As I opened my eyes, my surroundings come into view and my senses started activating just like a machine. I could feel the cool air brush against my face and pass behind me producing a slight rustling sound. My eyes look around my body scaling the height I was at. My knees were in touch with the rough bark beneath me and I directed my eyes through the gaps in the fresh and soft leaves in front of me.
The first thing I see is a mob of hideous and green little monsters moving haphazardly in a grassy area just below me. I move out the foliage to get a better view walking on a platform of sorts which just seemed to be an enlarged branch.
Were those figures perhaps goblins?
I try looking at them closely by squinting my eyes. A few seconds pass and information pours in my head.
『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』 『Goblin』
Sudden messages popped up in my head followed by a migraine like sensation. I quickly closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
“This is definitely a game. From what I remember, I was somewhere in the clouds where this random elf lady asked me whether I wanted to live? After hearing my answer, she called me a champion or something and threw me off to my apparent death but I miraculously survived and got『Appraisal LV1』? And now I seem to be…… ummm sitting on a tree and all I can see is a mob of goblins. Wait; am I in some forest area of the game?”
I calm down a little after concluding that this is all a game. I look at my hands and they?? are weird??
“Why are they so brown?? They’re eerily long and the fingers are too slender!! EWWWW”
I start examining myself. I have a very thin figure with long hands and legs. My skin is dyed a dull brown and I’m wearing a skirt?? type dress made of leaves.
“This is a sick joke. I’m a MAN! I don't want this feminine clothing ughhh.”
I decide to let the dress go for a while and use 『Appraisal』on myself.
『Lesser Wood Sprite』
“So that’s what I am. Some sort of wood fairy thing and this is a fantasy world. I’m probably some NPC who gained consciousness. This is why I hate games. So much unrealistic information to process!!”
I decide to look around a little more to get used to the sudden flow of information whenever『Appraisal』gives some results. I look at the tree I am on first.
『Zapis』
Looking around the other trees I get the same result. This seem to be a Zapis tree grove with goblins in the middle. Focusing on the trees elsewhere I get a fascinating result.
I try looking at them closely by squinting my eyes. A few seconds pass and information pours in my head.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

The trees seem to be full of other sprites like me. There are a few green ones but they are considerably less in number. So far every tree seems to have more than two of these sprites. Why am I the only loner here hmmmmm??
Skill points full.『Appraisal LV1』 has levelled up to 『Appraisal LV2』.
Okay. So this is definitely a game. If the skill level increased, it’s proficiency should go up the same amount. But what are skill points?
『Skill points: Points acquired when select skill is used correctly. When the limit for Skill points is breached, the skill level increases.』
“Ehhh? Is this because of 『Appraisal』too? Hmm. This is good. I need to keep levelling this skill.”
I use 『Appraisal』on myself again.
Species: Lesser Wood Sprite Name: Chimon
“...... this is too much. “
Just then before I could freak out once again, I heard somebody in my head.
Tutorial: You have been reincarnated in another world as an apprentice fairy magician. Your first job is to protect your Zapis hometree from the survival exercise of the goblins. Pass the tutorial successfully and you will be rewarded!
----------------------------------------
Objective: Protect Zapis hometree from savage goblins. (0/1)
“Seems like all other sprites got this message too. But why did this voice say that I was reincarnated??”
Large disgusting Orcs started appearing from all directions and training the goblins in skills like running, hitting, scratching and climbing. I hope no goblin climbs it’s way up to me.
As if a supreme being was listening to me, a goblin with red eyes looked over to me and started drooling.
“Gulp. This thing better not be thinking about eating me.”
I start sweating nervously and the goblin lunges towards my tree. He starts climbing towards me; I start sweating nervously.
In almost no time at all, he reaches the branch I was on. My size is too tiny; no bigger than the tree leaves. His red eyes start glowing and he open his mouth and jumps towards me.
Frozen in fear my body seems to be paralyzed. I can’t blink; can’t move; can’t scream.
“Hhh...eee...lll.pppppp.”
Tiny wooden spikes emerge in a circle around me. The goblin lands on these. They must have seemed like needles to him as he instantly jumped back. He looks at his hands on which wooden flakes were now stuck and small drops of blood were oozing out.
『Wood Growth LV1』 was acquired.
He screamed in rage and I mustered up courage to run away. I got up and looked around to see the wooden spikes. I thought of my race as a lesser wooden sprite and realised that this skill is probably one of the perks of being one.
“OH you goblin…… You’re going downn.”
I concentrated near the spot on the branch where the goblin was standing.
“『Wood Growth』”.
Similar small wooden spikes appeared beneath the goblins legs. It shrieked and jumped. I knew how to defend myself for the time being. As soon as it landed;
“『Wood Growth』”.
Again, the small spikes appeared pushing him back. I kept using『Wood Growth』until he finally fell off the branch.
『Wood Growth LV1』 has levelled up to 『Wood Growth LV2』.
He hit the ground forming a very disturbing splatter of green blood around the disfigured goblin body.
Experience points accumulated. Chimon, Lesser Wood Sprite has levelled up.
----------------------------------------
Level Up bonus added.
Level Up Skill Points accumulated. 『Wood Growth LV2』 has levelled up to 『Wood Growth LV3』.
----------------------------------------
Tokens added.
Several messages popped in my head.
“Ehhhhh??”
The crowd goes silent. The goblins start staring at their fallen comrade and then glance towards me.
The orcs all raise their hands almost simultaneously and the goblins rush towards the trees.
“Fuck.”
