As the youth woke up, felt confused he couldn’t quite picture who he was and his head felt murky. He tried to move but there seemed to be a wall around him. In a panic due to the pure darkness that was enveloping him, he again attempted to the walls, he used his all , but it was no avail. Gradually, his head started clearing up. Suddenly, he remembered who he was, Steve Lake, a 16-year-old boy. His last memory was getting groceries and walking back home when a drunk driver hit him, and he died. He could remember a few things about earth but he felt huge patches in his memory… then he realized he couldn’t remember who his family was!

After Steve composted himself he tried again to break the wall and he succeeded. The light blinded him, but when his eyes finally adjusted, he found himself in a forest. It was breathtaking, all the trees and plants seemed to be glowing and more beautiful than any plant he’s seen on earth. He could see a huge sparkly blue lake in the distance. However, something seemed off. Steve saw creatures like bunnies but they had horns, which confused him. There were more monstrosities like a bear with six limbs, and a mosquito the size of a Great Dane. Steve was now positive he was no longer on earth.

As he looked at himself, he discovered that he was not human anymore. He had golden scales, and a tail, he looked around himself realizing the ‘walls’ he had broken was a shell, his shell. He tried to make sense of himself and realized he was something like a huge lizard. While he was trying to concentrate his thoughts were interrupted by a big purple window that looked something like a status window of a rpg.

The window read:

Steve realized that he was hungry and had not eaten since he was reborn. His eyes wandered to the horned rabbit nearby, and he felt his stomach grumbling. Without any hesitation, he pounced. He bit the rabbit in the stomach, he could feel that it had not died so he thought. “FIREBALL”. He felt his throat fill up with heat and then while still biting the rabbit the fire ball hit him.

‘Critical Hit’

The fire instantly killed the rabbit and with no hesitation Steve, overcome by instinct, devoured the rabbit, bone and all. Soon after he felt an unknown energy enter him and he heard the pesky voice again.
