17 That time I was reincarnated as a Crow!
I didn't even have anytime to yell or well squawk in protest and I flew through the golden portal. I don't know what happened after that because I passed out...

A loud ding stirred me awake and I saw the familiar golden screens from Syntax. It updated? I took a look at the update and was very very shocked.

I could level up now?! Doesn't that make it harder for me to get stronger? And all my skills and titles were gone even the ones pertaining to my mother and the skills given to me by my mother. The only one that was erased was Goh-rye-oh and even then it was sealed...
I sighed heavily but more screens popped up, screens I liked.
[Skills gained: Breakdown, Molecular Analysis, Transmutation, Barrier, Peck, Talon Slash, and Crows Vision]
[Updating status to fit this world's standards...]
I stopped looking at the notifications and decided to explore wherever I was, which was a giant fucking cave...yay.
It was very dark, but with the help of [Crows Vision], it made it a little easier to see. I decided to check out the description of my new skills just to familiarize myself.
[Breakdown: Whatever you eat you can break it down to it's molecular composition]
[Molecular Analysis: Allows you to understand the molecular makeup of anything you consume or touch]
[Transmutation: Allows you to transform one element into another as long as you understand the properties of both]
[Barrier: Allows you to create barriers]
[Peck: Allows you to use your beak in a piercing manner]
[Talon Slash: Allows you to slice things with your talons]
[Crows Vision: Allows you to see further. Can be increased with the use of more magicules]
Oi, isn't [Breakdown], [Molecular Analysis], and [Transmutation], like copies of Rimuru's skills? They function in the same way, not that I'm complaining, that's the main reason why he is so strong. Anyways, after checking out my new skills I decided to eat a bunch of random shit. I ate a rock, it was kinda hard to swallow, but I learned the properties of the rock and when I ate this blue grass, I was able to transform a nearby rock into the blue grass.
I ate more random shit and even ate Magic Ore, Hipokute Herbs, and two materials I've never heard of, Yinsteel and Moon Lotus. Apparently, Yinsteel was like Magisteel but pertained to ice related equipment, and Moon Lotus was a plant similar to Hipokute Herbs only it replenished magicules.
I continued my way through the cave, making sure to avoid any super dangerous monsters but I'm sure they noticed me they just didn't want to bother themselves with a weakling. I got tired of flying and perched on a small rock. I played around with [Transmutation] and wondered if I could combine Magic Ore and Yinsteel along with Hipokute Herbs and Moon Lotus, I will achieve it eventually it's just magic materials are so complicated.
As I was playing around, I heard movement behind me. I immediately went on guard, and I saw a collection of rocks flying at me. I created a barrier to block the attack and the attacker was a small rodent with rocks taking place for it's fur. It squeaked at me, and I immediately got annoyed because I'm sure it was saying something rude.
I removed my barrier and flew towards the rat at my fastest speed. It followed my movements but I didn't care and used [Talon Slash], only for my talons to do nothing against it's rocky defenses. I clicked my tongue and dodged another rock attack. I dived down and used [Peck], but that hurt me more than it hurt the goddamn rat.
Incredibly irritated I tried slashing it with my talons again but I used more magicules, and surprisingly I managed to draw blood. I smiled inwardly and dived down using [Peck] with a lot more magicules. My beak managed to pierce it's body but it swung it's rock tail on my head and I was stunned for a moment. It used that brief moment to jump back and squeak at me again.
I flew towards it again and it fired another rock attack, I blocked it using a barrier, and had a bright idea. I landed on the ground and picked up a rock, I threw the rock at the rat and once it opened it's mouth to eat the rock I summoned a barrier inside of it mouth, making it explode in a glory of brains, entrails, and blood.
[100 exp gained]
[You have leveled up!]

Nice! I decided to invest 3 points into AWR and two points into AGL. After distributing my stat points, I went over to the dead rat and ate whatever was left of it.
[Rock Rat consumed!]
[Skills gained: Rock Slash]
[Traits gained: Rock Skin]
My feathers felt like molten lava was being sprayed on them and my black feathers gained pieces of rocks on them until you couldn't see my feathers anymore. Birb statue! Anyways, after having a bit of fun I travelled deeper into the cave, I ate a lot of Hipokute Herbs and Yinsteel although I didn't really need to as long as I had a nearby object nearby I could make them at any time.
Soon, I found a small lake. I took a drink of the water and found out it was full of magicules. When I recreated it, it just turned into regular water much to my dismay. Just as I was about to fly away a giant tentacle thing shot out of the water and wrapped itself around my leg, bringing me into the water. Once I was inside of the water, I cut the tentacle off with my talons and I saw a giant fish at the bottom of the lake. It was swimming upwards at crazy speeds and before I could react I was swallowed.
Not wanting to be inside of it's stomach, I used my talons on it's throat to stop my fast descent. I heard the creature make a noise and I created the largest barrier to date and decapitated the fish, dickhead. I swam out of the water and my feathers didn't get wet because they were rocks now.
[400 exp gained]
[You have leveled up x2]
[+2 All stats, +10 SP]
I put 3 SP into VIT, 6 SP into INT, and 1 SP into STR. I felt some weird shit happen to my body and it lasted around 10 minutes. After doing that, I flew back into the water and ate the entire fish.
[Lake Dweller consumed!]
[Skills gained: Water Cutter]
[Traits gained: Gills]
My neck was soon on fire and if I could screen I would. This pain was more than before and I was writhing on the ground for God knows how long. After the indefinite amount of time, I saw that I had three inlets on each side of my neck. I went underwater to test and voila, I could breath underwater. I hopped out of the water and continued exploring until I heard a loud roar.
'Nope, not going that way!' So I changed directions! (I'm so lost...đ)
