Staring wide eyed at the screen, Will swallowed the remaining bit of his apple.

(WOW! I just got, like 3 new skills! Yay! So does this mean that I can’t be harmed by poison?)

System Processing…

DING!

The host’s only has full poison immunity whenever it is eaten, the rest of the body does not share the same properties.

(So it only protects what I eat? Guess, I need a way to raise resistance… or I’ll still die from being poisoned….)

Sighing quietly to himself, Will took another bite of the apple. Unaware, of how close to the bullet was.

FOREST’S BOUNDARIES

(Man #1) “Are you sure we can do this? This place ain’t called Hell’s Forest for nothing. Not only is it dangerous, it freakin HUGE! People still are trying to make a entire map of this place, and they found it centuries ago!”

(Man #2) “We have to do this! The King personally said that if anyone can find a way through this place, he’ll give us 100,000 Gold Coins! We just need to find a safe path through this forest to the demon’s side. If we can, then this war will flow more in our favor!”

(Man #3) “Just go! I got us all these bait so that they can distract the monsters for us! That's the only thing these animals are good for.”

All three gazed at the small group of five trembling young girls. Each had cat ears and tails extending from their human like appearance. Additionally, each wore a metal collar on their necks, inscribed with strange faintly bluish glowing shapes.

“CRUNCH, MUNCH, MUNCH, MUNCH”

“glup”

Taking a deep breathe, Will looked at the once full “Apple Bush”, now completely emptied of its fruits.

(These things aren’t bad at all! They taste kinda like apples….but have this weird other flavor with it… it kinda taste….. spicy?.)

Poison Resistance have level up.

(Wow! I wonder why my poison resistance keeps leveling up? Now that I think about it I haven’t checked out my status…. let’s get to somewhere safe beforehand.)

Moving away from the “Apple Bush”, Will searched for a place to hide nearby.

(AHA! Found it!)

He looked at a rather short tree, it’s branches were quite low on the ground, almost touching it. There weren’t signs of decay on the wood, and the branches higher up slowly fanned out and curled.

(It kinda looks like a pinecone, but tree-styled… I’ll call it a “tree-cone”.)

Casually naming the unique looking tree, Will cautiously climbed on the lowest hanging branch and crawled upwards until he was a few meters above the ground.

Just as he was starting to sit, he felt something near his tail.

(? I don’t remember seeing anything on this branch?)

Twisting his head towards his back, Will saw his leaf thingy.

It was still stuck on him for some reason, and while the top was hanging down towards the ground, the stem part attached to his back was still looking strong and healthy.

(Huh? I thought it fell off or something…. how is it still stuck to me?)

Then a fearful thought went through his mind.

(Its…. its not stuck to me permanently….right? Hahahaha, no way.)

Moving his mouth closer, he grabbed the stem with his mouth and pulled.

It didn’t budge.

He pulled again.

Still unmoving as ever.

And again.

CHIRP. CHIRP, CHIRP, (AKA Cricket noise).

Then he started mewing.

The sound of a sad kitty wailing traveled throughout the forest.

AROUND THE OUTERMOST LAYER OF THE FOREST

(Man #1) “Shut up! Did you guys hear that?”

(Man #2 ad #3) “What?”

(Cute little Kitty Girls) *Silence*

(Man #1) “Nevermind, it's probably nothing, must be my imagination or something.”

(Man #3) “Quit trying to scare us! We don’t have time for jokes! We need to be careful and quiet in here, so keep moving. We need to map out a pathway for the army.”
