He pinched himself, slapped himself and splashed himself to make sure he wasn"t dreaming or hallucinating. Simple reincarnation in his former world or another, he could accept. However otherwordly transmigration in a new body was too much. It took a while to come to term with it.

"I can"t believe all of this really happened to me... Now what to do? I"m in a new world now, a world I know nothing about. It would be bad to die shortly after arriving, so I should do something to ensure my survival first... Now that I think about it, if I came with a body ripped of from Kamidori, did I get something else from the game? Status!"

"As expected, the game system... Haaa? No name? Wait, of course there is no name... I"m basically a new character, new to this world. This truly is the start of a new life, my very own New Game Plus. I need to think of a good name..."

"I have a crafter cla.s.s, so why not have the name of a famous crafter character from my former world as last name? Wait, my new self is based on the character of a game whose t.i.tle mean G.o.d Catching Alchemist, so why not just take the name of a G.o.d of craft? ... Wait, the only G.o.d of numerous craft whose name I know is Vishvakarna or something like that. I remember looking for crafting deities one day on wikipedia, and it was the one I liked the most. But it"s too long, so I"ll settle for Vishva. As for the first name, I"ll settle for Neo, because I feel like I entered the Matrix or something like that... sight..."

"My name is Neo Vishva!"

"Now that I think about it, the interface is quite different from the game. In the game, there is no alchemy skill, it only list the skills used on the battle map. Weapon masteries went from F to A, S and finally M. Same with synthesis rank, which was replaced here by the Alchemy skill. And it also must be the reason my cla.s.s is Meister. The amount of health, mana and stamina increased, probably related to the attributes, since they changed as well. Intelligence was replaced by wisdom, resistance by spirit... It seem like speed and movement were combined into agility, hit and evasion into dexterity, and service and command into charisma..."

It took a few seconds for him to notice.

"Those were the stats I gave myself with the cheat programms!! That mean the items I gave myself are probably in my inventory right now!! Inventory!"

The inventory was divided into 6 sections: consummables, weapons, equipment, clothes, furnitures and materials, and they were full of items. Recovery potions, fabric improvement products, mythril weapons, enchanted jewelry with stats boosts, mythril shields, high quality bedroom and store furnitures, high quality crafting and engineering tools, rares, if not unique items and machines, some mines, a hot spring, and a whole lot of basic, advanced and rare raw materials. Finally, he discovered he had 2500 gold coins. He remembered the currency in the game was santoerils, and he had 250 000 of them. He guessed it had been converted to the local money.

"Holy f.u.c.kin s.h.i.t! I"m stinkin rich!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!! I"m f.u.c.kin loaded!! ... s.h.i.t, I better calm down, who knows if there something or someone nearby!! What an idiot!! I should be doing everything to avoid dying again. There I go screaming about my newly aquired wealth in an unknown area..."

He quickly took out the mythril hammer and a mythril shield, and bemoaned the fact that in the game he couldn"t wear armor. He only had his basic clothes, unenhanced. He also put on a stynia which enhance his stats by 3, and a hero necklace which enhance his resistance to the elements by 10%, giving him 10% resistance to each elements. It made him realise he had 0 resistance at base, and below that it entered the realm of vulnerability, at 100% it was immunity, and above that it was absorption of the element into the body.

"I probably shouldn"t stay here any longer, it"s never good to stay in an unknown forest at night, and time is pa.s.sing. Let"s follow this stream, and hope I reach a settlement, or any trace of civilisation."

So, Neo steeled himself and moved, hammer and shield ready in each hand.

As he walked, his back was slightly turned toward the stream, thinking it was less likely to receive a surprise attack from there due to the size, depth and speed of the current. To small for creatures big enough to be a threat to hide, too fast for small enough creatures. Still, he remained wary of the stream even if most of his attention was on the rest of the forest. Furthermore, there weren"t many branches above his head when he was near the stream, so less risk of a hidden attack from above. He could be attacked by flying creatures, but he would see them coming, instead of something hidden behind leaves.
