Chapter 1: I am weak, eh? [Part 2]
How fascinating! This couldn’t be any better, even though I am a weed, probably the weakest intelligent being ever existed in the whole world… I’m now feeling blissful. Perhaps, this is the world where monsters and magic existed, which is why phenomenon as me was possible.
Voice of Heaven existed, so it’s not impossible!
I’m guessing that the skill system exists here, also the skill proficiency and whatsoever like too. Shall I tested them out? If I imitated the common scene where the main character gained skill, it should be like this. “Voice of Heaven, I would like to gain a skill”
Ttring!
『Skill Point: 100
Would you like to use it for a random skill?
Yes|No 』
{No! Sorry}, that was only a trial, but {thank you very-very-very much for responding!!}
Like I guessed, this world has an RPG setting. The heaven’s voice with robot like generated voice proves it. Having experienced many odd things in a day has changed my mindset, even hearing VoH voice just by pure coincidence while I was bored. Alright, gaming master, this is your time. Pull out that brain of yours for my sake.
…
Thus, I ended up remembered few cliche things about the main character of the comic that I read.
They ended up regretting choosing a skill which called “appraisal” just because they want to know what they are. Oh come on, I already know that currently, I am practically a weed, so there was no need to know of such a thing. Though “appraisal” is tempting but can’t choose it as I am the weakest of the weakest being that was created in the whole world. If there is World’s Book of Record here, I’m hundred percent sure that I will be inside of it as the weakest living thing in history.
Forget it, after cramming this brain of mine, there were a whole bunch of skills in my mind but only some of that are probably good for me. Such as "absorb", "cloning", "camouflage", "parasite", "adapt", "alertness", "disguise" and "sneak". I might also want the "intimidate" as a skill but I’m not sure how well it will turn out for me. If I used it, will there be anyone who scared of me? Haha… No way.
Hence after listing up the skill in my mind, I think about the effect of the skill. It's a 50/50 chance that the skills I thought of will not work as I thought it would. Plus I was wondering why the points that I have is 100, it was a wild guess but I think an average skill will cost me 100 points each. I couldn't do anything else than praying to my unreliable luck, amen.
"Cloning" is incredibly good, I could try cloning myself and build an army with it but if we were to meet a rabbit, we would definitely be eaten by it. Haha… Cute fluffy rabbit, I hope you are not here...
"Camouflage" might be good too but there were circumstances like the fire that either nature phenomenon or man-made would definitely burn me alive [that would not be good, ugh…]. "Alertness" is an alternative skill so I will leave it for now. "Parasite" is good, "adapt" is good. "Disguise"? I’m pretty sure if I obtain that skill I will be OP but what can a weed disguise into?
"Sneak"? Nah… Too bad but it was also an alternative skill.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
So left us with "Parasite" and "Adapt", I guess?
Alright, eenie meenie miny mo, who I choose for will you ever know?
……...
{VoH [Voice of Heaven], I would like to use skill point for parasite!}
『Skill Point: 100. Parasite LV 1 is available; would you like to use it? 』
{YES!}
Ttring!
『Parasite LV 1 acquired』
So, what do I do now?
{He… Hehe… I’m stupid.
Practically stupid.}
……………….
As for why ‘parasite’ over ‘adapt’ is I don’t know how ‘adapt’ work. While I kind of has a vague guess how parasite works. Since I have adopted this kid [parasite-chan], should I just try an error? Like, "parasite" on! No way, right?
Hm? Eh? Somehow, I-I ended up perched on a tree. And I feel nutrient or energy… whatever it was, it surging into me!
…
Phew, after only one minute the tree quickly dried up and wilted away.
I don’t feel any different. No bad effect or whatsoever but I could say for sure that the skill worked. Fufufu… being a weed supposed to rhyme with weak [JK, hehe] but SEE?! THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!! DON’T ****ING CHOOSE APPRAISAL BUT CHOOSE WHAT SUIT YOU MOST!!
Few people will understand what I’m feeling at this current moment. God knows how I felt but it’s not like he cared.
I walked with ease after gaining a skill. As a weed, I don’t have the need to sleep, eat or poop, since I don’t even have an organ to excrete, not to mention I also don’t have food to digest. For energy, I simply have to bath under the sun or searching for water sources using my root.
While walking, I felt emotional as I am terribly lonely right now. For most the reason I feel lonely, I was actually a chatter box in past life even though I am docile and quieter than most women but I am myself a woman. If I am with my close friend or family, there wasn’t a doubt that I am a chatterbox. To not have people to talk with, this is the first time that I feel lonely.
Plus, there wasn’t a single being that I could found after an hour walking. Though I called it as walking, if compare with human maybe I was trotting or as fast as snail only. After all, I might only be a size of a little dwarf fairy.
ARGH~! BE ITS MONSTER OR BEAST, ANY LIVING THING WILL DO! I JUST WANT SOME LIVING THING ACROSS ME!!
…
This is so boring… Perhaps I don’t eat much salt in my past life, that is why my cursed won’t come true.
I got too bored that I became lazy to even walk. Well, it was only for short time since I would rather walk than do nothing. But as I walk, my mind constantly questioning “Why didn’t I just choose appraisal”. If I had "appraisal", I could hear some voices even if it was a skill talking.
Regret was my only option but I don’t really felt that way because I was satisfied with parasite-chan.
If I counted it right, it has been 7 hours since I became a weed. It was evening when I first realized it and now it should be midnight BUT IT”S NOT. It still in the evening, I can tell because the sun was still visible in the sky. Ever since my cursing, I was using my parasite-chan constantly that it has reached level 5.
I realized a few things while raising my skill.
The higher the skill level is, the harder it is to raise it, and it also depends on what type of thing that I used my skill on. For example, if I used parasite on a fruit it wilts faster but the skill raised slower yet if I used parasite on the tree it wilts slower but the skill raised faster. If I don’t play the games, I will never have this kind of wide pieces of knowledge and will never be guessed on how things work. ALL HAIL GAMERS!
And so, I kept focusing on parasit-ing the trees. Fufufu, poor trees. If only you could talk, I would be cursed throughout the process. I have settled down after 7 hours becoming a weed. Now I could walked faster, run, jump and even jump on a tree to another tree. What amazes me is that I was only a size of the tree leaf?
Hmm? It so windy tonight, feels like a storm brewing in. Eh… could it be… my enemy wasn’t rabbit, monster or even fire but… THIS STUPID HELLISH WIND?!!!
AAHH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
