Sitting on the sidewalk next to an empty alley was a young girl around the age of 6-7 years old. She had short brown hair and eyes as well as ragged clothing. Hold a bowl with a small crack.

At the end of the day when the sun had set the girl had to go into the alley she was sitting next, limping on an injured leg. Towards the back of the dirty alley was a slightly fat man as well as other small children sitting behind him. When she walked up with her bowl he had quickly snatched it out of her hands. Looking inside the bowl that had only a few quarters and dimes.
Furiously taking the coins out of the broken bowl and stuffing it in his pocket, he began to start yelling, "WHAT'S WITH THIS MEASLY AMOUNT OF MONEY!" He then grabbed her by her hair and threw her a couple feet to the ground. AGHK!! Anger and fear spread throughout her when she saw him walking closer with an angry face. Once he stood about 6 inches away from her, had kicked her in the stomach with enough force to make her cough blood and skidded across the floor as she fainted.

Experiencing the cruelest of the world since being abandoned by her parents and taken by the underworld doing different jobs and risking her life. She thought about going to heaven and finally being free from this cruel world. She had opened her eyes to only see pitch black darkness surrounding her. She wondered if she had gone to hell, however she soon ruled it out because it was warm and comfortable, giving a feeling of comfort, her mind was fading.
A long while passed and it had gotten harder and harder to move around and breathe. She struggled to move for more space and heard a sound that had startled her. CRACK! A hole had broken and bright redish orange light blinded her. She started to struggle even more due to the blinding light.
CRACK!
CRACK!!
CRACK!!!
She moved out of the large hole that had broken and her eyes that finally adjusted to the light started to open. She looked behind her to see a shattered shell with clear confusion. 'did I just come out of a shell?' ding! she looked forward and saw a clear blue rectangle that had said:
[Notice]
[Host has been reincarnated as a young parrot in a forest called "The Forest of Secrets" Host should call 'STATUS' to see more information about host's new form.]
Once she read the notice she was ecstatic. She was granted a new life. 'What's a status- ' When she thought about the word status, another rectangle had appeared but this time it was a different color, a light brown/tan color.

She had roughly understood what her status meant. Thought as she wondered why she was so weak, she looked at her hands (wings) but it barely had any feathers and she couldn't just grow a bunch of feathers. And in that train of thought she realized she didn't and couldnt fly from the tall tree to get any food or water. Her face darkened as beads of sweat started dripping, 'WOULD I JUST SIT HERE AND DIE?!?!?!? NONONO THAT WOULDN'T HAPPEN...' In the corner of her eye she saw a little caterpillar nibbling on a leaf.
"I have to eat that.....?" she said while staring at it she gulped in disgust when she had thought of eating its gooey organs.
[Mission: eat as many bugs that pass bye as you can until becoming a young adult parrot. Rewards: +20 system points, + 5 status points]
"NOOOO!!!!! I have eat bugs till I become an adult parrot?!" Slowly moving towards the caterpillar, she used peck on the bugs head and it was instantly killed. She had frowned on the inside seeing her small beak having bug innards on it, but she had to ignore it and start eating. Trying her best to eat the caterpillar whole.
[Killed level 1 Caterpillar gained 5 exp]
"I got 5 exp? Maybe eating bugs was actually worth it to eat." However she was so focused on everything that happened that it had already turned dark and she heard hundreds of buzzing sounds. 'What's with that buzzing... it's kinda annoying.'
[Notice: swarm of level 1 horned beetles flying in this direction]
She got scared reading the notice and looked side to side and indeed there were hundreds of black beetle flying and were barely noticeable in the dark night illuminated by the moon. She was about to hide but then heard the system again.
[Notice: level 1 horned beetles can be killed using peck to break their shell armor. Recommended to kill the horned beetles]
With the system telling her how to beat the horned beetles in the easiest way, she gained a little confidence that she could kill them and gain more exp. She started hiding in a corner of the nest waiting to make a sneak attack on an unsuspecting beetle. The swarm got closer and closer till they were right above her and the nest, making an incredibly loud buzzing.
Watching the beetles that were closest to her she was ready to use peck at any time. Then, used peck on one that had been flying slower than the rest and made it fall into the nest weak but still alive. Using peck again killing the beetle.
[Killed level 1 horned beetle gained 5 exp]
[Leveled up to level 2]
[Peck has leveled to level 2]
[System Store has been unlocked]
She continued to kill the beetles left and right gaining exp and leveling up her skill and ignoring the system store since she had to system points to spend anyways.
