When consciousness fades from existence, then returns after a while, it’s a strange feeling.
On a floating island, a primeval forest covered the land.
【Ugh, my body feels so heavy. It’s like there’s a lump of flesh pressing down on me. Heh, and it’s all fluffy, too.】
You slowly opened his eyes. As his vision gradually came into focus, he saw the light once more.
“Huh...” A fluffy black ball of fur was lying on top of him.
“What is this?”
You instinctively reached out to touch the black ball. But when he saw his own hand, he was shocked to realize it wasn’t human.
—What the hell? My arm’s so thick! What happened to me?!
You cried out in shock, making the black ball of fur tremble. Then it stretched out, revealing a black fox cub.
“You’re so loud, big bro.”
The little black fox, looking like she’d just woken up, stretched and responded to You’s yelling.
“(That voice sounds familiar.) Y-you’re my little sister?”
“Mm-hm.”
Hearing those words come from a fox’s mouth, You calmed down quite a bit. But just as he was about to say something, the black fox in front of him pressed a tiny paw over his mouth.
“OK, you don’t have to say anything. Just listen to me. I woke up about half an hour ago, while you were still unconscious. Of course, I reacted pretty much the same way you just did. Once I calmed down, I took a rough look at our situation.”
1. We seem to still be inside the GE game. We can still check our own profiles and stuff, but we can’t contact the administrators, and the option to log out has disappeared.
2. Our bodies seem to have turned into fox-spirit cubs. You can check your stats now. The way to open them is the same as in GE: just think “Status.”
3. Big bro, you look so cute right now. I love it. Let me touch your soft, fluffy fur again, okay?
After she finished speaking, Nai pounced into You’s snow-white fur and rubbed her face against it over and over, looking blissfully happy.
As for You, faced with his little sister’s shameless antics, he still hadn’t quite processed what was going on. He stared blankly at the fluffy ball that was now his little sister.
“Oh... (Status.)”
He followed his little sister’s instructions and silently thought the word. An information window with a golden border immediately popped up.

You looked at the information on the panel, then at his little sister, the fur fanatic, who was still rubbing her face against him. He felt the breeze drifting by and breathed in the air around him. Everything felt so real—nothing like anything GE could make him feel.
“This can’t be real, can it, sis? Did we actually get transported into the game world...? Or is this some new event the game company’s running?”
This sudden turn of events left You baffled. Why had he and his little sister woken up like this, and why were they in the game? They couldn’t contact the administrators, and everything around them felt so real. Their situation was just like something out of a novel.
“Mmm~ o(*￣▽￣*)o Your little sis doesn’t know either, but one thing’s for sure: we’re in serious danger right now.”
“Huh? (What do you mean...?)”
You didn’t quite understand what his little sister meant. But when she raised a paw and pointed to the side, he got it.
“I... I don’t believe it... No wonder this place looks so familiar. Is this the primeval forest on the floating island?!”
“That’s right. Which means there could be Bigleaf Demons in here.”
Nai said it calmly, but You couldn’t help shivering.
Bigleaf Demons lived in the upper reaches of primeval forests.
They were sadistic magical beasts, infamous for their brutal methods and their habit of slaughtering other races. They usually numbered in the hundreds or even thousands, and every adult Bigleaf Demon was over level 100. In other words, they were in extremely dangerous territory.
Crack...
While they were still talking, a huge branch fell from above, nearly smashing into You and Nai.
Not long after the branch hit the ground, a series of loud cries came from overhead.
Thud, thud~
Then a monster about two meters tall, with dark green skin and the face of an ape, dropped from above and landed not far from You and Nai.
“A juvenile Bigleaf Demon—and right after we mentioned them?!”
