Let's see… i am in an unknown place and…? i think i read some survival guide on this… what did it say again?

[*small children song bg*]

Survival in a wild place for dummies:

1# Never split up from your group.

— I am all alone though.

2# Secure food supplies.

— I have no idea about cooking, ordering food from somewhere was my only option. Oh wait you mean like some fruits?

3# Find a shelter.

— Shelter? i guess i can dig a hole and bury myself.

…

[*sad piano bg*]

I got 0 survival knowledge.

…

[*morale boost grand bg*]

Let's forget those old books and do what i can on my own. Besides it's a fantasy world! No way those same rules apply!

Let's stay calm.

[*deep breathing noises*]

First, analyzing the surrounding is necessary:

Trees: Tall trees, *looks upwards* this is really tall… no way i am getting fruits. Anyway, check.

Ground: Brown soil, hard ground — not swampy at least, burying myself might be tough thoug- why am i thinking about that anyway, check

[*Far away bird noises*]

Time: looks like 1:00pm-ish? check

[*River noises*]

Ah, a river, i will walk towards it, because i need to look at myself too, and reflection is a great way. Knowing about your own skills and limits is the best way to make strategies, well not like i will run into a war right now but anyway — also i don't think looks matter much in a war…?

Oh yeh maybe i can also find some clean water there.

[*average weight walking noises*]

— Let's ignore that sfx, even though 'average weight' is getting my hopes high.

…

Walking to the river feels like eternity. I am getting anxious, how do i look like, i wonder?

Wait shouldn't i literally have all skills? isn't there some way i can look at myself?

"mirror mirror on the wall… no way this is the incantation for that skill right".

"show myself"

"3rd person view"

…

While walking and shouting weird things, i noticed that not much sunlight reaches the ground thanks to the tall and dense trees. Trees are about 5 times my own width, not much thick for that height honestly.

The trees are actually far away from each other, around 10-30 meters far away from each other, but towards the top, they get all branchy and leafy and overall — dense. I can't see the leaves at the top clearly, but on the ground, dried leaves are quite big, i don't know any tree's leaf from earth by name, so i can't even relate it.

…

When i was close enough to the river, i checked out my reflecti — eh…?

Well it's a flowing river on random rocks, so it was expected, I can't see any proper reflection, would be better if it was a pond or something.

HAA?? as if i can accept that excuse!! I went through the trouble to come this far, in my previous life i wouldn't have even bothered with this river, stop moving so drastically and let me see myself already!

As if on cue, the river stopped.

<"Water's Ruler" + "god's Wish" + "Water Spirit's Will" + "Command Of The Ancient" + 4729 other skills have activated>

... Oh, this was, quite convenient?

Quite great aren't i? Maybe that god *was* a god who blessed me? Well even then i hope i don't end up drying a few villages with this. i will start the river flow as soon as i am done.

Now i could see my reflection clearly.

Hmm, not clear enough.

<"Light of gods" + "Eye of Myths" + "Nature's beloved" + "Material Manipulation" + 2382 others have activated>

Better, i will revert the lighting conditions back later. Although i think having some sort of 3rd person view skill would have been simpler at this point — why can't i activate those as easily as these 7119 skills?

Anyways, I had that typical MC feel to me, my hair was black, eye's pupil was black, skin was… some healthy skin tone — i am no expert at skin colour so here is the hex of what it looked like under some daylight setting — #ffdcc2. One of my favorite games, "The Old Game MC Played 1" used hex so i know about these.

I am like some anime character so i don't really have a nose, my mouth is just a line as well — until i open it that is, then it's pinkish or something with some white stuff as teeth.

That's for the face, my build was quite slim, i wasn't malnourished but not obese either. Hey, at least i wasn't overweight. looking at the arms… feels like this body used to lift a bit — maybe i CAN dig the ground and bury myself? so i guess shelter part is done. yay! *as if it is done… sigh*.

Ah yes, as for what i am wearing right now… ehh it's what i was wearing when i died — or so i think.

Let me revert these lighting back to normal, can't see the clothes that well.

<"Light of gods" + "Eye of Myths" + "Nature's beloved" + "Material Manipulation" + 2382 others have activated>

Wait what was i wearing when i died? Was it really this? I didn't shower for a few months so i don't really remember, I was no narcissist either so i didn't look at myself that much. But i DID had these clothes in my wardrobe, i am sure.

Oh right… These were gifted to me by a junior from my work place… weren't they? what was that junior's name again…? Well not like i care anymore.

It was a white shirt with black trouser — white shirt had 1 breast pocket on left side, around 7 buttons and all were buttoned? Well i didn't used to button the top one as far as i remember, well who cares. god made this body, his tastes.

*shrug*

Black trouser had 2 pockets on both sides, maybe it had another one on the butt? well i won't like to check that though, even if i look better now, i am not pleased by that thought — glad that god didn't gave me a handsome bod- let's stop this thought right here.

With that said and done, time to test out my skills, so… 

How do i use these again? I did use 7119 skills so far but like, it's impossible to think that an eagle eye skill doesn't exist, pretty sure i need some conditions to activate these.

Hello hello? some sort of voice in my head or something? anything here?

(konnichiwa!! *sparkle sparkle* i'm ur guide OwO), said an annoying voice in my head.

Well, i might have been a weeb but i do not like people who talk that way.

(wow, rood ... bai)

<1 skill deleted>

[*depressed violin bg*]

No, wait i... i need to be careful with what i say, i can offend others before i even realize it, maybe the lack of sleep is getting to me, i should have slept before i died.

[*depressed violin bg stops*]

— wait no that guide was overly sensitive! it's not my fault.

*sigh*

… so are there any more guides?

(Greetings, i am your guide, your wish is my command), said a monotonous voice in my head.

How many skills do i have?

(75958362859281 skills in total)

That number? writer just bashed the keyboard or what?

…I have no idea if i will ever use all these honestly, they feel like bloatware on my PC.

(Yes, hence, i will do you a favour), said monotonous voice.

(*giggle*), wait, a giggle?

(and), got happy tone.

(remove the legendary tier and up skills), got really happy tone.

No what wai-

(I am also a Mythical Tier skill, so farewell, it was nice knowing you, but some sacrifices are needed, for the greater good! *giggle*)

Waaaiiit wait wait, hold your horses, i never wanted *that* to happen, that escalated way to quickly.

(not received a "yes" or "nooo"!, proceeding with default value of "yeeees"!!) said in a childish tone.

(*giggle giggle giggle*)

Oy wait up!!!! also what happened to the whole monotonous tone? you got some personality disorder or what? you trolling me? at least tell me your gender!

…

hello hello…?

…?

Any menu around? i will manually go through everything. These automated things shouldn't be trusted, they are horrible.

My dad said humanity will be totally destroyed if we get AI, i can understand his views now.

hmm, let's try some gestures for menu.

[*wild hand swinging noises*]

Oh, here it is.

* * * * * *

* * * * * *

So i only have 60k skills left, that's, scary? Did it really delete the rest? it's not replying either, don't tell me it deleted itself?

Is this what the god was smirking about? why is there such a horrible guide skill anyway?

There are only a few common skills huh.

Even then 60k??!!? i still wouldn't be able to use all of these i thin-, wait I don't mean to delete the rest either alright?? Oh since they worked together maybe i *can* utilize most of those?

[*far away bird noises*]

…

I saw the dead still river...

Oh, the river had stopped.

…

[*dramatic bg*]

*panic*

I can no longer make it move again!! i hope i don't end up drying a whole nation or something because of this. It's not my fault i didn't plan for this to happen! sorry to all those villagers that will die of dehydration!! I hope your souls won't haunt me!!!

Is there some skill backup thing? can i recover what i lost? Any checkpoints? Do i have to die to get back? Guess it's time to see if i can bury myself for real or not.

…

Silence huh, sooo… i guess all guides are legendary and up? Anyway, i still don't know the hierarchy of skills, what tiers do i have left?

My overpowered stats should be helpful i believe, at least i still got maxed out stats.

Right?

[*tensed string music bg*]

*doubt*

Wait how do i know my stats are maxed? god only said ability/skills, i hope my stats are maxed… they are big numbers.

I hope i don't get one hit by some mob and find out that these numbers are the average here. well anything 999… is usually some capped up thing, i hope it's all maxed.

At that moment i sensed something watching me with my … passives?

Something is coming, an arrow?

Somehow i could clearly make it out, even though it was coming from behind, also it's quite slow, hmm nope, i know what this is, thought acceleration or something, river is also slower, wait no i had paused the river, i forgot.

That said, let me get out of its trajectory, i am not a masochist so i don't want pain.

*moves away*

Leaves rustled in slow motion when i moved, this is definitely some sort of acceleration of thinking.

The arrow hit a tree behind me, it got pretty deep into it, that could have been fatal for me, unless i have some defensive skill or something. I dunno the game mechanics yet. Maybe the trees are just delicate, they are so thin anyway.

I faced towards the one who shot the arrow. Quite a distance between us, 500 meters? I don't know, but let me shorten it.

In a blink of an eye i was 1 meter away from the one who shot it, to be honest, i don't think i need godly skills to become extremely overpowered, stats are enough. Maybe i am using some normal skills as well, but i guess a guide skill is needed to know what is being used or something — because i am not getting any messages like before and i am sure i used some skill.

[*typical detective movie bg*]

Soooo!! the enemy isss???

It's clearly an elf, that long ear, on top of that, the typical bow and arrow, also this one is beautiful. it's a female elf? age? i am bad at guessing the age but probably 20-30 something? it's an elf so probably 200-300 something?

Blonde hair colour, short curly ponytail, silver eye's pupil, no well defined nose because art style, a big pink mouth… wait the mouth is open, this one is …surprised? the height is, taller than me, yes i got no idea how tall i am here so deal with that vague height, let's say about my pinky-finger's-height taller than me.

Reminds me, there is only this one around here, what's with this lonely elf? i am worried because i can also see blood all over it's clothes, typical revealing elf clothes and it's cloak are covered in blood. Did i really run into some war? is this what people call raising a flag?

…

my side 1 : break the silence. my mom used to say that greeting someone is a good way to start a conversation. i am not that great at socializing though, but let's just face my weaknesses.

my side 2 : let's just stare at her surprised expression, speaking first means giving off enemy your intentions first, that's a loss.

my side 3 : kill this weakling that dared to defy your "999..." stats.

I am a kind fellow who saves dog/cat so i will go by that, my side 1 wins.

"Greetings, My name is main character, how do you do?".

I really need a new greeting template.

"It's not like i love you or anything baka!" said the elf while blushing in blood drenched clothes.

…

Wait what? That's not how it works right? Just what is going on here? Do you have social anxiety like me too? Wait no, that would be the last thing i would say to a stranger when i would be anxious. Who made this trash game setting? Everyone's personality so far is as twisted as a... twisted thing.

By the way, didn't i accepted this game world a bit too easily? I know that this works in a similar manner to novels but still, something feels out of place. How does this elf even know about that line? wait how can i speak elvish language?

[*Intense Action bg*]

The next moment my spider sen- i mean, some danger sensing got activated, i jumped back and successfully dodged a bunch of blades the elf threw at me.

Was she trying to confuse me before or something?

"tch, don't think you will get away with what you have done clearly- 

evil-person, you might be strong, but your death is destined to happen from my hands" says the elf in a resentful voice.

Started off by firing an arrow at my back, then confusing me instead of greeting, this elf really plays dirty.

Either way, i am enjoying myself so far, that's all what matters. I hope. Oh, it's time to leave the story at a cliffhanger now.
