"Welcome to the afterlife...Kevin" The alexa sounding female voice was slightly soothing. It was nice to see something I could relate to in this weird place.
"Nevermind that kevin! "The after life what do you mean? and how do you know my name?"
"I am the person assigned to you. I guide and help you through your lives."
"Oh, really? I was scared there for a second..."
"Wait a second, LIVES?"
"yes"
"as in L I V E S?"
"Yes."
Before I could respond again I hear some scribbling and hear mumbling "Chance of retardation and or autism due to reincarnation shock."
"Hey!"
Whatever! I should at least try to dig some info from her before I continue. Wait, now that I think about it this could end up being fantastic! A freindly goldmine of information just appears as soon as I'm disoriented!I should be freindly.
"so who are you? and where am I?"
" You are in what you humans called pangaea. The organisms that reside here call this place the "wildlands" there is no name for the planet, and there are five continents all around the same size as this one."
...
"By the way you can call me anything you want to."

Vas ran down the golden hall as fast as possible. Just before hitting a sprinting speed he recognises a familiar golden engraved door. He stops and finds his breath before looking at the engravings on the wall and the gigantic doorway that could easily fit an elephant. Calming himself he slowly opens the door and walks down the hall before kneeling before the king.
The hall was painted gold and a jeweled chandelier was dangling off the ceiling of the hall. It gave off an aura of power while also emmiting an aura of wealth and complexity. Perfectly portraying two thirds of the kings personality.
As he thought this he allowed himself a quick grin before looking up to meet the gaze of his majesty. With a bored face and a lazy flick of his wrist he signalled for the messenger to stand. "speak"

"bad or worse?"
"bad"
"My lord there have been repeated spottings of monsters in large groups heading south."
"Ok not that bad... The worst?"
"The smallest group had an estimated army of five hundred and seventy."
The kings eyes widened in suprise. "what types?"
"E-rank my lord."
the king relaxes himself in his chair and sighs. "ok so its not that bad. Just have the scouts watch them. We will know when to strike."
Vas bows and leaves the hall.

"So I'm guessing I gain levels by killing other beasties right?"
"correct"
Hell yeah! Just thinking about this makes me want to spring into the air in excitement!
But before that...
"stats"
----------------------------------------
Kobold
Rank:E
Job:None
Level:1
Allies: "unnamed"
Skills: claw swipe, bite
Mutations: none
----------------------------------------
Skills eh? heh heh this is gonna be fun. If I am correct you can probably just get skills by doing certain actions! Hmm lets test it.
I slowly crawl up behind a suprisingly muscular white rabbit. stalking through the underbrush I get 4 no 3 no 2 meters away from it. I could probably pounce at it from this far away!
suddenly
[skill gained: stealth lv 1]
I jump up raising a fist in excitement.
the rabbit notices the suddenmovement and flees.
Well it doesnt matter! I gained a skill! Stealth, This IS a new world. Cool!
lets check it out.
[stealth a skill that gives knowledge to the users mind and instincts to allow them to move making less noise and motion to others]
hell yeah!
I repeat this process but this time pouncing and using my claws to tear into the rabbits flesh. before it can counterattack I hit an artery. In an instant the rabbit turns into a hose of red fleshy grossness in my hands. Slowly it runs out of blood and I take a bite out of the rabbit.
Kobolds don't need to cook right?
As I think this a popup appears. [mutation points gained for eating new species = 1] [prarie rabbit small but muscular creatures with white glossy fur. No racial skills] [mutation points gained from eating the monster = 2]
oh, cool?
I look at my stats again.
"Oh yeah I hadn't noticed that before what are these?"
"thse are mutation points use them to enhance your body."
"GASP"
"en, en, en, ENHANCE MY BODY?"
"yes"
"can you persay, enhance organs?'
"yes"
...
...
I make a mental note. (prioritize mutation points, height, and girth)
