I feel myself waking up, but since the feeling of just waking up and then falling asleep again is amazing I drift back off. I once again wake up but this time decide to open my eyes, in order to see my situation. I mean I did die after all, it's kinda obvious. I mean there is no way a doctor could have saved me in that situation, I'm guessing that I was shot and that the bullet went straight through my chest. The only doctors near me would have been the off duty ones that didn't have any tools to work with, I mean who would let sharp tools into the Royal Palace?
I open my eyes and find myself in a forest. A big forest. I mean a VERY big forest. The trees look to be higher than twenty five meters and they were a bit over a meter thick. Well this is very confusing, I know I died so why am I in a giant forest? Well it's not like I don't like forests, actually I find them rather soothing. Well anyway besides the forest, there's an even bigger problem. Something's wrong with my body, my arms are freakishly long and have long, thick, white claws on them. It's the same with my legs too, freakishly long with claws. Now that I have a better look at myself, my skin looks as if it has never seen the sun and my hair seems to have grown to about waist length. The colour seems to have changed too, since it's all grey with black patches.
I think I may have heard of this type of situation before. I believe this is a type of reincarnation. Yep that's the only possible solution I can think of. Now that that's out of the way, what should I do? There's still too much left unanswered.
"SIGH"
I'm feeling tired. But there's one thing I heard about that I want to try. I heard that there are stories of people going to game like worlds and getting "status screens" that show your "stats". In order to test this I focused on the words status screen in my head.
DING
It actually worked!?

I see. It appears that I am incredibly slow right now. I can use magic though, that's pretty cool. But how? It says gravity manipulation, so do I just imagine gravity bending to my will or something???
Eh. Whatever I'll look into it later, for now I need details. Then I need a nap. I tried moving my hand over to the screen, it looked as if I was moving in slow motion. After half a minute of struggling to move my hand I decided to just focus on what I wanted to know about. Surprisingly enough it worked.
