Village
As he chuckled, Fero recalled the goddess's warning about not causing harm; otherwise, the gods themselves would come to punish him. "Hahahaha, stupid bitch thinks she can fool me that easily. If they could do that, why bother sending me to this world to save it? The things I've done in my past world are nothing compared to what I'll do here. With magic at my disposal, I'll wreak chaos!" Fero declared defiantly, looking up at the sky and mocking the gods, "Fucing bitches! You're all dumb for sending me here! HAHAAHAH!"
He continued his journey across the rugged path, surrounded by the imposing forest, until he eventually reached the path's end. Standing at the edge of an enormous cliff, he gazed down at the vast expanse that unfolded before him.
Even for Fero, the panoramic view was nothing short of awe-inspiring.
In the air above, numerous floating islands hovered, cascading water down upon them, while the blue sky played host to dragon-like creatures soaring through the air. The land, painted in vibrant shades of green, extended beyond the limits of his vision, its sheer size rendering it indiscernible.
"What kind of world is this? Looks fucking colossal!" Fero exclaimed, and then he noticed a small dot in the massive land. squinting his eyes to see better, he spotted a small village.
Immediately, his senses urged him to explore it, excitement coursing through him as he anticipated uncovering the mysteries of this new and expansive realm.
Staring straight down, he pondered the significant drop and contemplated how he might descend from the cliff. Then, he realized he had a bit of assistance on his side.
With a sly grin, he uttered, "System, open." However, to his surprise, nothing happened.
"Hmm, Did the system die because of my throw earlier?" Fero wondered, quickly dismissing the thought. "Systems are immortal or something... SYSTEM, OPEN UP THE FUCK UP BEFORE I FORCE YOU TO!!" His sudden outburst echoed through the forest, startling birds into flight.
And it worked. The green screen materialized, and a small fairy popped up.
"Y-Yes?" she asked, visibly frightened.
"Don't make me call you twice again. Anyway, how can I get down from here? Should I just jump or something?"
"D-Don't do that!" she stammered, worried. "You would get yourself killed!" she added before her demeanor shifted, and she smirked. "I can give you a starter pack if only you apologize to me."
Fero, inraged by her proposition, glared at her with immense killing intent. The system immediately recognized that an apology wasn't on the agenda today, and with a snap of her small fingers she placed a brown bag in his inventory.
Smacking the fairy out of the way like a fly, Fero clicked on the item. A pop-up appeared, saying: [Do you wish to open: Yes/No].
Fero clicked Yes and imidatly out of the screen a bright white energy came and entered Feros mouth.
Choosing 'Yes,' a bright white energy emerged from the screen, entering Fero's mouth. His eyes widened, breath held, as the energy slowly traveled to his stomach until it was all inside.
Once the process was complete, Fero gasped for breath, dropping to his knees and breathing heavily. Kneeling and barely breathing, he glared at the system, demanding, "What the fuck did you do to me?"
"N-Nothing... I just awakened your magic."
"Magic..." Fero was momentarily stunned before jumping back to his feet, eyes glittering. "Good work, bitch!" he praised her, Before he abruptly sprinted towards the edge and jumped off the cliff, laughing.
Left speechless, the system instantly flew to his side, warning, "Fool! You will die!"
"If you don't want me to die, teach me some magic!" Fero shouted against the massive air pressure and loud wind hitting him.
"Shout 'Air Legs!' before landing!" the system instructed.
Just as Fero reached the ground and became pancake, he bellowed, "Air Legs!" with all his might. The stored energy in his stomach flowed down to his legs, generating a burst of air that propelled him upward just before landing, mitigating the impact of the five-meter fall.
After an entire hour had elapsed, Fero gradually regained consciousness, finding himself disoriented and bewildered.
As he rose to his feet, he instinctively massaged his throbbing head, attempting to make sense of his surroundings.
He looked at the distant village and started walking slowly towards it.
In his state of confusion, Fero sought answers from an unexpected source, directing a query towards the system. "System, what happened? How am I alive?"
The system promptly materialized, offering an explanation. "You managed to cast a last-second spell, averting death. However, your survival was uneasy, and without my help in channeling magic through your feet, your fate would have been different."
"Good shit. Now go back into your screen and shut up." With a nonchalant wave, Fero dismissed the system.
Upon entering the village, Fero's expectations were swiftly deflated by the stark reality that unfolded before him.
From afar, it looked good, but now that Fero was there, he realized it was a shithole. Clay huts comprised the dwellings, while unkempt people wandered aimlessly amidst a village marred by a flowing, muddy river.
Expressing his disappointment audibly, Fero vocalized his discontent. "What the hell is this shit?"
As he looked around the small, shitty village, an old man spotted him and gasped.
"God has bestowed upon us a Den!" The old man exclaimed, rushing towards Fero and dropping to his knees.
Perplexed, Fero gazed down at the man but was quickly distracted by the rest of the villagers streaming out of their shitty homes, all kneeling around him.
"What the fuck, man? Why are y'all kneeling?" Fero questioned, standing amidst a circle of people ranging from children to man and woman and even old people on bended knee.
The old man who had first noticed Fero replied, "Such language must be used only by the Den's. Please forgive our ignorance, but we are unable to understand."
Taking a moment of silence, Fero realized they were speaking in a formal and regal tone.
In an attempt to mimic it, he inquired, "Why must you kneel before me?"
