Chapter 5
So!... How do I evolve?
I accepted the offer, all that’s left is to do the deed.
Will it happen in an instant?
That is correct, in fact, it has already been completed.
Fast!
But I feel exactly the same.
Your species has changed from [Pebble] to [Magic Pebble].
…Is there even a difference?
Yes, and no.
Ah, I know this feeling. It’s like playing a crane game and almost getting a prize, then it falls at the last second.
Goodbye expectations. You’re not welcome here. Please find a child who still has dreams.
Just as I was lamenting my fate, I was pulled out of the bag.
“Another one. However, thiss time I will ssucceed.”
“RAAAWR!”
What the heck is that?!
That is a monster called an Orc. They are quite muscular and resilient to physical damage. Their intelligence is quite low, making traps and ambushes quite effective against them.
I thought it was some sort of man-bear-pig. It seems this Naga intends to fight it, but why did it pull me out?
“I will usse the power of thiss sstone. Prepare yoursself Pig! [Icicle Spear]!”
Gah!! It felt as if my soul was being sucked up!
You are being used as an external magic source to fuel the Naga’s spells. That feeling was your magic power being absorbed.
What a horrible feeling. I wish I never met this snake-man.
By the way, how much magic was taken? I hope it wasn’t too much.
You have 1,100 Mp left out of 1,150 Mp.
Oh, not bad I guess.
It looks like the orc died in that one hit too.
“Asss I thought, I have been blessssed. Pleasse accept thiss offering.”
The lizard walks over to the corpse of the pig. Maybe he eats these things? He mentioned being blessed. I wonder what kind of God he worships.

He lowers his body and then the next thing I know I’m shoved inside the corpse… What the Hell?!
Ew! Ew!! Ew!!!
I’m being rubbed inside all over this thing! I have the feeling to barf, but I will never get the satisfaction of completing that action.
It feels like something is trying to enter my body. Ew… Gross… This is how horror movies are made you know?
Skill acquired! [Soul Trap (lesser)] has been added to the skill list.
Happy thoughts… Happy thoughts… Puppies, Ice Cream, a Barrel full of Monkeys…
Orc’s soul has been absorbed. A new Soul Gauge has been added to Status.
…There is no God! That thing I met was definitely Satan himself!
Title acquired! Due to your achievements, you have gained the title of [One Who Reaps Souls]. This title carries a negative stigma to it. Those of the Holy affiliation will likely be hostile.
I feel terrible… Like I’ve been violated…
“Now to return to my home.”
How I wish I could do the same.

ROACH- rising pestilence
A weary mind awakens in an unfamiliar body, lost, confused, scared, and very far from home. He doesn't know where he is, he isn't sure what he may become, and his stomach growls hungrily. But he knows one thing. He must feed and he isn't too bothered on how, only when. Through his struggles to survive trying to take his place in this world. It, the world will be forever changed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My first story here so let's do it! hopefully with flying colors. (This story is not about an insect that goes on an edgelord, death rampage, so those who came for that, know now what you are reading and stop rating down thx, still, some murder and mayhem is involved) Feel free to critique, I will be checking on reviews and comments every now and then to see what others think of my writing and how I might adjust it in the future. (although I'm also doing this for fun so don't get your knickers in a twist if things don't change to your liking). (Know that even if you comment/review that doesn't mean I will respond or that I will take your advice, after all, I too have my own preferences). A chapter tends to come out every fortnight, however sometimes it may be sooner or later, It depends on how lazy I'm feeling or how busy I am. Ps. A friend of mine drew the cover art, appreciate its homebrew goodness. PPs. serious readers may want to read the author's notes as well. PPPs. If you rate down please say why, I want info, not merely ratings that don't tell me anything, preferably in comments, so I can try to best satisfy my audience, or at the very least understand their reasons.
