Chapter 2: That’s me?
Alright.. WHAT THE HELL ELSE IS THAT?
It's obviously a status tab, and it looks like I'm really in an kinde of isekai, but what's with those stats??!! Where is the stolen ability that the stories and animes promised me?!?!
First of all, it looks like I'm a bee... and it looks like I'm pretty weak too... and these status, I'm a [Solitary honeybee] and yet I have the ability to create a colony, does that make sense?
Pausing to analyze the situation, I was born from a cocoon well hidden and tangled with dry leaves and clay, which says that some bee layed me here, or I was brought here by something that aren't bees. But if I'm a bee, where are the other bees? Or am I a species of bee that leaves its children alone? Regardless of the options, something was certain.
I was alone.
I am a human reincarnated in a bee, dropped alone into a forest with nothing more than a status screen to guide me. What do I do? if I killed myself now, would I go back to my previous body?... Did I still have a body to go back to? Far as I know he must be burned and burried in a pile of garbage and reduced to nothing.
Stopping to think... what do I look like? I imagined a fluffy bee like those in my world, but when i inspect my own body... 6 Limbs 4 serve as arms and 2 as legs, I have a typical bee abdomen with a very small stinger, I feel a fluff or a mane? that wraps around my neck, a yellow and black body with shades of gray, one thing was certain: This is clearly not my world, my world doens't have systems and bees like that!
As i look around for something that i can use to see myself in, a pond a puddle or a shiny piece of metal, anything woul be fine! And, bingo a lake right next to where I was born, Well, I think it's a lake, since everything seems to be giant from my point of view it may even be a puddle. And now, how do I get there? It has a conciderable fall to the ground and I don't feel like I can slide up there, and if I fall and break all my bee limbs, I will become an incapacitated Bee and stay agonizing on the ground for who knows how long...
Wait, I have wings! I just need to know how to use them now...
....
..
.
In theory it's very simple: flap your wings and fly!, but it's more like one of those cases where it's easier said than done, my wings feel weird since it's not something I'm used to have, I have these bee instincts that tell me that this is a easy task, like breathing, and yet I can't keep doing anything more than vibrating my wings without leaving the floor like an idiot! So that how be?!? The human girl who reincarnated as a dumb Bee that couldn't even fly?!
....
...
..
.
Okay?!? This it's not going anywhere I tried to flap my wings the fastest i could and i almost did something with it, i was able to lifted myself up a little in the air, until i started to give up, I was so afraid of falling and getting hurt all over, that I ended up giving up halfway through again and again!
....I know, it's no use standing here, but also theres no use in falling and getting all hurted on the floor!... ugh!
Is been some time since this, I know ok, this already dark forest was getting even darker, but more important i finally, finally! I made it! I'm flying, well, it doesn't seem perfect and I feel like a human who has never flied, gliding in the air, my wings move with my will and seem to work very well now, it even seems that after so long repeating this hellish flight, I feel like i know how to fly better, even with my fear of falling hows didn't disappear even a little.
[Warning] |
[Skill]: Basic flight has been learned and can now be leveled up to level 10 |
OH??! so that's it, [skills] can give you the ability to do a task or action even if you don't have any practice with it? More important, what about the vice and vers? Could I do other things like singing, or climbing without a skill for it? Or are the [skills] the results of a repetitive effort, because well, I tried to fly for a long time before gaining that skill, if i stop to think... if all bees are born with the knowledge to fly then does that mean we don't need the [skill] to fly? But on the other hand it may also be that soon as a bee launches flight she gains this ability.
That seems important.... But not now at least.
I fly above the leaf where I am now and slowly fly to the ground, Ufff -- success, without any scratches or broken limbs. As I walk towards the puddle of water i end up being distracted for a second seeing the world around me, clearly it is not the Earth, there is plants of strange colors emitting witchy glows all over the place, strange shaped mushrooms are over the ground and tree trunks, there is a grayish moss that covers all of the ground and I even see fruits that I hade never seen before on a tree.
Arriving in the puddle I could see, even through the slightly dirty water, an insect face, mandibles onmy face, two antennae bending out of my skull and huge black eyes.
I stood for a while looking at what looked like a monster, that was me. I was that monster. And now, what the hell should I do? Until recently I was Hana, the human and now I am this, this thing, a bee in a fantasy world, what should I do, how should I react? I should scream, cry, accept this bee / Monster Life. Everything felt wrong, and I felt like a was frozen, staring at that reflection.
