Chapter 1 - Failed, Failed, Failed.

It suddenly dark, I can't feel anything, even the feeling that I alive and my feeling was gone as if my conscious was sucked. . . 

Sleep. Yeah, let's sleep

My name is Kyle. My name is Kyle. My name is Kyle.

What is mine? What is a name? What is Kyle? 

Such a complex concept . . .  Wait, what are the meaning of concept and complex?

What is the meaning of 'what is the meaning of'?

Ah I confused. Eh, what is the meaning of conf-

Sea, sometimes you wonder how vast and deep it is. On the most bottom of the sea, the deep sea, a place that sunlight will never reach. But even this place still can't escape from the light. Sometimes, a light suddenly floating in this place due to a particular animal that can create light without heat and chemical reaction in microbe. This phenomenon is called bioluminescence.

But the light that created can't be compared with the sunlight, so a sensory adaption is a must. This adaption also applies to a pack of jellyfish. This pack of jellyfish is always searching the food together. To search food, they rely on their sensory ability to detect movement in the water so they can find the small prey they can eat. Their tentacles are venomous and may be used to hunted prey and defended themselves from the strong enemy. 

Because a mutation on the ancestor of these jellyfish, these species of jellyfish have the ability to chemosynthesis without relying upon symbiosis with a chemoautotroph bacteria. If there is no suitable prey to be hunted, they have the ability to chemosynthesis to sustain themselves.

These jellyfishes glow red light on their disc-shaped bell. Their bell is 50 cm on wide. They have red tentacle with the length of 100 cm. 

Except to one jellyfish.

This jellyfish, located on most outside of the pack. It has smaller body compared with other. Instead of having a red bell, this jellyfish has a blue colored bell.

This jellyfish is a little special. It never eats prey and only relies upon the ability of chemosynthesis to sustain the energy consumption. This Jellyfish, in fact, is the oldest one in the pack but it has never mated even once in its life.

Often this jellyfish doesn't move for no reason as if it pondering something.

In the deep sea, a jellyfish is floating ( swimming ? ) alone, without its pack. This jellyfish has a blue bell but red tentacles. This Jellyfish was accidently seperated from its pack because of a sudden earthquake. Suddenly, this jellyfish stopped moving.

1 day, 1 week, 1 year.

This jellyfish still didn't continue to moving.

Deep sea creatures, because the lack of food adapts with a slower metabolism. Slower metabolism leads to less used oxygen. This jellyfish has the ability to chemosynthesis. 

Because of the earthquake, many hidden sulfur, oxygen and carbon dioxide that burried escaped. This provided the jellyfish to survive using chemosynthesis for long time in this place.

Dark

Yes, It's dark.

How long have I been sleeping?

Where am I? Why I can't see anything? What had happened?

I try to move my eyes, but why I can't move them? No, why I CAN'T FEEL THEM?

Aaah

I feel a movement.

This movement looks like water flow.

Am I in the sea?

If I'm not wrong, didn't I die? And after that bullshit riddle, I got tricked and finally reincarnated not as human?

I wasn't reincarnated to intelligent race, right? Don't tell me I was reincarnated as a bacteria or a plant. I hope I not reincarnated as plankton.

No ! Please don't

As my emotion begins to panic, I can sense a movement in my limbs.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

Yes, limbs.

I can feel my limbs moving against the flow of the water. 

If I have limbs, at least I'm not reincarnated into an immobile organism. It would be a nightmare if it occurred.

Since I have limbs which I feel soft but thin then it must be I'm not reincarnated to a baby of an organism, then that mean I already adult, or at least decently developed.

What just happened? Aren't my request is to retain my memory, don't tell me I was reincarnated to a dead animal. Sssh, disgusting. If that true, then my body is a corpse?

<< Activate Skill [ Analyze ] ? >>

Wait, what's with that voice? A ghost? What did he just say? Damn, don't tell me I'm in a graveyard.

<< Activate Skill [ Analyze ] ? >>

This strange voice once again rang in my mind.

Analyze? Oh, I remember. Aren't this my cheat? Good, a cheat that asked its master to be activated, so polite. Activate it? Yeah, ok.

<< Insufficient energy, [ Analyze ] failed to be activated >>

If I have a mouth, maybe I already spat blood. Wtf, why you ask me to activate it if I cannot activate it.

Wait, what's this weird feeling. Aaaaah . . . . . . .

Hunger ! Yes, this feeling is hunger. Why I suddenly feel hunger? Don't tell me activating [ Analyze ] requires energy even if it failed to be activated? Damn !!!!

Now how I get food? I can't even see anything, I didn't even know what am I, how can I get food?

Suddenly a mysterious substance attracted to my body. It entered the part that I theorize as the main body since besides my limbs, maybe this is only what I have. After this substance had entered my body, my body began to heating. A weird feeling as if I'm eating food emanating from my mind. After for few minutes, the feeling gone, replaced by the feeling of full.

Aaaah, I don't know what just happened, but the feeling is great. From almost starved to death into fullness, such a great feeling.

<< Insufficient energy, [ Analyze ] failed to be activated >>

The hunger back. Aaaaaah, it already failed to be activated, who so stubborn to suck my energy.

I immediately order my body to do the same thing as before. And surprisingly, the body somehow hear my order and repeat the previously mysterious process of getting, no, maybe it's the process of creating energy. Don't tell me it was a chemosynthesis. Aren't only Bacteria that have it?

<< Insufficient energy, [ Analyze ] failed to be activated >>

 . . . . . . . . . . . .  Please Stop !!!! . . . . . . .

<< Insufficient energy, [ Analyze ] failed to be activated >>

<< Insufficient energy, [ Analyze ] failed to be activated >>

I don't remember how many times I hear it. No matter how I shouted " Please Stop !!!" in my mind, this [ Analyze ] keep repeating to suck my energy. The pain of keep eating then sucked the food from my body . . . . . I can only cry without tears.

What I can hope is, even if [ Analyze ] failed to be activated, the activating process is not started from scratch. So even if I keep sucked, maybe after a long time there is a sufficient energy to active [ Analyze ]. If not . . . . . . . . . .  No, it won't be. If this bullshit skill doesn't conserve the failed used energy, this process will never end. It won't be, I hope.

Unfortunately, I was wrong. Deadly wrong.

- - - - - - - - - -

<< Insufficient energy, [ Analyze ] failed to be activated >>

<< Insufficient energy, [ Analyze ] failed to be activated >>

After I have endured the pain of sucked for a long time, and maybe more than hundred times I hear the announcement, I finally went Insane.

Damn if this [ Analyze ] really wanted my energy, then I will give him.

After my energy was sucked, I immediately order my body to undergo chemosynthesis. But this time, even after I get the feeling of full, I keep to forcing my body to repeat the process of chemosynthesis once again.

I feel like my body wanted to explode, but I must continue to endure it. After few moments, suddenly the pain gone, replaced by the feeling of hunger.

Endure it! Don't give up! Forcing my body to create energy while I endure the pain that keeps wrecking my body, suddenly I hear a refreshing sound in my mind.

<< Analyze is activated >>

 The feeling of being sucked is gone.  I order my body to stop chemosynthesis.

Finally ! Now, is the time to use [ Analyze ]. But, where the User Guide? Don't tell me I must learn it like a baby?

< Analyzed, [ Analyze ] will be activated when you are thinking and wanted to get the answer to your thought. 

[ Analyze ] will cost you energy based on the complexity of your thought. [ Analyze ] can be deactivated and won't cost you starting energy when you activate it >

Oh, I see . . . .  So it's like a passive skill in the game. So energy is must to use this skill? Well, it's okay.

Now, the important question. What am I?

< Analyzed, based on your body structure, you are a jellyfish. Not enough energy to analyze the characteristic of your species. >

Jellyfish? WTF, no jellyfish can create their own energy using chemosynthesis.

Mutated? I see. So right now, I am Jellyfish?

< Analyzed, yes >

Jellyfish . . . . At least I know what creature I am. Right now, using < Analyze > I mus-

While I was thinking, suddenly, there is a voice that rang in my mind, interrupting my thought.

< You body and your mind are strong enough for your soul to be awakened. After the process of Soul Awakening, you can start to undergo mana leveling >

Soul awakening? What is that? And what is Mana leveling?

< Analyzed, Soul Awakening is a process that Integrates the soul with Nature. After this process ended, the host will be accepted by nature and gain the ability to control { Mana } >. The host will also gain access to the system.  >

Mana ? Then I can use magic?

< Analyzed, Yes >

Magic? Finally, this is what I waiting for. Anyway, what is Mana leveling?

< Failed to Analyze, question is not specific enough, or the energy cost is too big for the host to endure >

Failed ? What do you meant by my question is not specific enough? I only ask, "what is mana leveling ?".

So this skill is not knowing all I see. Well,  at least this skill is smart enough to not kill me by sucking all my energy.

< Analyzed, after Soul Awakening,  you will have enough energy for [ Analyze ] to answer your question >

Oh, so it's not useless. But how do I awaken my soul?

< Analyzed, You must integrate the first mana to your body >

Integrate mana? So I must suck it like when my body was sucking chemical substance for chemosynthesis?

< Failed to Analyze, Data is not enough. >

Then, how DO you get the data?

< Failed to Analyze, [ Analyze ] can't understand your question. >

Damn !  So I must do it alone without help?

However, how? Let's put this matter aside first. Analyze me!
