《A Fly in Cultivation Universe》Chapter II

Dying was a hard thing to accept. Everyone of us, at some point of our life, are afraid to die
**
It's warm
My body feels like it was inside a cocoon. Its was the most comfortable feeling I ever experience in my whole life
'Am I saved? Maybe I was inside one of the medical pods?'
I feel my consciousness fading in and out of existence. Maybe my body was badly injured because I can't be awake for long
After numerous attempts to stay awake. One day my body finally managed to move. My sense of feel finally returned to me
'It feels like I'm in fetal position I'm not so sure'
Its seems like I am submerged in liquid. 'But why would a medical pod have liquid? It was supposed to be dry and have soft mattress. But why am I submerged'
Its warm
**
The next moment I was conscious I am feeling cramped inside this pod? Maybe I grown bigger?
Am I missing my years of living now?
Its warm
**
I can't breathe the warm liquid is gone now. It feels so tight in here. I need to get out here
I tried to open my eyes but I can't. I moved my body but I cant feel my limbs. Are they amputated?
I began to panic and moved my body. I wiggled trying to get out here and maybe once I was out my family will noticed and tell me what is happening
With me forcefully moving, the pod finally opens bit. Why would it crack not open at the top?
I continue on what I'm doing and cracked the other part. When I feel that I finally made a hole. I can get out to
I slithered because I don't have limbs that can help me move move faster

I began crying but I can't. My eyes wont open
When I got out I can finally get fresh air. I feel so tired that I fall asleep the moment I got out
**
Everything I see is darkness. I woke up just a moment ago. It feel strange waking up. My consciousness returned but it's the same. The world was still dark
My parent's was not here, even the doctors. I feel an extreme hunger that I never felt before. It was a strange feeling. I can smell the air, it was so delicious
Thank god my smell was there. Even the ground smells delicious. It feels soft
I cannot control my body anymore and succumbed to my instinct and take a bite at ground. It was heavenly flavor. It was like a 5-star delicacy
I continue to eat until my hunger was satiated. I wonder why I can eat the ground. Don't tell me the ground was edible in the first place
I feel tired again
**
I wake up and eat. That was my routine now. Even the pod was delicious
I find that strange because I'm certain that the pod was not edible because it was metal
'Or maybe reincarnated?'
With that thought I test if I'm reincarnated by testing if I have a system. I thought and said it in my mind
'System?'
'Magic Panel!!'
'Log!!'
'Information!!'
No? Maybe my system is not yet synchronized with me yet?
Well I was amazed of my adaptability. I easily accepted that I was reincarnated. Well that is my dream, to be reincarnated and become powerful. Okay, I just have an eight grade syndrome
I wonder if I can ever go back?
**
I grown bigger again I can feel it. I wonder what am I reincarnated to? It was certainly not a human. Because human have limbs.

Or maybe I'm snake. That would be cool maybe I can go to space also
But with my experience I think I'm a butterfly. If you think about it maybe I am a butterfly. I ate the pod which I'm now certain is an egg. The ground also, which can be a leaf
This would be exciting. I hope I can be a beautiful butterfly. Maybe my wing can be rainbow color. That would be enchanting
Anyway get back to work if I wanted to be a beautiful butterfly. I need to eat so I can form my pupa
This is so exciting!!
**
After eating for, I don't know how long I think I'm ready for my first molting
Molting hurts. That's what I can say. Proven and tested. Its like voluntary breaking your skin and getting out of it which is disgusting
Anyway I know the rules, for nutrition I need to eat my skin. Disgusting but needed. Now I'm a certified cannibal
After eating my skin I continued eating the leaves below my body. All I can say is this leaf was super thick
**
After many disgusting cycle of molting and eating my skin. I think I'm ready. it's already calling me
My pupa stage I am so exited!!
I began preparing. My preparation was simple. I eat until I'm full waiting for the destined time
Eating was all I did for awhile and finally I'm ready
I began to look a place for place. Where I'm going to do my pupa stage, or should I say I began 'feeling' where I'm going to do it .
I can't find the branch in this plant which is strange because caterpillars live on plants. I just found a corner which I fell safe, instead of continuously looking for a branch. I cant stop it anymore I need to start
'Goodbye outside world the next time you see me I will be the most beautiful butterfly you'll ever see'
With that I feel asleep inside the cocoon and waiting for the day I take the skies

Lost In Translation
If you're one to travel the roads, you may have heard of me. You may have heard my Names in the stories, the songs, and the whispers of the road. Perhaps you've even seen me during my travels, speaking to a bird of blue light, or on a city street, performing small acts for coin and repute. Or perhaps you may know me as the Skystrider, who walked with the wind. Or the Voiceless, a man of song without speech. You may know me as the Tutor, who taught the Lion of Summer how to fight, or the Traveler, who has walked all the roads of the earth. I am all of these things. And people have branded me a myth. But people don't understand what a myth is. They haven't heard the songs lost to our tongues, nor have they seen the things I've seen. They haven't gone to the places I've gone. My feet have walked the plains, the seas, and the clouds. I have spoken languages unspoken; tongues lost to time. I have sung to the earth, held the moon in my arms, and walked the roads that your heroes hesitate to even mention. I have outwitted Demons. I have danced with the Fae. My songs have been heard by lords of wind and ash, and my steps have echoed in the bellies of gargantuan beasts the likes of which you have never seen. These are what real myths are. And me? I'm no legend. I'm just the bard stupid enough to poke the real ones with a stick. Discord link here. [Disclaimer: Book 1 of this story will likely be published in KU by around the start of 2022, so please keep that in mind. Book 2 and onwards will continue here until they are published as well.]
