it continued to appear.

"Jess, are you seeing the same thing as me? What the hell is this?" I asked with shock in my voice, there was no way this was natural.

"I am seeing it as well" The shock was evident in her face and voice. It was like the world was crumbling in front of us.

Welcome to the Universal system. We are here to save your lives. From now on the world is going to change to temper its inhabitants to what's to come. A reading of the world was made and some suited myths and legends were selected to be used as a base to temper your world. Have a great game and good luck!

As this message floated in front of him, he became even more shocked, it was not like he has never seen some things like this. But they only appeared in novels and the like.

What was happening to this world? Was he going crazy? As a million thoughts began to appear in his head, he looked in Jessica's eyes and saw that she was even more shocked them him, if the novels and histories were real, they knew what would come next, and it would not be good.

"Jess, be calm and keep your head cooled, we are going to get through anything that comes to us!" He said this while looking in her eyes, transmitting as much calmness as he could. He knew that inside, he was just a scared kitty, but now was not the time to be afraid.

"I, I am fine... I can handle this." Just as she finished her phrase, a countdown appeared in front of them.

Beginning transmission in 3.

2...

1...

As the countdown was about to end, he felt a moist sensation on his lips and saw Jessica kissing him.

The feeling electrified him from head to toe, his world began to spin and everything changed.

Regaining his vision, Bryan looked around and saw that he was in a forest. There was a moist sensation on his face, the ground was soft and there were sounds of birds chirping. Everything around him was green and full of life, the trees almost reached the sky, nature was so vibrant that the life was overflowing everywhere. He saw that there was a blue screen in front of him.

You are now in the tutorial area, you have the mission of surviving here for 1 month, after this period you will be transported to your planet again. Good luck!

after he finished reading it, the message disappeared and in front of him appeared a different screen, he turned his attention to it and saw this.

Your status screen is going to appear shortly, for more information think or say "help".

Seeing this Bryan began to think about the meaning of the worlds. He divided the attributes into two parts, physical and mental.

Strength, endurance, vitality, and agility were physical, he thought strength was about his muscles power, endurance was stamina and his body resistance, and vitality was his ability to regenerate from wounds, and then, agility. He thought agility was about control of his body, reaction time and finesse. although some people would think that agility was about the body, it wasn't only restricted to it. It was about control of the mind over the body. a high agility would give the person a higher control of the body and a more equilibrated body shape.

The mental attributes were intelligence and wisdom, he thought intelligence was about his ability to recall things and process information, wisdom was the ability to use the information that was in his brain and react to things that happened.

Each attribute had an equivalent one. strength had agility, intelligence had wisdom, and endurance had vitality.

Looking at the numbers at his screen, he saw that the physical ones were equilibrated, but the mental ones had a four-point difference between them. He attributed that to his Bright mind perk, which gave him a better processing power and other things.

Taking his eyes out of the screen, he thought about it disappearing and it vanished. he looked around and said. "Let's survive then."

Looking around he began to walk through the forest. He didn't know what was around him. What kind of creatures that were lurking in the forest. He only knew that he had to survive for 1 month and that whatever this was about. it wouldn't be easy.

After taking a look around, he saw vestiges of animals on the grounds, there were some broken twigs and some paw marks, judging by the size of it, the animal was pretty big, and had some nasty claws.

Seeing the mark on the ground his face became pale, his breath became chaotic and he thought. I have to get out of here. He began to go in the opposite direction of where the marks were pointing. Going as quickly as he could, Bryan finally arrived in a clearing. Looking around he saw some rocks on the ground and a small river flowing in the middle of it. He went into the small river direction and formed a bow with his hands to pick some water. taking a big gulp of freshwater, he felt his mind becoming sharper and his concentration returned to him.

I need to make a weapon first, if there are some big creatures here, I need it to protect myself.

First, he grabbed a rock and began to break it into another larger one. After breaking it, and picking some pieces that were best suited for his purposes, he proceeded to sharpen them and make to fine rock blades. By the end of the process, he had two sharp rocks in his hands that looked like two small knives. He then proceeded and cut a long branch from a tree and made a spear from one of the small knives.

Looking at the makeshift spear and stabbing it in a tree's direction, he felt satisfied. After the spear was ready, he felt more safe and found a place that he deemed safe near the creek, a small cave in which entrance was covered by bushes. He scanned the small cave and saw that there were no signings of animals and made the entrance more hidden with other bushes that were near the clearing. "The safer the better" he thought to himself.

After looking into the entrance and seeing that it was well hidden, he thought "Help". shortly after that, a screen appeared before him.

This is the tutorial for beginners. There are three main functions available to the user right now. They are Galactic store, Fighting tutorial, and Missions. Think of one of them to hear further explanation. To see an explanation about the status screen you just have to concentrate on it and an explanation will follow.

Seeing the tree options that were available to him, he began to ponder about them but shortly proceeded for more information.

"Let's see what this is about. Galactic store." Bryan thought.

Welcome to the galactic store, here you can find anything that can be imagined. There are two sections for it, "Skills" and "Items". Skills can be bought from the "Skills" section, but their functionalities will be diminished from the original until they are mastered to novice. Skills can also be developed from the user's actions. The "Items" section can be divided in two, combat and living. In the combat section, you can find weapons, armors, and shields of your choice. In the "living" section you can find books, food, entertainment and equipment and a variety of things.

After the explanation, a screen appeared in front of him.

Looking at it, he finally chose the "Skills" section.

There was an infinity of different skills, so much that even after scrolling for a while he couldn't get to the end of it. Seeing that there was also a search function, he tipped "Sword".

After doing it, another screen appeared in front of him.

…………..

A myriad of skills appeared in front of him, all related to the use of a sword.

Most of them were elements and ways to apply something to or from a sword, or even if it was sword related, like the skill sword steps. But what surprised him, were the points that were necessary to buy them. He didn't have any of them, and these skills cost so much… It seemed that while there were skills available to be bought, the system wanted them to develop the skills themselves. As a screen said that there existed this possibility.

After exploring the Store a little more, he saw that there were a variety of foods and books from earth, as well as some books from other sources. Next, he thought "Fighting tutorial".

Welcome to the fighting tutorial, it will be available only once. You can choose an area so that you can receive proper instruction. Remember, you can only choose one among them.

Physical fighting

Sword techniques

Spear techniques

Knife techniques

…………………...

There were so many options that for a moment I became confused. I took a deep breath and gathered my mind together. Thinking about it more, I already knew how to fight physically, I have been training with my father since I was a child. It was a little difficult to decide If I would specialize or would branch my skills to white weapons as well. Thinking about it more, although to some it would seem like a bad decision. I chose spear techniques. I already had high physical abilities, my body was already a weapon on itself.

What I needed now, wanting it or not, was a way to do more damage.

The moment I decided, I focused on the spear techniques icon. Suddenly the screen disappeared and I felt my mind being invaded by a foreign force.

suddenly I found myself in a white space. Everything until the horizon was white, even the sky. Looking around, the only thing that called my attention was a spear rack. In it there was some different spears, some had bigger heads, some others had longer bodies. A man was standing beside this rack. He had a burly 2 meters tall body crisscrossed of scars. He was wearing some leather pants and boots, and his upper body was laid bare. His eyes and hair were black like the night sky.

“Let’s begin boy.” Said a deep voice coming from the man.
