“Huh?”

Hans stared at the giant boxes that appeared in front of him with a mixture of confusion and shock.

“A-Am I seeing this correctly?” Hans asks.

Not a moment later, his question was answered.

“Oh my god…” Hans mutter. “This is fucking game stats! Strength, endurance, dexterity, and skills, and don’t fucking tell I’ve both turned into a scorpion and transported into another fucking world! Because I certainly heard of “Common Lesser Scorpion” in my life!” He yelled angrily.

All your questions will be answer if you were to look outside. Well, most of your questions at least.

Hans glared at the notification before doing as it said and crawl out of the hole he was in, and out in the oppressive sun beaming down its rays onto the desert and its inhabitants which now include him.

The moment he step out into the sunlight, Hans felt the heat was boiling him alive as if he had melted glass shove his thirst and into his body, he could feel his blood starting to be evaporated and his organs being melted.

You have gained the skill, [Heat Resistance - Lv. 1] !

Slowly, Hans felt the heat lessening it grips over him, and his insides stop being melted into liquid. He gasp and panic for a moment before relaxing before he started backing up into the hole to escape the heat.

However, before he managed to get back in, a giant scaly foot with massive claws the size of a human, looking sharp enough to cut through metal block his path. A massive shadow engulf Hans and he slowly, and nervously, his look up.

And what he sawed scared him, scales the color of gold, teeth that were more like butcher knives, and eyes that hold nothing but malice in them. It reminded Hans of a horned lizard but bigger, meaner, with knives stuck to it and fused with a komodo dragon.

If he was still human, he would have pissed himself.

It was looking far distance, not noticing Hans at all, and his scorpion body’s instinct was yelling at him to run away, and Hans obey.

[Burrow - Lv. 1] Leveled Up

[Burrow - Lv. 2] Leveled Up

[Burrow - Lv. 3] Leveled Up

Hans burrow into the ground as quickly as he can, with only one thing on his mind. He dig and dig and dig, until he found himself falling.

He slammed into the hard ground, upside down, groaning in pain, Hans struggle for few moments before flipping himself back onto his legs. His exoskeleton was dented, and felling on his back hurt his tail, a lot.

“Ooowwwwws.”

[Pain Resistance - Lv. 1] Leveled Up

”Fuck off.”

Hans sighs and decided took a breather. He stood there, still as a rock as what he just saw sink in.

“I’m really in another world,” He said.

He shook his head and decided not to dwell on it and took a look around, he seem to be in what appeared to be a cave with crystals that gave glows which illuminated the cave which allowed him to see, barely, but it was better than being in the dark.

The cave was massive, open with tons of spaces and a bit chilly.

“Well, got nothing better to do, might as well explore this cave,” Hans mutter.

He crawls to one of the nearby crystals to inspect it and on the way there, he found so me sort of moss growing on a rock, the moss itself was ominous looking, blood red, when Hans came near it, the moss seem to reach out for him with dozens of tiny little red tentacles.

He decided to call it, Blood Moss, after it color and moved on, not wanting anything to do with it. When he finally got the crystal, he saw that the crystal have what appeared to be veins and in the center of it was a yellow object that looked like a embryo with a eye on its stomach.

Staring straight at him.

”What the fuck is that!” Hans yells, recoiling out of disgust and backing away from it. “Uhh, SYSTEM what that thing?” He questions, hoping for an answer.

I am not allowed to answer that question.

He was given an answer, just one that he didn’t like.

“What do you mean you’re not allowed to?”

I am not allowed that answer that question.

“Great, then what are you allowed to answer?” Hans asked. “Or are you not allowed to answer that question as well?”

Yes

“I’m gonna assumed that mean you’re not allowed to answered that question,” Hans said, before once again looking at the embryo and found that it’s eye was still staring at him.

Hans shudder, feeling a chill down his spine. “God, that creepy,” He mutter. The scorpion stared back at the eye and the two began to have a staring competition with each other.

For a while, neither of them blink as both of them didn’t have eye lids, which he noted.

After a few more minute of this, Hans moved to left.

The eye moved to the left, still staring straight into his soul.

He moved to right.

The eye moved to the right, following him.

They stared at each other for a few more minutes in silence before Hans broke said silence.

“God, I can’t get over how goddamned creepy you are,” He said, he paused for a moment and start talking again. “Say…can you even hear me? Blink twice if yes, blink once if the answer is no.”

The eye didn’t blink at all and Hans felt as if the eye just kept staring at him as if he was an idiot.

“Oh right, you don’t have a eye lid you can’t blink at all,” He realized, feeling a bit dumb. “Okay…move the ey—“ He paused, hearing the sound of something scurrying around, and a squeak.

“What was that?” Hans questions, now alarm and cautious if something like that damn lizard appeared again. “It can’t be that lizard as I swore I heard a squeak, so at worst it should just be a rat,” He reasons, noticing that he was clicking his claws out of nervousness.

His instinct had him readying his stinger, ready to inject whatever that made the noise full of toxins.

And then it appeared.

He was saw it on a boulder, sniffing the air before noticing him.

It was…A rat. Hans relaxes a bit, after all, it was a rat, it couldn’t do anything to him as his exoskeleton was far too hard for it to break and it was far more he would sting the rat with his sting than the rat even managing to breaking his exoskeleton.

Then the rat was killed before his eyes and he saw that the killer was another rat, but larger and have teeth that look like it could chomp through steel.

It was also currently stared straight at him.

Fuck.
