Role Play System
Suddenly, a translucent system window materialized before Raymond's eyes, startling him so much that he struggled to form his first words. The unexpected sight froze him in place, and as the window lingered in his field of vision, he finally managed to mumble, "What is this?"
Raymond scrutinized the floating display. Its azure blue hue shimmered faintly, almost ethereal, and the dark font stood out crisply with white borders. Intricate curling designs adorned the corners, reminiscent of elegant Greek pillars.
Determined to understand its purpose, Raymond kept a vigilant eye on the window. He meticulously read through every line of the description, analyzing each detail before allowing himself to reach any conclusions.

It was a status window, something Raymond knew he shouldn't be able to see without a special card. Normally, viewing someone's status required not only the card but also access to personal profiles, making such information difficult to obtain.
Rules governed these profiles, and since this was common knowledge, Raymond could only ponder the anomaly before him.
Drawing on his memories, he found them unexpectedly useful in making sense of this strange situation.

Raymond stared at the translucent screen floating before him, its strange symbols flickering like stars. His mind raced, grappling with the alien text that seemed both familiar and foreign. Curiosity prickled at his thoughts, urging him to decipher the mysterious message.
As the initial shock wore off, Raymond's eyes narrowed, focusing intently on the screen. He could almost feel the meaning behind the words seeping into his consciousness. The more he stared, the clearer it became.
A soft chuckle escaped his lips. "Is this... my cheat-like ability?" he mused aloud, the idea tickling the edges of his excitement.
But the thrill quickly waned. The system window displayed a mission with the promise of a skill as a reward, yet Raymond couldn't see how it would be useful. His Talent, or lack thereof, would determine its true value.
"Not exactly groundbreaking," he muttered, disappointment creeping into his voice. His gaze shifted to his Profile displayed on the screen. It revealed nothing spectacular, just mundane details about himself.
His hopes of a life-changing revelation dwindled, but then, something unexpected happened. A new button materialized on the screen, glowing softly. Raymond's heart skipped a beat, curiosity reignited. What could this new feature hold?

Inject the destined plot? Destiny is malleable. Read all the contents and finish the mission.

Raymond stood frozen, his mind a whirlwind of confusion and disbelief. His eyes were locked on the cryptic prompt before him, trying to make sense of its purpose.
Taking a deep breath, he forced himself to calm down, even though his mind was racing with questions. His reflection in the screen mirrored his bewilderment, a mix of intrigue and uncertainty flickering across his features.
"Inject the plot?" he murmured, brow furrowing. Was this some kind of story or game mechanic? RPGs often had plots woven into their levels, and the world of Arcana seemed to follow similar rules. But how could he make sense of this?
He needed more information, something to connect the dots. The system kept intruding into his reality, its intentions unclear. What did it want from him? What could he possibly gain, and what might he have to sacrifice in return?
As these thoughts tumbled through his mind, a new notification appeared, pulling his attention back to the enigmatic screen.

Read the description: Role Play System
---
Raymond read the words again: "Description? Role Play System." So this was the name of the mysterious window that kept materializing before him. Despite the revelation, he remained as collected as ever, his face a mask of calm curiosity.
Without hesitation, he raised a finger, poised to click on the prompt. Uncertainty flickered in the back of his mind, but the urge to interact with the system overrode any doubts.
Click!
The soft sound confirmed his action, but Raymond didn't dwell on it. His focus remained fixed on the screen, absorbing every detail it presented.

Read this important notice. You have been chosen by the Dragon King to fix his predicament. His fate is now in your hands, and you might ask why he chose you. Well, it was just because he doesn't trust himself.
The Dragon King is a troll, so don't get too emotionless in this life. The bottom line is that he pitied your life back on Earth. He already made a plan for you to live in this world happily, but, of course, with challenges.
As already mentioned, the Dragon King is a troll, so he won't surely give you an easy life. So, he used his life to give you a life filled with challenges.
You won't meet the Dragon King unless you finish all the chapters in his life. As for this life, another description will be presented.
---
Raymond stood dumbfounded, staring at the screen. "What the hell is this?" he muttered. This wasn't even a proper description. Was he just being played?
"A troll? The Dragon King?" He scoffed, trying to make sense of the cryptic message. "So, depending on the title, 30 years from now, I will become a Dragon King, or is this life destined to be the Dragon King?"
Questions swirled in his mind, each one more bewildering than the last. The scant information left him frustrated, hungry for clarity. As if in response to his silent plea, another description materialized on the screen.
---
Read this important notice. This is the life of the Dragon King, in an original plot. He had designed his life for your convenience, but with a twist of challenges.
The Dragon King rearranged his life into a plot with plenty of challenges and predicaments destined for the character.
"Character" is the term for you as you are part of the plot. Whether you believe that you are the main character depends on you.
The Dragon King faced different doom days. This means that the problems he had in the past were no jokes. They were all fatal or had the potential to be fatal.
Complete the missions and chapters. If you don't wish to comply with this, you can just reject it and return to the proper flow of reincarnation. But please be reminded that you can't undo your decisions.
However, you should also be informed that this offer is solely planned for you. You don't have any rivals, so the decision is in your hands.
---
Raymond found himself speechless once more. The Dragon King had planned all this for him? The thought of a benevolent, kind-hearted dragon guiding his fate was almost too much to believe.
"I was given another chance for a better life. Even with challenges, the Dragon King sure knows what kind of person I am," he murmured, a sense of gratitude welling up inside him.
Without hesitation, he embraced the opportunity. Of course, he accepted it!
