Chapter 9: The Fantasia realm opens

Lumen had done everything the system had asked him to in order to prepare for the opening of the Fantasia realm. It would be safe to say that he is the most prepared person on Earth for the arrival of the Fantasia realm, as not only could he qualify as one of the strongest people on Earth, not including those with mysterious super powers.

He sat down in his lab on his own private military base, waiting for the moment the realm opened.

Every so often he would check the countdown on the system, anticipating what would happen and what he would see when the realm opened.

[000:59:59]

With less than an hour left before the realm opened, Lumen suddenly realised that he had a brain fart moment. He hadn't even checked all of the facilities the system had provided to him on his status screen yet!

He looked at the bottom of his status only to realise he had completely forgotten about the two options that stood out at the bottom of his status.

[Inventory]

[System Store]

These two had been completely forgotten by him and he felt ashamed for it.

Never in his endless life did he think he would be susceptible to such easily avoided scenarios, but with the sudden loss of the majority of his advanced knowledge as well as his access to everything digital as a digital life form, he was only like every other average person. Only a little smarter than the majority of the population.

He still hadn't gotten used to his new mental state and so it seemed he would have to be more cautious about that in the future, especially in the Fantasia realm.

Not wanting to lose any opportunities due to his ignorance, he decided to check the details of the two options in order to see what they provided him.

[Inventory: The host has their own personal spatial storage that nobody but you can access, with additional properties such as the absence of time, allowing the user to preserve materials in there that would wither with the passage of time. The host is provided with 100 units of space as a starting point from the system. More units can be purchased from the system store using your credits.]

The explanation for the inventory seemed relatively straightforward and seemed like it would be very useful for Lumen to prepare many things he would need in advance by storing them in the system.

He went around his lab and base as quickly as he could and grabbed everything that seemed like it would be useful in a survival scenario, as the environment of the Fantasia realm was currently unknown to him so he would like to be as best prepared as he could.

[000:32:01]

After he gathered everything he deemed useful, he had filled up half of his inventory, leaving him with 50 units remaining.

He also found out that duplicate items would be stored within the same unit as a stack which was quite convenient; he was left with more remaining slots as a result of this. This just reminded him once again of RPG games, as inventory systems in those games worked very similarly to this.

Once he was done with the inventory, he moved onto the system store to check the details of.

[System Store: The host can purchase many useful goods from the system using their credits. Make good use of your credits as the host can gain many good starting advantages in the Fantasia realm if used correctly.]

This explanation was less detailed however the system store seemed more straightforward than the inventory.

Without further deliberation Lumen opened the system store like the system recommended him to, and the list was short but the items he could purchase was very interesting.

[System Store:

1. Basic Health potion - Restores HP upon consumption: 100 credits

2. Basic Mana potion - Restores MP upon consumption: 100 credits

3. Inventory Unit(s) - Grants an extra unit of inventory space: 500 credits

4. Basic survival tent - Allows the user a warm and dry place to sleep at night, +10% to mana and health regeneration when sleeping in tent: 500 credits

5. Food rations - Provides a months worth of food and water: 300 credits]

Everything in this list of items seemed very useful for Lumen and only solidified his idea that he would be thrown into a survival scenario when the fantasia realm opens.

Lumen only had 1300 credits at that time, and so his first purchase was the food rations, leaving him with 1000 credits left, and an extra 2 units in his inventory space filled in. Presumable 1 unit was for water, another unit for food.

With the remaining 1000 credits he had to deliberate on what would be the best distribution of credits, he was obviously going to buy the basic survival tent, leaving him with only 500 credits left.

In the end, he decided on buying 3 basic health potions and 2 basic mana potions, taking his total credits to 0.

Feeling satisfied with himself now, he felt completely prepared for the fantasia realm to open and didn't have any worries except for the fact that he didn't know what sort of environment he would be thrown into.

[000:00:59]

Very soon there was only less than a minute until the fantasia realm opened, leaving Lumen anticipated and the rest of the planet anxious on what this turn of events would lead to for their planet.

[The Fantasia Realm will now open.]

[Welcome to the tutorial]

As soon as those system messages appeared on Lumen's system screen, he felt as if he blinked his eyes and then suddenly he found himself somewhere entirely different. There was no prompt other than the system message, no feeling of being thrown through time and space like he had experienced before in his old universe. He just felt like he..... moved.
