I walk towards the edge of the arena and sit down, letting my legs dangle over the edge as begin to ask every question I can think of to this tutorial.

"First question what the hell happened to me?" I ask as i think back to the confusion of the past few days and everything that's happened. I remember my fur and short stature as well as the rabbit and almost dying instantly.

{You have been reincarnated. In your old world you died in a very boring way. You knocked over a bottle of soda and it just so happened to hit a live wire. You barely even knew what happened but somebody up top thought you deserved another chance to have a better life so you were brought to Garthia. It was chosen because of your love of gaming and want of adventure as well as freedom.}

As the tutorial finishes explaining I sigh a little at the thought of me dying in such a stupid way but if I have to admit it, even with all the death and fighting i actually enjoy this world more than my old one. I don't have to worry about food or rent or landlords anymore i can just live and make myself stronger. After accepting the fact i ask my next big question to this cocky annoying thing.

"Who or What are you exactly?" I demand angrily, my eyes focusing into a glare at the empty air in front of me.

{I am a tutorial but I am also kind of like a guide as well. You don't have to talk out loud also i can hear your thoughts and I apologize for my rudeness it just gets so boring never having anyone to talk to. So as I was saying i guess you could kind of think of me as a god in this world. But not like god with a big G just a minor god who's struggling. My name is Toma and in this world I am the god of inventiveness. Basically I like to help all the creative little guys like you have good ideas like throwing hard fruit at a rabbit or making an ogre into an intelligent being. My job is to find things in the world that can help you or hinder you then challenge you to do it. By no means do you have to but c'mon look at this scenario. You didn't HAVE to come down here and kill the rodents. They were just wyrmlings, barely even considered sentient but you guys decided to come see what it was all about. You accepted the challenge and in exchange you got yourself two new vassals and a pet. Its a reward system kind of but i can only control some of the rewards s you need to be lucky!}

I flinch as Toma explains how he's a god but as i continue reading I realize this situation isn't as horrible as i thought. After a few more minutes of reading I'm ready for one of my last questions. 'Toma....what do you want with me exactly?' I think at him and wait while he makes random thinking noises.

{That's a tough one to answer, you see my following as a god isn't very high so i don't have a ton of power....So when i was put in charge of you I tweaked the rules a bit. Most of the gods in this world are mainly powered by human followers or other civilized races. Monsters though aren't all that devoted to anything other than survival plus there are way to many civilized races now. There's no creativity anymore its the same old thing over and over. Soooooo I chose to make you a gremlin, one of the races inspired by me, and just hope that maybe you could help me and vice versa?}

Toma's voice goes from an explanation to a question as i realize that this god is exactly where i was back in my old life, desperate, weak, and begging for help. After thinking for a few minutes I take a deep breath and agree to try and help him but he has to actually give me clear guidance from now on and stay out of my head. After agreeing he tells me of my level ups and I find out that other than the two new people everybody got stronger from this. I gained three whole levels while Wug gained a single one and the wyrmling went from level one to four. After thinking about it I ask Toma if he can give me a status with just my stat points. he says sure and afterwards I'm surprised by what I see.

[Name-Noortain Level 6]

[Race-Gremlin]

STR-8

CON-9

INT-13

AGI-12

Not to shabby if i do say so myself. Once I'm done with this i thank the voice in my head and walk back over to my...friends? My party? Maybe my minions? I'm not to sure at this point but i know Wug's my buddy and the wyrmling doesn't seem so bad. I'm not to sure about Mog and Pearl yet but they are my companions so I'll treat them like friends until they betray or abandon me. Once I rejoin the group i walk over to the wyrmling and put my hands on her shoulders and look her directly in the eyes.

"So I was thinking, and after watching you fight I think it's time you had an actual name instead of the wyrmling. I think Sheer is a good one, what do you think?" I ask her seriously as i smile watching her squirm with a look of joy on her face. After a few moments she finally nods in agreement and walks away saying her new name under her breath. Now that the naming is settled i look at my new friends and say something everybody loves to hear.

"Guys....it's time to gather the loot and go home!" I announce watching everybody smile happily. suddenly I'm lifted off the ground and land on my back, staring up at a happy lizards face that continues to drown me in drool.
