Chapter 1 - New world

I felt as if I were drifting on an endless sea of darkness, was this the afterlife? I never did anything in my life thanks to the sickness, so I guess I wouldn’t be able to live peacefully in heaven or even be allowed in hell. I sighed believing I was to drift purgatory for all eternity. My thoughts were however distracted as a loud buzzing sound started to echo in my ears, I looked around with my eyes wide wondering what that sound was before I noticed strange transparent menu appearing before me.

No class Detected Automatic Assigning Hidden Unique Skill detected, awakening Skill ‘Personification’ Compatibility of Skill and Dungeon Master class Detected Class Selected, merging of abilities commencing ..............

I stared at the strange screens in disbelief “what is going on here!” I shouted, unsure what the hell was going on. I tried to reach up and grab at the screen, but my hand passed through it, it only served to raise my confusing. I started to wonder if this was even purgatory anymore, “I died. I know I did but I don’t feel dead...” I stated to myself, not understanding what this entailed. Knowing there was nothing I could do I decided to wait for these screens to finish to see what could happeng

Merging Succesful Body Reconstituted and Modified Welcoming Package Granted Transference Complete Welcome to Aymia

As the panels finished light suddenly flooded my vision causing me to shut my eyes quickly. As I felt the very air around me distorted and I soon felt something soft laying against my back, and as the light died down I opened my eyes to see a wide blue sky far above me. Blinking my eyes a few times and even rubbing them with my hands to see if I was dreaming I realized I was actually looking at the sky I slowly sat up looking at my surroundings seeing I was at the edge of a forest next to a dirt road, feeling the cool breeze on my skin I took a deep breath trying to calm my mind because of this strange place I found myself in.

It was then I realized by body didn’t ache, I slowly rose to my feet and looked down at myself, the first thing I noticed was my clothes were different, instead of a hospital gown I was wearing what appeared to be a black trench coat, a red t-shirt, and black pants. Then I looked at my actual body my arms and legs no longer extremely thin for lack of use, instead they were thick like I had lifted weights every now and again. I felt rest of my body realizing how much more built my body was, it only added to my confusion. When I hovered over one of the trench coat pockets I felt a small object in it so I pulled it out and it was a note, opening the note I noticed the letters was very strange and at first didn’t make any sense to me but then they started to change into English right before my eyes, so I started to read the letter.

‘Welcome to Aymia dear traveler, this is a land of fantasy, a world of fantasy and monsters. As this is your first time visiting our world we have granted you the welcoming package, which includes an area appropriate outfit with comfortable design from your own memories, an old dagger, a small map of the surrounding starting zone, All-Language Comprehension Skill, and basic analyze skill. To access the system, you must concentrate on the command you wish you use, the commands are; Status, and Skills. They will one activate only when you wish them to and not by simply saying the words. We hope you enjoy your stay and hope you will visit again.

Sincerely the Gods

p.s. A warning because of your special class, do not mention it or it’s abilities to anyone for Dungeons are seen as wild creatures and not as sentient beings’

I took a deep breath after reading the note realizing I may be having trouble in the future. As I thought that the note suddenly burst into flames and incinerate into ash flying off with the wind. With eyes wide at the act I would sigh “guess that’s how they cover their tracks…” I would shake my head before glancing around for the map and dagger, but I didn’t see them anywhere, so I thought I might as well test out the features this system apparently had. I also wondered why I was called a traveler, but I’ll deal with that later as I concentrated and spoke out “Status”

Stolen story; please report.

I looked at the different words on the screen, it was again same words as on the note but as I looked at it, it became English for me. I noticed how game-like this looked, and begun to quickly realize that my body’s appearance must be because of the values on this screen. At least far as I knew they was, though I wonder if these values was strong or not but the titles really started to get to me the most so I started to concentrate on them wondering what they were or at least what they meant when suddenly new windows appeared.

[Traveler] One who freely travels between worlds before death, granted bonus 10 to all stats [Living Dungeon] A Dungeon in human form, grants increased ability learning [Life or Death] One who has walked the boundary of life and death for years, increases survival chances

“well that is surprising” I stated scratching my chin, “so that is why my stats are the way they are… when did I become a traveler?” questioning that I sighed with a shrug, then decided to check the other menu since I had no idea what direction to go “Skills!’ I shouted

From seeing the skills, I can understand that three of them came from my class and the other two was part of the gift. Noticing how Analyze had a level beside made me believe skills can level to, but it was strange the others didn’t have a level besides them. When looking them over I focused on the Dungeon Inventory skill and wondered if perhaps that’s where the other parts of my gift was, so I concentrated on it and I suddenly felt an unknown space. Inside that space I could sense stuff inside it but not exactly what they were, so I tried to grab them and pull them out, when I did a map and a dagger appeared out of thin air next to me.

Seeing them fall to the ground I picked them up, opening the map I tried to figure out where I was, if I was correct this road went north and south, and if I headed north then I would come across a small town. Putting the map into my pocket I looked to find a small strap for the dagger on my hip, so I hooked the dagger in and looked to the sky, so I could try and tell which was is north before heading out to find out what this world has instore for me.
