I was just looking at my phone when my vision suddenly blurred. The screen distorted, my head felt light, and before I understood what was happening, I lost consciousness.
When I opened my eyes, I was lying on hot sand, my body aching and injured. Around me were scattered pieces of futuristic wreckage and unfamiliar gadgets half buried in the desert. I slowly pushed myself up and looked around.
This was not Earth.
The sky was yellow, heavy and unfamiliar. Three moons hung above me, each at a different phase, and a massive sun loomed near the horizon, far larger than it should have been.
"Where am I?" I whispered.
Then the memories returned.
I was not just some ordinary person. I was a noble, fighting to defend my homeland against the Evil Empire. We were overwhelmed. In the final battle, my fleet was destroyed.
BANG!
A supposed to be fatal attack directly hit my flagship, but one of my generals moved his ship in front of mine to shield the blow and reduce the damage.
Using that brief chance, I activated an emergency space warp.
Unknown coordinates.

Unstable jump.
[Warning! Warning!]
Lastly Crash landing BOOM!.
And now I was here.
Alone.
As I steadied myself, a translucent screen suddenly appeared beside me, floating in the air and following my movements.
My heart jumped.
Is this it?
The famous virtual screen every main character gets? The one that lets you see your stats and level up?
"Status screen!" I shouted.
The interface flickered.
But what appeared made me frown.
It was not my status.
It was a projection of my ship.
[Emergency AI Online]
[Flagship Health: 41%]
[Energy Core: LOW]
[Facilities: |BROKEN|]
Before I could question it, bright red warnings flashed across the display.
[Warning. One hostile lifeform detected].
Ugly space dog approaching.
Defend immediately.
Another screen appeared, showing a map with a blinking red dot moving toward my location. At the top was a bar labeled Ship Health along with a level indicator.
I stared at it in disbelief.
I have the system.
But it is not for me.
Worse I saw a character in the map and it is in the same spot where am stand
I am just a one star unit in a defense simulation?
