Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox
Chapter 1 – WHAT THE F%#@

Chapter 1 – WHAT THE F%#@

He woke up groggily. All around him was only an endless forest. He blinked several times before cursing profusely.

'Where the fuck am I now?! First I got hit by a car. Then those assholes medics couldn't even drive me into the hospital before they crashed. Then they send a helicopter to the rescue, only for that to also crash! Can you give me a break you assholes! At least fix your shit before you send your grubby little slave workers to rescue people!'

He was exhausted and had a hard time moving. He could only hear lush forest sounds. There were no sounds of burning and people moaning from pain. It was 'silent', eerily so.

'They wouldn't ditch me... right?'

He was sweating from fear of being abandoned. Not because he would be alone, but because he would bleed out and die- Hm? He wasn't in any pain nor did it feel like his intestines were all around on the floor. He just felt... exhausted?

He was confused and looked down. He couldn't see his lower body.

'Well, shit! No wonder I feel exhausted, when I'm missing my WHOLE LOWER BODY, GODDAMMIT!'

He cursed whoever sent him here, but still tried to move his limbs. It was possible and he soon tried to wipe his face with his hand-

He froze completely, staring at the very furry paw. His mind blanked and he didn't know what to think...

[Initiating System]

He stared at the oddly familiar, yet unfamiliar text floating in front of him.

...

He stared at the text blankly, his soul slowly leaving his body.

[System was fully initiated and will assist you with your future endeavours]

'Great... fucking fantastic... DO YOU THINK I CARE ABOUT THAT?! I'M A FUCKING FURRY NOW! NO! NOT EVEN THAT! I'M A FREAKING ANIMAL! AND WHAT'S THIS 2 HP?! YOU THINK I'M A FUCKING JOKE?! A PEBBLE CAN KILL ME!'

He vented his frustration as he was very familiar with 'RPG' systems. Nothing of this spoke highly to him.

[This System will help you to get stronger, do not worry chosen one]

'I DON'T WANT TO BE CHOSEN! I WANT TO LIE INSIDE A HOSPITAL WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD AND NURSE MY WOUNDS!'

[That would be impossible]

'UHUH! SO YOU KIDNAP MY SOUL AND JUST DITCH IT INSIDE THIS SHITHOLE AND CALL IT 'getting stronger' AS IF I CARE ABOUT YOUR REASONS, SEND ME BACK!'

He was currently shouting inside his mind into empty air, unfortunately, things would get only worse from here...

[Your body has already perished in the flames, it's impossible to send you back.]

'... huh?'

His mind suddenly sobered and he stared at the text in front of him.

[Your Mind has deteriorated, so you won't be able to remember much, but you wished for this.]

[My Master, as the kind god he is, allowed the fulfilment of your dreams under the condition of ####]

[As such you were given everything you wished for and are thus unable to return to your former world.]

[Furthermore, we already anticipated your rude behaviour and slightly altered your choices.]

[Species: [Ordinary Red Fox]->[Ordinary Red Fox(Female)]]

... This was too much information for him, his mind was really slow and muddled. The only thing he knew for certain, was that he would strangle those sons of bitches for turning him into a girl. He was a virgin and now lost his only chance to redeem himself as a man. He cursed for several minutes and the system patiently waited for him.

[Moreover, as this system wishes your survival it will do its best to assist you and correct you.]

[You have obtained a new title: [Foul-mouthed]]

'... Stop... just stop...'

He finally gave up on cussing and tried to rearrange his thoughts. He had an awful headache that wasn't lessening each time he tried dabbling into his memories.

'So...'

[Yes?]

'You are to help me... right?'

[That is correct]

'And guide me?'

He was exhausted and his mind didn't work like it would normally, so he was grasping anything he could use to alleviate his current situation.

[That is correct]

'What do I do?'

He asked, surprisingly politely that even the system paused for a moment.

[User should get familiar with his current stats and abilities.]

His name was blanked and he couldn't remember his name, this bothered him greatly and he couldn't move on without his name.

'Name...'

He tried to think of any name he was familiar with and liked, but his headache wouldn't allow it.

'Give me... my name...'

He was tired.

The system paused for longer than it was necessary.

[Are you sure?]

'I need a name... Every Hero needs one and Every Villain doesn't need one...'

[...]

[What about 'Aiko'?]

The system asked timidly, yet excitedly.

'... I still won't forgive you for turning me into a girl... remember that...'

[Name: - -> Aiko]

He then carefully tapped the species text.

[Species: [Ordinary Red Fox Cub(Female)]]

[Description: Completely ordinary female fox with a short lifespan.]

'...'

He wished that the system would at least give him something cooler, something like... like... he couldn't remember...

[Beast Rank: Animal]

[The weakest being there is, a mortal can easily butcher you.]

'...'

He really hated her... her? How did he know it was she? No matter, he is getting more and more tired...

He had mixed feelings about this and he didn't really know how to tackle this, but he was sure it would be alright... How? He didn't know how or why. He just felt this nice, gentle and warm energy caressing his body as his mind was slowly slipping away.

[WAIT! YOU BITCH! DON'T YOU DARE- THAT'S IT! I'M CASTRATING YOU! YOU GODDAMN FEATHER DUSTER!]

His mind was already half gone and he couldn't really hear what she was saying, not to mention he couldn't really understand what the system was saying even if he wanted...
