8 ORC'S ARE SCARY!
"I wanna learn magicccccc!" I said, leaning against a tree.
[Jeez, focus on your current tasks, and either way, your magic stats are too low to even use magic.]
"... D-Did you say stats?"
[Yeahh? So what?]
"S-SO STATS EXIST?!" My voice probably woke up every monster in this damn forest honestly-
[Yes, why the hell are you getting so worked up about it-]
"Well, why haven't I been able to see them?!" I was annoyed, I mean, come on! Stats are a staple in most iskekai series, so why haven't I been able to see mine?! Oops, I'm breaking the fourth wall-
{They were never asked to be seen, host.} The other AI thingy spoke up in its normal monotone tone.
"W-Well show them next time I want to see my status."
{Request confirmed... Initializing... Complete. Stats will be seen next status use.}
"Alright, Status!"

"... W-What? Excuse me? Come again? WHY ARE MY STATS SO LOWWWWW?!"
{You're a slime.}
"BUT I EVOLVED AND EVERYTHING!"
{You're still just a slime.}
"W-WELL HOW'D I BEAT THAT WOLF THING IF I'M SO WEAK, H-HUH?!"
{It was pure luck alone.}
"E-Even the vampire? Was that luck too?"
{No, you beat them because of Gluttony.}
"..."
'God, I'm pretty weak-" All I could do is let out a sigh, "Well, Even if I'm weak right now, thanks to Gluttony, I can keep on getting stronger! Then I won't even need to use Gluttony to win every fight!"
[If only you were as strong as your ability to look on the bright side...]
"You know what? I'll take that as a compliment! Thank you!"
[Exactly what I'm talking about. Anyways, You've gotten completely off task.]
"OH YEAH, I HAVE! Right, right, clothes and stuff... Wait a minute, couldn't I just use Mimic to make it look like I'm wearing clothes? Or is that not how it works?"
{Mimic only changes your shape to look like a specific monster or person.}
"HOLD UP! Isn't that practically useless for me as I am? Since I could do the same thing by using Gluttony, but better?"
{Correct, it is essentially worthless for you right now.}
"Heck... Maybe there's like a bandits hideout somewhere? Could steal some clothes from there maybe..."
{>Confirmed request to search for 'Bandits hideouts'... Using Mana to initiate request... Mana insufficient, Compensating with using Health as a replacement}
"WAIT HOLD UP-"
{Cancelled.}
"OKAY, FIRST OF ALL, DON'T EVER USE MY HEALTH AS RePlaCEmENT UNLESS I TELL YOU, SECOND OF ALL, YOU CAN DO THAT? YOU CAN JUST SEARCH FOR STUFF AND FIND IT?"
{Y-} They were cut off
[N o .]
"Oh, okay- LIKE HELL I BELIEVE YOU! WHAT WAS ALL THAT STUFF THEN?"
[Ugh, They're just being stupid, you haven't really, unlocked that feature yet.]
"So eventually I'll be able to use it?""
[If you don't get gruesomely murdered by a monster or something then tortured or worse.]
"Oh, that's a nice thought, thank you so much for putting that in my head."
[Any time.]
I stood up, my stomach rumbling. "Alright! I've gotten off trac- why am I hungry I ate- or rather dissolved food just a bit ago!" I'd suggest you not think about how me dissolving food looks like
[I don't know, maybe because your other forms have been starving.]
"A h . . . f u c k ." AS YOU CAN GUESS, I RAN OFF IN A HURRY LOOKING FOR FOOD. And for your information, I-I didn't trip once! Anyways, luckily, I found a small tiny pig! Except I didn't, I found a huge Orc looking monster that looked like it could easily beat me up. The thing was like over seven feet tall! I'm currently hiding behind a tree, stalking it because seriously it was the weakest thing I could find, and it's still probably really strong! This forest is really scary... Oh, um, it's kinda just walking around, it's staying still and sitting down at the moment though, now's probably a good time to attack!
'Hey, is there anything new in the shop that I could use?'
{Yes, you can now purchase a 'decent bow' for 200 credits and arrows each for five credits.}
'Okay! Buy that bow and forty arrows!'
{Purchase confirmed, deducting 400 credits... Complete, materializing forty arrows and 'decent bow'.} As they said, a bow and a ton of arrows kind just, started appearing in front of me! I picked up the bow and aimed.
"A-alright, I may not be an archer... Or even know how to use a bow... But I can do this! Deep breaths..." I narrowed my eyes, aiming for its neck. And... I shot at it! Oh, the arrow, barely went three feet, while the Orc is twenty feet away from me. a - a n d i t ' s l o o k i n g a t m e .

[BAHAHAHAHAHA!]
"S-SHUT UP I'M IN DANGER NOW-" AND RIGHT I AM BECAUSE IT'S STANDING UP RIGHT NOW, OH CRAP, OH CRAP- "U-UH- ICICLE BLAST!" I yelled, A series of Icicles appearing out of a fog, they were a bit smaller than the ones the wolf made, and there were a bit less.
They all hit him, BUT OF COURSE THEY BARELY EVEN WENT THROUGH HIS FRAIL ARMOUR AND BARELY PUT A SCRATCH ON HIM!
{>Use of skill which uses Mana used while no mana is present... Deducting 5.2 Health.}
"WHAT?! SHIT- UH, SWITCH ME INTO THE FORM WITH THE HIGHEST AGILITY!"
{Confirmed, transforming into Big fis-}
"WAIT, CANCEL- DAMNIT-" I yelled, but um, the Orc was in front of me at this point, seething with anger. "JUST TURN ME INTO THE GIANT BAT THINGY!"
{Confirmed, transforming into Giant Bat.} Just like they said, I turned into Giant bat and flew up, having a bit trouble since well, I haVEn'T usEd wIngS beforE! So I need to think of a plan, and quick because I can't stay up here forever. Jeez... What do I do?
