1 The beginning after the end

I was born in a very dangerous neighbourhood, my dad died from a gang war and my mum didn't have enough money to feed me so she abandoned me when I was 9, it has been 7 years since I've been abandoned. for those 7 years I've been digging through bins to find scraps to eat and going wherever I could I find shelter for the day.

even though I am 16 I look many years younger from how short and skinny I was because I was so malnourished. I went to a restaurant to find any left over food that they put in the bin and then the manager of the place stormed out of the shop.

The manager shouted. "didn't I tell you not to come scurrying though MY property"!

the manager punched me in the face and I fell down on the floor, he started kicking me until my whole body was blood ridden.

the manager said. "this will teach you not to come back to my store again".

he then spit on my body that was barely clinging to life and went back into the store.

'what did I do to deserve this, all I wanted was food that was going to be wasted' I started coughing black blood, then I started suffocating on my own blood.

'No I cant die, I didn't go through all that hardship to survive just to die this pathetically'.

My thoughts started to dissipate as my brain started to shut down and then everything went black.

I slowly regained consciousness. 'wait what I'm not dead, did someone take me to the hospital?'

but as I looked around I realised the place I was in didn't look like a hospital, actually I was in a graveyard! I then looked at my hands and realised there was no flesh or skin on my hands, just bones! I looked at the rest of my body and realised I was a skeleton. 'what happened, the last thing I remembered was being beaten to death by the fat pig manager and now I'm a skeleton?!'

A hologram suddenly appeared in front of me. 'what is this' I thought as I tried to touch the hologram but my hand just went through it. I saw there were words on it so I started reading it.

[reincarnator]

'I see, so it seems I have reincarnated into a game.' I knew about games because before I went homeless I used to love playing these types of game. ' In my past life I was a pathetic waste of air that could be killed by anyone, but now that I have the system I will become the strongest skeleton and make sure nobody can step on me again'

I'm guessing when I reach level 5 I evolve. also I wonder what I should name myself, since I never used my real name since the age of 9 I have forgotten my name meh, a name doesn't really matter so ill think about it later.

everything in my status is self-explanatory except the skill [eyes of a reincarator] and the title reincarnartor

lets check [eyes of a reincarnator]

[eyes of a reincarnator]

gives the host the ability to see other peoples statuses, can see through invisibility and illusions and can see souls.

so that's why I have illusion immunity, [eyes of a reincartator] is a op skill alright lets check the title [reincarnator] now

[reincarnator]

This is a title only given to reincarnators, it doubles exp gain, mana regeneration

woah that's a op title so it seems I can level up twice as fast as a normal creature, I will not waste that title nor skill, I will use them to become the supreme skeleton.

suddenly I felt the ground shaking as dozens of graves started to split open and skeletons started rising as they stood up they all looked over to me.

using [eyes of a reincarnator] i saw the stats of the skeletons

[skeleton:[level 0] [rank F-] [hungry for souls ]

[skeleton:[level 0] [rank F-] [hungry for souls ]

[skeleton:[level 0] [rank F-] [hungry for souls ]

the only reason they were facing me must be because I have a soul, I had confidence is beating them all, the reason for that is because they are most presumably mindless and don't know how to fight while in my past life living in a dangerous neighbour hood having to fight for food for years made me quite experienced in fighting.

before the skeletons could surround me, I ran up to one of them I punched it in the face and started ripping its bones off its body and soon it fell to the ground dead

ding!

[gained 20 exp]

[exp:20/50]

i picked up both arms of the dead skeleton to use as a mace, but while I was killing the first skeleton the rest of them have surrounded me but now I had a weapon, I hit the closest skeleton near me with my makeshift mace and it was 1 hit KO

ding!

[gained 20 exp]

as long as I hit the skeletons on the head with the makeshift mace it would one shot them, yet the sheer amount of them and that the mace would break after a few skeletons would make the fight very challenging, while fighting I found out that every time I level up my HP gets fully recovered so that was very helpful in the fight but soon all the skeletons were dead.

[calculating exp gained...]

[you gained 720 exp]

[Your level has increased from 0 to 1]

[Your level has increased from 1 to 2]

[Your level has increased from 2 to 3]

[Your level has increased from 3 to 4]

[Your level has increased from 4 to 5]

[you have reached max level]

[gained skill bash LVL 1]

[gained skill dodge LVL 1]

[gained skill boxer LVL 1]

[gained title race killer]

so I can gain skills and titles from fights, also I reached max level so I guess I can evolve now but first let me check these skills

[bash LVL 1]

your bashes are 10% stronger, every time the skill levels up it increases bash damage by 10%

[dodge LVL 1]

makes your perception 5% slower so you can perceive the attacks better and find better ways to dodge

[boxer LVL 1]

all your punches are 10% stronger

[title race killer]

you are ruthless and you don't bat a eye at the death of your own race and even join in the killings this title will make your evolutions more evil

I cant argue with race killer since i did kill dozens of my fellow skeletons but still, they tried to fight me first, anyway lets check my status
