I'm in danger

Hell amongst paradise. That's the best way to describe this, expansive expanse. I know it sounds stupid, but this place is stupidly large, and I still can't get it. I mean. this IS underground right? At this point I dare not say, although the crystal stars gleaming in the sky form a dome. Well, only if you get past the huge canopy of the forest I find myself in. Or, at the periphery of. If I was in it I'm sure I might have already died, this place just reeks of strong presences, so much that I can't even discern any. Which, coupled with the strangely creepy lack of any monsters visible nearby greatly scares me.

Oh.

Scratch that, I can see a couple of baddies, and man do they not look friendly. Oh well, I guess I'll just avoid them as best as I can and eat the weak ones I find, I am kind of hungry. Off we go!

I squirm left and right in my typical wiggle, still quite full of energy after my resting, which is a little bit of a surprise. I thought I was lazy but man do I want to groove right now. If only this world had music. Sigh.

As I go forth, I make sure not to wander too far in. I don't know what's in there, but it gives me a chill from all the way over here so I'll just stay back. Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Good lord Jeremy, this grass is so tall! I can barely see above it! And this is after I evolved! How am I supposed to avoid potential threats when I can't see? Just kidding, my void sense still allows me to see around me in a hemisphere, albeit reduced from the sheer amount of obstruction. I even get a little overloaded from the sheer amount of grass blades. You just don't get this kind of action with normal vision.

Oh! Gotta go to the right a little, just sensed a swarm of those crawling mosquitos again. Ah. Well right isn't an option, there seems to be Shadow Crab rave going on. Sheesh, why are there so many of those gathered here anyway? It looks like an adventurer party. Creepy. Eh, this whole place gives me the creeps. I guess I'll just go forward. I just have to be careful not to go too far in.

Wiggle wiggle. I am wriggling and wiggling everywhere these days. If I was my old human self I'd be so grossed out right now. I used to even torch bugs with a lighter and some canned spray. Those were some good times, back with my buddies. Well then, even I can tell I'm kind of lonely. I should think of finding a friend, or a pet. A pet seems more reliable too if I'm honest. The intelligence of most of these creatures is just too low. Ooh, let's make a sharp left, got some Nine-Legged Spiders ahead. Seriously, what is with these lower-level monsters grouping up? It is starting to seriously alarm me.

Speak of the devil, it's those Shadow Crabs again. They even have to mage types in there. This is getting serious really quickly, I should leave.

Oh.

Great, just great. Just when I think of leaving I encounter a hermit crab thing. I don't know what that thing is, but it feels more dangerous than the shadow crabs. Well, guess I'll just slowly backtrack around. yup, sllooowwlly....

Snap!

What?

Roaa?

Roar!

Surprised by the sound of my body snapping a stray twig, I unconsciously let out a little grunt, and what is it but my luck that I met a monster? I twist around to see my newfound enemy, before widening my mental eyes in surprise. That is one big tree monster,

"Hey um, what the actual fuck."
