POV: Parasitic Seedling
‘Uughhh… what in loli heaven was that, the pain was unbearable, I’m surprised I didn’t pass out the second it started.’
*Report
You were defeated by your opponent.
Win Defeat
Lv3 Root + 100N VS Lv1 Root + 50N
Gain 100N Loss 100N + 3x Lv1 Roots Destroyed + Lv2 Root Destroyed*
‘What the hell how can a tree defend itself from me aren’t they inanimate objects, and what’s with these losses not only did I lose the nutrients spent but an extra 50N and my root as well. That no good, heavy handed, swindling son of a bitch, I don’t care who hit first you’re going down tree.’
After my rant I checked my calendar to see how much time passed since the attack, apparently it was 1 week dead on.
‘That’s convenient make’s things easier to keep track of things, let’s see take my original count then add 31N for every hour that passed, no wait I lost some roots so that number goes down by…’

‘Damn I forgot about that, oh well never mind cause look at those sweet digits almost 5000N looks like I will get my revenge quicker than expected. But first reinforcements, from past experiences I know a large number of roots is vital for gaining more nutrients over time.’
*Do you wish to purchase 86x Lv1 Roots for 860N? (Y/N)*

‘Yes, now to strengthen them to Lv2, they might not be impressive for gathering nutrients but there better for strangling some poor tree to death.’
*Do you wish to upgrade 86x Lv1 Roots to Lv2 for 1720N? (Y/N)*
‘And with that preparations are complete let’s get some wood…, I’m a plant these things don’t mean the same thing anymore so shut up negative voices in my head. Back on topic revenge, look out random tree in what I’m guessing is a random forest I'm coming for you, switch to my map and let’s begin. ’
POV: ???
‘Something feels ominous I haven’t felt this way since that last attack why am I having it again so soon?’
The being increased its awareness and began to observed its surroundings with more detail and immediately began to panic.
‘That’s… impossible, it’s only been a week it can’t have regained what was lost in the last attack so soon.
In front of this being was a scene straight out of a horror film, though since they don’t have films in this world I suppose it was like a horror story told during moonlit nights. Roots spread out from a source and completely surrounded the being like outstretched claws, at once ten roots charged as one.
*Notice
Parasitic Seedling has attacked your 8x Lv3 Roots with 10x Lv2 Roots and +100N per root. To continue please offer more than 100N for each opposing root to prevent invasion of your body.*
‘What… what is this… its power level… it’s over 1000! That’s impossible, it’s just a seed it can’t beat me… no I refuse… please stoooppp.’
POV: Parasitic Seedling
*Your attack was successful you have infiltrated the opposing tree. Do you wish to drain the tree of its total nutrients 210N? (Y/N)*
‘Ha ha haa, take that you stupid tree nobody steals from me and gets away with it, now about the prize… that’s bloody bullshit. In the first fight I bet 50N and lost then it stole an extra 50N while destroying some of my roots, now I bet 1000N and won but it only gave 210, half of that was mine to begin with, what a waste.’

*Due to your greedy nature you have the option to capture the tree and farm it for nutrients till it dies from exhaustion.*
*Do you wish to capture this tree? (Y/N)*
‘Now that’s more like it, yes.’
*You have captured a tree, the tree will behave like an extension of your body enabling you to use Plant Sight and Plant Hearing, this tree will also share some of your abilities.*
*You have gained the title Monster Under the Bed, this title increases the chance of surprising an opponent when engaging from beneath.*
*You have gained the title Landowner, you can now capture and control multiple plant lifeforms and use them for your own gain.*
*New parts and abilities have been unlocked.*
‘Now that’s a reward; titles, abilities, part and I can see now, wonder how that works?’
Suddenly my presence was dragged away; it felt like I was sitting in a motionless elevator all this time and now it decided to move. It was quick and finished just as fast but the surprise wasn’t over, the doors opened.
‘Light! Aaaarrgh, my retinas they burn… wait do trees have retinas, oh forget it moving on. That change felt almost natural like I always had eyes but couldn’t open them, I imagine it’s similar to when a baby’s first open there eyes. And there’s sound as well particularly crying.’
I followed the noise until her image came into my sight.
[???] “(Sob sob) How could you (sob) do such a thing (sob)?”

Home of Laplace
I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar mountain peak standing tall above me like seeing a skyscraper from the street. Soon the chilling burn of the snow that covered me began to invade my senses and I flung my torso upward, sitting up straight. I grabbed my head in confusion as my eyes surveyed the area around me: The corner of a mountain wall stood menacingly in front of me accompanied by thin, dangerous looking paths on either side. The likes of which only adrenaline-seeking psychopaths would use. I turned my head backwards and felt my heart drop as what looked like an infinitely long freefall met my gaze. I was sitting on the ledge of a snow-covered mountain. "CRKKKK" A heart-shaking croaking sounded from above me further up the mountain and I jolted backwards at the impossibly loud sound. 'Shit, wasn't there nothing behind me?' The sound of cracking stone accompanied the heart dropping sensation of descension. As I plunged down backwards, the last thing I saw was the deep-set brown eyes of that blue-skinned monstrosity further up the mountain. ----------------------------------------------------- Levi Laplace is a former genius biochemistry student that died a simple and laughable death on earth. Having studied profusely and written many papers published by large firms he was well-respected and accomplished in his field. But that did not prevent him from having his own problems in his personal life. Having chased behind the back of science for so long he had neglected his social life, ending up lonely and without a partner in his early twenties coming out of his studies. He decided that the best way for him to rekindle his social prowess was to retire to teaching high school science in a small town. He never ended up falling in love as he dreamed but he did find surprising contentment from dealing with the troubled raccoons he taught on a daily basis. Finding himself summoned to a strange world by unknown forces he is confronted with harsh issues and the struggles of its people. Meeting many more problem children, he is moved by his sense of duty to help them find their path in this journey through life. As well as find his own in this dangerous new world. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Chapter updates DAILY AT 12:00 PM EST (...Is the goal, sometimes a bit later in the day or the next day at 12:00 instead :P ) Definitely at least once every two days though!
