[Player ID locked: "Arato Sora"][
[No character panel detected. Entering character creation.]
A mechanical voice sounded beside his ear.
By the time Arato Sora fully came back to himself—
He realized he was floating in a pitch-black void where he couldn't even see his own hand.
A mirror hovered in front of him.
In the mirror, he wasn't shown as himself, but as a cartoon-like character.
At first glance it looked different from him, but on closer inspection it clearly carried his own distinctive features.
And next to his character in the mirror was a switchable [►] button.
When he reached out and pressed it, the figure's face didn't change—but its outfit did.
At the same time, a pop-up window appeared inside the game:
[Class: In addition to entering with your original qualities, you may also select an additional class. The Dream Game System will raise and lower different parts of your stats according to your character traits.]
Arato Sora clicked [►] to preview classes.
There were a lot of options.
Straight-A Student, Orphaned, Excellent Class Officer, Adventurer, Researcher, Mineral Sniffer…
These "classes" seemed to be condensed from pieces of his past experiences.
Most of them did nothing beyond changing appearance.
After browsing for a while, Arato Sora realized there were only three with actual extra functions:
"Crafter (Ore)", "Adventurer", and "Mineral Sniffer."
[Mineral Sniffer: Having found ore countless times, you are unusually sensitive to minerals. You can roughly estimate the composition of the surrounding ground and what ores it might produce, based on the environment.]
[Adventurer: As a mere mortal, you recklessly stepped into the world of magecraft. Whenever you enter a new area, you will instinctively know which locations in that area are the most dangerous.]
[Crafter (Ore): Having frequently produced mineral specimens, you possess exceptional item-crafting skill. You can permanently lock one mineral-related crafting formula in your crafting tab. If materials are sufficient, you can consume stamina to instantly craft the corresponding item.]
Since he could only carry one class at the moment, Arato Sora chose "Crafter (Ore)" after only a few seconds.
As for the reason—
There was a small line of text behind it:
[This class may advance through specific actions. It can ultimately generate the class "Maker of All Things" (Extremely High Potential).]
If the Dream Game System was saying that much…
What was there left for him to argue?
[You have selected the class "Crafter (Ore)." You have gained the ability "Rapid Crafting." Your Constitution and Strength are greatly reduced.]
[Player panel construction complete.]

[Class: Crafter (Ore)]

[Carried Items: Ore Processing Kit]
[Description: A master of technological development, but poor at combat. You will experience extreme difficulty when facing battle.]

"So I'm going into this so-called Dungeon World with this appearance and these abilities?"
Arato Sora had played plenty of video games in his previous life. He understood this sort of system well.
That was why none of this felt particularly unfamiliar to him.
Besides the text descriptions, he could also see three icons next to his character's head:
A red heart icon—his HP bar. When HP dropped, both stamina and energy would decline as well.
A yellow stomach icon—his Satiety. It represented nutrition. If satiety fell to zero, he'd enter a powerless state and his HP would begin dropping.
An orange brain icon—his Sanity. It represented mental stability. If Sanity fell below 10, he'd enter hallucinations. Damage taken inside those hallucinations would be directly reflected onto his real body.
His three values were:
[75][150][200]
Even without anyone pointing it out, Arato Sora immediately understood his HP was low compared to a normal baseline.
But if that was the price for gaining a skill, it was still more than worth it.
As he spoke, he tapped the confirmation button beneath the character.
[Player "Arato Sora": enter the game in this state?]
[Yes / No]
[Tip: The game instance is only a game. The game is not reality. Death in-game will not cause any harm to the player. Please play with confidence.]
"Even if you say that, there's no way I'm going to deliberately choose to die once."
Shaking his head, Arato Sora clicked again—
And the moment his finger pressed down, his chibi body turned into a streak of light and vanished from where it stood.
At the same time—
Right as Arato Sora disappeared…
Another figure appeared on the character creation screen.
Waist-length purple hair.
Red eyes.
A black uniform that looked almost like a nun's outfit—like a black school uniform in the style of a convent.
In the empty darkness, the austere uniform only emphasized her far-more-mature-than-her-age figure.
At first glance, she looked gentle—full of the refined, traditional grace of a Yamato nadeshiko.
But anyone with experience, watching long enough, would notice the distance she kept from everything around her.
She made an effort to blend in through her actions—
Yet inwardly rejected the world around her.
As she stood there, her curvy adult form began to shrink and contract, gradually turning into a chibi figure similar to Arato Sora's.
[Name: Asagami Fujino]
[Class: Observer]
[Ability: Painless Third Party]
[Carried Items: Hemostatic Bandage x3]
[Description: Painless senses grant a detached perspective. As an absolute observer, you can calmly treat everything—including yourself—with perfect objectivity. Perhaps you are a born warrior.]
The purple-haired girl—Asagami Fujino—carefully examined the things in front of her.
In the end, after observing for a while, she cautiously tapped the confirmation button.
Just like Arato Sora—
She turned into a flash of light and disappeared.
