I wake up, absolutely starving! I need to eat! I run around frantically skimming the grass until I see a caterpillar! It may be huge, but I swallow the whole thing in seconds.

Still hungry, I wander around until I find another grub on the ground. It was too big to swallow, so I pecked it three times until I consumed it in chunks.

As my instincts riled down I was wallowing in self-pity, traumatized by eating wriggling grubs. I can almost feel still writhing in my stomach. If I could throw up, I would. Eating them is so gross. But I can’t help it/. I run around, spotting a bug, I ready myself, then I realize, oh god. That is one big-ass hornet. It buzzes. I sprint away, as fast as my little legs can carry me. I have no idea why this hornet is so mad, I don’t think they would usually chase a chick! Oh god, he is catching up shit I am going to die! This wasp is in a total roid-rage tearing through the air to run my ass through! He’s close, he will sting soon! Side-stepping, I dodge the first attack. Then I realized something obvious. Brenda!
I howl, for all I know, the man on the moon heard me. “BRENDAAAA!!”
She jumps up from her sleep, and sees me, fuming, until she realizes I am being chased by the world's largest wasp. She lets out a war cry like a goddamn Viking berserker and sprints at a breakneck speed to me. She tackles the wasp and eats it.
Almost like she lacks all empathy she angrily asks me how I did this.
I wanted to yell at her, but if I did that it would not be her running that was breakneck. I manage to mutter out what happened and she accepts my reasoning and lets me go. Wow, what a bitch.
Well. What should I do? Go back to sleep? Oh wait, I should probably name myself.
I hear a ping.
Survived
Congrats! You survived a near-death experience!

Oh, a skill too, nice! So obviously Vitality is how tough you are, strength is, well strength, stamina is again, self-explanatory, wisdom, I'm not sure about, and agility is reaction time, speed, and whatever else. Wisdom does not seem important so I will go for… 0.005 in strength and vitality!

I instantly grow much taller. I feel substantially stronger.
I should do something about that name. What should I call myself? Something chicken-like, but if I am going to grow strong, then also intimidating, like a dragon's name! How about… Ithis! That sounds menacing! So, how do I change it? Uhm…
Change name! Name Change! Edit Name!
This is not working. Wait, I have an idea! Hey system, how do I change my name?
SYSTEM ALERT
You do not have proper permissions to name yourself in your current state. Full system access is acquired at level 5.
Well damn…
*creeee* the gate opens loudly
I turn, and it is, yet again, the kid along with who I am going to assume is his dad.
The kid is bubbling with excitement. “Do you mean it?!”
“Yes, yes, you can name one.”
The child is celebrating while the father corrals us into a line. I’m at the end of the line.
Ok, you are, Beth, Dora, Fred…
He goes through the line, and I think I am missing something, like, something important.
He points at me and goes, “Ok, you can name the last one, here they are.”
Oh no.
