The Person formerly known as Anii ⚧
Prologue
It was a chilly spring morning as a teenage school girl left her family home to rush to the train station. Everything seemed normal. She was usually late. The wind kept blowing her dark brown hair into her face, while was annoying. A look at her phone and she began to run. "Crap. Only three minutes until the train leaves." She said under her breath. Within two minutes, she was in front of the train station. She swiped her pass at the automatic gate and ran up the escalator. Her train wasn't there yet. The LED panel said her train was two minutes late due to an incident.
Suddenly, the sky then lit up to a bright white and red. Blinded by the light, the girl just said: "What?" After that everything faded to white.
Rebirth
In a dark cavern, a robed man was drawing on the rocky ground with a piece of chalk. The drawings seemed to be a spell circle of some sort. The purpose of the circle was yet to be known. All that could probably be determined is that the man had probably been drawing it for a while now as it looked intricate. Finally finished with the spell circle, the man picked up his staff and went to the center of the circle. He tapped his staff on the ground and focussed his power into his staff to the spell circle. Then his eyes shot open as the spell circle began to glow red.
"Crap. I forgot the catalyst." The man said, yet he couldn't move. His feet were locked in place on the spell circle. Then he said: "Ouch." before disappearing in a mist of blood.
As the mist cleared, a young adult woman or at least a figure that appeared to be one, stood at the place where the robed man stood. She had dark brown hair and a white gem on her forehead. Her eyes were closed, but as soon as her gem turned blue, she opened her eyes. In shock, she looked around, unfamiliar with her surroundings. Just moments before, she stood at a train station and now she stood in a dimly lit cavern. She seemed to be standing in a puddle. As she looked down, the puddle was red or brown. The lack of light made it difficult to discern the color of the liquid. Near her on the ground was a robe. Still shaky on her legs, she went to grab the robe, noticing it was soaked.
She tried to speak, but nothing came out. All of a sudden, an interface appeared before her. She tried to reach out to it, but her hand went right through it. It seemed either not corporeal or something only she saw. The interface read:
「 General 」 「 Attributes 」 「 Skills 」 「 Special 」
Name: None
Species: Golem
Element: Human
Level: 1
HP: 100
MP: 150
Skill Points: 5
Please allocate skill points.
The young woman then thought: "What is this? Am I in a game? Species is golem? And element is human?! What is that supposed to mean?! Normally elements are stuff like air, fire, earth and water in role playing games!" She then looked further down. "Level 1? MP? Cool! It's a world with magic I guess. I bet I got isekai'd. But then what happened back in my world? Nevermind. I can't think about that now. I first need to see how to use these skill point and how many skills they can buy me." She thought since she still wasn't capable of speaking.
She then somehow managed to open the skill tab. There were countless skills. This list was insanely long and towards the bottom, skills cost upwards of 1000 skill points. Important first were useful skills. Skill that were going to help her around this world. She quickly found verbal skills with the description that they were influenced by the charisma attribute. "Speaking level 1. SP cost: 1" Yes! First skill down. She tried saying something but when she tried to speak her old language, her mouth wouldn't cooperate and she'd just babble like a baby. It seemed she would even have to learn a language too. She looked through the list again and noticed many different languages. One skill however was called "Common language (Tocha) level 1". If she remembered correctly from school, a common language meant that is understood across different nations, even when it is not the national language. So in her old world for instance, English, Spanish or even Hindi for example were common languages.
She decided to take the common language skill too. The woman decided to give it a shot. It really was a basic level skill as what came out of her mouth seemed to be basic language with a lack of sophistication: "Now I need to find my way out this cave. I need to wash this robe. I can then wear it." It could have come out better, but she didn't know enough about the language to make better sentences.
The woman decided to check for a sight skill to maybe see a little better in the dark. "Nightvision level 1" A skill read. Without hesitation, she accepted it. Finally, she could see better. She was now able to discern the color of the puddle. With a gasp of shock and a stumble, she now realized that she had been standing in a pool of blood this whole time. Even part of the wall was speckled with blood. "What did I get into?" She then said.
After she caught herself, she went to search fresh water to wash the robe and her feet in and think about where to spend the other two skill points. She wandered towards what sounded like water. To her luck, a little bit down the cavern was a small pool with a tiny waterfall. The woman looked into the pool, curious about her reflection. She mostly looked like her old self, just rather like a 20-something year old and not like a 16 year old. Her dark brown hair was longer, she had this weird blue gem on her forehead which wouldn't come off and felt like it was part of her and her eyes were most noticeable of all. Her irises were like a bluish rainbow and here pupils were purple and clover shaped. "I guess this is what the golem part is." She thought before going on to wash the robe and her feet.
The fresh born female golem then put on the robe, which obviously was too wide for her and went down to her ankles. "This will have to do until I find something better. But now I need to spend my two skill points." She thought and pulled up the interface. "I probably need to get skills useful for defending myself. So I should look for hand to hand combat and maybe toughness or something I can stand more damage with." Soon she found and acquired the skills she had looked for. "Hand-to-hand combat level 1" and "Unarmored defense level 1".
Soon after a message on the interface appeared: "You have been awarded a special passive skill [Weak Golem Species Trait]." "WEAK?!" The female golem shouted. "Is that supposed to mean the trait is weak or that I am weak?" She went on to look at the skill description. "A strength and defense bonus for the Weak Golem Species." Now getting angry, the female golem exclaimed: "WEAK GOLEM SPECIES?!!! What the hell?" However she calmed down as something caught her eye under the special tab. 「Evolution tree」. Under it, she saw "Weak Golem" and over it a bunch of boxes with question marks branching from it. Her eyes lit up with excitement and the gem on her head turned yellow for the duration of her excitement. "Evolution tree? I have possibilities!" She said.
Now she was sort of set up with her skills and had something to wear, it was now time to find her way out of this cavern. Maybe find something to fight or a town to visit.
