“I accept yo—” I couldn't finish my sentence as my surroundings abruptly shifted. I found myself in a completely blank, white room. I looked around and realized I was alone.
'Perhaps those beings or Gods sent me here in haste,' I mused, pondering the reason for their sudden rush to send me to this new world before I could even finish my words.
**Ding! Ding!**
As I reflected on those so-called Gods, I heard a ding, and a black screen with golden borders materialized before me. Another ding followed. As soon as my gaze fell upon the blank screen, golden words began to appear.
----------------------------------------
As you have agreed, you will be granted five exclusive skill slots. You may create five skills of your choosing with these slots. You are required to name your skills and describe their functions by stating the skill's description, limitations, and uses. However, the skill will only be approved if both sides of the plausibility scale are balanced. Overpowered skills may heavily weigh on the plausibility scale, so choose wisely.
----------------------------------------
I carefully read the words that materialized before me again, ensuring I did not overlook any details.
The panel permitted me to create new skills by describing their functions, details, and restrictions. It appeared the text aimed to challenge my imagination and create new skills suited for my new life in a foreign world.
I could choose any skills, but I had to maintain balance on both sides of the plausibility scale, and I only had five slots to create these skills.
I did not comprehend something, so I voiced my question, “What is this plausibility?”
**Ding!**

The same ding echoed again. I observed the previous words vanish and new words appear in the same font and color.
----------------------------------------
Plausibility is the unit that measures and dictates the extent of change brought about by a decision. In simpler terms, plausibility reflects the consequences brought by your decisions and the way you shape your destiny. This is merely the general idea. You lack the necessary authority to learn more about this.
----------------------------------------
“Hmm, so you mean to say that plausibility refers to the outcomes of our decisions and their future effects on us.” I earnestly tried to comprehend what the panel conveyed because I couldn't fully grasp it with such a superficial explanation.
“And what is this authority, and how can I increase it?” I inquired, curious about the authority the panel was referring to.
----------------------------------------
You need to become stronger to receive answers to further questions, as you have yet to commence your new life.
----------------------------------------
I read the words and understood that to increase my authority, I would have to achieve greater prowess.
“Take out the plausibility scale; I wish to create my skills.” I opted to create new skills that would aid me on my journey to become stronger.
As the final words left my mouth, a medium-sized weighing scale appeared before me. It glowed with a golden light, similar to the words on the panel, and each plate on the scale was empty.
Then, a black glow emerged beside the scale in a similar manner, floating to the left plate and causing it to tilt to the left.
Then a ding rang in my ears, drawing my attention back to the panel as new words emerged.
----------------------------------------
Your skills will only be approved if both plates are balanced. Remember, you need to create appropriate skills so both sides remain equal.
----------------------------------------
“Hmm, alright,” I nodded, understanding that the skills I created must balance the weight on the left plate. But there was something crucial the system hadn't mentioned.
“But how am I supposed to create skills?” I asked, looking at the now blank system screen.
The system answered with its usual ding, and golden words emerged on the screen.
----------------------------------------
You need to articulate the name, description, and functions of the skill aloud. Then, your skill will be weighed on this scale to determine if it is balanced.
----------------------------------------
“Hmm...alright, I understand,” I nodded with a composed demeanor, knowing that to create my skills, I had to say their names and functions aloud.
However, there was still something that persistently troubled me, and I felt the need for clarification. "Hey, since you Gods have decided to send me to this new world... Can you tell me my task or my purpose that you mentioned before?"
The answer to my query arrived with its usual ding and golden text.
----------------------------------------
You will discover your purpose upon arriving in the world of Zemuwr and attaining some strength.
----------------------------------------
After receiving the reply, I felt somewhat disappointed, but I chose not to dwell on it
and moved on. "Alright, fine, don't tell me. Let's proceed with creating my first skill."
