Ethan murmured inquiringly, "User profile?" and a series of translucent green text materialized before him.

Ethan was astonished and astounded by the deluge of details that presented itself to him. His countenance was quickly transformed from one of joy to one of puzzlement. He sauntered to the couch and reclined, attempting to make sense of the data before him.
"Video Games! Just like in video games," he exclaimed.
In the user profile, there were many selections to access the features of the System. Starting from the primary choice, the Profile. It included essential user information such as name, age, and race.
"Race? Why should that be included? Could there be other races in the future? An elf, perhaps?"
He contemplated the potential presence of Elves, who were often depicted as having beautiful and attractive looks in fiction and video games.
"Is this really Mjolnir? Am I dreaming? Could it be Thor's hammer?" he wondered while still examining the data on the screen.
“What about stats points?”
Five attributes determine how much power the user has, much like in video games, this determines the ultimate worth of the user's features.
"Strength should be related to physical strength and attack. Maybe the value of Strength will affect the physical attack value?" Ethan pondered, attempting to link the information in front of him to the general rules found in many video games. To make it simpler to comprehend, he decided to distribute the four additional status points he had among the four status points he had, leaving only Magic, which only affects magical attacks and mana points (MP).

“Strength will change the physical attack value and weight capacity.”
Ethan paused for a moment, attempting to commit the knowledge he had just acquired to memory.
"Right, and the remainder contribute to Stamina, Dexterity, and Constitution."
[1 stats points successfully added to Stamina]
[1 stats points successfully added to Dexterity]
[1 stats points successfully added to Constitution]
Ethan uttered the rest, and each Stats Point seemed to modify the value of distinct attributes. The Constitution would influence HP and defense.
“Can HP signify the condition of my body? If the HP value drops to zero, would I lose my life?”
Dexterity would alter the value of Speed and Quickness, more than likely related to sprinting speed and attacking maneuvers.
And finally, Stamina transformed the values of Willpower and Energy, which he also couldn't comprehend with those two characteristics.
“That was a lot of information at once.”
He tried to ignore some minor details and made up his mind to study them one by one.
'My body definitely feels stronger. My appearance looks more aesthetically pleasing, my height has also increased noticeably. And why are my base stats all worth one, aside from Magic? Does this mean that my Magic is above average?'
Ethan beamed, then got up, strode to the middle of the room, kicked some broken glass and wood scattered on the floor, and jumped in succession.
Ethan pulled off the tattered and blood-stained shirt he had been wearing. Then, clenched his fists and examined the muscles in his arms and abs that obviously resembled someone who visits the gym regularly to exercise.
"Is this too much? Hmm, but I'm quite taken with it," thought Ethan as he attempted to do push-ups, sit-ups, and a few other exercises. He felt an unfamiliar sensation as he repeated the motions and noticed that his sweat wasn't flowing as profusely as it normally would.
"My body is totally different now," he exclaimed.
"Yahoo!" he yelled while jumping and throwing his fists in the air. "All right, what else can I do?"
The System had several appealing features, one of which was the Inventory.
"Inventory?" Ethan asked while looking at the small screen in front of him.

A flood of data concerning the Inventory feature emerged.
Inventory enables users to store items in certain dimensions without having to carry them manually or in a bag.
One item seemed to be associated with the power he obtained when he got the evolution. Nevertheless, he was more eager to test the Inventory feature before attempting to handle a mini hammer-shaped weapon he saw before him.
“How do I use this Storage feature?”
He then grabbed the shattered glass on the floor and mumbled,
“Put it in inventory.”
The shards of glass in his grasp vanished, and the Inventory information was quickly modified.

"It appears that the Inventory organizes items by type. What if I need to bring more stuff?"
A lightbulb moment struck him, and he quickly grabbed the large suitcase in the corner of the room and filled it with clothes. He then attempted to place the bag into the Inventory and was successful.
Ethan then tried to fit the refrigerator in the corner of the room into the Inventory, but it didn't work. He concluded that there must be a limit on the size of items that can be placed in the Inventory. Bracing for the worst, he quickly packed some essential items into one suitcase and another container to store food and drinks from the refrigerator.

"No one can predict the future, so I should be ready, correct?"
Ethan went to the restroom, gazed at his reflection in the large mirror, and beamed with delight at his transformation. He quickly showered, then changed into fresh clothes, discarding the ones he had been wearing, which were tattered and stained with dried blood.
He was determined to venture to a wider area to test out his newfound abilities and learn more about the current situation outside. Before leaving, he decided to double-check the extra information on the System.
“Equip the Mjolnir?”
