"Ah! Where is this? Where am I?" Mumbled a young man.
The young man looked around him in confusion. The room he was standing in was very dark.
"Why is it so dark here? ... Ah! I remember. I was just driving the car that caught fire while refueling away from the crowd. Then ... Everything went dark. All I heard was the sound of screaming."
He suddenly stopped mumbling for a moment. He tried to remember something.
"Did I just die?"
Finally realizing that he had just died, he fell into a stiff silence with a blank face.
"This can't be!!! I don't want to die yet. I'm still too young, there are many things I still want to do and I'm not married yet."
The young man then fell to his knees lamenting his fate with teary eyes.
"No... No... No!"
He held his head with both hands.
Soon a light appeared above the ceiling. The young man raised his head to see the light.
"Hah! Is that an angel? Does it want to take me to heaven? ..... Or to hell?"
The young man's body trembled at the thought of the fate that would come his way.
Am I going to hell? Thought the young man in his mind.
The light then turned into a writing.
"Congratulations, honorable Mr. Chiko Pramudya, you have been selected to be transferred to another world!"
The young man just looked at the writing in silence.
"Transferred .... To another world? I don't understand."
The writing then changed.
"If you're okay with it, I'll explain."
"Before that... What and where are you?" The young man asked.
"I am the one who manages this place, a high-level supervising angel and you are currently in the center of the dimensional linking space," the writing changed.
"I see. I understand the first part but the last part I don't understand. But, why do you look like that high-level supervising angel?"
"It's because I'm someone who thinks out of the box."
"Alright. Then please explain about, what was that err... Transference."
"The transfer of a person to another world," the high-level supervising angel corrected.
"Ah! That."
"Before that I will explain first. Why you were chosen to be transferred. The reason is because in the last moments of your life. You performed a rather noble act. Sacrificing yourself by driving the burning car to a deserted place. You died gallantly and bravely."
"So, that's the reason. I thought I was chosen because I was lucky."
"There is no luck in the world only hard work and some unknown variables that result in the unexpected."
The two of them then continued their conversation.
"Next, what will move is your soul. Your body, however, will not."
"Huh? Then will I be a soul floating in another world like a ghost?"
"No, that's not what I meant. You'd better listen to me first."
"Your soul will be transferred along with your memories in the old world. You will also be given a new body according to the human characteristics there."
"Ah. Not bad. By the way, what kind of world will I live in then?"
"That world is very different from the world you lived in before. This world will be full of magic and swords. There are things that are not normal to your previous world and it is full of dangers such as monsters and demons and is filled with puzzles."
"Magic and swords yes. It's like some of the novels I've read. It looks like it will be exciting and thrilling. But wait, monsters and demons? Heh, that's crazy."
"That's why I'm going to give you 3 powers to survive. You can think of 3 powers for yourself."
"Heh, isn't this cheating."
"As long as the powers you want do not exceed the limits in that world."
"Okay, one moment. I'll think about it. Errr first I want an ability that can analyze things. Is that okay?"
"Not a problem it seems."
"Then secondly, I want an ability that can bypass the limits of my strength and speed."
"Because of this and the previous ability. I will give a side effect to this one ability of yours. Is that okay?"
"There are always consequences with the power you have. At least I hope the side effects aren't too dangerous."
"Take it easy. It won't harm you."
"Alright. Then the last one ....."
2 hours later there was still no answer. Chiko tried to think of something during those 2 hours.
"Alright, I'll choose that," Chiko said.
"Have you finally decided?"
"Yes, I want an ability that can master or use all kinds of weapon skills."
"Alright, those three abilities will be incorporated into your brain and your new body. Now are you ready to be transferred to your new world?"
Chiko took a deep breath.
"Huh. I'm ready."
"I forgot this. When you move to that new world. Your name will also change."
"Eh!!!"
"No need to worry. When you master there I will tell you your new name."
Suddenly a spark of light appeared from under Chiko's feet.
"Wait! What is this?"
"Don't panic! It won't hurt you. The light will lead me away."
Slowly the sparks of light began to rise up and cover more than part of Chiko's body. Soon it covered her entire body from bottom to top. It became very glaring.
The writing that guided Chiko earlier turned into a beautiful woman with long white hair.
"I pray that you enjoy your new life, Chiko Pramudya," the high-level supervising angel said with a smiling face.

Huuh, huhh, huhh! *The sound of the wind blowing.
In the middle of a beautiful meadow overgrown with flowers, stood a young man with a tall body. The young man stood up straight and closed his eyes. Slowly his eyelids moved and then opened.
The young man looked around him.
"Meadow ... Grassland?"
The young man let his body be exposed to the wind, enjoying the breeze. The young man's head slowly looked up at the sky.
"It's so beautiful. So, this is the new world I'm going to live in."
"WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF YALRIDD"
