Ethan woke up to find himself in a strange new world. He had no memory of how he got there or why he was here, but he knew that he needed to figure it out quickly. As he stood up, he noticed that he was wearing strange clothes that looked like they belonged to a medieval world. He had a long black katana on his back, and a LitRPG like system had appeared in front of him. The system told him that he had been transmigrated into this world and that he had been given a unique class. He was a samurai, and his class had special abilities that were unique to him. The system also showed him his stats, which included strength, agility, intelligence and vitality.

Ethan had never heard of a LitRPG system before, but he quickly realized that everyone in this world had one. It was like a game, but it was also very real. The system showed him that he was currently at level 1 and that he needed to gain experience points by killing monsters to level up.

As he walked through the forest, he saw strange creatures lurking in the shadows. They looked like something out of a myth or legend. Ethan knew that he needed to be careful if he wanted to survive in this world. At first, Ethan didn't want to kill. He didn't want to take a life, even if it was a monster. But as he explored more of the world, he realized that he had no choice. The monsters were everywhere, and they were becoming more aggressive as he traveled deeper into the forest.

Ethan drew his katana and charged at the nearest monster. He had no idea how to fight, but he felt like he knew what to do. He swung his katana and hit the monster in the side. The monster screamed in pain and tried to attack him, but Ethan dodged the attack and swung his katana again, this time hitting the monster in the head.

The monster fell to the ground, and Ethan felt a strange sensation. It was like something had entered his body. He checked his  system and saw that he had gained experience points. He had also gained a new passive ability: "Sword Mastery."

As the hours passed and he continued to fight, Ethan became more ruthless. He did what he needed to do to survive in this world. He no longer hesitated when he saw a monster. He drew his katana and charged at them, knowing that he needed to kill them to level up and gain new abilities.

Ethan also interacted with other characters in this world. He met a group of adventurers who were also exploring the forest. They were a mixed group of different classes, including a mage, a ranger, and a paladin. They welcomed him into their group and taught him how to fight together as a party. But Ethan quickly noticed that a party isn’t for him. He was a loner but also cold and ruthless, something that doesn’t really suit a good and happy party like them.

Ethan also met a young woman with blond  hair and green eyes who was a bard. She told him stories about the legends and myths of this world. She told him about the great dragon that lived far up in the Northern Azraik mountains, the powerful Elementals who had absolute control of their specific element, about the different races like elves, dvarves, beastkin, undead and even demons, asuras and obviously….monsters.

As Ethan continued to explore this world, he realized that there was more to it than just killing monsters and gaining levels. There were mysteries to uncover, secrets to discover, and legends to explore. He became more and more invested in this world, and he knew that he would do whatever it takes to survive and uncover the secrets of this strange and mysterious new world.
