Well that other name I thought of earlier was just an in-the-moment thing, I would rather it be less intimidating. You know, I want some connection to my previous life. I may have already given in to this one, but everything that happened there still means something to me. I will set it as Avey.
I suppose that will work.
Though I still killed a person.
He probably had a life. Family, friends, and things to do.
Sure, he tried to kill me.
But still.
Ughhh…
It is not time to get existential.
I guess I will check out these menu options. I have to get over myself.
So to start with…
Hmm…
Unknown woman: “I have been smelling this horrible odor in here for a few days, sir. No guard has checked it out yet, but I think it is related to the disappearance of Derek.”
Oh crap, people are here. And a guard no less!
Guard: “Well, I will check it out, but if it is related, I may have to refer to the higher-ups.
Oh crap, oh crap, the only thing separating them from seeing me is a single flap of wood.
Do I go for the door?
AHHG!
I am going to run, they will see me, but I will probably escape.
I take a step.
Unknown woman: “Did you hear that?!”
Guard: “There is someone in here. Probably a culprit.”
Guard: “Come out!”
I bolt out the door and turn right into a forest.
Guard: “A chicken?!”
As I run, I realize how much faster I am.
I am probably three times as fast as that guard.
If I am going to survive, I think I can kill humans.
Maybe being a chicken has changed some inherent moral compass, but I guess here, it is killed or be killed.
Not to be edgy or something, but I do have to survive. I will choose myself over them.
I still wish I never had to make a decision between this.
Amazing exp again, and a slight chance of death, seems fine.
I hate this stupid system.
I see the guard snooping around, looking for me. I have second thoughts after seeing his plate armor and sword.
I sneak up behind him eyeing the gap in his armor between his helmet and his chest plate.
*peck*
I am about to hit him when he flinches and snaps around instantly, blocking my attack.
What was that?! A skill?!
Before I know it, he has dashed to my side raised his sword, and attempts to strike.
The second I notice, he is too slow.
*POW*
I kicked him in the stomach, blunt attacks work better against that armor anyway.
Dramatically, he rolls across the ground and gets back up.
Guard: “Goddamn chicken.”
Oh come on, you were already trying to kill me. Probably. After I already killed a guy.
I mean, still! Come on, I also need to live.
He raises his sword up very high
Like that will do anything, he is like 5 feet away.
He lowers it, very quickly.
Wait where is he?
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
OW, FUCKING HELL!
I feel a horrendous amount of pain coalescing in my leg.
Except, my leg is no longer there.
“B-GAWWWWWK!”
I scream in surprise, ready to rip this guy's eyeballs out like the last guy.
I turn around, but he is already on the floor.
Sweating profusely.
Wow, what was that? Some fuckin’ ancient skill bullshit skill that seeps away your power?
I am essentially flexing over his body as I realize later that was probably a coping technique for the intense amount of blood loss I am experiencing.
???: “They went this way!”
Oh crap, that is probably more guards.
I guess I have to finish this guy off.
*peck, peck, peck*

I grow quite a lot. I would say I am 5’ tall now.
*ROAR*
I turn around and
Ohhh crap.
