This is not fair! If my ice won’t kill you what will!?
The frog struggles but is unable to move from being covered in ice.
I don’t get it, my magic is a laser of pure ice, yet you still live?
…
Of course you won't say anything, your mouth is frozen… and you're a frog. At least your survival instinct is stronger than your one to kill or we both would’ve died from your smoke thing… well it’s covered with ice so you can’t use it anymore.
The frog struggles even harder causing the ice to crack.
Oh, I could probably just sting you.
I crawl up to the frog and angle my stinger to one of its frozen eyes.
This is uncomfortable, but it’s really the only way to kill you without the tongue getting in the way. Wish I had eyelids.
I plunge my stinger in the eye of the frog, ending it in an instant.
[you have killed an monster, gained 5 physical points]
Physical points? Oh right! The board said something about magic points when I ate snow… what do I do with them?… Can I even see my status? Uh, status, board, me, apprasile? No? Ok.
I barely give an attempt at seeing my status for I don’t really care, and I’m not sure if one even exists, but what do I do with points then? Ugh… I’ll try later, and I wanna get my stinger out the frog's eye, it’s disgusting.
I pull out my stinger then turn towards the frog, I grab it tube because it is the only point I can latch on to then start pulling it away from the tunnel's only pathway out. Once there’s enough space for me to fit through I let go of the frog.
After crawling out of the tunnel I see it's halfway till day from the moon's position. I start flapping my wings to fly off, trying to balance with the extra weight from the frog's tongue which is still stuck to my stinger.

Okay! Which way do I go? I think the moon is going that way, right? It is the middle of the night so it's hard to tell.
I start flapping off into the distance, observing the beautiful night that would be prettier with flowers and a nest full of honey and pollen… Why am I so interested in honey?
I haven't realized it before but all this time I've been so infatuated with honey, this is strange… I mean it is absolutely amazing and sweet… again!? What is this!? No. Forget it. It's probably because I'm a bee, so I'll accept it…
I shake my bee head as much as my neckless body can and remove these thoughts to focus on flying and hope my mind goes into autopilot, a great skill that is easy to learn when you go to school…
How'd I die? I was only 13! So young! An amazing future… or not, wasn't all that good, had two friends, never talked to them… MY XBOX ACCOUNT! NO! WHAT HAPPENED TO IT!? no… my Xbox friends… I'll miss you. Oh, my parents too, and my sister I guess… bee life is better.
But how I died, gotta think about that… I can barely remember my old life at all, just basic stuff. I most likely died on the bus, it would be the quickest death… that would mean my sister died too… could've been a school shooter… getting shot would probably hurt, so best not to remember.
Oh, I'm a bit sad for some reason, I should forget this session of thoughts, focus on now, not before. Maybe everyone else reincarnated, can only hope they reincarnated as bees too, being a human twice would suck… are there even humans here?
Ow! My stomach… I'm hungry. Why are there no flowers in this place!? And I have none left because I ate it all before the frog fight, and I don't wanna go back and eat the frog… not even sure if I'm even able to eat meat.

Could I eat snow again? I can apparently get magic points and level up my ice magic by doing it, don't know if I can do it forever though, be a bit overpowered.
I stop my wings and let myself fall into the snow.
Hope there's no stone, or shallow snow, maybe I should've flown down carefully.
I crash into the snow, luckily without crashing into a hidden stone or landing in shallow snow.
I open my mandibles and start devouring the snow in a swirling pattern until I cleared out a giant area of snow.
[You have eaten snow! Ice magic went up to lv3!]
[You have eaten snow! Ice magic went up to lv4!]
[You have eaten snow! Ice magic went up to lv5!]
[You now gain less magic points for fully leveling a skill!]
[You have gained 3 magic points!]
I clean my mandibles with my legs, I then use my tongue to wet my legs and clean myself to prevent any bacteria from collecting and causing the hive to get infected… Now that I think about it, pollen doesn't just turn to honey in your stomach does it? It's a magical world, so anything goes I guess. Why am I even cleaning myself? I won't be going to the nest any time soon, sadly.
Hmm, what do I do now? I'm lost, I have to eat snow, there's no pollen, can't go to any civilization or I might get killed… maybe I could make my own nest? I'm not a queen, but maybe I could aphid it and clone myself… somehow, I'm really lonely…
Maybe I should kidnap other insect larvae, ants did it on earth… not sure that the children will be of any use, and they might be smart enough to tell where not the same species… What if they can't eat honey? And there probably aren't any insects here in a frozen hell.

Silhouette
WARNING: THIS STORY HAS A SLOW START. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. We all grew up hearing stories about heroes and villains, but what would we do if we were to be part of one? One night, a bioweapon escaped from its laboratory in Zalcien, only to die in a dark alley. One night, a young man lent a helping hand, only to die alone in the dark. One night, a deity of death saw two lost souls and offered one a second chance in the other's body. Now a strange creature made of darkness, James has to deal with his new form in a strange new world where superpowers, heroes and villains are commonplace, far away from his home. Watch as he learns how to use his powers, as he meets allies and enemies and how, when facing the paths of heroism and villainy, he chooses a third way somewhere in between. Follow the story of James, a lost Earthling soul, as he becomes Silhouette, the mysterious power in the shadows. Greetings fellow humans. This is my first story on Royal Road and my first long-term project written in English, so I do hope you will have some mercy in your heart when reading. So, as you may have understood, this is a story with super-heroes - which is quite ironic for my first story considering all of the other ones planned are fantasy - and as such will take place in a modern-like setting. Despite dark themes and gory scenes making their way into the story, it is still a super-hero world with the logic that matches, so expect characters to survive nuclear explosions without a scratch and yet to get defeated by a rubber ducky - as well as similar dark humor, thus the comedy part.
