Day 1
'Ow... my head hurts like hell! I didn't imagine getting shot would be so damned painful. Damn, now I guess I'm going to die.'
...
'... huh? It doesn't hurt anymore? What happened? Last thing I remember I was at the ice cream parlour with Ken and Maya. Yeah, some random dude just came in there and started shooting. Ah. That's right, I got shot didn't I? Well that was anti-climactic. I always said I wanted to go out with a bang, I didn't mean it literally though.'
It was a bit dark and cramped. I could see faint outlines of a person walking by. I seemed to be in some sort of curtain, which meant I probably wasn't dead. Just in some hospital. If I moved, maybe they would see me and come cater for me. With that plan set, I began to shift.
'Super uncomfortable in here. Let me stretch out a bit.'
My body felt heavy and weak. I was tired, but I wanted to leave this case as soon as possible. I felt like I was suspended in something. I know I wasn't breathing through my nose, so how was I ok? My stomach. I could feel air entering my body through my stomach. That was weird wasn't it? Still not the problem here. I couldn't move. The only part that could move was my neck, so I used my head to hit the case.
I kept on hitting the case surrounding me with this weird mask on my face. It was almost like a dog muzzle.
As I pushed for hours non-stop, I could hear something cracking, and accompanied by those cracking noises, a bright light invaded the case, nearly blinding me. Still, I pushed through and finally broke free from the darkness.
Success had never been so blinding before. Sā sā, couldn't the world have welcomed me in a nicer way? My eyes hurt like hell, compelling me to shut them and blink rapidly. I fell out of my case onto the cold floor, my body wet and heavy.
[Reincarnation Process... Successful]
[Congratulations. Target has completed hidden quest: Birth of the Golden Chick]
[To congratulate Target, some higher beings have decided to gift Target]
I could hear a weird automatic voice resonating in my head, so I decided to open my eyes, even though my ear drums were pinging. I felt a bit dizzy so I simply shook my head and blinked a few more times. In front of me were screens with weird things written on them.
'What? A screen? What's happening right now? Re...in...carnation... pro...cess... successful? What is this?'
[[UNKNOWN] has decided to bless Target]
[Target has been blessed with unique skill [Evolver]]
[The Ancient Goddess **** has blessed Target]
[Target has been blessed with the unique skill [Voice of God]]
[Target has been given the unique skill [Analyst]]
At this point, my brain was trying to process a lot of things at a go, which should have led to me breaking to be honest. There was the mysterious screen in front of me and the weird voice in my head spewing complete crap. I could actually deal with those, I guess. Then there was my eyes. They were on the sides of my face, allowing me to see everything around me. I was horrified no need say.
I could see wet yellow feathers with orange scaly feet. I tried to move my legs, but the scaly feet moved instead. Not wanting to believe what I saw, I tried moving my wet, heavy, weak arm, which resulted in the wing moving.
'Huh?! No. What's going on? Why am I hearing a voice in my head? What are these weird screens? Why are my eyes on the sides of my face? Why do I have wings and scaly feet?'
