Aren't these guys awesome, uh? Aw, come on! What do you mean beetles can't be considered friends? That's only in your mind because you've never actually interacted with ones like these! That's right, the beetles of this world are fabulous!
You should never underestimate the beetles! They can be some of the toughest guys out there! Yes, they can, yes, they can! Want to see them fight other ones out there? I have a whole reputation among the people for being one of the greatest beetle trained in the village!
I'd say that is a good thing since I've pretty much got nothing else going for me! Ah! Who needs powers anyway!? It's all just in your head, and most jobs and tasks don't require powers anyway, so it's not like I'm dying and itching away every day thinking of what mine is going to be! No! No, No, of course not!
{Sob}
At least I still have my body and my beetles, so not all hope is lost. At the very least, I could really become a professional beetle trainer and make a living that way, but that's not really that prestigious now, is it? No, no, sir, the job I want to achieve one day is that divine throne in the middle of Celestia! The throne of the all-mighty Illumina! Wah!
I can already see myself up there in heaven, up in the highest place in the sky! All the people over the globe are chanting my name and praying for help from me! Toshiro! Toshiro! Yes! Yes, everyone! Please say my name louder! I don't hear you! ahaha! Uh, let's be fair. That's probably not going to happen, but hey, it's a goal, even if it's unrealistic.
{Beetle mating noises}
Oh, I forgot today was a mating day for you two; I'm sorry, I will leave now! Make new, more robust beetles for me, alright!? And so I soon left the three greenish beetles to have their little party inside the metal cage because it can get quite nasty with them little guys, and I really didn't want to look.
I've seen it before, and let me tell you, I still don't get why they do it the way they do. They get on top of each other and then [Censored], and the female one then gets [Censored] All over them, and it's a pearly white mess that I'll have to clean later.

Anyway, I guess I'll show you around my base of operation, which also happens to be my house! Hey! Who says you can't make your house your base of operations? Whoever came up with that idea has clearly never read a Ratman comic book in their life!
So here, let me show you around! If you turn to the right immediately after leaving my room, you'll see a hallway leading to the dinner table! There's a bathroom in between to your left, and then once you reach the dinner table, you get the feeding zone! I like this place, but at the same time, I also hate it quite a lot.
Who is the angry old man coming my way with an angry face, you ask? Oh well, that is my Fath! UUHH! "When are you going to get a job?! Today, you didn't even bother to say, 'Good morning, Dad.' You just walked right past me!" Said the old timer who lifted me from the ground from my collarbones.
Geez! Why is every old man in fantasy novels always super-riped!? Shit! Dad is getting angry! I better say something right now! Quick! Fire up the brain. We need an answer that will be cool and solve all of this! Think! Come on, neurons fire! "Good morning, Dad?" Shit! {Loud Sigh}
"What have I done wrong with you? You're as irresponsible as always. You have a month to find a job, or I will kick you out!" Wait, wait, what did the old man just say? Am I irresponsible? What the heck does this guy mean? I'm doing all I can to be helpful! I try to help and even look for jobs, but nobody wants to hire me.
"Your father is right. It hurts me to be on his side this time, but you need to put your act together. I mean, you're in marriage age already. You could have kids and family like the rest of your class." Not you, too, mother! You're hurting me with those comments, don't you think I know already?
I know I'm a useless piece of trash that's only good with trivial things, and that will probably never be somebody, but couldn't just you, too, at least have my back? No! I shouldn't think that way; after all, I don't want to live with my parents forever, do I?
"Alright! Mission understood, sir! Mam! I will get a job, I promise!" And so the adventure begins! The journey for a job starts today. I've already got all I need within me! Who needs powers anyway? I can do it all by hand, can't I? Even if it's ten times harder, it's still possible!
"What are you doing just standing there in some Jojo pose? Get out there and look for it already, you bum!" Soon, my father kicked me out of the house with ease, and I landed right on my face, almost licking the ground if it weren't because I managed to place my hands in front of me.
Ouch! Hey! I'm not kicked out yet, Shesh! That old man can be pretty brutal sometimes. He thinks he is the shit because he's turned blue, and his element is one of the best! Just wait, old man! I will get an even better element than yours and become a god!
