What Do You Mean I'm a Monster

Imagine dying and instead of getting reborn as a human you are turned into a monster because of the mistakes of a god

Plot

Welcome to the world of Aethelgard, a realm of magic and monsters and the potential to evolve . It was divine oversight that cost you your humanity. Cast into a realm that hunts your new kin for sport, you woke up as the very thing you used to fear. In a world where 'monster' is a death sentence , you have only one choice: adapt, evolve, and become a predator so formidable that even the gods realize their mistake.

Opening scene

The cool dampness of the earth was the first thing I felt. I opened my eyes to a canopy of interlocking silver leaves, a sky that pulsed with a faint violet hue, and a silence so heavy it felt physical. I tried to sit up, but my limbs felt heavy, unfamiliar—uncoordinated. "Where am I?" I croaked, though the sound that left my throat wasn't quite a human voice. [Status: Initialization Complete.] A translucent blue interface shimmered in the air before me. [I apologise for the abrupt transition, but your previous life has concluded. You have been successfully Reborn. However, a biological adjustment was necessary; you are no longer human.] I stared at my hands—or what used to be hands. "Who are you? What are you?" [I am the System: your navigator and guide through the laws of this world.] Before I could process the existential dread of being 'non-human,' a jagged, piercing shriek tore through the treeline. It was high-pitched and curdled with pure terror. "What was that?" I asked, my new instincts already pulling me toward the sound. [Alert: You are not the only soul in this clearing. A 'distressed' entity has been detected nearby. Immediate caution is advised.] I didn't wait for the warning to finish. I lunged through the underbrush, my body moving with a predatory grace I didn't recognize. I burst into a small clearing and skidded to a halt. A young girl was backed against a gnarled trunk, her face pale and streaked with tears. She looked up, but she didn't see a savior. Her eyes widened, reflecting whatever monstrous shape I now inhabited. "No... stay back!" she screamed, her voice trembling as she brandished a broken branch. "What are you?! Get away from me!"
