After awhile I woke up but chose to keep my eyes shut and made my self even more comfortable on the floor.
Ahh~ I never knew sleeping in the ground would be this comfortable, probably because sleeping in the ground is in my rat genes.
I wanted to stay down for a bit longer but realised that 'a bit' will soon become forever so I chose to open my heavy eyelids and stood up balancing myself.
"So lets see what happened before I passed out? Ah~ yes I touched a shard that evolved the (Status View) skill"

"Hmm... so (Status View) now evolved to (Info). So did it improve someway?"
- (Info) gives more information about the target
"Ok wonderful" then silence arrived "So now what?"
Shortly after I remembered about the book which I found next to the shard "Well the book is still unknown as I'm now labelled as illiterate" ... "Whatever lets go on with our journey"
"But first where how do I carry the book and my dagger, I could carry them by hand but that would be uncomfortable" my worry didn't last long as I found a bag that looked similar to a duffel bag and chose use that to carry my stuff
"Now lets go on" then I walked towards the door in front of me.
As I got closer to the door a thought popped up in my mind 'what should I expect next?' should I expect a boss monster this time or another horde of zombies or something completely different? This though fogged up my brain until I found myself standing beside the door my head was just slightly higher than the rusty handle, it made feel like a child.
Now a new question replaced the one before it "So am I a midget now or just undeveloped?".
"Why am I thinking of this now? whatever lets just open the door and see what's in the other side" I steeled myself for what's next and opened the door suddenly I felt light blinding my eyes, I closed my eyes by instinct and slowly opened them to see some thing that I did not expect.
It was a beautiful landscape with a huge amount of greenery, big massive trees, light green coloured grass, animals like rabbits and deers running around as if they are playing tag.
This view shocked me, what I expected was to see a colossal zombie sitting on a throne with multiple zombies surrounding him.
So I looked behind and there was the pyramid "So this is? Nothing else? I feet excited that I'm finally out there (even though I gained a lot in it) but at the same time I feel disappointed" ... "Well if that's it, there is nothing I can do so all I can do now is keep on going forwards"
So I looked at the rabbits, the first thing I noticed was that they were green, some weird colour they have and the same goes for the deers even they are green. So I chose to use (Statu- I mean (Info) on them

"Another weird animal" I was gonna kill them but after seeing their level I realized that my level won't get any higher if I slaughter them and I'm not hungry plus I'm not a killing machine so decided to spare them and instead went in the forest to explore and find is something piqued my interest.
As I went deeper in to the forest I found many monsters/animals like boars, wolves, spider and many more but the ones that actually piqued my interest are rats, Grass Rats to be specific they had green fur and blue eyes and actually looked cute and innocent unlike the Killer Rats who were intimidating but sadly when I came close to them they ran away "Do they they hate the Ghoul Rats or something, this is racism I tell you"
Soon after night time came and I could hear my stomach grumbling so I took out my daggers and went hunting. What I am looking for is... anything actually I don't think I would get poisoned as I am a Ghoul hahhahah.
So I hid in the bushes and searched for an animal that could be my next meal, the searching didn't last long as I found a wolf pack of 4 and each of their levels were 11 so... yeah free food.
"Hmm... should I have made traps as it would take less energy... I'll do that next time"
Then I jumped out of the bushes behind the pack and stabbed one's neck and it started whimpering until it died, right after the death of their teammate the rest turned around to see me so I started stabbing them and the rest is history.
"Now then should I eat raw or cooked... does it really matter as long as I feel my belly" I started carrying them behind a tree and started devouring them raw I shockingly finished eating them in a few minutes.
"Even though I have such a small body I sure can eat a lot"
After I ate I decided to climb a tree and sleep on one of the thick branches as that is much more safer than sleeping of the ground.
"night night" with those being the last words of the day I closed my eyes and laid comfortably on the branch.

{In a far away castle}
I'm Ken Yagami a normal Japanese high school student, well that's in the past as now I'm the Summoned Hero of the Holter Kingdom together with my (female) childhood friend Akeno Himejima, my (female) friend during middle school Rei Nanako and last but not least my (male) best friend Ichigo Akabane.
It all started with this... (why am I talking to my self?)
{Flashback}
All four of us were in our Student Council room (I was the President by the way) brainstorming about ideas for the Bunkasai festival, it was really fun even though we were doing our work we were also messing around except Ichigo who (used to be really hype) chose not to participate which made me sad to see him this way.
I was going up to him to see if his alright until a circle with lots runes was under us but for some reason it seems only I could see it and the next second...
"OHHH!! IT WAS A SUCCESS!!" yelled a well-fed man sitting on his throne surrounded by people dancing (wearing formal medieval clothes).
"HUh what is this?" said me
"Kyaa!! Ken I'm scared!!" said Akeno grabbing on to me
While Rei took some time to notice and Ichigo was on guard besides me.
"CALM DOWN!! YOU ARE SCARING THE BRAVES!!" said a tall and muscular man plated in armour.
"Ah!! yes my bad" said the big man on the throne with a jolly expression and continued "Greeting mighty braves (not yet though) no need to be on guard we do not harm our future saviours" We all calmed down except for Ichigo glaring at the king.
"W-who are you? and w-where are we?" said Akeno trembling.
"Oh yes, mind my manners, I'm Welson Crowning Mass Holter, King of the Holter Kingdom and you currently are summoned in another world, in my throne room, as for why you are summoned it is to defeat the Demon King" said the king
"Oh ok, I'm Ke-" I was going to introduce myself until I was interrupted by King "No need we will know your name when we check your Status"
"..."
With that said the king ordered someone to bring in a shine ball "This is a Status Viewer, it allows us to see peoples statuses, these are pretty expensive so you can't find them anywhere but you can check you status for free in a Guild or Temple, any questions?"
"Not rea-" I was going to say until "Yes, I do" said Ichigo (why am I always getting interrupted?)
