Liz wakes up in a fantasy world a boss monster. Hopefully she can live long enough to make it past level 1.
Level 1 (1)
I scream flinching as I wake up expecting the pain from being hit by the truck to slam into me like... well a truck. I shift around my body I'm not in any pain but it feels weird, what on earth is going on? I try to open my eye but at first, nothing then when I do see something it is not like looking at it... rather it is more like I was just understanding it.

I see...

That... race? Shouldn't it be human, and the name was Liz, not Tier One Boss whatever. System! I demand my name be changed. I wait and nothing happens so I open my eyes normally avoiding paying attention to the state of my now inhuman body definitely not the same hell. I look around myself for being a boss I sure am lacking something though my body thrums with a hidden power though that might just be the whole mana thing. If I wasn't you know not a person anymore the whole magic thing would definitely be the highlight of my day. Looking around I can see a light in the distance some kind of tower on the shoreline in the foggy horizon, a lighthouse maybe. There are several dried-looking fields around me and rundown houses close by so we definitely have people here. There is a forest in the other direction away from people which might be good with the whole boss monster thing don't want to end up against a tutorial protagonist. I could of course try the open ocean... which is a thought. Well, I do have to decide.

Level 1 (2)
The lighthouse and farms are signs of human habitation, so I know I am not alone in a strange wild world with nothing but pop-ups to keep me company. I look at my wing, hopping around, my claws digging into the wet thatch around me. My feathers gleam in the moonlight and I shiver at how natural it feels to be a bird. A quick flight even gets me to a new roof with no problem. I take to flight like a fish to water, not that I'm a fish I'm a bird now after all. I look up and am flashed by the light of the lighthouse. Well, a working lighthouse is more likely to have people than these farmhouses with collapsed roofs and ruined fences.

Flapping my wings I take a few more test flights, then once I'm comfortable I let out a caw for courage and take to the air heading to the lighthouse. I fly pretty quickly and it only takes like an hour to get to the lighthouse I land on the roof noticing a nice little out-of-the-way nitch under the supports. It's nice and dark and calls for me. I start to hop over before stopping as I hear voices above the light.

"We have to get more crystals from the elves next time they come over to the port." The voice is deep and masculine with a strange accent that shifts the vowels deeper and clips the 'th' sound. I shift the dark space still calling as a more feminine voice responds.

"Going up to port is worthwhile anyway we have to pick up more jerky, and holy tonic. The undead keeps coming from old Huld's Town." The second accent is similar but has an airier lilt and puffs around the h's and p's.

"You keep saying that but we don't need to get off this rock to bother with them."

"Cept the bone wrights keep walking the shallows over." Whatever the masculine voice was going to respond with is cut off by the sound of the shutting door. I move hopping up to the deck watching a mirror slowly spin around a glowing crystal the shine of it catching my eyes and almost entrancing me. Hopping around I can't see any port that the two were talking about. I look at the door by wings and talons don't do knobs.

With the closest I can do to a frown on my face I look around and feel out my plans, I could see what was so tempting about the dark spot, I could wait up here and try to talk with the keepers, I could... I stop I didn't really have any other options I could explore around the village but it's a flight and apparently has undead. Or maybe I could wait for a boat... Nah I am not the kind of person to wait around definitely do or die kinda person before the whole birdification.

So dark hole, or people... Or I can feel that strange bubbling that the hole calls to maybe just go into the crystal's enclosure and poke it do whatever the hole makes me want to do with the head of the lighthouse. The light of it I would guess.
