"oh well, good to know it works. Okay then check the next one... Appraisal"
-Error-
"Then it suddenly don't.... oh looking at the first one, it doesn't tell you what it is but it tells you "why"? instead?"
As he took a few more minutes to understand the dialogues appearing per his appraisal, he got to know several details.
"Maybe because I have zero, I think MP means mana and basically I have none. Yeah, the usual other world setup."
He then checked the other status as well.
STR
-The Average values for a grown man is 10
AGI
-The Average values for a grown man is 10
INT
-The Average values for a grown man is 10
"So it wasn't why?... I don't get it. So it basically means my Intelligence is higher than the usual guy. That's a good start. Well then, let me try this one.. Inventory"
Then a game like inventory interface appeared.
"Ill try to store this gun and bullets."
The picture of a gun appeared on the first column and the bullets also only took up 1 space. It seems that items of the same type stacks like your typical game inventory.
"Its the same as most games neat now let me try big items".
He went to the old house and tested his ability on some moveable things that he can think of.
-Old scooter
-Fridge
-Old couch
-Chainsaw
-Gasket
"It works on most items, as long as I can move it. I can't store those big logs after all. Maybe I can store them after they became planks"
He checked if he can store the big logs beside the cabin but there is prompt saying
-Item too big, reduce item size before storage.
"Oh well, I guess that's a start. Time to prepare for the other side then."

Brig rode his scooter to the nearest grocery to buy himself some necessities using his measly funds.
As for the other side, what he saw was mostly surrounded by dense forest meaning he will be going camping soon.
He got the cheapest tent and sleeping bag that his money could afford him and poured all of his remaining money into food. As for bullets, he knew his current budget wouldn't cut it so he decided to rely on his 5 remaining ammunition boxes that he found on the drawer.
Most of the food he got was bread, pasta noodles, cup noodles, some canned meat and condiments for the noodle soup he planned to on making. The utensils will come from the old house. As for fire, he took out the whole gasoline stove set and dining table from the house and stored it in his inventory.
"At this point I wanna shoplift and get me some meat but nope. Might get me some tummy ache later."
Returning to the old house, Brig did a double check on his inventory and only took out his pre loaded gun and an old bolo machete to start his journey on the other side.

"Trees, trees... shrubs.. yeah nothing here"
As he wondered not far from the "portal tree" as what he would call it. He decided to make some markers so that he would not lose his way if he keeps on going further from it. Not long after, he saw a man made path along the bunch of shrubs he was treading on.
"Now it begins... but wait.. do I go left or right."
He made a final marker and took out his scooter to ride along the path. He did not want to put the gun back his inventory but since he doesn't have a holster yet, it would be inconvenient to ride the scooter with a gun on his hand. Also, the road was slightly bumpy and he could drop it.
..
Few minutes later, he heard sounds of clashing metal and people screaming from left and right. He took out his gun and stored his scooter simultaneously. As he began walking towards the scramble, he immediately gave a short assessment of what was going on.
"This looks like a knights versus bandit scenario. but we can't be too sure."
Brig began an internal discussion with his self whether on to shoot or not to shoot. Since either way this would be his first time killing people if he ever needs to shoot.
As he began to hesitate, he used appraisal on the people and found out that it was indeed a knights versus bandits scenario he had been imagining, a typical scenario that he had watched many times.
Still hidden on a tree near the fight, he still hesitated until a knight was slashed by a bandit on the forearm.
"Nah sh*t, there will be some dead people anyway. I'll just treat it as some kind of ass*** c**d anyway."
On a panic, Brig thought to himself of a very unrelated video game.
**Bullet sounds**
3 bandits dropped almost immediately after the initial loud sound of the gun.
The sounds of battle stopped. Another shot rang from the air, a bandit was hit on the shoulder. Then two more loud shots, two bandits dropped dead again. Now there only remains 2 more bandits and the one who got shot in the shoulder standing. The loud sound stopped for a while.
