****(POV)~Good luck reading this one xD

Hate him. Hate him so much!

​​

He's the strongest of us all. The strongest of the Gu ancestors. We wish we had the same ability. He's the oldest. He's the strongest. Will he be forever?

We are so jealous. He managed to drink the blood of that strong creature. How long has it been? It was at the very beginning. Ever since he's been too strong for us. We want to drink blood too. Or, eating flesh works.

We live because of the pact. We cannot do anything because of the pact. Even the strong one cannot. We are stuck here. All we can do is fly, or swim. No one enjoys swimming.

Sometimes, he makes us swim. We hate it, but he's strong, too strong. Because of the pact he cannot attack us and we cannot attack him, but we know. If we go against him, he will do that thing again.

Anyone that disobeys, he binds with his tentacles. Not being able to fly is the worst. We are Gus. We were meant to fly.

We vaguely remember the time we couldn't. We all do. No one wants to feel like that again. It's embarrassing. So very embarrassing. That's why we follow the orders.

That is when we hear something. There are humans in the cave. How long has it been? Too long. Far too long. We are so hungry. There is demonic energy around, but it doesn't taste good.

Humans taste good. No, not humans. The fear is the best. When their heart starts beating so fast. When their skin starts shivering. When their cries start echoing. Ah, human suffering is the best.

For a second, we are happy. We are joyful. But then we remember. This is not our happiness. We are the weakest ones. We cannot go against the strong. He will take it all. We will just watch.

We want to struggle but we know. It will all be pointless. When will the next human come? We wish there were more. Ah, wait there are two humans, not one. So lucky. He's so lucky. We wish we were stronger.

That is when he goes toward the first human. It is a weak human. A human so weak it doesn't even have clothes. We know it, the stronger the humans the more colorful their clothes. He lands on the human's arm.

It is over. The tentacles are already attacking. *SLAP* Wait. What?! There is something strange. The strong one is dead?! How?!

We watch. We cannot understand. This human should be weak. That is when the human speaks.

[Just not this one. Did you see how easily it died? We may as well look for a Gu ancestor directly, wouldn't you agree?]

Gu ancestor? We are a Gu ancestor. At least we think. This should be how humans refer to us. This should be how the pact calls us too.

That is when he walks toward us. We are hiding in the rock. Now is a good chance to eat the human. We just need to be careful. We, Gus, are strong as long as we are not seen. Weird…so weird…we will wait.

We are good at waiting. That is when we feel the others. They are here. They are not good at waiting. Humans are delicious, we understand them.

This one flies down from the ceiling. It slowly enters the human's hair. The human hasn't noticed at all. The human will die. It will….

"In your hair! There is a huge spider Gu!"

[What?! Get it away from me!]

The human flails his arms.

"Wait, I think you killed it too. Why are they attacking you? Shouldn't they behave since you are their god?"

[*Sigh* I guess it's been too long since I've come here. *Cough* Let it be a lesson, do not ever put your guard down against wild Gus.]

"Yes!"

This one too died? Why didn't he bite the human? He had enough time. Weird, very weird. Ah, will this one try now? This Gu there is a very good jumper.

We have seen it at work. It will jump in the human's mouth and devour him from the inside. This one is extremely deadly. Should we try too? No, we are weak.

We cannot fight against them. We do not want to be forced to swim again.

*CRICKET*

*JUMP*

*GULP*

[*Cough cough* What the hell is wrong with these things?!]

"What happened?!"

[Didn't you see that?! The crazy critter just jumped straight into my mouth. This is so DISGUSTING and ….actually, it doesn't taste that bad.]

"A Gu jumped into your mouth?!"

[Crazy, right?! Have they been stuck here so long that they have gone crazy?! What kind of suicidal tactic is that?!]

Eaten? It is just the first part. Soon it will devour its way out. We have seen it before. We just have to wait.

Soon…soon…soon…is it dead? So strange. This human is dangerous. We should not attack. We have a new plan.

Wait until the human kills all of the other ancestors. Then we will be the only ancestor, we will be the strongest. No more swimming. How long will we have to wait?

*CRUNCH*

"What was that?"

[Eh, I'm not sure. Let me check. I don't see anything.]

"Ah! I think you just walked on a Gu by mistake! Look at that gooey stuff on the floor."

[Wow, just wow. I can't wait to meet an actual Gu ancestor instead of these useless ones. Can you believe how fast and randomly they are dying?]

"Yes!"

Crushed, so easily. This one had the best armor. Not the sturdiest, but anyone making contact with it would die instantly. The barbs were supposed to dig deep into the sole. The human should have been dead. The human is fine.

That is when a smart one attacks the human behind him. Both cannot be that strong, right?

[Careful! There is one flying toward you!]

*SLAP*

"Thank you for saving my life!"

[No problem. Actually, these are probably normal insects that mutated. Otherwise, they wouldn't lack intelligence so much.]

"Ah, I see! What about that one? It looks pretty strong!"

The finger. It is pointing at us. Is this the end? The human becomes bigger and bigger as he approaches us. Quick! We hide all our deadly bits and play dead.

[Oh, wow. Would you look at that? This one is definitely a normal insect. It's so small, dirty, and weak looking, but at least it's not aggressive. Guess I can bring that one back with us.]

Danger! Danger! Danger! We feel our body getting raised up in the air. We see the big eyes glaring at us. Don't eat us, please!

[Alright, you kinda look like a brown leaf. From now on your name will be Leaf. Behave. Now let's look for the Gus.]

Leaf? This Gu ancestor is now a Leaf. We will be anything, even this human's dirty little Gu. Just don't kill us. Please? We are scared, this human is scary!

Wait, is he bringing us outside? What about the contract?! Even we realize how dangerous this is...
