《Chapter 1》The Little Abomination
Drifting through the dimensional plane between worlds, whilst swimming through total darkness.
I began to think about the numerous possibilities of my new life.
'I will be presumably born as a baby or some kind of infant of the Terrakhan race, but I don't know what they look like.' I thought so to myself.
'I wonder what my appearance would look like as a Terrakhan.' My mind then wonders.
'Is the Terrakhan race similar to humans in terms of body shape, or something monstrous? They are rock demons after all.' I thought.
'If I recall correctly, a normal infant would cry the first thing they are born, as that would then signify that the baby is born alive and healthy, right.' I thought to myself, whilst trying to find some things to pass the time.
I think hardly, 'So what about the Terrakhan race. Do they cry after they hatched out from their eggs?'
After what seems like hours, it finally happened, and streaks of red light soon entered my line of vision.
It rapidly expanded until it became a sort of vortex, in which, it then pulls me in.
I instinctively tried to move closer towards the red light, as I soon entered the void like spider crack in the dimensional plane.
'It's time to get out of here. My rebirth is near.' I screamed my mind out, eager to be birthed into this new world.
I was then immediately stripped away from the darkness, but instead, shortly afterwards I was hit by an intensely bright light.
'Augh, my eyes! The light is blinding my eyes!' I screamed out internally.
The intensity of the light brightness was so blinding, that it sorts of made me want to gouge my eyes out or possibly covered them with my hands.
However, for this very moment, I am non-corporeal, that means that I don't have a physical mortal body, much less even have hands to cover my literal nonexistent eyes with.
Now I'm just a bundle of light particles, all jumbled up and conglomerated together, that sort of forms a shape that resembles a human being.
Sniffle! Sniffle!
'I really wanted to cry.' I thought so to myself.
So that's why I did, but what I got in return was not what I had expected. It sounded so different.
"Kukukukuku..." The sound of my cry.
'What the fuck was that! It sounded so demonic, not even a beast could make that sound.' I thought.
And the facts then hit me, 'Well, I'm not even human in the first place. So why should it obviously matter to me?'
After hearing my demonic baby cry, I kept on hearing some distorted followed up sounds.
So I assumed that it must be the sounds of my voice reverberating off the surface of the affirmation eggshell.
Ding!
'This is really so much like a game more than I thought. I really can't contain my excitement.' I thought so to myself.
I then recited the keyword inside of my head, 'Status.'
'I've pretty much got a good set of skills, though my overall stats are pretty mediocre, and that is way before I'll set my 100 bonus unallocated stats points granted by the system upon reincarnation.' I thought so to myself.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
'Though the malnourished state displayed on my status screen is pretty concerning. It should be something that I should be worrying about at this current moment.' I thought.
'Well, Shit! The luck that I have is quite terrible!' I grimaced, showing intense disgust.
I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs, but I managed held myself back a little.
'So that is why that man from before, gazed at me with a look of pity. He must have somehow predicted or foresaw was about to happen.' I thought to myself, slightly anxious, and a bit hesitant.
'Well, Damn! Fuck! Could he have been responsible for this...I don't know.' I lamented, unable to vent out my full frustration.
'Let's check out this debuff, shall we. And how bad can this debuff be.' I then press on the view button.
'Well, Fuck Me! You gotta be fucking kidding me. At this rate, I might as well be a fucking cripple.' I thought to myself, screaming internally in frustration.
'Blind in one eye, with a deformed right arm. What am I? Hellboy or something.' I made a slight sarcastic joke about myself.

'Well, since I have plenty of time stuck in this prison. Why not test the skill out why I have the chance.' I thought to myself, whilst contemplating upon what to do next from now on.
'Create Rank One 1 star bronze golem core.' I issued a verbal (mental) command.
Right after I've used the {Core Creation} ability, I can instinctively feel my magical power being quickly drained from withinside my body.
The sensation that I've felt upon using up almost all of my magical power the first time, felt a bit unnerving at first, but it's not something unusual that I've never experienced before. It's akin to having stayed up all night playing video games, reading manga, or watching anime.
A glowing bronze orb, the size of a golf ball, then forms, appearing right in front of me. It was currently floating seamlessly through the vast expanses of the darkness.
'Hmmm... Screw it.' I thought to myself, whilst going on a whim.
I decided to invest all of my remaining unallocated stats points into wisdom and intelligence in order to increase my storage of magical power; adding 67 unallocated stats point into wisdom and 33 unallocated stats point into intelligence.
It naturally increased the size of my mana pool, around doubling my overall total mana points.
'My MP has now risen to 233, and now I enough magical power to use the {Core Creation} skill again.' I thought so to myself.
After the second time, I've used the skill {Core Creation}. I felt myself become mentally drained of energy.
So I fell asleep surrounded by two glowing bronze orbs floating around me.
-1 Day Later-
'Huh, what's this. A notification.' Out of curiosity, I press on the blue screen.
'So I can still recover my mana whilst sleep. After using up all of my mana, I can automatically recover MP. At the same time, that would still increase my skill proficiency helping me grow stronger by the second.' I thought.
Thinking to myself, 'I wonder how many 1-star bronze rank golem cores I can create by the end of the month.'
