Chapter 2

Egg eating Dark Worms

I regain my consciousness and now is the second day .

Also I finally came to understand that this forest that i was in, was a dangerous forest full of monsters .

Monsters like, some black crocodile looking thing and other giant insects which i dislike .

This place probably isn't Japan .

This place probably is Africa .

I always knew that Africa had black crocodiles, giant insects, walking eggs, and some kind of bear with 4 arms .

I should have paid a more attention to things outside of Japan .

That way i could have known that there was such a dangerous country out there . . . I really want to cry right now .

By the way, this day I got the [Hunger Resistance] and [Poison Resistance] skills .

Because of a mushroom that i eat earlier my stomach hurts, it really hurts .

Well, at least i understand that it won’t be dangerous if i just have it in my hand .

Anyways, let’s test the [Roll] Skill .

As if by instinct, i just rolled over to the side .

[Roll] Skill leveled up to level 2 .

I rolled from a high place which ended up with me falling and it dealt quite the amount of damage to me, [Fall Resistance] Skill level up to level 2 .

I almost killed myself .

Naa, I’m tired, God’s Voice-chan . . .

I want to go back home, i want to take a bath, i want to eat chips . . .

[Special Skill [God’s Voice: Lv1] is unable to explain . ]

Please, let’s have a conversation .

I feel like I’m going to die from loneliness .

I’m about to start crying .

[Resistance Skill [Solitude Resistance: Lv1] was acquired . ]

I’m sorry, i don’t think that that will be necessary .

Your consideration makes me happy though, but it isn't what I’m looking for .

I want the warmth of another person . . .

I’m not a man who can endure being alone, I don’t want to become a lonely man .

I don’t need to be the strong, i just want to keep living as a human who has recognized his weakness . . .

Human life huh, something like being born from an egg means that i will change .

Which reminds me, when did i come here?

I don’t seem to remember . I do recall that I’m Japanese, and i still have my common knowledge which tells me that monsters shouldn't exist .

I don’t quite remember if i was a man or a woman, but probably a man if i think about it .

Was i abducted and brought to Africa?

Then, i wonder who is God’s Voice-chan?

[Title Skill [Straight Fool: Lv1] was acquired . ]

. . . I wish you would stop with those kind of answers .

Fine, you just hurt my feelings

Anyways let’s confirm my status .

‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

Ahh, the Clutz skills also leveled up .

I recalled something that I didn’t want to remember .

Really, how could this skill be helpful .

It seems that HP can be recovered by just lying down .

Both of this days, I've paid a lot of attention in order to not get hurt and end up dying because of that .

I have been avoiding monsters, eating small fruits that fall from the trees and little insects, and drinking the spring’s water .

Though I didn't want to, it was inevitable .

I thought I was going to die from hunger .

Even I think that giving up after two days is fast .

It can't be helped . Compared to when I was a human the feeling of hunger is much stronger .

*This set of sentences actually confused me for a while, i still tried my best but i ain't so sure about them .

I’m still in my growth period .

I mean, I’m still an egg .

Even if my level goes up . . . Will i be able to fight?

I don’t think i would be able to hit a monster .

Since I’m an egg .

When will i hatch?

God’s voice said that i was a dragon’s egg, shouldn't there any feeling that I’m growing?

Maybe it won’t happen unless I don’t level up?

I need to defeat monsters?

That’s impossible!, I’m just an egg!

Nest?, didn’t I fall from my nest?

Didn’t I fall from a tree?, could it possibly be that it was the dragon’s nest?

It could be that there is something that stimulates my growth

Ah, danger .

There are some grotesque caterpillars at the base of the tree .

This discovery was quite late . (考え事してたせいで発見が遅れた。)

That thing’s name is Dark Worm

When I fell down here, they began to chase me .

Naturally, I was able to escape .

With the exception of the dark worm, other monsters just seem to ignore me .

They just seem to overlook me .

It could be that they think that if they try to attack me the parent dragon will come forth to protect me, now that I think about it God’s Voice said something like that on the first day .

But, that fellow always attacks me .

Let’s check the Dark Worm status, [Status inspection] I said in my mind .

Dangerous, really dangerous .

His overall status is better than mine .

My agility is slightly better than his, but for now I should escape from here .

Now I know why that guy was so obstinately aiming for me, it’s because of that strange Title Skill that he has .

[Egg Eater: Lv1]

It really probably is because of that .

What I came to understand was that, that guy seems to know the taste of an egg .

An agreement is impossible . It would be inadvisable to communicate with that thing .

It seems like, right now, the Dark Worm somehow lost some HP .

If I wait for it to fall asleep, will I be able to finish him off?

His level is higher than mine, but my defense is a bit higher than his .

If I receive one attack I would be out, but I think that I should be able to win if I use my advantage in agility well .

Alright let’s do this .

I’m going to beat that guy down, so I can level up in order to hatch . And bring this egg life to an end .
