Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Isaac makes the choice of being in another world and be intact physically. Selene also gave him the option to ask physical enhancement. Blindly, Isaac chose abilities that would compensate for his inadequacies during his life on Earth. He felt something was off with the free giving of abilities. So, he asks Selene, what is the catch? She told him that in order to gain those abilities he must face off with her trusted friend. When that silhouette of being entered the space, every nerve in the body of Isaac froze and his body was so heavy that gravity in the place just shifted to maximum. He was already bowing his head and only focusing of staying upright for the longest time he could. In a flash that beings shadow came close to him and whispered - "your effort is not enough" and strike Isaac's neck with his hand like chopping a block. Isaac immediately fainted with that intense presence and powerful strike because he was still very weak.

Selene then asks her trusted friend to train and accompany Isaac because he has much to learn in ways of the world where he is going to live. Selene said that she has a good place in mind to start their journey. Isaac woke up on the ground and feeling the neck pain from that strike bestowed by the friend of Selene. He then took a look around and the place was like a cave underground. Suddenly, a digital screen pops in front of him and displays status like a what you see in games. It says he was at level one and a button for storage was flashing so he checked it out. It contained only a fork but his memory storage is seventy percent (70%) full. Noticing the utensil, his stomach growl grabbed his attention. Isaac went out the cave, he was not outside but in some kind of tunnel. He wondered looking for an exit but to no avail. It was dim lit with the crystals on the side, but it was still dark in the perspective of Isaac. As he scouted the place he came across small bugs and rats that run away scared as he approached closer to the next section of the area. Isaac was getting more hungrier by the minute. Eventually he found a patch of mushrooms but could not determine if it's edible. He picked them and stored it in his digital storage box. He thought, just in case he gets hungry, he can munch on them even if they are poisonous. At least he can die with a full stomach. Suddenly, his status screen prompted the name of the mushroom and its properties. He was so lucky that it had an appraisal function and now have data that it is edible. Isaac immediately ate a lot of the mushroom to satisfy his hunger. When he was full, he continued wondering around the area and eventually found a well lit area, like the light came from the sun, but once he entered he observed that the light came from a big crystal that shined which gave the feeling of regular daylight. At center of this cave enclosure was a skeleton of a knight kneeling while holding his sword. As if he has found the holy place he was looking for a long time. Surrounding the dead knight were plants with a flower that resembled daisies. He picked one to analyze in his storage and it rendered great results. It showed that the flowering plant can be turned into a potent healing potion. He took a bunch as reserves not even noticing what guards the place.

While Isaac was busy foraging happily. Behind approaching him was a large 6 feet tall figure and it seems it's trying to attack Isaac from behind. Isaac turned back wondering what is shadowing him from behind blocking the light. As he turned, he saw a striking hand so he instinctively dodge the attack. At safe distance, he observed it was a robot, again fast approaching to attack him. Isaac desperate and hurrying to acquire something to defend himself, his storage gave him the fork. He said "Are you kidding me!!!". Time got Isaac and also the robot, clinching and eyes closing to brace for impact. Magically his fork transformed into a ultra rare spear which deflected the attack. To Isaac's wonder, he smiled with joy saying - "Now were talking!". He combatted his foe with the knowledge he gathered from video games and with his tiny shaky courage.

After several parrying, Isaac successfully knocked his opponent. His spear reverted back to a fork. Another status prompt pop in front of him, the large robot can be useful, he just needs memory, fuel, and a key. The key resembled the fork. Isaac tried to tinker with it using the fork and it accepted but it just worked for a bit. The prompt said it needed fuel which resembles the crystals on the sides which also provided light. Isaac gathered small crystals that were easily detached to the cave walls. The thing accepted the crystals and parts of its illuminating body streaks glowed green. The prompt lastly asked for memory. Isaac could not think of but his internal memory storage. He thought if he transfers twenty five percent (25%) of it. This will free some space from his storage. So, he began doing such and luckily it accepted the memory without any hesitations.

The robot floated and shined and somewhat reconfiguring itself. It was noticeable also that it exteriors are transforming to a less aggressive external features but retaining it's big man built. The thing is transforming like armored knight built as a tank. Isaac was at awe because it looked so amazingly cool. His eyes were glistening like stars watching everything unfold. The first thing Isaac did was stare at it from head to foot for a very long time. After thirty (30) minutes, he inspected it like a circling crow admiring his shiny found object. Isaac was facing it when it opened its eyes and said. Hello!
