Chapter 2: The forest
Somewhere in the forest, on a leaf, lays a weird-looking caterpillar. It has green skin with a yellow underside, a teardrop-shaped tail, and weird yellow ring-shaped markings on the side of its body, faintly resembling its eyes, but the most odd-looking thing was the bright red antennas on its head.
This caterpillar's name is Jay, and he was reincarnated about a day ago. When he first came to this new world he had a lot of mixed emotions of course, most of them being anger and sadness, maybe even confusion at times, and here's the reason why. It all began the first day he came to this world...
(One day ago)
Opening his eyes Jay screams with horror as what he sees shakes his whole spirit. In front of him on the floor lay a huge frog-like beast with purple skin, red eyes, and sharp teeth. It was the biggest frog he had seen in his entire life, probably about 5 meters tall, or maybe even larger than that.
Looking at this huge beast, his body shivered. Then, through fear and human instinct, he quickly made up his mind to run, but unfortunately for him. He could not move his body the way he used to. Finding this out, he lowered his head and what he saw made him come to a realization.
"Damn it!!Damn this body!!Damn that system and Damn this bloody world!!" He screamed internally while he slowly crawled towards a nearby leaf near the ground, but did not dare to go fast.
After crawling for almost a minute, he finally reached the leaf and climbed on top of it. He lays down on the leaf and breathes heavily from exhaustion, but does not stay, considering that he is in the presence of a predator. Looking around for a hiding place, he saw a bunch of leaves about 10 meters apart from him. Gritting his teeth, he starts moving towards it and just as he almost reaches it, a sound appears in his mind.
[Ding, welcome host to the world of Vertria, a world in the category of Swords and Magiiic]
"Damn it system, where the hell have you been? do you know I lived these days!!" He shouting angrily to the system that sounded in his mind as he stops and laid on the ground aggrievedly.
Hearing this, the system couldn't help but think if it maybe had calculated wrongly, as it should have only been about 5 minutes that his host came into this world.
[..uhh sorry host, but due to some unfortunate incidents my arrival may have been delayed and..]
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
"May have been delayed!!! Haha you have got to be kidding me, System do you see that down there!!" Cutting the system off furiously he said while using his teardrop-shaped tail to point towards the huge giant frog like beast.
[Yes Host I see, it should be a dead bull frog although it's kind of a small one for it's kind]
"That's right it's a...wait did you just say it's dead."
[Yes Host according to the system it has no vital signs and thus considered dead]
"*...*.....uhh I knew that hahaha totally knew it." He said while laughing awkwardly.
[*...*...because of the system's late arrival the system has decided to compensate host with a random gift and also does host wish to check the System Panel]
Hearing the system Jay let out an evil laughter in his mind while thinking to himself *Maybe I should cheat the system more*
Listening to his host mind the system felt speechless.
"Anyway just check system panel first. System open it."

Looking at the panel that's oddly familiar Jay couldn't help but ask. "System did you make this panel based on a pokemon game?"
[The System modified the panel to what host is most familiar with]
"Well I can be regarded as an expert in pokemon so it really doesn't matter what panel you use as I'll still reign supreme hahaha, but on another note where the heck is my novice package!!!" Hearing this he became arrogant.
[Novice package???]
"Yes novice package, like all systems gives out"
[My apologies host, but the system don't have a novice package to give]
"Whaat!! You don't even have a novice package. How poor can you be!" Jay shouted as he felt frustrated with his penniless system.

"Considering how poor you are you probably wouldn't even give out an antidote so let's try my luck with that random gift you gave me." He said as he then felt a pain in his heart thinking about why he turned into a caterpie in the first place.
