Ch 1: It begins

Author's note:

The gamer world will be what people call a virtual reality meaning that everything is a life like super advanced A.I. since the mc won't create a world filled to the brim with suffering just so he can enjoy his fantasies. It just doesn't work with his character.

[ USER RESTED IN BED. HP, MP, AND SP FULLY RECOVERED. ALL NEGATIVE STATUS EFFECT CLEARED]

Waking up to this notification written in a blue interface may cause most people to think that they're hallucinating or still dreaming, but I knew better since you know, I wished for it to happen.

Looking at the mirror, what appears is the body of a certain someone clad in his pyjamas that many fans of the manga would immediately recognise.

'status' I thought as a blue window materialized in front of me that no else but me could see, not that there were anyone here but me at the moment

Note: average adult human attributes is 10. The difference between 10 and 11 is not the same as between 100 and 101. Host attributes affect him differently than other individuals because of title 'the Gamer'. For more information, please think or say 'Menu, Help'. This note will only be displayed the first time]

Indeed. Adam or now Han Jee-Han chose to transmigrate to be the protagonist himself since you could say the world revolved around him and what better way to have fun than be the mc of the story. Having access to the memories of this body like a folder in a pc was quite the novel experience. Although he sealed the majority of his memories concerning the future events to not spoil himself, he still kept the ideas he learned from many fanfics and stories to let his imagination run wild and have fun.

Before anything else, Adam confirmed the date and time. 'there is a week before the start of the new school year. Enough free time to run some tests and make a basic plan. As the saying goes "failing to plan is like planning to fail", I should explore the Menu and gather the maximum amount of information before anything else'.

[+1 wisdom for planning before taking action.]

Jee-Han smirked at the confirmation of his correct choice. Starting with the Help icon present along side other interesting ones like 'parameters' and 'reputation and relationships' since he figured it will contain the most crucial knowledge for making realistic plans.

Choosing Attributes, new text appeared:

[Hp: health points, the higher they get, the harder it is to die.

Mp: mana points, universal energy with so many uses it is practically impossible to count. Most magic related skills use it as fuel to power them

Sp: stamina points, the higher they get, the harder it is to be tired. Most physical related skills use it as fuel to power them.

Str: strength, basically dictates how much physical strength the host can use. Most offensive physical attacks use it as a base for calculating damage. Basic Dmg= (wpn atck)*str+ agi/4. Higher str also means higher Sp consumption and past a certain threshold brings self-damage to the user.

Agi: agility, from speed movement to attack speed and mind body coordination, it can also affect physical attack damage to a certain extent.

End: endurance affects Hp, Sp, Hp regeneration and Sp regeneration. Do note that natural defense does not increase with endurance unless in special circumstances.

Int: intelligence, affects Mp, the speed of thought process, memory retention and the power of magic related skills. Magic Dmg= (power of skill)*int/2

Wis: wisdom, affects Mp regeneration, efficiency of using available information, and speed of leveling skills

Perc: perception, affects reaction time and sensory abilities.

Lck: luck, affects drop rate of loot, luck based games and chances of fortunate encounters. Note that higher rewards are often linked with higher difficulty and danger. Proceed with caution.]

'...I see. Some attributes are more important than others, especially if I want to follow specific paths. The physical route is safer considering that the stronger the body, the harder it is to die.. But the magic route has infinite potential and can even make up for the short comings of a frail body if we go by the description of Mp. In any case a jack of all trades and master of none has never been the correct choice.' After that, he continued checking out the icons left and made a summary :

- Hp regeneration is kind of fixed at 10%/mn for now no matter how high End gets but Sp reg is pretty good.. that's why healing skills and potions exist.

- mental attributes work differently for him than other people, since if magic power and intelligence/wisdom go hand in hand then the original protagonist would have been abducted and became a lab rat the few seconds after he made any slightly suspicious actions and although he sealed his memories, he vaguely recalls that the plot didn't go that way. Still needs verification and he has the perfect skill for the job.

- critical hits work differently for him than other people: hitting individuals precisely in delicate areas like the head or the heart will result in critical hits but since he has the gamer's body, it works mostly on luck unless they use special skills.

- Skills make the difference between a novice and a master.

- Rank is representing what two individuals having the same sum of attributes can be as different as heaven and earth. A martial artist and an office worker having the same specs will certainly not be equal in fighting potential.

- relationships and reputation is basically a mind probing cheat to know what people think of you without even alerting them although it seems to show only those known to you.

- parameters are quite interesting and give pretty good hints about what is possible with the system.

All in all, Jee-Han was satisfied and began his first step into awesomeness: hiding from sight like a cockroach..😐🐜
