Beginning?

I wake up by the sounds that are bothering me. I look up to see where I am but all I see is darkness. I stand up and walk around trying to find some light and after a minute I find it I walk towards light and find myself halfway up a mountain.

After looking around for a while I still don't know where I am but my head is clearer now and I can think as I try to remember I don't, I don't remember anything not even my own name but it seems I do remember somethings as I do remember what a name is so it is better to say I don't remember myself.

The sun is about to go down and i still don't remember but now I have this instinct that i have to find something to light up and go back to the cave that I woke up in or something bad will happen but I can't seem to put my finger on what that bad thing is, so I let go of that and go around and look for some thistle to pick for burning and some stones as I do remember that you could somehow make fire with them.

I can see thistle everywhere so I start to look around for the stones as I do remember that the stones you can light a fire with aren’t common after looking for them for a while I find them so I start picking up thistles after struggling for a minute or two and getting a few scratches I finally manage to pick one and so I turn to go back to the cave as I do I suddenly remember that one thistle isn’t going to be enough for a night so with a sad face I again start to pick up thistles.

After about half an hour the sun has gone down and it is completely dark here, I have picked nine thistles and while I’m struggling with the tenth one I start to hear some noises that make my instinct go wild with wariness so I hurry to pick the last thistle and go back to the cave. I finally manage to pick it and when I do something strange happens, immediately after I pick up the thistle some half transparent paper comes up in front of my face and it is written on it:

“congratulations!

You have picked 10 of a item necessary to survive in the wild

Acquired the skill ‘simple gathering’”

I stared blankly at the transparent paper for a few seconds before I heard those noises again and decided to go to the cave first.

After reaching the cave and going further inside I settled down and after a few tries I managed to start a fire.

After feeling comfortable beside the fire I look at the transparent paper again it still read:

“congratulations!

You have picked 10 of a item necessary to survive in the wild

Acquired the skill ‘simple gathering’”

And I still had no idea what it is but I think it meant that as I gathered stuff I became skilled enough in gathering that I got a skill named ‘simple gathering’.

Pretty simple I would say so but I still can’t get it what is it or why and how it suddenly appeared and there is nothing like this in my memory not that my memory can be trusted.

After contemplating about it for a few moments I decided to touch the paper as nothing was happening as I touched it the writing suddenly changed and it read:

“ congratulations For getting the first skill !

From now on you can access your system status window by calling it

You can also get the initial proficiency by clicking on the skill in the status window or you could set it so you get the proficiency automatically”

Things got more complicated but I got the gist of it so called out status window and another page came up:

 After looking at the status window for a few minutes my questions only grow further but I got a few things out of it. Apparently I’m a normal person with a little better brain and this system also dosen’t know my name and there are a few things of it that are currently locked.

As I didn’t fully understand anything that could be attributed to my lack of memory I decided to put it all aside and after securing a simple barrier with rocks and dirt I went to sleep.
