As I fell into the portal, brilliant and vibrant lights surround me, like being enveloped by a rainbow, it was quite beautiful. I was excited by this bizarre turn of events. 'I mean, what are the chances of me finding and integrating, in an apparently unnecessarily painful manner, with the system. What is the system? Why did it apologize for hurting me? What was the less painful method? Am I being monitored? Am I being graded for something?' So I think as my excitement slowly gave way to confusion.
Suddenly the light show stopped, and I was thrown forward into what looked like a cave. The cave was rather large, littered with different-sized rocks ranging from small to large, and had a river running through it from the innermost wall and out the opening. I could hear the sounds of a waterfall just outside the cave. Sighing slightly, I know I have the high ground, which will give me a good defensive point. Hopefully, I can use this place as a base until I get my bearings.

"Not even giving me time to breathe, are you," I say with annoyance and pull up my pants which had fallen around my calves. Looking at my entire uniform, it hadn't shrunk down to fit my new size and didn't fit me anymore. "Open System, Open Missions tab," I say, lamenting the loss of my shoes and adjust my belt.

"Hmm, a mystery punishment, how original," I say as I walk to the cave entrance. The first thing I notice is that I'm on the lower side of a cliff. The waterfall is roughly thirty meters up. The waterfall's river cuts through a forest and leads into a huge lake in the distance with numerous islands floating above the water. I can see various types of animals, and Grimm fly, walking, even swimming. The strange and wild beauty of the view entrances me. I use the view to soothe some of the feelings of loss I have been ignoring.
I look up, and I see the top of the cliff is about fifty meters up. I decided to figure out my powers a little before exploring. So, going back into the cave, I sit on a rock.
Having no idea where to start, I decide to try meditating like they do in animes and movies and concentrating on the concept of Ki. After a few seconds, I feel an energy flowing in me. It seems to be flowing from my diaphragm and out to my limbs and head, and back. Raising my hand in front of me, I will the energy to the palm of my hand. It was hard at first, as if the energy didn't want its flow to change, but eventually, the energy yielded to me, and a glowing purple orb grew in my hand to about an inch in diameter. Suddenly, I feel slightly weakened, and I lose concentration for a second, and the purple ball disappears.

"Ok, so it's not Dragon Ball Z Ki or maybe just measured differently," I say as I summon another Ki orb, then will it to hit the wall. The orb slams into the wall, leaving some cracks around a newly made two-inch wide hole. "Well, it behaves similarly enough."
Looking back at the stat menu, I decide to put the exp into my level.
[Level up]
[4 Stat point distributed]
[HP and Ki level increased by 20]
I put the points into charisma and Luck, letting my tail sway slightly happy with the reward for leveling up. Then head to the cave entrance. 'Now that I have a basic idea of how my powers work, I need to think about what I'll need to survive here and train for a year.' Looking at the system tabs and seeing some interest ones.
After thinking about it, I decide on a few necessities first before I start messing with the systems dungeon tab. I need to focus on gathering and pick my fights carefully until I'm stronger. But, I can't put this off, or I'll be weak due to hunger, and it'll just get harder to survive. So, my long-term goals are fortifying my cave, a sustained supply of food and water, tools to cook and hunt with, a form of rope, and something dry to sleep on. I decide to prioritize the rope and food since I already have a water supply and the cave as shelter.
"Close System," I say while exiting the cave. I look around, but there isn't a path down. 'Looks like I'm climbing,' I think as I look over the edge before climbing down.
Climbing with a small body is weird at first. I keep reaching for handholds outside my reach, but eventually, I get used to it and make my way down. When I finally got to the bottom, I listen to the forest, birds chirping, bugs buzzing, and the occasional bark. 'Good, as long as there is noise, then other predators shouldn't be near. Looking around, I just see trees and bushes all around me, moving quickly and quietly. I go to the bushes looking for long, flat, and fibery leaves. I also look for fruits and sticks.
After finding, taking note of their location, and gathering many of them, I use my shirt as a bag and climb back up the cliff. I repeat this process a few times, gathering a large supply of everything. Next, I move decent-sized rocks into the river in the cave, placing the leaves on the rock's side facing upriver and leaving them to soak. After that, I create a fire pit, a small hole with stones surrounding it, and break up the sticks to fit in the hole.
Of the fruits, most of them were berries and some apples. 'Now that I have food, let's get that exercise routine out of the way,' I think. Dropping into a lowered push-up position, I bring my knees to my chest as I push up, then jump up into a standing position, completing my first burpee.
After finishing the exercises the only this left was was the run, 'I have two way I can go about this, laps in the cave or run along the river.' I think and feeling cocky about my abilities hating the idea of doing laps in these small caves, I say, "Laps would increase the time it would take, and the cave isn't big enough. I'd be running in a small circle. I'll run along the river and mentally map out the area." I climb down the cliff.
After running for a good amount of time, I stop and say, "Mission tab open."

"All right, now I just need to run back," I say, but suddenly hear a roar behind me. I turn around and see a hulking black mass in the shape of a bear. 'I should've paid better attention to my surroundings,' I think as I square up.
