"Son" sigh… "There's no easy way to say this, you have seven days to live."
It's been two days since I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I've been bedridden in the hospital ever since. Up until then, I lived a pretty average life, going to school, studying, reading webnovels in my free time.
Just a few days ago, I'd be couped in my room, studying for the SAT, not worried about being on the brink of death. Hell, the only reason I'd even come to the doctor's office was because my mother was worried about my loss of appetite.
"Mom…" I love my mom. I just wished I'd treated her better, spent more time with her. If I do, by some miracle, recover from this, I will encourage everyone to spend time with their mother before it's too late. "Who am I kidding?" I can barely speak, how would I encourage anyone? I couldn't even encourage myself.
My body feels heavy. Im tired. "so tired…" I said as my eyes closed.
I had a dream that day, surprisingly. I was in the ocean, sinking. Strangely though, I felt calm, as though I was in my mother's arms. I continued to sink until I hit the bottom. I looked down, I saw blue. Strange. It blinked. I was laying on a giant eye. My vision faded to black.

I woke up, abruptly, and hit my head against something, cracking it. Still drowsy, I looked around. "Where am I" I said aloud, or atleast, I tried to. "Whats going on?! Where's my voice" I attempted again.
After to many failed attempts, I gave up. Finally realizing I cannot see anything, I hit my head against the "ceiling" again. This time fully cracking it. Sunlight shone through, giving me some relief.
Where am I? I looked around and saw an egg. So…I either died and am currently in heaven where we hatch out of eggs or…I'm a bird.
There's really only one way to find out. Status!

Well… that certainly clears a few things up. I'm most likely in a fantasy world where I have the slighest clue about what this world is even like.
Great…Sigh.
One thing's for sure, I need to level up, fast. But first, where the hell is my mother?! I thought doves sit on their eggs until they hatch. Then again, this is another world.
Still! I need food. [-1hp]… what the hell. System, why did I lose health?! [Ding]. [Due to host's current status he will lose health every minute without sustainable nutrients. Host is advised to eat his shell]
I looked down at my shell. You cannot be serious. Sigh. Whatever, anything beats dying. I reluctantly began to stuff my face with the shell I popped out of.
…
[Ding]. [Status: Hungry removed]
Finally. I looked over to the egg that still hasn't hatched yet. Huh, I'm a older brother I guess.
I guess I have to get comfy in this nest. I then fall asleep.
