Will stared at the screen in front of him.

(I feel like someone’s screwing with me…. every time something bad happens, I get a message…. though at least I get a skill before dying….maybe I should test it out?)

Rereading the screen, he attempted to use his new skill.

(Leaf Creation!)

CHIRP, CHIRP, CHIRP…..(AKA Cricket noise)

(How the hell do I activate it? WHERE IS A MANUAL FOR THIS STUPID THING?)

System Processing…..

DING!

The host only needs to imagine the skill in order to activate it.

However, unlike job abilities and skills, monster skills require substance within the host to support the ability. While job abilities and skills can only use mana, they need a keyword or chant to activate.

(! For once this system really isn’t playing with me! Alright… Leaf Creation seems to be a skill that makes leaves…. soooooo what can I do with it? Fly? I can’t even use what's attached to me… how am I supposed to use something I never did before to help me?)

Pondering his choices, the tops of the trees could already be seen in great details.

(Man this is kinda like skydiving back on Earth! I always wanted to try it…. wait…..)

A passing thought inspired Will, who was rapidly descending to the ground, at terminal velocity.

Using all of his concentration, and imaging as vividly as he could. He felt something emerged from underneath his fur and blossom outwards.

Suddenly, he wasn’t falling anymore, but gliding through the sky. The wind blew strongly past as he was skidding past the treetops.

Tilting his head, Will could see the first thing he had created in this world, a green leaf parachute umbrella thingy.

It was attached by a mysterious force to his back, right between his fluffy white wings. And like a stem, extended outwards, ending up in a green hollow half-sphere at the top.

Similar to Earth parachute, it extended his foot long body weight over a larger area. Helping reduce his speed, so instead of hitting the ground and becoming a smashed watermelon, he instead landed heavily and rolled from the momentum.

Tucking, his small head underneath his tummy, Will was able to land safely on the ground.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

(PHEEW! I LIVED! YAY!)

“GRUMBLE”

The sound of a stomach rumbling filled the air.

(Uh….It feeling like I haven’t ate since I was born….which actually is true now that I think about it…. mew weed fwood….)

Looking at his surrounding Will saw a lot of strange things.

For some reason, apparently here bananas are purple with weird swirls on the outer skin. It reminded him of something he saw back on Earth. It was about a guy eating one and stretching….how odd, though certainly it is impossible for THAT to happen….hahaha.

Then next to it was a, tree…. there is a lot of trees here….

Towering over Will, the tree looked like the ones he saw before, tall, green leaves on top, and dark brown wood.

He was currently encircled by these unremarkable trees, as well as several other weird plants making the overall picture seem like a painter took meth halfway through the picture.

Beside Will, there was what looked like apples, just like the kind found back on Earth. They were red and sweet looking, and grew from a bush.

(Did apples grow from bushes? I feel like something is wrong here…. well I can eat this apple or try those banana thingys…. or try some of the other even more weirder plants…..)

Glancing at a vine like plant that was curled around a tree, on it were growing what looked like long black needle balls.

(Well, hell with it…. I just hope it taste like what it looks like.)

Moving clumsily closer to the “apple bush”, Will causally took a bite from one of them.

Now should be a good time for some logical lessons in life.

Whenever you are in a unfamiliar place, never, ever eat what you do not know. Just because it LOOKS similar doesn’t mean it IS.

For example, those “apples” Will decided to eat, well in this world of MAGIC. Well they have a nice name which was derived from their nice red color, it’s called “The Red Death”.

Once someone eats it, at first there are no problems. Nothing out of the ordinary, no symptoms or anything. You live out your days like normal, until about a week or two later. Then the body started feeling the most painful agony they ever had experienced.it should be logical, seeing as the body is slowly expanding. Next after about two weeks of this agony, the body reaches its limits and BOOM, blows up. Hence the name, The Red Death, as the death sure was red, aye.

It is so notorious it was given a nickname, “Death’s Month”, and only the most hateful revenge plans would use it.

Hell, even the assassins fear this thing, they’re afraid that even being near it can cause the same thing. So unless a person truly hated someone and bet their own lives, normally it will never be used, like EVER.

Coincidentally, the purple banana fruit is a rather common fruit seen everywhere, and has no health risks associated with it at all.

These two different kinds of plant sure are growing rather close to each other, well must just be bad luck.
