What am I surrounded by? I can feel the walls around my body, which feel strange. Whenever I slightly push on the walls, I can feel a slight give like it wants to give away altogether. Should I press on it harder?! Fuck it, why not!
When I press around the walls hard enough, I'm finally met by the outside world! Yikes! Why are there so many insects around me! Why are there so many Scorpions around me!? Wait a dam second! Where is my body?! Why am I looking at a skeletal insect body as my own?!
I assume the worst when I look back at the egg I got out of and then at the thousands of other baby scorpions. If they all came out of those eggs and I went out of one, just like that, does that mean I'm now one of them!? No way!
If that's the case, then why am I in this new body to begin with?! Did I possess the body of a scorpion or something? Or did I die? I don't remember anything from the past. I was just doing some repairs on my car, and then I lost consciousness, and now I'm here.
But how did I die?! I remember I turned on the ventilation system! (They did not; they died of carbon monoxide intoxication.) Then what killed me?! Whatever, it's not big of a deal; what matters now is I find out where I'm and why everyone is cannibalizing each other! Ahhhhhh!!!
I ran away at the first sight of trouble when one of my new "brothers" Tried to make me its next snack. I had to be quick, or it would eat me whole! Talk about a crime against humanity, but wait, I'm not human anymore, so a crime against your own?
Seriously! What is going on!? Where even am I? My surroundings look like some swamp-like place. There is a lake nearby and lots of mean-looking animals in my surroundings. I don't know my location, but I might be in the equator? Also, my size seems wrong.
I don't recall scorpions being bigger than a typical leaf, but I'm much larger than a tiny tree sprout! Yikes! Please let it not be true! Please, it's got to be a huge joke! I mean, a scorpion army of hundreds that are all the size of a small dog?! That better be a joke! Where am I?! Clearly not Earth!
I keep walking forward until I find some walked-on routes, and I have to choose between the two, finally selecting the wide path to the left until I'm met with a colossal frog the size of a dam tree! Oh! OH! The frog opened its mouth and tried to pick me up with its tongue! WTF!? It also wants to eat me?!
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
Luckily, my reflexes kicked in just in time to avoid the toad's tongue! If I hadn't jumped out of the way, I would've become that toad's next snack! I better run back and choose another path! Preferably one without monsters that will try to devour me!
As I walked back, I stopped when I heard some rustling from the direction I was previously running away from. I slowly walk around the corner where the rustle came from and see a larger scorpion fighting a snake. Eventually, the snake bites the scorpion, and this one falls paralyzed to the floor.
The snake slithers away as the scorpion twitches and slowly gets ready to kick the bucket. When I think that I'm out of danger, I approach my dying brother, who tries to strike me with his tail! Hey! I'm one of you! You dam Idiot! The guy dies right after I scream at it!
Ahhh! Ohoho! My nagging killed it! How's that for an OP power! Might as well surrender now! Ahaha! Still, I can't come to accept this as my reality. Is this for real!?
I died and got reincarnated into a lethal scorpion, but I also spawned in one of the most hostile environments on the planet?! How does that make any sense!? Who the hell is writing this story!? I want to get a word with you, whoever the evil author is!
In the end, I approach my dead sibling. With some willpower, I pull it along with me as I move in the opposite direction of the frog until I end up at the lake's edges without much company aside from some occasional alligator lurking in the water nearby.
When I finally think I'm somewhat safe, I lower my guard and look at the sky as I try to figure out what to do next. Is it possible this is just all a dream?! It could be; there are no reflections in dreams, though, and I can clearly see myself in the water.
Man! Am I an ugly-looking insect! I'm horrendous! I have a lot of eyes, and my body is not even wholly black; I'm still yellowish! Yet, I have to come to terms with it! I'm this thing. But why!? Why does a girl like me have to end up like this!?
I guess it has to do with the fact that anyone else in my situation would probably choose the easy way out! But I'm not! I got a little excited, actually. What is it like to be something else besides human? In another world, too! Unless this is a different timeline, Earth, or something like that.
Okay, since I'm assuming this is not Earth, I think I'm in a fantasy world! That all should mean that there is a menu I should be able to access! Come on! Open sesame! Open menu! Come on! Pretty pwease! Open the menu!
