I could smell the earth. Birds were chirping all around me. The fresh, crystal-clear air I had just been lacking filled my lungs. And I feel much stronger than usual. Energy is bursting in my body.
All of this confirmed that I had arrived in another world. My head was throbbing with pain, traveling between two worlds clearly wasn't easy. But the nature here was unbelievably beautiful. I looked around in awe. Then, in the distance, a window suddenly appeared.
[Reversed Level-Up System Activated]
A system where you go downward instead of upward. Meaning the more time passes, the weaker I become, not stronger. That doesn't sound good at all. For now, I am the strongest being in this world. But this power isn't permanent. As long as I don't do anything, my level won't decrease. But doing nothing would be way too boring. Damn it, this is trickier than I thought.
A new window appeared while I was thinking. On it were four buttons.
[Status] [Inventory] [Skills] [Relationship]
I was really surprised. It felt like I had entered a game world. The window looked like a hologram, but when I touched it, it was as hard as metal. I first clicked on the Status window. Then another window appeared beside it.
[Name: Unknown]
[Age: 25]
[Level: 10000 LVL]
[Strength: 1000]
[Vitality: 1000]
[Agility: 1000]
[Intelligence: 100]
[HP: 100]
[MP: 1000000]
[Rank: SSSSS]
Oh my god. Such perfect stats are rare even in games. But why is Intelligence so much lower than the others? Honestly, I don't feel any smarter. Maybe the blessing doesn't affect everything. If so, that's a relief. But why is my name blank? Did the Goddess forget to give me one? I definitely don't want people calling me Unknown.
[Please enter your name.]
Oh, good lord. This should be fine. But what is my name? Oh crap, the Goddess just told me. Did I forget right after arriving? Actually, I didn't have a fixed name in my past life. I used many fake names. My friends and partners even called me by different fake names every day. But my real name?
What is it? Can a person forget their own name? Lion? No, that's not it. It ended with an N. Shine? No. Bryan? Close. Cyan? No, my parents don't name their kids after colors. There is an actor with the same name as me. He's standing in front of that purple girl. Oh right, Ryan. That's it, Ryan. Damn, I'm such an idiot.
That's literally me.
I typed Ryan as my name and then went into the inventory. But it was empty. Looks like I arrived in this world completely empty-handed. That was a little discouraging.
Next, I tapped on the Skills window. With such a high level, I was sure I had a lot of skills. But the reality was not just "a lot." It was an unbelievable amount. The moment the window opened, countless additional windows appeared all around me at once.
[Fire Manipulation, Water Manipulation, Earth Manipulation, Wind Manipulation, Lightning Manipulation, Ice Manipulation, Light Manipulation, Darkness Manipulation, Shadow Manipulation, Healing, Telekinesis, Telepathy, Invisibility, Super Strength, Super Speed, Enhanced Agility, Enhanced Reflexes, Enhanced Durability, Flight, Barrier Creation, Energy Projection, Energy Absorption, Energy Shield, Gravity Manipulation, Time Manipulation, Space Manipulation, Teleportation, Regeneration, Precognition, Mind Control, Illusion Magic, Summoning, Shape-shifting, Animal Transformation, Astral Projection, Spirit Communication, Necromancy, Blood Magic, Curse Magic, Dream Manipulation, Plant Manipulation, Poison Manipulation, Sound Manipulation, Magnetism, Weather Control, Reality Warping, Probability Manipulation, Clone Creation, Size Alteration, Elemental Fusion, Magic Resistance, Curse Resistance, Poison Resistance, Fire Resistance, Water Breathing, Sonic Speed, Enhanced Senses, Energy Drain, Life Force Manipulation, Divine Power, Demonic Power.....]
Oh god, I might die before I even get to use half of these skills. Windows kept popping up all around me, and I had no idea what to do. I started closing them one by one from the beginning. Some of the skills, I did not even understand how to use or what effects they had. But I would probably get used to them over time.
When I finally closed everything, I took a deep breath. I was not opening that window again.
After that, the Relationship window caught my attention. Maybe the goddess had already prepared a future wife for me. I tapped it, but there was nothing inside. Only four categories.
The first was Wife or Lover. Well, that made sense. The second was Partner. In my past life, the word partner never had a good meaning for me, so I skipped it. The third was Servant or Retainer. Those could be very useful people. I would keep that in mind. And the last one was Slave. Slaves exist in this world? That was a serious problem. If slaves exist, then it means I could become a slave too. Maybe not now, but if my strength weakens over time, I would not be able to do anything about it.
So I needed a plan if I wanted to survive in this world. I had three goals.
First, do good deeds. With this much power, I cannot use it for evil. I do not want to become garbage like in my previous life. I want to understand what it feels like to be a good person.
Second, gain power that does not depend on my level. This blessing might not influence everything. My body feels stronger, but mentally and emotionally I feel the same. So maybe there is power in this world that exists beyond blessings and curses.
And lastly, the most important one, surround myself with powerful people. Loyal, strong allies would be incredibly valuable. Even if they are weak now, I can make them strong. Or I can simply surround myself with powerful women and build a harem. Yes, a harem, filled with strong and beautiful women. I am a damn genius. I love this world already. Starting right now, I will build a harem. I LOVE WOMEN!!.
"Aaah"
Suddenly, a woman screamed from somewhere. I looked forward in surprise and saw a young woman sitting on the ground, covering her eyes. Her face was bright red, and she could not look directly at me.
"Please, your clo… clothes."
Clothes? What about my clothes? I looked down.
Oh hell no. I had been naked this whole time. I was so distracted that I did not notice. Which means this girl saw me standing here naked shouting, "I love women."
Her embarrassed face and her body were honestly really sexy. Please, my man down there, do not get hard.
