'God damn its cold here'
I thought as I walked across the white snow of the North Pole, pulling a sled behind me
'I guess it's what I expected cold and isolation but that's just fine with me at least I'm used to it now after walking for a month without someone to talk to. Well, I have a satellite phone to use if I get stuck but I don't plan on using it to call my friends.'
After walking for a while I think,
'Wait now that I'm close, I should check my supplies.'
I walk over to the sled and open the bag sitting on top.
'Well, I have enough food for 2 months, if I ration it that is. So I shouldn't die of starvation, as for water, I can always melt the snow and drink it if I need to. I have a tent to sleep in and some extra thermal clothes. Some climbing equipment if I need to get up high and, I also have a crossbow if any bears come at me. So far so good there though, I haven't seen any. Which is both sad and lucky I really wanted to see a bear on this journey. I don't exactly wanna kill one but if it tries
to make me dinner, there'll be nothing else for it. Thinking of bears'
I look around just in case any are near, as I do a mess of black hair appears at the side of my vision
'Oh... Right I haven't had my hair cut in two months. Not since me and my girlfriend split up... Well I was sort of expecting it but, hey, enough of my love life I'm almost there. The arctic circle, finally after almost 4 years of dreaming
and planning, I'm actually gonna get there!'
'Hello boring humans...'
...Wait what is that voice?
'As you are currently wondering who this is inside of your head. Allow me to introduce myself. I am a god.'
Did the isolation make me schizophrenic? 'Cause I'm hearing a voice.
'Don't worry little Humans you're not going crazy it's happening to everyone, and because I am a god, I have a very important notice for you.'
Alright, I'm listening.
'You humans are soooooo boring with your daily lives, rules, laws, rights, strugling for purpose it's all soo boring and pitiful. Seeing as how the other gods are occupied at the moment, I've decided that I want some entertainment.
So I've come up with a plan, and that is that your entire species shall go to a new world... One where I've made the system. It's like an RPG, not only will the system be there but also there will be monsters. I suggest you don't forget to level up.'
...Woah I think he just insulted all of humanity, wait a sec, if we get sent to a new world will I still be in the arctic? O boy this is gonna suck if it's like that, although, leveling up sweet! *internal fist pump* I love RPGs and haven't played one in ages. Though I hope I get to keep my stuff or I'm gonna die here.

STARTUP COMPLETE
WELCOME TO THE SYSTEM

As the blue transparent screen appears I exclaim inside my head,
'Woah!! It really is like an RPG with the screen, is that my eyes or the world?! I wonder if I get to choose my class'
I think as I press okay on the screen.

CURRENT MANA REGEN IS 0.5/MIN
'My attributes are pretty good considering I'm a mage. I wish my LCK and CHA were higher but, I wasn't the most social person, nor the luckiest but it's fine. Seeing how my HP is 50 and my VIT is 10, it must be 5 points of HP for every point in VIT. Also I guess that must mean the same for INT in MP. So I wonder what WIS does?'
WISDOM HELPS WITH MANA REGENERATION CURRENT MP REGEN IS 0.5/MIN
'Well that's helpful that must mean that seeing as my WIS is 10. It's 0.05 for every point of WIS so what does LCK and CHA do?'
CHARISMA HELPS IN HOW ATTRACTIVE YOU APPEAR AND
ALSO HELPS IN SPEECH WITH OTHER SYSTEM USERS
LUCK IS THE STAT ASSOCIATED WITH DROPS FROM ENEMIES LUCK
HELPS IN THAT MORE AND BETTER LOOT IS DROPPED WHEN ENEMIES ARE KILLED
'So drop rate and persuasion, it's okay that CHA is a little low it won't matter much, not like people are here. LCK however, that could be more useful to me, given where I am'

'Well I better get ready for this, I should grab my crossbow and sled so I don't lose them when I teleport.'
I run to the sled, grabbing my crossbow from it and holding onto it tightly as the system countsdown nears the end.

Just before the countdown ends I shout out at the top of my lungs
'IM READY BRING IT ON!!!'
A battle cry to get myself pumped up before it all changes.
