"Ay, Klyde, hurry up. We were called and we gotta go do some test on that big robot y'all have been working on." a person with dark skinned person with black hair and blue tips and was wearing what looked like a futuristic like spandex outfit with platings like amor called out Klyde.
Klyde, a man with red hair and eyes wearing the same outfit as him, rolled his eyes as he closed his closed his locker. "The test room isn't that far so rilax, Mark. And it's a droid." He responded as he followed Mark.
They ended up in a room on a platform with 3 scientists and a large robot in the center. The robot had was light glay with blasters on its shoulders and a single, large, red circular optic the size of a human on its head.
"The IX-ORION-PM1, a beauty isn't it." one of the scientists said.
"Woah… So this is what you've been working on." Mark exclaimed.
"Yup, and Lizzie here and her friends helped. They just finished it and we're gotta get some data on it and test some stuff on how we can both pilot it. This is just a model 1 prototype." Klyde answered Mark
"The company's gonna love this." Mark said.
"Now that everything is checked we are going to activate it to test it." Lizzie pulled out a futuristic looking tablet and tapped a button. The IX's optic glowed and its head rose.
"Now to turn on the artificial control system, set to test mode." Lizzie said as she tapped more buttons. The IX started to look around on its own, stopping at each person in the room.
"Seems good so far…" Klyde stated.
A warning started playing on Lizzie's tablet "Error, Error. ACS is malfunctioning."
The robot's blasters then aimed at the other two scientist and shot them, killing them.
"Guys, quickly, get out!" Lizzie yelled.
The three ran to the door but the IX punched the wall breaking the platform and causing them to roll off to another below them.
"We're de-" Before Mark could finish his sentence, the IX punched the two, squishing them onto the wall. Their blood splatted on Klyde's face as he slowly looked at their direction, his eyes widened in fear and his heart beating like hell.
He would be the last one alive, though not for long as the IX picked him up by his head with two fingers and squished it.
As Klyde opened his eyes he looked around and saw he was standing in a black void. A glowing white person appeared in front of him.
"Where… am I?" Klyde asked person.
"You're at… umm… What do I call this place again? I still haven't thought of a name." The man responded.
'This guy can't be serious.' Klyde thought. "Who…are you…?"
"Call me Interstellar. The god of all gods"
Klyde's eyes widened in shock as apon hearing this information. A god above all gods.
"Yeah…Don't question it." Interstellar said.
This narrative has been purloined without the author's approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.
"Why am I here?"
"Simple, that big robot killed you so you're gonna get isekai'd. Though you're gonna have to do quests for me an stuff. Now goodbye~"
"Wait, what do you mea-!" Klyde yelled but got cut off as his body fell through a portal. He appeared in a plains with a town nearby. As he was about to stand a chest fell on his back.
'He said isekai'd… does that mean…?' He though and saw the nearby town that had a wall surrounding it. "Mission 1, make a harem!" He yelled as he quickly got up.
The thought of what happened in the IX-ORION-PM1 testing room seemed to not affect him and was practically out of his mind. He had gotten used to seeing people get killed n from of him as he had worked as a solder and the sight of blood didn't affect him.
He then payed attention to the chest behind him."Starter kit I guess?" He opened the chest and found a book with a hard cover and gold emblem, a pouch with coins and a card.
The card had his face, name, age, race, and level. He then checked the pouch and couldn't tell how much was in it, all he knew was that there was bronze, silver and gold coins. "This is totally a fantasy world! Thank you interstellar!".
A screen then appeared in front of him.
«A man of culture I see.»
«The book has information on this world. Everything's in English including languages to make my job easier.»
«Goodluck»
« Status | Stats | Quests | Shop | Inventory »
"Wait, Is this a system? Like in a video game or those lighnovels I read?" Klyde said as he read over what was desplayed in front of him. He focused on the Status option like he was trying to open it mentally, and it worked.
«Status»
‹Name: Klyde Tolan›
‹SLevel: 1›
‹Exp: 0/100›
‹Health: 100/100›
‹Status: — ›
‹Stamina: 100/100›
‹Hunger: 100/100›
‹Mana: 100/100›
"I'm gonna enjoy my new life here!" Klyde said as he jumped excitedly as his idea had worked then looked back at it again.
"Yikes, That is way too much stuff though , but what's the difference between stats and status, just sounds stupid." He then though of opening the Stats menu.
«Stats»
⟨ Menu | Quests | Shop | Inventory | ⟩
‹Stat points: 0›
‹SLevel: 1›
‹Health: 5›
‹Strength: 3›
‹Speed: 2 ›
‹Stamina: 1›
‹Magic: 2›
‹Mana: 10›
"And it gets worse…" Klyde sighed "So I'm level 1, but it's called SLevel, unlike on my card. Guess the system uses its own level system."
«Quests»
‹Conquer Erina›
‹No quests available›
"Wait, what do you mean, 'conquer Erina'?! Is he nuts?!"
«No, I'm not»
«And yes, you'll do it. And don't dare try avoiding»
"Woah! I'm guessing that's interstellar. Fine, I'll play along!"
«Good boy»
"Why you…" Klyde sighed and closed the system. "So I do just have to think of it closing. I should head to that town there to see some civilizations, maybe read along the way."
With that, Klyde started heading in the direction of the town while reading the book.
"There are three types of magic: elemental, status, and cogni magic." Klyde read. "Elemental is focused on the 6 elements: Fire, water, wind, earth, light, and dark. Status magic is focus on: Healing, Strengthening, Weakening, poisoning and other status effects. Cogni magic is advanced spells like: construction, deconstruction, energy attacks, teleportation and other assorted things."
He finally arrived at the city and there were two knights guarding the entrance.
"Card please." One of the nights said.
Klyde remembered the card he got from the chest and handed it to the knights.
"Hmm… What odd clothing you wear. It looks… what's that word again, Leon?"
"Technological, Crawd." the other knight answered.
"Yes, technological. Are you perhaps from Skypiria?"
"No…?" Klyde answered.
"Interesting… well, you're free to pass." the first knight gave him back the card and the gate opened.
Klyde sighed in relief as he was allowed to answer, but one question came to his mind. Does this world have modern technology?
"What should I do while I'm here? Wait, I can register in one of those adventure guilds!" With that he started running around looking for a building that would look like a guild.
He saw a building with the text Adventures Guild and walked in. The moment he entered all eyes were on him.
"Is he Frostinian?"
"He has to be Skypirian"
"Is he rich or something?"
"Why would a person like him be here?"
"He has to be strong or something."
It was clear the clothes he was wearing were getting him attention. He decided to ignore the people and walked straight to guild lady.
"Excuse me miss."
"Hi there,my name is Aella, I'm the guild attendant here, nice to meet you."
"My name is Klyde and I'd like to register as an adventure here." Klyde said.
"Just give me a moment please." Aella said and left the room. She came back with a peice of paper that looked like a form. "Fill out these papers and hand me your card then you'll be good to go."
Klyde started by filling out the form.
[Name: Klyde Tolan]
[Sex: Male
[Age: 22]
[Race: Human]
[Notable feats: None]
[Combat Experience: None]
[Other guild affiliations: None]
After filling it out the form he handed Aella the form and his card.
She left with the card and the form to another room. A minute later she came back, though the card had changed color from black to white. "Your rank is now rank F, you'll be promoted to E once you reach level 21, you can only do missions 10 levels above yours. If you have any questions feel free to ask." The lady smiled.
As people heard his rank, some looked away, hearing he's not that strong after all.
"Actually, I have a couple. First, why do I need to fill in my personal information when I can just hand you my card? And how do ranks work?" Klyde asked.
"Well, if someone doesn't have a card or lost it, that info is used to make them a new one. Further more we might need more info on the person so the forms are there. And we will need a copy of your data. The card is just for checking your level. For the ranks, each rank is determined by level. F is 1-20, E is 21-50, D is 51-80, C is 81-150, B is 151-200, A is 201-300, S is 301-500, S+ is 501 to 1000. SS is 1001 and above" The lady answered.
"Levels go that high huh. Leveling is going to take a while then."
He went to one of the seats and down alone to read his book. Suddenly his system's quest tab opened itself.
