the start of a story (1)
My foot is hurt, my head is spinning, i don't know how far did i run from the camp, the night is really quiet, but out of nowhere a sound has break that silence.
A very loud sound, a sound that's very familiar to my ear.A sound of a quest that has been carried out.
A panel appear right in front of me.
_____

_____
[Quest has been carried out, sending reward...]
_____
Choose one of the following rewards:
1) class
2) down grades skill
3) exp (1.000)
4) down grades item
5) money (100 gold)
_____
Looking at the rewards i stopped running and rest under a tree to catch a breath.
"Huaahh....haaah, that sure is very tiring"
My leg gave up and i tried my best to sit in the ground.
"Let's see..."
There's number of five reward, and all of that is a really good reward, well let's think.
If i choose a skill i need a lot of times to evolve it's grade, if i take exp i don't really have a need for it right now.
If i pick items what should i choose, it's not like i remember all of the item in M-O, money is really essential, but i don't know the way to go to the nearest city.
Well class it is, actually class is like a starter bundle, if i choose swordsman as my class i can get a sword for free and sometimes if im lucky i can get a bit of money.
I clicked number one at the panel, the panel quickly dissapear and another panel shows up.
_____
Class gacha:
3× free tries.
{Spin}
_____
"It's a gacha.....fuck, my luck is the most shit thing i have you know!"
I looked at the ground and think about all the thing that has just happen.
I have achieves one of the dreams that i have, i got transferred into another world and possessed a person body, when i thought my life can only become more good than this, all of that has gone because of my misfortune.
And the person that has helped me is always, either they died or they got unlucky, so no matter who i relay on they will always regret it.
And now im on the run because the person who bought me, release me into the wild without any preparation.
"When did it all go wrong, why is it always go wrong, why my life always has to be this frustrating, why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?–" As i keep asking about my life, my nose start to bleed.
I stop asking and tries to stop the bleed, i take a piece of my clothing and shoved it into my nose.
I tries to gather my thoughts and tries to think straight.
"if i keep nagging it will not changing anything, my life will stay miserable and misfortune will always waiting for me. All i can do for now is survive, and figure out how do i registered to Starla?"
I keep thinking and thinking but nothing came to my mind.
i can think about that later
I raise my head and looked at the gacha panel in front of me, all i can think for now is my current situation.
Without hesitation i clicked at the {spin} button, the class immediately shows up.

「 Sending Lantern Bearer class bundle...」
A bundle is falling out of nowhere, it falls right beside me.
"I might as well checked the bundle then"
i picked it up and check all the thing that the system gave me, as i tried to identify the items a panel shows up and identified it for me.
_____

1) Lantern
• The lantern that will lead it's user to his desired place, the lantern will only
Light up if the Bearer put his life into it.
2) Book of Record
• Record of every history that have
Happened, one need to search
A glimpse of history to use this
Book.
3) Key To The World.
• Opened the gate to the outer world.
_____
"I don't know if this item useful or not"
as i read the description of the items, another panel shows up and covered the previous panel.
[Sending The New Lantern Bearer To Nowhere...]
"What?"
With a blink of an eye, all of the tree that surrounded me has gone, and all that has changed to a complete darkness, the darkness of the world start to covered my body with some sort of liquid making my body hard to move.
I take the lantern that the system gave to me, but whatever i do the lantern will not light up.
"Oh right i need to put my life for it to light up, but how?"
From the bundle, the Book of Record started to float and stopped right in front of me, even though there is no light at all somehow i can read the word in the book.
「Your "life" is placed right at the center of your body 」
"But how will i get it?"
I asked the book several times but it didn't tell me anything, i looked at my leg and see that it almost completely consumed by the darkness.
I put my hand right at the center of my chest, i try to go through my flesh and rib cage to grab my life.
No matter how hurt it is, and how long it takes, somehow i managed to stay alive while im still in the process.
***
'is it has been over a month, how long do i need to do this' half of my body has been completely consumed by the darkness.
***
After another month, finnaly i reached the life that I've searched all this time, my hand completely covered with blood, and my lower body is numb.
I opened the lantern and put my life into it, As soon as i closed the lantern, the light of the lantern shines about 10 meter from my surroundings.
the life that im talking about is an essence of life, in this world all living creatures have an orb inside their body, that life is a record of the history of One life.
And if someone has lost its life, well they die.
But i think Because of the fact that im an otherworld human, possessing a body that live in this world, that means i can't die if my life has been taken.
"I think now is the right time to test my theory"
I closed my eyes hoping that i will be brought back to the last place im staying at, and after about them minutes i really brought back sacrificing half of my self.
Im back at the unknown forrest where i gambley class, it's all thanks to half me.
But can i really call him half me when he just a....
I shook my head in denial, while im checking on my body searching for any wound but there nothing, my body is as healthy as it can get
"Well now let's search for the nearest city!"
***
I woken up in confusion, why am i in this pitch black world? I ask.
But searching through "my" last memories i can tell that this is the so called Nowhere, it's pretty much only darkness here.
And to think he will sacrifice me, he sure is a selfish person all the world can get. With this lantern on my hand i determine to search far the truth of my current class.
Wait if Lantern Bearer has become my main class, what will that guy class be? Nah i shouldn't think about that guy in this situation.
I walk straight ahead hoping that i found something that can get me out of this place.
the ground below me is a bit water like,but my foot did not wet at all, is it only an illusion?.
***
A month has passed, there's nothing.
***
Three months have passed, still nothing
*""
It's has been a year and i Lost my memory for about 6 month ago, i think i have become crazy.
***
After over 10 years of walking i finally found something, it's a white table and a white chair.
I ran towards it in hope that i can find something there that i can use.
"Nothing" there's nothing on the tables, i sat on the chair knowing that all of my efforts has brought me to nothing.
My head is in mess, my physics is tired, but my mental is already crumbles. I can become insane at any given time.
I closed my eye and rest after a long time of walking.
