Seeing these stats, I knew even god level luck, which I did not even have, could not save me,
These stats were utter trash for someone with a fancy name like Raviel Thanarion.
But seeing the status screen, a question rose in my mind, because in the novel it was mentioned that its description was of silver with a grayish shade,
but it must have been my imagination, as it seemed okay.
At least two of my stats are above C rank, which is somewhat good, but this damned fucker did not even have a weapon art, so now I do not even have any weapon techniques for ensuring my damn survival,
"Magnificent" just magnificent, what is the use of being so rich when you do not even have the lowest ranked weapon art,
But it looks like this body was also the same age as mine, just like in my previous world, so no old man wise thoughts or hormonal shifts which I could not control.
And majorly, I am damn handsome,
"Love you Gods for giving me at least a good face in a damned world"
As I was cursing my fate, I remembered that in the novel the main characters and some notable side characters had a soul weapon, which even I knew I would not have, as they were relics of the lost era and were only possessed by a few characters in the novel storyline.
So yeah, this body was not anything special. In any sense.
Besides the C rank skill and adept level lightning affinity, which was pretty rare.
Lamenting about my fate for a few more minutes, I opened the desk drawer to check if he had any more surprises for me in there,
Just as I opened it,
"Holy Mother of—"
Because in front of my eyes there was a watch, and not just any, but Arctic, the watch which functioned as a super modern holographic phone, as in the novel this was the greatest innovation done by mankind after going to primitive ways of fighting with mana,
Just kidding.
But holy shit, this thing was looking cool as heck.
Just as I strapped the sleek watch on my wrist, It glowed briefly as it scanned me, whatever it was.
A holographic board with a neutral voice chimed in an audible voice.
"Welcome back Raviel, today is a good day to go on a walk in Velmont"
Ooh, I like this.
Well, looks like this body's predecessor had personalised it already, and it looks like I am in Velmont City.
Well, that is a good thing, no no no, it is fantastic, as now I can collect the thing which will help me to at least put up a fight against those calamities.
I quickly rose from the chair and made my way through the large hallway before spotting the main door, which opened itself just as I tapped the handle,
Creak
The large door opened itself with no sound, and I finally made my way to my first destination.

(Third person)
As soon as Raviel passed through the luxurious sculpted hallways of his floor corridor, which was on the 45th floor, the corridors were painted with gold, not the cheap kind but the real deal, with engravings of a dragon floating around a tall skyscraper with people that looked like insects from the view.
When Raviel reached the reception quarter on the ground floor, the female receptionist were overwhelmed by his appearance.
"Oooh my, where did this goddamn being come from. Well, with that face he should probably be from Awakened Models magazine, and damn that jawline and face of his is really a thirst trap"
By the time Raviel walked through the large crystal glass entrance door, he was overwhelmed by the sight of tall skyscrapers piercing the sky and the nature which was seamlessly interwoven with modern technology.
Large holographic billboards displayed many products, with the Neogea Unified Association advertising its recruitment posts.
Seeing all this, Raviel was stunned, and when he saw the advertisement,
"So the story has finally started huh"
Because Neogea Unified Association, or N.U.A for short, was humanity's combined effort to battle the abysswalkers and to sanction and authorise spatial rifts to the Abyssal realm on the basis of their threat levels or ranks,
Which ranged from the lowest being E plus and the highest recorded ever, which was seen in the last decade, though it was SS plus but it borderlined SSS rank, which was the epitome of disaster, as when the rift opened, some abysswalkers and solborn revenants, which were basically superior forms of them, escaped from the rift, which caused mass destruction and complete annihilation of 336 million people as it devoured 32 whole countries. In simple terms, it basically devoured two whole continents, which are now death zones for their containment of those creatures.
And this disaster was also known as Prelude, as from then on many changes happened both for the awakened and rift controls.
Anyways, as soon as Raviel passed through the lanes to find the mana rail, because as a novel and game enthusiast he was excited to see those holy grail of a train,
When Raviel reached the station, at first he saw the people tapping their Arctics on the panels before it flickered and chose their destination to book their tickets. Seeing this, Raviel did the same and booked a ticket to Hapsphere, a suburban area mentioned in the novel for its top quality potions and gear, and this was also where Raviel would find his breakthrough from his weakness.
The moment Raviel stepped on the platform, he was greeted with a fresh smell of flowers, as the platform had a biosphere with various beautiful flowers.
Swish
The mana rail appeared in front of Raviel with barely any sound, and then with a loud
Swoosh
It opened its doors. People started to walk into the compartments, and seeing this Raviel also climbed in, cursing his damn nature of being awestruck every now and then.
The doors closed themselves with a
Hiss~
And the mana rail picked up its speed to its destination: Hapsphere.
