Kyros found himself in a peculiar situation about a month ago. One moment he was at home, and the next, he woke up on a deserted island surrounded by endless sea. Confusion clouded his thoughts as he took in his surroundings. A towering tree loomed over the island, giving it a semblance of life. But the strangest realization was that he appeared to have regressed to his younger self.
Initially, he speculated that some clandestine organization, akin to those in Conan anime, might have slipped him a mysterious pill before dumping him on the island, perhaps for their entertainment. But his musings were cut short when he encountered creatures straight out of a fantasy.
A massive boar-like monster, standing at least four or five meters tall with a length exceeding ten meters, along with a towering dinosaur-like beast, shattered any illusions of being in a scripted survival show. The sight sent a shiver down his spine, dispelling any notions of a controlled environment.
When the colossal boar caught wind of him, its primal instincts kicked in, and Kyros found himself in the crosshairs of a predator. The gleam in the beast's eyes mirrored that of a famished animal spotting its next meal, and Kyros realized he was the prey.
"Run!"
Instinct took over as Kyros bolted, his heart pounding in sync with each footstep. The ground quaked beneath the boar's pursuit, trees splintering like matchsticks in its wake.
The realization struck Kyros like a thunderbolt; this wasn't a mere wilderness survival scenario—it was a fight for survival against untamed beasts, with no safety net in sight. His mind raced as he contemplated his fate, resigned to the possibility of becoming fodder for these creatures.
In his darkest moment, a glimmer of hope emerged in the form of an unexpected ally: the Gold Finger, a phenomenon familiar to those who traversed worlds.
"Ding! The Super Salted Fish Template System has been successfully activated!"
Kyros was dumbfounded by the revelation—a system, a lifeline in the face of imminent danger. This wasn't just any system; it was akin to the coveted Gold Finger from the novels he cherished. Whether it was a pill or an interdimensional leap mattered little now; what mattered was survival.
"System, what functions do you possess?" Kyros cried out, desperation lacing his voice.
[This system can extract powerful templates from across dimensions and rewards daily sign-ins with attribute points. The host can allocate these points to enhance their abilities.]
"Extract a template, quickly!" Kyros urged, the urgency of his situation amplifying with each passing second.
[Template extraction in progress...]
[Extraction successful! Congratulations to the host for acquiring the Kaido template, one of the Four Emperors from the world of One Piece!]
Kyros's spirits soared at the revelation. One Piece had always held a special place in his heart, and acquiring the template of Kaido, the enigmatic ruler of beasts, felt like winning the jackpot.
A sleek, high-tech interface materialized before Kyros, detailing his newfound powers:

Kyros's excitement bubbled over at the prospect of enhancing his abilities. Drawing from his vast knowledge of anime and manga, he deliberated on the best course of action. The battles of One Piece provided invaluable insights—Armament Haki for defense, Conqueror's Haki for dominance.
In the end, Kyros made his choice:
"System, allocate all attribute points to Conqueror's Haki!"
With newfound resolve, Kyros braced himself for the impending clash, ready to assert his dominance over the unforgiving wilderness.
