The vast landscape unfolded before Alex, revealing a breathtaking panorama. Hills rolled gently in the distance, adorned with vibrant wildflowers swaying in the soft breeze. A crystal-clear river meandered through the terrain, reflecting the azure sky above. Majestic trees stood tall, their leaves whispering tales of ancient secrets. The air carried a sweet fragrance, a blend of blooming flowers and the earthy scent of the soil. Birds painted streaks across the sky, adding life to the picturesque canvas. The warmth of the golden sun enveloped everything, casting a gentle glow on the newfound world. It was a scene of serene beauty, inviting Alex to explore its wonders.
As Alex stood in the midst of the enchanting scenery, his thoughts turned to his family. The beauty of the surroundings couldn't dispel the concern that lingered in his mind about their well-being. He pondered on the idea that if he, a mere individual, had been transported to this new world, there must be others as well—perhaps even people from ten different planets.
The realization struck him that encounters with fellow travelers were imminent. Excitement and caution intertwined in his thoughts. While the prospect of meeting others fueled a sense of connection, he couldn't shake off the need for caution. The unknown nature of this world and its inhabitants required a vigilant approach.
As he gazed at the expansive landscape, Alex contemplated the possibilities that awaited him, both in terms of the unknown wonders of the world and the potential meetings with other beings like himself.
In the solitude of the enchanted surroundings, Alex's consciousness was gently nudged by a subtle prompt from the system. A holographic interface materialized before him, presenting a series of instructions that would serve as his guide in navigating this mystical world.
The tutorial began with a concise explanation of basic controls, ensuring that Alex understood how to interact with the environment and access essential features. Through simple gestures and spoken commands, he familiarized himself with the means to explore the Nexus and its wonders.
As the tutorial progressed, the system introduced the fundamental concept of quests—a vital aspect of his journey. Each quest, a beckoning call to adventure, was presented as an opportunity to unravel the mysteries of the realm, gain valuable experience, and contribute to his growth.
The importance of experience points was emphasized, serving as the currency of progression in this newfound existence. Alex grasped the significance of embarking on quests, not only to fulfill objectives but also to accrue experience points that would shape his character and unlock new potentials.
With the tutorial providing clarity on these fundamental mechanics, Alex felt a sense of readiness to embark on his quest-filled journey in this magical world. The holographic interface dissipated, leaving him with a newfound understanding of the tools at his disposal.In the twilight of the Nexus, with cosmic energies gently swirling around him, Alex pondered the imminent challenges. Aware of the dangers that lurked in the mystical nights, he resolved to secure his survival by crafting a shelter. His decision led him to venture into the mysterious forest ahead, a realm shrouded in both beauty and peril.

Before delving into the unknown, Alex consulted his status screen. His inventory revealed a weathered wooden wand and a worn-out magic robe, the latter offering a modest boost to magic resistance. Intrigued by the potential benefits, he equipped the robe, triggering a new stat—magic resistance, now marked at 8.
With his newfound gear and stat, Alex embarked on his exploration, guided by the instinct to forge a sanctuary in the enchanted woods. The forest, alive with sentient trees and unseen mysteries, demanded caution. Alex remained vigilant, his senses attuned to the peculiarities of this magical realm.
As he traversed deeper, the forest's silence gave way to an unexpected encounter—an elusive goblin, its malevolent eyes fixated on Alex. Unaccustomed to the art of combat, Alex hesitated, grappling with the fear of his first confrontation.
Summoning courage, he decided to test the magic he had acquired during class selection. With a resolute shout, he cast a fireball at the goblin, dealing a modest but effective blow. The goblin, wounded but not defeated, retaliated with a swift dagger strike, cutting Alex's arm.
Fighting through the fear, Alex pressed on, landing a decisive blow that vanquished the goblin. The system responded with notifications—+5 exp and +2 stats. Grappling with the weight of his actions, Alex placed the gained stat points into his magical reserves, choosing to bolster his mana pool.
A glance at the status screen revealed a progress bar—5/100 exp—a testament to his embryonic journey in this fantastical world. Overwhelmed by the gravity of his first kill, Alex paused, finding solace in the silent embrace of the enchanted forest. He calls Staus as the screen appears

After a moment of introspection, he steeled himself, recognizing that this was his new reality. With a mix of determination and trepidation, Alex moved forward, concealing himself in the shadows, his mana diminished but spirits unwavering. The Nexus had woven a tale of survival, and Alex had taken his first steps into the unknown.
In that moment of reflection, Alex couldn't help but feel the weight of the situation. If he had been calm and collected, he might have recalled the tales from novels and mangas that portrayed goblins as creatures often found in hordes. The realization could have triggered a sense of fear, urging him to run for his life. But, who could blame him?
He was just an ordinary person, not the protagonist of a novel with plot armor and destined triumphs. The courage he thought he had was now overshadowed by the stark reality of his actions. It was a stark reminder that this new life, no matter how fantastical, was not a scripted adventure with a guaranteed hero's journey. Alex was just an average guy trying to survive in a world that cared little for narrative conventions.He was not a main character of a novel with a plot armour right ? ..... right??ahh he would understand it a hard way...
