A New World

When Alex finally woke up he found himself lying face up with a canopy of trees above him. As he slowly came to and looked around all he saw were trees.

"Wow, so this is a new world where did we end up Lu" Alex said as he got up and wiped the dirt from his pants.

"Well first you should start talking in your head before we meet someone and they think you are crazy. And I have no idea where we are I just randomly opened a portal and sucked you in." Alex suddenly heard Lu's voice in his head.

"Ok fair enough, how about you show me the system then I am excited to see how it works." Alex thought as he prepared to see a window.

"I dont know how to do that." Lu said in his usual cheery voice.

"Wait...what do you mean? You made the system how could you not know how it works?!"Alex forgot to think and actually shouted outloud.

"Well I am just powering it. I dont want to have everything spoiled or it wouldn't be fun. So I just took all of your past knowledge of systems and decided to pick random features from them while filling in my own blanks. Then I attached my consciousness and then imprinted it on your soul so I would come with you." Lu said in a slightly embaressed voice.

"Oh well that explains the agonizing pain I felt before coming here. Is there anything you can do to help me?" Alex said in his head in a frustrated voice.

Goal: Exit the Forest

Time Limit: 6 weeks

Rewards: 100% Experience

Penalties for Failure: Death

"Yeah I can do that. Before you get to excited I am only going to issue quests that I think will improve my own enjoyment so don't think you can tell me what to do. However I am not cruel so I will award you depending on the difficulty of the quest." Lu said in a serious voice that Alex had not heard yet.

"Y..Yeah but um.. W...What is with the Penalty." Alex said in a nervous voice.

"Well if you are going to keep me trapped in the same place for too long then you will be just as boring as before I left so I would have to go back and find someone else to have fun with." Lu said in a cold voice that scared Alex.

"Well I can't argue with you I guess. Since I have no idea how big this forest is I guess I should start this quest just in case. Before that I want to figure out how this system works a little bit." Alex said while thinking about how it could work.

"Wow I am super weak, but I guess that is how everyone starts so its not that bad. Status" Alex said with a sigh as he closed the screen.

Alex looked around and saw a tree on a small hill, he decided that he should go climb it to get a better vantage point instead of randomly walking.

Shortly after Alex started walking towards his destination he found his first enemy, a small blue slime slowly scooting across the ground.

Alex got excited as he picked up a big stick to fight his first enemy with.

Suddenly the slime seemed to notice Alex and began scooting towards him. When the slime got close to Alex it stopped and seemed to lean back before launching at a speed much greater then it was before.

<-30% Health>

Alex was caught of guard and the slime hit him in his chest causing him to fall on his back. He was also scared by the amount of damage he took. If a weak slime could od that what would anything else do to him?

Alex put this to the back of his head while standing up and focused on the attacker before him.

This time when the slime did the same thing Alex was ready. He dodged to the side while swinging the heavy branch at the slime.

<50% damage dealt to "Blue Slime">

"Alright!" Alex exclaimed he would only have to do that again and he would defeat his first enemy.

When the slime finally scooted its way close enough to Alex he leaned back and made its signature leap attack. Once again Alex dodge and swung his legendary weapon.

"hahah. Finally, It may be a slime now but just wait world I am coming for your dragons soon!" Alex cheered and did a little dance before he realized something and stopped.

"This cant be right. Lu why didnt I get experience." Alex said (From now on when Alex talks to Lu assume it is in his head) as he closed his eyes to keep tears from falling.

"How would I know like I said I imput random things from your life so you tell me. By the way that was an awesome fight my decisions already paying off." Lu said in a happy voice

"Useless. The system is completely useless. I came to a world filled with monsters and I am just some guy with a voice in my head." Alex said with disheartened tone as he had couldn't belive he fell for Lu's fancy words and empty promises.

"No there has to be a way to level up and become the strongest man in the world. Maybe I just have to train like everyone else and I will get strong" Alex said with renewed energy as he opened his eyes that still had some sadness in them.

Then he noticed something, a stone sitting in the center of the gooey mess that was the slime a moment ago. Alex reached out for it to put it in his pocket.

Strenth:+1

"Thank the heavens there was no way I would have trained like some pleb without a system." Alex let out with a relieved sigh.

"Yes!" Alex said triumphently

<+50% Experience>

<+1 Strength>

"Finally the road to unlimited strength finally shows itself. Well if you are kind enough to pave the way I will gladly follow it until the very end!" Alex made his final declaration before contining on his journey to the tallest point he could see.
