*Eryk's POV*

  After pung the wall and the floor, my hands hurt a lot. I decided to lie on the cell floor, staring at the crete ceiling.

  "Isn't this the situation where God is supposed to show up and help me? I didn't do it with bad iions! I was just angry!"

  I closed my eyes to try to sleep. Maybe when I wake up, none of this will have happened.

  But as soon as I closed my eyes, an intense light hit my face, f me to cover my eyes with my hand. Even with my eyes closed, the light still hurt me!

  "What the hell is this!?" I excimed in surprise.

  Then, I opened my eyes.

  "Where the hell am I?"

  Before, I was in a cell, but now I was in a strange room.

  A pletely dark room. I could only see a translut window floating a few meters ahead. I started to read what was written on it.

  The window looked like the ones I'd seen in Korean manhwas.

  It was a blue s with white text.

  [ You have been given a new ce! ]

  [ Do you wish to accept the "Legendary Bcksmith System"? ]

  When I read those words, my heart started to race.

  "Is this really happening? Isn't this a dream? Am I not still asleep in that filthy cell, dreaming all this?"

  Ouch!

  I started ping my arm and even pung myself, but I didn't wake up.

  The translut blue s was still there, floating in front of me.

  "What do you mean by 'Legendary Bcksmith System'? Does this have something to do with that game?"

  I remembered the game I had pyed for years of my life.

  [ New World ]

  It en-wame that was incredibly detailed despite its dated graphics.

  I alyed as a [Bcksmith] aually became a legendary bcksmith in the game. Could this have something to do with the game? Don't tell me this is one of those clichés about being transported into a game world.

  If that's the case, I'm screwed!

  If I go to that dangerous world as a bcksmith, I'll die in an hour!

  "But if I don't accept, I'll spend my entire life locked up in prison. Damn it."

  But thinking about it, isn't this the dream of many people? Many dream of going to a game or anime world.

  Despite not having a family or anything I'm attached to, I never dreamed of anything like that.

  I was never one of those guys obsessed with anime tent to the point of wanting to bee one of those protagonists who are transported to a fantasy world and surrounded by women.

  But even so, wouldn't this be iing?

  Since I don't have another choice, I guess I should go for it.

  "Yes, I want to accept the system."

  Then, many windows like the previous one appeared in front of me!

  [ gratutions on being the Legendary Bcksmith! ]

  [ Thanks to the bonus from sacrifig a soul, you've received a unique skill! ]

  [ The skill "Accelerated Growth" has been added to your Status. ]

  [ Check your Status ]

  "How the hell do I do that? Do I just say Status?"

  Name: Eryk Martin

  F Skills - Rank I

  [ Avaible Skills ]

  Accelerated Growth: Increases the user's growth efficy.

  Basic F: Allows simple ons and armor creation using aterials.

  "Is that it? I 't check my strength ility? 't I get stronger or anything?"

  The system didn't respond, but it looks like I 't bee stronger. Isn't this crap? I thought I'd get a detailed status at least, but I only have a f rank and basic skills.

  Damn it! Stupid system!

  "But that's iing. I got that skill after sacrifig a soul. Was it the soul of that guy named Igor that I killed? I gain more skills?"

  [ Please offer a new sacrifice. ]

  "Oh, I actually do that? Then how about sacrifig random famous people I don't care about?"

  [ You only sacrifice people you know personally. ]

  "Hmm… Iing. How about this?"

  I started naming several people.

  My boss, coworkers, some guys I fought with, and finally, my ex-girlfriend.

  [ You sacrificed a total of 11 souls. ]

  [ You sacrificed many souls, and you've received a great opportunity! ]

  [ Please choose the world you wish to go to! ]

  "What? I choose the world because of the number of souls I sacrificed? I thought I'd just gain new skills."

  [ You choose skills if you don't wish to piother world. Make your choice! ]

  I don't want to go to the world of "New World."

  But... what world should I choose? I should pick the world I most want to knht? And also one where I finally find a woman who isn't a total whore.

  A world that is not as dangerous as the "New World" and full of beautiful women.

  And a world where bcksmiths are valued.

  "What about the world of Danmachi?" I don't know much about the story. I know it has gods and a dungeon. I think even without knowing much, I could survive there.

  Right?

  "The world of Danmachi is good. you do that, God?" I asked, imagining it was God making all of this happen.

  And to my joy...

  [ The world of Danmachi has beeed. ]

  [ The system is calg the value of all the souls you sacrificed. ]

  [ Attention! The souls are not worth as much as expected, so the user ot choose their starting location or his life story in the world of Danmachi! ]

  [ The user will receive a random "Background." ]

  [ gratutions, you've received a "Legendary Background"! ]

  [ Enjoy your new life! ]

  Without uanding what the system was saying, I fainted.
