(Adam) "Is some one playing games with me? Why am I back in this place. He told me that." My thinking is cut off by a blue box popping up in front of me.

Body creation commencing
Blue screen after blue screen flys by almost faster than I can read them. Leaving me no time to process what I am learning. When suddenly I feel a strange pulling sensation along with another blue box.

Seeing the blue box ask for my input for the first time I try to think about what to do. After a moment of thinking, I reply with a yes. The tugging feeling starts to grow stronger at this point. Bracing myself for what is to come to more boxes flash by and the feeling vanishes.

Body integration complete
After that, I am again left alone in the dark.
Waiting in the dark for something to happen I start to think about recent events. Things like the fact that I am no longer human. The fact that I now see magical blue boxes. The fact that I made a deal with something that is clearly evil. Not to mention the fact that I died and the person who killed me was reincarnated as a hero while I'm stuck as a dungeon.
After letting off some steam I start trying to think about things rationally when I suddenly have an idea. If this system is like a game then shouldn't I be able to open the stats I just got? I interacted by talking early. So maybe .... Well. No harm in trying.

(Adam) "open... Open? .... OPEN! ...." "Why won't it open!? Wait. Calm down. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. But I wasn't given any instructions on how to do it. What will I do if I can't figure it out? No. Stop thinking like that. I got it. I'm probably just saying the wrong word. Maybe...." "stats!"

(Adam) "yes."
You need more MP
Not knowing what to do I just wait there looking at the abilities. Noticing some very useful ones I start to look at them slower. Making sure I understand them all.
After a while of waiting. I fell energy gathering in me. Having already planned out what I'm going to get I start to speak.
(Adam) "Dungeon sense."

As soon as I bought this skill I could see a rocky chamber with a crystal in the middle. Looking at the crystal I could tell this was my body. It felt strange to look at myself but I quickly got used to it.
(Adam) "Well, I guess I should just wait for more Mp to unlock rooms with. Then I should start getting traps and monsters to defend me. After that, I need to... What do I do after that? I .... Well, I guess I will just find out then. For now, I just wait to gain more MP."

(Author notes)Sorry that this chapter was so short. The rest of them will be much longer. This one was mostly made for me to get used to using the charts and to ask for people's opinions on them.
