1) Talk with the Void
In the endless void where souls are meant to dissolve and return to void after death, but seemingly enough one soul refuses to disappear like its predecessors.
This seems to catch the attention of the void itself that a lonely soul is resisting to achieve eternal peace within the endless void. Seeing this the void is amused that an actual minuscule soul rejected eternally to find peace within the void, transporting the soul to a sub-space where the soul finally stopped resisting only to left confused.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Where am I?" The confused soul asked.
[You are in a sub-space in the void little one.] The void said in an amused voice.
"Huh?!" Anxiously looking around to find where the voice came from.
[You can't see me but you can only hear me.] The void said.
"Who are you?!" The soul frighteningly asked.
[I'm the beginning yet, I'm also the end. You're kind called me the void.] The void said.
"Wait?! I'm dead." The soul depressingly whispered to himself.
[Yes you are, yet your soul would not want to find its peace in the endless void] The void said.
"*Sigh* So what now? You said my soul is rejecting to achieve its eternal peace, so your gonna destroy me now ain't you?" The soul said sadly staring at what seems to be an astral projection of his body.
[Oh no I wouldn't have to bother creating this place then, I have a better idea you see!] The void happy said to the depressed soul.
"What?!" The soul said surprised at what just The Void just told him.
[That's a secret I'm going to give you and you're going to find out, here you go.] The void said while giving him an item that looks like a futuristic sci-fi earpiece.
(Image): Aloy focus but black with red strokes going backward.
"What's the futuristic earpiece for?" The soul asked.
[Wear it and it will explain everything else, now bye bye strange soul and take care now!] The void said before snapping its no existing fingers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Finally got that universe out of here, so much chaos and trouble with one little universe or multiverse at this point I don't even care at least it's gone now.] The void said as if that universe is a major headache for such an entity.
Going back to the original routine of dissolving souls, as if nothing happened and as if peace came back after a long war.

"Where I am now?" I confused and curiously myself.
"Well no point asking myself now, I even don't know crap what happened with a brief talk with the void" shaking my head at happening at this point.
Judging from circling the beach I'm on a small island and from my horizon, I see a bigger island.
"This holds the explanation to what's happening now, huh" as I hold an earpiece in my hand.
As I put the earpiece in my ear, I suddenly saw a screen shows in front of me.

"So my name is Zik Leere and ain't that bit too op for a level 1?" I asked.
"No host, after all The void made sure you can adapt to the challenge the 4 core pillars of this world." A small floating orange slime said.
Image: SCP-999 The cute orange slime.
"SCP-999 the cute and happy orange slime!" I said in astonishment and excitement, after all, knowing what SCP-999 is cute and loveable slime.
"Hello, host I'm SCP-999, your guide in your inner world, and here to explain the system also task to answer your question to my best of capabilities!" A happy and excited orange slime said.
"Could I name you?" I asked excitedly.
"Yes, host!" The slime said happily.
"Then how about Clyde." I asked.
It nods happily when it heard its new name.
"Then Clyde explain to me what are the functions of the system are." I asked Clyde.
"Then I will explain the functions of the system. [HUNT] is your main mission in every world that must be done to proceed to travel another world(the prey must be killed by the host no one else is killed by others target will be changed to the being who killed your prey), then [SHOP] a shop where you can sell and buy items using tokens (reminder: Items in the world you travel are the only allowed items to buy and unique items cannot be bought in the store only can be found and collected in the said world and a random world can be added without going to the said world using SLOT Function in the [SHOP]), [STATS] are your stats and then tames you can tame creatures.

Clyde explained thoroughly.
"Then what about my op STAT?" I asked sitting under a coconut tree.
"you're [STAT] are custom made by The Void, same as the (modified human) race is custom made, it can be mixed with other race to further evolve while maintaining human appearance. HP is your max health, MP is replaced with EE (Electro Energies) is what power your abilities and skill, and this energy is also 3x denser and purer than chaos energy but can only be applied in items and weapons made in the system and used by the host.

" So that's all Clyde?" I asked.
And finally, the question that's been tearing my head.
"So why didn't The void just destroy my soul?" I hesitantly ask Clyde.
"Can't be answered until the host clear his inner-world first" Clyde said playfully.
I sigh defeated at how Clyde answered my question and I need to take my mind off that a bit, so I asked another question.
"So Clyde what should we do first?" I asked
"I advise the host to test and rest for the day and start the hunt tomorrow due so that the host can fully adapt to the new body and because this small island has no predator or prey to hunt." Clyde said after scanning the small island.
Nothing to do after all it's almost night time I did what he advises after a few exercises and tests, I look at the setting sun finally stopped.
"I can't wait for tomorrow, goodnight Clyde. " I said yawning while sleepy looking at the sunset under a coconut tree.
A new life, a new start, and a new future, what could possibly go wrong.
