Chapter 01: Newborn Ghost Tadpole
oOo
So when I finally regained consciousness, I would have already been reincarnated into the other world already.
And after regaining consciousness, I then immediately noticed that my current recently acquired body is currently submerged withinside some sort of a body of water or a gell-like liquid substance. That somewhat resembles a transparent layer of a clear membrane.
('That confirms it. The creature that I've been personally reincarnated into is not some sort of land animal or a bird/reptile flying creature but rather is quite aquatic. Perhaps a fish or something along those lines.') I thought.
I then recited the memorial keyword that I've instead heard and read withinside many LiteratureRPG type genre novels and manga withinside my own head. ('Open Status Screen').

I then somewhat laughed hysterically at myself, as I thought. ('Of all the creatures that I could have possibly been reincarnated into. Why is it exactly do I have to be a frog tadpole of all things? Even an ugly green-skinned Goblin would undoubtedly seem a bit more appealing right at this very moment.')
('Although, after reading numerous monster reincarnation type of light/web novels off of the internet and the old RoyalRoadLegends website, like Re:Monster, Re:Ocean, That Time That I Was Reincarnated As A Slime, and so on. I would then come to realise that this is only just the starting points and the beginning of the journey to this series. And after a few levelled ups. I would then be able to meet the necessary basic requirements in order to evolve or advance to the next evolutionary stage of my race.') I thought.
I then immediately closed down the Status Screen board in front of me, by simply imagining myself with an invisible imaginary hand, and then swiping the imaginary phone screen to then clear up the opened background running tabs, which is the Status Screen board.
Without even a need to go that further into detail, but I basically break through the thin gelatinous egg spherical structure of my cage, by simply swimming forwards.
And after breaking through the soft gelatinous egg structure of my cage, I was then immediately greeted with the sight of a hundred or so tiny small tadpoles of my own size. Some may be a bit much smaller. Some may be a tad bit larger. With some having already hatched from their own eggs, and some have yet to even attempt to break through their gelatinous egg cage.
It was not that even difficult to find an edible food source, as we are constantly surrounded by it and even submerged within it. As the moment that the mother frog had actually laid her batch of fresh tadpole eggs on top of a pond. It is then immediately covered within a thick transparent frog jelly substance, which also acts a personal floatation device for the batch of tadpole eggs, but is also a temporary food source to help nurture and somewhat sustain the newly born surviving hatched ghostly tadpole eggs.
Similar to the other hatched baby ghostly tadpoles within the same batch, I then began to hungrily devour the surrounding frog jelly, without a single care in the world. Slowly, filling my small hungry growing ghostly tadpole stomach up.
*Ding!*
It was then that I immediately heard the sounds of the World System's message notification steadily ringing withinside my own head, as a blue holographic display screen interface panel then later appeared in front of me, thereby showing me my current rate of progress.
World System Message You have consumed 10 grams of Frog Jelly. It has steadily been converted into 0.1 Biogrowth Points by the World System!
World System Message
World System Advice Notice: Any sort of biomass or flesh of a living creature that the user or Player consumed would then automatically be converted into Biogrowth Points by the World System.
Bio growth points can be used to possibly modify, fortify, and mutate the user or Player's monster body. The amount of Biogrowth Point that is used to upgrade a certain body part may varied depending upon monster race-grade and their evolutionary tier.
Biogrowth Points can also be used to exchanged for unallocated stats points, with the exchange rate being 100 BGP for 1 USP.
100 Biogrowth Points = 1 Unallocated Stats Point.
('Oh, that is really quite interesting.') I thought so to myself, as I then continued to eat the numerous abundance of clear frog jelly till no end, steadily racking up until I have successfully garnered enough for 1 Biogrowth Point.

*Ding!*
A few minutes later, I then heard the familiarised sounds of the World System's message notification steadily ringing withinside my own head, as a blue holographic display screen interface panel then later appeared in front of me.
World System Message You have consumed 10 grams of Frog Jelly. It has steadily been converted into 0.1 Biogrowth Points by the World System! * * * You have consumed enough Frog Jelly for your {Small Tadpole Stomach} to then convert it into experience points. You have gained 1 experience point! You currently have 1 Unused Biogrowth Point available!
And after having eaten enough frog jelly for myself to be able to obtained a single Biogrowth Point, I then immediately opened up my Status Screen board up.
Without even the need for much further deliberation, I then immediately chose to upgrade the {Small Tadpole Tail} body part in preparation for when I may need to abruptly used my own ghostly tadpole tail for a possible speedy getaway.
World System Message You have selected the {Small Tadpole Tail} body part that you wish to fortify with your Biogrowth Point! Would you like to proceed with the upgrading process?
{T.I.C} Proceed {T.I.C} Cancel
{Author Writing Note: T.I.C means Thought Input Command}
Since I don't literally have any kind of hands or even a leg to press the holographic blue virtual display interface screen panel in front of me, I then mentally input the command by saying ('Proceed') withinside my own head.
The World System has automatically recognised my own mental voice input command as it automatically invests the only single Biogrowth Point that I've had into the {Small Tadpole Tail} body modification body part. And, immediately afterwards, there was a short instance where I then felt a slight burning itchiness at the end of my ghostly tadpole body's tail, as it then steadily grew slightly longer by a few millimetres.
The length of the tail of my ghostly tadpole body has increased slightly, barely noticeable at a single glance, but with each noticeable upgrade of the specific body modification body part. The tail body part of a newborn ghostly tadpole would then get noticeably longer, and a possible mutation may somehow be later developed when a specific modified body part has been undoubtedly been upgraded ten times.
World System Message 1 Biogrowth Point has automatically been invested into the {Small Tadpole Tail} body part. A level-up bonus growth stats correction has been added each time the user or Player levels up! You have 0 Unused Biogrowth Points available!
After investing the single newly acquired Biogrowth Point into the {Small Tadpole Tail} body modification body part, I then immediately returned backwards to eating piles of frog jelly without a care in the world.

More than twenty to thirty minutes later, I then steadily consumed more than 300 grams of mother frog jelly to then gained a grand total of 3 Biogrowth Points, with my experience gauge is steadily being filled up in due time and I just needed to then consume 100 grams more of mother frog jelly left in order to level up to Lv.2
*Ding!*
I then heard the familiarised sounds of the World System's message notification steadily ringing withinside my own head, as a blue holographic display screen interface panel then later appeared in front of me.
World System Message You have consumed 10 grams of Frog Jelly. It has steadily been converted into 0.1 Biogrowth Points by the World System! * * * You have consumed enough Frog Jelly for your {Small Tadpole Stomach} to then convert it into experience points. You have gained 1 experience point! You have consumed enough Frog Jelly for your {Small Tadpole Stomach} to then convert it into experience points. You have gained 1 experience point! You have consumed enough Frog Jelly for your {Small Tadpole Stomach} to then convert it into experience points. You have gained 1 experience point! You currently have 3 Unused Biogrowth Points available!
Following what I did so previously, I then automatically opened up my Status Screen board by saying the keyword ('Open Status Screen') and then automatically investing the remainder 3 Unused Biogrowth Points that I just recently acquired into upgrading my {Small Tadpole Tail} body modification body part.
World System Message 1 Biogrowth Point has automatically been invested into the {Small Tadpole Tail} body part. A level-up bonus growth stats correction has been added each time the user or Player levels up! 1 Biogrowth Point has automatically been invested into the {Small Tadpole Tail} body part.

A level-up bonus growth stats correction has been added each time the user or Player levels up! You have 0 Unused Biogrowth Points available!
Immediately afterwards, after the World System has completely finished processing the used 3 Biogrowth Points all into the {Small Tadpole Tail} body modification body part. I then immediately felt a slight burning and itchiness sensation suddenly arousing from the lower end of my ghostly tadpole body tail as it then got noticeably longer, now reaching just about a centre metre in length or two.
('And now, I just need to upgrade the {Small Tadpole Tail} six more times, and it would then eventually reach the maxed upgrade level for the current tier. So I instead wondered what would have happened next after it reached the maxed upgrade level.') I thought so to myself, as I then cleared away all of that said World System Message notification screen panel, before outright going back into eating the mother frog jelly in order to levelled up and then steadily accumulate Biogrowth Points.
