You open your eyes to a vast, white nothingness with no sense of direction, then a blue box appears in front of you.
(Reincarnation Initiated World pre-selected. )
(Gamer system per-selected to Crafting system.)
(Body has been randomized.)
You can only stare at it for a few seconds before your mind becomes riven with pain. After what feels like an eternity, it stops. Gaining the information in the crafting system allows you to break down anything into components, which you can either build a copy of that object or something new entirely, depending on your knowledge. It also allows you to store all your components in the small inventory, but only components created by the system.
As the final bits of information fill your brains, darkness takes your vision.
You wake with a growl. "That hurt a lot, but I am alive and well, so that's good. But where am I? And who am I?" With a flash of pain, the name comes to you. "John. My name is John. I like it. Now, where am I?"
With a look around, John noticed two things. He was in an abandoned, familiar, rusted-out shack, and everything was bigger than it should be. Looking at his hands, he noticed how small they were. "I'm a kid again, and this shack is the one right outside of GoodSprings. I think it's Jean Sky Diving."
"Take a deep breath. "Okay, I can work with this. I still have the crafting system. Let's see what I can scavenge here. Then head to Goodsprings. "With a look around, John can see four metal lockers on the back wall, a table in the middle with a radio and broken terminal on it, and a generator tucked in the corner near the door.
If I remember correctly, there should be a key to the locker on the desk. Wait, couldn't I just dismantle the door to the locker and get the components? Let's try. John placed his hand on the locker door, thought about dismantling it, and in a blink of an eye, the door was gone, with a message appearing before him.
(Three common components added to inventory.)
John smiled at that. "Let's see what I've got. A 9mm with 10 bullets. And 20 .22 bullets. All right, crafting System, let's see what you can do." John gathered the 20 .22 bullets in his hand to dismantle them.
(Two common components added to inventory.)
"So, 10 bullets to one common crafting component. Let's see if I can make them now." John stares at his hands, concentrating on converting the components into something real.
(Convert one common component into 10 9mm bullets.)
"Alright, now let's see what else I can dismantle. I want to get at least a rifle with a silencer before I leave the shack, and maybe Chinese Stealth Armor if I can make it." With eagerness, John gets to work dismantling everything in the shack.
(Lockers Dismantle into 41 common components.)
(Desk Dismantle into ten common components.)
(Radio dismantled into two uncommon components.)
(Generator Dismantle into 15 uncommon components.)
"Okay, let's try this Chinese Stealth armor." With focus, John gets a message.
(Chinese Stealth armor requires 50 rare components.)
"Well then, let's try a leather armor with a varmint rifle, a scope, and a silencer on it." With a deep breath, John tries again.
(convert 25 common components into leather armor)
(Convert 25 common components into a varmint rifle with scope and silencer.)
In a blink, the items appeared before him. "Alright, with all this stuff, I can make a goodspring, and from there, I can start making a base of operations. Hopefully, I can find enough components to make a robot companion or something." With that thought, John used the last of his common components to make ammo for his varmint rifle.
(Convert five common components into 50 5.56 rounds.)
With the last of his common components done, John starts to walk out the door. Into this new world he finds himself in.
