Chapter 1: Information from the Future
A streak of light hurtled toward a blue star at an alarming speed, destined for District 7 on the western continent. It was nighttime—nearly midnight—and with some individuals already asleep, not everyone witnessed this extraordinary phenomenon.
The light was both dazzling and beautiful, exhibiting a striking blue hue.
In a hotel room, a woman remarked to her husband, "Husband, look at that magnificent light. Could it be a shooting star?" she asked, eyes alight with wonder.
"Indeed, it appears to be a shooting star, although it does not quite resemble one. Nonetheless, let us make a wish for more children," he replied. The couple was newly married, enjoying their honeymoon night.

In District 7, at the Cromwell mansion, a young boy lay fast asleep, his face adorned with a serene smile. He was dreaming of playing with his mother—a cherished pastime for the two of them, despite his being eighteen years old. Their playful interactions were a testament to the miracle of his birth; his mother, once deemed incapable of having children, experienced an unexpected blessing with his arrival. Her profound affection for her son was evident in their childlike camaraderie.
However, to the outside world, this young master was known for his icy demeanor—a result of a traumatic event during his childhood that led him to become emotionally distant from others.
Unbeknownst to anyone, a mysterious blue light suddenly entered the young master's body with a whooshing sound. He convulsed momentarily before settling back into his dream state.

Should anyone enter Liam's room, they would notice significant changes in his physical condition. Liam had previously been unable to walk or rise independently due to his disability. Consequently, maids were responsible for his care.
Unfortunately, the Cromwell family, citing his disability, expelled his parents from their clan. Undeterred, his mother and father labored diligently to establish their own business, which eventually prospered. Now, due to their shameless nature, the Cromwells sought to seize control of these thriving enterprises. With their considerable wealth and influence, they apportioned the business amongst themselves.
Liam's parents, desiring only their son's happiness, relocated from the capital city to District 7, where individuals of lower socioeconomic classes resided.
Unbeknownst to those involved in the decision-making process, it proved fortuitous for them. Liam, who had been living with disabilities, was now undergoing a transformation as his body was being reconstructed. This change had bestowed upon him a gift that would be of significant assistance in the future.

It was Friday morning when Liam woke up, his black hair messy, golden pupils gleaming, and his expression cold. He felt strangely energetic despite having had a ghostly physical condition the night before.
"What has occurred to my body? I find myself able to move my legs and elevate myself… What has transpired? I am astonished, as this seems akin to a supernatural event. There must be some entity or individual responsible for assisting me. Should I discover who or what has aided me, I shall implore my parents to offer their reverence, irrespective of whether it is a divine or malevolent force. Now, my parents need not sell their business to support my mobility or address my disability. Contemplating the business and the Cromwell family, a sense of intense animosity begins to surge within me."
"Wait a minute—what is that in front of my vision? Was it present before?" Liam was taken aback to find a series of texts appearing before his eyes. Regardless of where he directed his gaze, the messages persisted in following him.
"It bears a resemblance to the status screens commonly found in my video games and web novels; however, this particular one seems to possess a unique quality." It was blue in color and straightforward, initially displaying his name and status, followed by a menacing message.

[Information unencrypted…..]
Greetings, Host. I am your system from an alternate dimension. I understand that our time is limited, so I shall convey the information concisely.
In other dimensions and universes, Hosts have perished because they were granted systems and acted as they pleased, leading to the end of their worlds. You are aware of the corrupting influence of power on humans, as it brings forth their inner demons with predictable outcomes.
This is why I have chosen you, though your circumstances were unique, necessitating the use of all my powers to assist you.
The information displayed on the panel is straightforward: 'Strength' refers to your ability to perform tasks such as punching and lifting; 'Speed' pertains to your current pace, including running and reaction times; and 'Body' concerns your constitution, muscle density, and endurance. The BPM indicates your heart rate, which assists in transforming into your Weretiger form—something you must understand yourself.
'Energy' is akin to mana in the games you play, used for skills and other abilities. 'Add point' refers to statistics gained by defeating the undead and other challenges you will encounter in the future.
Host, I know you are different from others, which is why I chose you. Farewell, as I cannot disclose everything, as it may lead to unforeseen complications.

This message was encrypted and inundated his mind like a torrent.
"ARGGG!" Liam couldn't help but clutch his head in pain, as though it were going to explode.
