Surprisingly I woke up less tired than usual today because yesterday I stayed up too late playing video games. When I got up I noticed something weird: the light was off. I prefer it on while sleeping and don't remember turning it off but anyway, the laptop emitted enough light to see.
I walk from the bed to a simple desk with the laptop and some other accessories and see the progress of the model I train. It's doing well near the finish but something is bothering me. The laptop isn't charging despite being plugged in. I checked the cable and the laptop itself and everything is normal. I sighed and made a mental note to repair it some other time now I need to wash and eat something.
I walked to the bathroom but when I opened the door I was blinded by the sunlight. When my eyesight recovered I nearly fainted from what I saw. Huge tree houses surrounded me and the room with the sounds of insects and animals and some weird-looking purple plants I reflectively ran back and closed the door but really the huge forest was more reasonable than what appeared in front of me.
[ Calculating...... ]
I think I'm dreaming, the forest, and now a word is hovering in front of me when I look away the word follow
[ Error finding origin... Creating a new origin.... ]
[ A new origin is created ]
I looked down and the funny thing was I emit light.
I'm a lamp, I'm a light man. Fear creatures of darkness I'm here.
Shit, I run around the room, still emitting light. There is no pain nor heat. but i treated it as fire, so i rolled on the ground, hoping this dream ends soon.
After a couple of minutes, the light faded, and I was no longer the enlightener.
[ WELCOME ORIGIN. NOW YOU ARE IN A WORLD NEW TO YOU, AND DUE TO THAT YOU ARE GIVEN SYSTEM TO HELP YOU NAVIGATE THIS WORLD ]
and besides the text there is an almost mechanical deep voice reading it.
Now I'm almost sure that i have gone mad. Origin ??? New world ??? System ??? What the fuck all of this.
After that i sit helplessly on the bed staring at the void. I think a couple of hours has passed since this madness or maybe a couple of minutes ?.
I hope I was dreaming then an idea shattered that hope I can read ? I quickly run toward one of the books on my bookshelf. I read the title ' Introduction to Electrodynamics ' . I read in a book in the past that it's very difficult to actually read when dreaming because the part of the brain that is responsible for reading is not active during sleep. I calmed down a bit. The concept itself I am familiar with but not directly it appears on some type of games I played. I know the status menus and staff and it appears to me directly so I tested the obvious

" Status " I said. i hopped it didn't do anything but unfortunately a familiar blue window appeared in front of me

I looked in the blue window and sighed. I think there is no other explanation for all of this, I am in another world and I am really hungry I haven't eaten anything since yesterday so I should explore the forest a little to pick some berries or fruit to satiate my hunger so I get up and get my backpack and finally i get another look to the status I need to be very careful about that low hp so I plan to just look around the room for now.
I opened the door slowly and realised it was afternoon. I looked around carefully before I stepped into the green grass. I saw huge trees maybe 100 metres but the leaves weren't that big so I could see the sky and funny enough I can count two suns one yellow as usual and another blue ,well that wasn't the weirdest thing today so okay.
When I looked down searching for anything edible I found strange purple plants and I had an idea to see if it's edible. Certainly, I won't try it and see the results because it can be poisonous so I got closer, and from a safe distance I said " Identify ".
Then I saw a small blue window above the plant
Turmeric Restore hp and stamina over time
That was brief? I think maybe that's linked to the skill level any way that means if it's regenerative properties it could be edible at the very least not poisonous so I pick some before hearing something that shock to the core I looked to the sky to see the source of the sound and yeah there are fucking dragons on the sky well two exactly and they seem to fight and a new roar wake me from that state and as usual I begin running to the room then quickly open the door and get inside.
Okay, there is no chance that I will explore the forest with dragons in the sky so for now let's try these Turmerics. I picked five earlier and I took one for the experiment. I smell it and it's not a familiar scent and then I pick one petal and put it on my hand it's a trick that I read online to determine whether the plants or fruits are poisonous or not so I wait for some minutes and there is no visible change on my skin so I think it is safe. I tried to eat one petal and it's tasted like peppers and immediately after I swallow it a familiar voice and window appears in front of me
Congratulations You identified some properties of the plant the rewards:-

Identify ( Level 1 -> 2 )
New skill : herbalist
With a thought I dismissed the window and this is very interesting. When I verified it wasn't poisonous I acquired herbalists. Let's see what this skill is. " What is herbalist skill ? " I asked the system Then a window appeared
Herbalist ( Passive ) ( Level : 1 ) :
Gain knowledge about different plants and list what can be used for. I dismissed the window then picked another petal and identified it.
Turmeric Restore hp and stamina over time
Can make health potion, stamina potion
Nice health and stamina potions are an absolute necessity for any fantasy world and yes there are no dragons in the normal world. Then I ate the remaining petals and three other turmerics and saved one for another time.
And finally I wasn't hungry, definitely not full though. There are still some roars outside so no exploring for now. Then I heard a notification from the laptop not something important to the overall situation but I went to see it anyway.
