Chapter 32 :
(So...I’m still lost. And it doesn’t seem like my mental map will help me either.)
Commenting to himself, Will took another quick look at the sprinkled colorful dots in the map.
From what he could tell, somewhere in front of him, there were a cluster of green dots surrounding a white dot. Next to them was 2 clear dots.
As he watched, several of the green dots on the map flickered and disappeared. Then the sole white dot starting moving away from the 2 clear dots with the green dots following.
(...It’s almost like I am watching a game or something...Let’s see here. The white dot is most likely some sort of leader figure leading the green dots. Then those 2 clear dots are...the Icy Aplant monsters? Or something similar I’m guessing? They fought and the 2 clear dots won. Mewmememe...mew feel like a analyzer or something.)
Then remembering that he was still lost, and that he had a bunch of mana that he now could feely spend. Will started summoning as many zombies as he could.
Before him, was a mini army of 20 zombies.
-----------
Mana : 10/40
---------------
(Seems like I have enough for emergencies.. )
(Alright, men! You are to search and find my base...It’s probably somewhere around this forest. You have less than 2 hours to find it! SCATTER!)
Mentally ordering them, the 20 cat zombies separated and dashed in every direction. Attempting to fulfill their mission.
As the last zombie disappeared from view past the trees, Will noticed that the sun had already begun to descend into the horizon.
Walking over to a nearby tree, Will claw his way up. With the now familiar ritual of laying on the branch while tucking his wings around another branch so that he wouldn’t fall off, Will layed on the tree to rest for a while.
-20 Minutes Later-
(I’m bored...bored, bored, BORED! I wanna eat something or play something. Or at least DO something...maybe I should go to sleep? Nah, if the zombies find the base and I’m not there then all that work would have been for nothing. OH! I know! Least use the Farmer’s skills on this tree!)
Activating the magic on the tree, Will mewed out the skill.
“MEW!” (GROW!)
This time instead of a feeling that he lost a bunch of mana at once, Will felt that a steady stream of mana was leaving his body as the tree glowed a light green color.
Opening up his mana.
------------
Mana : 6/40
----------
As Will watched the mana drop down one by one.
(It seems that for every second or so, I lose 1 mana. So I guess this tree just grew 5 days worth? Better return the nutrients back before anything bad happens.
“MEW!” (NUTRITION!)
On the ground where the tree trunk met the earth, a dark green radiance rose.
Checking his mana again.
--------------
Mana : 4/40
--------------
(Better stop now...seems like they both follow the same idea. 1 Mana each second.)
Somewhat worried that he might had caused some sort of problem in the underground nutrition routes that the forest relied on, Will decided that later on he’ll add back the remaining 3 days worth.
(But first I need to get myself back to base...isn’t there a way for me to find them?)
Will pondered his choices, he could just wait for his zombies to search around, but since he had no idea if they were even searching in the right direction that plan didn’t seem very reliable. Or he could try finding the base via a really tall tree, but that also had it’s share of problems. Namely what he’ll do if he fell or get eaten by some random passing by monster in the treetops.
(Greeny) [Master, where are you?]
(Will) [Greeny? You can still contact me? How very interesting...so what do you want?]
(Greeny) [Well, master You have been out for quite a while, and from what I can tell. Inside the base, there appears to be some sort of commotion going on. I think it’s best you get back quickly.]
Greeny’s voice seemed curious about what was making the noises.
(Will) [Well, wish I could...but I’m lost...mew. I think I’ll make a compass or something like it when I get back…]
(Greeny) [What do you mean? Can’t master just follow the link between us? From my position, master seems to be in the direction of the setting sun.]
(How can my minion know more than me? Weird...but then there’s the more important question. Did the sun rise from the east or the west? If it rose from the east then I am west of the base? Or vice versa, and I’m in the east of the base?)
Thinking about such matters, Will replied back to Greeny as confidently as he could.
(Will) [I was just testing you...haha...I’ll be there soon. Probably. Unless something happens, like getting attacked by monsters or something.]
(Greeny) [Alright then, safe trip master.]
Greeny had a confused tone in his voice. Most likely thinking what a compass was.
Will tried to follow the link that Greeny was talking about in their conversation.
As if there was some sort of tug in his mind, Will could feel a certain pull from a specific direction.
(THERE)
Following the pull of the invisible link between the two, Will headed towards the direction that would bring back his base. Hopefully he wouldn’t hit a dead end or something. Who knows? Maybe he’ll be able to find a bunch of monsters all at once.
(Where are my minions? I better have them get back here find...don’t want them to randomly die off for no good reason.)
Summoning his zombies back, Will had them run as fast as they could to return back to his side. So that they can enjoy the role of being his meatshields. Though, they really couldn’t understand much in reality.
Good thing too, as had they been living, thinking creatures, then they would’ve already had some sort of revolt.
Who wants to be frozen or ripped apart in their right minds?
Running over the greeny leafy ground, Will got closer and closer to the base. Running beside him was the rest of his zombies that had luckily not gotten eaten or killed by something.
Past the branches and hanging leaves, Will saw his own self-made base.
(Home mew home! Well, base actually. But that doesn’t get ride of the homely feeling. I got to think of a way out of this place...there nothing fun to do here.)
Finding a reason why he wanted to get out of the forest, Will’s mind began to think of possibilities to return to civilization.
Walking absentmindedly, Will was greeted by the 3 green monsters with Greeny in the lead.
(Greeny) [Master! You’re back! That’s a good thing...there seems to be a lot of noises coming from the inside. I can’t get in so I’ve just been waiting here for you to get back.]
(Will) [Don’t worry about it, I’ll go take care of it! Time for my CUTENESS to shine! ALL HAIL CUTENESS! Oh, didn’t meant for that to come out.]
Ignoring the weird look Greeny gave to him, Will walked up the black bridge and observed what was happening when he was near the end.
Apparently, they were trying to get his attention or something. Beastkin girl #4 was trying to stop Beastkin girl #5 from clashing together pieces of what seemed to be part of the black box he made. The rest of the girls was just watching the show.
(Beastkin girl #4) “STOP! Doing this will not summon that monster! It probably went off somewhere to find food or something. We just need to wait for it to get back, then ask it for some clothing or something.”
As if not hearing her words, Beastkin girl #5 just kept smashing the pieces of black things together making loud bashing sounds that resonated throughout the forest.
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.
With her golden blonde hair covering half her face, Beastkin girl #5 stubbornly continue slamming the black pieces together.
(Wait...blonde hair? !!!! I can see what they look like!!!! Yeah, hurray for washing!)
Always a little air-heady, Will had taken a bit to discover that all of the Beastkin girls had finally been completely washed from head to toe. Which meant that now they could be seen in all their glory as their completely naked bodies were exposed to the elements.
(...something didn’t seem right with that sentence…then again what sentence doesn’t seem wrong is this world?)
Deciding that he was better off not thinking too hard, as for some reason it always seemed to make him feel weird in his head.
While somewhat distracted, Will didn’t notice that the other Beastkin girls had seen him and was walking in his direction.
Now, completely clean of that layer resembling almost a second skin, the Beastkin girls were now fully visible for Will to admire.
And admire he did - not.
In the lead, was the tallest of the girls. With short dark blue hair that reach to her neck and her rather serious expression, Beastkin girl #4 seemed to resemble someone Will used to know. Weirdly enough, for some reason he doesn’t really seem to remember the faces of his past life. The events were there but only their faces couldn’t be seen.
Behind her was a girl with long blazing red hair reaching to her shoulders who walked with strong steps, she like Beastkin girl #4, was really skinny.
Taking a glance over the three other Beastkin girls, Will noticed that they all were really skinny.
Behind the two, Beastkin girl #1 had black hair, Beastkin girl #3 with a bright light green, and Beastkin girl #5 hair was like a really fake unrealistic golden color.
This is a rather troubling problem, at least in Will’s mind. The reason mainly being that, if a female is skinny, it almost always equal the disease of - flatness.
(I feel really sorry all of them, even if they are still growing? Not really sure if they follow the same biological sequences that humans have back on Earth…)
With his incomparable analytical kitty eyes, Will categorized each of the Beastkin girl’s chest size.
Although Beastkin girl #1 had raven black hair that appeared to be really silky looking and wasn’t really short or tall compared to the others. She had one rather major problem, she was SUPER flat! From what Will’s little kitty eyes could gather, the data is saying that she had at most AA cup size, and that was him being nice.
Then there was Beastkin girl #2, she with her red hair made her look more wild and violent then the calmer Beastkin girl #1. Along with her taller height, she also had a bit more of what Beastkin girl #1 lack. However the kitty eyes are showing a lack of interest as well, since at most it was a B-.
Next there was Beastkin girl #3, the crybaby and extremely loud. Her wavy long green hair with her made her look somewhat like one of those nature spirit, and that was further emphasized by her chest or lack of anyways. She also joined the SUPER flat squad with Beastkin girl #1. She might even be the underling as she was shorter than Beastkin girl #1.
Of course for every group there has to be a leader who has achievement in something better than the others. In this case Beastkin girl #4 appeared to be the leader. Her short blue hair gave her a tomboyish look but her chest compared to the others made her much more feminine than them. Sadly it was B+, but then again even in areas where everyone was pathetically weak they still had to pick a leader. So why not her?
Lastly was the SUPER religious? girl , Beastkin girl #5. Her ridiculously golden blonde hair really closely resemble one of those fake hair people buy to cover up their baldness. If Will didn’t know better, he would had thought she was bald and just hiding it. Seriously, how did that golden color even get blocked by the layer of stuff? It is like the sun, burning away your eyes if you stare at it too long. Unfortunately, her hair was all that she got from the god of CUTENESS! Maybe she could pray to get those AA chest bigger? Maybe a bit taller while she was at it, as she was barely just a tiny bit taller than Beastkin girl #3.
With these rather hurtful and mean thought in Will’s head, he completed his examination of the Beastkin girls.
The real problem here was actually the comparison and ranking system he made - it was based off of the anime and mangas he read and watched.
Yep, in other words if those things aren’t the sizes of watermelons, don't bothering even calling it a C.
Therefore Will will probably never see the size he wished, for those things are a myth in a magical realm. Such a pity.
Let’s not even bother to mention their looks, at best they are “average”. Hell, even Will is “average” when he last saw himself back on Earth. Of course, again, this is entirely based off of those mangas and anime he watched. In other words, a rather hard comparison to match for reality, such a pity really.
(Well, despite their lack of looks and stuff… I still should get them some clothing.)
Checking his little kitty tummy, Will made sure that he had enough things to convert before starting.
By the time the 5 naked Beastkin girls were in front of Will, he had already created 5 sets of leafy robe-like clothing. He also made sure that they were created securely sitting on his back, otherwise there was no point of making new clean clothing for the girls.
(Beastkin girl #1) “It seems that wherever he went, he got back.”
(Well. I got lost so yeah...I didn’t really mean to leave for so long. At most for a half hour, not those few hours I spent wondering around.)
Making a cute little kitty face at them, Will tried to show his CUTENESS, as they were looking at him with curiosity at what he had been up to.
After all, he couldn’t really communicate with them, and him getting lost - never happened. So there was nothing to tell, better distract them from their thoughts.
With the clothing on his back, Will shock his little kitty body so draw their attention to the bundle of green robe leaf thingys on his white fluffy back.
Of course they were also of some reason created and folded neatly in a square. How that happened is anyone’s guess.
(Beastkin girl #4) “Are these for us?”
She indicated the other girls with her hand.
“MEW!” (Yep!)
Crouching down, Beastkin girl #4 looked at the little tower of layered robes.
As she did that, her “small weapons” bounced around energetically and jiggled like jello.
Like what any little kitty would do in that situation, Will ignored it.
After all flat is flat. Just like zero times zero, you still get nothing no matter how much you try. Of course it also could be from the fact that he was just recently born and didn’t currently possess the necessary “tools” to appreciate the view.
Or it could be all of those hobby of his had completely messed up his sense of reality.
Grabbing one, Beastkin girl #4 opened up the robe to show its full shape.
(Beastkin girl #4) “I think it’s some sort of robes? Well better than nothing I guess.”
Following her lead the others grabbed their own set of green robes and wore it.
Meanwhile, Will now bored and seeing that the sky was growing dark decided that it would be best that they go to sleep now. After all the excitement for the day, Will felt like a sleepy little kittycat.
Besides it’s not like there’ll be anything that’ll attack them at night, right?
