Waking up I could tell something was strange.
Hmmm...why do I feel like I'm forgetting something? What am I? What is this place?
Everything is dark, or is it? I can't feel my eyes. Why can't I feel my eyes??? Where are they? Give them back!!!
[Command unclear. User, please try again.]
What now? User? Who's talking to me?
[Hello User, this is a personal system. You may register your name to bind it.]
Okaaay... Soo... my name is...uh what is my name? Arthritis, Art, Arthur..yeah Arthur! My name is Arthur.
[Congratulations Arthur, you are now the sole owner of the personal system. You can now access all of the basic tools and services. To upgrade your experience with the PS please consider buying the premium features. All Terms and Conditions apply.]
Terms and conditions? Are you bloody kidding me?
[Warning! The humour features are currently locked! To unlock them, please consider buying the premium package.]
Whatever. You know what? Why don't you just tell me what's going on?
[Host is currently a larvae Copepod in an ocean. Exact species unidentifiable.]
A what? System, define 'Copepod'.
[Copepods are a type of zooplankton, a planktonic crustacean distantly related to shrimp and crabs. They are one of the most common and easily recognized types of zooplankton, found in almost every ocean, sea, and freshwater habitat, even in underground caverns.]
Soo... I'm a living spec the size of a grain of sand? Great. Just perfect. Yaay me. So, my 'dear' System, what can you do for me right now?
[The Sytems primary objective is the betterment of the host. The secondary objective is to aid in the host's points of interest.]
Can you dumb it down a bit, please?
[The System will try to upgrade the host's body, mostly through {Evolution} or {Stat Enhancement}.]
Stat? Now if my weeaboo senses are correct... Status!

Holy sh*t! It's real! Wait, my stats look kind of abysmal. Well, I am a microscopic spec I guess~ I do have a free stat point so that's a bonus.
System, put the stat point into VIT.
[Error, Host body too weak]
Whaaat!?! That's bullsh*t! Well, no use crying over spilt milk. What can I do then? Hmmm~
[Prompt! The host is encouraged to gain XP in order to reach a level required for an {Evolution]. After reaching a certain species grade, Host may be able to use stat points.]
So how do I do that?
[XP can be gained either through specific actions or murder of other creatures.]
Why do I need to kill in order to get XP? That makes literally no sense whatsoever. Actually, why do I even try to reason this? I've been reincarnated into an f-ing subspecies of crab for f-s sake. Better just go with the flow.
Oh right, so how does a Copepod larvae even move? Can I even see?
[Host can move his body by using appendages to swim and can see. The host's eye is however very simple in structure and can only see in black and red.]
Eye? One not two? I have one eye?
[Correct.]
Uhh... cool I guess. Let's go find some food.
System, what do Copepod larvae eat?
[They eat phytoplankton and zooplankton, microscopic plants, and animals]
Long story short I'm an omnivore. At least that stayed the same.
Let's get hunting then.
