2 System Navigation

POV: Micheal)

As time passed in this dark place That began to feel more like home, I began feeling fuller, more complete. I gained the ability to touch, then to taste, to smell, and to hear. The senses were barely discernable but I could tell little by little I was getting bigger. I feel hard walls all around me, confined, but I can manage. Not for much longer though. It was an unusual experience to grow from nothing and kind of hurt a little at some points but it was fine just another weird thing to add to the record. Another Interesting thing is I feel a little weird, it's hard to describe but I just feel wrong. Well there's no use dwelling on it though so who cares right?

At some point a screen appeared in front of me.

[Notice: Congratulations user, you have successfully been bound by the Champions System. Say or think 'QUEST' to begin tutorial]

I then notice a small box in the corner of my vision that shows

____________________________________________

As I scan over the Screen I feel as if I want to cry. I have not only lost my manhood but the person who named me, gave me my sister's old name. Seeing [Innate Luck] surprised me. I find it ironic how I can be considered lucky after my last life by I guess I have to accept my position now. It will be hard to adapt to these changes but I've already died so it can't be much worse ... hopefully. I began looking forward to the future. I began to wonder what my titles and abilities do, when I realized a smaller text box appeared near my status.

[Congratulations on opening the status menu! Click on the section, blessing, skill, or title to receive a brief explanation]

I proceed to click on every part that I could in anticipation and excitement as who wouldn't be excited about having their life become a game or anything really after being stuck in the dark and burned from the inside out for an undisclosed amount of time.

Suddenly after clicking the last section a new window opened

[ - Investigate [STATUS] menu ✔️]

Now I only need to find my way out of my shell and I can finish these quests. I began to attempt to break out but it was unsuccessful at first. I would give my all into breaking the shell, but nothing. I would exhaust myself sleep and repeat.

Finally after the fifth nap I found a softer spot in my shell and heard a crack in the shell. it was so dark I couldn't see and the system screens didn't help despite their white glow none of the surroundings were affected.

~ Creak ~ Crack ~ Snap ~

And like that, there was a small hole inside of the egg which I tumbled out of. Coughing hard to clear out stuff I didn't realize I had in my throat, I look back at and find a beautiful egg. It has a variety of colors and appears to be slowly moving. It looks like it's made of galaxies. The egg looks massive and has a hole in the side where a weird green liquid can be seen slowly leaking out. I see the same stuff covering me head to toe. It's sticky and a little gross but I don't mind it much as the egg was filled with the stuff and only just now, am I noticing.

Ding, A notification appeared in front of me

[Quest - "Escape" completed. Distributing Rewards]

As it says this me and the egg start glowing a warm faint white light. As it fades the egg as well as the slime vanished, and a wisp of light that remained entered me. I now feel stronger than before. As I am basking in the warmth that started to fade I am bombarded with notifications and a sharp agonizing Pain shot through my head and spread throughout my body. My vision darkened, thankfully the pain was brief. As my vision cleared up I saw the screens

Reading the notifications I was Shocked. What is a Total eclipse? I don't remember ever hearing anything like this in my old world and when did the race Change happen?

As I am about to open my status, I hear a twig snap and turn to see a group of three people running towards the small clearing I am in when their eyes hit me they stop. These are the largest people I ever remember seeing. 'I wonder if they speak the same language as me' I thought to myself in hopes of speaking to someone but, I doubt it will work.

The group looked shocked to see a little kid in the forest and paused upon seeing me

Suddenly a girl from the group walks forward and leans down and says "Little girl, Where are your parents?"
