I want my rewards back, you stupid system! I am entitled to it! My brief having of Plant Communication was definitely very important to me! Can’t I at least be compensated for losing it? Pretty please…?
Processing Request…
Hmmm…. Maybe the gods will love me enough to give me that. We’ll see. So, where was I…? Oh yeah let’s check my new goodies! System, what does Aged Poison and Poisonous bite do?
Aged Poison:
The user can create a poison whose grade is based off of the age of the user. It slowly ferments in their body like a finely aged wine. Grade starts at Minor and increases by 1 for every 10 days the user was alive.
Current Grade: Minor
Poisonous Bite:
When the user bites a creature, they can inject the poisons in their body into it.
…What? Wait a second… I didn’t need to have this now!?!??! I COULD HAVE WAITED AND THE REWARDS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE SAME! I feel like I have been tricked. How does an aged poison be aged before I even have it…? I feel like this description definitely lied to me… Whatever, I’ll think about the implications of this later. Did I have anything else? Oh yeah, I got a new specialization for fly! I am getting so good at leveling that up! It’s like it’s the skill I use the most…
System! Let me see my options!
Fly(Lv5):
Thrusters:
Requirements - Fly(Lv5)
Increases the amount of thrust generated by wings.
Acrobatics:
Requirements - Fly(Lv5), Attempt to do mid-air tricks
Provides knowledge of basic mid-air tricks when Fly levels up.
Slicers:
Requirements - Fly(Lv5), Have wings with thin edges
If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
Provides knowledge on how to slice objects with the edge of wings when Fly levels up.
Current Sensors:
Requirements - Fly(Lv5), Survive an ambush by a flying predator
Can sense the currents caused by flying objects within fifteen feet of wings.
Flying Combatant:
Requirements - Fly(Lv5), Aerial Combat Skill, Beat an opponent in aerial combat
Increases the ability to precisely maneuver in air. Aerial Combat provides more knowledge when leveled up(Does not Apply Retroactively).
Fly(Lv10):
Holier Flight:
Requirements- Fly(Lv10), A Holy Job, Holy Flight specialization
When flying, a blurry form of the user’s God can be seen flying above them. Increases the effectiveness of Holy Flight specialization by 10x(multiplicative).
…I only got one level 10 option. Was I that uneventful? Well, I mean, I might as well pick it. It’s probably better than picking another level 5 one. I bet it gets better as I travel anyways. Whatever, give me Holier Flight, System! I’m no loser, picking a level 5 specialization when I’m level 10. Hmph.
Now then, do I have anything else I should do? I could check my other traits, but… I don’t really want to read those right now. (It’s not that the author doesn’t want to write descriptions, not at all.) Alright! So, I’ve checked my important things, I guess I could go, leaving the spiders now. I don’t think there’s anything around here that could kill them. Sheesh, Mosquito God created some true monsters.
Alright, where to go…? Alright, my options are, edge of crater, edge of crater, edge of crater or… edge of crater. Goddammit. They ruined the environment! How am I going to figure out where to go? I guess I’ll just go towards the sun…
And so, I set off on another journey! Off into the unknown! …I didn’t make it out of the crater before I needed to go to bed. And so, I set off on a… a journey. I STILL DIDN’T MAKE IT TO THE EDGE! How wide is this crater?!?!?! This time when I woke up though, I got a really… nice? Surprise.
Trait Elder unlocked.
Elder:
When learning new skills, it is 50% harder, but improving skills you already have is 100% easier.
Be older than the expected lifespan of your base species (Mosquito(Tier 0)).
So, is that a good thing? I mean, yay I can level up my skills, but is it really worth being so hard to learn new skills? Ugh, I hate this. Why can’t it give me something with nothing but benefits? This stupid system, making me think! I DO NOT WANT TO THINK RIGHT NOW!
