Notification showed up within Michael’s consciousness. It was so vivid that it looked real. But he hasn't emerged from his pupae yet. So a mental screen with that notification appeared in his consciousness.
-Deal is closed! Have fun! Remember to keep your end of the deal. Otherwise this causality will come back to me. Byee.- Ghuphi was relieved and overjoyed. She was free. Then she quickly left. It wasn’t a good idea for her to stay there any longer. Michael was left to figure out the rest of the things for himself. Notification disappeared. He tried to activate it by thinking of weird activation codes. ~Mental screen!~ nothing happened. ~Activation!~ also nothing. ~Properties!~ still nothing. He recalled the cringe he felt when his son started shouting similar bullshit in the holy place. ~Did I get it in a dormant state?~ Michael started wondering if he got scammed. ~Nah. She wouldn’t do me like that would she? If it's useless I’ll just break the deal.~

His majestic emergence did not go as he imagined. He appeared in the poodle in the middle of the dirt road. He started walking on the water and went to the edge of the puddle.

~No shit sherlock.~ Michael mocked. It was an ability mosquitoes innately had. It was basically useless to remind him of that. As he went to the puddle shore to dry himself. He saw other mosquitos that were also drying up. He stood in a small group. Wanted to say something. But he couldn't. Mosquitos did not use communication. They all looked the same. As expected, their colors blended with little rocks beside them on a dirt road. Suddenly a sparrow flew above them.
~Woah~ Michael got pretty scared. He knew that if he was discovered now he would be no joke dead. *Badump! That sparrow that just flew by landed behind him. If mosquitoes could sweat. He would look like he just was in the sewers. Sparrow landed to drink some water. NOM! Before any mosquito could react, the sparrow already swallowed one from their group. Mosquitos that stood there the longest, were almost dry and were confident in their flight. They escaped first and almost half of their group could fly away. Sparrow was left with fewer mosquitos to chirp from. Michaels odds of death increased. He tried to run back into a puddle. NOM! NOM! Sparrow’s dining table felt like Warsaw during WWII for Michael. (almost complete annihilation by multiple air strikes) Michael was almost doomed to be eaten. He just came to the shore to dry, if he was still in a pupae he would just dive and wait till the sparrow flew away. Now his only chance was to drift on the puddle to avoid the bombs that Sparrow’s beak was. NOM! Mosquito behind Michael was swallowed. He reached the puddle. Why did he go so far into the shore? The first line that got back to drifting on the puddle was also more or less saved. NOM! Mosquito on the left of the one that was behind him was also chomped. It was his turn. He could hear his death signing. It felt very unfair for him. He didn’t know sparrows liked to eat mosquitos. He would react faster if he knew that. ~I want a refund.~ That was the thought that came to his mind when the sparrow jumped closer to him and his beak was positioned right above him. Sparrow flew off out of nowhere. It flew in a moment when Michael already accepted his death.

Holy… ~Glory to the God.~ In this very emotional moment Michael’s character bursted out and started praising god. He didn’t know why did the sparrow flew away. *Splash! Hoove stepped on the puddle he was born in. Then another splash. It was stomped again by the back leg of the horse. *Plum! Big ass puddle drop ascended right in front of Michael. The last time he got scared like that was during military training when sergant threw an actual grenade out of nowhere into the dorm room. There were two deaths and seven injured. The sergeant went to jail. This time the big ass droplet washed away eight of his brothers. When he looked around he saw a wooden cart wheel incoming right at the puddle. Splash! It sounded on the surface. But for Michael it was SHOOO! Tsunami seventy times his size was incoming. Slam! It landed and splashed him. When he looked around it was like an Operation Overlord aftermath in normandy. Somehow, he was left untouched.

Michael saw the system message. He could activate water walking himself if he knew how to do it. Now he has lost incredible skill. What if the sparrow comes back?! He knew that it would be hard to live as a mosquito but it felt like everything now was rigged against him. Why didn’t he spawn in a better place? This road must have been pretty busy when that bloody Gophi accidentally spawned him there. When he activated the water walking he felt a very foreign sensation to him. Almost mystical. Water walking also dried him out. He could fly now because of that. Michel rose into the sky with his wings. When he looked around he noticed a cart that destroyed his spawn point. He started following it. It was a caravan with adventurers. Michael landed on the horse's back and started sucking. ~What is he gonna do about it?~ Michael tasted a sweet revenge. His backside started inflating. He became sumptuous and stopped sucking.

He flew on the top of the caravan to rest and digest. While he stood on the caravan he wasn’t completely idle. After a few hours he finally figured out a way to activate skills and system. The ominous feeling he had when [Water walking] was activated had to be intentionally induced within him and then a proper command should be thought of. Yeah. He didn’t quite understand it either, but it worked.

It wasn’t a lot but it was quite readable when he hid some of the more obvious ones.
But what kind of a sick joke were his achievements descriptions? And what the hell were those nicknames? Michael didn’t know. No matter how hard he tried to get more info about nicknames it was futile. Truth was. It was useless. And Michael lost two hours trying to figure out what nicknames did. Frustrated, he gave up and started listening to the talk adventurers had in a caravan. He didn’t understand this language. Michael didn’t really care about it. Why would a mosquito need to understand a human language? He didn’t know where the caravan was heading, he didn’t really care because he was damn sure that there would be more blood in a place he was heading to. He contemplated for a while if he should stay where other mosquitos were and try to reproduce, but he was above that. His life was infinite, if he wanted he could come back even if it would take him months to come back. So he stayed.
