《Reincarnation as ???》Chapter 4 - Life as A Pretty Pretty Butterfly

Advertisement

When I regain my consciousness, my cocoon body is gone.

Instead, it has been replaced by the next step of its metamorphosis.

A butterfly.

Or, to be exact, a chimera butterfly.

My form now has various parts from other insects; the mouth of a moth, the stinger of a bee, and the antennae of a butterfly.

And now my size is as big as a normal human would be.

I believe I just transformed into a monster.

I concentrated my mind . The pebbles in front of me float effortlessly on the air.

Yep, still got my telekinesis. Wonderful.

I also find out that I have gained some other new abilities. There's the obvious bee stinger, and there's the not-so-obvious dust from wing. The frogs near the lake fall asleep the instant they got covered by it.

Oh, and I can also fly easier now. Back when I was a cocoon, I had to employ my telekinesis to do so but now I can just fly with my wings, meaning I can use telekinesis while flying far easier now.

Satisfied with my newfound strength, I decide to try it out against a worthy foe.

The plant monster.

---------------------------------------------

I find the thing soon after. It is currently feasting on a deer it just caught.

I open by giving it a nice dose of my wing dust. At first, it doesn't seem to be affected, but eventually, its movement slows before stopping completely.

I suppose the dust will take longer to be effective if the enemy is stronger.

Using this chance, I aim my stinger at the poor sod and fire off the sting. It pierces right through its leaf head.

Pretty good. But no side effect? Maybe poison won't work against plant-type creatures.

Satisfied, I use my telekinesis to rip apart its body.

That was easier than I thought.

-------------------------------------------------

After eating the monster, I realize now it's the perfect moment for me to explore more of my surroundings. I should assess my options first before deciding on what I should do from now. Surely I can't just live the rest of my life eating creatures in this forest.

Just when I am about to leave the scene, I hear a rustle coming from the bushes behind me. Quickly, I turn my body around, alert for any possibility for an enemy appearing.

However, the only one who appears is a little girl.

Yes, a little girl. Out here in the middle of nowhere.

I blink multiple times to make sure I'm not seeing things.

Her appearance is, for a lack of a better word, wretched. Her dress and cloak are in tatters, her face and hair are covered in dirt, and one of her ankles is bleeding.

Her expression instantly turns into terror when she sees me. At first, I am confused by that but I realize I now look like a big bad insect monster.

And then, she runs away.

That is, if limping pitifully can be called running away.

"Wait!" I shout, before I notice that my mouth is not equipped with the capability to speak words, turning my plea into a horrendous shriek.

Great, now I really look like a monster.

Quickly, I chase after her. I am not letting her go in that terrible state. She will just end up dead sooner or later.

And she is the first human I find in this new world. If I can somehow manage to communicate with her, I can gain some precious information about the state of this land.

Thus, I scatter my wing dust, putting her into a deep sleep.

Gently, I lift her up by biting her cloak. First, I should carry her to a cave I found earlier. There, she will be well hidden from the wild animals and monsters around here.

And after that... well... I'll think of something.
