-No Pov-
Inside a generic looking bedroom lie a young boy, seeming around 17 with short black hair, and a fair complexion. The boy seem to be in a deep slumber, as his alarm clock was currently blaring an annoying buzz, yet the boy never even twitched. Eventually the alarm turned off by itself, and the boy was free to hibernate all he wanted. That was until a VERY loud Ringing sound started playing nonstop.
-???-
'Uh, my heads killing me. Feels like I got hit by a truck. AND WOULD THAT BLASTED RINGING SHUT UP!' I groaned and slowly got up, feeling pretty good despite my splitting headache. As I slowly open my eyes, this weird, yet familiar looking screen was in front of my face.
It took me a good few seconds to realize what I was looking at, and then promptly dismiss it as me still being asleep. So, deciding to playing along, I touched the screen, and finally that ringing stopped.
'When am I going to wake up?' Usually this would be the part where a dream would end, but not looking to end this admittedly lifelike dream I open the status panel, and it shocked me somewhat.

Looking at this list of information my eyes nearly shot out of their sockets, but I was slowly starting to conclude that this was in fact, not a dream. 'Okay this is weird. Now that I'm awake, I can clearly feel the bed beneath me, so not a dream. Probably not a hallucination either, unless I somehow got drugged or something'
I sat there for a good minute before basically saying 'Screw it' and went with it. I got up and checked my body in a nearby mirror, thankfully I'm fully intact and just like I was before this weird situation.
Next thing I did was try to remember how this happened to me, I woke up, but I don't remember going to bed. All I remember was a bright light... 'Whatever, probably not important anyway' I shrugged and continued exploring.
-Flashback|No Pov-
We can see Jack in a convenience store, buying junk food and soda. Suddenly a man in a black mask holding a gun burst in and started yelling "All of you. hand over your valuables before I-" but before he could finish, he slipped and bonked his head on the floor, knocking himself out.
Everyone in the store stared for a minute before resuming what they were doing, no one restraining the man, nor calling the cops. Jack, having bought his items headed, out the store and having the decency to drag the man outside, yet not enough decency though, as he dropped him on the sidewalk.
He then started his walk back home, but all of a sudden while turning a corner onto another street, a giant truck came barreling down the sidewalk at him. The only word he got out before being hit was "Fuck." And then he was sent flying, landing in a tree, bent limply over a branch.
-End of Flashback|No Pov-
As the flashback was happening, Jack searched the rest of the house, finding it to his taste. It had a master bedroom, guest bedroom, two bathrooms, a kitchen, dining room, and a living room. Each room having the basic everyday items you'd expect.
A cool feature Jack noticed was a HUD that was always in his peripheral vision. It had a compass up top, a clock/date/weather display in the top right, top left had his health/mana/experience bars.
After having come to terms with this odd new reality he lived in (Pretty quickly mind you.) He opened another window, looking over his options which included: Status, Quests!, Inventory, Map, and Shop. Seeing the exclamation next to quests, his gamer instincts tingled as he quickly hit the button.
-Quests-
[D rank 1]
[C rank 0]
[B rank 0]
[A rank 0]
[S rank 0]
-Quests-
Seeing the list of quest types, and only having one, he selected D rank causing another screen to pop up.

Task 2: Investigate the System. {Complete}

Looking at the systems new prompt and after carefully reading it, Jack was very happy. "This is great, had to do practically nothing and got rewarded." Jack chuckled a little and claimed his reward, feeling an odd surge go through his body that he quite enjoyed.

Seeing his status already growing was awesome, but now he was curious about the book, so he opened his inventory and selected the book, being prompted [Would you like to learn? Y/N]. He obviously clicked yes, and then a flood of information entered his head of the skill [Basic mana control(D)].

All of these were really cool to Jack, though looking at the last one gave him a massive headache for some reason. But ignoring that, he decided to look for a computer to check where he is currently. But that seemed unneeded once the system opened a new screen showing a desktop of sorts.
He even had preinstalled apps such as: a streaming service that was just called 'stream', some unknown search engine named 'All knowledge', and some sort of music app just called 'Music app'. So he opened All knowledge and searched where he was currently, and the results shocked him. "I'm in Kuoh? But... Isn't that-" Jack cut himself off as he realized where he was, or to be more specific, where he was transmigrated too.
-Timeskip | Jack screaming for an hour-
"Okay, Okay. Calm down, I'm sure things aren't too bad... fuck my second life" Jack flopped down on his sofa and rubbed his face already feeling a new headache forming. He lay there, pondering what to do for a few minutes, before deciding on a course of action.
"Okay first things first, when am I? Has cannon started? Has the story already ended?"
"I need more power. The rankings for my stats make sense now, but their nowhere near high enough"
"I'm really hungry for some reason. I need to grab something too eat"
And deciding to do the easiest of his goals, he got off the couch and walked into the kitchen and opened his fridge. Inside was full of meat, from top to bottom, meat everywhere. "Odd, where's all the veggies, no fruits either? At least there's milk and cheese in here" He shrugged and got to work fixing a simple steak.
Which was what he was going to do, but for some reason the meat just wouldn't finish cooking in the time it should've taken. It's been cooking for a full hour and it still wasn't done, so Jack just chalked it up to anime bullshit and left it at that.
So having some time before his steak was done he decided to open the shop and look at it. He found it interesting, if not a little barebones. It had a few sections: armor, weapons, skill books, medicinal items, and a special section simply labeled roulette that was greyed out.
Not really in the mood to explore it all, he closed the shop and sat down to wait for his meal to finish, which took an additional hour, but it was finally done. So he served it up on his plate and dug in, only to be assaulted by the best thing he had ever tasted. His brain and body both stopped for a good 10 seconds before rebooting, with him proceeding to devour the thing whole.
He surprisingly didn't choke. But did berate himself for not savoring the food, instead deciding to swallow it whole. But not about to wallow over something so small, he quickly washed his plate, put it away, and went back up to his room. he decided to shower and sleep a little longer to let everything settle in his mind.
-The next day | Jack's Pov-
'This place is pretty nice' I am currently outside in Kuoh, looking around the area. I found that the park was only a 10 minute walk from my house, and the arcade was about 15 minutes. I already checked the arcade, even played a few games while there, having a lot of fun.
Right now I'm walking through the park, and I can say, with absolute certainty, It's a park, yep, definitely a park. All jokes aside, it was definitely a beautiful park, even saw the fountain area too.
Oh and I also saw Kuoh academy from a distance. I realized this morning that apparently I transferred here? But anyway, Today is sunday, meaning tomorrow I have to attend school, again...
I'm pretty much done sightseeing. I have no intentions of checking the school out just yet, nor do I feel like checking the abandoned church, that felt like a death sentence just waiting for me.
So I decided to just rest for the day. I opened the system desktop as I have come to call it, and opened the music app, and started playing All star cuz I could. 'Banger of a song'
