Albert is walking to the store to buy some food, he is usually at home on holiday.
When he was done with buying food from the store he got a message from his best friend.
His best friend told him that he wanted to invite him to a college reunion.
He didn't want to go since there are some faces that he hated, but his best friend begged him to come.
'Well, I'm not doing anything at home anyways I should go'
With that in mind he got home quickly, and find a decent outfit for himself, he then took his cellphone, motorcycle key and then go to the meeting place.
It was a karaoke place.
'This is it...' Albert was in front of the door to the reunion, he took a deep breath and then entered the room.
He was greeted by lots of people, but the faces that he remembered were only his best friend.
'As for others... who are they?' Albert was alarmed, he was going to leave the room but the door was already locked.
And then suddenly he was grabbed from behind, and there was a knife in his neck.
He didn't dare to move an inch.
"This... what are you going to do with me?" Albert asked nervously, the blade was so close to his neck, that blood started to flow.
"You don't know?" the guy who is beside Albert's best friend spoke.
From the look at it that was the boss of this group.
"Let me tell you... your friend sold you!"
Albert was shocked he then looked at his best friend.
He can't believe that his one only best friend does this.
They were friends from childhood, and always helped each other, he thought their bond was special.
This was unexpected.
He was devastated that his friend suddenly betrayed him, he was the only friend he had when he was in the orphanage.
Never he would think that he was sold easily by someone he trusted with his life.
He was like a brother to Albert.
"Just obediently follow me and I will not harm you, how about it?" the leader said with a smile.
Albert was too shocked by the events, that he didn't reply.
He then realizes he was going to become those people's property.
'I'm going to become a slave for this people?' Albert was depressed.
"Sigh, bring this guy to the other room I need to talk to this guy first, his debt is not done yet."
With that, the knife on his neck loosened.
"Don't worry! There is one more! I'm sure she will be to your taste!"
"I hope so."
When Albert heard that he fury began to well up inside him.
Because the girl that his best friend said, is probably the one he knew, that girl who always hanged out with him, and always helping him when depressed.
The goons were about to just take him away.
But, In that instant of weakness, Albert stole a knife from the goons and ran straight to him
"I WON'T LET YOU, YOU SON OF A B*TCH"
Albert sliced his best friend's neck with the knife and then started to go on a rampage.
It was so sudden but the boss managed to escape and was protected by those goons.
After killing his best friend he ran to the leader of the goons with a knife.
'Before I die I will take you with me!'
His body is slashed by a lot of knives, but it wasn't as fatal to kill him.
Because of that he dashed once again but stopped midway, he fell to the ground.
all the guards relaxed, they thought Albert was finally dead, but they are wrong.
Albert sprang to the boss and then stabbed him rapidly on his neck.
"DIE, DIE DIE DIE DIE!"
He was pretending to be dead just a moment ago to surprise them.
Everyone took a step back, they were afraid that they would be next, but Albert took his best friend's phone, unlocked it, and then texted Amanda his best friend that was going to come here.
He then typed "The reunion was postponed until tomorrow, so Don't come here."
After making sure the message was sent he crushed the phone until it breaks.
He was about to get up, but one of the goons stabbed him from behind.
he then fell to the floor with his eyes open.
***
When he opened his eyes, he was in an unfamiliar place.
he tried to move, but he felt like he rolled.
Huh... I'm not dead?
when he moved around more he realized something...
'I'm an egg!' Albert was shocked he can't believe that he got reincarnated!
he then remembered that his best friend betrayed him because of his debt. He can only feel bitter inside.
But now that he is in a new life, he needs to move on.
'I just hope Amanda was safe and sound.'
Now that's out of the way...
'I must get out of this egg, my new family is waiting for me!'
He decided to forget everything that happened before since he already did all the best he can do.
Even though he became an animal he was fine with it.
He tried to break the egg to go out, but it was very hard.
'Sigh I'm tired, I guess ill sleep for a while and then try again later...'
he then fell asleep
***
When he is finally wake up from his sleep, he tried to break out the egg again.
cracks started appearing on the egg and he started to see the light.
'Final push!'
He bashed the egg once more and then he is finally out.
When he looked around he was surrounded by a huge penguin.
'So I became a penguin... And they sure are tall...'
oh, wait... I'm just short...
"This egg just hatched?" One of the adult penguins was confused.
and then all the penguin males gathered, while I was sleeping in my father's brood patch.
This continued for a long time, he got to feed and then walked around and then sleep again.
And then two months have passed, he was finally can walk around by himself.
he wanted to go back to his father's brood patch but he can't.
Suddenly he heard a voice in his head.
"Penguin Evolution System is booting up..."
"Welcome to the Penguin Evolution System! I will help you until you become the best penguin in the world!"
"You can just think about status to check your information!"
Is this the famous system people are talking about? He was curious about the system.

Suddenly other penguins looked at him when he facepalmed.
'Why are they looking at me?' Albert was confused.
but then someone who was in front of him looked at him with
"Oh? You're challenging me? Come at me!" A penguin in front of him said to him.
He put his arm back beside him, and he was confused.
"Challenging you? When?"
"Don't make me laugh that gesture was to challenge me!"
the facepalm? I don't even know...
The guy size was the same size as him, he seems to be of the same generation as him.
He was going to tell him that he didn't want to challenge him and said it was an accident but then he slapped Albert.
*Pak!*
"You must be brain dead because you got out of your egg the last!"
Now he knew why it's called Face Slapping Penguin...

*Pak* Albert slapped him back.
And then said, "I'm the last because I'm growing my brain, unlike you who came out first, your brain is small!"
"OOOO" all the penguin watching was shocked.
"That's my son get 'em!" My mother and father encouraged.
This lasted until dawn.
"You, you... won." The guy gave up.
'Finally, I won. Albert was tired because it lasted so long that
"That was a good fight what's your name?" Albert asked him while taking out his hand to help him.
wait he got no hand only wing...
he returned his flipper and then waited for the guy to got up.
"The name's John! Nice to meet you it was a good fight, I will see you later.
John then slid away.
He didn't even get a chance to introduce himself...
I'm just going to find a place to sleep.
