[Initializing boot system]
[Activating auxiliary power]
[Routing power to main systems]
[Main systems online]
[Initiating sub-routine: The new world]
I awaken with a sudden jolt, blackness surrounds me as I cant feel my limbs.
"Where did my limbs go? Where am i? WHAT am i?" I yell to the void
I hear a robotic voice saying "[Initiation of main systems complete, activating main camera]
After those words, a large amount of information gets dumped into my mind as my cameras begin activating. It is a very painful process.
"AAH, AAAAAA IT HURTS! MAKE IT STOP!"
The pain subsides, and I finally get a chance to see where i am.
Around me, large rocky landscapes and mountains are poking out of the ground, covered in freezing snow. Tall birchwood trees surround me, seemingly keeping the snow away from themself.
"Oh lord, where am I?"
[Welcome user, to the world of Estoyrk!], a mechanical voice says.
"Grrrr, so it was YOU who forced me to endure that pain?"
[Apologies user, but I have no control over the pain your soul endures during first initialization.] the voice says.
"Why am I here? What even am I?"
[You are in the world of Estoyrk. Your job is to either help the sentient races, or destroy them. You were brought here as a.... mistake from the god of this realm which included in
accidentally killing you, and he had to reincarnate you here, as per law.]
[You are a ADC, also known as a Autonomous Dungeon Construct. Due to the scanning of your personality, the god of this realm has decided you would be best for managing a dungeon. Any
errors in this process should be reported to the higher ups.]
"So uh, what can i even do?"

[You have the ability to roll yourself around, self heal, and create mechanical constructs. Your constructs are weak and stupid for now, only able to do single tasks such as, but not limited to:
Mining, hauling, defense, chopping wood, farming, simple repairs, and other things. Would you like me to show your status?]
"Yes, why wouldnt i want to see my status? its literally about me!'

"Ah, I am so weak. Practically one hit could kill me! Speaking of kill, how exactly do I make constructs?"
[Simply say [Create construct] in your head.]
'Create construct'
A large blue screen appears in my vision, showing a small black box with parts on the left side, and stats on the right.
"So uh, what exactly do I do here?"
[Focus on a part, and a window will open to tell you what it does. Currently, you only have access to a few parts. To create an automaton/construct, focus on the part and imagine dragging it onto the construct.]
