The Forest and the System

The pain was agonising, I could feel the pain from every cell of my body as they were pulled apart, stitched back together, burned, frozen and once again pulled apart. I could feel every blister, every crack, every stitch and every tear in my body as I was slowly and agonizingly formed.

As my sight returned after what felt like hours of pain, I found my self in a forest, there was a few bushes around me, a lot of trees, the chirping of birds as they flew overhead and the rustling of critters as they ran through the undergrowth.

I breathed heavily as I fell to the ground as my body went numb *thump* I lay there looking up at the canopy of leaves and at the sky that lay beyond it, I entered a daze as I waited to regain strength in my body.

It wasn't till the sun started to set that I came out of my daze, I sat up and started to go through everything that just happens, in my pain and relief I hadn't processed everything that had just happened, I was excited and my heart started to beat out of my chest in happiness.

My wish had finally come true, or at least the first part.

Remembering that I was given a system by Akashika I quickly tried to get the system to respond "System, are you there?"

[Hello, I am the system created by god, I am here to assist you in you goals and to give you any information that I have stored in my databanks]

The soft feminine voice sounded out. This was great, I had a system, holding in my excitement I started to question the system "System, what are your functions?" I asked

[My functions re limited to the following three]

[SCAN: with this you will be able to scan anything and everything to find its weaknesses and strengths]

[STATUS BOARD: this will allow you to keep track of your growth even without having your status board updated]

[THE DATABANK: the DATABANKS are a compressive list of every known subject in this world, by accessing it you will have all the worlds knowledge at you figures]

[Any future functions will only be unlocked by achieving a threshold of strength]

"Yes, can I give you a name?"

[If you want to, I will accept any name given to me, what would you like to name me?]

This was a tough choice, I wanted to give her something that sounded beautiful and elegant, it took a while but after going through every name I could think of I decided to name her Grace.

Then something happened, I blue hue enshrouded the world around me as Grace's voice sounded out, but it was different.

[analysing host body]

[re-designing base body schematics]

[constructing mana pathways]

[Creating soul]

[Initializing body construction]

After Grace's now robot like voice stopped, in a burst of light, a young woman appeared.

She was tall and had long white hair, her eyes were a soft banana yellow, her skin was pale white and she wore a simple white and black dress, similar in style to the one Akashika wore when I met him.

"[hello August, with the name you have given me I am able to manifest my self in a human body]" her words shocked me me naming her gave her a human body... WTF!!
