Willams looked at his status screen, a few things had changed since he last saw it, mainly his sanity meter, his Hateful Ee meter, and what he presumed to be the level of his skills, some things were obvious to him like the stats mind, sanity, and soul, however, he wanted to be correct and certain and not assume the wrong thing like a fool, deciding to start from the top he focused on his race and willed the system to explain.
race: Infant hateful astral spirit:
A rare sub-species of the spirit race typically formed from the fusion of a wandering soul from the astral plane, Anger Ee, and Determination Ee. Specializes in the use of Hateful Ee.
There was a lot to unpack here, first of all, he was a spirit, which explained why his body felt so strange and looked so strange and looked so strange, it also explained why he didn't feel any physical pain, just an odd numbness when he interacted with his environment he could already tell that his body wasn't physical when He figured out it was made of tiny motes that he could see rather than subatomic particles.
What was even more interesting, however, was the mention of hateful Ee, the fact that he had 1 unit of it now instead of 50 means that he used it, somehow, thinking back Willams remembered the odd feeling of something leaving him to coat the anger before he burst into flames, it had to be it, as he had no other resources that could be used, nor could be lost other than his sanity as using losing his sanity to perform supernatural feats didn't sound like a worthy trade to him.
He focused on the Hateful Ee tab next.
Hateful Ee:

Also known as hateful emotional energy, Hateful Ee is a type of Ee that has taken on the hateful attribute and is used by spirits to form a conduit for pure emotions such as anger, hate, etc... to flow through and interact with physical reality.
Unique to hateful spirits and other hateful aligned beings.
Willams understood some of what he read, it was saying Ee was a type of energy in this world and it was used by spirits to do supernatural things, and his type was hateful, which was a thing here, apparently.
Willams was so used to emotions being emotions that he felt a little shocked by the fact that they could be used to do supernatural things like manifesting fire.
'This is pretty wild stuff, and I'm sure this is merely the beginning.' The thought alone excited him, He knew that this was merely the tip of the incomprehensible iceberg he found himself on, it also caused a tinge of fear to rise within him, so many unknown and powerful entities could be waiting to reap his life at any minute causing him to constantly be on edge.
A quick look at his immediate surroundings eased his growing and sudden paranoia a little, there was no big bad monster or shadowy assassin waiting for him here, at least that's what he thought. That would have to be enough for now, as there was literally nothing else he could do, he had no control over the fire thing yet so he had no way to attack or defend himself plus he was pretty sure that asshole of a god wouldn't let him die so soon as he wanted more data.
He focused on the mind stat.
Mind:
A measure of how strong the first layer of the soul is, improves calculation speed, memory, and reasoning and makes it easier to form conduits.
It was basically this reality's equivalent of int or intelligence, satisfied, he moved on to soul.
soul:
A measure of how strong the second soul layer is. It also governs the strength of the soul core and Ee recovery rate, improves recovery speed, and reduces skill costs.
This was also what he expected, somewhat, it was the equivalent of vitality for spirits.
Willams was about to focus on the skill section when he felt a sudden shift in the motes all around him, seconds later a portal opened beneath his feet and sucked him in. He screamed wordlessly as he fell, the environment around him rapidly changed the further he fell, he glimpsed distant stars, dying solar systems, dying stars, and a duck with infinite eyes that stretched on into infinity, its eyes snapped in his direction as soon as he sensed it, seconds later his vision shifted again and he found himself on the branch of an unbelievably massive tree. The rapid change of perspective was maddening and it made his core hurt, Willams felt it throbbing in protest as he tried to move, but he had to see where he was. The spirit called upon his [Ee sight] skill, something that was instinctual to him since his arrival, and what He saw shocked him.
He saw no end, brown moted dominated his vision, with spots of green randomly mixed within, it was so thick that he could feel the motes pressing against his form with raw and pure hostility only to be gobbled up by his angry and firey motes as soon as they touched him.

As soon as he finished reading the strange message Willams felt the ambient Ee shift and churn but wasn't willing to stick around to find out what came after that, he got up and picked the direction that had the least motes and broke into a mad dash, seconds later, the wood he stood on exploded, sending splinters flying everywhere and creating a small crater as something landed on it, a slender cat-like monster with long ears crawled out and snapped its head in his direction.

'shit! shit! Move legs move!' Willam's feet exploded with fire as he ran for his life.
