Age of Primals

My name is Shin I do not know how or why I am here but I seem to have gone back in time several hundreds of thousands of years ago.

to sum up, the events that lead me here I was an archeologist and I was out on a dig uncovering remains of what we thought were the oldest known fossils of Homo sapiens, and when we analyzed them we were surprised to find that this specimen lived to the age of 200+ years in his time which was unheard of ever and he lived back 600,000 years ago, almost double the age of the oldest remains found

but the real kicker was we found some type of residual energy on the bones and when I touched the skull I was shown flashing images of hominins fighting in a great war and by hominins I mean there were Neanderthals, Homo sapiens, and even what one can guess were Denisovans!

and after that, I fell unconscious and when I woke up I was in a jungle or to be more accurate I was in the prehistoric days!

[Booting online....]

[Connecting to host....]

[Host identified]

[Welcome Host Shin Midnight]

w-w-what was that just now! Think you were just in the lab examining the new fossil when they found weird energy on it then I touched the skull and I felt woozy and passed out and... oh shit don't tell me I'm dead!

[Hosts vitals are stable]

0_0 where did that voice come from?

[The host's system]

my what now? why I'm here and where am I, what happened, and who you are?

[I am the Primal Survival system I am tasked with helping you survive this new world and to help make you into an Immortal Emperor]

did you say the new world! and what do you mean primal? and how did I acquire you?

[Host has been transmigrated to a parallel world of earth that is still in its Prehistoric era, host acquired the system after coming into contact with the last hosts remains]

If that was your last host why was I transmigrated to a new world?

[Hosts original world has lost all of its magic due to not being in use for tens of thousands of years, so to better help you achieve the goal of the system you were brought to a parallel world that still has its magic]

oh...

well might as well adapt to my new situation so tell me about this world and while you're at it explain magic and what year it is.

[Firstly like I said this world is almost completely identical to earth except for the amount of mana here is way denser than on earth and unlike earth with its many races and heritages here homo sapiens are all the same race]

hold on back up you mean to tell me all humans are the same race, does that mean all humans here are sub-Saharan Africans like our ancestors?

[No, all humans are similar looking to Spanish and southern Europeans because, in this world neanderthals are on the same level as humans population-wise and they resemble North Africans, while the Denisovans resemble Asians, and there are also beast folk in this world who inhabit the Americas alongside elves who are in South America respectively]

I see so like how we had races on earth where people are separated by species, an... WAIT YOU SAID BEASTFOLK AND ELVES EXIST!

[Yes as well as the dwarves who inhabit most of Scandinavia and iceland]

wow, so I really am in a whole new world amazing. next, can you explain how magic here works?

[There are two ways to grow stronger either become a mage which is extremely hard especially in this primitive time or become a battle knight or as the natives call it a warrior, firstly the tiers for a warrior are as follows 1st - 9th apprentice warrior which is the average realm for adults, next 1st - 6th warrior and lastly 1st - 5th master warrior who can take down 5 fighters of the minor realm below them and the pinnacle 1st - 3rd Grandmaster who each minor realm dictates how many lives they can take in an instant however at this time there are no grandmasters in this world and lastly a realm no mortal has dreamed of Sword Saint]

wow they can't even cast spells with mana and yet they are that strong amazing so how about mages?

[In this world they still call mages shamans and the tier system is very primitive as there are barely any mages, it goes as follows, novice shaman, shaman, and great shaman but the way you'll be ranked is 1st - 9th novice mage, 1st - 9th mage, 1st - 6th warlock, 1st - 5th great warlock and lastly 1st - 3rd Grand Magician and the very top which will likely never be reached by mortals is Ruler of Magic]

what is the average lifespan here?

[Like earth the average lifespan is 70 - 90 years old but that is for people living in the best conditions expectancy varies anywhere from 30 - 60 years on average due to high infant mortality rate. however, people who cultivate can extend their lifespan in every major realm for example every major realm adds 200 years to your lifespan, and at the very peak for both the lifespan is 2000 years, however, it can be prolonged by certain means which you are not allowed to know]

(p.s sorry for the major info dump I just wanted to get this out of the way so the story can progress smoother, once again sorry :) enjoy!)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

now with that out of the way, I think it is time to get my bearings, system where am I?

[you are in modern-day Italy]

do I have a staus card or something to look at?

[Yes all living creatures do, just say status or think it and It will appear]

status!

[Name: Shin Midnight]

[Age: 20]

[Class: none]

[Sub-Class: none]

[Strength: 17]

[Agility: 19]

[Endurance: 14]

[Inteligence: 25]

hmm... system what is the average stats for a 20-year-old in this world?

[The average is 10 - 15 in each and the average cultivation is 1st tier apprentice]

I guess you can say that I'm above average but what's up with intelligence?

[Since you are naturally smart your intelligence started higher, all beings gain a system once they hit puberty and their stats reflect the state of their body by then, although for less intelligent entities like bugs or animals their system only notify very basic things like if they are low health or if they are

related to someone/ their group]

now that I'm more up to speed with everything time to go adventure and find myself some shelter.
