The first sight to greet me after death was not a skeleton with a scythe, nor was it the famed black doors. Rather, it was a bright utopia of luscious green grass and ginormous trees that pierced the heavens scattered in all directions. Hundreds of scents and sounds assaulted me, causing me to scream out in pain. Instead of my normal heavily drunk voice a high pitched roar escaped my lips, scaring me into oblivion and causing my roar to reach a new level.
*ROOOOOOOOAAAAAR*
I nearly jumped in fear as a scream hundreds of times louder than my own reverberated through the air behind me. Raising my head-Which oddly felt several times heavier, as if I was drunk- I turned to see a massive, 30ft tall red tyrannosaurus rex standing above me with a satisfied look in its eyes. If that wasn’t scary enough, three mini-rexs lay covered in blood beneath it. It took several moments for my mind to wrap around what I was seeing and several more for me to realise that I was still screaming. Once I stopped screaming a wave of exhaustion dropped my head in one blow, darkening my conscious and knocking me out.

The smell of fresh meat awoke me from my fitful slumber. Despite the terror I had experienced moments ago the gnawing grip of hunger in my stomach caused me to rush unsteadily and single mindedly towards the strong scent of blood. With a ravenous vigor I began to tear into flesh, screaming in joy as an intense taste assaulted my buds. Similar sounds of flesh being torn could be heard all around me, though none held the vigor I did.

In the midst of the carnage I failed to notice the multiple blue boxes that rapidly appeared in front of my face.

Once again I awoke to the smell of bloody meat, though this time I was not driven into a berserker-like state. I let out a sigh-Which ended up as a growl- and opened my eyes to the world around me. Massive trees, vibrant grasses and hundreds of different flowers beautifully orchestrated my first impression of the new world I had been cast in to.
*Crunch*Rip*Snap*Gurlge*
Even the terrifying sound of flesh being torn apart did nothing to dull the beauty the world had shown. Exotic birds flew high into the hair, twisting and dancing with each other as though it was a game. A herd of blue skinned beasts walked slowly past the river below, mingling with the various groups of dinosaurs before crossing it. Suddenly the world around me began to fall down as my body was thrust forward by a blood slicked snout. I turned to see the 30ft tall red T-Rex I saw yesterday standing behind me with one eye cocked curiously at me. Noticing the blood on its snout I realized that this creature was the one who hunted the game we ate yesterday. It didn't take long for me to realize that this was my “Mother”, a belief further insinuated by the oddly colored baby-Rex's eating the corpse of the Ankylosaurus. Having been a dinosaur lover as I child I memorized nearly every dinosaur that was big, vicious or strong. Or all of the above. Joining my “Brothers” in the feast I heartily munched on raw dinosaur meat, tearing apart flesh and muscles with my teeth.

Passive Learned: [Hardened Scales]
I gave a curious start at the floating blue boxes that appeared so suddenly in front of me.
‘Tail whip’? I thought aloud instantly. Instantly a mass of power began to gather in my body and slide down my back to what I presumed was my tail. I still hadn’t gotten a chance to fully adjust to my body nor see what I looked like yet. I knew for a fact though that without a doubt I was not a tyrannosaurus rex. I had long slender arms with four sharp claws that nearly touched the ground when I walked. I was a pale white in color, just a little bit darker than a full white would be. I stood on two legs which also had three talons at the end of them, with a fourth behind my “Ankle”. If I was to guess I would say I might have been a velociraptor, but I did not have the sickle toe they had.
Getting back to the problem at hand my tail was beginning to throb from how much power was gathering inside and I innately knew that if this kept up my tail would explode, or worse. I didn't exactly have full control over my body so using momentum as a weight I wobbily spun in a circle and fell to the ground, hoping that my tail would hit the massive tree behind me. With a thunderous *Bang* the power in my tail dissipated instantly, smashing into the hardwood tree and causing it to slightly shake. Almost all three seconds later something hard smashed down on the back of my head, nearly knocking me unconscious and dropping me to the ground. My eyes, which had a hundred times more clarity than my human ones had widened in disbelief at the large fur covered coconut that was less than a foot away from me.
‘Seriously!?! A fucking coconut almost killed me?’ I screamed internally, snarling my elongated snout in anger. I walked over to the coconut unsteadily, still disoriented from the damage it gave me. The world wobbled from side to side each step I took, and it took me about three minutes to reach the coconut.
I knew it would be impossible to open this coconut with my current strength. Coconuts were unusually dense and adding the fact that I'm a two foot tall unknown creature that is most likely a dinosaur but still two foot tall my odds of cracking it open are nigh impossible.
But that is without using the mysterious mass of power “Tail Whip” gives me. I wasn't exactly sure what it was or if it was dangerous, but I did know that it was strong enough to shake a 100ft tree.
‘Tail Whip’ I shouted in my head, feeling slightly ridiculous at the Phokemon sounding attack that came out of my lips. Once again the familiar mass of power began to gather in my tail, strengthening it to a scary degree. I turned my head back to see if I could see my tail-The last time I had tried my neck hurt too much- and what I saw shocked me. Nine rows of sharp spikes traveled down my back, each groomed backwards to perfection. Hexagonal scales lined my whole body, lying beneath the sharp spikes on my back.A single line of spikes rolled down the top of my tail, currently glowing dark orange;presumably from Tail Whip. All in all I was pretty sure I looked like a complete badass, though without seeing my face I couldn't be too sure.
‘Here goes nothing!’ Letting out a determined roar I smashed my tail on top of the coconut causing the ground around me to momentarily shudder before returning to normal. I turned around and to my shock the coconut didn't have the slightest dent in it. The ground beneath it was slightly cracked, evidence from the amount of force that was exerted from my tail. I was shocked. What kind of strength was this? Not even a week old yet I can crack the very ground I walk on?
What… what kind of creature have I become?
