On a bright morning, I, a 17-year-old senior student of a high school in a god-forsaken village, jumped down the stairs, full of energy. But deep down, I was tired as hell with no sleep, as I had binged watched an entire isekai anime all night. I somehow managed to land perfectly without injuring myself, but I was so tired at that moment that I stood there and thought to myself.
"Man, I wish I were in a show like that, being the all-powerful hero I can be them."
Then I want to go to the door, skipping breakfast. Then I again spoke to myself
"No way I can be a hero, I am so irresponsible"
It hurt to admit it, but it was the truth. I was so irresponsible that I skipped breakfast and wore the same clothes for the 3rd day.
.
.
.
After I went out the door and went down the steps, and with all the misfortune of the world, a truck drove at maximum speed. As we know, there is no anti-drunk technique. So, it was rushing through the roads like a bolt of lightning.
And by some bad luck or my past actions, my senses were sloppy as hell. I couldn't hear the truck approaching, even if the roads were clear.
By sheer luck or some calamity, the truck hit me just as I was trying to cross the road.
I felt no pain in the moment, as my senses were weakened to a point where I couldn't experience the pain due to my lack of sleep.
.
.
.
After that, I only saw a black screen of nothingness.
I tried to open my eyes and saw nothing. I tried to hear but no sound came back. I shouted, but I myself couldn't hear my voice. I felt no gravity pulling me floating through a landscape of nothingness at all.
I thought
"So this is the afterlife, I wanted to be in heaven, but it looks like from my surroundings that I am in hell."
A calm and gentle voice interrupted me, echoing through the dark void"
"No, boy, you are not going to the afterlife."
I sigh and speak
"So, I was such a bad boy that I won't even be accepted in hell.."
She closed my mouth i disgust and spoke again
"eww no way, you are drowning yourself in meaningless guilt"
She spoke this time with geltelness and affection.
"plz don't say mean things to yourself, you are not that bad. I myself have definitely seen worse people go to heaven"
I speak next
"Women or goddess or who are you, Tell me your name"
She laughed and again spoke
"hehehehi you will know when the time comes"
I desperately ask
"Who are you? Answer me, miss."
She sighs in annoyance and says
"Why and who you got truck-kun"
She did not answer my question and instead a deep white light pulled me towards it and spiralled itself on me like a white coloured black hole. For one moment, I felt pain. But only in a millisecond I was relieved of the pain.
.
.
.
I momentarily lost consciousness but still stood on the ground strong as hell. After a few moments, I regained consciousness. I realised that my senses were working again.
I opened my eyes and saw the beautiful forest around me. I could also now hear the birds chirping. The smell of the ground. And most importantly, I could feel like gravity was holding me back, or down, at least I won't float.
Then I felt a sharp sensation of something very unfamiliar or a bit familiar in a huge amount, then my body again was refreshed, even though I hadn't slept last night.
Then out of nowhere I got the urge to say and said it.
"open status menu"
A loud pitch noise came in a woman's voice
"menu opened"
It was a blue menu like one would see in an RPG game
It looked like this
My picture
name: Sarbayan
mana: 100
magic type: fire
summons: 0
Potential: 1000%
I was left bamboozled after the last state
------------------lot lot of writing -------------
a lot------------------------------------------
After reading it, I understood shit. Then I spoke with myself again.
"So my morning wish came true but now what"
Suddenly, I heard the system speaking.
"alert important message, important person, important thing, wake up wake up wake up"
I shouted in anger
"I am awake you dumbass"
I clicked on the notification like a toddler on his mother's phone.
It stated it's a message for Nananah
"Good luck on your adventure, you only get one so choose wisely"
-goddess
I spoke again
"So finally my answer"
Then, as I scrolled through the message, I found something called a max level card.
it stated
"chose one attribute and a related one along with it"
I was shocked and asked myself a big question
Am I dreaming"
Then, to test, I tried the old reliable slap myself method. After slapping myself. After doing that I held my cheek in pain and said
"It hurts .so now I am an isekai protagonist now huhh"
Then I clicked on the card it stated
"chose an attribute"
1. Max mana. (You can use almost unlimited magic with high stamina with max magic defence)
2. Max magic. (You can use god level spells and also your mana will be maxed)
3. Max strength. (you become insanely strong and get iron skin for max defence)
4. Max defence. (You max both physical and mana defence and can take an insane amount of hits)
5. Max speed (you can be fast and have insane reflexes)
6.max summoner. (You become a master summoner with a built-in beast book in your mind after seeing any animal in the world, you know its food choices and habitat. In addition, you can also bind monsters as your summons fiercely You also get max mana so you can use insane magic but you have lower defence)
.
.
I definitely got overwhelmed by all the nice options, but I realised that she wants me to take the summoner route.
So, I picked it just after that the system replied in a shrill voice
"Thank you sir for your cooperation"
I knew my thisis was correct and that Nananah wanted me to be a summoner.
.
.
.
Then after all the mayhem I tried to look around and felt a bad sense in my spine and stomach,
A huge burst of dark mana took place, and after I opened my eyes, I saw an old, dead crow's body. The most shocking thing was that the body of the crow had no eyes, only an empty socket. Then, looking up, I saw a bird with cracked red eyes fly by, flying over the trees. Then I had a very nice plan. I went behind he crow and waited, and at one moment I saw it was as still as a statue. Then I swept in and caught it in my hand. 1st, it did not move like it was changing its in-game settings.
Then after some moment it started to move and resist my grip, but joke's on him, I actually held him in a grip people held a chicken in, so he could barely move. Then I chanted.
"Your soul is my soul and we stand for the same soul, or I don't know. NOW SOUL BOUND!"
I scream at the top of my lungs. Then a green aura surrounded the crow.
.
After some time, the glow vanishes and the crow stops rising. And a notification is received on my system.
"Congratulations you caught an ancient parasite in a crow's body"
I was left speechless and the crow in annoyance spoke
"So, I will be the summon of a brat like you"
In a calm but irritated manner, I speak
"Yes I am now your master, crow sir"
Then the crow said
"Name me then"
I think for a second and say
"Tempest yes Tempest"
The crow looks nostalgic and says while smiling, clearly pleased with his name.
"master thanks for naming me something I like"
I say
"No need to praise me and thank you"
Then while smiling I asked
"Did you have masters before and let me guess they named you Wiredly"
Tempst cocks his head and says
"Jackpot, you hit the right spot"
Then he says laughing
"I have lived and travelled this land for over 400 years, if you count my eyes and soul age"
I speak clearly amazed
"Yes I was you do it, but still it's cool I guess"
Tempest speaks
"So you can figure things out on your own ay, so I don't need to help you I every situation that requires thought process"
I looked dumb founded after realising a crow spoke clear human language
"wait even as a crow you can spek ike a human'
Tempest smiles
"ok ok ok, new master you definitely have to learn a lot about this world then"
I node agreeing
"Yeah, you are correct, let's go to the nearest village shall we"
Tempest agrees
"Yeah we should definitely find a place"
Then I start walking as Tempest rides on my shoulder and I think about what I got myself into by not resting properly at night.
While Tempest thinks How will his new master treat him?
But it is sure none of us expect me to know what might happen till the next chapter.
