《Woke Up a Tree.》Chapter 2 - Ant Colony
Advertisement
I woke to that terror deer eating my leaves again. I swung my branches at him but the stupid thing dodged everything I did. It was so frustrating. It finally ate its full and left me alone.
I woke up the ants and set them to patrolling my branches again. They were definitely bigger this time. I could tell whatever they were doing was making them bigger.
Bitey somehow communicated to me they were hungry. I was pretty sure Bitey was in charge of the little group I had going. I thought about what I could provide. I thought they were eating the bugs they were fighting yesterday but it turns out they weren’t.
I wondered what ants ate anyways. I never really paid attention to insects when I was. Huh. I didn’t really remember a time before being a tree. I wondered what the time before was. Anyways, I had no clue what ants ate. I looked around my tree for anything to feed to my ants. I had no food. But wait I was a tree, maybe I could grow something. I didn’t know how to grow stuff. I focused energy towards a branch and thought “Grow something good” at it. It took me a while but something started to bud at the end of my branch. It looked like it was fruit. I thought it was odd. I could have sworn I was an oak tree but here I was growing fruit. I spent the day growing the fruit and helping my ants fight other bugs.
By the end of the day, I had a cluster of what I thought were cherries hanging at the end of the branch. I told Bitey they could have the cherries and to make sure they shared. Bitey clicked her mandibles at me to show she understood what I was talking about.

The four ants gathered around the fruit and each one took equal shares of the cherries. It was almost time for the sun to set so I sent the ants back to their nest.
[Skill unlocked: Grow]
I received a prompt notifying me that I had learned another skill. “Growing” skill learned. I giggled a little bit inside my head. Leaves? Crown? Branches? I don't even know anymore. I thought that it was a fairly generic skill but what did I know about anything.
I promised myself I would experiment with this skill tomorrow.
When I woke in the morning a prompt was awaiting me. “Pick evolution for Bitey.” This looked promising I didn’t know what this meant. I asked “What options do I have?” I wasn’t expected a response but I got one. A list of options appeared before me.
[Ant Queen.]
[Ant Warrior.]
[Ant Explorer.]
I asked for more explanations but nothing happened. I looked around for a little bit. Finally, I said “I chose Ant Queen.” A burst of light exploded out from where Bitey was sitting in her burrow. It swirled around her and when it was gone Bitey was much bigger.
I heard a small piping voice reach out to me. “Hello. Thanks for choosing me.” I looked around and I realized it was Bitey talking to me.
“Hello Bitey. How are you? My name is.” My voice trailed off because I just realized I didn’t remember my name. How odd I thought to myself.
“I don’t recall my name.” I told Bitey. “You can call me Tree.”
“Hello Tree.” Bitey told me.
“So why did you evolve and the other three did not?” I asked Bitey.
“I don’t know.” Bitey replied.
I tried to nod my head at this. But I couldn’t. My branches swayed a little bit. “Since you are a queen, could you take care of the other ants for me?” I asked.

“I could.” Bitey told me. “What do you want me to do?”
“Pretty much what you have been doing. I would like you guys to continue keeping my branches clear.” I told Bitey.
I thought some more about it. “Also there is this deer that keeps coming around every morning and eating my leaves. If you could figure something out for me, that would be great.” I said while looking at Bitey.
Queen Bitey went back down to the ant nest and sent the other three back out to fight the bugs. Bitey was doing something in the nest area. It looked like she was making another chamber for herself. Oh she was laying eggs. She was making our army bigger.
I split my attention between healing Pinchy and her group, making more food and sending mana towards the eggs.
It was another fun day of basking in sunlight and drawing water up from the depths.
[Skill Unlocked: Delegation]
The people in the nearby camp were woken up by the eerie sound of leaves rustling in the wind. Some said it sounded like chuckling.

The War of our Stars (SWTOR Fan fiction)
YAH, PICTURE! Also, I used "The Old Republic", as I couldn't fit in "Star Wars"....... Yes, the title does mean something. I guess this is a SWTOR Alternate Universe Fanfiction? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I used glowtxt, Microsoft word, and paint to make that. I DO NOT OWN THE PICTURE, I got it when I searched up "copyright free". Also, I just used glowtxt, but if whoever made glowtxt wants me to stop, I'll get rid of it. Whilst this is a fanfiction of SWTOR, the setting is VERY different, you will not see any SWTOR characters within this Novel, there will be places both made up and already existing in SWTOR. Take for example, whilst the Dark Council still exists, it will have completely different members. Also, there are minor changes to the history before and during the Old Republic, but there is little overall change, with the main character starting out at a similar time to a starting character. Star Wars the Old Republic Fanfiction. You'll understand the title, not in the first chapter, but as Frederick goes to outer space. Before the Rule of Two, there were multitudes of Sith and Jedi. Numbering thousands of both Sith and Jedi, a great war between the Empire and Republic has existed since time immemorial. From our World, a young boy named Frederick is born into the Galaxy of Star Wars, born into an Imperial Family, he lives up to the expectations of becoming a powerful Sith. But all he wants to do is to survive.... But by surviving, he does more so than simply surviving. Many have made star wars fanfictions, and this one will probably...... (I have read, watched and played Star Wars, so here you go) NOTES: Action and Adventure are a bit light for the first few Planetary Arcs. I'm terrible at comedy and romance will come will really late. Absolutely terrible until Corellia.

Chaos Wave
The year is 2055. Virtual Reality has been around for nearly forty years, and the Full Sensation Dive System has been around for about thirty. The various countries of Earth have long since given up on Warring against each other in this dimension when it turned out that with the FSDS (Full Sensation Dive System) virtual worlds became real, especially once Richard Alonzo Albeque's AIQNPC (Artificial Intelligence Quest and Non-Player Character) System was released and spread like a wild virus across all the active MMOs. People vanished from their Dive system, leaving nothing behind of the person they were, and the Characters they were in game become locked out, and no longer responsive to the System. In addition to this, they are suddenly showing up on ALL servers of a game at the same time, almost as if they were now an NPC. The governments put a stop to all distribution of FSDS Technology, and keep an eye on these 'Digitized Players'. Ten years pass and one of the first ever Digitized Players, a Level 500 Catgirl by the name of Atreya the Dawnbirth, created a stable portal between their MMO and Earth. With the return of one of the players, the governments remove the bans on FSDS Technology, which has still been researched heavily while under the ban. Wars break out over control of Virtual Worlds, but these wars are all fought ON the Virtual World, so the Earth isn't polluted further. Immortality is now available to all who seek it, if you can find a World to call your own. Of course, nobody paid attention to one of the few warnings Atreya brought back with her... The NPCs sometimes became sentient and disobeyed coding laws.
