[System]
[3rd Person POV]
Staring at the translucent screen in front of him, Kale Montelli, a recent Transmigrator of this world of Teyvat find himself in a rather unexpected situation and it's not fun at all.
No one can blame him to feel this way. To died and reincarnated into a world where you can died if you not careful enough. The existence on the screen in front of him not helping his unease heart at all.
Kale: "Why this happen to me."
Kale lampooned, feeling accumulated stress from all of this madness he facing. Massaging his temple, he glanced at the screen with a look of depressed.
As someone who grown up reading Fanfiction, he has considerably amount of knowledge about System. From what he remembers, System is a magical program that designed like a video game which provides the user with many benefits from Quest, Leveling, Skills, Stats and even Item.
While everything sound good, there are some aspect that becomes his greatest concern. The System unknown origin is the biggest problem here. For it's to appeared out of nowhere and in the most convenient time is too suspicious.
While he has no right to be a chooser considering his dire situation, he still has the right to be cautious and suspicious about this System.
[ Please say Menu to open the System's features ]
Kale: "... Menu."
Hesitate, yet he brave himself while hoping this System will not turn him into a system slave like every fanfiction he has read. That will be the least of his worries than.

Looking at the screen in front of him, it enlisted him the features of the System which he found the same as what he has read back at his previous life.
As a former fanfiction reader, he of course already understand with what the System capabilities were. With those in mind, he decided to open one of the System feature that usually become the crucial feature in a System.
Kale: "Open Status."
From what he remember, the main character usually will check the Status first upon receiving a System. This probably to see their own capabilities and limit while see what aspects they can improve.
With that, he look at the screen in front of him that show him his Status.

Looking at his Status, Kale can only say that his Status is reasonable to be say at least. For his Luck to be higher may probably due how lucky he was to get reincarnated. Except...
Kale: (I don't feel lucky at all.)
Kale lampooning, before decided to check the other features to see if there anything useful for him. If did, he than might reconsider himself as lucky enough.
Kale: "Let's see the Inventory."
If he remembers correctly, the Inventory is where the System will left something like Starter Pack or a Gift to the System user to help them survive long enough at the beginning. With that in mind, he opened the Inventory feature.

[ Inventory ]
Starter Pack

Kale: "As I expected."
Kale said, feeling a sense of relief that he indeed has the boon that every transmigrator has. The last thing he wants to know is he came here with nothing but his current name to help him survive.
With that, he decided to open the Starter Pack and see what he got. He pray to whatever Gods who send him here give him a good Starter Pack for him to use to his advantage.
Kale: "Open the pack."

Kale: "..."
Speechless, he can only stared at the screen before blinked twice to make sure he not see a thing. After confirmed that it real, he spontaneously comment.
Kale: "Why I feel I just raised another death flag?"
If his memories serve him right, the Fool Arcana and Velvet Room heavily connected to a famous Persona series game. But again, remember what the theme of this system is probably why this two are here.
Persona series is one of many Worlds within the Amala Universe or Megami Tensei Multiverse. It stand as one of the weakest world in term of power scale which is world threat.
Weak my ass! That is world threat we talking about right now! It a big deal and something to be concerned.
If he remember correctly, the Fool Arcana is an Arcana the protagonist starting from Persona 3 to Person 5 held as they Arcana. They are known as the Wild Card and it believe they appear at the time of need mostly involved a world ending enemy.
If that rule still apply to the Fool Arcana that he get, he don't know to react as every plans he has to survive and live in this world is throw into disarray.
While there are Traveler that will solve the problem at the end of day, he known that he will ended up getting himself involved in one way or another as that is fate of System user which he was.
Kale: (... It decided, I am unlucky one.)
Kale thought as he lampooning of his fate. While he might get something useful from the pack, that doesn't mean he happy that he will involved in a big event that can ruin his future plan to has a normal life.
Looking at the screen, he then notice a sunrise on the horizon through the window of his bedroom as he just realized that he just spend the entire night creating a future plans, checking the future and lampooning.
Kale: "Hah, I will check the other features later after I take a shower... My head feel it gonna blow up at any moment from this constant thinking."
Kale sighed, before take his leave to the bathroom to take a shower and cool off his mind. On the bathroom, Kale who notice his reflection on the mirror still tried to get himself used to his current appearance.
He constantly remind himself that he now is Kale Montelli and everything is real. Of course, he still remind himself that this all just an act to convince other that he is "Kale Montelli".
After a minutes, he finally finished take a shower and fully dressed which he finds himself wearing it subconsciously which may because of this body muscles memory.
Kale: "Not bad, this guy quite stylish."
He commented, impressed by how stylish the original Kale Montelli was in clothing. The hair was done by him as he can proudly declare thar original Kale Montelli is rather handsome young man.
To be home, he finds himself develop some out of character from his previous life when choosing the clothes which may influence by original Kale Montelli who is perfectionist unlike him who is a messy guy. He hope it will not influence himself too much or he might gonna has identity crisis.
As he deep in thought, a sudden appearance of the System screen bring him back to his sense as he take a look on it.
Kale: "This is... problematic."

[ Quest ]
Type: Side Quest
Goal:
1. Find which timeline you arrive
2. Meet at least 2 Characters of Genshin Impact

Looking at the sudden Quest given by the System, Kale can only lampooned at his luck as he thought he can at least enjoy a normal life for a moment but unfortunately, it not the case.
Kale: "Just my luck."
Sighing, he can only lampooned and move on. Well, at least it has no penalty if he failed and the reward seemed generous to him. He might can take a look at the Shop and the Skill feature.
Kale: "Well, off I go. Into a brand new journey."
He said, locking his apartment before begin his Side Quest while enjoying the moment of peace while he can.
