********************************************
3 weeks have passed since that day, lot of things have happened. Lots of things have changed in my life. Right now I’m moving through a deep forest east of Zuma, known as Akan Forrest. Miss Aby & her team took me under their wing, I was to follow them to their destination & then they will see what to do next. Frankly I was a little surprised when they told me to join them or rather Javel picked me up & ordered me to do so. Let me tell you, up-close he’s very scary...so I joined their expedition. Ever since that day Miss Aby would nag me & hit me on my head for no reason what so ever. I think that being pretty gives her some kind of right to hit me...*smack*...what??
Aby: “Come with me, boy.”
Me: “Why? Where?” *smack*
Aby: “Don’t ask unnecessary questions & quietly follow me.”
Me (rubbing my left hand on my head): “Yes Miss Aby...”
Lot of things happened after Elder died. I was bombarded with questions like “What were you thinking?” “From where did you get that weapon?” “How did you move so fast?” “What are you?” “What Rank are you?”....I mean so many questions...my head was spinning.
Finally getting cleaned from all that blood, I felt quite nice or peace whichever sounds good. I saw my reflection on the mirror. I was at a loss...I look completely different from any Zumas I have seen or met. I have a red slit pupil on white eyes, two short horns with black tip, light red body complexion with black streaks on my shoulder. I was also close to 5’8-9 ft tall. What is this appearance? Only one way to find out “Status”.

After cleaning up, I went to the Council hall to listen to the will Elder left me...of course my new guardians came with me as well...they said that they were just going to talk with Councilwoman Je’Lec about my situation but I know better...they want to know what how much fortune did Elder left me with... *smack* ahhh...
Me: “What?”
Aby: “You were thinking something bad about us...weren’t you??” small grin forming in the corner of her slender lips.
Me: “No...No...Absolutely not...how could I!?”I smiled innocently at her.
Aby: “Remember Boy...you are still inexperienced...everything you think or do will be known to us instantly...be careful...this forest is pretty dense...” her grin got mixed with her sharp eyes turning into one hell of a scary face.
Me: “Yes...I understand...Miss Aby.” looking down towards the earth.
Aby: “Now hurry up; we don’t have a lot of time.”
Upon reaching the Council hall, I met the Councilwoman, talked to her for a little bit. She was quiet shocked to see me...well everyone was so no big deal. Then handed me a paper & told me to sign it. It was Elder’s will. After reading & signing it she handed me a small triangular crystal, black in colour. She told me to drop some blood on a part of the crystal. I did what she told me, a screen came appeared.
ENTER THE DOCUMENT CODE:

Bloody little Monster
A young catkin finds herself stranded on an island without any memories of how she got there, or who she was before. With a lack of humans in the area and monsters looking to turn her into a quick snack, she has to do everything in her power to survive or face being brutally mauled to death. Thankfully, the strange System that she woke up with seems to be just the thing that can let her survive, and turn the tables on the monster, giving her the chance to turn the tides of survival and trample over the world with impunity.

Mail Fox Tales
When trying to save an injured animal while drunk you don't really expect many consequences. If you were sober, you'd likely expect to be saddled with a few bills and some work finding the owner.In either case, being saddled with divine duties by an ancient animal spirit is probably not amongst the things you expect. Neither did Eva when she picked up an injured canine after an evening out drinking with a friend to celebrate their arrival in Tokyo.At least those duties are little more than a part time job as a delivery-fox. And they come with room and board, as well as making her life that much more interesting.

I'm Always Talking to Myself
My name is Zach. I’m a typical bland featureless protagonist type. The kind of guy who has purposefully few defining characteristics so that people can project whatever they want on me. Like Luke from Star Wars or what’s her name from Twilight. Most main characters are like me. Kind of flavorless blank slates because we all secretly doubt that we’re Harrison Ford, but pretty much anyone could be Mitt Romney. Yep. Yes indeed, I do spend basically my entire life running an internal dialog to no one. Usually I’m imagining that there are people listening. Like maybe philosophers from Ancient Greece, or researchers from another planet who act suspiciously like the characters from that Instagram comic with the aliens. Stupid Instagram comedians stealing my internal monologue and turning into a wildly successful enterprise which I would imagine has a vibrant merch dropshipping arm and hundreds of thousands of daily dopamine hits for loyal followers. I basically spend all of my time explaining random things to imaginary people (and aliens, and animals, and household items which have inexplicably gained sentience and frankly have some concerns about this whole existence thing). Honestly, it’s both highly entertaining to me, in that it makes me think about why we humans do all of the bizarre things that we do, but also horrifically exhausting and kind of makes you feel like you’re either, worst cast, losing your grip on reality, or best case, becoming Abed from Community. Anyway, I’m sure that I have some distinguishing characteristics, but, in the interest of hypnotic suggestion I’m choosing to omit them until I’m pretty sure that you have subconsciously come to identify with me, or until I feel like it. (By the way, in case I forgot to mention it, a higher power called Aww Thor or something told me to say that this is a slice-of-life comedy adventure and that it's set in a fantasy world with isekai and LitRPG elements.)
