"Ughh, dang, my head hurts..." Justin starts to open his eyes inside a very dark cave. He then raises his head and slowly gets up.
"Where am I? And why the hell am I so short?!" Justin is shocked to see his tiny body, considering that he is a 35-year-old Asian who's height is 5'9; he is now 3'8—the size of a mere child. Justin then ran towards a nearby lake inside the cave and saw his reflection. "Why the hell am I a freaking child!?" Justin yells, echoing throughout the dark cave.
"What am I going to do with such a small body!? I don't even know if there are monsters in this world!" Justin proceeds to sit down and then takes a deep breath and sighs.
<Greetings, Sir Justin.> A woman or man's voice can be heard out of nowhere, which startled him.
"Oh yeah, I have access to the system thingy, right?" Justin asked, full of curiosity.
<Yes, that is correct. I am your system will be helping you through long journey.>
"Do you have a name or something I can call you?" Justin asked while thoroughly looking around his surroundings.
<I currently don't have one, but if you wish, can give me a name.>
"I mean, it's going to be a lot more efficient and helpful if I can call you something, Hhhmmm..." Justin starts to think of a name for the system.
"How about Giya in Tagalog it means guide, Since you're like a guide to me it fits," Justin said with enthusiasm and pride, knowing such a deep Tagalog word that most Filipinos won't even know.
<Then I shall now be known as Giya, The Guide," the system said with a slight hint of happiness.>
"Then Giya, would you care to tell me where I currently am right now?" Justin asks while sitting in a lotus position.
<You are right now in the world of magic and swords, Monterra, which estimated difficulty is currently unknown.>
"Why is the difficulty unknown?" Justin asked with great curiosity.
<Unfortunately, I do not know, but it might be because the flow of rebirth and reincarnation is in shambles right now.> This made Justin think more about what was happening.
"Why is this flow of rebirth and reincarnation in shambles?" Justin questioned with a slight hint of worry.
<It might be because something interrupted in the course of it, for example, forcefully inserting a person's soul into it while they should have been afterlife.> This surprised Justin.
"Hmmm, Pretty sure I'm the cause of it... Wait! There are people who can do that?!"
<Yes, there are beings that can devour principles and has the power to rule over reality time, they logic cannot apply to, so be cautious careful, for not even I always find an answer or a way protect you.>
Justin is worried about what the being that put his soul into the flow of reincarnation and rebirth is going to do or plan to do.
<Well, you don't have to worry, as the being that has bestowed system on is also all powerful. There are not many of those beings can stop me anyway, so just focus in finding an exit this cave and let's find out later about other things.>
Giya, the guide, seems to be comforting the human Justin with his worries. Justin then lets out a slight smile and is happy that he is not alone compared to his past life.
"The being that bestowed you to me..." Justin muttered in a silent tone of voice.
"Well, thanks for that. Let's leave it at that and first get out of here and survive." Justin then gets up and starts to walk, and as he walks in the dark and rough-floored cave, he remembers something.
"Anyways, shouldn't I have something like a status screen or something to view my stats just like those in the games!?" Justin asks with a huge smile on his face filled with excitement.
<Yes, you do have a status screen. Do wish for me to open it?>
"Yes, please open it!" Justin can't seem to hide his excitement to see such a thing that he can only access in his dreams; his smile seems to reach all the way to the ceiling.
<The following are your stats, sir Justin.>

"Woooow! this is so awesome; it looks just like a game, so this is my stats, huh?" Justin looks with great happiness because he is a game addict.
(But let's all admit it, all of us would want a personal status screen.)
"Wait, Giya, why is the status screen saying that my name is Jerald instead of my name, Justin?" Justin wondered if it's an error or malfunction of the system status screen.
<That might be because the previous soul and owner of this little boy's body's name is Jerald.>
(From this moment on, I will be calling Justin, Jerald)
"Ohhh, is that so?" Jerald nodded with great hype.
"So who is this boy anyway? He's covered with bruises and blood; even his clothes have slashes all over them," Jerald asked with huge interest.
<This child seemed to have died from multiple slashes, which then caused huge blood loss, making it the perfect vessel for wandering soul that is you.>
"Oh, that makes sense, but what could have slashed this little boy's chest?" Jerald wondered why his body had slash marks that didn't look like they were from a sword or knife but from the sharp claw of a beast.
Suddenly, a loud THUMP! can be heard behind Jerald.
"What was that?!" Jerald then turns around and sees a 2-foot-tall ground rat with blood-covered claws, which freezes Jerald's body in sheer fear and shock.
"It looks like we have our first victim for Exp here." Jerald said with huge fear and excitement while going into a fighting stance.
