2 The First Appearance Of The System

Suddenly I appeared in a place similar to a forest with the only difference, that the place itself was surrounded by mountains, in addition, each tree was approximately 20 meters in size. Which really surprised me.

This reminded me that I was no longer on my home planet, Earth, now I am on a planet called Ligno, or at least that's how I remember it from the words previously spoken by Lilith.

I must admit that she really lives up to her title, because this place she has sent me to, is really beautiful. A really fantastic landscape with vast meadows, dense forests and a thin mist that filters the rays of the sun accentuating its beauty.

"Being in this place really makes me feel happy to stay alive and witness the power of nature in all its glory." Nick dreamily said after witnessing the purest source of life on all the planets and realities that exist, nature.

*******

"Well, what do I do now? How do I get out of this place?" Nick wondered.

I hope that there are no dangerous beasts in this place, because if that is the case I am screwed. Although I have knowledge of martial arts the truth is that bare fists do not work when it comes to fighting against claws and teeth as sharp as swords.

Well, I have to start moving, observing the direction of the sun I can say with certainty that the day has just begun.

But the real question here is, where am I going? If I remember correctly a former British special forces soldier and survival specialist said once on television that the best way to find a population was to walk downstream, but I have to take into account that the animals are usually near the banks of water, to cool off, and drink water, I do not know if the same applies here, but I must be cautious. So I will keep a certain distance from the river, but I will be guided by it.

Now that I remember, Lilith did not say that I would receive a system that would support me during my life, if so, how do I activate it? Do I have to call it out loud? Or do I have to imagine it in my mind and it will appear? Well, I don't lose anything trying, Nick thought.

"Let's try it then, system appears, system interface appears, hello Google, nope, it definitely doesn't work calling it out loud"

So I only have the mental option, but before trying mentally. I have to find a refuge; I do not want to be the same as the protagonists of the novels that I once read, and end up unprotected, and disabled in the middle of the forest after obtaining a large amount of information.

"Let's see" Nick began looking around for an ideal refuge when in the distance he sighted a small cave with no trace of recent activity about 300 meters from his current position. "I must be cautious," Nick thought.

Nick then started walking towards the cave, and unlike the novels Nick once read nothing happened everything went smoothly. So he entered the cave, and carefully checked it, for possible hidden predators."

Huff, for my luck there is nothing nor a paltry insect." Nick said relieved.

"Let's proceed with the system activation, then" Nick said excitedly as he took a seat on a secluded edge of the cave entrance.

System or Goddess System are you here!? Nick wondered mentally.

A female voice sounded then in Nick's mind. "Damn brat! What do you think I am, some kind of demon summoned by the Ouija!? No, let me tell you that I am a supposed divine system. You just have to think of me and I will appear! The female voice protested angry in Nick's mind.

Holy shit! That really surprised me, I never imagined the system that I always dreamed of would turn out to be rebellious against its own host. I wonder if I can return it to Lilith and get a kinder one.

"Hey brat you are aware that I can hear what you think"

"Oh god, a harassing system." Nick said surprised.

What, I'm not a stalker!" The voice said irritably.

"I see that you are my system. I am really glad to know that my system is a girl full of energy instead of a boring old man" Nick said relieved.

"Hum! Of course, my name is Lunae Lumen and just so you know. I am not some kind of object that you can return to the divinity that bless you with my presence."

"Your name is a little difficult to pronounce, so I'll call you Luna." Nick brazenly announced.

"Don't call me that way. Who gave you permission? You insolent brat," Luna raged once more.

"Calm down Luna, we will be working together from now on, so let's cooperate peacefully together." Okay.

"Well, you're right this time, but I won't allow you to disrespect me one more time, do you understand!?"

"Okay, my holy queen your dear partner and follower is proud to be your partner throughout this adventure." Nick satirically said.

"Hum! You better" Luna nodded satisfied with the answer

"Luna I have a little question to ask you."

"Ask me, I'm your system, right?" Luna said with bitterness hidden in her voice.

"So Luna if you said that your existence is not an object, what are you really? Who or what created you?"

. . . Luna remained silent for a long time.

After a long moment of waiting Luna finally spoke: "Nick, all you need to know now is that I am not really what I seem."

"What do you mean?" Nick asked with obvious confusion.

"It is nothing" Luna replied.

"Don't you want to know the benefits of the system?" Luna asked avoiding Nick's doubt.

Only then Nick remembered his true goal, so Luna "what are the benefits of the system!?" Nick asked expectantly. Totally forgetting the question he asked Luna.

Huuuf! Luna sighed in relief.

The benefits you can get from the system are much more than you can imagine, but with your current strength level the only thing you can access is the most common things you can buy from the store. Of course the store will update as your strength grows, you have to keep in mind that in the system store. You can buy many useful items according to your power level, but the maximum items according to each stage of your strength will be at most 1 or 2 levels higher than your own level.

"The way you can buy items in the store is through the system points." Luna said

"And how do I get system points?" Nick asked.

"That was what I was about to explain." Luna rolled her eyes and continued her explanation.

You can get system points by killing spirit beasts, magic beasts, etc. And this also includes certain humans indicated by the system in some special mission.

"Also, I have to warn you" Luna said seriously.

"Do not be naive believing that having a system will provide you a superior advantage compared with the other people on the planet, in fact that is a very erroneous thought since the system is only a support tool that helps you obtaining resources and improving your knowledge. Your growth only depends on your own talent and intellect to obtain the resources that you really need for your development. "Luna strictly warned Nick

Well, continuing with the description of another benefit you get is, a status window in which you can verify and improve your physical attributes; you have to take into consideration that these attributes can only be improved by performing exhaustive physical activities such as training or overcoming your Limits, also through system rewards for completing missions, or through luck.

"An extra fact that you have to take into consideration is that the system that you have will provide you with missions related to your daily life and your environment in general." Luna finally said.

I see, so this system is more complex than I used to read in the novels of my world, and it does not work as a specialized system for certain tasks such as the typical lust system or level-up system that I used to dream about, in my case It all depends on my environment, talent and wisdom to grow.

"Really interesting, I have to admit." Nick said with a cynical smile planted all over his face.

So I have to strategically play my cards or I'm going to fall off the tightrope I'm on.

"This only motivates me even more to discover what this world and its people have to offer." Nick thought expectantly.

"Don't be hasty, Nick," Luna said exasperated.

Remember that your new life is not just about wandering around various places without problems. You have to take into consideration that we will travel through many regions governed by the law of the jungle, where the strongest eat the weakest. Logically, this doesn´t apply to all regions of the multiverse but many of them are governed that way, so be careful. "Luna seriously remembered.

"Fine, I'll keep that in mind." Nick nodded seriously.

Well then with all the information said. Let's start our journey!
