As the blinding light faded, Talos Ezekiel Voss blinked in confusion. He found himself in a white, vibrant nothingness that felt both familiar and foreign. The last thing he remembered was his name, everything else was vivid and uncertain. There was no self knowledge no matter how much he attempted to recall or remember.
"Welcome to your new life, Host," a red and black screen appeared in his mind. He got confused and tried interacting with it. "I am your System, designed to assist you in navigating throughout your new journey."
"System? What do you mean?" Talos asked, feeling a mix of excitement and apprehension. Yet there was an uneasiness in his soul.
"I've a few questions." He stated, in his mind, inquiry about his past, where he is, what he is and hundreds of similar were spawning. "Host current level is too low to retrieve basic information."
"Host is required to level up and later request for information."
"Give me something if you want something from me."
"..."
"...."
"....Ok, Host had died by an event which was not supposed to happen and now given another chance to live but in exchange for working in contract with higher beings hence the system is there to provide help."
'So… that complicates things….' "What do you know about the world ? My last question for now."
"The world you are now in is governed by rules and quests that can grant you power and abilities beyond your wildest dreams. I will provide you with missions to complete, rewards for your achievements, and guidance along the way," the System explained in simple words, its tone reassuring.
"So, I'm like a character in a game? What's my goal?" Talos pondered, already imagining the possibilities as he had some basic and diverse information but nothing connected to him.
"Your primary objective is to gather experience and level up, but there's more at stake. You must navigate the intricate politics of this universe, form alliances, and uncover the mysteries surrounding your existence here. You have been chosen for a noble purpose, Host," the System replied cryptically.
Talos felt a rush of adrenaline. It was strange why he felt like that, it was as if his body and soul, yearning for adventure and significance. "What are my first steps?" he asked while zoning out, busy thinking does his body and soul still have fragments of memory?
"First, you must establish your identity. You are now Talos Ezekiel Voss , a young boy with untapped potential. Your journey begins in the world of Macragge, where opportunities for growth await. Prepare yourself, Host," the System encouraged.
With newfound life, Talos took a deep breath, ready to embrace this extraordinary adventure and discover the truth.

First person
The sterile air of the birthing chamber was thick with tension, the low hum of machinery punctuating the frantic whispers of medical staff. I emerged into the world on the planet of Macragge, a world steeped in history and conflict.
My birth was marked by a sense of urgency, as if the cosmos had conspired to bring forth a new player in the grand game of fate.
My parents, no simple citizens, are in the position of king advisor caught in the tide of turmoil that swept across the planet aka coup, and were unaware of the significance of their child. I was Talos Ezekiel Voss, born into a universe teetering on the brink of chaos.
The first breath I took filled my lungs with the scent of antiseptic, but it was the warmth of life that enveloped me, igniting a spark within my soul. As I gazed into the eyes of my mother, I felt an inexplicable connection to the world around me. The flickering lights above cast shadows that danced like specters, and I sensed that I was destined for something beyond the ordinary. Little did I know, my journey was just beginning.
Time Skip: Two Years Later
The world around me began to take shape with each passing day. I grew from the helpless infant cradled in my mother's arms into a curious toddler, exploring the vibrant streets of Macragge.
Unlike other toddlers, my progression was fast. Not only could I fluently talk, walk, read and write but I could grasp concepts of knowledge like biology, science, mathematics etc beyond my age making my parents even people above our hierarchy envious.
Each corner of my neighborhood held small wonders—children playing games, vendors shouting their wares, and the distant sound of machinery humming in the background. Yet, even in this seemingly idyllic setting, shadows loomed large over my existence.
At the age of two, the first stirrings of my true potential began to awaken. It started subtly—a whisper in my mind, a feeling that coursed through my veins. I couldn't articulate it yet, but it felt as if something deep within me was stirring, yearning to break free. I often spent hours gazing at the stars, feeling a pull toward them, as if they held secrets meant only for me.
However all these wonderful things so far happen just because I've a cheat system which supernaturally boost my growth worth of years in months. Every day passed I earn SP (surviving points) which I right now can redeem in 2 ways: first pour them into the Main attribute which is 100SP = 1 point, second shop where I can buy asset like inventory, books, potions, meds, technology etc as for summon that's off the bat as its locked.
'Status' I commanded as a blue screen appeared which was only visible to me.

"That's a lot of functions and perks but much of it is locked till a foreseeable period." I said to myself in my empty room as both my parents are busy with the royal aristocrat palace leaving me alone as I'm responsible and competent enough to live alone.
"I should heat up the food and scroll through the shop and put a useful item in my favorite list to buy later." Nothing much to do at home alone I formed a plan for the rest of the night and engaged in reading some books related to economy, technology and governance.
"No one can cook better than my mother in this whole damn world!" Words of appreciation left my mouth as soon as I put a spoon full of rice along with thick spicy stew. All the flavors began to explode as I enjoyed eating it.
Six months later.
Third person
"Is this the volume son?" Talos' mother inquired out of curiosity. Few months ago young Talos suddenly developed a keen interest in the field of warfare, farming, technology, governance and economy.
And has already written 6 books each related to governance and economy which in the country has been on hot sales by rich as well as poor because it has all the flaws and reality checks on the current condition of society.
"Son, I'm very proud of you!" Dad told Talos as he pulled him into a tight embrace and lifted him up in the air out of sheer joy.
