Status screen and cultivation.
In a forest that seems to be far away from any form of civilization, there's a light shining bright which scares the beasts nearby because of its high intensity, in the middle of that light a white-haired boy with a godly face that for some reason gives off an ordinary feeling in laying in the middle of it.
After a long time, the young man started showing reaction as his eyes slowly opened and he got up and yawned.
*yawn* "Gosh, I haven't felt this good in ages! Being old is really too scary, I'll cultivate to the point where age doesn't matter anymore." Ky said with a tired expression of someone who slept for too long and now only feels like sleeping more.
"Well, I've slept for long enough at least for now." Ky immediately began stretching his body and doing some exercise after so long without it.
He did 75 push-ups, 42 sit-ups, and 800m running.
"That was a nice warm-up, this body really is a whole new level. I feel like I did absolutely nothing up until now, I think I could repeat this about 17 times without getting even a little tiny bit tired, this really is beyond crazy! When I was a normal person this training would put me crying, well I was terrible with physical activity back then so yeah. But this really is surprising, for a new body to have this much efficiency! Absolutely fascinating!" Ky just got this body not long ago but he already feels like he's had it for hundreds of years, even the difference in height doesn't seem to be affecting him at all.
"Ok, I should check my status to see my overall situation before I leave this place," Ky said completely unaffected by the fact he's in the middle of a forest in a completely unknown world, that's the effect of having lived in the Shadow World for 5 years, for him, this forest looks like a paradise compared to the forests there where an instant of distraction can cost more than you can pay for.
Ky called out his status.

"Ok, this is much bigger than I expected... The amount of lore that comes with this is not small" Ky said looking at his status slightly stunned by a lot of the information displayed.
"First of all, Why are all my skills and professions in level 1?! I know I'm no master in any of them but I also know that level 1 is an insult to all the time I put into adapting to these skills, even if not originally mine I'm sure I deserve at least a level 2 in most of them" Ky was confused the most about this, even if he isn't the best in any of those he's at least good enough to be considered more than level one, how would you feel if you got told that skills you practiced and improved for 5 years only amount a newbie's level 1? He really would be fine with at least a level 2, as a gamer he's well aware that level 1 amounts the same as just learned and with zero experience, how come not a single of the skills he used for 5 years reached level 2?
[It's because all of the host's skills have been reset, the host will have to start from the beginning]
"You could tell me things like that will happen, you know?" Ky said not really disappointed, his problem was the fact the work he did for 5 years was being called nothing if it's not that he doesn't mind starting over, it's also kinda the point of coming to this new world so yeah.
[Host did not ask]
"Well.... That's true but you could still tell me" Ky said starting to understand the system might not be as helpful as he initially thought.
[That is but impossible, what kind of system does host take me for?]
".... You?(Did the system just get offended?!)...." Ky said while dumbstruck. "You know what? Forget it, just tell me why it says 'sub-level' next to my level?" Ky decided to not pursue the warning matter anymore and asked something else.
[Host is too weak to know]
"Are you just telling me? Or are you taking the opportunity to insult me?" Ky felt that the words of the system didn't sound as neutral as usual.
[Host is too weak to know]
"You?.... Whatever just show me all the information about my status I can know." Ky decided to not argue, no matter what he said now, his weakness is a reality.
[Body physique:The body physique is a body type owned by an individual with talent or enough ability to cultivate, the grades starting from weakest to strongest are: Human, Earth, Heaven, Divine, Primordial, and Origin.
Primordial Origin Physique: This is an origin grade physique that can turn the heaven and the earth upside down, not only the owner of it has unmatched talent but also an unseen strength that defies the heavens. But the power displayed depends on how much of the power of the 'Primordial Origin Energy Existence' race the owner can use.
Bone frame/talent: It represents how fast one's cultivation is and how good the effects of cultivating will be, basically those with a high bone frame are known as geniuses. Bone frame goes from none to 10th frame, there are some ultra-rare exception that can reach the limit break that doesn't go beyond the 12th frame.

"It's not as much information as I expected but one thing is for sure, wasn't it a little too expensive if all my skills would reset?" Ky looked at the information of the skills and it didn't seem too amazing so after paying the quantity of CP he paid shouldn't be a little better than this.
[If host intended to keep the skills at a high level, it would be necessary to pay a more CP and since the host didn't have enough, it was only possible to reset all skills]
"That's robbery! After all the effect I put into winning all that CP....." Ky is frustrated by how the system is acting unfairly with him or so he believes. "I don't care anymore, just tell me why my bone frame is suppressed" Ky simply decided to stop complaining and move on.
[Host is too weak to know]
"..." At this point, Ky simply nodded and didn't say more cause even if he did it probably wouldn't end well for him. "Fine open the novice box." Ky said deciding not to ask more questions for now.
[Opening the Novice gift box(lv:1).... Done. 10xhealing pills(3rd grade), Shadow World God's Origin cultivation technique, Shadow World's nine-step domination martial art, Shadow movement art martial art]
"Great! two martial arts and one cultivation technique, Shadow world's God is it? Seems pretty strong, let's put it to work, system I want to learn them all." Ky said with expectations on what these can do.
[ Shadow World God's Origin cultivation technique(12th step cultivation technique, in the human low-tier)(suppressed to 6th step), Shadow World's nine-step domination martial art(4th step martial art human low-tier), Shadow movement art martial art (1st step martial art human low-tier) all learned]
The knowledge of these three rushed into Ky's mind and integrated as if they were always there, Ky felt good receiving them but there's a small problem.
"What? Shadow movement is only a 1st martial arts?! The system cheated me!" Ky got back to complaining. Ky also noticed that his cultivation technique is suppressed but isn't going to bother asking.
Cultivation techniques and martial arts are divided into tiers that go from lowest to highest starting from human to heavenly tier, what defines how high they can get is their step, the higher their step the higher they get. A 1st step martial art can get to the human intermediate-tier and in rare cases of extreme luck the human high-tier, not forgetting each tier goes from low to peak. In common knowledge, there are 10 steps but Ky is outside of all common knowledge.
Ky re-checked his status and the cultivation technique and the martial arts slot are now filled, after seeing that, satisfied he turned it off and got ready to throw himself at this world. He seems to have missed the fact he has a summing beast but that's not a big deal, probably.
"Let's hope, things go right..... Did I just raise a flag? Well whatever" Ky said with a relaxed expression as he walked in the forest calmly, completely forgetting to cultivate or try his martial arts.
