What happened

I groan as my head keeps throbbing to the tune of my heartbeat, and my stomach keeps gurgling in pain. As I try to massage my eyes I feel something soft touching my face. I spasm at the thought of some kind of rat or mouse crawling into my bed as i fling my arms and try my best to jump to my feet. I trip while getting up and fall back onto my ass as a light oof forces its way out of my mouth and i just sit there in fear as i finally open my eyes and look around.

"What the hell!? Where's my Bed!" I yell as i turn my head and view a vast forest all around me, Several types of tree's all with multicolored leaves surround me as well as different types of bushes and flowers I don't recognize. I look to my left and see a silver tree with leaves that are bright blue with large round fruit hanging from the branches, several of the them also lying near the base after having fallen.

I keep looking around in shock for a few minutes before I try to get back up and see small fur covered arms touching the ground. I jump as i fly backwards again and see that these fur covered things are mine...as well as noticing my legs are also covered in a soft black fur and I'm wearing nothing but a raggedy loincloth.

"What the hell is this...I know i didn't drink to much cus I haven't been able to afford booze for months now. Where am i too, I've never left the damn city so how'd i end up in the woods and are tree's supposed to have blue leaves...." I mumble as i continue to start hyperventilate and yank at the fur on my legs trying to take this costume off.

I keep trying to pull this stuff off of me but once i finally give a hard enough tug my leg starts burning in pain from getting a chunk of hair pulled out. As i yelp and stare at the spot in disbelief I finally realize this isn't a dream, or a joke, or anything like that. I've turned into some kind of animal! As i start shaking and tears start leaking from my eyes a bush starts shaking nearby, I look up quickly and stare at the bush as a rabbit the size of toddler walks out of the bush and starts glancing around nervously before locking its beady orange eyes on me.

I stare back at the bunny and notice something shiny is attached to its back leg, the sunlight glinting off it as the rabbit lets off a squeaky growl as it lowers its head and digs its paws into the ground. Cold sweat starts to pool at the base of my neck as I look around for someplace to hide, only seeing more bushes and trees. The rabbit lifts its head and growls at me, the sound causing my knees to shake as i turn around and run towards the silver fruit tree as fast as i can. I stumble a few times before i hit the tree and begin to scramble up the trunk, glancing over my shoulder as i try to climb and scream when i see the small rabbit darting near me and then jumping high before spinning in the air and trying to kick me with its back legs.

It hurts! I moan as the legs slice open my thigh before the rabbit falls back to the ground and i finally reach the first branch that I can pull myself up on. I look down and see the rabbit circling the base of the tree glancing up at me every few seconds, its orange eyes showing anger as it opens its mouth and growls at me from the ground, its sharp, bloody teeth smiling at me as it lays down at the base of the tree and starts nibbling at some of the fallen fruit.

"What the hell man this can't be happening!" I keep repeating while my body keeps shaking like a leaf. I just stare at the rabbit in fear as i watch blood drip from my thigh onto the ground, my leg numb and hanging from the branch as i take huge gasping breathes and finally feel myself starting to calm down.

"Ok so checklist for today. Woke up in a forest I've never seen before. Found out I'm some kind of animal or monkey since i have thumbs at least. Got attacked by a killer bunny. What in the name of hell is going on!" I say out loud while leaning against the trunk of the tree and closing my eyes. My body starts to feel heavy as I finally pass out, not noticing the rabbit pushing the fallen fruit under where my leg is dripping and smiling maliciously.

-------------------------------------Some time later-------------------------------------------------

I groan as i open my eyes then cling to the trunk as i look around and see that I'm not on the ground. As the adrenaline kicks in i sob as i realize that it wasn't a dream and I'm still sitting in the tree. My leg is throbbing as i look down and see the evil rabbit sleeping at the base of the tree, several fallen fruits coated in his blood are scattered around it as the monster snores cutely and rolls onto its back. As its legs stick into the air i finally see what was glinting, its back legs aren't actually paws but have glades attached to the ankles almost like ice skates, the blades connecting to beasts ankles naturally and melding into its back thighbones.

"I'm gonna die aren't I?" I whisper as i start crying, my mind flashing to all the bad luck I've had for the past few years. My parents both dying in a plane crash leaving me with nobody, losing my job at the restaurant because I refused to serve low quality food for five times what it was worth. My desperate attempt at streaming games that i could barely keep up in while forcing myself to act excited and happy, when in reality i was scared shitless of where my next meal would come from, or if I'd have enough for rent this month let alone water and power. I cry for the fact that I can't remember how i got here and that there's nobody that would even look for me due to my hermit lifestyle. As I finally run out of tears and wipe the snot from my nose I look down and see the rabbit staring at me, it's eyes smiling at me as if to say "Don't cry! I'll end it all soon!"

My stomach gurgles as i realize I'm hungry and sigh in acceptance that this is it. I'm either going to starve to death or be eaten by the worlds scariest children's pet. as i look up i notice at the end of the branch I'm sitting on there's a bunch of fruit hanging, most of them looking bright and ripe while others are smaller and give off the feeling of not being ready yet. My stomach growls again as a small smile appears on my face and i slowly lay on the branch and inch my way to the fruit, reaching out and grabbing two from the bunch then inching back until i can sit up again. I take a huge bite out of the first fruit and open my eyes in amazement as I start to feel completely refreshed, my exhaustion is disappearing and as i glance down i realize my legs is slowly started to heal on its own.

"The hell.....its like a game....eat food get health.....wait!" I start to say excitedly as I realize that if I heal like in a game maybe there are other things are game like that can happen! My eyes open wide as i start laughing and clapping my hands excitedly.

"Ok so most games have some kind of system! System help!" I say out loud and am amazed as three options appear in front of me.
