Chapter 1 – Awakening

Trevor woke up groggily as he groaned and rolled around. “The fuck? It’s goddamn cold, where’s…” As he sat up, rubbing his eyes as he felt brush of cold wind on his face. Wind? He blinked as he looked around and finally realized… that there wasn’t a room, let alone a house around him! Where was his bed?! He jumped up letting out a bellow. “WHERE IS MY BED?! GOD DAMN IT…” Grumbling as he thought he was a victim to one of his brothers’ pranks. This wasn't time to do pranks! He had work today! Oh man, the boss will kill me for being late... I'll be lucky if I'll  keep my job! Those fuckers... Other breeze rolled by and realization dawned on him...

“Hey… wait a minute.” He looked down to only realize he wasn’t even wearing a single piece of clothing. In other words, he was completely naked. He let out a roar. “You bastard! I’ll get you back, Aaron! Fuck!” He grumbled as he took a look around the landscape… to only realize that he doesn’t recognize it. “Wait, where I am? This…” He glanced around at empty grassy plains with forest in distance as winds rolled across it with two shining sun in the sky, with one slightly bigger.

He blinked and rubbed his eyes then looked at the suns again. “Huh? Two suns? But Earth… had… only one? Where am… I?” He looked around nervously, hoping that there was no wild beasts near to him after all he is naked. Sadly his luck was not all that great as strange looking creature – akin to bear with glowing crystals studded across his fur was roaming not far from him. With all sudden actions that Trevor did, it can’t help but notice a delicious meat that’s offering himself to the beast. Naturally it starts to charge after Trevor…

“Fuck fuck! Why it’s chasing me?! Does God hate me?!” As he ran wildly from the bear… strangely enough it never managed to catch up Trevor as he hid behind the tree. “God… Who knew I could run that fast?” He blinks as he attempts to stay quiet as possible. That was when the first hint of his location descended upon him.

An automatic voice rang into his head. “You have activated Stealth. To remove its effects, you have to simply think ‘Stealth Off. It can be turned off by being disruptive such as shouting. Thank you.’-???Then it ended there. Trevor was thoroughly confused. “What?! Stealth? Who are you? Where am I?!” as he shouted barricades of questions,  to strange voice in his head but alas, there was no answer, forgetting that he was hiding from strange bear that was chasing him. Due to his shouts, even with his Stealth, the bear managed to find him while he was distracted. Trevor could only look up at the giant bear in terror as he flung his fist against the bear’s paw in last desperate attempt to fend him off...

And the bear was sent flying across the forest, smashing into the bark of a tree, confusing the bear thoroughly. Also confusing Trevor. “Huh? I… just did that? What?” As the bear lets out savage roar and charged at the naked human. Trevor could only stand there, absolutely still as his body acted on its own and punched the bear again, promptly pulverizing his head into bloody mess. Now only one in forest is Trevor who has no idea what hell is going on and freaked out for a bit.

“… I don’t remember myself being this strong.” After calming himself down a bit, he looked down at the corpse of the bear that had attacked him. He bent down and took look at it then a realization dawned on him. “Hey, isn’t this The Gem Bear, only measly level 30 creature in Asaris Online? Why it is here…?” He pondered for a bit before laughing. “No way. There’s no way that I somehow got transferred to the world of Asaris and got trapped in here like Light Novels I've read! hahaha… No way… Impossible.” He laughed again, shaking his head. How that could be possible, it was utterly ridiculous!

“Ah well better to disprove it now rather than later. Let’s see, how those Light Novels do it… Ah yeah, something like this...

" And unbelievably, it did open up showing various options for his graphic settings and so forth. However it is greyed out and it was not possible to operate it. Trevor could only stand there in disbelief. “No… way.” He could not believe it, he needed more proof. So next thing he did was shout out “Character Screen!” As a translucent screen popped up, stating all status information and it was:

Name(Level):Kain(100)Race:HumanClass:RogueSpecializationGod of DeathHealth:946,440Mana:N/AStrength:2,414Agility:16,412Intellect:1,414Stamina:15,774

And rest of his status displayed his numbers that was almost exactly same as the ones that he had in Asaris Online… expected they had been doubled. Instead of having 473,220 health, he had 946K and everything else was doubled from its original value for some reason. However all of his titles, achievements and so forth was listed right there.

There was no question to it. This is the character that he had from Asaris Online but… it was different. He muttered out loud. “What the fuck is God of Death?” Just as he muttered that… An automatic voice rang out in his head. “God of Death is advanced class that is given to highest ranking living being that have achieved under the class ‘Rogue’ to its maximum potential. The benefits of it that it gives increased status by 2x, special skills and one passive skill. For God of Death classification, you receive ‘Immortality’ as your passive skill. If you need more information please state ‘More Information on Thank you.” -???

Just like that, the voice came and disappeared. As realization dawned on him. This must... be something like a system that is somehow still operating in this seemingly alive world? He cleared his throat. “Help on Immortality.” He could just check his new skills later in the Skillbook. The automatic voice came again; “Immortality: It grants the owner of the title of ‘God of Death’ immunity from death no matter how grave the death is. However, more grave the death is, longer it takes the user to recover. While you do have safety net of immortality, it is not recommended to use to be reckless. Thank you.' -System 

Trevor – or now Kain snorted as the voice disappeared from his head. “Yeah right. As if I would run into my death. That got to hurt.” He shakes his head, letting out sigh as he stared at his character screen as he muttered. “Where is my Assassination Spec and Combat Spec too…?” Again, the voice appeared in his head. “Dual Specializations for their class specialization which no longer exists. Due to being one of holders of Dual Specializations, you may have second class as compensation. You can select available class to your race.” Kain blinked as he thought about it, wouldn’t that mean I, who is a player is capable of playing rogue and other class at same time?! Abrupt voice popped up in his voice. “No. You can only play one class at any time. It functions much like Dual Specialization. To activate other specialization you will require to take five minutes of concentration and all of your available resources to convert, thereby leaving you utterly weak for a bit. ”

This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

He sighed. That explains the absence of his specs at least. From what he gathered from the voice it would seems all spec and skills of a class has been rolled into one class… Interesting. However, I have to get dressed first. I chuckled as I waved my hand. “Item Box.” As translucent box appeared front of him… Filled to brim with various items. “Hmm, I already decided on the class I will be using so I should dress like it. Nothing too fancy since I don’t know anything about this world even if it is Asaris Online… I can’t assume it’s same as what I think it is.” As he looked into his item box and found his beloved creation – or at least he used it often in raids and the likes. He wondered what it would be like in this world. Would it still act like NPC or…? As he pulled out mechanical being out of Item Box, however it was not online. As Kain looked at it and information to operate it just easily flowed into him as though he knew it whole time.

He turned it on. It made noises for a bit as it started up and then a resolute voice rang out “ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE JEEVES IS NOW ONLINE.” -JEEVES Then in next second. “Master Kain, how may I serve you?”- JEEVES It acted as though it was living and even smiled at him. If any other denizens were there, they would be flabbergasted since this was extremely, extremely rare and even more so of those beings to bow to other beings it was unheard of! However, Kain knew nothing of this and returned the smile. “Great, I’m glad you’re here, Jeeves. Can you connect to my Void Storage and also see if you can connect to the Guild Bank.” -Kain Jeeves made a beeping sound “Acknowledged tasks, executing processes…” –JEEVES Kain made a quiet chuckle, it would look like the beings of this world is truly living, not like those of Virtual Reality… Not that it matters. Jeeves’ voice disrupted his thoughts “Proccesses COMPLETED. Void Storage is CONNECTED. Guild Bank of FAILED TO CONNECT due to extraordinary security measures. Do you wish me to attempt break in?” –JEEVES

Kain shook his head. “No thanks, Jeeves. Please display the Void Storage as I need something from it.” he let out embarrassed laugh, after all he was naked! Even if person across him is a machine, he was still embarrassed. JEEVES nodded and executed his request right away as his eyes shone for a bit, displaying entirety of Void Storage for him to browse though.  After a while, he finally settled on simple brown robe and wooden stave. Why  a level 100 rogue would even have those? Simple answer is that he dislike not having anything. You could say that he is a collector. Kain glanced at my character screen. “Well I guess I am ready. Switch to Second Class!” after 5 min of focus he spoke in firm tone to invisible air. As he expected, a voice rang out in his head. “You have switched to Second Class. We have noticed that you have yet to select a class. Please make a selection from: Warrior, Paladin, Mage, Warlock, Druid (LOCKED: Available to Elves only.), Shaman (LOCKED: Available to Orcs only.)”-System Kain let out a smile. “In a world where he can fight with his swords… but he has already played on that side enough. Time for him to roll as spell caster.” he cleared his throat. “I select Mage as my Second Class.” The voice rang out: “Are you sure?”-System he nodded my head but then he realized this invisible entity probably can’t see him. “Ah, yes.”-Kain

Soft light enveloped around him, it was soft blue as information rammed into him… Or not really. He learned only simple Fire, Water, Wind, Earth and Arcane Balls and Blasts?! Doesn’t mages have super-destructive spells?! He blinked in confusion as he waved his hand. “Status!”-Kain As his character screen popped up:

Name(Level):Kain(1)Race:HumanClass:MageProfession:Engineering(700)

Leatherworking(700)Health:154Mana:155Strength:8Agility:10Intellect:24Stamina:11

Kain blinked again. Fuck… It looks like if he switches to one of class it starts off at bottom. Ah well so much for instantly reaching to peak of the mountain. Those are sure shitty stats… he shook my head as he looked around. “Well I need get out of here and reach closest town.” He glanced at JEEVES who was standing there, awaiting for next command. “Jeeves, do you know closest town from here?” JEEVES quickly processed his request and reported that there was a road not far from where he was standing. Kain grinned and then realized that maybe, JEEVES became rare item or something like that since he doesn’t know what exactly is going on. “Hey Jeeves… Can you change your shape?”-Kain JEEVES again quickly processed his question and promptly answered “Master Kain, I am able to change my shape at will. Do you wish me to do so?”

He quickly nodded “Yeah Jeeves. Please change it into bracelet or something like that and remain silent unless I directly tell you to speak.” JEEVES quickly executed his orders and transformed himself into a bracelet as Master Kain had ordered. “Is this satisfactory?” Kain picked up Jeeves that’s in shape of a bracelet now, it was black with strange markings on it and oddly looked like a machine but it was impossible for it to be in that shape – at least in Earth. “Yeah, this is perfect Jeeves. Thanks, you can go on standby mode now.”-Kain Then he set off to find that road that Jeeves had mentioned… His journey in Asaris world has only just begun.
