Chapter 1 The Start.
Karion woke up on a grassy plain. He sat up, feeling a cool breeze, and then realized he felt the breeze where he should not feel the breeze. It may have been pleasant, but it was not welcome. He looked down and found he had no shoes or shirt.
“Chipotle, chipotle is my life.” He said he knew that Chipotle had no shoes, no shirt, and no service policy.
What made him worry even more was that he had no pants or boxers. He was completely naked. He found this situation weird, as anyone would. He had gone to bed that night after playing video games till he got so tired that he fell into his bed and passed out. He looked around, got up, and noticed a flashing red exclamation mark in the corner of his vision.
“What in the heck is that.”
As he focused on it, it enlarged to the size of a tablet. Instead of a metal screen, it was a transparent menu.
New quest!
Objective: Find out what happened to you and why!
Rewards: simple pants.
He tried to touch it, but his hand just went through. He returned his hand, dismissed the message, and saw a grey exclamation mark. He focused on it, and it enlarged like the other one.
Karion Neroshima, you have been transported to a new world in a failed summoning ritual from a cultist of the *redacted*. This failed summoning started a dimensional rift, and you got caught in it, transporting you to Argus. (are-gus)
“What the bleep is going on.”
Karion started thinking.
“Am I going insane? A summoning? Like from an anime? Is this a prank? I must be going insane. And a quest: What am I? Am I a main character that can use magic or something?”
Another menu pops up, and he starts reading from top to bottom.
User interface, Karion Neroshima, race outworlder: you have come from another world. This gives you certain powers. Such as user interface, inventory, quest system, and the map. Subrace Eclipsians. Eclipsians were born into darkness and have adapted. They can blend into darkness, see in the dark, and teleport small distances in the dark. Due to your subrace, you have been given class: dark. Your dark class gives you dark-based abilities. You have gained abilities, dark sight, shadow blend, and shadow teleport. You have 3 of 5 dark class abilities. You have one of five classes. Outworlders are given an extra class due to their unusual magical makeup.
“What the heck is going on? So, I’m not human anymore?”
User interface. Race outworlder.
He sees another exclamation mark.
“Another one?”
He focuses on it, and it expands.
Quest objective complete: find out what happened.
Reward: simple pants, simple dagger.
“How do I open my inventory?”
A screen pops up.
Inventory
It’s a ten-by-ten grid with five on the side, but only two out of one hundred slots were filled. He put his finger over the pants. And as if it were a video game. A mini menu hovered over the.
You have found simple pants. Equip yes or no.
He has gotten used to using mental commands to use these screens. He mentally agrees. A mix of red, white, and black mist covers his lower half. A pair of Black joggers cover his legs. As soon as the mist disappears, he hears rustling in a nearby bush. Before he can do anything. A wolf jumps on him, knocking him to the floor. A yellow name bar shows as he looks at the wolf.
Iron jaw wolf. Rank one
“Well, crap. Let’s use these magic powers or whatever.”
He teleports to a tree in the distance. People who had magic abilities gained a basic understanding of how to use them. Karion staggers and throws up, feeling disoriented after the teleport. He hears the wolf running towards him. He grabs the dagger from his inventory, jumping to the right just out of the wolf's reach. He stabs his dagger down into its back, causing it to start bleeding. The wolf starts going into a frenzy. He tosses Karion into a tree, breaking three ribs and causing him to lose half of his health. He spits up blood. He slowly gets to his feet, running on pure adrenaline. He sees the wolf getting back to his feet. He hears a deep, raspy voice in his head.
“Return the dagger to your inventory.”
He quickly opens his inventory and sees a grayed-out box where his dagger had been. He sees a mini menu.
Resummon dagger. Yes or no.
His dagger reforms to his hand. He throws it at the wolf, scratching its eye and leaving a deep gash on his face. The wolf lets out a scream of rage. It rushes Karion once more. Karion’s eyes widen as the wolf rushes to him. Karion teleports out of the way. He throws up again. The wolf, unable to react in time, claws the tree. Karion weakly throws his dagger into the wolf’s side. Finishing it off. A prompt pops in front of his face

He weakly walks over to the ground, touching it.
Would you like to loot Iron Jaw Wolf? Yes, or no?
He gives his mental ascent, and the wolf turns into smoke, the loot from the wolf getting deposited into his inventory. He opens his inventory, clutching his ribs, the adrenaline wearing off. He finds a deep red potion.
Heath potion. Heals fifty hit points in 5 seconds.
He takes the health potion out of his inventory. He drinks the entire vial before passing out. The vial falls to the floor, shattering next to him.
He wakes up the next morning. He opens his eyes and sees a white rabbit standing beside him. He sat up and reached out to pet it. The rabbit turned and bit Karion’s hand.
“Ow, what the heck?”
He tried pulling his hand back but could not pull it out of the rabbit's mouth. He then saw the name of the rabbit. Normal rank killer rabbit.
“Oh, come on, can't I catch a break?”
He summoned his dagger back to his hand, stabbing it through the brain. He pulled the dagger out, wiping the blood off the rabbit’s fur before looting it.
He opened his inventory, seeing a multitude of new items.
He filtered the items from new to old. He looked at them from left to right.
Iron short sword, rank one, rarity uncommon. Light leather breastplate. Light leather bracers. Light leather pants. Light leather boots.
You have one full outfit: your racial ability inventory has evolved and gained an ability: armory.
Sure enough, there was a tab at the top of his inventory.
Armory.
He mentally moves to the new tab. There was an image of Karion. He had blond brown hair, green eyes, a dimple on the left side of his face, and a small scar under his lip from when he fell out of a tree when he was younger. There were gray boxes over every part of his body. One over his head, chest, arms, hands, hips, legs, and feet. He then saw a box to the left, and the suit of leather armor was on it, along with his short sword and dagger. He gave the mental command to equip the armor and was covered in the mist again. After he has the armor on and his weapons in his hands
He continues to look through his new items.
Awakening stone of iron. Awakening stone of adventure.
Karion looks up and sees an island floating in the sky.
“What the heck.”
More rabbits seemed to come out of nowhere.
He looks around, seeing he is surrounded. He teleports a little bit away, blending into the shadows. He tosses his dagger after he recovers. The dagger hits true. The dagger sinks itself into one of the 25 rabbits' heads, killing it right out. Karion noticed a bigger rabbit towards the back, but its size didn’t impede its speed. The bigger one was the fastest of them all, rushing right to Karion. Karion sinks into shadows, trying to slow his teleport this time, hoping this would make coming out of it easier. And he was right coming out of the shadow of a tree just out of sight. He summoned the dagger back and threw it again, this time going right through the rabbit and out the other side.
prompt shows up in his face.

Before he could close the prompt, he saw the big rabbit running at him, He uses shadow teleport and shadow blend and disappears into shadows. He slowly walks behind the rabbit, stabbing it in the back with both weapons. The rabbit let out an agonizing yell of pain, but before he could even turn around, Karion was gone. He started running around slashing and teleporting killing all his friends and family. The rabbit let out a yell of anger and then pain as her was slashed in the eye. H looked around for the human and then heard rustling above him. The human had teleported into a tree. seeing a dark shadowy figure, and then he was gone. He heard a voice coming from behind him, then above him. After the voice spoke, he would find a small cut on his body. But the rabbit noticed a pattern. The rabbit lunged at the murderer, but he was gone again, along with the sword in his back. He got small cuts all over and he started rampaging knocking trees over in his anger and pain. He cleared out a massive area. He then saw the human across the clearing. The human was holding a dagger and a sword. His dagger disappeared and then the human walked around touching all his fallen brethren. They then turned to mist. He let out a yell of anger everything fell away. All he knew was anger at this human. He started running at the Human and then everything went black. Karion had stabbed the rabbit in the stomach, tearing it open and letting its guts spill out.

He watches as it turns to smoke. A tree snaps behind him, and he teleports behind a tree a little far away turning on shadow blend He slowly teleports through trees back through and gets behind the person in the tree. HE slowly comes out of the shadows.
“Who are you”
The person jumps almost falling out of the tree. They catch themselves before they fall and turn around.
“I’m Benimaru son of Mario I’m an adventurer for the Ignes Adventuring guild on a contract to investigate a mana explosion.”
Benimaru looks at the guy in confusion.
“Mario as Yahoo save princess peach type deal?”
“Ya-Hoo?”
“Oh, Right I guess you wouldn’t have super Mario. So, tell me about this Ignes.” Karion turns serious again
Benimaru was thinking if looks could kill, he would sure be dead
“Um Ignes it one of the three great cities of Aldoria. It has a population of 100,000 and it’s a farming village we have the biggest crop output in all the world.”
“Well let’s get going then”
“W-wait what”
