“Where… am… I…”

“It hurts….”

My mind feels as if a thousand daggers are stabbing it at once.

THROB

Throb

…throb…..

Slowly the pain goes away, and it’s replaced by a feeling of warm comfort. And a bit of claustrophobia.

I can’t move. Shit. I can’t see. Shit. What’s going on?

I try to feel my limbs, my body. Nothing. In my center, wherever that is, I feel some energy, or potential. Whatever it is it is pulsing slowly. As I think and try to define myself, I feel information flow through my mind.

Name: --- Age: 1 Day Gender: ♂/♀ Level: 0 Class: Plant Sage Race: Bermuda Seedling HP: 1/1 Mana: 0/0 Growth Points: 3 Growth Rate: 0 pts/hour Strength: 0 Vitality: 1/1 Agility: 0 Intelligence: 115 Titles: [Destined to Die], [Reincarnator], [Martyr], [Boundless] Abilities: , , ,

What was that? I felt a rush of information run into my mind, and I barely comprehended a small part of it.

BUT!!!!

What the FUUUUUUCK!

Did I see Bermuda Seedling!? As a RACE!? Nonononononononononononono NO.

Is that what he meant quick death? A fucking grass seed? What potential does that have! Potential my ass.

A grass seed has no natural defenses, and has almost zero chance of surviving, even in a good area, for longer than a season. And I have no fucking clue as to where I am right now. I could have blown under a tree, stuck in a cave, or even be in the gut of an animal before I awoke here, and be doomed before I even breach the soil.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis…..

Ok, I’m feeling a little better. By a little, I mean I’m still so angry I can almost not think. Almost. So let’s try to get to that information, before I blow up again.

Come on, what was it? I was looking deep within myself, trying to feel myself out when….. Aha!

Name: --- Age: 1 Day Gender: ♂/♀ Level: 0 Class: Plant Sage Race: Bermuda Seedling HP: 1/1 Mana: 0/0 Growth Points: 3 Growth Rate: 0 pts/hour Strength: 0 Vitality: 1/1 Agility: 0 Intelligence: 115 Titles: [Destined to Die], [Reincarnator], [Martyr], [Boundless] Abilities: , , ,

Let’s see… Name, well of course my name is…… huh. What was it again? Huh, I can’t remember. Well, a new life, new name I guess. But I wonder if I can name myself?

….

Damn, I can’t think of a good name. I mean there’s Axle, or Steel, or Maximus the Golden, but I just can’t think of a name that fits me. I guess what they say is true – a name is given, not assumed.

Ok, age, normal. I did just wake up. Can’t think I’ve been alive for much longer than a day. What’s more impressive is that I can think at all as a grass seed. Gender……. Sigh, I was hoping it wouldn’t be exactly what I see before me. Grass is unisex, being able to generate pollen, seeds, and even clone myself. It makes sense that I don’t have a classic gender. But I definitely feel masculine. I was definitely a man in my past life, so hopefully this doesn’t cause many issues for me if I end up living longer than a day.

Level, 0. Levels? Like in games? This world is a classic fantasy!!!!! Awesome, if only I wasn’t fucking grass I might be happier to find this out….. In fantasy there’s monsters and magic, where the environment gets destroyed willy-nilly. At least in my previous world the dangers were much easier to understand and plan for: draught, fire, seasons. Well at least the class name sounds pretty cool, and looks like it sounds like it synergizes with my race. HP, mana, standard stuff. Growth points and a 0 growth rate. Huh, I must be able to use those somehow to, well, grow haha. Welp, Strength, Vitality, Agility all make sense, I am still a seedling. But that intelligence must be because of what I know from my past life. I wonder what normal stats are for people in this world? From what I know from D&D, 10 is average for a person. So there’s two options, that it’s nothing like that at all, or due to my scientific knowledge my stat is much more than normal people. Now, Titles..

…….

……

…..

[Destined to Die]……

I don’t even know anymore. Give me a chance, huh? Fucking bitch. Ugh. Pretty ominous though. Wonder what it does?

[Destined to Die] Rank: X Due to a greater power's curse, this being is fated to face deadly encounters more frequently than a regular being. Increases attractive forces for those who are hostile towards the being's race. Attractiveness is based on the hostile being’s intelligence (Higher intelligence = weaker attractiveness. However, minimum intelligence needed to work).

Ok, this may not be as bad as I thought. Let’s think about this. So right now my natural enemies are birds, insects, slugs, and ants? I think? This is a different world, who knows what’s out there. I can neglect things like fungi, viruses, and bacteria at least. Wonder what intelligence it needs to activate, and how strong is it? I might be safe from slugs, and if the queen ant is far enough away I hope I can avoid that battle since the drones should only have a little intelligence.

I’ve been itching for a while. While I’ve been able to ignore it so far, it’s been slowly building, and now it’s at a point I can’t ignore anymore. These must be genetic memories, telling me it’s time to grow. The rest of my status can wait. Let’s see….. There it is. Ability .

Rank: F Active: Inherent ability for plant based beings. Rank determines level of abilities available. Current Unlocks: Grow Root(1), Grow Stem(1), Grow Leaf(1)

Ok, looks like it’s finally time. To grow, first I need to extend a root downwards, then poke my stem, or base through the soil, then grow my leaf. Looks like my seed has everything I need to do that, 3 Growth Points for 3 actions. Ok, let’s go! Grow Roots!

Ok, a feeling like it activated comes over me, however nothing happens. Ummm….. maybe I need to pick a direction? Ok, grow down, with gravity!

Eeeaauuugghhh. Ahhhhhhhhhhh. Man that hurt, but I feel muuuuuch better. Like after a sprint and I’m tired, but it feels good.

Ahhhhh. Ok, next should be the stem. Grow Stem upwards!

Ahhhh, since my shell was already broken, this one felt more relieving than the last one with less pain.

Last up is Grow Leaf straight upwards!

Ahhh, there we go. I feel much better now! I’m officially a blade of grass!!!
