2 New Beginning & Abilities (1/2)

”W-where am I?” I asked slightly frightened, everything had happened too fast for me to comprehend... there was a screen floating in front of me - eerily attached to nothing it just floated.. no matter where I looked there was darkness apart from the slight light illuminating the screen before me.

This screen is a simplified version of your current abilities in a format we have found that humans are most familiar with; a system status menu. A term you humans usually give it, however more accurately it's a mental representation of your own knowledge of your abilities.

Let me know if you dislike this layout, honestly I feel a bit bothered by it myself - fyi this is my first time attempting to use a system so please any criticism is welcome although I don't think it can be considered a system due to it being more of a tracker to allow Lewis to accurately gauge his abilities it doesn't provide him with the ability to overcome his peers through instant power-ups either so please don't expect such a thing to happen in the future, the fast growth is Innate to a Shadow Monarch although it'll be explained later thanks ;) )

With that explanation finished I will now send you to a location of your desire, anywhere within your own world is possible - afterwards I suggest calling the name of your abilities to see how to use them and their usages...

I stared blankly, anyone else may have taken a while to adapt to the situation - suddenly placed in an unknown situation and given abilities resembling those out of a novel, it was laughable but my mind instantly went to what if I'd taken something? It'd happened before.. but never to this extent, I was used to the feeling that it gave though - this was nothing like that. This was more comforting as if I could trust everything that was happening as reality, it was a helpful ability in a way to remind myself that this was all real.

”New York..” I mumbled, I had no idea if whatever was speaking to me had heard me but it was almost impossible it hadn't - this space was empty, devoid of all sound and life.
