{The Tunnels}
"Shit!! my head hurts and its real bad" thought our tiny James while struggling to get up
While getting up James looked around where he was and all he saw was a tunnel, dirt walls, dirt floor and a dirt roof and after that he started looking at himself and noticed he is covered in black fur with a red shade on "Hah... so it wasn't a dream" ... "that must mean that the window I saw before is real" James thought
And with the magic of his brain power a window suddenly appeared

"Ugh all this thinking makes my head hurt is it because I have a puny rat brain or I got hit by something" thought James and then suddenly a giant rat covered in black fur with a light purple shade enetered and started squeaking really loudly but James couldn't understand what it said but suddenly...
- Knowledge (Rat Tongue Comprehension) acquired
And James could understand what it was saying
"HEY YOU LITTLE BASTARD CAN'T YOU HEAR WHAT I AM SAYING STOP LAZING AROUND AND GET UP YOU HAVE BEEN RESTING FOR TOO LONG!!! GET UP IF YOU DON'T WANT A BEATING!!" yelled the big and buff rat.
And at this time James got really pissed for the first time since he reincarnated he was gonna jump up and punch the big and buff rat but he realized how small he was, he wasn't even half the size of the big rat so knew he wasn't strong enough to beat it and instead chose to listen to it's orders until he is strong enough.
"Yes sir!!" said our little Jimmy while trying to keep cool.
The big rat was amazed to hear James talk and said "So you can talk already, huh ratlings like you wouldn't be able talk for days after being born so NOW GET UP ALREADY AND FOLLOW ME TO THE MEETING HALL!!"
and James stood up on his four paws after remembering that he couldn't stand up and started to follow the big rat in front.
When following the big rat James could see the tunnels widening as they were going deeper then he started sensing other rats and a big hall all of them were around his size except the ones on a higher part which looked like some kind of stage with no curtains the rats there were the same size as the one he was following and suddenly he remember he could see other's statuses so he use it on the big rat.

and the *ding* It came the description of his cool sounding species.

"Well pretty simple!"
and the voice of a massive rat could be hear and the big rat which we found out his name is Trust told James to go in the crowd of rats while he went in the stage.
when he joined the crowd he started to look at their statuses and all of them where nonamed and classless killer rats like him.
and he started to check the massive rat currently talking which looked like he was the leader.

"what's this? I didn't know you could combine 2 classes"
Then after the king who now we know as Fatty after giving a long speech ("which I don't wanna type out because it'll be too boring" said the author) another Malice Rat came up to the front while Fatty went back. His status were similar to Trust while his name was Smarty and his job was Mage.
"Hello newborns I am Smarty the king's right-hand man and head of training soldiers I will now explain what you will be doing from now on First of all is training each one of you will an instructor to follow behind me who will train you until you are strong and have matured enough you have a lot of time before then so you will be staying in the Tunnels until then, Then there's food as which you will have to take care of somehow, The instructors will teach you how to hunt the first few days and after that you will have to take care of yourselves, And last but not least is achievements which will spread the your name across the Tunnels, there are many ways to get achievements all you have to do is do a great deed which got the king recognition I think that is it. And as for names you will be named by the Rat Spirit after you have chosen a instructor to follow"
"Huh that's it?" said James as one of the rats next to him heard but decided to ignore it and the went towards the instructors James didn't know what to so decided to go with the flow and saw the big and buff rat from before TRUST so decided to go there because he still had something to settle with him and James never lets his grudges go.
There were already 5 other rats there already they were standing in a row so he just joined the back of the row which seemed that that was what he was meant to do after seeing no else came Trust decided to go in a tunnel as the 5 rats followed him so James also joined them.
As they went in the tunnel they found themselves in another hall bigger than the previous one that they were in, it seemed like a place where a cult will reside in with a a golden lamp full of water which was glowing in the centre lighting up the whole room and having markings across the walls.
Then the big Trust turned around an told them "This is the Hall of the Rat Spirit and the place where you will be named now get in a line which... you already are in and go to the lamp to get your name"
James what confused by what he said "This is making me feel Like I'm in an actual cult" thought James with a confused face
