Consciousness like a slow stream returned to me
My senses were gradually restored at first, allowing me to become vividly aware of those that were most lacking: scent and breathing.My entire being felt lethargic like it was made of lead. I could feel something moving as I struggled to stand, which was exactly when my sight was given back to me.
At first, everything was like a haze of barely recognizable, blurry blobs that slowly focused as time passed, allowing me to fully realize what they were. There were trees and vines, along with a large moss-covered lake. It was like some sort of swamp. Then something popped into my vision which startled me.

Configuration process: Strange. What’s going on?
Then I felt my body shifting and changing like a tide. The mud around me was absorbed into my form as I grew taller and larger.
"What the fuck?"
At least that’s what I would have said had it not been for my distinct lack of vocal cords, so instead what came out was something more akin to the sound of a clogged toilet bubbling and liquidy.
I raised an arm to look at myself. What greeted me was brown sludge vaguely shaped into a humanoid hand. I watched as bits and pieces slowly dripped off, splattering onto the ground before being reabsorbed into my body. Then I turned attention back to the screen.

Hmmm, strange, but at least I'm still alive and not in a hospital bed with failing organs and a destroyed spine, but still a choice this early?Considering the fact that I just died, durability would be nice.

As soon as the thought was processed, the screen shifted.

Wait, I'm a golem? Doesn’t that mean someone created me? Also, what does being masked even mean?

[Question 1: Golem]
[A golem is a construct, a magically created monster There are four standard types of golems; these are (from weakest to strongest): flesh golems, mud golems, clay golems, stone golems, and iron golems. All but the flesh golem are created from earthen components: clay, stone , mud and iron respectively]
[Question 2: Masked Golem]
[A masked golem is a variant of the mud golem known to be more sturdy and with the ability to harden. The trade-off is a more visible core in the form of a face covering. It is often seen as the mid-tier stage between a mud golem and a clay golem]
Oh, not the worst thing to be reincarnated as I could have been a snake or, god forbid, an ant. Let’s see what else I’ve got in my arsenal. Um, Oasis, please show me my stats.

Not exactly what I was expecting. This is more of a general overview than the fallout stat interface. I was expecting a sad meaning-I can't power level my intelligence and start pissing out magic missles. Looking around my surroundings, I "sighed", which just basically equated to me making bubbles as I made up my mind and began trudging through the swamp.
