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.

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

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.

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”

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.

“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.
