In Yuuya's perspective, after his life flashed before him, everything went silent.
After that, it's just all nothing. Smell, taste, sensation, everything. There is not even an afterlife.
Then suddenly, he heard something. A voice, voice that sounds eerily similar to his.
[The penalty has been lifted.]
[The owner has completed the time frame of the penalty. Returning the consciousness of Yuuya Mitsukuji now.]
He already accepted the fact that he is gonna die. But he cannot help but be curious why is there someone talking that has his voice?
It was all very confusing to him. What do we do when we are unaware of what's happening around us when our eyes are closed? That's right, we open our eyes to look around.
But then, what greets him is not what he expected. He expected to see the afterlife but no.
His first words?
"The ceiling is unfamiliar."
"..."
...
"Wait that is not a ceiling. That's a damn tree."
"Wait what in the world is happening?"
Yuuya then gets up from his position to look around.
"It seems like I'm in a forest or something and it's currently day time. But I'm supposed to be dead. Where am I?" Yuuya stated as he looks around a bit more.
"No wait let's calm down for now. Somehow I have some clothes on (a black t-shirt and a long gray pants) but somehow barefooted. But what's important is my body condition." after saying so, Yuuya continues to examine his body.
In process of doing so, he discovered no wounds which surprises him. His blown off right shoulder is also fine.
He also does a few stretch here and there and is surprised to find out he retains his flexibility and peak body state.
"Well everything looks fine. Flexibility and strength is all the same as I remember it."
"Talking about memory, I feel like I'm forgetting something. But that cannot be, so why-"
Yuuya was cut off when his strong sense of hearing suddenly picked up a sound.
He looks for the source and see something moving behind a bush. Yuuya stared at it quietly and after a while something appears from it; and it's not what he is expecting.
Coming out from the bush, appears a green humanoid like entity that stands at about 3 feet in height. There is three of them and each has it's weapon which is just a stone.
"Is that... Is that a goblin?" said Yuuya in disbelief.
Suddenly one of the things lunges at Yuuya aiming to bash his head.
Yuuya then proceeds to dodge and grab it's hand then he delivers a blow to it's stomach knocking it out and launching the creature back to it's companions.
"Wow I just waked up and I'm already throwing hands with this? In the contrary you guys have a soft a body while having a humongous head."
"Right now I'm confused on what kind of world this is. But right now, none of that is important since you guys seemingly want me dead."
"You guys want a piece of me? Then come and get it." Said Yuuya as he taunts the two remaining goblins.
His taunts seemingly works as the goblins lunges at him.
Both goblin attack at the same time but Yuuya dodges. After dodging the attack, he grabs the first goblin he sees with his left and delivers a right hook to the goblins chin.
The force of his attack proved devastating as it literally snapped the goblins neck killing it.
After that, he just threw the goblin aside and lunges at the next one who hasn't regained it's footing yet.
He then kicked it at the groin launching it into the air and with all of his strength he delivers a powerful punch to it's solalr plexus. The force of which is so great his fist goes through the body of the goblin killing it.
"Damn, what a mess. I shouldn't have done that." Said Yuuya as he removed the goblin from his fist.
After doing so, he is a bit intrigue when the corpses of the goblin he just killed started turning into dust and what remains is just a crystal of some sort.
"Wait I feel like I've seen this thing before... Oh right, that anime called Danmachi!" Exclaimed Yuuya.
...
"No way. Ain't no way. Did I just get isekai'd to the world of Danmachi?"
[That's right.]
Out of nowhere the voice similar to his spoked once again, alerting Yuuya. He kept looking around but he doesn't see anyone.
[Don't bother. I'm not in the physical world. I'm inside your head.]
"What are you? Show yourself and why do you have my voice?" Said Yuuya.
Suddenly a blue screen like object appears in front of him.
[Let me introduce myself. You could just call me, System. I can guide you and answer your questions about this world as far as my power would allow.]
[For the voice part, hey, I'm a system, I can make my voice whatever I like. What, do you prefer a cute girl voice instead?]
[Something like this?] The system said in a very anime girl voice.
Yuuya who heard the sudden change in voice, cringed at the system's voice.
[See?] Said the system, returning into the voice of Yuuya.
[Don't get bothered by it too much. Just think of it like your own thoughts talking to your own thoughts or something.]
"Uhm okay...? Then why did you choose me?"
[The answer should be obvious enough but fine. As you know, you are not from this world. You're an intruder. Your existence itself shifted the balance of this world the very moment you came in here.]
[What I mean by balance is that everything that will happen as it normally do would change. Which will distrupt the balance of this world, forcing everything around it to adapt to prepare for the unprecedented event.]
[Meaning some unexpected event such as the sudden increase in strength of the monsters in this world as well as in numbers to happen leading to events that shouldn't happen in the original timeline.]
"So you're saying you are here to look after me?"
[Correct. I'm here to look at your actions and such. I'm here to make sure you don't do anything without any "justifiable" reasons that will lead to bad things that could cause chaos on this world.]
[The instant I saw you do something that could cause mass destruction without any valid reason, I'll make your head explode. In other words, I'll kill you.]
[Do you understand?]
"Yes... I understood." Said Yuuya as he process all the information he wast just told about.
[On the same time, I'm also here to guide you and help you to become stronger.]
"Oh really?"
[Yes. As you already know, you need a falna to progress in this world. But you, you are an exception.]
Suddenly, the screen expanded allowing Yuuya to currently see his current status.

"Damn my stats are quite high. Mind to explain what they do?" Ask Yuuya.
[Sure. First of is your magic, inspect. Just like what is sound, it allows you to inspect the characteristics and stats of an object, monster, person, and many more. This magic don't require any mana to use and has no cooldown.]
[Next up is Skill/Magic Creation. This is a powerful magic as it allows you to create a permanent or temporary magic or skill. All it needs is mana, description, and function of the said skill/magic. The more powerful you create something, the higher your level should be and the mana it requires. The said skill or magic that is created or copied will also be ruled out as original. What I mean by original is its almost as you have the said skill or magic as your own. This magic has no limits and has infinite possibility. This magic also don't need cooldown.]
"Uhuh, what about the this thing called AEEOC thingy?" Said Yuuya curiously.
[Oh yeah I almost forgot. Brace yourself this is gonna hurt a bit.]
"What do you mean-"
Suddenly Yuuya felt an extreme tantalizing pain in his left eye. It's as almost his eye is being stabbed by a heated knife.
Of course, Yuuya is also a human so he needs a way to express his pain like all of us do when we stub our toe.
So Yuuya gotta do what he need to do, *YELLS PROFANITIES IN ANCIENT JAPANESE*
After a while, the pain in his left eye stopped and Yuuya was left in the ground with cold sweat from what he just goes through.
"What in the hell did you just do to me?" Said Yuuya with no energy to even be angry to the system.
[I just planted AEEOC into you.]
"First of, what is the thing anyways?"
[AEEOC or also known as "All Existence Eyes of Creation" is a powerful magic that allows you to create anything you desire no matter the size and functionality. But the tradeoff is you must make it with every precise detail. For you to utilize this magic, you have to use your imagination and your memory to create the product you desire.]
[If even one detail is wrong, the product will disintegrate. But if you manage to make it right, it will work as intended. Another thing about this is if you decide to copy a weapon and you manage to pull it off without it disintegrating, it will also be ruled out as an original. The possibility of this magic is infinite and has no limitations. The greater the value of your creation, the higher your level should be and obviously needs more mana. The higher your level goes, the less the requirement that is needed to fulfill. You could use this anytime.]
"So uh you're saying that this magic AEEOC just needs me to imagine something what I want along with it's details like how it looks, it will automatically work?"
[Yes]
"So let's say I imagine the precise detail of how a gun looks and what it meant to be. Will that be enough and will it work even though I didn't imagine how it will function?"
[Yup. As long as you manage to imagine every precise detail of how it looks and what the object meant to be, AEEOC will do the rest.]
"Oh I see. Let me try this."
Yuuya then imagines a cup, then he implied in his mind that it's meant to have water in it. He also imagine it appearing in his hand.
Then the next moment, it does it appear in his hand, with water in it.
DING!
[[The usage of the magic AEEOC consumed 30 points of mana.]]
"Interesting... But it consumes mana more than I expected." Said Yuuya as he drinks the cup of water and throw it aside.
[One more thing. One of the additional effects of this magic is that it turns your left eye white during activation. When in usage of the magic, one may notice a sort of magic circle forming on your left eye. Your eyes should go back to normal once you deactivated it.]
_For reference, this is how it looks like._
"I understand. But what about my level? It should start at level 1 right? But why level 2?" Said Yuuya.
[Well according to your memories, you are a very talented person in your past life yes? You possess extreme athletic ability, talent, and potential. Even in your past life, your physical prowess far surpasses even the top athletes.]
[You can even break all the world records on Earth if you wanted to. But ultimately, you decided against it cause you deemed it a bother.]
"So you're telling me that back on Earth, I'm considered a level 2 by default?"
[Yup, which explains your superhuman abilities back there. But now, it was even more amplified by the existence of me and soon enough, the falna.]
"I see."
[Btw, I do mentioned that some things will change because of your existence. But worry not, the arcs that you know will still remain and happen.]
[Of course that is considering you didn't do something big. If you do, well even me cannot maintain the flow of story anymore.]
[Lastly, the flow of events here won't happen as fast as it was in the original lore.]
"What do you mean by that?"
[Basically, once you finish an arc, say the war game between Hestia and Apollo familia, the next arc would happen in months, half a year, or maybe even a year later.]
"Wait, why is the time between them so long?"
[Me personally? I don't have a clue either. All that I know is when will the next major event happen. But hey, look at the bright side of it, you have a plenty of time to get stronger in between the said events.]
"... Aight I guess. So what now?"
[Don't ask me, I ain't the one with the body.]
...
"Hey system, what time is it?"
[9:30 A.M]
"I see. Since I'm in the world of Danmachi, how far am I from Orario?"
[Approximately 35km towards north. If you start walking now, you'll reach Orario in about six to eight hours.]
Upon finishing it's statement, the system then showed a map to Orario as a guide for Yuuya.
"I better start walking now then. If I remember it correctly, the entrance to Orario requires valis. If that's the case, I'll make bags of valis along the way in intervals to not exhaust my mana." planned Yuuya.
And so, he started his long journey, well, long walk to Orario.
In his mind, he is still thinking about his home and family, and in the very corner of his mind, he is hoping that he could somehow find a way to return to his home.
He wants to ask the system about this, but he decided to do it in another time and just observe for now.
But if he is given the choice, he would wholeheartedly accept the offer to go back to his family and friends.
Even if it's just for a moment.
∆∆∆∆
AN: that's it for the chapter. For this chapter as you may notice, I decided to introduce Yuuya to his new world, as well as to introduce the system, some of his magic, and overall introduction to his new world. You get what I mean.
Trivia time:
He is very protective to his family and friends, and quite a yandere to his lover.
When he is 17 years old, he almost killed someone by covering them in melted gummy bears and throwing the poor person to a bath of molten potassium chlorate. Just because the said person looked at his lover weirdly.
Until then.
