New Horizon: Zenith of Awakening

Rave, your run-of-the-mill guy, meets an unexpected demise only to find himself waking up in a fantastical world reminiscent of a video game he once played. Streets adorned with floating lights, diverse races engaged in conversation, and houses defying earthly norms. As Rave gazes into a puddle, he's taken aback to see the familiar face of a character he meticulously crafted in the game called New Horizon. "Where the hell am I?" Rave said as he scratched his head, sitting on the ground filled with dirt. =============================================================== -No fixed update schedule; I'll write a chapters continuously until reaching 25 to 30. Followed by scheduled uploads.

Token of Talents

After a while, Rave wondered where he really is, as this is fantasy-like. So many different species walking around; he can see some humans, but most of them are beast-like. He's also familiar with them: elves, dwarves, beasts, etc.

While he's busy contemplating his surroundings, a notification prompts on his screen.

(You've successfully finished the tutorial! A newbie package was given, would you like to open it?)

"Newbie package and tutorial? You mean when I finish my character creation?" Rave said, as it's the last thing he remembered.

(Would you like to open it?) The System prompts Rave once again, asking for confirmation.

(Y/N)

"Yes, please open it up." Rave confirms, a bit excited about what's inside, since he's like a commoner, or worse, a beggar at this point because of his looks, and anything would be helpful in his current situation.

!!ERROR!!

!!System has been compromised!!

!!Error in data found, data has been removed!!

!!Existence of the error has been deleted!!

!!Recalibrating...!!

!!System Restored!!

(You've successfully finished the tutorial! A package was placed in your inventory, please check it)

"What? What are those errors? It feels ominous. Also, I have an inventory?." Rave said, wondering about those errors, with some worry as he didn't know what kind of error the system encountered.

If the system is based on the New Horizon game, then it should be using 'Serra,' the newly created Advanced AI, and errors like this are strange. A usual AI has 175 billion parameters, yet Serra already has 350 trillion parameters. Since parameters in AI, specifically in neural networks, are the internal variables (weights and biases) that the model adjusts during training to make accurate predictions. More parameters allow the model to learn complex patterns.

Because of this, Serra is not just a simple AI model; it's human-like in the form of a machine.

...

"Inventory!" Rave thought in his mind and immediately saw the package that the system was talking about. It's like a coin but more like a token, with nothing engraved but has a color of black like it's nothingness. But then he soon remembers what this token is for; he immediately opens the description of the token, and another prompt pops up.

"This... It's my first time seeing a token of talents, and this color... As far as I remember, it should have engraving on it, depending on what type of elements it has inside. Since the color of the token is dark? It's not bad, but dark skills usually have a low reputation," Rave said.

As far as he remembers, based on the forums he read, it's a game similar to New Horizon called EDEN.

Having dark skill is not actually a disadvantage, but given how the freedom of the game has now, NPCs can react like how a human reacts. Since dark skills look ominous, most are afraid of them; it has high attack power depending on the skill, but the cooldown of the skills is a bit longer than others.

'Since this is the case, might as well activate it. With a skill in my arsenal, I can surely defend myself.' Rave thought since he remembers that he's in a new world and a place he wasn't familiar with; having a skill is perfect.

Rave then proceeds to activate the Token; cracks start to show as it spreads around the token, then explodes into nothingness. Then, a transparent with a hue of black and red appears as a prompt in front of Rave. He takes a look, reads, and is flabbergasted by what he receives.
