"I hope I wake up in another world."
Leon laid on his bed, staring at the blank ceiling. He was tired of the unfairness of the world; that he felt like he did not belong there. He was in his 40s, he was still in a cheap apartment and he can barely pay his rent. He never felt like he belonged in this world and thanks to light novels that he reads, he began to imagine him in a world where he could be free to do whatever he wants.
"..."
He smirked as the freedom of a world where the law is full of loopholes.
"WOMAN, MONEY & FAME!"
He started to imagine all the things he always wanted to do. To not follow the rules and to rise up in power; more powerful than what governed that world. Where he can fuck everyone he wants and people won't do shit because of his status and power!..
Yet the only thing he can do is just imagine.
"Like that would happen."
He smiled bitterly as his eyes started to get heavier by the second. His eyes started to blur as his vision splits in two and slowly, everything became dark.

----------------------------------------
[WELCOME NEW PLAYER!]
A blue-colored screen appeared in his eyes. Even though his eyes were closed, he could still see it.
"Am I dreaming?"
The blue-colored screen started to change words.
[WE WILL NOW CREATE YOUR CHARACTER DEPENDING ON YOUR PERSONALITIES AND TRAITS]
Leon started to like his dream, the dream he would like to actually become reality.
"If I was to have a class, it would be a support or something haha. I always get helped by others since I'm weak."
He muttered in his own thoughts.
[COMPLETE!]
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
Leon's attention suddenly sharpened as the dark suddenly turned brighter and brighter that he got blind. He didn't know if he was closing his eyes or opening it. His senses became numb as the brightness slowly turned to colors. Light-blue to be exact; the same color as the skies.
Even though Leon were panicking, his body was all numb like he just lost control of his body all of a sudden. Minutes later, Leon's panic faded little by little as he started to think what is currently happening; and little by little, the numbness started to disappear.
"What the hell just happened!"
Leon's eyes was all over the place. He couldn't seem to understand the situation he was in.
He was observing the surroundings. He was in a grassy plain with a small hill with trees behind him and splitting the grassy plain and the small hills was a dirt road.
"Huh?"
A word started to form in Leon's mind, like someone just delivered him a code and shoved it right in his brain.
"Status"
Leon muttered.
A screen-like board appeared in front of him and it was displayed as the following.

"Necromancer!?"
Leon totally froze when he saw his class; he didn't expect it at all. Necromancy is like building your own army, but when you think about it, he always depended on others to protect him. So it might have hit the trait right; but his personality doesn't match at all!
"..."
Leon imagined him killing people just so he can have one foot soldier for it to protect him. He looked at the skies; wondering when will be the day when he could actually stop depending on others.
"Maybe I should start now."
Leon was immersed in the feeling that he isn't on Earth anymore and when he thought more about it, no one will finally be able to bring him down to change himself for the better. He could actually have the time to change for himself; for better or for worse.
Finally, the numbness started to fade away. So Leon tried to stand up. He found out he wasn't wearing shorts and his cheap shirt anymore; but he was wearing armor-like suits. When he touched it, it felt like they were hides from animals or maybe from a cow or something. He has a dagger on his side and a pouch on the other; maybe used to put water.
"This must be what they call a Starter Pack."
He smiled slightly as he looked at the distance. He could totally differentiate this place and from Earth as there was an absence of buildings and mountains and trees surrounding the horizon. There were no planes in the sky, but birds he never saw before.
"Finally."
Leon's eyes started to leak as he formed his hand into a knuckle. He was about to burst with happiness and excitement as the thought of the things he can do in this world; as long as becomes the strongest, is limitless!
"I'm gonna fulfill my fucking dreams!"
He shouted as he raised his arms in the air when he realized.
"Where am I going to do that?"
He looked at his surroundings. Not a single human or any town was present at all and all his hopes crashed into the ground. He looked at his pocket or anything where something can be put if there was a map included in the 'Starter Pack' when he realized disappointment.
"There are none!"
