New Life

[System Initializing]

"Ugh.. my head, what happened?" Ren tried to wake up & covering his eyes from the sunlight while his head feels like splitting. 'Where is this? Am I still alive? So many trees, is this in the forest? Wait, isn't that after the plane crash my body fell to the sea?'

[Welcome Host]

"Wha-what!? what is this? am I dreaming?" Appeared in front of him was a transparent panel which divided by four sections. There is status, quest, shop, & summon. Watching this ridiculous thing, he can only be stunned silly.

[Starting Tutorial?]

[Yes] / [No]

*Pak*

The appearance of new panel awakened him from his stunned state, he tried to clear his mind by slapping himself, but nothing changed. After calming down, he tried to make sense about his situation.

'First & foremost, I still alive & that's already the greatest gift for me. But what happens with my body?' looking at his tiny hand, he can only smile bitterly. 'Looks like my body age regress to 7 years old, & my memory, why I can't recall my personal memory? I can only remember the knowledge part but not the experience?'

Feeling sadness & fear overwhelm him, he tried to clear his mind & make a resolve. 'Maybe it's the price for my second chance? Depending on the situation, it can be blessing itself so that I can live freely without haunted by attachment. Yup, I still remember my name, It's Ren & I'm sure that I'm still me, no one else. Thank God for your gifts, I will not waste it absolutely & live myself fully.'

After successfully clearing his mind & finding a new resolve, he can feel his heart at peace. 'From now on, gathering knowledge will be my first priority, & to achieve that I need to go back to civilization as fast as possible. Spending my night in the middle of the forest that I know nothing without anything is my biggest bet to end my journey early.'

"Oh right, I almost forgot about you," Ren said while staring at the transparent panel in front of him. "Is this the legendary system that so many people dreaming to have? I guess I'm really lucky hahaha." Laughing happily, he chooses to start the tutorial.

[Starting Tutorial]

Nothing big happened, but he gets to know how to operate his system. Like how he can know about his own information in the status panel, the shop which sells myriad of skills, technique manuals, & items with divers restriction from the requirement to even trials. Quest panel is where he can get his point & rewards aside from killing & impressive achievement. And lastly, summon section that where he can receive companions but he needs to gain their approval & permission.

"Sigh.. unfortunately, I can't use all of the functions right now." Sighing regretfully while looking at the system grayed area, he can only choose one available mission from Quest tab.

"Interesting, looks like I need to get out fast from this forest." Even though he is smiling helplessly, but determination can be seen from his eyes. After climbing the highest tree he knows, he can see some semblance of a city far away to the north. After picking a direction, he traversed the forest carefully, keeping attention to his surrounding, he marks every single tree that he passed.

After who knows how long, he found a footpath that leads to his destination. Can't contain his joy, he ran while shouting joyfully, not caring about all of his fatigue. But his joy is short-lived. Because his ear caught ominous sounds.

*Grrrrr.....

*Grrrrrrrr....

*Growlllll...

Looking what behinds him, he feels chill in his spine, & cold sweat drenched his back. There's only one thought on his mind.

'Well, shit !'
