Kael opens his eyes, startled by the wetness and coldness on his body. He is in a forest made up of gigantic trees, each over fifty meters tall. Raindrops falling through the trees have completely soaked Kael, and he is nearly hypothermic.
Kael quickly gets to his feet and begins to look around. A small wooden chest one meter away immediately catches his attention. When he opens the lid of the chest, he finds a parchment rolled up inside. The parchment is yellowed and deformed in various places. Using his body to shield it from the rain, he carefully opens the parchment. On the parchment, there is a hexagonal shape containing various symbols and signs.
Before he can understand what it is, a blue panel suddenly appears in front of him. The panel reads: "You have obtained a mysterious parchment. Would you like to use it? If you use it, the parchment will be permanently destroyed." Without hesitation, Kael chooses to use the parchment. Instantly, the symbols glow, and a navy blue flame ignites the parchment. Even though the parchment is entirely reduced to ashes, the navy blue flame continues to burn in the air. The flame grows and intensifies continuously. Once it reaches a certain size and temperature, it suddenly rushes toward Kael's eyes. This causes Kael incredible pain. When all of the flame enters his eyes, a gigantic navy blue flame rises from his hair and entire body. The flame vanishes abruptly after rising to twice the height of the trees there. His eyes and hair are now glowing navy blue, and his soaked clothes have been completely burned away, replaced by different black leather clothes.
His body is no longer cold; in fact, it feels as if a flame is burning inside him. A few minutes later, the color of his eyes and hair returns to their normal color, which is brown, and the blue screen reappears. The screen reads: "Congratulations, the parchment has been successfully assimilated. Would you like to open the statistics to view your abilities?" Kael realizes that the system is guiding him in a positive direction and opens the statistics.

Kael's attention is drawn to the "???" where his race should be listed; he wonders what this could mean. He also notices a strange energy spreading through the veins from his heart, along with a navy blue flame burning right in the center of his chest. The energy spreading from his heart throughout his entire body is aura, and the flame-like burning thing is mana, which is present in all living beings. When he carefully looks around, he notices colored dots. Focusing on one of those dots reveals that it belongs to a deer, an elemental deer, seventy meters away. This is Mana Sight, and it allows him to see everything within a radius of about one hundred meters, enabling him to hear every sound and know every movement. The deer's description states that it is a monster capable of using elements. Furthermore, there is no creature as strong as that deer within a hundred-meter radius. Although Kael wants to attack the deer, he instinctively knows he doesn't stand a chance against it, and so he heads east, away from the deer's location.
