"Hum..."
"Am I... not dead?"
Reiji thought in confusion, placing his hands on his head to regain some of his consciousness.
He slowly opened his eyes, as the strong rays of the sun hit his face. Lifting his head to look around, he found himself in a bright, greenish environment.
"What the hell...?"
A cold breeze hit his body, making him shiver. As his senses began to return, he suddenly questioned himself.
"Where the hell am I?"
...
? ? ?
After a few minutes of unease and anxiety, the student stood up, feeling the environment around him grow darker. As he began to feel dizzy, he lowered his head and held it tightly with his hands.
Soon after, flashbacks of his memory appeared in a rapid succession. The strange pain and the memories of the moment of his death returned.
"So... I really died... What the hell is this place?"
Surprise and disbelief flooded his mind as thoughts tried to deal with the whirlwind of feelings and conflicting information caused by his memories.
In that moment of confusion, Reiji heard something, or someone, within his thoughts. Though difficult to hear and even harder to understand, the voice was commanding.
<Zet>
<Welcome to Arcadia, mortal! Nice to meet you. I am Zet. I am an entity that resides in the celestial realm.>
Hearing the voice resonate in his head, Reiji tripped over a tree root next to him, falling down onto the ground.
A few seconds later, he thought in surprise, not believing this nonsense.
"Am I... dreaming?"
"What the hell is that weird voice?"
<Zet>
<Listen carefully! Upon your death, due to some error, which other unknown entities and I are unaware of, you somehow ended up in our world.>
"..."
After realizing he wasn''t going crazy, Reiji stood up and leaned on a nearby tree. Now with a clearer mind, he reached a conclusion.
"So this isn''t a dream."
— Sorry, entity, but I already have Jesus.
<...>
— So, what''s the deal? Why are you telling me all this, ''entity''? — Still consumed by fear and doubt internally, he asked curiously, though it didn''t show.
<Don''t worry, I came just out of curiosity.>
<Upon encountering your situation, I decided to assist you with some basic information about this world.>
<In contrast to your peaceful world, Arcadia is a brutal land where constant war prevails. Where kingdoms fight for territories and expand through greed...>
<It''s a deplorable sight... A true disorder.>
<Ether essence is present in the very atmosphere. The element necessary for the use of magic and other related skills. Magic is a concept where you can manipulate or subdue elements to create abilities. The higher your magical status... The greater the impact of your abilities.>
— Hm... — Crossing his arms, he thought about everything he had just heard.
— So, in other words... I''m in another world, right?
<In this world, there is a system that classifies the status of all individuals. You can access it by thinking the word ''Status''.>
After thinking of the word, a blue window appeared in front of him, visible only to him, showing his personal information.

"Hm..."
"It really looks like an RPG game, just like the ones I used to play back in my world..."
"I can see my stats by thinking about ''Status.'' Very practical."
"Mp and magical affinity are at ridiculous levels... They must be attributes related to magic. ''Omega''? What the hell is that, and why is it under gender?"
— Hey, Entity, what''s this ''Primary Gender'' and these skills? — Frowning, the question came out naturally as he looked at the stats.
<In this world, all beings have their own biological structure. There are three types of genders: Alpha, Beta, and Omega.>
<Alphas excel in physical and intellectual fields.>
<Omegas have a weaker physical structure, but because of their biological makeup, men can also become pregnant.>
<Betas have no changes in biological structure.>
<About 80% of the population are Betas, 17% are Alphas, and Omegas make up only 3%. One of the main reasons for the wars is the shortage of Omegas to satisfy the total number of Alphas.>
<As for the skills, some are related to your race, known as racial abilities.>
<On the other hand, there are unique skills, which are abilities that are particular to an individual, and only that person can have and use them. They are acquired through a specific process or are inherent from birth.>
? ? ?
"Thanks to Zet, I managed to gather the essential information about this world... Wait, so I can get pregnant? What kind of craziness is that!? I''ll ignore that for now, I need to focus on surviving."
With his heart racing and great anxiety, he thought about Zet''s responses, and when he looked up at the sky, he noticed the presence of two suns.
"Damn... What is that?"
<With this, I believe most of your questions have been answered. I will take my leave. I hope you manage to get by, transmigrant.>
— Wait! — Hearing the entity''s farewell, he shouted eagerly.
— Before you go, can you tell me where I am?
<You are in the continent of Erderon. If you head forward for 12 km, you''ll find a city. With all this information, you owe me a favor, which I will collect in the future. Until then, farewell, mortal.>
A beam of light, accelerating in a spherical form, moved away from Reiji, almost imperceptibly.
"What was that?"
He thought in surprise, feeling the presence of something moving away.
"Even though Zet helped me a lot, he was such an opportunist... Damn! I owe a favor to an entity I don''t know, in a world that''s also unknown... Damn."
