"Wha-Who are you...?" - ??
[System was installed into the host by H@!?Z;d.]
[Reviving...]
"Wait! What's happening!?" the confused voice of a young man echoes into what seems like infinity, slowly becoming brighter and brighter.
"Hua...huh" the young man suddenly became conscience and hurriedly gasped for air.
As he slowly calmed down and breathed, he heard the sounds of gentle breeze passing, leaves chatting and birds singing. The bright blue sky blinded his eyes.
"Where am I?" the young man lay flat on the ground. "Humans!", suddenly the young man became alert and jump on his bare feet. He looked around, only to find the sound of his heartbeat.
"Where am I?" he looked around his surrounding. It was a vibrant flat forest.
[Greetings, user, Lord Napl Ye, The First Ruler.] A voice rang out in his mind. "Who are you!? Where are you?" asked the young man cautiously looking around.
[I am the system of )^&%!, created by H@!?Z;d.], the voice replied.
[You had died, and the system was tasked to resurrect the host and aid you in regaining your abilities.]
"H@!?Z;d]? Could it be?.." a thought came to the mind of Napl Ye however he quickly dismissed it. He noticed that the trees around him were larger than ordinary trees. Not only the trees, everything seems to be larger, leaves, rocks, plants.
"Don't tell me..." he looked down at his body which was small as a body of a child with the muscle and body proportions of a fit young man. It was oddly disturbing.
[Due to the host and the world's magic concentration, the system was unable to resurrect the host in your original form and full abilities.]
"I see.. so we lost.." hints of deep regret and sorrow filled his eyes. The system, although he didn't see or heard of a real one till now, he remembered reading about it in obscure origins books.
Napl Ye walked around observing his surrounding to find a way. The forest seems endless. Although he had a child body, he navigated his surrounding like a swift warrior.
"Help!!" Out of nowhere, a woman's scream rang through the air. The source of the scream was a few distances away from Napl Ye, but due to his inhuman keen senses, he could hear it well. He wasted no time and rushed out in the direction of the woman.
After a few minutes of sprinting, he saw the woman who was horrified. Two giant wolves surrounded her, blood all over the grass from the dead body underneath one of the wolves. Napl Ye quietly hid in a nearby bush, keeping an eye on the situation.
"Human..." his eyes were cold. He had no intention of helping the woman.
[Emergecy Quest: Defeat the two wolves and protect the woman's life
Reward: Instant level up
Timer: 1 minute
Failure: not an option]
"What!? System, what's the meaning of this? You are supposed to help me." Napl Ye said aggressively. One of the giant wolves slowly moved toward the woman while the other seems to be blocking any escape paths.
"Help! Someone! Dear God, please help!" shouted the woman at the wolves, shaking uncontrollably.
[Reminder, failure is NOT an option. Time remaining: 50s]

"Dammit! Fuck you, System" cursed Napl Ye as he jumped out of the bush, toward the wolf closest to the woman.
The young man known as Napl Ye landed on the back of the wolf, his small body managing to cling to the beast's fur. The wolf snarled and tried to shake him off, but Napl Ye held on tightly, his fingers digging into the wolf's flesh.
"How weakened am I!? I can barely hold a damm puppy." cried Napl Ye. With a fierce determination burning in his eyes, he launched his fists flying as he pummeled the wolf with all the strength he had left.
The wolf was launched back and let out a pained yelp. Napl Ye jumped off its back. The second wolf who was guarding the path suddenly sprang toward Napl Ye as soon as it saw its partner got hurt.
"Watch out!" shouted the woman.
Napl Ye quickly rotated to dodge the incoming wolf, raising his foot before smashing the wolf so hard that the sound of the wolf's spine cracking can be heard.
Napl Ye glanced toward the previous wolf, only to see, it was running away into the wood.
"Th-Thank you for saving my life." said the woman with a shaking voice. She didn't dare to make eye contact with Napl Ye who easily defeated two wolves. Napl Ye didn't pay attention to the woman. He was looking at the dead bodies of a man and a wolf.
"I a-am Kuniloppe, you can call me Kun. That man was my guard. We were looking for herbs in the wood before suddenly getting attacked by the wolves... Thank you for saving me." Kuniloppe hesitated briefly before asking, "M-May I know who you are?"
Napl Ye looked up at the woman who clearly felt terrified of him. But he can see that she was strengthening her mind to show her gratitude toward him.
"I am-"
[Warning: Do not reveal your real identity to anyone. Do not harm any humans.]
"My name is Nate. I woke up in the wood just before hearing your scream. Tell me, where am I?" asked Nate in an almost demanding tone.
"You are in the woods of KenThal. Do you not know how you get here? Do you have a place to go?" asked Kun curiously.
"I don't have the memory of how I got here. And no, I do not have a place to go either... not that I know any places, to begin with," replied Nate annoyed as he sat down on a nearby rock.
'Woods of KenThal? I have never heard of wood with this name. Where am I? Am I on the other side of the world?' Nate thought to himself baffled.
"If you don't have any place to go, you can come with me. I live a few distances away from here. Let me repay you for saving my life. But first... I wanna clarify first. Are you a child? I mean, you look like a child and... you are not human are you." said Kun carefully as she didn't want to offend Nate.
Nate waited a moment before answering, "To answer your question, no, I am not a child nor an adult. I am not a human either. I am what you humans refer to as an Origin." Nate stood up from his seated position before saying, "But don't worry, I have no intention of harming you or any other humans. It doesn't matter. I have nowhere to go, so I will need to come with you."
'This feels like a curse more than a blessing. System, stats.'
