Day 2
So, if the sun is behind me, then that means that it is… A direction that I definitely know. But, just to make it easier, I will call it sun up. So, using sun up as my guide, I will go sun down! And maybe find the end of this pool, and a mate! I will leave my mark on the world! In the form of baby mosquitoes! And possibly malaria, how would I know if I have malaria? Hmmmmmm…. Perhaps I do since I’m poisoned? Is that how it works? Is poison transferrable? Well, I’ll find out later! For now, I will go sun down!
And, after fifteen minutes of mind numbing flying, I got a new notification, well, one I’ve seen before but.
Fly level up. Dexterity multiplier is now 1.03x.
Woo! But honestly not that useful! Continue!
But, 20 minutes later, something much more interesting happened.
Fly level up. Dexterity multiplier is now 1.04x.
Please choose level 5 specialization for Fly.
I get a specialization! Alright, granted, I have no idea what that means, but it sounds powerful! It better be powerful! I’ll bet it’s powerful. O’ almighty Mosquito God, please give me good options!
Pray level up. Charisma multiplier is now 1.02x

If I don’t pick Holy Flight, is that blasphemy? I did just pray, and get the level up that would make me able to get it thanks to that… and it isn’t that bad. But… MY DREAMS OF LOOP DE LOOPS!!! It’s fine! I can just practice! Yes! I can do this! It’s fine! Besides! I just need to think of this realistically, this is a good thing. My wings are gonna become super weapons! All I need to do is pray, and I will turn them into blades of death! Yes! It’s all good! I have no regrets!
