Alright, that was something. I think I’m gonna avoid mysterious grass for now… It seems pretty dangerous.
Request Granted!
What request?
Quests can be granted from multiple sources. They can appear from specific actions being undertaken, predetermined by the system, a scribe, a higher being, or
REDACTED.
OH! THAT REQUEST! Or what? System? Are you okay? System…? Alright! I’m just gonna ignore that for now. Yeah, that’s probably for the best. Now then, how do I get out of this stupid rock skill? I really don’t want to be a rock… Huh? It ended? That was quicker than last time. Whatever. I’ll figure it out later. Because I’m trapped in these webs now! Get them off of me!
I tried wiggling around a bit, but my fall had completely wrapped me in webs. I was stuck in a trap, again. Goddammit. What am I supposed to do about this!?!?! Hey! Spiders? Can you get this off of me!?!?! NO I CAN’T JUST EAT IT!?!?! I TOLD YOU! I’M. NOT. A. SPIDER! Alright. I’ll figure this out myself. It can’t be that hard to escape from, it’s just webs. I’ve got a lot more strength than I did before, right? System, what’s my strength?
Strength: 18.01
Alright, yeah, there is no way I don’t have enough strength to escape from measly webs.Yeah, I can do this. I just did it wrong. Alright, instead of wiggling, I’m gonna try to spread my wings!
Inside my wings, I started struggling against the cocoon for real. I took all of my extremities, my wings, legs, and as much as I could of my head, and tried to move them to the best of my ability. The webs around me broke instantly, and I was free again, free to enact my will on the world. MWAHAHAHAHA!

Wait… didn’t I get trapped in these webs literally yesterday? I don’t think anything has changed since then, right? Oh… wait. I got three levels in Head Cultist of the Mosquito God… That was six points of strength… And had like what, twelve? Oh yeah, that definitely made a difference. You’d think twelve strength was good enough too, but whatever. I guess I don’t actually have a metric for how strong I am… I don’t even know how strong people are. Whatever, I’ll figure it out later.
Now then… I'm still in a slight pickle.
I’m in the middle of this stupid web. I did just break those webs though… I bet I can fly through them now! Hehehe. Who said being a mosquito meant I had to be as weak as a mosquito? I can level up! Mwahaha. MWAHAHAHA! Now! Through the web! I flew straight into the web, and… got stuck. Dammit. Why can’t I go through the webs!?!?! I LITERALLY JUST BROKE OUT OF ONE! I flapped my wings a few times and the webs around me broke… Seriously!?!? HOW CAN I BREAK THEM BUT NOT FLY THROUGH!?!?! Does that even make sense!?!?!
I spent two hours. TWO HOURS GETTING THROUGH THE WEBS! I flew a few centimeters, and then I had to flap my wings to break it. I left a gaping hole through the web where I went, my path being pretty clear. Wait, what? I turned around and the path in the web I had made had completely disappeared. Alright, spider cultists are magical too. So, where did I exit from?
Looking around, I was surrounded by… not grass thankfully. But something much worse. Something much. much worse. There were venus flytraps everywhere. Those darn monsters were mocking me. Staring at me from their field where they killed all kinds of insects, beetles, flys, mosquitoes. I will kill them. Somehow. I do have fire now… It might be worth it for this… NO! No, don’t think like this. I shouldn’t kill myself avenging my mosquito pal. He wouldn’t want that… probably. I wonder how mosquitoes feel about mind control… he never seemed angry. Or happy. Or actually anything at all. Huh. I guess mosquito pal couldn’t feel bad if he didn’t have emotions… Well, at least he probably wasn’t sad. That’s good enough, I guess. I’ll never forget you, mosquito friend.
