[Characteristic formed:
Self aware]
[Characteristic developed:
Ambition -> High Ambition]
Reading these notifications, he thought: "This... this is not only how I am and feel; it reacts and develops with how I think—but it also strengthens or changes basic characteristics or emotions slightly based on conclusions I make?
Essentially, this gives me more control and amplification over what path I want to take. Or, if I don't keep myself in check, it gives control and application to wrong emotions and characteristics. Looking at it that way, this is a double-edged sword. But honestly, this is exactly the kind of double-edged sword that I like to make use of.
But still, I don't know the exact effects of these characteristics. 'Self aware' just gave me a feeling that I am not directly delusional, but that I simply have great ambition. This conclusion, on the other hand, triggered my ambition to develop into high ambition. The only difference I feel here is that it's more stable—in that I think I am way less likely to give up on my ambition. So it's high ambition in terms of better quality, not quantity... I think I got it."
Lost in thought, he heard a questioning "meow"; that brought him back to reality. As he turned to look at the cat, the status window disappeared automatically.
He decided to stand up and, while looking at the cat, said, "Hey, sorry to just appear out of thin air like that. I hope you don't mind too much." The cat, now that he took a closer look, was completely black with shimmering, well-kept fur. Most importantly, it looked satisfied with his apology, as evidenced by its next action—promptly going back to sleep.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
Having taken care of basic manners, he glanced in the direction of both alleyway ends before deciding to step out onto the main street to his left.
As he took his first steps, instead of focusing on the buildings and their style as usual, his attention was drawn to small light particles in the air. Strangely enough, they were barely visible from the alleyway, but now they looked like snowflakes of energy.
If it weren't for a group of people walking in front of him, he would have been more cautious about the particles.
As they touched his skin, he felt a slight energy increase in his body.
"Wait, what is this?"
He continued walking a few more steps, and as he passed through the particles, he heard a very quiet and soft notification sound in the back of his head.
Instantly, he said, "Status," which prompted his status window to appear, along with a notification over it.
[Congratulations, you stepped onto the streets of Eldoria, Vital City of Beginnings]
[Eldoria, Vital City of Beginnings special effect is active: Energizing star particles—particles heal wounds, grant experience over time, and more... Note: Because of this, Eldoria is a great place for any living being.]
"That seems very convenient, especially for a starter area," he thought, as the notification disappeared and his status was visible again:

"Great, my HP is full again, and I gained a tiny bit of experience. And that was only a few of them touching my body and being absorbed. What this essentially means is that I can walk around the city and discover it without having to worry about neglecting to level up or something. Having this in mind I want to go discover the city and talk to people, but I can't do so without a name—that would be weird..."
