alright, so... surrounded on all sides, I can feel their roots grabbing onto mine, one of them has a higher level absorb then me... im fucked, aren't I?

well, I should have expected this. after all, im a seed. well, a sprout, but you get me.

but im not scared. considering how I survived dying once, I should be able to survive again, right?

no, wait, Voice said that I wouldn't get another chance if I died again...

hhmmmm...

then again, simply the fact that the Voice exists and that I didn't die the first time would be proof of something beyond, right? that would mean that it is very likely that there is something after this. like... and an afterlife, where I can reunite with my one and only friend, Muffin.

man, I miss that guy.

I'm not too lonely at the moment since I can always talk with Voice, but... I still miss him.

well, lamenting the past and debating the future is for politicians. someone such as I should really just lay down and accept this fa-,

Stolen novel; please report.

- Don't give up. -

hm? oh, Voice, I forgot yo-,

- There is still hope. -

hey, don't interrupt my monol-,

- You have yet to be defeated. -

oh, alright alright! ill try to fight. hrrrm.

which is the weakest one?

- White Sip Lv. 1, Schneeee. -

right. which of the groping tentacles gripping my legs is that?

- The one doing so in the weirdest way. -

aha.

I turn my attention to the rather thin root wrapping around my leg in a rather sensual manner.

with a quick S U C C using the leg its grabbing, I quickly and almost mercifully bring the weak twat to an end.

- You have received 2 Ep. -

no level up? well, how much E did I recover? -

- 8 + 5. -

13. its something, at least. now I won't die immediately when the White Lily sta-,

I felt energy leave my body as if in a rush to get out.

shoot! it's already begun!

I searched my legs in order to find another weak one, finding only six rather powerful roots groping at me, two have already begun to S U C C whilst the others are getting ready.

I guess I have no choice...

I quickly choose a victim and indiscriminately start S U C C ing as fast as I can. energy enters and leaves my body as if it has no stable ground.

- Absorb has reached Lv.5. -

yes!

I can feel the energy inside of me slowly building up. haha, I'm gaining more than I'm losing!

- You have received 5 Ep. you have now reached Lv.4. -

great! now I can-,

I suddenly feel a shift in balance. im losing more then im gaining!

oh no!

shoot! darn it! geez Louise! fuck!
