Getting used to a new reality

Hello my fellow crazy people. If it isn't I, your new friend that happens to be stuck as a bat in another world.

You see, I haven't been stuck doing nothing during this last week that I have been here, no no no.

I perchance happen to have been studding my situation a little bit more, you see. For example, 'status'.

See what I mean ? First I was like 'what the f**k is this thing, am I in a game or something ?

It got even weirder when I asked myself what the heck is a core, then this happened :

I know right ? mana ... the thing that every geek as heck boy and girl back where I come from would love to have.

MAGIC

Does that mean that there is something akin to magic in this world too ? I don't care much about throwing fireballs and alike but, if I could at least move things with my mindish that would be sooo cool.

I actually think that these particles that make up most of the world I can 'see' are actually the so called 'mana' that this system is talking about.

When I first tried opening up my eyes, I thought I couldn't see a thing, but actually turns out I can, it is just that as a newborn, my ability was really low leveled or something like this. Now that is increased I can actually make up somethings like, the appearance of my parents and my body to some extent.

My mother is a bit bigger then my father, but both are furry bats with really big wings compared to my size now. I'm really small to be honest, if I were a normal bat I would say I stand no chance of survival.

~But I'm anything but normal~

First, I seem to be born as a cored bat. From what I can see from other bats around here, cause of course we aren't the only ones, it isn't a normal occurrence.

'but how can you tell' I might hear some of you say. Well, when I 'see'(because it is actually more of a feel, kinda like a 6th sense of some sorts) the mana around me and in me, there seems to be a concentration of particles around and inside beings that are cored, me included. I deduced this based on me being a cored individual and having a somewhat concentration of particles while most bats around me have none, especially newborns.

Both my parents seem to be cored, so is there a correlation there ? Maybe.

Second, I have these weird skill names and this message that says 'corrupted file'... what does that mean ? I'm still working on the difference between ability and skill though, so that might take a while.

and lastly, I was once human in the advanced world of earth, of course that makes me special somewhat.

This situation is really stressful, yah know ? It's weird having to get used to a whole new body and a new reality. specially a new body.

First, my wings. They aren't as huge as my parents's but still are something to look at. its even weirder coming from having fingers and hands to these things.

Also, my hearing is top notch. I'm still absorbing the patterns and learning the real deal but, I'm actually starting to get this echolocation stuff. I can pretty much know where are the walls and most bats around here. I'm still new so I may bump into things once I manage to learn how to fly.

The thing that bugs me more would have to be my face though. You see, I used to have a pretty normal face as a human. plank like everyday stuff. But now I have to learn how to eat with a hecking snout like one. It is definitely the worst part of all of thi-

No... I'm lying.

There is something worse.

The food takes the trophy and a piece of cake as a side dish.

It isn't bad per say, but it is surely weird drinking milk from a mommy bat, if you know what I mean. I used to consider myself a really open minded individual, but this is pretty much the weirdest thing I have experienced in my life...

even though I'm already dead, yohohoho.

Oh, speaking of my new parents. They are unexpectedly pretty nice. Mom is constantly holding me and feeding me while dad goes to grab mom food. Mostly mice. I'm actually afraid of once I grow up a bit and start having to eat that stuff. I would have mom's milk over any of this dead rat stuff.

I can't say this is the best environment for an ex human being, after all, I have nothing to do most of the time. But it is decent.

While stuck with my face facing mother, I try focusing on my other senses, like training them to some extent. Maybe that is why sight and mana sensing's level have gone up these couple of days. I guess the more you use something, the better you get at it.

I wonder if it works with anything... Can a bat learn how to throw knifes for example ? I remember loving seeing videos of people throwing knifes at my spare time. Also, what happens when you forget how to do things ? Does it still work like that in this world ?

Ah, I remember reading all those novels about a reincarnated overpowered protagonist as a human and thinking. ' That looks so tough, go back to being a baby again.'

Now I'm sure that I was wrong. That would be a piece of cake compared to me now. At least a baby has things to do. Learning a new language, making friends, a not so weird place to get food from. Things like that.

What do I get ? the most complex sound pattern I have learned this past week seems to be ' Brought food '. Outside that there are ' welcome backish' and 'stay back'. That last one came when other bats got close to mama and dad had to defend us. He seems like a really reliable dad if I say so myself.

~Ah~

I wonder how long it will take for me to get some independence around here. This boredom is starting to make me go crazy...

More than I already am.

If I could at least learn how I could level up, that would help a lot, real-

Ah, that is nice. I guess I can hear better now. I should probably try focusing in this abilities for now, after all, if there is nothing to do except get better at something, why not try your hardest to do that ?
