'Groans'
I try to sit up and everything hurts. Why is my body so sore? I don't remember it being sore.
Wait! My eyes flash open as I take in what is around me.
Trees tens of feet in the air with large canopies blocking out the sun. Many many bushes covering the ground all around me.
I don't remember how I got here, Scratch that who am I?
All of a sudden a sharp pain happens in my head and I wince. Then a name comes to me, Pola. So my name is Pola? But how did I forget my name?
'Roarrr!'
My eyes get wide as I hear the roar of something coming from deep in the forest.
I got to move. I can't be sitting still for whatever that was!
I quickly turn to get on my hands and knees... well I guess not so quick, cause every damn thing hurts on me ugh.
I get a good look at my hands. They're not as big as I thought and definitely skinny and boney. My skin is pale and a little see through.
Then I look at my body, a tattered plant fiber tunic and pants far too big for me. My body is also super skinny.
"Did I even eat?" As I whisper out my voice cracks and squeaks. I realize then that I am thirsty and really hungry.
I slowly get to my feet and it makes me out of breath, from the pain and the weakness in my body. I got to get shelter and food. Plus figure out what happened to me.
As I take my first rough steps I look to see if there are any bushes around for berries or anything edible.
Hmm I can't really tell if there are any berries near me. It's really dark.
I stumble to the nearest tree that has a really large bush, I think it's taller than me.
'Huff' 'Huff' 'Huff'
Jeez, why is the tree so far away? It didn't seem that far from where I was looking.
After a few stumbling steps I made it to the bush!
"Please Please have something to eat." As I inspect the bush, the bush has some odd coloring inside.
I push some of the branches and leaves to the side and take a closer look. As my head moves closer I see pink, purples, cyan, and even gold inside the bush hanging off of some branches.
"Huh! Those are odd colors for a berry bush. Wait how do I- UGH!".
I fell to my knees, some of the branches hit my face. I grab my head in rippling pain.
My body involuntarily curls into a ball trying to manage.
As the pain continues I get knowledge on what normal berry plants look like. Most berry plants are different shades of green with berries being different colors. Some berries being blue, black, purple, red, orange, and green.
After some time the pain goes away and I can function again. I get up again with a struggle.
"Why does that keep happening!! But every time it does, I get knowledge? Well let's see if these berries are edible... I really hope so".
I push the branches aside and reach in to grab one of the berries. As I pull my hand back from grabbing one of the berries, I take a look at it.
The shape is not to be desired. It's a bumpy, shaped bottle, and looks like it is poisonous. Especially with the cyan color of it.
I wonder what it smells like? I bring the berry thing to my nose and smell. Hmm surprisingly smells sweet and a little fruity.

"What was that!" I frantically look around looking for the voice that just said that. My hands are slightly shaking due to nerves.
"W-who i-is it" I called out with no response. 'fuuu' "what was that?" There is no one here.
I thought to myself "Wait it said to check for more information, system?"

"Uwahhh" I throw my hands up to cover my head as I close my eyes thinking the worst. When nothing happens for a few seconds I slowly open my eyes.
As I look I see a blue screen that tells me my name, and a skill identify? What is identify?
[ Identify - By looking at objects it will tell you information about said object. ]
Interesting! I lift the berry to see if identify works like it says it does.
[Item identified- Cretumbi - A cyan berry that is edible]
YES! I can eat it! So this berry is named Cretumbi. I wonder what the other berries' names are. But first, eat!
'Crunch' 'Squish'
Hmm, it's surpassingly juicy and tastes fruity, and sour? Oh that is so sour!! My face scrunches up.
Oh that is bad! But it is edible. Something to fill me at least.
I grab a few more of the cretumbi berries to snack on. Then I look at the other colored berries.
I grab the gold berry and see what identify can tell me.
[Item identified - Gildish - A gold berry not edible.]
Well that sucks, I guess I have to look at the other berries and see if those are edible too.
[Item identified - Yisan - A pink fruit that is not edible.]
[Item identified - Dreagus - A purple berry is edible.]
Awsome! I got 2 things I can eat! I snatch a Dreagus berry. It has a scaly like texture and doesn't really smell of anything.
Well identify did say it was edible, so let's find out.
I throw the berry on my mouth and eat it. 'CRUNCH!'
"OUCH! My teeth! I grabbed my face as the berry was harder than I thought, but after a few bites it was much softer than before. It's sweet and refreshing.
"Ooo I like this one!" But as soon as I say that my mouth feels like it is on fire! Shit! It's spicy!
My eye start to tear as I fan my mouth. My mouth starts to drool and my nose starts to run.
"I don't kowth if thif is edible."
It is way too spicy I think to myself. If only it wasn't so spicy it would be good.
I throw a few of the cyan berries into my mouth. I would much rather my face scrunch up than it be on fire.
Okay now that I have some food in my belly and I feel a little stronger, time to find some water.
