《Tale of a worm(Rewrite)》Trap and bones

I
looking at the slightly more detailed description in the status
Royal black beetle egg
A special beetle egg with royal bloodline
Does not need to follow the larva and pupae stages
"That looks great" I said as I can only marvel at it's beauty when suddenly something went in my mind
"Ohhh fuck, how am I supposed to fight as a worm???" Well I mean my body is too soft,i'm not that fast and my only means of fighting were my poison and mandibles
Stop overacting, you got your skills and a lot more your brain
"Ohhh right, it might just be my anxiety that caused me to forget some things" I replied
I don't know why I put that calming skill, I think I need to check it if there are some malfunctions
Lemon pondered deeply, before turning silent
Welp, well I think it's finally time for me to grind for some exp and finally my evolution
I suggest making traps then only attack enemy head on if you are confident enough to face them or also wait underground to surprise the enemy then pull them under the earth so they won't be able to fight
lemon suggested
"Sounds good, but you think this egg not gonna hatch anytime soon???" I asked as I pointed at the egg with my imaginary hands
Not too sure about that, but well it might hatch 2 days from now or maybe tomorrow, I don't really know
She replied and continued
You have already practiced your skills, you might already be able to take on some insects like grass hoppers, but from what I can get with my limited access to information this forest is populated with a lot of variety of beetles and they were hard to take down because of their hard resilience and body

He said
"That will be hard" I said as i imagine the scene
"Is there some varieties that i will be able to take down???" I asked as it really will be important
Indeed there are some, but note that the concept here is different from your previous world
A lot of beetles here always live in a hive just like bees, it's hard to take down one beetle without the other noticing it. You need to be sneaky and avoid detection as much as possible
Some beetles doesn't live in group, but they are not pushovers either
Through there are some beetles that tend to separate from their individual group
She replied
"Any tips???" I asked
We don't have a choice but make traps or maybe sneak attack when there is chance and also kill it as soon as possible
"Huh, Ok I think of a trap" I said as a brilliant idea pop up out of my brain and just thinking of it really makes me laugh
///////////////////////////////////a few moment later//////////////////////////
Just near my house was a little deep hole 2 times my size cause i'm rather short, I'm not long like an earthworm or something. I'm just your standard worm
The side of the hole was quite rough, I tried to make it soft, but it's still rough
In the middle of it was a green pool. i have to empty all my reserve poison just to make this
This is clever, now you only need to put a bait and a weak cover
Lemon complimented me
"Ok, what do beetles eat anyway???" I asked
Hmmmm forget the bait for now, after all we don't have anything but grasses. Just put a cover on it, ooohhhh never mind. From what I know only beetle queen got some bit of intelligent and the others will just walk over it and fall to the trap

Lemon replied with delight
"What to do now???" I asked lemon
"kill some beetles I guess???" I added
"omg here you are again ignoring me" I said as i crawl away from the top and search for some yummy exp
I left my trap and scouted the surrounding with the help of the map that lemon created
It's kinda annoying and hard to find as I also need to hide in case there's a bird here cause I'm obviously a easy meal
'Now looking at my pitiful situation, a trap is good for beginners and there's nothing much I can do about it. Let's just be grateful that we are still not dead cause I'm going to freak out if I am.
I explored the places and look for bits of additional info I could add to my map cause why not????
I explored more and more until I saw a shocking sight, there's a giant skeleton wrapped by vines and can't move at all
"Hey there you sour Lemon, how many exp will I get if I managed to defeat that????" I asked lemon as I daydream of exp flooding my body
Bruhhh that's a level 1 skeleton, as much as I'm concern you will only get as much level as to evolve because of the weaken state of that thing.
And can you even kill that???
Hehehehehehe one day, one day I will surely turn you into a lemonade!!!!!
"Shut up Hehehehehe I will prove my strength and kill that thing!!!" I said proudly
*You asked me and now you're saying shut up* Inside lemon's mind
And so the skeleton looked at the dancing worm on front of it, dumbfounded and confused on things that's happening he just look at the worm dancing on it's feet, barely doing any damage to it's bone
"Hehehehehehehe strong you may be, but I'm DETERMINED!!!" the though of getting stronger fills me up
Getting stronger means better food, not bitter!!!
I continue hitting the skeleton over and over again
////////////An eternity later///////////
"I'm hungry" I said to myself as helpless as a shit
My attack is barely doing any damage at all
Ohh wait, my skills will rise faster if I used it on living creatures or creatures that can walk
"Hehehehe look here beast, you must be grateful that I did not kill you for I have a better plan for you!!!! I'm just testing if you are suitable for this great me!!!" I'm happy again
Ohhh for fuck sake, why did they give me an idiot host!!!
Lemon was crying for some unknown reason, well maybe she just realized how great I am
'I will surely make the greatest lemonade ever' I'm proud
*Kill me please* Lemon was despairing inside and also outside
And so the day was concluded with that
To be continued
I'm sorry I won't be able to sustain the 1600 words chapter and it's interfering with my work and my update

Filled with a burning desire for revenge, but the inability to carry it out, he hatches an insane scheme to change his potential and achieve exponential growth. But his enemies are quite literally the members of his own household and his close friends. He must fight tooth and nail for what he believes in and for the freedom to carve his own path. Join him as he battles people with both the best and worst intentions, with his life on the line. Current Word Count: 136 000, First arc complete. A lot of new content has been added to the early chapters since the end of May. The first chapters are still under construction and editing, but all the major changes are done. I was a webnovel junkie for a long time, but I found it hard to find novels with solid characters, decent plot, philosophical underpinnings and a fully painted world to keep me going. I've taken from every genre I've liked to make a story that satisfies my own cravings for a good story. If you like the story or have suggestions please leave a comment or review. I hope this novel is fun, provocative but above all fun. Enjoy. Yours truly, James Paul Addington PS I will release at least two chapters a week, or one really long chapter. Concerning the tags: The story is primarily Fantasy with Wuxia influence in some elements. Romance won't happen for the first two arcs or so (roughly 40 chapters), I want to build the world before I do that. Tragedy is because of an event that occurs in the book, not the tone of the book. The book is more lighthearted. Slice of Life doesn't occur till the third arc (the romance happens during that arc as well). Magic will also show up more in later arcs, but appears throughout. Reincarnation it's not a reincarnation like in the traditional sense, but it has a similar concept.

The Mortal Acts
The Mortal Acts is an epic progression fantasy with a lower focus on training aspects and a great focus on discovering new ways of using powers intelligently. I've always been drawn to stories where characters use their powers creatively to overcome opponents and obstacles, and I think all the possibilities can provide a great playground for twists and turns. It's inspired by a variety of media, including Will Wight's Cradle, Hunter x Hunter, and Bioshock, so if you like the creative power use elements from those, come check it out. This is my first serial, and please feel free to leave comments and feedback. For backstory, behind-the-scenes, and other fun stuff, come chat on my discord! Become a patron to read up to 20 chapters ahead here! Blurb: Riven Morell cuts short his regular life at school and home when his mother falls terminally ill. Desperate to find a cure, he travels to Severance Frontier, a desolate land haunted by hordes of ghosts, witches, and demons collectively called the Deathless. But a miraculous cure doesn’t magically fall into his hands. Things are worse in Severance Frontier than Riven had assumed. Ghosts are banding together into armies, demons are kidnapping anyone who strays out of settlements, and witches are enslaving everyone left and right. Riven, of course, gets embroiled in the mess. Missions to curb the Deathless activity are one thing, but when it starts to look like this is just the beginning of a war that extends beyond the mortal realm, Riven has a hard time focusing on why he came to Severance Frontier in the first place. His mother is inching towards death with every passing day, but if he doesn’t face down the Deathless, what little civilization the Frontier holds will be overrun and destroyed. Thankfully, it looked like the Deathless might just hold the secret of the elusive cure.
