1.- Reborn
Eternal darkness surrounded me shortly after a truck ended my life...
I couldn't care less, that same day the police came and told me that my family had died.
They were on a plane, which exploded when it crashed into the ground shortly after a malfunction occurred in the engines, that is what they informed me when they gave me the news of the death of my parents and brothers.
In a daze I decided to go for a walk to clear my mind. I sat on a bench outside a park that was near my apartment and suddenly *PUM! * a truck ran me over.
Now I am in this infinite darkness, at some point I felt safe here, once I faced my existential problem.
*Cr-CRAK!!*
"Agh!" The world of darkness that surrounds me is filled with light shining from cracks that began to appear.
*Break!*
An explosion of light occurred and everything around me was clearly shown, I was not in infinite darkness but an egg and just hatched for some reason.
[Grow Strong, Powerful, Indomitable, and Unstoppable especially without chains that determine your destiny] A hoarse and powerful voice sounded over my head it repeated itself several times as if trying to instill it into my brain, but I just felt that it was a nuisance.
"Damn what the hell is going on!!" I exhaled from the pain I felt in my head because of the information that was bombarded into my brain from nowhere.
"System? ... Dungeon? ... Evolve? ... Status?!" When I said status a text box appeared in front of me, like a hologram. I've played several VR games, but it's still pretty strange, but I can accept coming out of an egg.
Now that I think about it, I have not seen what my body is like, moving my point of view I can now see that I am somewhat hairy with four legs... At least I am not an insect the size of a grain of sand.
I turn my attention to the text box and see that it is written in some kind of language unknown to me, but I still understand in some way what it is telling me.

My left eye spasmed after seeing the comment that was in my status, leaving my discomfort aside, I checked to see if my knowledge of stats was the same as the stats shown. To find out I had to concentrate my mind on the information section, which caused another tab to open with explanations.

[/////////////////]
So, I only have good agility, wisdom, and intelligence... I guess the last two came along with my soul... which is a strange thing.
Since I am now a cat, I suppose that I will have to humiliate any dog or living being that has a minimum relationship with a dog. If they manage to ask me why I will say that it is in my DNA... if I can communicate.
Turning my attention to my surroundings, I realized that I am in some sort of cave, but with a very flat ground... too flat to be natural, there are also some fluorescent mushrooms, the mushroom grew from the walls or the junction of the walls and the floors, I guess this place is covered by something, enough so that the mushrooms can grow on the walls.
These mushrooms illuminate a lot... AH NOT! It is my ability that makes it seem as if they illuminate a lot... I suppose they may illuminate a quarter meter of radius since they are mushrooms.
Looking down I noticed some small lines on the ground that shinned a blue color, which made the cave have a dark blue color from these lines... "!!!" Looking at them more closely, they looked like veins, and in the veins was some kind of liquid which was giving off the shiny blue color.
Taking my face from the ground, I could see that the cave has only two directions and both look the same... well not quite, one has more mushrooms on the wall than the other.
I decided to walk towards the direction that has fewer mushrooms, since I don't know if they are poisonous and I prefer not to find out the hard way.
It is rare to walk with four legs... but it is the same as walking with two, one does not think it and only does it. It is still complicated when my body knows how, but my mind does not accept the change, I seem to have legs of Spaghetti on how I move all the way, I swing from left to right.
I feel I have two left legs... Ha-ha yes, I do!
After a few minutes of walking through the cave, I got used to walking on all fours and swinging with my hairy tail.
Alex... Alex... Alex...
DAMN! I can't remember anything about my family or last name, I just know that I am Alex, a Striped Cat, once human.
...
…
Alex advanced through the cave while losing himself in his thoughts, but in the distance, another creature comes from the other side of the cave.
"ikik!!" A high-pitched squeak filled the cave when the creature looked at Alex, the creature's alarming shout returned Alex to reality.
The rat ran to Alex while showing his large front teeth and small claws on his front legs,
The rat looked to be the same size as Alex. Looking closely Alex noticed that it was not a normal rat. This rat has a small layer of stone as armor on his body and at the tip of his tail a stone blade that looks sharp.
The rat kept running towards Alex and jumped towards when he was close enough. Alex had been stunned in place when he saw how strange the rat is, but a strong tingling surrounded his body and caused him to wake up and move from his place.
Alex's fur began to rise as he hunched over. Alex's anger unleashed his ability [Intimidate] on the rat, but he didn't intimidate him in the least and instead of being scared his eyes showed contempt for Alex.
"Kuikiki!" The rat scream angrily from feeling mocked by Alex, it was not the first time that it happened to him. Before when he was a baby, an adult striped cat toyed with his whole family and with him, he only survived because the adult striped Cat got bored and left him. And now a young striped cat has just made fun of him. This caused the accumulated anger to break free from the rat and it began to take small leaps in its place of anger until it stopped moving...
