Dragon King of the Butterflies

Butterfly King?

Ryu woke up face-down on the ground, his entire body feeling off-balance and disconnected. He lay still, evening his breathing and waiting for his mind to calibrate with his body. When he felt he was ready to stand, he lifted his head and got to his knees, then finally stood fully. His white bangs, slightly longer than in real life, covered his eyes a little and his limbs still felt not quite his own. It was like he was fifteen again and just getting used to his growth spurt.

"What the hell," he repeated, taking in his surroundings. "Well, I guess I'll go find the nearest town." He was in the middle of a huge field of grass and flowers with butterflies fluttering around, a pond here and there, and a forest to his left whose edge continued in a straight line for as far as he could see. As he walked in the direction of a large smudge on the horizon that seemed to be a town, he plucked flowers of different colors and wove them into a crown, setting it on his head and thinking that Koko would've loved to see him like this.

An alert popped up in the corner of his vision.

System alert!
Dragon King has learned: Weaving!

Ryu picked more flowers and long grasses and found that he knew how to twine them together to make crude sheets of pseudo-cloth. "Cool. How do I see my stats?" he wondered aloud, folding up the sheet and starting on another.

Advice for newbies, a disembodied voice said. To view statistics, say the word "System".

"System!"

A screen popped up in front of him and he jumped, almost dropping the scarf of flowers and grass he was making to pass the time. His only known skill was Weaving, and he figured he might as well sell these when he got to town.

A picture of him, identical to his real-life self apart from slightly longer hair and pointed ears, popped up to his left with his player name (Dragon King) and gender (male) under it. To the right was everything else.

Ryu stared at his stats, memorizing them, then closed the window. His stats should not have been that high. Unless they translated to his real stats, in which case he thought they were way lower than they should have been.

System alert!
Dragon King has learned: Advanced Weaving!

He gritted his teeth and kicked the grass. Walking to the town was taking forever and there was nothing to learn except weaving.

System alert!
Dragon King has learned: Angry Kick lvl1!

...

Or was there?

He sat in the grass and looked at the flowers he had woven into his scarf. Several of them looked like herbs he knew from real life. Taking a chance, he took what looked like a mint leaf and ate it.
