When I woke up, everything around me was dark, with only some words appearing in front of me, or should I say inside my head ?
I don't know, this feeling is hard to explain...
Currently, I'm squeezed inside something and can't get out. I dont know what it is but it looks solid.
How did I even end up in this situation?
Last thing I remember was going to a bus stop from a awful party and then somehow, I ended up inside some white space...
Did I die ?
That could be it, but then how am I okay now?
Ok, think, think...
Let's start with those words inside my head...
This is that... right ? Status window.
I played enough games to recognise that at first glance.
Nice, is there anyone that wants to trade place with me ? No ? Well of course not...
Just looking at my status is making me feel like I want to jump out of my skin.
If I even have skin to begin with...
My race is no longer that of a human but something called "World Isopoda"
What the heck is that even ?
Race skill says [Shell:LV~] so this race probably have shell and I could probably roll around with that [Roll:LV1] skill.
For some reason, I have some sort of feeling that I could roll really quite fast with ease...
Is this the effect of a skill ?
Probably it is.
My status is quite poor. I want to burst into tears, but for some reason, I can't...
I mean, just look at it. Won't I be killed the moment I get out of here ?

NO WAY !!!
Okay, okay... Calm down me, this situation still isn't a certain doom for you.
Let's just confirm what I'm sure happened here.
So...
Somehow, for some reason, I died on my way to the bus stop and then got reincarnated into a game-like world as some piss-poor race.
....
...
..
.
Just like in fiction.
.
..
...
....
THAN WHERE ARE MY CHEAT-LIKE SKILLS AND ABILITIES ?!?!
This isn't fair, not at all...
And I'm not going anywhere with this, aren't I...
Haa, first thing first, let's get out of here, It's getting hard to breathe.
I'm not sure, but I'm definitely inside an egg or something like that. So all I need to do is smash it.
Ok, here I go !
...
....
.....
Ok, which one of you ten things are my arms ?
There is no way all of you are my legs, is there.
Let's try moving them one at the time, get the feeling and see if all of them are the same.
Ok, done. It's kinda hard moving inside this small space but I somehow managed to do it.
Actually, I got the answer I seek the moment I started moving the second pair of limbs.
The first pair are different while all the others are the same.
So, eight legs and two arms, if you could even call them that.
I don't have fingers on them, but instead, there is something like a long pointy bone or something like that.
It's hard to describe them because I can't feel them nor properly move them.
Based on their shape, they probably resemble scythes.
Good, this test was a brilliant idea. Now I'm confident that I can walk "normally" when I get out of here.
Ok, let's try again breaking the shell of this egg.
All I need to do is continuously hit the surface with my "hands" and it should break...

Huh, huh, haaah... Finally fresh air !
Is it evening, maybe ? The sky looks kinda red... Well, let's get out of this egg and see the world.
.....
If there is even something worth looking at ! What the hell is this ?!
It's barren wasteland !!! What hardcore difficulty world is this ?!?!
The sky is red, the earth is reddish-brown desert and there are various oversized pillbugs rolling around !!!
Ok, ok, ok, ok, ok, ok... Deep breath, calm down me...
Let's look at the surroundings, see where am I.
Currently, I'm on top of a egg. This egg is on top of other eggs that looks like have all hatched.
Looks like we were left right on the open, only surrounded by some strange leaves...
Totally unprotected...
I won't even comment on this...
Let's just say we were lucky that some egg-eater didn't found us, or we would be done for.
Hmmm, let's at least see how I look like.
Yep, I'm now a BUG... eight legs with two scythes for hands.
I can't really see properly but I definitely have a shell on top of me, lets just hope that it's sturdy.
Also, I'm grey in color. Yay, I guess...
[GrRrrRr]
Oh, looks like I'm hungry. Well no wonder, I just hatched.
Let's see, what do I have for dinner today.
Blue Pillbug that has some kind of funny tail behind its shell,
green pillbug that has some kind of leaves growing out of its shell,
brown pillbug with its shell being double the size than the rest and
red pillbug that has a huge two horns on its head...
Nice, all bugs.
Then it's decided.
Let's starve to death...

Tales From the Terran Republic
We tried, you know… We really did. We tried so hard to be… better… We actually were better once. No, seriously. We were enlightened, generous, peaceful… Stop laughing! We were! We were peaceful, dammit! No, I’m not “tugging your winglets.” It’s true! Look, if you’re going to be like that, I’ll just push the launch button right now. See ya, don’t wanna be… Oh, you ARE interested after all? Ok. Hey, I just got word that your captain will be ok. We were able to get him into a med pod quick enough… Of course, we tried to save him. Just what sort of people do you think we are?... Now that was harsh… completely accurate, mind you… but harsh. Anyway, like I was saying, we were a prosperous, peaceful people, and war had been nothing but a distant memory for over five hundred years before it happened... Before Yellowstone happened! You don’t mean to tell me that you didn’t know about that… massive supervolcano? Blew the Hell out of our planet? Two years where nothing grew?… Anyway, that’s what started it, the Sol Wars… Oh, you have heard about those, huh? Well, needless to say, all that enlightened, generous, and peaceful didn’t exactly make it through the two years of complete famine and the wars that followed… Maybe it’s more accurate to say the enlightened, generous, and peaceful among us didn’t survive… (laughs)… You’re right. It does explain a lot, doesn’t it? Probably for the best, though. “Enlightened” and “peaceful” aren’t really all that useful out here in the galaxy at large, are they? That reminds me; thanks for the ship. You guys did a great job with this one. Oh, don’t be like that. At least it was us what got you and not one of the really messed groups like the Harlequin or the Black Angels. We’re just going to take your shit. It could be worse… trust me... Well, anyway, we loaded the life pods down with some good food, and you guys can drink alcohol, right? We put in a couple of fifths in there, too. It’s about forty percent ethanol, so be warned. Most species will want to dilute that. We’ll drop your wounded off somewhere safe once they are stable. Your fleet patrols this area fairly regularly, and we’ll drop the distress beacon right before we jump… Well, It’s been fun and no hard feelings, right?… Oh, you want to know some more? Sure. I got time to kill… Let me tell you about this one pirate and her crew. They’re Terran scum, but they are still… Why do we hate the Terrans? Hoo Boy… How much time you got? *** It’s the thirty-second century, and humanity is now part of a galactic civilization comprised of hundreds of worlds. Humanity has been savaged by natural disaster and war and has been fractured into several separate populations, all of which loathe each other (some things never change). This is a gritty drama-driven rambling tale that swings between action, drama, horror, and plenty of very, very dark comedy. Warning: contains adult situations, absolutely horrible language, bathroom humor, implied ultra-violence, actual ultra-violence, drugs, alcohol, pirates, mercs, xeno prostitutes, moral ambiguity, deranged AI's with identity issues, giant commie space slugs, and a poor little frog girl who just wants to sell coffee. Updates twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday. *** Note: This story can get rough. Those warning tags? They aren't for show. I recently received a review and as a result I want to make one thing clear. Portraying something is NOT endorsing it! Many "heavy" topics are touched upon and just because a character says or does something does not imply that the author feels the same way. I selected the "Anti-Hero Lead" and "Villainous Lead" tags for a reason. Rule number one of this story is "no good guys". A good description of the story is, "bad people doing bad things to worse people". There are a few good characters, here and there, but they are the exception to the rule. If you want a hard-hitting, exciting, gritty sci-fi story that doesn't pull any punches, or shies away from "difficult" concepts, welcome! If you are set on a pure and noble knight that runs around and slays conveniently evil monsters and rescues totally innocent princesses... or your sensibilities are easily offended... You're not going to be happy with this one.
