Ding, ding!
Waking up from the sound of a game system notification is truly not the best way to start your day. I grunt as I move to my side, reaching for my phone, only to feel something unusual… “When did my bed start to feel prickly and bumpy?” Feeling sluggish with eyes still closed, I instinctively pat and caress my bed, as a scent of what seemingly from a fresh morning grass entered my nose.
My eyelids flew open, startled to see my face kissing a patch of grass, “What…?” I forced myself to turn on my back and sit up, only to be welcomed by the view of an open field. I blinked and rubbed my sleepy eyes, looked up to see 2 bright moons floating on a perfect hue of purple and pink colored sky. “Wha…. What the hell?!”
I stayed seated and frozen staring at the view. Suddenly, a huge pop-up notification that says:
Collect your Daily Sign-in Rewards
[Confirm]
Blinking as it notifies me. I continue to stare dumbfounded as many thoughts and questions invade my mind. Suddenly, a burst of laughter escaped from my mouth, it continued for a good minute until, tears formed in the corners of my eyes. “HAHAHAHAH!” I must be dreaming! A very interesting dream!
Slap!
I slapped my face hard with both hands, thinking that the action would startle me to wake up. But all it did was leave a stinging pain and reddened cheeks. “Ah! Ow! Fffuuu!”
Fuck! That was painful!
I gently rub my cheeks with both hands as I console myself…
Just what the hell is going on?
“I… I must have gone crazy… This just can’t be real!” I looked back to the pop-up and slowly lifted a hand to click the [Confirm] button. “Wait… what happens if I confirm?”
This is not good. I retracted my hand back as I pondered more about the situation. “Have I really transmigrated into a game? But how? Why?”
The situation won’t allow me to ponder more on these questions, facing this new reality is more important.
“I need to understand this world I’ve transmigrated to before I do anything…”
I pat myself and look down to check my clothes and noticed myself wearing a simple brown leather vest on top of a white long-sleeved shirt, my hands are equipped with dark leather finger-less gloves. My brown-slightly-baggy pants have huge pockets on each side, while my feet are protected with boots that is good for trekking.
“This… this get up… isn’t this too much of a typical outfit for a beginner?!”
Frustrated from this realization, I reach-in to each of my pockets thinking about my basic inventory. “If what I’m thinking is right, I should have useful things for beginners in these pockets…”
As I reach deeper, I managed to bring out a sword, some bottles filled with red liquid, a pouch of round black pills, some scrolls, two books and a silver ingot. An involuntary twitch can be seen for the corners of my mouth… “Damn, these pockets can really question logic!”
I placed the items on the ground trying to figure out the uses of each items, but as someone who has played a ton of role-playing games, I could already assume what these things are for. My eyes fixated on the two books, one is colored green while the other is colored black. Suddenly…
[Notice]
Congratulations! You’ve gained: 1 Adventurer’s Simple Sword
Congratulations! You’ve gained: 10 Bottles of Liquid Life
Congratulations! You’ve gained: 1 Pouch of Energy Pills
Congratulations! You’ve gained: 10 Transportation Scrolls
Congratulations! You’ve gained: Adventurer’s Blessing Book
Congratulations! You’ve gained: 500 Silver Ingot
One after another, the system announced the items and a pop-up of summary of its uses are hovering each item. My sight landed on the black book that was not announced by the system. “Could it be… an unknown special skill book?”
The green book looks something simple that you’d see in any bookstore, but without any writings and only simple golden floral design engraved on it. It’s easy to assume that it’s a basic skill book given when you’re new in the game.
But the black book seems to be extra special. The cover is made of leather with intricate engraved design, a dark purple diamond-shaped gem is placed perfectly at its center.
I reach for the green book and open it, then a green glow surrounded me. This glow felt warm and cold, it was a very comfortable feeling.
[Notice]
Congratulations! You’ve learned: Basic Sword Swing
“So, this is how you learn skills…” As I dazed on the idea of learning skills, I unsheathed the sword and made a swinging motion. “Eh? Basic sword swing… this skill is supposed to be a blessing???” the corners of my mouth twitched again. Why, oh why, couldn’t I just swing the sword myself without needing to learn this skill?! Who would have thought that learning how to swing a sword is a blessing in this world?
“Master, that’s not how you execute the skill.”
Startled, I turned my head looking around to see who it was but saw no one. “I might have really gone crazy that I’m hearing voices now too…”
“You’re not crazy, Master. If you were, I’d refuse to serve you!”
“Master?” Why is this childlike voice I’m hearing calling me master?
“I’m not a child, you little twerp! I’m your contracted guardian, a mighty holy beast! The almighty amongst the five holy guardians of Bisbard! The right hand of the God of Creation!”
“…little twerp?” as I feel my left brow twitch from the annoyance of the loud obnoxious voice invading my mind. “So, why did the almighty holy beast make a contract with a little twerp? And how am I a little twerp?!”
“Of course, you’re a little twerp! You’re only seven years of human age and I am thousands of years older than you!”
“LIES! I’m 24 this year!” as I screamed loudly, I realized how childlike I sounded. I frantically removed my finger-less gloves and looked at my hands. My sight welcomed my smooth and small looking hands with slightly pudgy fingers. Then, the voice in my head gently advised me.
“…Master, you should chant [Status] if you’d like to know more about yourself.”
While still feeling annoyed, I calmed myself down and thought how stupid of me to not think about checking my status first. I cleared my throat and chanted: “Status.”

“What’s with these skills…? It’s all heal!”
“You should be rejoicing, my foolish master! God Turae made sure that you won’t have any excuses to die. Hmph!”
Okay, so maybe this voice in my head is telling the truth about me being 7 years old… but what’s this 3rd Prince of Alistaire?! “Hey, holy beast… w-what’s with this rank? Is it possible that I’m seeing someone else’s status board? Who is Drei?”
“How rude, Master! I have a name, it’s Morsvita! Call me Mors.”
“Heh… you may have been calling me master, but it’s always accompanied with an insult! How am I rude, huh, little Mors? Should I talk to God Turae when we get back to the capital?” I asked with a smile on my face.
“M-master… *ahem* the status board you are seeing is definitely yours. You’re Dreixon Oldrich Jean-luc Alistaire, the youngest and the 3rd prince of Alistaire royal family. You are known as Prince Drei by the masses and Drei by your family.”
