Scavenging Success
[S1] Heir and Night Butterflies


Fragment 7: Avatar


Instantly after I managed to connect with the system, I felt myself no longer among the weeds.


My frail body helpless from being severely injured had now moved into an all-white dimension of emptiness.


'Where am I?' I wonder in my heart.


I looked at my hands, which were now white and looked like clouds.


Poh... How so?


I looked at my whole body more closely.


It turns out that my body no longer has the shape of a human being. I am now just a white cloud that hovers and has no form.


Am I now a spirit?


Am I really dead now?


Are the various voices I have heard just my delusion and hope?


[Calm Mister. At the moment, sir is not dead. You are in Limbo. A realm that lies on the boundary between the real and also the spirit realms. The Master is currently in the form of a spirit because the body of the Master is no longer worthy.]


I still don't fully believe what I'm going through. But on the other hand, I am thankful that I am not dead.


'What do you mean by my body that is no longer sifted?' ask me on the system.


[The master's body is already falling apart. Can't be used anymore.]


It turned out that my body condition was that bad after getting hit just now. I just had a hard time moving my body.


[Now Master must first select a new avatar to replace the old Body of Master.]


'New avatar? Do you mean it's kind of like creating a new character in a game?'


[Say you so, sir. Please choose one of the five avatars that best match your soul.]


Five ultra-realistic wax figures instantly appeared before me. All the wax figures were not dressed.


'Which suits me best?' I asked the system without a sound.


[Yes. Like blood and DNA. This entire avatar was the one that best matched the soul of Master.]


So I can't be creative making my new avatar free from zero?


[Sorry Sir. But only these five options can be offered by the System.]


Ah... Means after choosing this avatar, I will become a new figure that my acquaintances will not recognize in the past.


Haha... Never mind...


Besides Bang Bonar, no one cares about me. If I was destined to meet Bang Bonar after using a new avatar, I would have a good relationship with him again.


I then looked at the five avatars who all had handsome faces.


The muscle carvings possessed by these avatars exude the typical prowess of a man that will certainly make all women fascinated.


'If the choice is good, it's all like this... Which can also be true, ' my chirps are honest.


[Please use your time, sir. No need to rush.]


'It can't be if you just pick one for me?'


[Sorry Sir. The system does not want to be responsible for all the decisions you make. Therefore the system cannot choose. Business choose choose. The system leaves it entirely to the Master.]


'Hm... Then... I chose this one.'


I pointed to the dark-skinned avatar typical of the easterners. Curly hair styled with cornrow model so it looks more tidy.


[Avatar has been selected.]


[Master will leave Limbo in a moment.]


[Prepare.]


The light that was so bright instantly dazzled my vision. It made me accidentally close my eyes.


...— x —...


I slowly opened my eyes as if I had just woken up from a dream while standing up. I'm right now between the weeds. Where I stretched my life just now.


Without lingering, I immediately checked the condition of my new body by looking at the skin of my hand that had turned dark.


I smiled with satisfaction.


What I saw was proof that what I was experiencing was not a dream. I believe that I have truly been given the opportunity to continue my life again by being driven by the power of the System.


I then casually tried to peek at my power rod by pulling the rubber pants I was wearing.


'Ah... It's according to my expectations!'


I saw a cassava size that was much larger than the one I had before it was brought by the System to the Limbo realm.


'From today your name is Dino, ' I said contentedly to the mighty rod.


'Eh! Wait up!"


I then looked carefully at the condition of my other body. I touched my head, my stomach, then my shoulders and my arms.


'System! Where are the charming muscles that this avatar has?! And why is my hair like this?! Wasn't her hair model a cornrow?' ask me on the System with a protest tone.


[The Master saw just now is an example if the avatar is already in a very ideal condition. While the body of this avatar has adapted the condition of the previous Master's body.]


[Therefore, now you are a skinny and dry young man. Just like a person who is malnourished.]


I just kept quiet to hear the honest words conveyed by the System. I can't argue. The system must have had a reason behind all this.


[But just calm down. Over time, when you are ready to practice. This avatar will be able to achieve the ideal body condition as exemplified just now.]


'Ah... So indeed you won't let me get all that easily huh?'


[The Universe System does not like lazy humans. Therefore, the system will not provide any benefits if you just laze.]


'But for his face. Is he handsome?' I had to ask because I didn't have a mirror.


[Of course, sir. Despite being thin dry. But the current Master is still handsome.]


Mercifully...


I am a poor scavenger. But I know that I was born with a pretty handsome face. I don't want my face to degrade after connecting to the System.


I'm trying to move my new body. Although this body does not have an ideal posture. But it turns out this body feels so light when moved.


Plus, with the healing of all the severe injuries I suffered before. This body feels so comfortable.


[Of course Master will be comfortable with this new avatar. The current body of the Master is fresh as new.]


From the tone of his voice, I knew that System was bragging itself.


I feel satisfied. Even though I haven't mastered the System completely. But as a result of the miracle I experienced, I felt that I now had hope of achieving a perfect future.


Without poverty. Without oppression. And without suffering.


Oh... Fortunately... Wait for me...
