Chapter 1- It seems that this is just the beginning eh… System Starting up. Adventure Start!
Still in an unknown forest somewhere
[and thus your journey begins NOW!]
And thus just as sudden as the mysterious voice of this god Zuldir appeared, it disappears in a blink of your eyes. Then the surroundings seem to come into further existence around you as an orb of bright light flashes into existence right in front of said eyes. The light that you see parts the sun's rays like they are nothing and even seems to brighten your mood as it seems to seal your chaotic thoughts all at once and as you are wondering if this is what is like to have a zen experience. You seem to faintly hear an oddly familiar sound ring in your head.

{brain scan has revealed that the host on their home planet is considered to have high functioning autism, also known as Aspergers. On host's home planet the traits exhibited due to this are considered a neurodevelopmental disorder as it disrupts the host's brain function. This affects their emotion, learning ability, self-control and memory. A simplified IQ/EQ Profile sourced from the system shows the following results:
(Reading the information in the spoiler that shows the results of the system doing an IQ and an EQ test isn't all that essential to read but it will explain why the main character might get lost or be really slow at reacting to things that happen later in the story. Some might consider it just pointless though so to each their own Tongue).

{Host's mental capabilities will be kept the same as Administrator Zuldir has commanded. Nevertheless, the host's physical body will be discarded and created anew and the characteristics placed within the host's memories to be unlocked. The unlock requirements will be set to be reaching the point of evolution of which indigenous non-self aware life forms reach to become self-aware. The development of self-awareness is a key step in developing intelligence and cannot be missed despite the host's unique circumstances.}
{As such the specific instincts and developments to the host's base life form will be kept in the host's biological makeup when the host becomes part of that species in his evolution path despite the differences the host has. This also applies to the host's biological influences when out in the world.}
{The system is allowed to tell the host that their soul and temporary body is located on Planet Iaria, within the borders of Iorilia Forest and the host's potential body is on the outskirts of Iorilla Forest and the nearest town is Marshyln Town}
{The system is only allowed by Administrator Zuldir to give the following basic information to start off the host's journey. The administrator's orders are to suggest the host to:}
{Locate the potential permanent host body within Iorilla Forest as soon as possible as the current host body is a recently revived dead Burrowing Earth Badger and its basic abilities are listed as the following:

{System reboot complete, the host will be left with only the most basic support of the system after this introduction. That is all, for now, host, the system will be leaving you with a basic AI that every indigenous life form has when they are born on the Planet of Iaria.}
The functions of the basic AI include a mobile bestiary, a basic map and many more functions of which are available only when using the system such as now with the displaying and viewing of your currents stats. There is also an unlockable inventory function but that is locked until you discover a system recognised item that provides storage as well as transporting such as a backpack for storing and carrying items or a coin bag for the purpose of storing and carrying currency.}
That glorious light that lured you into a false sense of security vanishes the second that creepy voice in your head stops speaking. I stumbled away from where the light was as soon as I had control of my b..od.y... I pause for a second and then I suddenly scream.
"BODY... I have the body of a FREAKING ANIMAL!!!"
The last part of that train of thought came out in a banshee yell in my head but despite my body being obviously of an animal "type", the actual sound that came out sounded oddly human in nature... I try to look back at what seemed like a very long lucid dream I had but I get interrupted by... PAIN, PAin! Dammit, what the HECK hurts that bad. LIke seriously mate Zuldir buddy come on!!!
*gah*
I gasp and seem to instinctively grab the wound which just makes it hurt even more! I finally get a hold of myself and see that I am bleeding quite badly on my... Paws? and my torso area due to what seem to be fairly deep claw marks. After I discover this I start to try to think rationally and practically. I start to reach for the smallest but deepest wound with my only uninjured arm and start talking to myself to try to distract myself from the pain.
"First I need to pressure it with something. Though there seems to be nothing nearby from what I can see so I will have to make do with trying out dog and cat pressure point areas on a bushy-haired clawed animal thing... Oh god help me, please tell me this Zuldir's system is forgiving in nature when it comes to stopping bleeding! I am screwed otherwise!"
I start to mumble partly in shock and partly in pain while doing all of this poxy crap called first aid for animals ha.
"Come on system cut me some slack! You info bombed my brain and now expect me to stop the bleeding out of my own f**cking body. Heck, you probably think you are generous in giving me an hour and a bit of life to get that "potential" body of mine eh! I bet you didn't even think I needed food, water and shelter did you huh? AH!!!
I start to give in to despair despite my numerous attempts to be positive in my head when I hear that familiar games notification sound. Now is it a sound of hope or a sign of more devastating news? Find out next time on...
Sub-Skill Gained: Bleeding Countermeasure 1- Pressure Points- 5/5 uses left until 5% pain relief reduction is applied to the user.
90% chance to reduce bleeding frequency by 1 minute per heal, 10% chance to reduce bleeding frequency by 2 minutes per heal. This sub-skill set also greatly reduces pain and loss of blood for 3 hours on every use but you will start to gain immunity to pain relief if you overuse it. Can be used on multiple parts of the body at an increased cost.
