"Huh where am I ?!" Alec asked in shock as he opened his eyes, suddenly waking up in the middle of the forest.
"What the hell is going on?" He panics and looks around.
He sees trees and shadows. He feels cold and smells dirt and plants. He hears birds and animals. He is scared and does not know how he got here. He remembers being with his friends and having fun. Then he remembers nothing. He does not know this place.
Suddenly system window appears.

Alec is stunned: "Isn't this a system? Is this a game?"
As Alec tries to make sense of his surroundings and the sudden appearance of a system window, he feels a mix of confusion and disbelief. The forest around him seems too real to be a game environment, but the appearance of the system window challenges that assumption.
Curiosity mixed with a hint of cautious excitement prompts Alec to explore the system further. With a tentative touch, he selects the "Skills" option to see if there's any additional information or abilities he can access.
The window expands, revealing a list of available skills.

" Holy shit! are you for real!" he excited when seeing the skill, some of them are overpower, like Resurrection and Berserker Blood.

Alec's heart races as he reads through the list of skills, his mind racing with possibilities. The idea that he might actually be in some sort of game-like environment is both exhilarating and terrifying.
"Which should I choose? Resurrection or Berserker Blood?"
Alec carefully considers his options, weighing the benefits and drawbacks of each skill.
Resurrection allowing him to come back to life if he falls in battle, which could prove invaluable in a dangerous environment like the one he finds himself in.
However, it comes with a high mana cost and a long cooldown, meaning he can't rely on it too frequently.
On the other hand, Berserker Blood provides a significant power boost when his health drops below a certain threshold, enhancing his combat capabilities and potentially turning the tide of a fight.
It's a more offensive-oriented skill, offering immediate benefits in combat situation.
But the conditional activation only applies at low Health, requiring careful strategy to take advantage of it. It's a double-edged sword.
After a moment's consideration, Alec decides to prioritize survival and chooses resurrection. While increased power is tempting, but he knows in this situation life is more important, especially when he went into unknown territory.
[ Skill: Resurrection Level 1]
"Now for attribute should I increase my strength, if I want to farm some exp I need damage and increase my HP."

With his increased strength, Alec feels more confident in his ability to defend himself and navigate the unfamiliar terrain. He now turns his attention to the marketplace and considers what items would be most beneficial for his current situation.
"I definitely need a weapon," Alec mutters to himself as he scans the available options. A sturdy sword would likely be his best choice for close combat encounters.
Checking the market, Alec finds a basic iron sword available for purchase, along with a few health potions to bolster his survivability.
[Market] (System Currency: 100)
[ House: 1.000
Arcane Tower: 7.000
Barack: 20.000
Training Ground: 15.000

.......]
"What, I can buy a house?!"
Alec's eyes widen in surprise at the unexpected options available in the marketplace. While the idea of purchasing a house in this mysterious world is intriguing, he quickly realizes that his current priorities lie elsewhere.
"Maybe later," he murmurs to himself, refocusing on the more immediate needs of survival and exploration.
Alec decides to allocate his limited funds towards acquiring the basic iron sword and a couple of health potions. With these items in hand, he feels slightly more prepared to face whatever challenges may lie ahead in this unfamiliar environment.
"Alright, let's do this," Alec now ready to slay some goblin or wolf.
As he ventures deeper into the woods, Alec remains vigilant, scanning his surroundings for any potential threats.
Suddenly, he hears rustling nearby, followed by the low growl of a predator. Alec's heart races as he braces himself for a confrontation.
A humanoid figure with dark green skin and a muscular build appears in front of him. His eyes are narrowed as he stares at Alec, clearly viewing him as prey.
"Shit!" Alec thought he was facing a goblin, but it turned out to be a fucking orc.
The orc charges at Alec. "Raaagh!"
With a quick movement, Alec draws his iron sword. Adrenaline rushes through his veins as he faces the aggressive orc. "Dude, seriously, I just got Isekaied to this world, now I have to deal with this shit."
Alec grits his teeth, his grip on the hilt of his sword tightening as he prepares to defend himself against the charging orc. He takes a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves.
As the orc approaches, he swings his axe, and Alec reacts quickly, dodging the orc's swinging axe with a quick movement. Taking advantage of the orc's momentum, he counters with a slash of his own, aiming for the orc's exposed body.
The orc screams in pain as blood spurts from the wound, but it does not stop his ferocious attack.
