he opened his eyes and took a look at his surroundings, surrounded by trees and a green landscape a beautiful scenery he never saw in his life before until now, he stood there taking in the view, it was a beautiful forest full of rocks grass and lots of trees until he snaped out of his daze.
hm? where am i? is this heaven? no i am still alive...then how? wait a minute this is weird why am i short, i can't feel my limbs, no, or rather i have limbs but how do i move...
he stood there confused wondering what happened to him, last, he remembers he had been in a car accident, this sensation, he thought, i don't seem like i am in a hospital bed, no, but rather this doesn't seem to be a hospital as all!
"what's this i don't understand where am i? well, some kind of forest obviously" he thought, he didn't know what has happened to him or where he was until he realized he wasn't a human,
" what's this i am not a human then what am i??" he thought and then he tried to move by using his limbs he found himself able to move, he was fast moving all his six limbs.
"This seems weird why do i hear crackling noises every time i move...not only that but my vision is wider than when i was a human its now a 320° vision...its low detail unfortunately..., from all this information i just gathered only means one thing and one thing only"
he didn't want to think of it that way but knowing it he had no choice but to accept it, he is now a bug! a beetle to be precise, he knows it because when he was a human, he used to know everything about bugs, he used to catch them and study them and he used to get bullied for being a bug freak, but because his past life obsession he didn't have much choice but to accept his fate as a bug.
"Well, so that's how it is...i am now a beetle, my senses all feel different, hm... from my past life knowledge i now know that i have compound eyes which are Thousands of ommatidia forming a mosaic image, jeez no wonder i have half-ass detailed vision,
from my knowledge, Beetles vision varies across species, reflecting their diverse habitats and lifestyles. Some beetles exhibit remarkable visual adaptations, allowing them to thrive in specific environments. Most beetles have compound eyes in the front of their heads, allowing them to see what is in front of them and use their antennae to sense what is around them or behind.
the problem is...he has no idea which one he has, Insects have useful equipment to help them navigate their world, such as compound eyes, which see objects as pixelated. Bees and butterflies can see ultraviolet light, which is not inferior to human vision.
"Ugh why did i have to have compound eyes, no wonder this beautiful green forest looks pixelated..." but then again, he looked at the bright side, beetles antennae, they are used for smelling, tasting and sensing vibration, he then thought of that he had a blurry vision but the antennae add texture, smell and distance combined it was like having a 3D radar of environment, which made him feel a little better.
he then got startled by a panel floating to his right, the panel was translucent like a digital screen and was green colored it was saying

he was surprised about what was written on the panel, first of all how can he see this panel in a HD vision, second of all can bugs all do this? or beetles to be exact? multiple things caught his attention, for example the nameless part, in fact he didn't remember his old name when he was a human and how would he gain one?
the other thing that caught his attention was why is there MP?? he said annoyed, what would a bug need MP for?? MP means mana points, right? what made the situation more absurd that the panel was a system and that he has attributes points and skills, speaking of skills, he had two of them the tackle skill which from the name is a tackle and it does 10 damage he had no idea if that was much or not, and second was the appraisal skill simply an analyzing skill used for analyzing and using it to Scan creatures, objects, terrain.
he then thought of using the appraisal skill on himself, but before that he thought why have an appraisal skill in the first place? he thought it was associated with the something that bugs have the antennas and others, as for tackle the system said he had 3 horns two from the stag beetle's and the one in the middle from the rhino beetle, meaning as the system said he was what the system called a stag-rhino beetle, he was a mix of both he had no idea if that was normal or not, the fact that he was a 50 centimeters beetle was much itself.
he then thought to himself there is only one way for that to happen, i see i am in a fantasy world, yes, he thought that would explain why he had mana points.
he then used the appraisal skill on himself

[Appraisal]
that was the full effect of the appraisal skill he has, first of all it wasn't that different from what the system showed that because the system has his stats and skills and everything the appraisal used so there were no differences in it.
he thought to himself it will be useful in the future, he then tried to move and turn around walking and jumping and trying everything his new body can, he tried flying it was a boost that sent him off from the ground and hit a tree and fell in his back
"ouch" he winced but once again there was no actual pain in it, it was just faint pressure, he got on his six legs again and spotted something new in the distance a giant rock a boulder in this forest.
wow what a giant rock it's even very big and i am a rough 50 centimeters that rock is still towering, he glanced at his system panel the skill [tackle]
there is only one way to see how strong it is and test the limits of this new body, he thought the first thing he did is that he walked to the boulder and slipped his Two Lateral Stag Horns under it, he can use those two horns for simple things that will be useful such as push, grapple and holding things, he then attempted to lift the rock up
"Rrrghhh… grnnnk… craaackk…!" he then was surprised when he found out that it seemed very light and easy to lift, after all Rhinoceros beetles are able to lift up to 850 times their body weight, that's equivalent to a human lifting a fully loaded truck or a blue whale's tongue! that's only for rhinoceros beetles, he then thought a mix of stag beetle and a rhinoceros beetle no wonder lifting such a massive rock was easy,
he then placed the rock down thinking "no wonder i can lift that massive rock effortlessly" he puffed his non-existent beetle chest proudly
"Ok then time for tackle attack that rock" he then got himself some distance between him and the rock, he couldn't handle his excitement from the sheer thought of what would happen to the rock if he used the skill tackle with his two stag horns and his rhinoceros' horn
he then readied himself and with a charge
skill [tackle lvl:1 activated]
he launched himself towards the rock using the skill tackle with the wings boost and hot the rock with a loud
"CRACK"
