A middle-aged man was awakened from his sleep by the sound of an alarm clock. With his eyes still sleepy, he walked toward the bathroom. There he washed his face and brushed his teeth.
After he finished in the bathroom, he opened his refrigerator and took out the milk, bread, and jam. He heats a glass of milk in the microwave, toasts a piece of bread, and fries some eggs.
After eating his breakfast, he walked toward a room. When he opened the door, the room was so dark that nothing could be seen. But when he turned on the light in the room. There are large white capsules the size of a human.
The man walked slowly toward the capsules that have the word "TRIAL" on the capsule.
"Your work is done" the man cleaned the capsule with the towel that was beside the capsule.
"How long? 10 years?" The man sits beside the capsule.
"I've been developing this device for 10 years. And finally, everything has been resolved. This device works well, without any problems. Even this device does not need to do additional CPU installation operations in the user's brain. And of course this is cheaper."
"hahahaha...HaHaHaHaHa... HAHAHAHA"
"cough...cough...cough"
"I laughed too hard"
"huhf...huhf...huhf"
After calming himself down a bit. The man walked to a computer and operated it.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
"Everything will be proven after I run this program."
"All my dreams will come true."
The man was silent looking at the computer screen. After a while.
Click. Click
The man runs the program on the computer.
Silence enveloped the room for a few moments. Until finally the device made by him turned on and vibrated. The device vibrated for a few minutes and finally fell silent. The man then walked towards the device.
"Looks good. The device is working normally. Tomorrow, it will all be over. And I will find that place."
The man then operates the computer that controls the device and then he silently leave the room.
***
After the man left the room. Several messages appear on the computer screen.
"Congratulations, you are the winner!!!"
Not long after, the message disappeared.
***
The next day, the man immediately prepared everything needed to use the device that he created.
After everything was ready, the man entered into his device and ran it. After that, a bright light enveloped him which made him close his eyes.
After the light that enveloped him dimmed, he slowly opened his eyes.
However, how shocked he was because what was in front of him was something he had never thought of.
"Where am I? From the looks of it, this is a storage room. But why am I here? Shouldn't I be connected to the "Second World"?"
In the midst of confusion. A notification tone sounded in his ear.
Ding... You got mail...
###
Congratulations, Yoru. You are chosen to be a player who crosses into another Universe.
Pachi... Pachi... Pachi...
First of all, I'm sure you're confused right now. But you don't need to worry, all this happened because of your own will. So all this is what you want.
You are now confused because some of your memories were sealed as a result of you crossing to another dimension. And your memory will also come back by itself. So, just enjoy your new life in your new world.
Of course a reward will be sent to your inventory. And for the time being, you cannot return to your original world.
Hope you enjoy your journey in the new world.
P.S: Remember, this is not a game. If you die, you can't come back to life.

"Ahhh..."
The man fell and slumped down.
"Another world. Another dimension. And my memories are sealed. It's a bit too much for my thoughts now."
The man looked very distressed by what had happened. But before he could digest what was happening. The notification tone sounds again.
Ding... You got mail...
The man became confused after hearing the new notification. But, he still opened the message that just came in.
###
I'm sure you're feeling a little depressed right now with what has happened.
But I need to tell you one thing. You can think of this world as a dead game. Where you will die if your character dies. Of course I'm telling you that because you have the system running inside of you now.
Does this motivate you a little?
P.S: Please open your status panel you will know what you should do and want to do after that.
###
The man was taken aback by what he had just read.
"If what's in this message is true. So..."
The man looked a little unsure. But he still trying to open the status panel as requested by the message sender.
"But... How can I open the status panel?"
The man was surprised after saying that. Of course, a panel like the one usually found in rpg games appeared and floated in front of him.
"Ohh... The status panel really appears. Do I just have to say "Status" for it to appear?"
The man then tried several things. He said "close" and the panel was gone. Then he tried a few things with the status panel.
"From what I understand. This panel appears not because I said "Status". But because I want this panel to appear. So I don't need to say anything to operate this panel. I just need to think and everything works just fine."
The man nodded his head proudly.
"Now, I need to understand what's inside this panel. Even though this panel is called status. But actually there are other tabs besides status. From what I can see. There are Status tabs, Inventory, Skill, Magic, Body Modification, and tabs that only have a plus sign. More or less I know the function of all these tabs. However, I need to check them one by one. Who knows, their function is different from what I imagined."
The man began to carefully check the tabs on the panel.
First, he opened the Status tab.
