Kuin is a hikikomori or shut in, always playing games or reading webnovel and manga, only leaving he's house to work.
That's how he's live is or was until one day truck-kun pay him a visit while he was crossing the street.
. . .
Darkness was the first thing that I saw when I woke up, looking around I only saw darkness.
Searching my memory, I remember walking home from work, and when I was crossing the street I saw a truck and now that I woke up.
"So truck-kun send me to the after life."say Kuin."so is this the after life or what, or maybe is like in does mangas and novels I have read."
He was thinking until in the corner of his vision he saw a small square with the word start.
"Eh? what is this."he thought"start?"

{Starting system}
"What-" he thought but was cut after another ding sounded.

"Eeeeee!" was all he thought then a panel with a keyboard appeared.
"Is it a dream or what'd going on, maybe it is a dream."
"Well if is a dream let's continue till I'll wake up, so now what name should I use, my name is Kuin and I usually use Queen since it sounds like my name."
"mmm... yeah I'll do the usual."
So he thought and typed the name Queen.

{[Evolution System] initiated}
{Welcome host, to see your status please use the command status.}
" So [Evolution System], what a weird dream I have."
ding*
{For the host information this is not a dream, host has died and awakened the [Evolution System]}
"wait what!"
ding*
{ That for the host information this is not a dream, host has died and awakened the [Evolution System]}
"... So I really die and now what, am I going to reincarnate in another world?"he asked.
ding*
{Yes} answered the system.
"I see, well let's continue maybe I'll live a better life."he thought while saying status.

"Well something is something, better than nothing I guess, but where am I system."
ding*
{Host is in the process of being born, the process started the moment the information of the world host is being born was downloaded}
"Ooh, so I am being born, how long do I have to wait?"asked Kuin, not wanting to stay in this absolute darkness, and also wanting to see the new world.
{The host new body will be born in 6 month, 3 weeks, and 10 hours.} Responded the system to his dismay.
"Half a year?!, you got to be kidding me, is there no way of speeding up the process?"
{No, but the system can put host in a form of sleep so host doesn't have to wait}
{Do host accept?
(yes) (no) }
"Phew at least I would not have to wait here doing nothing."He thought.
"But before putting me to sleep could you tell about the new world, system?" He asked wanting to know where he reincarnated so he could make a plan of what to do.
{Yes, the host has been born in a world called Arastia, where different energies exist, Mana, Qi , and Demonic energy being the most common.
The Arastia world is bigger than the host old world, with few beings being able to explore it in it's entirety.
The Arastia world has different races with the majority being humans and monsters.
In this world all beings sought for power and strength, with the majority cultivating mana, and Qi.}
" I see, well now I know that for sure I need to get stronger, system what are the evolution points?" Kuin asked when he remember reading it.
{Evolution points are needed for evolution, host can get them every 5 Levels or by consuming other beings, different beings giving different amounts of points.}
"Mmm so that's how it is well at least now I know, okay system put me to sleep till it is 10 minutes before being born." Say Kuin not wanting to be caught unguarded in a new dangerous world.
{As host command}
That was the last thing Kuin heard before losing consciousness or falling sleep.
. . .
While Kuin was sleeping he dreamed of his days in his old life, because he always got good grades in school and was an orphan, kids always bullied him, beating and making fun of him, even when he was in college.
Because of that he never goes out, only to work, and the rest of the time he was always in his house playing games and watching anime, sometimes reading mangas or webnovels.
. . .
ding*
{Ten minutes left before host new body is born}
yawn*
"Is time, and what a nightmare I got." Thought Kuin remembering the dream he got while sleeping.
"System show me my status." Commanded Kuin.

"Is all the same, well I am not born yet so I should have guess nothing would have changed." Thought Kuin ridiculing himself.

{Level up}
When Queen leveled up he could feel he's body becoming stronger, and he could also sense more he's surroundings.
After the feeling was gone he remembered that he was in an unknown place, so he began to look around checking his surroundings.
All around him were two walls of rock and soil, stretching long, giving him the choice to go to the back or front.
'So I am in a cave of some kind, should check my status.'

'System I know how I get the skil (radar Lv.1) but what about the others?' Queen asked being confused about he got the other new skills.
{host, the other new skills come with the new body} Answered the system.
'Ooh I see, and system how do I use the skills?' Asked Queen since he doesn't know how.
{When host acquire a new skill information about the skill will appear in host's mind but since host was just born the system didn't integrated the information yet}
{Does host want to integrate the information about how to use the skills}
{Do host accept?
(yes) (no) }
'Yes.' Queen thought without hesitation. After saying that a lot of information of how to use the skills began to appear in his mind.
After some seconds Queen used (radar) to check if there's any being of the same rank or stronger close, after checking that there's none he began to check he's skills and use the stats and skill points.
. . .
After sometime Queen using the skill (earth manipulation) created a small passage in the wall and at the end of the passage he created a room to be more safe and also closed the entrance.
Only that cost him more than half of his MP, having to rest many times for a long time letting his MP become full again. So he decided to rest before continuing to test the other skills. While resting he decided to allocate his stat points.
While doing it he only used 20 and left the other 20 for a dire situation. After some thinking he put four in vitality and intelligence and two on the rest making he's status look like this:
{Status:

'Looks better, now it's there a way to recuperate my MP faster?' He thought and began to ponder what to do. Till he remembered what people do in yoga and also some monks.
Meditation.
So after thinking he decided to try and mediate. Thank to the (shape shifting) skill he manege to get a human-like form, not perfect but it work.
After sitting cross legged he began to sense the energy in the surrounding area. When Queen sensed the energy around it looked like a small stars floating around, after he tried to get them close to his body to absorb them, tough when he tried it feels like he was trying to move a giant boulder, being extremely hard. After some hard work he manege to get one close to him, when he pull it into his body it disintegrated and at the same time he could feel he's energy reserves filling faster.
After seen that it worked he continued for an hour till he's energy reserves were full then he checked the rest of his skills.
Them after some time because of being tired he decided to go to sleep and go to hunt something to eat and grow stronger when he woke up.
