“Fuck me” is all I can muster at seeing the TWO moons of what can only be a hallucination, what caused the hallucination god knows but that's the only sane explanation.
“Hi, no you're not hallucinating, and yes that is what a hallucination would say but no I'm not a hallucination shut up,” a voice says
“Gah! Who said that!?” I yell after being startled
“No one, I'm in your head, no you're not insane, shut up.” the voice speaks apparently from my head
“What?” I start to ask before being cut off by the voice
“No, shut up, first things first, not a hallucination, second you're not on earth anymore”
I try to say something but he tells me to shut up again, asshole
“Yes you've been Isekai’ed, no I don't know if that's how it's pronounced or if that's the past tense, shut up, now, fortunately, thanks to your specific backstory of being a nerd this will be easy to explain, you got Isekai’ed to some LitRpg, now you may speak peasant”
God, he's such an asshole “LitRpg, I'm in a LitRpg…?”
“Yeah, that's what I said, and before you ask some dumb questions I'll answer them, no you're not the only one to have a system it's very simple, It's pretty close to the system of the Litrpgs, which may I just say, kinda cheap of you to only read free ones”
“Hey, I'm not cheap!” I say in response, “Also do you like the system itself? Or are you like some servant of god giving me a run down or something?”
“First intelligent thing you've said, and it's neither, closer to a programmer working on the system and calibrating it to you”
“Calibrating? I don't care, is there a tutorial or something?”
“Yeah, I've been setting it up while I've been giving you the rundown, glad I got a nerdy dipshit like you so the WIP tutorial should be fine, honestly it's pretty simple, and might not even need it”
“Could you give me a rundown on it? You said it's close to those Litrpgs I've read, right? So like I should be able to get it”
“Eh, fuck it, if you don't need it I can do it later, uh lemme see, their classes, stats, skills, MP, HP, and achievements.”
“Huh, how does HP work?”
“Uh…yeah I got no clue, could be a numerical representation of your current physical health or it could be like a magical thing that decides how much damage you can take before death, i don't really know all i know is that constitution and leveling makes numbers up and damage makes numbers go down”
“... and I'm guessing you don't know how the stats work either?”
“Yeah idk it goes up through work but also leveling up, idk dude”
He said IDK who does that?
“Well, I'll activate the system and dip out dude, uh don't like to commit omnicide, uh, yes you can have kids with the other races, and uh peace out bruh”
I don't even get the chance to say anything before a metaphorical weight I didn't even notice disappears and a blue box appears in front of me. Or like inside my mind but it's visible?
Hello beta tester user of the newly implemented Isekai version, you have elected to not receive an in depth tutorial, would you like to receive pop ups with tips when you open a tab for the first time?
“Holy shit that's weird Can I think yes? Or do I have to speak it?”
Both audible or mental orders are accepted
You have selected yes, you will receive tips when opening a new tab
And then said box is replaced with what looks like an info screen, it has my character stats and everything

Notes:
Certain achievable classes will be added with the achievement of certain parameters, some require a prerequisite class
‘Wow, that's a lot, and I can only choose one?’
At the moment you are limited to a single class, attainment of other classes are unable to be done through leveling up and must instead be obtained through the method most inhabitants of Heoddenia achieve their class, hard work, or sufficiently power magic items
‘Dam, well that makes sense. I supposed you wouldn't want me to be unreasonably stronger than the average inhabitant could reasonably become.’
I look at the list, completely knocking out the non combat classes for obvious reasons
After a couple moments of deliberation i decide to ask if i can get more details on the Spellblade class, basic i know but still
Basic information:
Spellblades cloaked in light armor combine the dexterity of Duelists and the versatility of the Wizard to strike their enemies from up close with their blades while augmenting their combat abilities through the use of protective, enhancement and evocationist spells. One of the more common classes among adventure parties you'll have to work hard to stand out but the ceiling is high for those who follow this path especially if supported by a well balanced party
Class:
Spellblade
Important stats:
Arcana and Dexterity
Starting Spells:
* Flaming blade
* Lesser magic shield
* Greater magic shield

‘Hmm, yeah, that sounds like a good one, yeah i choose Spellblade’
You have chosen Spellblade as you're class, updating user info
I wait a moment for my info screen to finish updating or whatever, and in the few moments of nothing happening i realize I'm definitely gonna have some sort of emotional crisis as soon as I'm free to think
