Chapter 1 - 1
After experiencing an intense fever, I woke up in my sweat-soaked bed. I stared at the icy ceiling, dizziness clouding my head. My body shivered from the cold. Despite being a native of the South Pole and having high resistance to the cold, it was the first time in my life I couldn't bear it, even though I was inside my warm ice house.
'When did I get sick?'
A jolt of pain shot through my brain. Although I was alone, I heard a sound. I turned my head left and right, trying to locate where it was coming from.
[The System has been installed.]
[You may now start playing in Game Mode.]
As I heard the strange robotic voice, I wondered when I had ever known the word "robotic."
That word didn't belong to this world... wait a minute, I didn't belong to this world either. A rush of memories from my previous life flashed before me.
'All my life has been a lie. My name is Josh, and my previous life was on Earth. This world is nothing but a cartoon show?'

The water splashed on my face, reminding me how cold the sea was.
Sokka looked at me in astonishment.

On the other hand, Katara was confused at first, then she got excited. "I'm not the only one!"
Sokka turned toward the sea and began waving his hand, as if expecting something to happen. But nothing did. "Come on, man."
"I just discovered it after the fever," I smiled. "The spirits have blessed me."
It seemed their focus had shifted from my sudden interest in the Avatar and the war. But I was starting to feel anxious. With the Avatar still asleep, and the Sozin Comet getting closer, the narcissistic Fire Nation would come from across the world just to make my life hell for their own satisfaction.
