Yan Luo stared in disbelief at the strange black and green screen hovering before him, his mind struggling to make sense of what was happening. "So, let me get this straight," he said, his voice laced with confusion. "You're saying that I've reincarnated on Earth?"
The mysterious voice from the system confirmed Yan Luo's suspicions, and he couldn't help but feel like his life was some sort of reverse isekai. A surge of emotions - confusion, excitement, and bewilderment - swirled inside him as he tried to process this new reality.
As the system continued to explain its purpose, Yan Luo furrowed his brow, considering the logic behind its creation. "But why create a system?" he asked, genuinely curious. "Why not just implant my past life memories directly into my brain?"
The system's response was immediate. "Can you imagine handling thousands of years worth of memories being implanted into you all at once?" Yan Luo fell silent, realizing the truth in the system's words.
"I suppose that makes sense," he admitted, his voice tinged with uncertainty. "But the protagonist in the novel made it sound so easy."
The system chuckled, its voice echoing through the empty space. "Well, novels aren't always accurate depictions of reality," it said. "Besides, we wanted to create something more like a library. After researching your world, I found inspiration and created this system."
Yan Luo listened intently, fascinated by the system's explanation. "A library? Like in Wuxia novels with martial arts libraries?" he asked, his mind racing with possibilities.
"Exactly," replied the system, its voice laced with excitement. "Didn't you read about it?"
Yan Luo nodded slowly. "Yes, but it sounds like it would be troublesome."
The system chuckled once again. "I promise, it won't be as troublesome as you think."
As the conversation came to a close, Yan Luo couldn't help but feel a newfound sense of understanding and appreciation for the system. It was like having a mentor, a guide, and a friend all rolled into one. And as he prepared to embark on this new journey, he knew that he could rely on the system to help him unlock his true potential.
"Wait a minute," Yan Luo interrupted, confused. "Why can't I access my full power?"
"You'll explode," warned the System.
"What? Why?" Yan Luo exclaimed in disbelief.
"Your body isn't suited for martial arts. You haven't practiced, and there's no need for it," explained the System.
"But I've practiced several times in the past year," Yan Luo protested.
"That's because there is a need to defend yourself. Your world has access to information at your fingertips, but your mind can't grasp it all," said the System.
Yan Luo's face contorted in confusion. "But what about those martial arts novels I've read? The protagonists can always access their full power," he said skeptically.
The System let out a small sigh. "Yes, they can. But you must remember that those novels are works of fiction. In reality, it takes years of practice and training to achieve such a level of mastery."
Yan Luo's shoulders slumped in disappointment. "So, what can I do then?"
The System's voice took on a reassuring tone. "Don't worry, there's still a lot you can do. You can access the knowledge in this system and learn the basic techniques. And with time and practice, you can develop your own unique style."
Yan Luo nodded slowly, feeling a glimmer of hope. "Okay, I'll do my best."
The System's screen flickered for a moment before a new window opened up. "I've already added some basic martial arts techniques to your inventory. Take some time to study them and familiarize yourself with the concepts," said the System.
Yan Luo nodded in agreement and began to study the techniques, his mind already buzzing with possibilities for his own unique fighting style.
Suddenly, Yan Luo's mind was shaken with the realization that he was actually a martial artist like the ones in wuxia novels and movies. "Wait, you're talking about these martial arts as if you live in a world full of martial artists like in wuxia novels," Yan Luo said, trying to make sense of it all.
The System, a manifestation of Yan Luo's past life consciousness, replied, "Yes, technically it is you. I am the ego of your past life, created to preserve your knowledge and experience when reincarnated."
"Wow, so I'm a martial artist like in those novels and movies," Yan Luo exclaimed, still in disbelief.
The System chuckled. "Yes, it's amazing that you just realized that, and what you call fantasy is reality for me."
But the System quickly dampened Yan Luo's excitement. "And I must say, this reality is not as great as the fictional things you get on Earth."
Yan Luo nodded in agreement, "Yes, I think so too. I can't stand those young masters if I ever meet them."
Yan Luo had many questions. "Alright, let's put that aside first. Are the instructions on how to use this system the same as the ones implanted in my mind?"
"Yes, they are the same. This system is only meant to make it easier for you to understand your current abilities. In reality, you don't actually need it if you are practicing or familiarizing yourself with your powers, but given the lack of time you have, I created this system to help you," replied the System calmly.
Yan Luo then wondered, "Why is there no leveling or mission function?"
"The leveling feature is only useful in-game. And as for the mission function, do you really want your life to be controlled by missions? After all, this is reality," explained the System.
Yan Luo pondered the System's words for a moment, considering the implications of being controlled by missions. It did make sense to have more control over his own life and decisions.
"I see your point. But how can I use my powers effectively without any missions or direction?" Yan Luo asked.
The System replied, "You don't necessarily need missions to use your powers effectively. You can use them in your daily life, to help others or yourself. You can also use them to explore and learn more about the world around you. Your powers are a tool, and like any tool, their effectiveness depends on how you use them."
Yan Luo nodded, understanding the System's point. He realized that he could use his powers in a variety of ways, beyond just completing missions. He felt a sense of freedom and excitement at the possibilities.
"Thank you, System. I appreciate your help and guidance," Yan Luo said, feeling grateful for the System's existence.
"You're welcome. Remember, your powers are yours to control and use as you see fit. I'm always here if you have any questions or need assistance," replied the System, with a reassuring tone.
Yan Luo felt a sense of relief and determination, knowing that he had the power to control his own destiny, with the help of the System. He was excited to see where his powers would take him next.
