In the middle of an open field with grass as far as the eye can see, with wind blowing as calm as the sky, and trees gently swaying in the distance.
With such a beautiful field lay a young man who looked ot be in his teens with short pitch black hair, contrasting pale skin that was fair and perfectly matched his thin frame and face, making him seem like an angel.
Slowly, the young man began to stir as the wind blew harder. Opening his eyes, the young man rubbed them and tried to shake off the last remnants of sleep. Sitting up, he began looking around, but knew that this was not his home nor anywhere he knew.
"What is this?... Where am I?...and how did I get here?" The young man asked in a low voice
Standing up, the young man saw only grass in the distance and a single large tree with its swaying branches.
"I don't leave any near any areas like this...was I kidnapped? No, then I wouldn't be out in the open like this?...but then why, I don't drink or do drugs, so I remember everything the hapened last night," the young man began to ponder as he walked towards the tree
Suddenly, as he was walking, the young man saw something that surprised him even more than awakening in a mysterious location.
Floating before him was a transparent golden screen projecting a message.
[Hello Klaus]
[Congratulations on being selected for the Sin System]
"Sin system...what is this? Did you bring me here? Klaus asked
[Yes]
"Why? And where is here exactly?" Klaus asked
[This is Central World]
[But for you, it may be commonly known as Earth from the universe of the time I got reincarnated as a slime. I know it may be hard for...]
"Wait, hold on... you're telling me that I am in another world/" Klaus asked as he rubbed his head
[Correct]
"And you brought me here?"
[Also correct]
"Why do you need something from me?" Klaus asked
[No. In truth, my creator is looking for entertainment. He simply wanted to see how someone from another world would live after entering a world that was fiction to them. He will not intervene with your choice; if you wish to destroy the world or save it, it is up to you.]
"Okay, hold on, you're telling me because of your creator being bored, I was stripped away from my previous life to live in this world where I could be killed by anything," Klaus said as he got visibly annoyed
[I know you feel anger, but in truth, this is a chance for you to live the life you wish. Previously, you lived a plain life, working as an office drone just to go home, sleep, and eat. You were not living now, you can with my help] the system replied
Hearing that, Klaus stopped for a moment, his anger subsiding as he looked back on the past few years of his life. How each day seemed to pass by, and he was doing the same thing, and he hated it. Hated the system for being right, but hated himself for not ruining how he was wasting away.
"Alright... let's say you're how can I trust your creator won't just kill me if he gets bored?" Klaus asked
[You don't. But would you rather live life, the you will enjoy for an unknown amount of time, or continue to have been alive but not living until you are old?]
"I...I guess you're right...I really didn't have anything going for me in that life. Fine, I will finally live and give your creator a show worth watching," Klaus said as he accepted his new faith.
[Wonderful]
"Alright, now tell me, system, what can you do? "You said you were here to help me live this new life of mine," Klaus asked as she finally reached the tree and sat in the shade.
[I have multiple functions available to you]
[The main ones being]
[Status: Monitors the host's physical and magical abilities and displays them in a numerical grade]
[Inventory: A limited sub-space that can be used to store items that will be frozen in time to preserve them.]
[Summoning: Allows the host to summon people, animals, weapons, and much more to aid you in living how you wish]
[Sin Authority: Tracks your authorities gained as time passes. You can currently unlock one sin Authority. Would you like to unlock it?]
"I just have one question...is your creator a demon?" Klaus asked as he looked at the different functions
[Yes, my creator could be considered a Demon, also a God, an Angel, and a Devil, dead yet alive. My creator is a great many things that can't be described in words. But your concern is that you are becoming stronger in sin. Understand that only if you are weak-minded and weak-willed will this power corrupt you.] The system explained
"...Is that so? Fine, so use focusing too hard on it. Let's move on. Can you show me my status?" Klaus replied
[As you wish]

As Kluas continued to read down the list and see how he compared to other races at level one, he realized how far behind he was, and how much catching up he would have to do to defend himself.
"I guess I shouldn't waste anymore time getting stronger. I would like to unlock my first authority," Klaus said with a small grin.
[Unlocking First Authority]
