"Nahahahahaha!"
'Can you stop laughing already?'
"How can I? Hahahhaa! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! But it's so funny!"
'It's really not…'
"Of course it is! You were in your room, all alone as always. Maidenless as you are!"
'And then I died. The maidenless part really isn't important!'
"It is! It is!"
'What happened to me anyways? How did I die so suddenly?'
"How? Hahahaha! The ceiling fell on you, while you were lying in bed… Alone!"
'That's not particularly funny.'
"It is! Because you need to know WHY the ceiling fell!!"
'Why did it fall?'Arthur asked, equally as irritated as he was exhausted.
The person standing in front of him was claiming to be, despite the absurdity of it, the Goddess of Lust.
She had previously explained that the Goddess of Rebirth had chosen him, and had chosen the Goddess of Lust to guide him through the process of his Rebirth. Unfortunately, after on a couple of seconds, she had started laughing uncontrollably.
"Well, you see… There was that guy living above you."
'Yeah, the guy and his fiancée. What about them?'
"Well…" The Goddess of Lust graciously hid her tremendous smile with a hand. "He was caught with another girl!"
'Okay…?' Arthur was rather unimpressed by the revelation. 'He was born good-looking. A pretty boy, some would say… Nothing surprising about it. What does it have to with anything?'
"Well, upon catching that… The financée kept it a secret. She didn't say a word about it despite the fact that she knew she was being played…"
'And?'
"And… On a Friday afternoon, the time when he would bring his girlfriend over… The fiancée hid until her fiancé and his girlfriend came over. She waited for them to lock themselves inside the bedroom… Then in less than five minutes, the flour, the oil, the gas… She readied everything and left!"
'You mean… She blew up the kitchen?'
"The whole place blew up!"
'That's fucked up… I knew there was something wrong with her.'
"Isn't it super funny?"
'...?'
"You don't get it?"
'No…?'
"Well, it's obvious!" The Goddess of Lust clapped her hands together. "You lived a maidenless life! Never getting any! And then you get killed… Because someone else is getting too much! Nahahahaha! That's hilarious! It's so funny!!"
Arthur thought her laughing so intense it would make her choke at any moment… Were she not a Goddess.
He stared silently while she laughed.
The Goddess of Lust's hair was long and pinkish, her skin was tanned. Through the cuts of her dress, the contours of a fit and toned body could be drawn. Her wide hips were particularly dazzling
'The fact that she's the hottest woman I've ever seen isn't even surprising… Since she's a Goddess.'
Arthur sighed internally.
"Alright, alright…" The Goddess coughed. "Let's try to do this professionally."
'Professionally… After laughing in my face for so long?'
"The World you're about to be Reborn in is… Oh, whatever! You'll figure it out!"
'Huh? Are you serious?'
"You might not have been getting any, but you have a good brain on your shoulders." The Goddess winked. "Good luck, little rabbit."
'Little rabbit? What do you-'
Suddenly, the space around Arthur seemed to twist and contort.
He blinked, and everything changed. Everything around him, and everything about him.
'Ugh…'
Arthur groaned as he squinted. The sun was shining brightly through the leaves.
He blinked a couple more times.
'A forest… Of course, that cheeky Goddess wouldn't make things easy for me.' Arthur sighed as he tried to get up.
He failed.
His eyes opened wide.
'No way… No fucking way.'
There was no denying it.
His body wasn't made to walk on two feet. He didn't even have feet.
'The bitch…' Arthur cursed internally, staring at the white fur that covered his body. 'She really turned me into a rabbit!'
[A Hare, to be more precise.]
[A Horned Hare, to be even more precise.]
'...'
[Feel free to refer to me as the System.]
[I have been tasked with helping you navigate this new world.]
'So you're doing her job, huh?'
[The Goddess of Lust would rather it be called delegating.]
'Saying the same thing in a nicer way… Now that's professional.'
[Thank you.]
'I wasn't… Ugh, nevermind. So a System, huh?'
[More precisely, a Lust System.]
'What does that entail exactly?'
[That I am a System bestowed by the Goddess of Lust.]
'How useful.'
[Thank you.]
'...'
[Feel free to check your Status Window by saying the words.]

'Yeah, no shit… I mean, according to the names at least.'

'Alright.'
The floating words disappeared. All of a sudden, the forest's liveliness became apparent. Birds chirping, insects buzzing, the sounds of leaves dancing with the wind… It all made Arthur aware of how dangerous a situation he was in.
'I need to get used to moving on four… Paws first. I'll find somewhere to hide, then I'll ask about the Skills.'
