urrently, I'm in a bit of a situation...
I can't get out of this freaking egg! I feel like I'm going to suffocate!
I've tried everything, scratching, squirming, kicking, jabbing, everything! I've even tried magic! Though I would prefer to not speak about that... It was awkward, even if I am the only one here. (Apart from the system, if it counts as its own entity anyways.) Of course, it didn't work though, it says I don't have magic.
Suddenly, light floods into the egg, making the orange hue that I constantly see kind of ethereal-looking...
I try to climb out of the egg, but realize the only thing that I have that's close to an arm is a pathetic excuse for a nub.
Noticing the pathetic nub, I scream or more let out a screech.
After calming down, I stare at the arm, not being able to see any color other than orange that has an oddly satisfying pulse (sadly), I can't tell what color I am, but what I can tell, is that I'm stringy.
That might be confusing, which I understand, but... It looks like I'm made out of worms, kind of.
With enough concentration, I can change the shape of my 'Nub', but it's strangely exhausting, but I'm throwing that off the train, for now, I need to get the hell out of here.
I squirm my way out of the egg, falling off and realizing I'm currently falling off of a cliff.
{** Warning! You've reached critically low levels of HP! Take more caution!
1 / 10 [-6 HP] (Half of the damage taken from the fall has been nullified. Reason: Your form takes away half of all damage caused by fall damage/blunt force. Original damage received: 10 HP). **}
Ahhhh... Shit that hurt! Ugh... If I had legs, the bones would be shattered to an atomic level.
Good to know that I take fall damage... Lesson learned.
Where am I? Is that a rock?
{** Scanning... Scanned successfully.
Name: Rock
Class: Object.
Info: A rock, self-explanatory. (Answer is vague because Scan is too low of a level.).
**}
Oh. So I do have an appraisal-type skill? Good to know.
It's not very helpful right now, but how do I level it up? It didn't show up on the skills page of the system, so it must be hidden, right?
{** Answer: The system is having troubles, it is currently working on maintenance, estimated time of repair: 10 Hours. In the meantime, some features of the system may not be available, may not work, or you may have them all together. **}
So I was given a shitty broken system? Hopefully, it fixes itself soon...
I begin squirming around, trying to figure out where I am.
Looking around, I begin scanning random things I see.
{** Rock. **}
{** Rock **}
{** Rock **}
{** Rock **}
{** Rock...

Is everything here a rock?
I scanned the ground and it said {** Space Rock **}, Am I on an asteroid or something?? What the hell??
I found a weird plant and it said it was a {** Living Rock **} for fucks sake!
Is this because of the broken system?! At this point, I'd just prefer to not have the scan skill at all!
What the hell is that? Is that a spaceship?
I think that's a spaceship! Hell yeah!
{** Level too low to scan. Conditions to level up the 'Scan' Skill: Use 10 times. Progression: 17 / 20. **}
Scan more things! Got it!
It better not call that thing 'Rock Ship' or anything.
I began moving around, looking for new things to scan. You apparently can't scan one thing more than once, so that sucks, but makes sense.
//// Maintenance finished, applying latest system upgrades... Finished, resetting system. ////
Huh? What? The system looks different all of a sudden... Is this its way of saying 'Updating'? Probably...
