‘ARGH’ Push it off of me. Get the fuck off. A slimy film Easily breaks with my efforts. I have just died. I am sure, 100% certain. It might be an odd afterlife. But its certainly not the worst it could be. I will take slime any day over brimstone.

As a bare minimum introduction. You died and were reincarnated as random creature in Expira. You have to think of status or desire for it to be shown. This will be the only custom message you will ever receive from now on. Good luck.

What? I saw the same blue box before welcoming me to this world. But everything happened so fast. I am still reeling from my death and I was reincarnated right after. With no down time for me to accept my new reality. Well It’s as good a time as any to check out my status.

Woah. Am I a bug or something. Trying to look at my own body. A pasty worm like body is shown. While struggling to break free from what is now apparent to me as my egg. I never had the chance to notice before the blue boxes distracted me.

I roll left. Wait a moment, I roll right. Yup, pure worm body. Can barely move. Definitely no hands to grab stuff. Pushing down the existential crisis for later. I decide to look for food to sustain me for the future. Distract my self with the immediate danger of living in a foreign obviously uncaring world.

I remember that most animals born in eggs eat their egg shells right after birth. Those animals have hard shells, rather then my deflated balloon like eggs. There is also a clutch of eggs that seem to be my siblings. Everything there Seems very disgusting. I would have decided not to eat the shell, but an internal feeling. Over whelmed me into shoving my disgusting grub like face into it

Ooooh. God that tastes so good. The shell and the other eggs are divine. They taste like 5 star full course meal. Rolling around in the dirt like a worm. I express the greatest joy my little maggot shaped body could. A little wiggle. Ding*

Gained 50 Bio-mass

Damn what did I do. Never mind Push the familial cannibalism far down, deep down. Its a problem for my future bug therapist. Oooh whats bio-mass Do I have a magic ability or can I grow limbs with that. Shoot webs?

Hmm. OH I know, I don’t know how I know. But it seems so obvious how I am supposed to use it. Collect enough Bio-mass and then go to the Embryonic control menu. From there you pick a sample and birth a child. Wait WHAT?! Birth, I am not ready to be a parent. How will I feed them, do I even need to feed them?

That’s not what matters now. My instincts told me to go to the Embryonic control menu. There must be some more info in there. Hmm, how am I supposed to bring it up. Maybe like when I did my status. Oh!

Broodswarmer Drone: The core of a broodmother’s hive. The general purpose worker that collects food and constructs structures. Can also be used for combat in a pinch. (Requirements: 5 bio-mass, 1 Sample)

Broodswarmer Warrior: A needed force that can do nothing but kill and destroy. They may seem strong. But are actually quite pathetic. They are quite deadly in large numbers. Capable of taking down enemies hundreds of levels above their own. (Requirements: 20 bio-mass, 5 Samples)

Broodswarmer Stud: A small male whose whole purpose is to inseminate the broodmother with the best “Samples” Different studs have varying quality samples that might allow for new cast types. You can pick different Studs with certain traits to allow for your children to posses those traits. You can choose to birth a Broodswarmer Stud in hermaphroditic way to get a base form stud. Or choose to use a previous stud to iterate their traits on the next generation of Studs. Any male creature can be spliced by taking their samples, but must be birthed only as studs to pass down in a two step process. (Requirements: 5 bio-mass, 1 or 0 Samples)

Woah. I don’t know what I expected. But this is a game like world. Isnt it supposed to be PG. Where are the filters. I don’t want to have sex with my own kids. This isn't Alabama. Or at least I think it isn't.?

Anyways its not like it matters that much to me. I have absolutely no shame. I am going to flood this world with my crotch rot. Each and every corner will be filled with children. As I practice extreme eugenics on my kids.

Thats an extreme escalation. As I still havent even learned anything about this world. It could very well be a peaceful and there are methods for me to bypass the need to make my own hive. You know what I am going out there-

ROAR!!*

Okay back to the nest. Nope nope nope. I am going to be a good little Broodmother and brood in my nest until I have 10 thousand warrior swarmers. Nothing less until I get to explore the world.

Okay spawn 2 studs. Oh my stomach. Hrr, two eggs got laid instantly on the spot. It didn’t need to gestate at all. It seems everything will go smoothly. It felt completely natural just now. It seems like my instinct don’t just tell me what to do. But how comfortable I am with my body. It would have been profoundly maddening to have my arms removed and have to worm my way around.

Now we wait for them to hatch.
