Chapter 5 - Chapter 5 - Status open!

Nathan dove into the new information he received from the box and realized he was in a world similar to his dad's game. There are multiple species, people with different abilities, and dangerous ancient ruins, all promising great rewards.

"Wait what's a "Talent System", the box only mentioned it."

"Say 'Status Open'" Nail sounded bored.

"Status open"

A screen filled Nathan's vision, and he stumbled back in shock at what he saw.

Nail looked at Nathan, confused.

"Interesting"

Nathan is still in shock at what's happening.

"What's interesting? This whole place is interesting!"

Nail looked at Nathan in wonder.

"In this world, one is assigned 'Talent', which is usually a number between one and one hundred. Some special individuals go over that limit; for that to happen, they have to meet certain conditions. Once in a purple moon, there will be a person with no talent. Talent determines an individual's growth. Having no talent doesn't mean you can't grow; it just means it'll be extremely difficult compared to someone with talent. You thought your talent was a mystery. Everyone can open the status menu and see their talent; never once has someone opened their menu and not known their talent."

Nathan sat there confused, a million thoughts racing through his head. Does this mean he has no talent? Is he already doomed? No, he is Nathan Relix. One of the most powerful men on earth was his father; there is no way he has no talent.

"Don't worry, Nathan, this world has a pretty common artifact that can test someone's talent. Royals use it to test their kin to see if they are worthy of the family name. Most villages also have one. Maybe that can show you your talent. You have to find one."

Nathan beamed at the chance. He would know if he's worth something in this world.

"Okay, so just teleport me near a village."

"I can't."

"What do you mean you can't?! You can bring me from my world from the brink of death and transport me into this world, but you can't teleport me a few hundred miles?!"

Nail just laughed, finding Nathan's frustration amusing.

"I've already exhausted my authority on this world. Just giving you that box and being in front of you now is draining me. You will have to find your own way. Just start walking, you'll find something."

With a smile, Nail started walking away and disappeared, leaving Nathan alone in the clearing again and with no direction on where to go. Nathan started walking away from the head of the bed, assuming it was north.
