Leif slowly opens his eyes, admiring the clear blue sky and enjoying the soft and fresh grass he is laying on. He knows that he has to stand up, he knows that something is wrong. Only a few more minutes, it's so refreshing.

Then it hit him. He jumped up and looked around. That isn't his bed! This doesn't feel like a dream at all!

It could be a lucid dream...

It doesn't feel like a dream, he still decides to test that, first by trying to fly.

That doesn't work, so he pinches himself, that hurts and he is still here.

Not being able to wake up, he decides to look around.

He is standing on a big plateau on the mountain site. On one site is dark pine forest going till the border of the plateau and a part is steep sandstone mountain cliff going higher than 8 meters, on the other site the view is truly impressive, spanning over a vast valley containing only forest restricted by imposing green mountains. Spotting a river in the distance, he closes his eyes and feels the cool wind on his skin. He can hear a few birds in the distance. Its a bit strange how even and flat the plateau is, and how there is not a single flower anywhere.

As he is in awe he starts to wonder where the hell he is and how he got there.

There is neither a road nor any tire tracks to be seen, only a small path that leads to the plateau and further up the mountain, but it seems like it did not find use in a long time.

"Where am I? And why am I even here?" he asks loud.

"Good Question" a high female voice answers behind him.

He turns around as fast as he can and did not expect what he sees there.

The girl with butterfly wings staring at him is 20cm tall and hovering in the air.

"That's why I'm here to explain it to you" she proudly exclaims with fists on the hips.

"What.." begins Leif before she disrupts him. "No questions!"

[ Welcome to the Templa System ]

He jumps back in surprise as a blue screen hovers before him.

[ Your class is Abbot (unique) (Lvl.1) ]

"Congratulations! You got a wonderful class!" the girl says.

"Whats an Abbot?" he asks.

"You don't know?" she says confused.

He says "No", wondering if that is common knowledge here.

"Well, there has to be a description" she says more hopeful than confident.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

He thinks about a description and one suddenly appears.

[ Class: Abbot (Lvl.1) ]

[ You are the head of the temple. You build and manage the temple. ]

That is a lot of responsibility, he thinks.

"It's mentally exhausting to appraise something for the first time"

She is right, he gets a small headache.

"Okay, now just try to open the main menu"

He thinks about it and a new screen appears, that lists multiple options.

"Looks like you got it. Time for me to go"

"Wait, what am I supposed to do here?"

"What? Well build temples of course!" she says smiling and disappears with a plop, only leaving a small cloud of glitter, that slowly gets blown away by the wind.

Leif sits down and takes a moment to process, what just happened.

He calms his fast beating heart and thinks about the next step.

As the Adrenalin wears off he starts to get hungry and looks around.

There is nothing to eat here and even if he finds mushrooms, he will not know if they are eatable.

He opens the menu again and looks if it could be of help.

He notices the inventory button and presses it in his mind.

He is a bit disappointed when he opens it and it only contains a two items.

The first is a canteen filled with water and the second are brown blocks.

He thinks about the description and it actually appears.

[ 21x Nutribar ]

[ A small and uninviting looking bar of nutrients. It tastes as good as it looks: bland and dry ]

It doesn't look good, but it will do.

He thinks about taking them out of the inventory and the items disappear from the inventory and materializes in his hand.

The sun already begun setting, so walkt over to the forest, to find a better place to sleep for the night, but before he reached the first pine a red screen pops up.

[ Warning ]

[ If you leave the dedicated area, you will lose your protection. ]

Before he could come to a stop he already placed a foot in the forest and a second red screen appears.

[ Warning ]

[ You are entering an area that has monster and beasts with higher level than you. Danger level: very high ]

The moment he reads this massage, he jumps back, and the red screens disappear.

That is bad. Beasts would hopefully avoid him for the most part but there is certainly a reason why monsters are called monsters. It's reasonable to assume that they eat humans.

He gives up on going into the forest for now and gets back to the middle of the plateau.

A small red dot gets his attention and he clicks on the 'Daily Login (0/7)' button.

The first daily gift is a tent!

At least he doesn't need to sleep outside today, even if there are surprisingly few bugs.

He immediately takes it and tries to get it out of the inventory.

It doesn't appear in his hands, before he could make the first step to look for it, he trips and falls.

Turns out the System spawned the tent directly in front of his feet.

He sets it up a bit annoyed, and no second to early, as it soon gets pitch black.

He opens the menu, but can't see it, it seems like the screen doesn't produce light.

Deciding that without a light source he couldn't do anything, he goes to sleep
