In the sprawling city of Eldoria, where towering spires cast long shadows upon intricate stone pathways, and the streets are like labyrinths for untrained eyes, a sense of anticipation hung in the air. The sun's warm embrace bathed the bustling streets, giving life to a symphony of sights and sounds that reflected the very lively nature of the city.
Amidst the vibrant, active streets of Eldoria, a figure materialized at the outskirts of the city, as if conjured by the very fabric of destiny itself. This mysterious newcomer, shrouded in a sense of enigma, took his first steps on the cobblestones. As his weight and being became denser, his gaze filled with a mix of wonder and curiosity.
In the first few moments, he was both mentally and physically not at full capacity. Even though that was the case, questions popped up in his head in rapid succession, first the ones most relevant to his survival: "Am I safe?" "Is there any danger around?" He looked around in a fast but calm manner, as if he had trained for such an occurrence. He relaxed pretty quickly, as only a cat was nearby, and he seemed to be in some alleyway that was open on both ends but seemingly rarely used by people nonetheless.
The moment he relaxed, realizing he was not in immediate danger, a piercing pain shot into his head, and he felt a strong urge to say a certain word—like a newborn instinctively taking their first breath, or a scream after someone felt a surge of sudden pain. "Status," he said out loud, prompting a status screen to appear out of thin air. Even seeing this, his sharp mind prompted him to worry more about someone seeing it than what was on the screen in the first place. But seeing as the cat, in front of which the screen popped up, did not react at all and was still just looking at him, he deduced that either the cat and nobody else could see the screen, or just certain people could see it. As a consequence, he relaxed enough to look at the screen in more detail; after all, whatever information he would find could be indispensable to his survival.

While reading, he realized that this information resonated with him. He knew that the information presented was accurate since, besides the raw numbers, these were just things that he knew about himself anyway. Would that mean that the reason some of it was hidden or deducted was because he wasn't aware of it, or was it because he had to do some things to unlock them first? "Whatever the case, first I should collect some general information, especially about the Characteristics. They seem to just describe my character, while 'Worldchanger' seems more like a statement than a characteristic. Still, at the same time, I can't deny that it's what I feel I want to do—change the world for the better wherever I am," As considered this a very familiar feeling coursed through his body, as if his body was reacting to his thoughts and signaling him that he was on the right path.
At the same time, he thought, "Seems like I am a more delusional type of person. Even knowing this, I still believe I can change the world—making evident that I probably am pretty delusional." With this rather unconventional but logical conclusion, he came to his senses. He wanted to learn more about his surroundings, but a sudden popup in the status window that was still in front of him was more interesting for the moment.
