Chapter 2: Adjusting to the New World
Shido emerged from his room, his steps slow and measured as his mind raced with thoughts. The faint light of the morning sun filtered through the hallway window, casting a soft glow over his surroundings.
While the modest home was familiar, the layers of new experiences left Shido feeling both comforted and distanced.
The presence of the System, now intertwined with his existence, added a surreal edge to the mundane act of stepping into his day.
Shido mentally reviewed what he had learned so far.
The System was seamlessly integrated into his body, responding to his thoughts and commands. It showed panels for Status, Inventory, Skills, and Quests, along with features like a Starter Pack that granted him randomized rewards.
The Interdimensional Traveler ability held the potential of visiting other worlds in the future, an opportunity that thrilled and stunned him equally. For now, though, it felt like a distant goal.
His Status Panel, which he could summon at will, displayed key details about his abilities:
Name: Itsuka Shido
Level: 1
Race: Human (Sealed)
Class: None
