"Mr. Kyle, welcome."
A soft, melodic voice reached Kyle's ears.
In front of him stood a girl who was five feet tall. Her short, petite figure gave off a cute vibe.
She wore a white dress with a black bow tie, a black belt, black shoes and a dark blue hat.
Her raven-black hair was tied into two braids that flew down her shoulders and stopped just below her breasts.
Her black pupils were like two abysses that could trap Kyle in their embrace.
Nevertheless, Kyle's gaze was locked deep in her eyes.
For once, it wasn't a girl's breasts that stole her glance; it was her eyes.
'...Beautiful'

"You okay, Mr. Kyle?"
Kyle was jolted awake by the girl's shout.
He shook his head. Then he looked at the girl and sheepishly said while scratching the back of his head.
"Ah-haha, I was just looking at your seeds."
Behind her was a small wooden stall containing different kinds of seeds in glass jars. Their appearance was very strange.
Some of them glowed in bright yellow colors, some had a small mouth filled with fangs, some were the size of an adult male's fist, etc.
On top of that, they also had weird names.
'Pea shooter, Bleeding thorn, hardened potato, muncher'
Kyle's examined the magical-looking seeds in a daze.
After a few seconds, he forced himself to focus and took a couple of steps back while staring at the small girl with a serious expression.
"Who are You? Where the fuck am I?"
The girl's mouth curled upward when he heard Kyle's question. She instantly disappeared from where she was and appeared in front of him. Then, before he could react, she pressed her index finger against his temple.
Suddenly, a ton of information flooded into his mind like a waterfall.
The information contained what happened to him, the geopolitics of this new world, the geography of it, A brief history of Godroot village, and Information regarding this world's magics.
"Ugh"
Kyle slumped to his knees while clutching his head tightly.
Receiving a bundle of information as big as that was quite tiring to a normal human such as himself.
After a few breaths, he turned his head and looked at the girl again. He lingered for a moment and asked.
"So I died and reincarnated as a tree? And I received a....farming system? Like in those webnovels?"
The girl listened to his question attentively for a moment before nodding her head enthusiastically.
"Yeeey, you got it right."
She then turned around and pointed toward the Stall containing the magical seeds.
"Enough chatting, let's go and quickly choose your first seed."
After saying that, she stepped toward the wooden stall with Kyle following him.
Even though his eyes looked focused, his mind was in chaos.
Many questions gnawed at his mind, looking for answers that he doesn't have.
His heart was drowned in dread and the shock from his sudden death.
He always wanted to die, but he never thought it would be this painful on his conscience.
He stopped him from vomiting with his trembling right hand and continued following the strange-looking girl.

"Who are you?"
The girl was about to take a seed that exactly looked like a golden coin, but was interrupted by an anxious Kyle.
The girl looked into his eyes for a moment and suddenly pouted.
"Hmmph, you are an idiot."
Kyle was surprised at this sudden change of attitude, but the cute expression on her face instantly calmed his violently beating heart.
He squinted his eyes at her and asked.
"Why are you calling me an idiot?"
The girl put the coin away and crossed her arms.
"Can't you really tell who I am?"
A frown appeared on Kyle's face.
He turned silent and thought about her identity for a moment.
'This girl...she displays astounding magic powers and has directly summoned me here. She has a seed stall and even lives inside my mind or...soul. She also gave me a lot of information, even regarding my past life...WAIT'
He looked at the cute girl with an astounding expression and asked.
"Are you the...system?"
A big smile appeared on the girl's face while she jumped in joy.
"Yey, you got it right."
She then turned around and quickly took the coin seed into her hand.
"And I am also the person who sells you magical seeds."
Kyle once again activated his thought process.
'So, she is the system?'
'I always felt like she was some kind of powerful being, but I didn't think she was the system itself.'
'She looked so real.....'
Kyle then glanced at the seed in her hand and asked.
"This is a seed? What does it do?"
"Ohh-this....this is the Goldmine plant's seed. Here, take it."
She said while putting the golden coin in his hand.
Kyle was surprised at first, but he quickly calmed down and inspected the seed in his hand.
The seed not only looked like a golden coin but also felt like one. Its surface was metallic, and it had a weight similar to a metal coin. It shone under the bright sunlight with a metallic luster.
No matter how much he looked, he couldn't see anything indicating it was a seed.
He caressed the metal surface with a conflicted expression.
'Is this girl...making a fool out of me?'
Suddenly, a translucent light blue panel appeared in front of him.
Kyle was surprised at first, but calmed down when he saw the information in it.
[Goldmine]
[Rank = Rare]
[Level = 1]
[Effect = Can produce ten coins a day.]
Kyle read the white glowing words with a curious expression before taking his gaze off of it.
As soon as he did that, the panel disappeared, and the cute girl appeared in his vision again.
Her eyes looked like deep chasms that would trap him if he stared too long.
And he might be even willing to get trapped.
'NO'
He quickly closed his eyes and thought.
'...She isn't human.'
After reciting that word a couple of times in his mind, he looked at the girl again without meeting her gaze. He lingered for a moment and asked.
"What should I do with this?"
The girl's mouth curled upward, and she pointed toward a crude shovel leaning against the stall.
"Dig a hole"
