So I'm a Monster, So What?
Synopsis: Loosely based off of "Kumo desu ga, Nani Ka? (So I'm a Spider, So What?)", after a incident on Earth, a human is reborn as a Monster from Monster Hunter universe, and then is thrust into the wild. Will they survive and evolve in a world of Monsters and Humans, or die trying?

Wake up, fool!

Nngh… what… who…?

Get up! You've been chosen by The System and Gaia to be The Gamer of this world… so get the hell up!

Okay, okay, I'm getting- woah…

About time; Welcome idiot! You've been chosen by The System and your benefactor Planet to be one of the many "Gamers" reincarnated into other Worlds to either help or hamper them. I'm your personal System Guide, you can call me Flux. To get started with this whole she-bang, think or say 'Menu' to begin the tutorial. Of course, we also understand you're not a dumbass… either way, do it!

'Oh god not one of those things… fine. Menu.'

Character Status Menu
Skills/Abilities
Titles
Quests
Inventory
Materia
Help
Forms

Lets keep things simple for simpletons like you. The Character Status Menu holds all your information, mainly stats, your health, mana, and stamina points, along with some other fancy things. First of all, the Skills/Abilities section is very important, as it has a list of all learned and known skills and abilities. The Titles section shows a list of Titles given artificially by the game, while the Quests section will show a list of active quests you are partaking on. In your Inventory section, you will find items that could heal you, restore mana/stamina, cure ailments, and more! Your Materia menu shows all available Materia you can equip to yourself, and finally the Help system to give any answers to your dumb questions. Oh, and the Forms section is a surprise!

I would very much like it if you could open your Character Status Menu. Do it. Do it now.

'So pushy… fine… Character Status Menu'

'That's a lot of information… but somewhat easy to understand. I wonder how Strength and the other stats that haven't been explained will work… Strength would obviously be for Melee attacks… but what about Intelligence? At least my luck is pretty okay for a beginner… I wouldn't want to start off with no Luck…'

You know what, for being somewhat smart I'll give you a point to Intelligence. Now, go to your Skills/Abilities menu!

'Well thanks… for no explanation. Hope you'll explain it later. Anyways… Skills/Abilities'

'That'll be useful… I wouldn't want to be turned into a Frog in an instant… goodness I hate Touch Me's'

We'll skip the rest of the stuff as I'm pretty sure you're just as bored as I am, and lets go to Forms! You'll be really surprised about what is in there, I bet!

'Somebodies excited. Well, I guess I am curious too… Alright, show me the Forms then'

Available Forms
Human
Palico
Great Jaggi
Great Wroggi
Great Maccao
Great Jaggras
Great Baggi
Yian Kut-Ku
Tzitzi Ya-ku
Kulu Ya-ku

Look at that list! You get to choose what you want to be… but please, don't be boring and choose a Human… also, another Gamer already is playing as a Palico, but… go ahead if you really want.

'I know exactly who you're talking about… lets see. Jaggi, Maccao, Jaggras, and Kulu are all neutral, and in personal experiences, only one of those actually gave me any trouble. Great Wroggi deals with poison, Baggi deals with sleep, Yian deals with fire and can fly, and then Tzitzi stuns people. I think I would want to go with… hmm… I'm going to choose Great Maccao. They're pretty agile and I like the colorations. Depending on where I spawn in, it could suit my environment!'

For a wise choice, you are given a single point to Intelligence and Wisdom.

Commencing Spawning!

Anyways, that's pretty much all you need to know. The more you level, the more forms you'll get a choice of access to. Basically, consider yourself a 'Shapeshifter'. You'll gain a choice of 3 monsters every 5 levels, so watch out for what you choose. When you spawn in, check out your character sheet and be careful, you aren't the strongest thing on Gaia right now!

'Well, thank you for the vote of confidence, Flux. I hope I spawn in sometime within Crisis Core, or even before Zack dies… I always feel bad for Aeris regarding his death, and preventing her death would be another thing I would fix… damn Sephiroth…'

Spawning Complete

Loading Character

Within a blink of my eyes, I was on Gaia. Around me was crisp greenery, no sight of other monsters in sight. It was quite beautiful, and closing my eyes for a moment and focusing, I could almost hear the hush whisperings of the Lifestream through my crest feathers. Speaking of, let me look at my Character Status Menu really quickly, and probably my Skills/Abilities menu.

Simple skills for a Maccao, though I could always learn new skills. I wonder if the two skills I have as a Maccao will stay with me regardless of form… no, probably not. Lets take a look at myself. My claws are covered in plated bird-like skin, along with my legs. My body is a mix of green and lime green, and yeah… I'm a pretty normal looking Maccao! Lets look around now… hmm… oh, hey, who are you?

Lets see if I can learn Observe… "Observe."

New Skill Obtained

Observe [Level 1] – At lower levels, enables you to see the name and health of your enemies, see the durability of weapons/armor, and the name of certain items or materia. At higher levels, you will see more things.

Kalm Fang
Level 1
HP: 17/17
- A common foe in the Midgar area.

So I was near Midgar, but not that close… damn, I hope I'll be able to level up fast…! Lets summon a Maccao friend to help out and start grinding! The Kalm Fang seems passive at the moment, but very soon it'll be aggressive. Alright, lets summon a friend!

"Summon Maccao Pack" activated with a roar, a shimmering portal appearing next to me as a tinier version of me, excluding magnificent head crest, appeared at my side. It perked up at the sight of me and gave off a chirp much like a Velociraptor! So cute… I'll name you Bob! I hope you'll stick around for a while, buddy!

I gaze back at the Kalm Fang and lean back on my tail… ready and… "Lunge!" I hissed as I catapulted at the wolf-like monster, slamming feet first into it, catching it by surprised, and then Bob followed up by a headbutt. In total… hm… 'Observe?'

Kalm Fang
Level 1
HP: 11/17

That's a lot of damage, but I doubt I'll get that advantage next time. The wolf snarls in pain and snaps its maw in my direction, eyes full of ire. I grinned back, a maw full of sharp teeth before roaring at the other monster. Sure, I may be as tall as a human, but so was this Kalm Fang! The wolf lunged with a howl, latching onto my armored claws, feeling more like a pinch than anything. I snarled and chomped down on the wolfs head, dealing 2 damage while Bob latched onto its tail and began to tug on it with its own sharp teeth.

The Kalm Fang yelped and consequecly let go of my claw, and then met the side of my spiked tail, getting a fatal hit. The wolf fell to the ground, unlatched from my arm, and slowly began to disappear into the Lifestream in many green orbs that also faded from view. Feeling victorious, I rose my head to the air and let a roar out, boasting my win. Now… lets check out Character Status Menu for a second and then my Skills/Abilities.
