Chapter 1: Waking up in the Forest

Lucas woke up in a daze, feeling confused and disoriented. He was in a nest made of twigs and leaves, surrounded by a dense forest. He tried to move, but his body felt strange and unfamiliar. He looked down and saw that he was covered in feathers, with wings larger than his body. He was no longer a human, but a crow.

Lucas cawed loudly, hoping for someone to hear him and help. But there was no answer, only the sound of rustling leaves in the wind. He felt fear and uncertainty as he gazed at his feet with sharp claws and black feathers. He was now a bird in a world dominated by a mysterious Game-like System.

He spread his wings and took off, flying awkwardly at first but soon getting the hang of it. As he flew, he could feel the presence of monsters lurking in the forest. They were everywhere, waiting for their next prey. Lucas felt a chill run down his spine, realizing he was now the weakest being in this world.

Lucas landed on a tree branch, taking a moment to catch his breath and gather his thoughts. He remembered the Game-like System and how it worked. He needed to kill monsters to gain experience and level up, becoming stronger and more powerful. But how was he supposed to do that in his current form?

He closed his eyes, taking deep breaths to calm himself. He pushed aside the fear and doubt that crept in, focusing on his goal: to survive. He opened his eyes, determined to face the challenges ahead.

Lucas flew towards the nearest monster, a giant spider with sharp fangs and multiple eyes. His heart raced with fear and excitement as he approached it. He didn't know how he was going to do it, but he was determined to survive. He was ready for the fight of his life.
