Day after day and year after year, the final remaining scarecrow on the abandoned Bramble Hedge Farm protected its withering crops from the massive horde of crows. It was a valiant effort, but the unmoving guardian couldn’t last for much longer.
Every rotation of the sun, more and more of the crops were eaten or died. Soon, the ex-farm was a nest for crows and the scarecrow was fully covered in his feathered enemies. He thought all was lost until…

What's this voice in my head? Wait, I can think? The scarecrow was confused, then happy. I have feelings! Amazing! I’ve no idea what this system is but I already love it. Wait, if I can think, can I move. A smile spread across its face. I can smile! Slowly, it raises its arm, wiggling its fingers.
The scarecrow, now with its ability to move, suddenly punched one of the crow. Finally, I can punish you for desecrating Master’s farm. I will kill you all!

The scarecrow ran around frantically, kicking and punching and all the crows it could see. He had to damage each crow a few times to kill them so most of them could fly away. He ferociously charged at them while wildly flailing his fists around. Eventually, a pile of the crows lay dead but the rest had long since flown away.

[Crow Feather

After scaring away the crows, he went into the owner's old house. I apologize Master, but I need some items from you. The scarecrow loved his deceased owner dearly, as he was the scarecrow’s creator. From the house he took a needle, thread, and a dagger that was kept in case of emergencies.

Next, he took the needle, thread, and crow feathers and tried to sew them into a coat. He failed the first few times, but each attempt his skill improved and on his fourth attempt he was successful. He needed the cloak to keep him warm, and hopefully serve as a type of light armor.

Now that he had a weapon, some clothing, and a class, even though he wasn't sure what a class was, the scarecrow felt more prepared than ever to finish the job his master started and kill those pesky crows.
The scarecrow next set off to find more of the black winged hellspawns to kill. He decided he would be the hero all farmers needed and utterly destroy their base. He started running after them, to find their main nest and exterminate them all. After finding it, he hid and waited behind a tree for his stamina to fully recover, then jumping out and scouting the area.
The nest was massive, made of billions of twigs and even some trees. The tree the scarecrow was hiding behind was 100 feet away from the nest, as all the surrounding ones had been used to make the nest. Hundreds of crows lined the walls of their fortress, some even equipped with small spiked helmets.
“This will be dangerous, but I need to do this. These vermin have stolen my master’s crops for years, and now I will take vengeance.”
Now with his health and stamina fully recovered, he sprinted towards the nest. Some crows spotted him and dived towards him, but the scarecrow ducked and slashed above him, killing them in one hit thanks to his new title and weapon.

“Accept class!”
As he grew closer, more and more crows flew at him, resulting in him losing a few health points. However, he kept slashing and killing them in one or two hits. Soon, he was directly in front of the gate. Just as he was about to enter their fortress, 2 very large crows with armor and swords leapt down from the walls and blocked his path.

They charged towards him but the scarecrow jumped over them quickly and slashed one on the head.
[Critical Hit! 24 Damage]
They turned around swiftly and continued their attack. With two enemies that were faster and dealt more damage than the previous ones, the scarecrow was barely dodging some of their attacks and taking heavy damage by the others.
Soon, they both charged at him again but the scarecrow dodged again, then released a circular slash aimed towards their heads which killed both of them.
