“Ah!” With my head hurting like hell and my vision groggy, I rolled on the ground. If this was a regular day, then Tiny would have come to wake me up and then maybe Bill too, but as my sight stabilized I understood that I was still sleeping and having a dream.

A quick slap to my face by a bee, some wailing of the ants being eaten alive and some remembrance later, I understood that I had been kidnapped by the bees.

I worked my memory a little bit and it turned out that the moment I had jumped from the branch, my skills had back fired and I had lost conscious. I could even remember seeing the ants being taken away by the bees.

And I came to the conclusion that I was also taken by them.

It was good that the bees hadn’t killed me right on the spot, but I couldn’t understand why I was looking at larvae’s bigger than me being feed ants by their guardians!

But leaving them behind I decided to appraise the bees to see what kind of an existence they were and the result didn’t come as a shock, but it was still quite intimidating.

Though the stats of this bee were too much for me to handle or even a veteran soldier ant, but three ants ganging up on him would surely be able to put it in misery, and maybe even take his life.

And from using weakness tracking and examine on it, I found out the most venerable parts on it was its wings, eyes and the bottom. Means, the skills weren’t of much help.

{Weakness tracking has risen to lv 7}

All said and done, I saw around me were about 20 ants covering and shivering looking at those devil spawns, eating our kin like they were candies.

The room was pale yellow and the bees looked almost assimilated into the room.

Moreover the atmosphere was hot. Sitting in the room felt like standing in the sun for a whole afternoon. It was not only making it difficult to breath for me but was also making me sleepy.

*Ting*

[Skill: Heat resistance gained.]

{Faint resistance has become lv 2}

But the temperature soon got bearable, and new thoughts had started forming inside of my head.

I meditated to calm my mind and it increased in level and allowed me to actively meditate.

My mind calming down and my breathing coming back to my control, the thought to run and escape soon found its way inside my head, when I saw an ant trying to do so.

My mind said let’s do it, but the thought also went away quickly, when I saw one of the guardian Bees catching the runaway in its jaws.

It then cracked its head and served it to the biggest larvae on a silver platter. And the larvae delightfully munched on the ant.

It even rolled his head twice in the air to show its happiness.

{Overwhelm resistance has become lv 11}

{Dizziness resistance has become lv 6}

I gulped looking at the 20 something guardian bees standing at the side, and even more worker bees taking care of the larvae’s.

All in all there were more than 80 bees in the room and I was alone. I didn’t count the other ants, because I didn’t care.

But I knew that if I wanted to go back alive with a body, then I would have to sacrifice at least 19 ants.

I was brainstorming in the mid of a small headache, trying to find a way out, when the annoying blue box appeared.

You have skill evolution pending. Please check.

P.s- hurry up.

I checked and it turned out that the level up had given me 14 skills to evolve. I wanted to evolve all of the right there, but when one of the bee workers came toward me and dragged the ant next to me toward the larvae’s, I understood that I had no time for such a thing.

But to gain some edge over them I needed something like a specialized skill made t help me out of the situation.

So looking at the list I choose to evolve Foreboding, Hard surface, iron skin and bare handed mastery, for obvious reasons.

Because I understood that the defense skills would increase my defense. Because there was no way out without fighting the bees, and I had a hunch that skills [Foreboding] and [Mastery] would help me at that time.

First, I evolved foreboding.

{Foreboding has reached its maximum level}

And is presenting you with the choice to:

Dream or see

Pff!! I ended up laughing, but buried my voice before the bees placed their intention on me.

Dream or see? Did the system mean if I wanted to dream the future or see it?

If it is so, then surely I would like to see the future with my own eyes.

*Ting*

[Skill: Foresight gained.]

Foresight: Allows you to see the possible future paths of your opponent’s actions.

Lv-1/10; +.05Intelligence &Wisdom per lv.

I activated the skill to see the effect, and looked at the one worker Bee responsible for delivering the food to the larvae, and saw nothing happen.

My head once again started hurting when it activated, but I endured it and waited for a sign, and then I saw something amazing.

A vague and blurry bee similar to the worker took a foot forward. The foot then divided into three and three blurry bees came out, all moving in different directions.

It scared me, so I stopped the skill, and the projections vanished.

I took a breath of relief and came to the conclusion that at that moment the bee was probably going to move, but an external factor, the larvae had started crying, and had made him stop.

‘So this skill shows me the future. No, it predicts the possibilities. Not exactly what I wanted, but it will work. I think this is the most useful skill I have right now.’ I thought and nodded my head.

Then I choose to evolve Hard surface and something amazing happened.

{Hard surface has reached its maximum level.}

{Iron skin has reached its maximum level.}

{Breath has reached its maximum level.}

Would you like to combine all three of these skills to create something extraordinary?

Yes/No

What was there to ponder, I pressed yes and came the biggest skill gain box that I have ever had, following the sound of a heavenly bell that is.

But I was suddenly jolted out of my dream like state, when the same worker bee I had tested [Foresight] on moved. I didn’t even see him coming. I only heard a buzz, and then its hand was on my neck.

It tightly held me, and started dragging me to the larvae.

“Huh? What the fuck?”

I tried to thrash and get out of his grip, but that proved to be too difficult, and I saw that drooling face of those larvae’s getting near to me.

I tried to bite his hand, but my head was being held so firmly that I could do so.

Stab failed when my right leg got stuck in the hair on his back.

My struggling did nothing more than to anger it. It growled, lifted me up from my neck and…

*Bam* it slammed me on the ground.

My eyes rolled for a second, before faint and dizziness resistance kicked in and brought me back to my painful reality.

The next thing I saw with my rational mind was the face of the fat larvae coming toward my head to take a bite.

I was being strongly held in place by the worker bee. But I did what any sane ant would have done, if they were given the opportunity to face the larvae in my situation.

I lifted my head backwards, positioned my jaw on the larvae’s chin and took a bite. I tore through its extremely soft skin and took out a big chunk from his face.

I savored the taste in delight, while the larvae shrieked in the thinnest and the most annoying sound possible. Then the place got silent.

{Skill Bite has reached its maximum level}

And is presenting you with the option to:

Smash or Tear

I wanted to smash the shit out of these Bees, but thought that tearing them apart wasn’t a bad idea either.

*Ting*

[Skill: Mandible Cut gained]

Mandible cut: Your every bite will now cut things which you weren’t able to before.

[Skill: Mandible mastery gained.]

But the silence soon broke, and the bees started buzzing all together. Their buzzing made the whole room tremble and it affected our bodies too.

*Ting*

[Skill: Resistance against sound resonance gained.]

The resistance gained another level when the bees stopped buzzing and the one holding me spoke something.

“BZZzz bzzbz zbzbz….”

*Ting*

[Skill: Bee language gained.]

{Bee language has risen to lv 2.}

“You had the audacity to harm one of us bees, when we are fucking present here!?”

And I felt danger, a shadow moved from its bottom and stuck my thorax, before vanishing.

And then its stinger moved for real.

I panicked seeing that long and sharp thing coming toward my abdomen.

I tried to move, but nothing happened and the stinger pocked my skin, punctured my thorax and then flooded my body with toxins.

{Pain resistance has risen to lv 5….8….11…}

{Poison resistance has risen to lv 11…12…}

My body shivered, toxins wrecked havoc inside me and my head ached like it wanted to explode.

Form came out of my mouth, as blue boxes upon boxes filled my whole view.

I couldn’t control my body as my health kept on dropping and my vision starting blurring.

{Poison resistance has risen to lv 13…14…15…}

My body stopped moving and paralyzed, my went through a shock, but it recovered quickly.

But I didn’t despair. I knew if they didn’t eat me now that it will work out somehow afterwards.

*Ting*

[Skill: Paralysis resistance gained.]

{Health regeneration has risen to lv 3…4…5…}

And then my health regeneration started rising. Although my health dropped in multiples, but with every drop, it gained some of it back, and the rate was only rowing faster.

Then I heard the worker at the next larvae coming, and giving the one holding me a push and saying, “Why did you do that? Now we’ll have to throw it away. It’s such a waste!”

But then one of the big brutes standing behind watching over them spoke in his loud and heavy voice, “Throw it to the arena fighters. Let them have a meal.”

And giving a salute to the Spiky variant Drone bee, they picked me up and flew out of the room.
