Chapter One
When next she awoke, Haera was in a new body. She glanced down at herself to realize she was no longer Human. Her skin had changed to the dark violet of a setting sun and she no longer had feet in the traditional sense. Her legs had been inverted and now closely resembled those of a horse or a goat. She also had hooves now! She ran her slender hands up and down her body to memorize the changes. It wasn’t until she got to her face that she remembered she had horns too! From what she could feel, they resembled the horns of a ram but with sharper angles and the tips were sharp.
“This is going to take some getting used to.” Haera muttered and frowned.
It was at this moment that she realized she was completely nude. No hair on her body to cover up her sensitive bits either. She quickly looked around to make sure nobody was nearby and found herself in a forest glade in the daylight. She attempted to find the position of the sun but it was blocked by the trees. With nothing better to do, Haera began wandering the forest searching for anything to use for clothing.
She was lost in thought while searching that she never saw the bunny until it smashed its blunt horn right into her stomach.
10 Damage taken.
She bent over wheezing as the air was knocked out of her. With her attention returned, she was just in time to see the second hare zooming towards her face. As her eyes locked onto the rabbit, she got a pop up.

She quickly dropped her head as the information flowed into her and the Basher slammed right into one of her horns.
5 Damage taken.
The Basher dropped to the ground shaking its head as if it was dazed. Haera quickly grabbed it by the body and slammed it against a nearby tree.
15 Damage dealt.
Just like that, one of her assailants was dead. As she was congratulating herself, she completely forgot about the first one until it smacked right into her stomach again.

10 Damage taken.
Reflexively she grabbed at her stomach as she doubled over and accidentally caught the Basher as it was falling back to the ground. And then just as quickly she let it go as it bit her savagely.
10 Damage taken.
Haera then proceeded to stomp on the Basher mercilessly until it dropped dead.

Haera was breathless after her encounter. She dropped to the ground and was panting something fierce. She was in excruciating pain and couldn’t figure out why. She thought to check her status to see if anything was wrong. As soon as she thought it, the window popped up.

“Those rabbits took me down 40% of my health!” She uttered, astonished at how utterly outclassed she would have been if there were even just one more rabbit.
She couldn’t believe she had been dropped into this world without any starting gear or anything. It really seemed like she was saved from Earth just to die on this world!
If only I had an inventory or something.
And right as that word crossed her mind, a 5x5 window popped into existence, filled with food, water, tools and clothes.
“This world really needs a tutorial.” She complained.
After minutes of attempting to figure the inventory system out, she finally had the clothing in her hands and proceeded to put everything on. The undergarments were comfortable enough, but everything else was roughspun cloth. After she got herself more modestly attired, she looked at her tools as she snacked on some trail rations.

“Well I guess I can’t complain too much, this will help me survive until I can find civilization.” She muttered to herself.
Haera had been hunting before on her old world, so she was well versed in cleaning her kills. The only hang-up she had on these particular prey animals is that they had horns on their heads that the rabbits of Earth did not. She didn’t know what use they might be but she took them anyway.
