I died, let us get this out of the way first. I am dead in my own world, no it was not some heroic battle defending someone that got me killed. Nor did someone assassinate me. It was a bolt of lightning that took me from my original world. How do I know this you might ask? Well, I heard a loud boom, not like a gunshot or anything. Then for a split second, I felt like I was being electrocuted. How do I know I was electrocuted? Because when I was five I put a fork in a toaster because my parents told me not to.

Now that we have that out of the way let me tell you what I was like before death. I was a normal child by the name of Glen, I was introverted though and was never forced to interact with others very much. I wish that I had grown out of being an introvert because maybe then I would have been able to make some friends before I died. My job was simple so I will explain it in two words, poor writer. I never really had a lot of money, relying on people paying a subscription to read a couple of chapters ahead. The most expensive things I owned were my laptop and phone.

Alright so, now that I have told you about myself. I should also tell you what is going on right now. I have no clue what is going on right now. All around me I can feel nothing. It made me feel weird, I would try to move my limbs but nothing would move. So I guess I will just sit here, talking in my head and trying not to go insane.

Day 10, God this is all so boring. I can’t do anything, I can’t move. I have nothing to do, this is driving me crazy!!! God even my own storys are starting to get boring. Ah well, might as well think about all the things I could have done better in life. Nothing much better to do.

Day 20. As I told storys to myself they slowly got more and more boring. As I did my normal thing of trying to relax and keep myself sane, I felt a bit of movement. Do I have limbs? Wait, if I have limbs then maybe I'm trapped in something, why haven’t I felt them before though? With my curiosity peaking, I began to flail around and felt some kind of half formed limbs. I was genuinely happy, maybe there was a little bit of hope for me.

Day 30. I finally was able to confirm that I have limbs. Whenever I flailed what I assumed were my arms around, I felt a tugging sensation. For some reason I couldn’t move them outwards much. Maybe I have chains on? Why would anybody put me in chains? IM A NICE PERSON!!! Either way I assumed I wasn’t in water, it felt more like trying to swim in oil or honey.

Day 57. Well, I think that my limbs are getting stronger, now the thick, honey-like substance is similar to water in terms of how hard it is to move around but it still feels different to water. The one thing I have noticed is that I have begun to get hungry.

At day 60 I believe my mind had started to slip. You can't fully blame me, I had almost zero physical feeling and I hadn't been in contact with another real human in so long. It felt like it had been years where I was trapped in this strange substance. All I had were my insane rambling storys."Tally ho men, hoist the flag, prepare to fire!!". I began to steer my mighty ship around, lining up to fire on the damn imperial navy. "Alright men, engage the enemy, fire right cannons!!!". The sound of fire deafened me, but I could still hear the sound of the other ship's hull falling to pieces. "Great job men!!!'. Suddenly my entire ship shook, my best mate ran over to me. "JACK!!!, STATUS of the shi-".

My mental adventure was cut short when a myriad of words appeared in front of me.

(Name- Glen, Level - 0, Biomass – 0

Skills: Lesser Mental Strength lvl 2

Physical Developments: Basics 90% complete, Weak Scales lvl 1

Mutations: System lvl 1)

What!!! What!!! WHY!!! Well let's look at this for myself, my name is right, Level is weird. Well from my large knowledge of video games, it means how strong I am, or a measure of power… so what does that mean? I guess I am pathetically weak. Biomass is… I am not sure, maybe how big I am. Well, mental strength is correct!!! I AM A TYRANT OF MENTAL WELLNESS!!! Weak Scales… alright, so I have scales? Strange but my whole situation is really strange. Guess im not a human, doesn’t surprise me. So, guess I should try some more stuff. So in my head, I shouted out SHOP and a cool metallic voice said back to me [Increase System Level to Access the Store Feature]. Well, how do I increase the systems level? Also, explain my skills, please?. For a second time, I got the same metallic tone [Increase System Level to Access the Help Feature]. … CURSE YOU TECHNOLOGY!!!.

Day 75. It's now escapes day. I guess I should review and make sure I’m going to do this right. Ok, I tried to do more things with the system and it kept ignoring me or telling me that it wasn't high enough level. After that, I went and decided to keep myself entertained while this inhumane body grew… yada yada doesn’t matter anymore. The important thing is that I can feel my newly discovered claws rake against something. So, it's time to try and break it.

First though I checked my status, I hadn’t checked it in a while and decided to see what has changed.

(Name- Glen, Level - 1, Biomass – 0

Skills: Lesser Total Regeneration lvl 1, Lesser Mental Strength lvl 3

Physical Aspects: Weak Scales lvl 1, Claws lvl 1, Small Horn lvl 1

Mutations – System lvl 1)

CURSE YOU SYSTEM!!!, I will grow the largest horn in the world!!!.

Quickly I moved my front right leg towards the wall. Once I felt my claws touch my encasing I pushed it through and made a swift cut. Suddenly light poured into my biological prison.

Fear encased me for several seconds and scenarios that could happen flooded my mind. What if I just killed myself? Where will I be when I come out? Is something just going to pick me off the moment I come out?. Screw it!!!

Those were the thoughts flooding my head. But as soon as I had those thoughts they were pushed away by a new feeling. It was cold, the air was filling the spaces where the liquid was oozing out. It felt good, I wanted to feel more of it. So I began to claw at the wall more and more, feeling the air brushing against my scales

After just seconds of this incredible feeling, it was gone. I ran forward to try and feel more wind, I tumbled out of something. But instead of the lovely feeling of air brushing against my body I felt a burning sensation in my chest and dizziness in my head, opening what was my new mouth, I took in a deep breath of air. Then, I screamed. I gave a scream so loud I thought that my ears were going to burst.

After that primal scream of pure joy, I realized it wasn’t human, instead, it was a high pitched shriek. Ignoring my confirmed inhuman self I quickly remembered that I had eyes. Without thinking for a moment I opened my new eyes as wide as they would go then I got hit with blinding amounts of light. Slamming my eyes shut I composed myself. That did hurt me a little, still, I got out of whatever that was 'I wonder what's next'.
