Chapter 1: Advent, status screen

"Where the hell is this!!!"

Along with this pitiful and despairing cry, countless birds resting in the trees flew away while singing; the culprit, however, ignores this and is completely submerged in his tragedy.

(A/N: Pfft, at least you weren't sent by truck-kun)

This is a young man with black hair and eyes who appears to be around 20 years old and has a face that is not too ugly and not too handsome, just average. At the moment, he is kneeling on a plain within a forest, with his head bowed and a hint of sadness on his face.

Raising his head, he observed the surrounding trees that grew beyond the observable horizon, he wants to cry, but due to lack of tears he cannot.

Who would have thought that after he woke up, he would come to such a mysterious and isolated place. It is clear that this young man thinks so, because if an outsider saw this, he would consider it to be a very lively and verdant forest.

It's not that the young man didn't think he was still in a dream, but rather because of the beautiful "fresh" bruise on his arm.

"Could this be the legendary isekai? But why are there no cheats? Because there was no reincarnation, and this is such a desolate place that there is no human sign in sight, what the hell am I supposed to do? Oh God of isekai(Author, meaning me), are you trying to screw me? (Yes I am)" Still stunned, he sat there, without a care in the world, opening and closing his mouth, god only knows what he is mumbling.

Should we say exactly what is expected of a young otaku?

Or could it be that the god of isekai (A/N: Me) has grown tired of his ramblings, why is the young man still wallowing in his tragedy, came a cold, machine-like voice appearing in his mind.

[System initialization… initialization successful! Dear user, the system welcomes you…]

Suppose if someone was in a godforsaken place and suddenly heard a deep, cold voice, what kind of reaction would they expect? Well, the answer is on the young man's face. (A/N: close enough)

His whole body shook, he screamed like a little girl and jumped higher than he ever had before, even before he entered his otaku life, he had never been so athletic.

"Who's there, do you think I'm afraid of you? Just so you know, even if you want to kill me (A/N: In the original raw it was literally claiming someone's lunch box, which means removing a character from a story inducing the character's death or disappearance), I choose to starve After binging on anime for 7 days and nights, I'm sure I won't die in this no man's land, capeesh?" So says the young man as he shakes his boots and laughs unsteadily with an indescribably weak tone.

"…." The whole place became silent, the young man looked to his right and to life, completely unaware that he was saying terrible things.

Maybe he already felt it (A/N: are you sure?) Swallowing hard and resisting the urge to escape, he stammered, "S-Say something, hi..."

You can't blame him, take anyone and put them in that situation, no one would be able to stay calm, right? Plus, he's just a very domestic person, someone who doesn't know the outside world well.

What a pity, there is still no sound in this lush forest, as if the voice was just some kind of hallucination.

Looking around shyly, he took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart and then opening himself up to speak once again:

[Hey, the one who goes by the name system…]

After that, the young man was stunned.

System? That's what I said right? I can't have heard wrong! The legendary system? My golden finger?

This can't be real, can it?

With his train of thoughts reaching here, the young man finally calmed down, scratching his head and muttering suspiciously. "System?"

Soon after that, the mechanical voice resounded once again.

[At your service, user!]

The young man's heart leapt once again.

He could handle this situation with more composure after a little psychological preparation, this kind of scenario, as long as he is an otaku, he can guess what will happen from now on.

"So… system, where is this? What the hell happened? Why am I here?" Like a machine gun, he shot his saliva (A/N: Ew.), he can't wait to find out what situation he is in, in this forest without humans, he can only cling to this system as if were your life line.

[Beep! User's current position: Silvaria World: forest of giant beasts!]

Silvaria World? Forest of giant beasts?

Okay, based on this information, the young man came to some conclusions: first, he transported; Second, from the name of this place, he was transported to a Western-style world; Third, it would be nice if this was a normal world, but if it was one of those mystical or magical fantasy type worlds, then from that unbearably cliché place name, the chance of him dying is probably only a little lower than a girl. coming up and hitting on him.

(A/N: Looks like this guy just raised a flag)

Shaking his head vigorously, as if to clear his mind of his conclusion, reminding himself within his heart, that this is a false conclusion, a false conclusion, like a glorious transmigrated, according to the standard (A/N: world standards of transport revised in 2024), he should be able to sweep from north to south, conquer the world, make several "friends with benefits", create a harem, leave an unforgettable legacy in this world!

This always happens in novels, it's impeccable logic!

While he is daydreaming, unfortunately, it gets more ridiculous with each passing second.

Finally, recalling the mysterious system, the young man finally relaxed a little.

With a few breaths and a dry laugh, he stood up and faced the empty front. "I can come back?"

[Beep! Outside of system protocol, please investigate yourself!]

The young man couldn't help but twitch the edge of his lips, the young man said awkwardly: "Then what is not outside the system protocol?"

Out of nowhere, a multicolored picture appeared in the blink of an eye, it seems so unreal as if it were just a projection.

Baffled by the fantastic board in front of him, floating above it were 'status', 'equipment', 'skill', 'items', 'summon' screens, totally like an rpg game.

Now, if he still doesn't realize what this is, he failed as a true otaku, this…. this is clearly a cheat system straight out of a novel!

And then he jumped 3 feet high, breaking his personal record once again, ecstatic to the point that he had forgotten who was being a whiny bitch just a moment ago.

That's practically telling me to cheat!

Laughing like he was a bit retarded, no wait that wasn't an adjective, he actually became totally retarded

Looking at the status board, as if it were his true love, always coming close to kissing him, while still in full retarded mode (A/N: Yes our protagonist is an idiot...), he pressed the 'tab' tab. status'.

The five tabs disappeared and what appeared was an illusory projection of himself accompanied by a 'unit status' description.

[Unit: Human]

[Equipment: None]

[Equipment Points: 0] (A/N: hereafter Ep)

[Skill Points: 0] (A/N: hereafter Ap)

[Summoning Points: 0] (A/N: hereafter Sp)

"…."

With this kind of questionable status and full of 0s waiting to make a tsukkomi about the kind of status. The young man's face changed color as if he wanted to imitate the color spectrum in the status projection.

Although it is not time for baking or tsukkomi, a headache cannot be avoided.

"I say, as a standard newbie, the pitiful status and string of zeros I can barely accept, but why the hell does this happen to the unit value? The fuck is 'human'!…" As anyone who plays mmorpgs, or has seen a novel will know, in the unit line there should be a name…"

"Fuuuu…" A wind blew across the plains, along with some leaves, passing by his face, as if he wanted to laugh at him…

After a moment of unnatural silence, the enigmatic system sounded once more.

[Please choose your term of endearment!]

You took a break, didn't you! You definitely took a break just now!

Upset as he is, he scratched his head until his hair looked like a bird's nest, helplessly he lowered his hands feeling very helpless.

[Please choose your term of endearment.]

The voice encouraged him once again, snapping him out of his weak suicidal feelings, letting out a sigh and he exhaled. "My name is…"

Stopping halfway, as it is a new world, which implies a new beginning, its old name could very well be buried...

And it hit him like an epiphany, he reflected before looking up. "Virgil! I'll call myself Virgil!"

(A/N: Our MC doesn't look anything like Virgil (DMC), but I thought that was a cool name so I added it...)

Virgil though doesn't seem a bit goofy but this is the best he could think of at this stage in regards to the name.

Anyway, there's no one here who can recognize him, a cooler sounding name certainly can't run afoul of the law, right?

[Beep! Identity confirmed, user: Virgil, confirming status has been revised from human to Virgil]

With expectations, he clicked on the skill tab and what was listed were three sub-tabs 'skill type', 'talent type', 'bloodline type'. He clicked on the bloodline type without hesitation.

[Sharingan:

(one tomoe): 1,000 Ap;

(two tomoe): 3000 Ap;

(three tomoe): 10,000 Ap;

(mangekyo Sharingan): 100,000 Ap;

(eternal mangekyo): 500,000 AP]

[Rinnegan: 1,000,000 AP]

[True Ancestor: 500,000 Ap] (A/N: I'm not sure where this comes from, but there's a strong possibility it came from either a Chinese cultivation novel or was invented)

Looking at that blinding series of numbers, he became disoriented and just clicked 'return'. His mind is still in limbo, although the screen has returned to the menu.

Now, he's sure, it's time to make a tsukkomi!

With that, he refuses to believe that he can't handle this world!

Right now, he's feeling pretty good, it feels like he's on top of the world, stepping on a mountain of corpses, brandishing his infinite sword like a boss!

Common symptom of octave syndrome, or as people prefer to call chunnibyou

While fantasizing, he clicked on the "talent" sub-tab.

[Vector manipulation

(level 1): 500 Ap;

(level 2): 1000 Ap;

(level 3): 5000 AP;

(level 4): 50000;

(Level 5): 500,000 AP]

[Flame Contract: 300,000 AP]

[Mystical Eyes of Death Perception: 1 mi Ap]

The list is endless and, as the list grew, his mouth also grew. As he saw familiar and unknown names he maintained his compulsion to laugh like a maniac, and continued with the 'kind of skill'

[I give ice IQ: 10k Ap]

[Gives Dark IQ: 10k Ap]

[Sacred Magic: 100k Ap]

[Twilight Magic: 100k AP]

[Undead Magic: 100k Ap]
