Death.
He knew about it, but he never expected it to happen so soon.
It's so unfair that someone as young and handsome as him would be dealt this card just when things were going well in his life. Life do be like that sometimes.
People die when they are killed.
But what happened next was so surprising for him. He was a Christian once, but neither did he go to heaven or hell. Instead, he received a one way trip to another world, maybe to live a new life.
After what felt like a long slide, he crashed into something. Something that made him want to enter and seek comfort. He forcibly pierced through that something and was able to enter inside. He then received a rush of dopamine that felt as if he just won a competition.
After that, he found the sense of being complete with the object. As time goes by, memories of his past life began to disappear while his thoughts began to change so fast that he can barely keep up with the random thoughts coming onto his mind.
For a mature mind who can think, the feeling of not being in control of his memory and faculties must be maddening.
What kept him sane and conscious was a familiar screen, or rather, 2.

1 Control- Bow, Crossbow, Throwing

The second screen is a notepad of the above skill sheet, reminiscent of the Mount and Blade Warband character sheet, albeit with a few differences.

As his consciousness weakens and memories of his past life begin to disappear, he tried to do a few things according to his old habit. He tried to input a number on the strength value, but it only showed 63. He then tried the same on the other attributes of agility, intelligence and charisma, but its still the same, with only 63 showing up.
He proceeded to the skills bar. There, he first put 10 on constitution, it showed up as 10. Then he tried putting a bigger number, but it only showed up as 10. He decided to put 99 on every skill in order not to miss anything. The values of the skills ironflesh, grandmaster, magic control, magic power, mana control and trainer became 15, while the values of the skills Vigor, Control, Endurance, Cunning, Social, and Charisma showed up as 10 + 5, but for the other remaining skills, they showed up as 10 flat.
For the proficiency bar, he tried to experiment on one handed. He inputted a random number with 1 digit, the value changed to the number he inputted. He continued by inputting a 2 digit number, it followed his input. When he finally put a number with 4 digits, the value adjusted itself to 699. After confirming the limit, he put the value 699 on every proficiency. After doing that, every proficiency confirmed his guess by showing the value 699.
As his thoughts go faster and faster, with great effort, he made a final check and found that nothing seems to be amiss, so he finish his changes with Import. He then immediately lost consciousness right after
