Jerome pulled himself to his feet and looked around at the tall standing trees that stood around the open meadow he now came to exist within.
He looked at his hands flexing them. Something felt off, but he was not completely certain as to what.
“You there!” A loud voice rang out across the meadow, the sound originating from somewhere within the trees. “What brings you into the Geve’rak meadow! Are you unaware this is sacred land!”
“I-I am sorry, I am lost and I have no idea where I am or what this Geerak thing is” Jerome's head swivels as he speaks, still trying to locate the voice. “Please help me”
After a few minutes of silence a tall figure with flowing blonde hair dressed in some rather fancy looking brown and green leathers could be seen approaching from the tree line with a long bow held firmly in their left hand.
The figure stopped about a meter from Jerome and spoke “What is your name friend?”
“Uh, Jerome, my name is Jerome and you?” He tried to sound as friendly as possible, but his nervousness was quite clear.
“Jerome, do I have permission to examine your system soul?” the figure asked as he also tried to maintain a friendly light hearted demeanor, and was mostly successful.
“System Soul? I have no idea what that is? But if I could then ye. I just need help” he said in a panic, seemingly getting more and more lost as his confusion of his situation continued to grow.
The figure stepped forward slightly and placed his hand on Jerome's chest “Status” he called out. A large blue box opened in the air between them.
As the figure examined it his brow furrowed in confusion. “What is this?” he said spinning the blue box around for Jerome to look at.

Jerome managed to see some of it, but understood none. The box filled with errors before promptly disappearing. Both Jerome and the blonde man looked at each other for a moment before the stranger spoke once more “I have never seen something like that before, that is not what is supposed to happen. Where are you from Jerome?”
“I am from a small town in Queensland Australia, I am sorry I have no reference for how far that is from here” he said slowly, and part of him was unsure about his own words. Was this even his world anymore?
“I regret to say I have not heard of your homelands. But can say with some certainty, that you are indeed quite far from home. If you-“ he got cut off by a box appearing before Jerome.
No profile detected
Would you like to make a new one (Y/N)?
Jerome blinked a few times and looked up at the stranger who seemed just as confused. Reaching out with his finger he touched (Y) and the box vanished once more with another box taking it's place.
Please select your desired class:
- Soul Smith
- Scripter
- System Breaker
Jerome carefully looked over the options presented. He had no idea what any of these classes were. He had played video games and watched anime before being reborn, but never seen classes like this.
Jerome took in a deep breath and reached out his finger. System Breaker selected. The blue box vanished once more to be replaced by quite a few others.
Please select three active skills
- System Breacher : This skill allows you to breach the system of any person you touch. You will gain control of their body allowing you to perform actions they would normally be unable to. Only applies to humans and animals. Monsters cannot be controlled.
- Scribe : Allows you to use a variety of different materials to create objects. The more complex the item the longer it takes to create.
- Overload : Increase the amount of energy stored within your body from 0% to 100%. Moderate drawback
- Analyze : Gain a deeper understanding of the nature of a specific target.
- Remote Control : Can remotely activate an object through touch. Duration of the effect depends on the object type.
- Manipulate : Create a connection between two objects enabling you to move them together.
- Data Transference : Share/receive thoughts in the form of images with others.
- Data Recovery : Recover lost data from the mind of a target.
- Firewall : Create a shield of energy around yourself.
- Dark Interface : Gain access to an altered version of the System.
- Mind Merge : Merge your senses with another.
Jerome read over each skill, taking his time. Trying to wrap his head around all of this. He reached out his finger and selected
- Data Transference : Share/receive thoughts in the form of images with another.
He believes that being able to see others as well as share images from his own thoughts may help him communicate better and understand things a bit easier.
- Analyze : Gain a deeper understanding of the nature of a specific object.
In a world he did not know, having a skill to help him further that understanding would be critical.
And finally.
- Scribe : Allows you to use a variety of different materials to create objects. The more complex the item the longer it takes to create.
This last skill could potentially save him a lot of money in this world and hopefully, eventually help him make money also.
The window vanished once more. Jerome's eyes lifted to meet the blonde man's wide eyes, who had been observing everything.
"I have never seen those class options before" He looked around him as if making sure they were alone. "Those skills are equally as strange"
"I guess classes and skills differ in my country" Jerome tried to say with as much confidence as possible.
"Perhaps you are right" He nodded to himself "Nicholas, by the way"
"Pleasure to meet you Nicholas" Jerome said with a slight smile, before his face grew a bit more serious, and placed his hand on his chest and spoke "Status"

Jerome read over his new information and flicked his hand making the box disappear "Would you be willing to show me around, Nicholas?"
"Of course" Nicholas said with a large smile, as he lead Jerome into the trees and away from the meadow.
