Damien was a normal Highschool student, he liked anime, on the side he practiced Katana, he considered himself pretty decent at it, but he had no one to spar with. During a class, there was a flash of white light, and Damien was in a black void. Or, at least he thought it was a black void. He just couldn't see anything, actually he couldn't hear anything either.

Damien POV

"Wha- where am I?!? Just a second ago I was in class."  I felt around, it seemed like I was a slime. I moved around, I felt some moss, some rocks, and various things. "I must've been isekai'd! I didn't really like Earth anyways, it was kinda boring to be honest. But I wish I was human.." A siri like voice said in his head "Level required to shapeshift into HUMAN is 5, current level: 1." Can anyone just shapeshift? "Weird voice, what should I call you? And how can I talk!?"

"You are of the species: SHAPESHIFTER. This species allows you to transform into anything, or copy anything, as long as you have a high enough level. Currently, you are talking by using the one ability every sentient creature is born with, and uses subconsciously (A Passive Ability), Audio emission. You can call me Saith (Pronounced Say-th)."

"Can I see my status?" my status showed as followed

"Saith, what are points?"

"Points are used to unlock abilities or spells."

"Where does shapeshifting come into play in all this?"

"When you shapeshift, the stats of the being you are shapeshifting into, are added to your stats, and you turn into a mix of your original creature and the one you are transforming into. You will also get that beings skills, abilities, titles, and memories. Though this process depletes Stamina. For example, if you shapeshifted into a mage, you would gain their skills and such, while you would be a human, that can turn parts of themselves into slime."

"Wow.. thats A lot to take in.." I felt myself stomped on,  "What is that!?"

"It is a common wolf" said Saith.

I had a idea! "Can I use shapeshift on it?!"

"Yes"

"USE SHAPESHIFT ON IT!!" I felt myself morph into a wolf, I could see, I could hear. I lunged at the wolf, and killed it. Because I am basically just the same wolf with better stats, I obviously won. I could hear distant groaning. "How far away is that groaning?"

"200 meters, to your left."

Since I had been focusing on the fight, I didn't notice I was in a dense forest. Anyways I went towards the groaning, and I checked my stats.

"What Abilities can I get with my points?" hundreds of abilities showed, I chose appraise, and cypher. Appraise let me.. appraise people, and cypher let me understand, read, and write any modern language.  I had only 2 points left. I made my way to the groaning, by the time I got there is was sunrise. I saw a samurai.  I used appraise on him, and what I saw shocked me.
