《A Squirrel》


 Chapter 1 - Reincarnation

    I was floating around I space since the moment I can remember now. I remember dying in my old world, but nothing else. Since then I have been floating around in space for who knows how long. That was until a weird screen decided to make itself known.


    <table>

    Looking at it the only thing that came up in my mind was one of those game interfaces I remember reading about in some novels. Well I guess it is better than drifting around looking at the endless space in front of me.


    Well, first things first¡­ How am I supposed to interact with the screen without a body? Hmm¡­ Let¡¯s try thinks Basic tutorial.


    <table>


    <tbody>


    <tr>


    <td width="642">


    Basic tutorial!


    </td>


    </tr>


    <tr>


    <td width="642">


    Welcome to the system. As this is the users, first time in contact with the system a basic tutorial has been sent to the user. If you wish to proceed with the tutorial, think of pressing the yes button. To exit the tutorial press no.


    </td>


    </tr>


    <tr>


    <td width="642">


    Yes/No


    </td>


    </tr>


    </tbody>


    </table>


    That answers my question about how I interact with the system. Well, I have nothing better to do and I don¡¯t think things can get any worse. Yes.


    <table>


    <tbody>


    <tr>


    <td width="642">


    Basic tutorial!


    </td>


    </tr>


    <tr>


    <td width="642">


    As you how pressed the yes button the tutorial will continue.


    The systems main purpose is to help the users strengthen. User can view the status of users body by thinking Status. User can advance to next level by either killing, completing quests, training or completing special hidden quests.

    </td>


    </tr>


    </tbody>


    </table>


    The system is there to strengthen the users. Why? Well not anything, I can do anything about in my situation. Maybe the system can help me out of my endless floating situation.


    Finally regaining a hope on something I had long given up on I slowly call out status in my head.

    Well that answers most of my questions. I wonder how I¡¯m alive with 0 lifeforce. Is it because of my race? Well now, I have a status. Still does not help me with getting away from where I am¡­


    Help. Can I get away from where I am? Please?


    Begging the almighty system for a solution to my problem I wait I silence. After what feels like an eternity, the system answers me.

    Well that was fast. Before anything more even gets to pass through my mind I fell my entire being sucked into something and then complete darkness falls over me.


    Slowly waking up I still can¡¯t see a thing. I only feel pain.


    Slowly the pain goes away and with it, my thoughts come back to me. Still unable to see a thing I slowly call my status up.
