Chapter 3: sweet dreams and bitter reality

A mighty warrior. wearing a pair of leather pants, and with a strap on his back carrying his massive sword. Which he carved out of a leg of a mountain golem. No armor covers this monster of a man as he walks unabated in the most dangerous of Forrest.

All beasts run at the sight of this man who can, with a gaze drive even specters away in fear. He marches bear foot in the brush uncaring of all environmental hazards. The trees even move out of his way as if even the plants don’t want to incur his wrath.

The man sees many valuable creatures golden lions, a Kirin and fairies. He also sees some beautiful plants of various colors and potent powers. Ingredients which can grant life to the dying, and with the right skill even create life.

Despite a large number of valuable materials. Many of which can drive even most countries green with envy. This man is not heard for a meager token like these things. What he wants is not an item but a fight with a powerful beast, or worthy foe.

As he crosses the threshold of a large valley. Ren's eyes lie on his true goal. A massive dragon covered in jet black scales and adorn with many horns. It stands defiantly at the man furious. “How dare this man who dares to invade his lair.” It seems to say as he stands there ready to destroy this pest. An excited smile spreads on Ren’s face as he reaches for his sword.

As the two battle, the mountains crumbled, new rivers made, and forest burned. All sound is blocked by the noise of the battle. For miles around the only sound to hear are the clash of sword and scales and the roar of a dragon.

The battle was well fought but Ren triumphed. Ren survived the fire of the dragon and clashed with his claw. With each tear into his side, Ren paid one in turn. The dragon falls to the warrior readies his final strike. As his blade cuts into the beast side, he sees a horror. From the cut comes a torrent of bees who swarm the warrior.

“ugh”

Ren wakes up in a dazed state to find himself lying in the morning sun. The smell of grass in the air. “oh it was all a dream.” Ren relaxes in the sun, and begins to nod off again. “did I leave the window open?” As he prepares to drift off to sleep, he once again hears the dammed noise. buzz

“Ah! It was you ren!” Looking up at the fly that landed on his nose. “It was you who woke me up!” Ren reaches out his hand to swat the bug, but before he can he notices something wrong. Wait a Minute, what is on my arm? Did I wear a coat to bead? Ren sees him, surprising small arm covered in hair. “Wait do I have claws!”

Alerted ren tries to stand, only to find himself unable to only causing him to fall back down. He notices he is cover in black fur. Then he notices that the is laying in the grass. “Am I outside? I don’t remember how I got here.” Ren looks around to see himself in a forest clearing. A small pond in the distance.

Ren slowly craws to the pond to look at himself. In the refection of the pool he sees, a bear cub with black fur with a white mark on this head. “This can't be this can be me.” He reaches to his face feeling the claws. “No, I am a man!” “Roared” In desperation, Ren tries to yell only to roar. “Sigh it is true.” Sitting at the end of the pond Ren calms down.

“Ok, how did this happen? I was sitting at a bus stop then that truck came to hit me. Wait no, I avoid that. It was that bee. I guess I am allergic to bees or was I guess. Why did I have to run? If I was a little braver I would have stayed. And even if I was stung at least someone could have helped me.”

“But what does that mean that Soul place exists? Well least I am a bear not something like a bug or a fish. Hey since I reincarnated does that means I have a power or something. Ok Since I didn’t see any boxes, I guess I don’t have a system. I guess I could have a power instead, but how do find it? “Ren proceeds to meditate while doing so realizes something.

“Wait a moment, if I reincarnated then where is the mother?” Ren contemplates this for a while until a more urgent matter is brought to his attention.

“Hmmm, I suppose I should start foraging. ren looks to the woods confused now where, and how do I find food? oh yeah, smell.”

sniff sniff

The abundance of smells revealed to him was like seeing in color for the first time. After a while, ren locates something a berry bush full of bright red berries. “Food!” Ren rushes to the Shrub. Desiring the upcoming feast.

He attempts to grab at them until he remembers. “Oh right, no hands.” Disappointed ren got to eat than from the bush with his mouth.

The sweet taste filling his mouth. Mmmm Ren goes to grab some more when he smells another sent. Ugh, What’s that horrible smell. It is then he hears a noise from behind.
