I discovered a way to ‘somewhat’ tell the time. How? Day and night cycle, during what I think is the day light is much more abundant, and in the night the light levels diminished, meaning my precious supply of exp is shortened. However, I am not particularily sensitive to this change. At least not as much as I thought, so I have no idea how long I have been here.
In order to combat this I have been debating whether or not to try and increase the amount of resources I take from the ground. The issue I keep thinking of is what would happen if I completely drained the ground of nutrients? Would I wither and die? After debating for a couple days I decided to try it in order to speed up the leveling process.
Come! Nutrients of mother earth! Wait is this planet even called earth? Fine, then gaia. Come! Residue of gaia fill my body!

Aha! That sound must be the acquisition of a new skill!

Oooh, so I have the Gather nutrients skill now? Interesting… Also, my exp is almost at what I assume is necessary for a level up. At least I think it is…
Well then, let’s keep absorbing nutrients from the ground.
Come to me!

Another day and night passes, but my exp is definitely increasing… I think...
And finally- *ping
Yes! Level up! Well, I hope that was the level up anyway.
Status!

Haha! My level increased! albeit by one. Well, if I am lucky then I will evolve by reaching level 2. Only 15 more experience points to go.
oh? Is it nearly daytime? I feel the light falling on me increasing. Well then, let’s continue to absorb light throughout the day.
As such my routine continued, absorbing large amounts of light in the day, and nutrients from the ground in the night.
However, sometime during the night I felt something peculiar.
!! Something hit me!
Is something eating me!? Nonono, I am too young to die! Well technically I already did die… and I also don’t know how long I have been alive as a blade of grass… Hm? My body doesn’t appear to be breaking, but something is hitting me every now and then. The grass beside me is also shaking under it.
What- oi oi, could it be rain?
I could feel a sort of ‘wetness’ starting to permeate the soil around my roots. Huh… this is the first rainstorm I have experienced since coming to this place.
Hey, if there’s rain doesn’t that mean there is clouds? If so then I might not be able to take in my daily nutrients. Wait, but rain is filled with nutrients right? Not to mention plants need water to live.
I wonder if I can absorb the water in the ground at a faster rate as well…
Alright! Liquid that falls from the heavens and permeates the earth! Come to me and become my experience!
…
…..
…….
*ping
Ha! The water in the soil is now slowly flowing towards my roots. Let’s open my status and check.

Ooo, my exp is also much closer to the maximum I need to level up. While I was looking at my status the exp went up another point.
!!
Oi! Could it be that absorbing rain water gives more exp? Ufufu, Come water of the heavens! Nourish my body!
And during the rain, although I am not sure exactly how long it took, my experience points finally reached 15.
