With the light temporarily blinding me my body felt as if it was lifted off of the ground and I ascended into the air while being blind. After a while, the feeling of being lifted was gone as but it was as if I was spirited away. I still can't see anything but instead of the blinding light its complete darkness. My body starts to feel different as I continue to stare out into the vast darkness. I can't see anything I can feel my body changing slowly, almost like I was being reconstructed by the void. An endless amount of time passed as my body slowly changed into something that I couldn't confirm, I'm not too scared at what I may change into as long as I can live my life.
After an unknown amount of time, the blinding light came back and lifted me again until eventually I was put on the ground again and I slowly open my eyes to see complete darkness once again. I try saying something as I feel like I have control over my body one again.
"Did this bitch really kill me? Am I really dead?"
[System has configured recommended auto-start]
[System has successfully restarted]
[Congratulations for being chosen to host the one and only "Cheat System"]
"What? What was that? Where are you, where are we, am I dead?" I say frantically while looking around for the source of the new robotic voice only to find the darkness of the surroundings. No matter how hard I looked I can't find anything.
[Host has been chosen to be the main character in a world that needs your help]
"Do I have a choice?" I ask while trying to grasp where I am.
[You don't have a choice]
So you're basically forcing me huh
"Is there some kind of starter pack at least?"
[Quest Function has been Unlocked]
As the system notification echoes throughout my mind, a window appears in front of me describing the quest.
[Quest: Create your Character
Rewards: Starter Pack (x1)
Possible Additional Rewards: ???]
"Why did that just come out?" I ask suspiciously of the system.
[Think about Creating a Character]
"So you weren't planning on giving me a starter pack huh." I say to the system as I think about what kind of character I should create this time. In 'Swords and Magic' you could customize your character but you couldn't change the face so I liked to make characters often.
[Create Your Character. Failure to do so will result in your character and hidden stats being randomized]
"Character Creation"
[Finished?]
[Yes/No]
"Yes"
[Finished Quest "Create Your Character" Rewards: Starter Pack, Title "Main Character"]
[Loading... Choosing a random area to spawn]
As the system begins choosing where to spawn me a window shows up in front of me and starts rolling with different names. The names all represent different places I guess but as the system continues to roll through the options at an insane speed that I can't really keep up with I catch a glimpse of something for a split second.
'Realm of Light? What's that?' I think to myself barely recognizing the words as they rapidly change and eventually stop at the words Captial of Light.
[Capital of Light has been chosen]
[Please keep in mind that you will be spawned in a forest near the capital to avoid causing a scene or getting the attention of unwanted people]
[As soon as you spawn into the world you can check your status just like the games you played]
With the system sending those notifications the blinding light from earlier comes back and I get engulfed in the light as my vision gets blocked and I feel as if I was falling.
Upon feeling that I'm falling I open up my eyes to take in the scenery of the new world that I will be living in. The forest is pretty wide but I can see the Capital of Light in the distance, it'll probably take a couple of days of walking to get to it though.
'Wait, why did you spawn me high in the air?' I think complaining about the system.
Although nothing responded to me I can feel the imminent death that is coming closer to me as I get closer to the ground and fall through the trees. After falling for what seemed like a while I close my eyes as I'm about to fall but the impact I was expecting didn't happen, instead I feel wet sliminess under me as I get a notification from the system.
[You have killed a Level 5 Slime and have gained 350 Experience]
[You have reached Level 3]
Upon hearing the notification from the system I try to open my status just like the 'Swords and Magic' game.
'Status Open'
Name: Bell(17)
Race:
Titles: Main Character
Job: Cheater
Level: 3
Strength: 13
Endurance: 13
Agility: 13
Intelligence: 13
Wisdom: 13
'So I gain 1 stat point to every stat for every level up.' I say to myself as I remember the starter pack.
"Can I open the starter pack?" I say to the system.
[Do you wish to open the starter pack? Y/N]
"Yes"
[You have chosen to open the starter pack]
[Opening.....(50%)...(100%)... Displaying contents]
You have obtained Basic Sword (x1), Random Food Ticket (x10) Random Cheat Ticket (x1)
"System, what are the tickets supposed to be used for? Can I use them right now?" I ask the system as I go over the contents of my starter pack.
[Tickets are used to give you certain items or skills, the tickets that you received are Random Cheat Ticket which will give you a random cheat upon use and the other Random Food Tickets will give you random edible food]
"Okay, and the basic sword?"
[The basic sword is just a common item that is mass-produced. Its an iron sword with decent durability]
