[Day 1- Nafeesa Al-Amin]
I opened my eyes and in front of me layed two huge golden pincers with very pointy and sharp ends, they resembled a lot like the pincers of a scorpion that I used to find in the sand back home, which made me take a few steps back.
Then I realized instead of walking on two legs like I usually do I was walking on eight legs and after closely examining i fount out that these pincers were a part of me.
I am a SCORPION!
"Stay calm Nafeesa, take a deep breath!"
"Do I even have a nose to breathe?"
"How am I breathing?"
Then I felt it,I was taking air through my freaking scorpion abdomen!
"What the heck??"
This realization send a shiver down my whole body.
"Calm down Nafeesa!"
"You survived in a warring country for so long, you can survive this!"
"So I'm a scorpion, so what?"
It's not like I can do anything about it, what's done is done.
All I can do is survive and grow strong.
I checked my surroundings and found that there is nothing but sand everywhere and i was currently standing on a sand dune and and no matter how far I tried to look all I could see was sand.
I was in a middle of a very normal desert, when those figure said that we will be going to a world where magic exists, I was expecting a little more and the only magical thing I could see was up in the sky.
The sky was cloudless but it had three scorching sun, one huge and the other two small, and the heat coming from the sun was weirdly comforting.
There was no vegetation or water at sight so I would probably have to cover a lot of distance before I find any.
I also noticed that my area of view had increased a lot, its probably because I've like ten to twelve eyes now.
This made my whole body shiver all over again again.
Again Nafeesa it's not like you can do anything, the faster you accept being a scorpion the better.
Wait a minute, if I'm a scorpion then I should have a stinger after all the scorpions are known for their poisonous stinger.
I tried feeling my stinger and there it was, I tried bringing the stinger in my area of vision and I ended up darting it on the ground in front of my head, just inches away from it.
I need to learn to control this thing if I want to survive otherwise I would end up killing myself.
I could see my stinger and it was also of golden color just like my pincers, I've never heard about a golden scorpion but I also shouldn't apply my world's knowledge here after all this world has magic and I'm a monster.
Wait a minute If I'm a monster then there should be other monster in this desert as well, if I find any then that means a water source should be nearby as living beigns usually needs water to survive.
And if I'm able to kill that monster then I could evolve and regain my human form.
It's like hitting two birds with one stone.
If I remember correctly one of the figure told us to say 'status' and saying it would help us a lot.
So let's try it!
"Status!"
As soon as I said that, a blue translucent screen appeared out of nowhere.

"What is this?"
"HP?MP??SP???"
"What do they mean and what are all these numbers???"
I tried to read them again and suddenly out of nowhere another blue screen popped out.
[Using the skill [Unique Skill: Inspect] ]
[HP:
A numerical value representing the health points of a character under the the surveillance of the system.
If this point reaches zero then the character dies]
This [Unique Skill: Inspect] is pretty nice, it explains everything.
I used this skill continously to find out the meaning of everything.
[MP:
A numerical value representing the mana points of a character under the the surveillance of the system.
If this point reaches zero then the character dies]
[SP:
A numerical value representing the stamina points of a character under the the surveillance of the system.

[Poisonous Golden Scorpion:
A scorpion monster that has never been seen before.
It's armor is made of pure gold, it could easily poison or paralyze someone with just a stab of it's stinger and also has very sharp and strong pincers.
It has a very special ability which gives the user very powerful instincts making them a master at hunting, tracking, planning, manipulating and assassinating.
Attributes: Fire, Earth and Poison ]
"Huh?Never seen before? That is weird??"
I'm also made of pure gold, I wonder what people will do when they find it out, I'm pretty sure that they'll start coming after me.
[Grade:
A rank that is used to classify ever monster under the surveillance of the system.
This is used to determine the danger level of a monster. A monster's rank may increase after evolving.
The grades in ascending order are:-
D
C
B
A
S
SS
SSS. ]
My grade is low, I need to evolve fast and get strong, otherwise I would end up being killed by the high grade monsters.
[Level:
A numerical value representing the stage a living charcter which is under the surveillance of the system has reached.
By increasing the level, a character can increase it's overall stats.
After reaching the max level, the character may or may not evolve depending on their species.
One can level up by accumulating XP which a character can receive after killing another character recognized by the system. ]
This part was already explained by those two figures and the other part with numbers are pretty direct so I don't need to use [Unique Skill: Inspect] on them, but the thing that stands out the most is my luck.
Why is my luck in zero?
Am I so unlucky?
Well I can level up and increase it, so let's set a side goal to increase my luck because my main goal right now is to survive and become strong and also to find monsters.
Maybe I should also set a side goal to not kill any humans, after all I was a human myself in my previous life and currently I'm in a body of a monster, so what's stopping me from becoming an actual monster.
This goal will help me keep my morality in check. Many people might say that I shouldn't have a moral dilemma after all killing is normal here and what's stopping the human from killing me but my father taught me to always keep my morals intact and I would like to continue doing so.
Let's use [Unique Skill: Inspect] on my other skills, because I will need to use them when I fight with other monster.
But before that I will probably have to secure a shelter as the sun will be down very soon, I might be alone right now but I'm pretty sure many animals used to hunt at night, maybe it's the same with monsters .
So let's get on moving, I'm in no shape to fight any other monsters as I'm still getting used to this 8-legged body with two huge pincers and a stinger that I can't control.
Wait a minute, maybe I don't have to move to find a shelter, I have a skill [Burrowing Lv.1], it could help me create a safe shelter.
So i started digging vertically, but as I was doing so, my body suddenly stopped by itself and something inside started to tell me to create a horizontal entry to my burrow.
So I went down the sand dune that I was standing on and started creating a horizontal entry to my burrow and as I was doing so my instincts started to tell me to make a deep spiral burrow.
I could easily see the advantage of doing so as other monsters won't be able to enter my burrow if it is spiraling downwards, so I did as I was been told by my instincts.
I ended up digging a burrow with a horizontal entry and a spiral in it and at the end of the spiral I made a sort of a bedroom with a mud bed about my size .
Ding!
Your skill [Burrowing Lv.1] leveled up!
Ding!
Your skill [Scorpion Instincts Lv.1] leveled up!
I received a notification from the system telling me that my skill leveled up so I checked my status and saw that my burrowing skill was at level 2 now.
And the second skill must be the special ability that was given in my species description, so I guess doing this sort of things will also help me leveling it.
I can level up my skills by just doing it again and again, that's very convenient, let's try leveling them up a but more.
I ended up creating a bathroom with mud bathtub, a kitchen with a mud table and I even created and I even ended up creating a nursery room because of my skill [Scorpion Instincts Lv.2]
It's not like I'm going to have children any time soon, its just that I wanted to level up my skills so I made it.
And by the end my burrowing skill was at level five and my instincts level was at three.
It was already dark outside and I was going to my bedroom when I suddenly started hearing voices coming from outside.
RAAAUUUUGGGHHH!
RRRAAAUUUUGGHH!
I quickly went up to the entrance of my burrow and closed it down, but before I could close it I saw it.
It was three meters tall humanoid figure, with grayish green skin and a bulky body with nerves popping off, it was wearing some sort of armor and carrying a huge sword.
I looked at him so much that my skill [Unique Skill: Inspect] activated by itself.

His whole presence made me paralyzed for a second and I also got a notification from the blue screen.
Ding!
You acquired the skill [Fear Resistance Lv.1]
Fortunately i was able to quickly closed the entry of my burrow, before that monster could notice me.
