Chapter 1 - What the hell?

"Ughhh my head is going to explode"

I felt as if the world was spinning around me, my head hurts as if a thousands nails were being hammered in.

"Wait... Whats is this place"

A dark place, with almost no visible light than a tiny fire coming from what i believe is a torch?. I try to get up, but ifeel as if i am not used to my body, which is completely strange since i had gone to sleep late because of work a while ago.

Could it be that I got sick?.

Maybe, i haven't been eating well for a while, and i haven't been sleeping much because of the new project we were working on.

"Haaa... who cares about the new project, now the most important thing is to know where i am".

I try to stand up for the second time and notice that i have become shorter? I mean i'm not very tell, i'm 5'58 feet tall, but I still feel like I'm a head shorter.

"And what is this feeling on my back?".

I am starting to worry, first I wake up in... What is this place by the way?,It's still dark but why can I see as if it were day?, How did I end up in a cave? Has someone kidnapped me? No, it is not possible, if it were a kidnapping,they would not have gone after a young man, who only started working a year ago and had no family who could pay the ransom. Furthermore, the kidnappers would at least be in the vicinity making the call to ask for the ransom... and I can see that there is no one here but me.

"whatever the first thing is to figure out what is happening to my body".

"And what is this sensation that I have in the lower part of my back?".

After going to look at what was bothering me at the bottom of my back, I suddenly freeze at the claws? that appear before me.

"Are these... claws?".

Some claws, or a mixture to be exact, the claws had the appearance of a rat's claws but mixed with the shape of a human, only one finger was missing and they seemed a little more muscular.

"I definitely have to be dreaming because I'm tired".

Yes, that is the only possible explanation for why my hands have suddenly become like those of a beast character from some RPG game. I knew this wasn't a dream,especially because I still feel the dry ground under my... feet? If I can still call them that. Equally fanciful in appearance as my hands, my feet resembled a mixture of a human's and a rat's.

"And of course there it is, I have become the ninja turtles' master splinter... "

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

A tail, a rat's tail is the only possible explanation and if we have to be exact it is the tail of a rat of at least 4 feet or so. I feel dizzy, I thought that at least I would become,

I don't know, an elf, a demon capable of wielding immense powers, or even an ordinary human would have been enough, but a rat? Well, I guess luck isn't a very high value in my state right now.

By the way, I don't have a status window? An ironic system that laughs at my situation? Or even a pre-recorded message from the being that brought me into this world out of its own boredom would also work for me.

After a while of waiting saying every word of a game, comic, light novel, and even anime that I could think of, it doesn't seem like any of that is going to appear.

"Shit... I'm screwed",

there's nothing, not even a single clue to help me figure out why I'm here, in this cave, in the body of a wererat without even a simple... rag or whatever this species uses. And for a while now I've been hearing that stupid noise of... footsteps.

It's true, I've been hearing footsteps in the distance for a while as if several things were moving. How could I have escaped? Well... I've been busy for a while shouting every word I could think of to invoke something to help me. Without any success by the way.

"Should I get closer to the noise?".

Well, I'm already in this world, with this body, and if I don't move, I'm most likely going to die of hunger or be attacked by a fantasy beast, because let's be honest, if there are rat people, why wouldn't there be a dragon or some monster? worse?. Just thinking about it gives me chills and makes the hairs on my body stand on end.

Stupid, yes, is the only word I can think of right now to describe either my situation or myself. After having made the decision I have gone to the source of the steps, And there they were, like a flock of sheep, or a pack of dogs, were my new brothers?.

With the typical colors of a rat, they marched through the darkness of the cave, all heading to the same place, it seems. It should be noted that what draws the most attention about this species of rat men would be their eyes of different tones, some green like emeralds, others red like blood and others black almost like coal.

But there is something, yes, something different, I have the feeling that this species is not as peaceful as they seem. After looking around me it seems that a group of them has noticed me, are they getting closer? Right now I feel curiosity and fear in equal parts. Especially because I just saw how one of them ripped off the ear of another of their group.

"How am I going to communicate with these things?".

Ah, they seem to make sounds like rats I see, I still don't understand them, of course I wasn't going to understand them, a moment ago I was speaking English, I can't get my master's degree in rat in... I wonder how much time has passed in the earth?.

"grrrrr", Was that a growl? Is that thing challenging me? From the glow in his red eyes and the way he growls at me it seems to be the case. Shit, what do I do now? I have never fought in my life as a human, much less in the way I am now.

"hisss", While I was thinking of a way to approach the situation, a claw shot out at my face, "shit", with an unconscious and clumsy movement I managed to avoid the claw of that thing.It seems that I have no choice but to defend myself, well even if they leave me badly injured, one or two cuts will take away, that's what my father taught me before he disappeared.

"come here stupid thing, let me teach you a lesson".

Who am I kidding, I'm scared shitless, that thing looks like it has killed one or more rats.

suddenly when the thing was about to jump at me a explosion sound echoed from where I could see was the exit of the cave, the things that were going to attack me froze for a moment, afraid? I could feel a flash in their eyes for a moment, and as if they had agreed, they all walked again in the direction of the large group they separated from.

"Ugh, that was close".

After recovering from the shock, curiosity invaded me again, where are all those rats going? It seems that I will have to walk towards where they are all going, after crowding into the large group of rats, the exit was becoming increasingly clear, and when I got a glimpse of the exit a feeling of fear and surprise invaded me after observing what there was. outside.
