Chapter 2. I'm An Ant?
Chapter 2. I'm An Ant
POV Kira
*Where the hell am I?*
I thought while my eyes travelled around.
I was obviously in some kind of cocoon, it seemed to have covered my entire body. It looked weird but of course, this was heaven. Heaven was known to be peaceful because in fact, no one can move around in heaven.
*Heaven is more of a prison than a paradise. How can I not be allowed to walk around? Maybe this isn't heaven, this may be hell*
I continued in my thought.
--PING--
[Body and Soul Modification is complete]
A soft but monotonous voice spoke deep in my mind. It felt as if another person was talking to me in mind.
*Who just said that?*
I wondered while my eyes travelled in search of the entity that spoke.
[I am Player. I am Master's personal assistant, if you have any enquiries reach out to me. Do not be shy, I am here to help]
*I want to know more about where I am. Is it heaven or hell?*
[Neither, you were reincarnated the exact moment you died. Rather you are in fantasy world of sword and magic. In this world, there are also other races like humans, elves, dwarves, goblins and so on. You are a member of the Insecta Race, once a dominant race until the humans squashed it]
*Humans are always the root of all evil. They are the living embodiment of evil and its accomplices, the seven deadly sins*
[Most races have been subdued by the humans thanks to the efforts of the Northern Church and the Holy Empire of Xieranyi]
*Since I've played games for the majority of my life, I know there should be something like a status window*
[Of course, you just have to think of the word 'Status"]

*Can you explain the skills in detail cause most of them, I don't know what they can do*
--PING--
[Bite (Lvl 1) - Inflicts damage on the opponent using the power of the jaw to crush.
Boost (Lvl 1) - Increases the speed of the host by a certain percentage, depends on the level of the skill]
*These skills are basically easy to understand. Even through their names, I can easily guess what they are meant for and how I can use them. Maybe a little training will help me to get used to them faster*
[Telepathy (Lvl 1) - Helps the host to communicate with other entities.
Echo Location (Lvl 1) - Substitutes for the senses of sight, touch and hearing. Creates an imaginary scene for the host acting as his sight]
*Since I'm an ant, it makes sense that I'll need these skills. They are quite basic to understand*
[Sound Manipulation (Lvl 1) - Controls both natural and artificial sound. The host can control sound but it spends MP, the more the skill evolves the endless the opportunities.
Space Manipulation (Lvl 1) - Allows host to control space and so on. The possibilities are endless, the more the skill evolves. It spends MP but is worth it]
*These two skills seem to be the most powerful than the rest. I will have to train and practice using these skills when I'm out of here*
[They are not as powerful as me, Innate Skill: Player. I can do a lot of things, let me show you rather than tell you]
--PING--
[Player (Lvl Max) - Plays the role of the host's assistant. It is in control of all the host's skills. It has many sub-skills which makes it the most powerful among the host's other skill.
Assimilation (Lvl Max) - Gotten through your multi-tasking attitude in the host's former life. Allows skills to be combined into one skill, just like in Player]
*I see what you're trying to do. You want to make me know that you're the strongest. Let me tell you something, you being able to communicate already shows how strong you are*
[Got it]
"Well, are these all I can do?"
[Before I forget, there is also the Skill Shop. It may be a hassle to manage its affairs so I advice that you leave it to me]
*I agree with you there. I may be too occupied to be buying these skills*
--PING--
[Egg is cracking. Prepare for your adventure into a new world.
Good Luck]
Just as Player had said, my egg had finally cracked but it wasn't the face of my mother she saw. Because I was obviously blind so there was no way that I was going to see a face rather I heard a voice and it wasn't Player.
"You lazy newborn, will you get ready for work!", a deep voice said in a harsh tone.
However, I didn't pay attention to the voice cause I was shocked because of my view of the world. [Echo Location] was truly fascinating, it gave me a different perspective of the world.
*Amazing, truly amazing*
I could see how beautiful I had become. My appearance was that of ant obviously but I was mainly black with a taint of blue.
"Will you get to work!", an ant in armor obviously a guard commanded me as he directed me to follow him.
I took small steps since this was like baby steps to me.
*Player, you there?*
[Yes, Kira-sama. How should I be of service?]
*Where am I heading to?*
[It would more shocking if you don't know where you are going to but since you asked. You are heading towards the Highground where you shall begin work as a worker ant]
